Su Xinghui said, "First of all, I must make a self-criticism to the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, because the Radio and Television Bureau is a unit under my charge. Now that this kind of thing has happened, I must bear the leadership responsibility. I ask the leaders to criticize me."

Speaking of which, Su Xinghui did indeed bear leadership responsibility, but if the Vice Mayor in charge had to be held responsible for such matters, he would not know how many criticisms and punishments he would have to endure every year.

Wei Ziming said, "Comrade Xinghui, this cannot be blamed on you. How long have you been here? Not even half a year. Besides, you had already reminded Wen Juncheng to rectify the loopholes in management, and he did not listen to you, so this responsibility does not fall on you; it is mainly Wen Juncheng's responsibility."

Ever since the downfall of Miao Leshan, these leaders in Baozhou City had all been very polite to Su Xinghui, one could even say they were somewhat fawning. This was, of course, because they themselves were not entirely upright, which was why they feared Su Xinghui's background, and Wei Ziming was no exception.

Hearing Su Xinghui's self-criticism, he spoke to excuse him; this was also a form of fawning.

Since Wei Ziming had said so, others followed suit.

Su Xinghui continued, "The parties involved should, of course, be severely punished. I suggest that in addition to dismissal, they should also be punished in accordance with the Public Security Administration Regulations."

There was nothing to be said about this point; those two guys had caused too much trouble, and everyone hated them to the core. No one spoke up for them, and this kind of punishment was very appropriate. Watching pornographic videos should naturally be punished according to the Public Security Administration Regulations, so it was decided.

Su Xinghui said, "As for the relevant leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau and the television station, I think they all need to bear corresponding responsibilities. Their main leaders are no longer suitable to stay in their current positions, and others should also be punished accordingly."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Su Xinghui intended to remove both Wen Juncheng and Station Chief Zhang. In fact, Wen Juncheng was quite good at handling people; he usually maintained good relations with municipal leaders. Everyone had the heart to say a few words for him, but they didn't know where to start, and in front of Su Xinghui, they dared not speak even more.

Since such a broadcast accident had occurred, someone had to take responsibility for it; otherwise, the influence could not be reversed, and public anger could not be calmed. Therefore, it was relatively appropriate for Wen Juncheng and the others to bear the responsibility.

Shi Fengnian then looked at Teng Yue and asked, "Comrade Teng Yue, what is your opinion?"

Teng Yue sighed in his heart. It seemed that Wen Juncheng's position could not be saved. In consideration of his gifts, he would try to ensure he was not investigated by the organization.

Teng Yue said, "I support Mayor Su's opinion. How about this: transfer Bureau Chief Wen away and demote him. Others should also be punished accordingly. In addition, on this issue, I should also bear some leadership responsibility. I also want to make a self-criticism to the Municipal Party Committee and ask the Municipal Party Committee for punishment."

Shi Fengnian said, "Punishment is unnecessary; your oral self-criticism is enough. Do other comrades have any opinions on the handling of the Radio and Television Bureau and the television station?"

Everyone had no opinions, so the handling opinion for Wen Juncheng and others was decided just like that.

The Standing Committee meeting then discussed who would succeed Wen Juncheng. The position of Radio and Television Bureau Chief was considered a lucrative post. Now that Wen Juncheng's transfer was a foregone conclusion, everyone began to rack their brains, wanting to get a share of the benefits from this matter.

Unexpectedly, Municipal Party Secretary Shi Fengnian asked for Su Xinghui's opinion: "Comrade Xinghui, the Radio and Television Bureau is under your charge. Do you have any suitable candidates to succeed as the Radio and Television Bureau Chief?"

The Radio and Television Bureau was a department under Su Xinghui's charge. Logically speaking, Su Xinghui should indeed have a relatively large say in the candidate for the Radio and Television Bureau Chief. However, he was not even a Standing Committee member, and judging by Shi Fengnian's usual style, he generally decided on candidates directly, and others dared not compete with him. Now that he actually asked for Su Xinghui's opinion, it was truly unexpected.

Everyone looked at Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui was also somewhat surprised, but since Shi Fengnian asked him to recommend a candidate, he thought of some cadres he had taken a fancy to while conducting research at the grassroots level. Now was the perfect time to push them to the forefront.

Su Xinghui said, "I recommend Comrade Shi Chenguang, Deputy Chief of the Culture Bureau, to succeed as the Radio and Television Bureau Chief. The position of Radio and Television Bureau Chief is very important; it requires a comrade with strong Party spirit, high cultural level, principles, and ability to hold it, and Comrade Shi Chenguang fully meets the above standards."

Shi Chenguang was a Deputy Chief of the Culture Bureau, ranking relatively low, but he was young and a genuine university graduate from Yanbei University. He was quite good in terms of professional ability and personal integrity, and he was also quite honest. This was a talent Su Xinghui had taken a fancy to. At this moment, he took advantage of Shi Fengnian's words to push Shi Chenguang out.

