Chapter 1095: Convening the Five-Person Group Meeting!

~8 min read 1,450 words

Returning to the County Party Committee Compound,

Tang Ye held Zhou Songtao's diary and knocked on Han Zhengyi's door.

"Secretary Han, there is an important lead. We discovered that Comrade Zhou Songtao left behind belongings; this is a diary he wrote while he was alive!"

Han Zhengyi flipped open a page, "Where was it found, and are you certain it was left by him?"

Tang Ye nodded and said, "He enjoyed photography while he was alive and rented a garage to use as a darkroom for developing photos. Besides the diary, there are some film negatives, a portion of which are related to the construction site accident at Jinyu Tianxia. There are also a few that involve Mao Yu's private life..."

Han Zhengyi knew he could no longer hesitate; he picked up the desk phone and dialed the Liaison Officer, "Convene a Five-Person Group Meeting."

The Liaison Officer could hear the hidden anger in Han Zhengyi's words, "Understood, I will go notify them right away!"

County Party Committee Five-Person Group Meeting.

Its core function is to serve as a preliminary deliberation platform for major matters, playing a key role especially in the appointment and removal of cadres, inspection rectification, and the response to emergencies.

If opinions are unanimous, it is submitted to the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee for formal decision-making; if there are major disagreements, it is postponed, thereby avoiding gridlock in the Standing Committee's decision-making.

The Standing Committee of the County Party Committee is larger in scale with a longer decision-making cycle, while the Five-Person Small Group achieves rapid response through streamlined membership, while simultaneously ensuring compliance through checks and balances between members.

County Party Secretary Han Zhengyi.

Deputy County Party Secretary and Acting County Mayor, Tang Ye.

Full-time Deputy County Party Secretary Shi Guangrong.

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhao Shuli.

Organization Department Minister Dong Zhangan.

This structure covers the key areas of the Party, Government, Discipline, and Organization.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Han Zhengyi glanced at Shi Guangrong, "Secretary Zhao, please tell everyone about the issues regarding Comrade Mao Yu."

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhao Shuli looked around the circle and said with a grave expression,

"Secretary Han, according to our preliminary understanding, Comrade Mao Yu indeed has many instances of violating laws and discipline, mainly revolving around three aspects:

First, he has close dealings with Chen Shunfei, the Chairman of Shunteng Development Company;

Chen Shunfei has obtained several well-located plots of land over the past few years, and he has been secretly pulling strings for him;

Second, his lifestyle is ostentatious; he privately drives a Toyota Prado worth over 500,000,

This car was purchased for him by Chen Shunfei, and the registered owner is Cheng Xin, the General Manager of Shunteng Development Company;

Third, his conduct is problematic;

He frequently frequents hotels with a woman named Li Haizao."

Hearing this, Tang Ye had a clear idea in his mind.

Mao Yu acted too arrogantly; the issues concerning him were no secret.

It was merely a matter of waiting for the right moment to expose them.

This is officialdom!

You may seem to be laying out a strategy, but in reality, you might be on someone else's chessboard, having become a tool in someone else's hands.

Zhao Shuli ranked sixth in the County Party Committee leadership; he was not well-liked and usually gave the impression of being low-key.

But at this moment, he was somewhat different from before.

There had been many complaints about Mao Yu previously, but they had all been blocked, which made the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission very passive.

Now, he could finally hold his head high; he finally had the opportunity to bring down the insufferably arrogant Mao Yu.

"Other comrades, please share your views!"

Han Zhengyi looked toward Organization Department Minister Dong Zhangan.

Dong Zhangan coughed and said, "Comrade Mao Yu has indeed made many contributions to Yechuan County. We cannot deny his ability, but he has truly changed a lot over these past few years, gradually distancing himself from the masses and forgetting his original intentions. We must take this as a warning!"

