Chapter 894: Liang Pingfan's Apology Letter!
Zhou Chengwu knew that the doubts raised by Secretary Tian were not directed at him.
He was expressing his opinion from the standpoint of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
In the appointment of cadres, controversy is the greatest taboo.
Nowadays, rumors about Du Chengfeng are flying everywhere.
Promoting him to Municipal Organization Department Minister at this time would obviously cause public opinion to ferment.
Provincial Governor Gao set down his teacup and took up the conversation quite naturally.
"Hanzhou still has many excellent cadres. I saw a news story that Comrade Zhao Disheng saved people on a rainy night a few days ago, and it is very popular on the internet. He entered the Standing Committee earlier than Du Chengfeng and is also a suitable candidate for Organization Department Minister."
Zhou Chengwu said unhurriedly, "Provincial Governor Gao, Secretary Tian, regarding Comrade Zhao Disheng, I have indeed considered him carefully. His work ability is very strong, and he has a very strong enterprising spirit, but he has always been engaged in government affairs and does not have a special understanding of party-mass work."
Provincial Governor Gao said with some displeasure, "As far as I know, Zhao Disheng has also been in charge of party-mass work at the grassroots level and has served as the head of municipal units, possessing the ability to coordinate the overall situation. The Municipal Organization Department Minister requires knowing people and using them well. Zhao Disheng possesses this quality."
After a simple probe, Zhou Chengwu was already clear on the positions of the several people.
Secretary Shen was supporting him.
Provincial Governor Gao wanted to strongly support Zhao Disheng.
Provincial Party Committee Deputy Secretary Secretary Ye was sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight.
Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Secretary Tian was focused on the matter, not the person!
Not long ago, Provincial Governor Gao's wife traveled to Hanzhou, and at that time, Zhao Disheng's wife, Li Lingyu, hosted her throughout the trip.
Therefore, Provincial Governor Gao was holding Zhao Disheng's personal file and recommending him as a candidate.
To tell the truth, Zhou Chengwu's mood was somewhat depressed.
The Organization Department Minister is not an ordinary position.
If this position is not one of his own people, for the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it is equivalent to losing one of the most important scepters.
Xia Hong being transferred to the Provincial Organization Department looks like a promotion, but in fact, it is also clearing a position.
Because Xia Hong, in the strict sense, is not Zhou Chengwu's direct subordinate!
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhou Chengwu chose to bring out his bargaining chip.
"Regarding the National Highway 301 safety accident in Tianling County, I have an investigation report here, and I ask everyone to take a look."
Secretary Shen nodded slightly.
He took the investigation report from Zhou Chengwu's hand.
Secretary Bai handed the glasses to Secretary Shen.
Secretary Shen put on his glasses and began to read carefully.
Because he did not expect it to be a Five-Person Group Meeting, Zhou Chengwu had only prepared one copy.
After Secretary Shen finished reading, he handed it to the others.
The investigation report reconstructed the accident that day.
How the safety accident occurred at the time, how it was handled later...
It was recorded in great detail.
Zhou Chengwu was determined to protect Du Chengfeng.
A cold look appeared on the corner of Provincial Governor Gao's mouth, "The report has been read. To have results so quickly, the efficiency is good. However, this cannot absolve Du Chengfeng of his responsibility, right?"
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Zhou Chengwu pondered how to counterattack!
At this moment.
Provincial Organization Department Minister Cheng Guodong interrupted the silence in the conference room.
"Secretary Shen, I have something to report to you!
Yesterday afternoon, Tianling County Party Secretary Guo Zhengting took the initiative to find me, stating that he should bear the main responsibility for the National Highway 301 safety accident in Tianling County back then.
At that time, Du Chengfeng was the County Magistrate, and he was the Standing Committee Deputy County Magistrate.
Guo Zhengting was in charge of this project, and Du Chengfeng emphasized many times that construction safety must be guaranteed.