Shi Fengnian letting Su Xinghui recommend a candidate was naturally also to show favor to Su Xinghui. Now, the Miao Leshan case had not yet been closed. Although Shi Fengnian had found many connections, he still felt uneasy in his heart. He wanted to improve his relationship with Su Xinghui, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. This was a good opportunity.

By letting Su Xinghui recommend a candidate for the Radio and Television Bureau Chief, he should know his goodwill, right? After that, by getting closer to Su Xinghui, he hoped that the Miao Leshan case would no longer be dug deeper, allowing Shi Fengnian to spend this last year or so in peace. He would be satisfied if he could safely retire to the second line.

If this goal could be achieved, what was the position of a Radio and Television Bureau Chief?

After hearing Su Xinghui's words, Shi Fengnian looked at Organization Department Head Lin Huaxuan and said, "Comrade Huaxuan, are you familiar with Comrade Shi Chenguang's situation?"

Lin Huaxuan was Shi Fengnian's man, so he naturally understood Shi Fengnian's thoughts. He said, "Comrade Shi Chenguang graduated from Yanbei University and joined the Party while in school. He has been a Party member for nearly twenty years. Comrade Shi Chenguang has strong Party spirit, adheres to principles, has high standards, and has ability. I think he is very suitable for the position of Radio and Television Bureau Chief."

Shi Fengnian nodded and said, "Comrade Huaxuan is the most familiar with cadres. Since Comrade Huaxuan thinks he is good, he must be right. Do other comrades have any opinions?"

Since Shi Fengnian had said so, what other opinions could others have? Naturally, they all agreed.

Shi Fengnian did the favor to the end and simply asked if Su Xinghui had any candidates to recommend for the position of Deputy Chief of the Culture Bureau. However, this time Su Xinghui would not recommend anyone else. He also knew that one should not do things too absolutely. He had eaten the meat, so he had to let others have some soup; otherwise, everyone would be dissatisfied with him.

Therefore, he said he wanted to hear the opinions of other comrades. Only then did Shi Fengnian stop. Others scrambled for the position of Deputy Chief of the Culture Bureau and other positions vacated by the chain reaction. In the end, basically everyone gained something, and everyone was relatively satisfied.

The handling opinion for this matter was thus decided. Wen Juncheng was transferred to the Local Chronicles Office and served as a Deputy Director. His rank was still at the department level, but he was demoted and received a warning punishment within the Party. Under Teng Yue's mediation, he was at least not investigated further.

However, for Wen Juncheng, this was equivalent to falling from heaven to earth. It used to be so pleasant at the Radio and Television Bureau; the bureau had money and many beautiful women. But the Local Chronicles Office only had two or three kittens, and there were two women who were not younger than him; they were both middle-aged women with bloated figures.

The wall plaster of his office was peeling off, and the desk and chair he sat at were the old-fashioned ones from twenty years ago. He had sat at a large executive desk and chair at the Radio and Television Bureau; the contrast was too great.

The Local Chronicles Office didn't have much funding in a year, and this little funding was tightly held by the main director, not leaking out at all. This was also very normal; the less money there was, the more fiercely they fought, of course. Wen Juncheng even found it difficult to reimburse a meal expense.

Wen Juncheng knew that his demotion this time was strongly advocated by Su Xinghui. He naturally hated Su Xinghui to the bone, but now, with his ability, he didn't even need to think about revenge. He didn't even dare to curse a few words verbally. If someone heard him cursing Su Xinghui and it reached Su Xinghui's ears, wouldn't Su Xinghui dealing with him be like crushing an ant?

Wen Juncheng at least had some old foundations. Although there was no profit in the Local Chronicles Office, he was not destitute. It was just that there were no beautiful women, which made him somewhat unhappy.

One day, he thought of Ling Shanshan, and his heart itched. He called Ling Shanshan and asked her to open a room at a hotel. But who knew, Ling Shanshan answered the phone, heard his request, and directly said "I'm busy" before hanging up.

This made Wen Juncheng furious. When he was the Bureau Chief, wanting to play with Ling Shanshan was just a matter of a word, right? He didn't even need to open a room; he could just do it in the office. But now, he was a phoenix with plucked feathers, not as good as a chicken. Ling Shanshan even dared to treat him with such an attitude.

However, no matter how angry Wen Juncheng was, he was powerless. Now Ling Shanshan was not under his management, so what could he do to her?

Wen Juncheng could only grit his teeth in that simple office of the Local Chronicles Office every day, cursing Su Xinghui and Ling Shanshan and others in his heart. He swore that as long as he caught an opportunity, he would definitely take revenge on these two people. ===== CHAPTER 2948 =====