Next was the speech by Full-time Deputy Secretary Shi Guangrong, "First, we must investigate the issues regarding Comrade Mao Yu to confirm his illegal acts;

Second, besides Comrade Mao Yu, we must also see if there are others suspected of violations, and follow the vine to find the melon, dealing with them strictly;

Finally, we must use this opportunity to launch a Rectification Movement to give the government system a fresh start."

Hearing these words, Han Zhengyi touched his pen cap.

Tang Ye observed this detail.

Clearly, the relationship between the third-in-command and the first-in-command was not particularly harmonious.

Mao Yu was Han Zhengyi's confidant; for Han Zhengyi, Mao Yu's problems this time were a major blow.

As for Shi Guangrong, he had previously been at a disadvantage when facing the powerful Han Zhengyi!

Now, he had finally found an opportunity.

Recently, every time Shi Guangrong had a meeting with Tang Ye, he had been very enthusiastic.

Tang Ye had actually noticed this signal, but Tang Ye simply pretended not to know.

Judging from the reactions of Shi Guangrong and Zhao Shuli, this moment had been awaited for a long time.

The order of speaking at meetings is like drinking in rounds.

Sometimes it goes from high to low, sometimes from low to high!

This time, the speaking order was reversed.

At this moment, it was Tang Ye's turn to speak.

"I have not been in Yechuan County for long, and while I am in the process of familiarizing myself with the situation here, I do not know Comrade Mao Yu very well.

This time, the issues were mainly discovered during the Safety Production Rectification Action. He repeatedly helped Shunteng Development Company obstruct the working group from entering the construction site for inspections, and even fabricated claims that the working group was engaging in corrupt practices and demanding bribes.

Later, Comrade Li Yongan and I went to the Safety Supervision Bureau to understand the situation. Our comrades did not violate any discipline; it was Chen Shunfei who made malicious complaints, which was confirmed by the comrades in the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Subsequently, Chen Zhihe, the Director of the Safety Supervision Bureau, received a request from Mao Yu to have a meal with Chen Shunfei to mediate the conflict. After the meal, Chen Shunfei attempted to gift a house in Jinyu Tianxia to Chen Zhihe, but was refused by Chen Zhihe."

Judging from this matter, Mao Yu, as the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, has a conflict of interest with Chen Shunfei.

But at the same time, we cannot deny all the cadres in our ranks.

For example, Comrade Chen Zhihe is quite good and has successfully resisted temptation!"

These words from Tang Ye had several layers of meaning.

He had not deliberately overreached his authority;

it was while pushing forward the Safety Production Rectification Action that these problems were discovered.

While discovering corrupt elements, he also unearthed positive figures, such as Chen Zhihe.

This was also a positive reward for Chen Zhihe's clear choice of allegiance.

Dong Zhangan, Minister of the County Party Committee Organization Department, nodded with a smile and wrote down Chen Zhihe's name in his notebook.

He knew in his heart that this person must be the cadre County Magistrate Tang wanted to recommend for key promotion.

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Han Zhengyi began his summary with a serious expression.

"Regarding the issue of Mao Yu, the deeper we dig, the more serious the problem feels.

With such a major problem appearing, I must reflect deeply.

There is no time to lose; we must handle this seriously!

We must absolutely not let this unhealthy trend continue to blow.

The Discipline Inspection Commission must take immediate action to bring the problematic personnel under control.

The public security bureau, the Procuratorate, and other relevant departments will act jointly to coordinate the arrests."

Zhao Shuli's spirits lifted, "Very well, Secretary Han, I will launch the operation immediately!"

……

Humans are advanced animals.

Animals on the great grasslands will sense danger in advance when it appears.

Mao Yu had clearly already sensed the danger.

Chen Shunfei had been arrested, Feng Feng had reported him, Han Zhengyi had called him in for a talk……

With all these events linked together……

He realized that this time, he was likely in trouble……

Mao Yu stubbed out the cigarette he had just lit, took a work uniform out of the cabinet, and quickly changed into it.

After going downstairs, he pulled down the brim of his hat and snuck out through the back gate of the compound……
