Chapter 336: Transaction

On November 19, Li Mingzhou went to Chang'an to attend the Standing Committee meeting, focusing on studying the problems fed back by Wang Hongtao and the inspection team to the Qinchuan Provincial Party Committee.

The meeting decided that regarding the corruption and bribery problems of Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Peng, a special case team would be established by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee, with Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Chen Dong as the team leader, and immediately go to Yinzhou to launch an investigation.

Li Mingzhou secretly sighed, Wang Hongtao's counterattack came so quickly, the inspection team had been down for less than half a month, and they were going to take down the Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary. It was truly loving and hating, and the means were not hard!

After the meeting, Li Mingzhou dialed Wang Hongtao's phone and said with a smile, "Hongtao, I have been in Yingjiang for this period of time, and I came back to attend the Standing Committee meeting today. If you can arrange time, at least let me do the landlord's friendship!"

Wang Hongtao laughed, "Secretary Mingzhou, it seems that I am the 'landlord'! Okay, let's wait until the afternoon when I am busy, I must treat you!"

"Good, then I will set the location and send you a message."

In Ganshui County, County Party Committee Deputy Secretary Wang Zhikun came to report to Lu Fan in high spirits that the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC had approved "Ganshui Tofu" to implement geographical indication product protection!

Lu Fan was very satisfied with this and said happily, "Ganshui Tofu and Ganshui Dried Tofu have been protected as intangible cultural heritage of Qinchuan Province, and have successively won the 'Houji' gold award at the Agricultural High-tech Fair and the trustworthy brand of Qinchuan Province Consumers Association. Since 2007, it has won the Qinchuan Province famous brand product many times, and now it has won the national geographical indication product. We must promote it with great fanfare and use these five 'titles' to make a big fuss. We must come up with a practical plan to transform the brand effect into economic benefits, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing income for the common people and enterprises!"

Wang Zhikun said, "Secretary, with the ability and vision of Ganshui cadres, I am afraid we can't come up with a good marketing plan!"

Lu Fan nodded and said, "Indeed, let professional people do professional things! You take the lead in this matter, find the top brand planning company in the country, and come up with an overall marketing plan for Ganshui. I am not afraid of spending money, I am afraid of spending money without effect!"

"Okay, Secretary, I will do my best!"

When it was almost six o'clock, Secretary Li Mingzhou rushed to the Qinchuan Hotel, personally ordered a few dishes, and waited for Wang Hongtao's arrival.

Thinking of this person, Li Mingzhou couldn't help but feel moved! In terms of background, starting point, and resources, Wang Hongtao could not compare to himself in any way. When he knew him, he was only a deputy department-level cadre. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this person was on an equal footing with himself! Even entering the eyes of the high-level, the upward momentum was still rapid, and the future achievements were limitless!

Thinking, Wang Hongtao pushed the door, followed by a person who looked familiar.

Wang Hongtao said apologetically, "Secretary Mingzhou, waited for a long time, I will punish myself with ten cups later! Really sorry, just finished reporting work to Secretary Jiazhong."

Li Mingzhou waved his hand and said, "The inspection team has a heavy responsibility and is busy with affairs. It is completely understandable. I am very happy that you can come!"

Wang Hongtao pointed to the side and introduced, "Secretary, this is your soldier, my classmate, Yuan Weiwei. After drinking, let him drive you back!"

Yuan Weiwei hurriedly stood up, greeted Li Mingzhou, and briefly introduced himself.

Li Mingzhou looked at Yuan Weiwei thoughtfully. Wang Hongtao would not bring this person for no reason!

Looking at the wine on the table, Wang Hongtao said, "Secretary, let's drink something nourishing. Weiwei, go to my car and get two bottles of deer blood wine!"

After Weiwei left, Wang Hongtao showed a difficult look and said, "Secretary, please forgive me! My relationship with Weiwei is indeed special, so I rashly brought him here. If there is an opportunity, please take care of him, Secretary Li!"

Li Mingzhou didn't pick up the topic, but asked, "Hongtao, regarding the Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary candidate, I think you have a plan?"

Wang Hongtao said, "This is Qinchuan's affair, I dare not overstep. However, Secretary Jiazhong just asked for my opinion, and I recommended Minister Li Guoquan!"

Li Mingzhou nodded and said, "It is a suitable candidate. Rest assured, I will fully support it at the Standing Committee meeting! As for Yuan Weiwei's matter, there is a good position, Ganshui County County Head!"

Wang Hongtao would not understand the truth of taking it first, and must give it first? Li Mingzhou's support was so strong, it is estimated that the plan is not small, right? But Wang Hongtao was indeed moved by the position of County Head, so he asked, "Is the County Head of Ganshui Wang Baoguo?"

Li Mingzhou smiled slightly and said, "You can let him vacate the position, or take it down directly. The Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee has mastered some corruption clues about him."

Wang Hongtao thought for a while and said, "Secretary, hand over the clues to me, and the inspection team will transfer them to the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee, so it can be faster!"

Li Mingzhou didn't say a word, took out some materials from his bag and handed them to Wang Hongtao.

Between three or two words, the fate of a County Head was decided! No wonder Wang Baoguo sighed, don't be an official without a background, maybe one day you will become a sacrifice!

Wang Hongtao's goals were all achieved, so he must return the favor, saying with a smile, "Thank you, Secretary, for your strong support for me personally. If there is anything I can do, just speak!"