Of course, there was also the reason of a natural disaster. It rained heavily that day, a rare occurrence in ten years, which led to the accident..."
After speaking, he took out a document and handed it to Secretary Shen.
Secretary Shen took a look and commented, "Guo Zhengting is willing to stand up; he still has a sense of responsibility!"
Zhou Chengwu was also somewhat surprised at this moment.
He knew that Guo Zhengting had gone to the Provincial Organization Department yesterday and met with Cheng Guodong.
He did not expect that Guo Zhengting would actually adopt the method of throwing himself in front of the gun, taking all the responsibility for the project upon himself.
Provincial Governor Gao silently picked up his fountain pen and began to twirl the cap.
Guo Zhengting taking the initiative to shoulder the blame disrupted his rhythm.
Minister Cheng continued, "There is another important figure in this case, and that is Wei Jian, who served as the Executive Deputy County Magistrate. Everyone should be clear that Wei Jian has already been dismissed from both his party position and his public office.
However, Guo Zhengting did not shirk responsibility and insisted that he should bear this responsibility.
In addition, he stated that Du Chengfeng is a superior with personal charisma, and his contributions to Tianling County are praised by the common people. He cannot suffer such an unjust charge because of this!"
Guo Zhengting's indirect assist made him a truly loyal official!
"It seems Du Chengfeng is still recognized by his colleagues," Secretary Shen looked around, "Are there any other opinions?"
At this moment, Provincial Governor Gao could only think of a way to see if he could drag this matter out.
At this time, Bai Hansong walked in from outside, leaned into Secretary Shen's ear, and whispered a few words.
Secretary Shen's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Zhou Chengwu, "Just now, the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office received a call from Liang Pingfan. He admitted that he was instigated by someone to report Du Chengfeng!"
Upon hearing this.
A look of surprise appeared on everyone's faces.
"Liang Pingfan suddenly withdrew his report; is there something wrong with that?" Provincial Governor Gao questioned.
The implication of his words was whether Liang Pingfan had been coerced.
Secretary Shen glanced at Bai Hansong, "Secretary Bai, briefly explain the current situation."
Bai Hansong took out a piece of paper and said softly, "This is an apology letter written in Liang Pingfan's own hand."
Secretary Shen took it into his hands, scanned it once, and read it aloud.
"I must apologize to Comrade Du Chengfeng.
Several days ago, I received a text message claiming that my granddaughter had signed for a huge debt due to gambling.
If I did not want my granddaughter's private photos to be leaked, I had to cooperate with them to do one thing.
In order to protect my granddaughter's reputation, I did something against my conscience, which was to bring up the National Highway 301 construction accident again.
In this matter, I was wrong.
But, if I had not done so, my granddaughter's innocence would have been lost.
Additionally, I want to thank Comrade Du Chengfeng.
My granddaughter has already been rescued, and those bad people who lured her into gambling and forced her to take on usury have also been brought to justice..."
Secretary Shen handed this apology letter to Provincial Governor Gao.
After Provincial Governor Gao finished reading it, he knew the situation was settled, and his expression became exceptionally serious.
After everyone finished reading, Secretary Shen took off his glasses and clasped his hands together.
"Regarding the candidate for the Hanzhou Municipal Organization Department Minister, I believe we must fully respect the opinion of Comrade Zhou Chengwu! Let this matter end here!"
Provincial Governor Gao did not speak again.
New evidence supporting Du Chengfeng kept appearing!
Clearly!
Zhou Chengwu had come prepared.
For him to continue insisting would have no meaning anymore...
Leaving the Provincial Party Committee Compound.
Zhou Chengwu dialed Du Chengfeng's phone number.
"The meeting is over, it went very smoothly; you must prepare yourself to shoulder the heavy responsibility!"
Du Chengfeng thanked him, "Thank you, Secretary Zhou, you have worked hard!"
Zhou Chengwu smiled, "We cannot deny the contribution of little Tang! His return this time was very timely!"
