Chapter 1251: Bluffing Out a Pile of Radish Positions!

On Monday morning, after Cheng Lin arrived at work, she notified the personnel responsible for this Public Selection to hold a meeting.

After the meeting began, Cheng Lin said in a serious tone,

"Comrades, this Hanzhou Public Selection is intended to screen for capable and potential outstanding cadres through social selection methods.

This selection method has continued for many years with significant results, bringing vitality to Hanzhou's cadre ranks.

However, some have set their sights on this pure land, using the power they hold to engage in underhanded actions and destroy the fairness of the selection.

Here, I am issuing an ultimatum.

If you pull back from the brink and confess voluntarily, I can handle it with leniency.

If anyone abuses power for personal gain, I will investigate to the end and will never tolerate it."

Faced with Cheng Lin's sudden ultimatum, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

After the meeting ended, everyone discussed it heatedly.

"Minister Cheng, why is she so angry today?"

"Could it be that some City Leader received a report?"

"Public Selection is a key talent reserve project that the Municipal Party Secretary pays attention to. Someone dares to cut corners here; isn't their courage a bit too big?"

Around three in the afternoon, Cheng Lin received a call from Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao had also followed the right person.

Cheng Lin was transferred from Tianling County to the Municipal Organization Department.

Xu Qiao followed closely in her footsteps.

Having worked with Cheng Lin for many years, Xu Qiao already had the ability to handle matters independently.

However, she remained single.

As for her boyfriend, after he recovered, he found a colleague at school and was already married.

Regarding Xu Qiao's marriage, her older sister Xu Miao was also quite anxious.

But Xu Qiao was very firm.

She felt that if she didn't marry in this life, living alone was also fine.

Xu Miao, however, knew that her sister's heart had always been occupied by an impossible person.

"Minister Cheng, Division Chief Yao would like to request a meeting with you."

"Mm, I will wait for him in the office."

A moment later.

Yao Shanchu walked into the office, his face full of unease and shame.

"Division Chief Yao, please sit."

Cheng Lin poured a glass of water for Yao Shanchu.

Yao Shanchu took it cautiously and said shamefully, "Minister Cheng, I have come to admit my mistakes to you."

Cheng Lin remained calm, "If there are any mistakes, you can bring them up, and we will face and resolve them together."

"Among the positions in this Public Selection, there are several that some leaders have put in a word for. Before this, I did not pay enough attention. But today at the meeting, your criticism was deafening, and I feel I must confess some issues to you."

"Division Chief Yao, your attitude is very good. I hope you can list out exactly which positions have issues."

Immediately following this, Yao Shanchu took out a list.

"This position in the Education Bureau was arranged by Mayor Chen.

This position in the Public Security Bureau was arranged by Director Xie.

......"

Cheng Lin remained calm; she had originally only been testing the waters, never expecting to ferret out a pile of "radish positions."

Thinking back, the Public Selection was promoted by Zhou Chengwu during his tenure.

This talent project had supplied a lot of fresh blood to Hanzhou.

But, in just two years, it had changed its flavor, becoming a cradle for nepotism and the breeding of corruption.

"Division Chief Yao, the problem is very serious! As the main person in charge, why did you turn a blind eye?"

"I'm sorry, I, I know I was wrong."

"Civil servant positions require fairness. Confess truthfully, do you have any financial issues?"

"No, I truly have no financial issues!"

Cheng Lin said coldly, "You don't, but that doesn't mean others don't. In ancient times, if this kind of fraud occurred, it would cost you your head!"

Division Chief Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly tried to make amends, "Minister Cheng, how should this matter be handled? Should we cancel these positions?"

Cheng Lin said, "If we cancel the positions, wouldn't the public selection become a farce? Many people have given up a lot of time and spent a lot of effort and cost for the sake of the selection, just to come out on top.

You must immediately arrange for personnel to clear out the entire list of people involved in these radish positions.

I will hand the list over to the relevant departments."

Division Chief Yao saw Cheng Lin's determination and secretly thought that she was truly not afraid of offending people.

However, upon closer thought, with Cheng Lin's background, she indeed did not need to fear offending anyone.

After obtaining the list compiled by Division Chief Yao, Cheng Lin made a call to Du Chengfeng.

"Secretary Du, there is a matter I need to report to you."

Du Chengfeng was somewhat surprised, because the Municipal Organization Department did not fall under his direct supervision.

So generally speaking, Cheng Lin did not need to report work to him.

"Alright, I'll wait for you in the office."

Hearing the knock on the door, Du Chengfeng called out for her to enter.

After Cheng Lin walked in, Du Chengfeng took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for her.

"Minister Cheng, is there something the matter?"

"Secretary Du, there is a matter I need to report to you. The city is currently organizing a Public Selection, and there are phenomena of Luobogang in several positions."

A look of gravity appeared in Du Chengfeng's eyes.

In fact, from the information Du Xiaofeng had revealed when she came to see him that day, he had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"The problem of Luobogang existing in the Public Selection cannot be ignored."

Du Chengfeng took the list from Cheng Lin's hand and quickly found the position that Kuang Zhaoting had applied for.

"I suggest striking out all personnel on the list suspected of irregularities, and then filling the vacancies according to the written examination scores," Cheng Lin suggested.

Du Chengfeng nodded slightly, "Very well, let's proceed according to your suggestion."

After Cheng Lin left, Du Chengfeng took the list and went to find Municipal Party Secretary Li Chaoyang.

Upon learning of this matter, Li Chaoyang immediately convened a Temporary Standing Committee Meeting and flew into a rage regarding the issue.

Immediately following this, the problem concerning Luobogang was nipped in the bud.

After the Luobogang problem was resolved, Cheng Lin dialed Tang Ye's phone number.

"The problem you reported is true; serious issues were indeed uncovered. Thank you for the reminder."

If such matters were to be publicized, it would be unfavorable for the primary person in charge.

Therefore, Tang Ye had indirectly helped Cheng Lin clear a mine.

"Sister Lin, you are too kind," Tang Ye said with a smile.

Cheng Lin said, "The upcoming public selection will be absolutely just and fair!"

Tang Ye thought to himself, this way, even if one fails, there will be no regrets.

After hanging up Cheng Lin's call, Tang Ye dialed Du Xiaofeng's number.

"Little Aunt, it's Tang Ye."

Du Xiaofeng was somewhat surprised, "Is there something the matter?"

"Regarding the Luobogang you reported earlier, it has been resolved."

"Really? Did you help pull some strings?"

Tang Ye knew Du Xiaofeng had misunderstood him and hurriedly explained, "It wasn't pulling strings; it was ensuring the fairness of the selection. There is no favoritism or malpractice; everyone is the same."

Upon hearing this, Du Xiaofeng was somewhat shocked, and also somewhat unable to laugh or cry.

Originally, she had wanted to see if Tang Ye could find some way to get an edge.

As it turned out, he went straight for a clean sweep.

Well, this is just great!

Everyone with connections has been dealt with...

From now on, everyone has to rely on their real ability!

Is there any such way of "helping"?