Li Mingzhou smiled and said, "Hongtao, there is really something I want you to coordinate, it is about Lu Fan. You know about his matter with the Le family. Is there any opportunity to take down Le Xueren in this inspection? I have the 'knife'!"

Hearing this, Wang Hongtao fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, "Secretary, some things are long-term! This inspection is down, Secretary Tang Yi explained specific problems, Le Xueren is a deputy provincial-level cadre after all, and there are people speaking for him. Instead of startling the snake, it is better to wait for the opportunity and settle the account after autumn! I promise you, I will manage this matter to the end!"

Wang Hongtao's words confirmed Li Mingzhou's conjecture. It is estimated that after Song Yong is taken down, it will be his turn to take the position. This is indeed a very ideal position!

"Hongtao, I know the matter is of great importance, it is not urgent at this time, just like you said, it is long-term! Oh, by the way, Yuan Weiwei went to Ganshui, I hope he can help Lu Fan bring Ganshui up, Ganshui's situation is excellent now!"

Wang Hongtao said, "County Head is the 'second-in-command,' Party, government, army, people, school, east, west, south, north, center, the Party leads everything! Weiwei will definitely correct his position and do his job well under the leadership of the County Party Committee. Oh, by the way, Secretary, I talked to Minister Yixiao about Weiwei's matter, and I will talk to Secretary Jiazhong when I have the opportunity!"

Li Mingzhou teased, "You are now holding the Shangfang Sword, your words carry more weight than mine, your talk is more effective than mine!"

After the business was finished, both sides were happy.

Wang Hongtao sent a message to Yuan Weiwei. Not long after, Weiwei trotted in with two bottles of deer blood wine.

The three drank two bottles, not much or little, just right, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Every promotion is the result of human relationship operation and power contest! Some people benefit, others must be sad. After the results come out, some are happy and some are sad!

At the end of November, Lu Fan was accompanying the Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture to investigate in Laoshan Town when the phone of Municipal Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Wu Xiaohua called, telling Lu Fan that people from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee had rushed to Ganshui County to take measures against County Head Wang Baoguo.

This sudden news surprised Lu Fan, who hurriedly apologized to the Deputy Director and rushed back to the County Party Committee.

At eleven o'clock at noon, a deputy director of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee Supervision Office came to Lu Fan's office to explain his intention.

Lu Fan represented the County Party Committee and stated that he would obey the organization's decision and cooperate with the organization's work.

Then, he dialed Wang Baoguo's office phone and said, "County Head Baoguo, please come to my office!"

"Okay, Secretary, I will go immediately."

Not long after, Wang Baoguo rushed over!

After pushing the door and entering, he saw several strangers in the Secretary's office, and his expression was very serious. After many years in the system, Wang Baoguo immediately started to guess the other party's identity, and his heart was in turmoil.

Lu Fan sighed slightly and said, "Baoguo, these are comrades from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee. They are looking for you to verify some problems. Please cooperate!"

The deputy division director of the Supervision Office said, "Wang Baoguo, we are the Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office. Please explain some problems at the specified time and place!"

Wang Baoguo's legs went soft, and the two staff members were very experienced and immediately supported him.

Looking at Lu Fan, Wang Baoguo's lips were trembling, and he opened his mouth with great difficulty, "I... I will cooperate with the organization's investigation, Secretary Lu, please notify my daughter Wang Yewei, so as not to worry her!"

Lu Fan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I hope you actively cooperate with the organization's review and explain the problems truthfully!"

Three minutes later, the whole Ganshui County compound was like experiencing a magnitude 7 earthquake. The cadres were shocked to see a scene that made people dumbfounded. The County Head who was high above and majestic on weekdays was actually taken away by the Discipline Inspection Committee! This is really unbelievable!

This news quickly spread throughout the county, causing a huge uproar. People were talking about it, and some even doubted whether they had heard it wrong, but the facts were before their eyes, and they could not be doubted. This was the first County Head taken down in Ganshui's history!

The government office was panicked, and everyone was in danger.

Executive Deputy County Head Yang Chengyu sat in his office uneasily. Whenever there was a knock on the door, he felt worried, completely becoming a frightened bird!

There were also some cadres promoted by Wang Baoguo who were the same, such as the Finance Bureau Director and Audit Bureau Director!

Soon, Deputy Secretary Wang Zhikun came to Lu Fan's office to report on work and directly proposed that he wanted to strive for the position of County Head.

Lu Fan was not surprised and planned to help him operate, so he said, "Zhikun, your qualifications and ability do not have any problems. I certainly hope you go up. But the position of County Head is relatively important, and it is a provincial-managed cadre, so it will definitely experience a competition, and the result is difficult to predict. I will vigorously recommend you to Secretary Mingzhou. If you have any ways, don't hide them at this time. Let's work together and strive for a good result!"

Lu Fan's words made Wang Zhikun very moved. Ordinary leaders would not talk to you so heart-to-heart.

"Secretary, it is mainly because the opportunity is rare, and I am really unwilling not to fight once. No matter what the result is, I will be very grateful for the Secretary's help and promotion!"

"Hmm, keep a good attitude. As long as we do our work well, there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities! Oh, there is one more thing you can handle. Notify his family about Baoguo being taken away by the Discipline Inspection Committee."

"Okay, Secretary, I will call now."

Lu Fan couldn't make this call to Wang Yewei. ===== CHAPTER 337 =====
