Chapter 3347

Wei Ziming thought this way because he had been relatively close to Liu Qirui over the past year; these were two weak people huddling together for warmth. If they didn't do this, they would have no way to confront Zhao Yichen at all. Wei Ziming thought, could it be because of this that Zhao Yichen was about to take action?

The atmosphere in the small conference room was unusually oppressive. After nearly ten minutes, Zhao Yichen's words broke the silence: "What opinions does everyone have?"

Seeing that both Wei Ziming and Liu Qirui were silent, Tang Wenyao spoke up: "Secretary Zhao, I think this matter is very serious. I suggest immediately taking 'Shuanggui' measures against Liu Zhaoyun and launching an investigation into him."

Gu Aimin also nodded and said, "I have the same opinion."

Zhao Yichen nodded slightly and looked at Liu Qirui again. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, making Liu Qirui feel a chill all over. He had no choice but to speak: "I agree with the opinions of Secretary Tang and Secretary Gu."

Liu Qirui had no choice but to agree. This confession had detailed evidence, even writing clearly which day Liu Zhaoyun received the money, where he received it, and how much he received each time. What reason did he have to oppose it? If he were to oppose it, others might even suspect that he was also involved.

In all honesty, there were not many economic dealings between Liu Qirui and Liu Zhaoyun. He only promoted him because Liu Zhaoyun was from the same village, and Liu Zhaoyun did indeed have some ability and was professionally trained in construction. Now that he had run into such a matter, Liu Qirui was also somewhat surprised.

Seeing that Liu Qirui also agreed, it would be useless for Wei Ziming to oppose it even if he wanted to. Moreover, he had no reason to oppose it, so he also agreed.

Everyone at the Secretary's Office Meeting agreed with one voice to take "Shuanggui" measures against Liu Zhaoyun, and the Standing Committee had even fewer questions. Everyone passed the proposal to take "Shuanggui" measures against Liu Zhaoyun by a unanimous vote.

After the Standing Committee ended, Tang Wenyao immediately sent people to the Urban Construction Committee to take "Shuanggui" measures against Liu Zhaoyun. When Liu Zhaoyun saw several Discipline Inspection Commission cadres arrive at his office and announce that he was to confess his problems at a specified time and place, he immediately collapsed in his seat.

When those Discipline Inspection Commission cadres stepped forward to take coercive measures against Liu Zhaoyun, they smelled a foul odor. It turned out that Liu Zhaoyun had been so scared that he had lost control of his bowels. They looked at him with disdain and, enduring the stench, took Liu Zhaoyun away.

After Liu Zhaoyun was taken down, Zhao Yichen did not expand the case too much, but controlled it within the Urban Construction Committee, and did not expand it to Liu Qirui and Wei Ziming. This was of course to stabilize the internal political situation of Baozhou City. If he blindly expanded it, it would be disadvantageous to him instead.

Although this was the case, several middle-level cadres within the Urban Construction Committee still fell along with Liu Zhaoyun. In this way, in just over a year, several directors and deputy directors of the Urban Construction Committee had fallen, and countless middle-level cadres had fallen.

The Urban Construction Committee had become a disaster area for corruption in Baozhou City. This was also very normal, because the Urban Construction Committee managed real estate and construction engineering projects, dealt with large sums of money, and held very great power. There was no telling how many people wanted to get benefits from their hands.

Facing such great temptation, it was understandable that they could not resist it. However, being understandable did not mean it could be forgiven. Su Xinghui hoped that this incident could deter the next person who succeeded as the Director of the Urban Construction Committee, and could also deter the cadres of the Urban Construction Committee.

Soon, the candidate to succeed Liu Zhaoyun as the Director of the Urban Construction Committee was selected. He was the former Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, Yao Zhi.

Yao Zhi was forty-three years old this year. He was able to get this opportunity also because of his integrity.

Yao Zhi had always worked in the Environmental Protection Bureau. He stood out during the investigation into the pollution of the mines and was favored by Su Xinghui. In that action investigating the pollution of the mines, Yao Zhi performed very well. He showed no mercy to those mine owners and even rejected their repeated temptations.

Su Xinghui saw all of this. In the following two years, Yao Zhi was promoted to the Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. In the position of Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, his performance was very outstanding. The fact that Baozhou City's environmental protection work had been done so well in these two years was inseparable from his hard work and good integrity.

The current Urban Construction Committee needed such a person with integrity and ability to take the helm; otherwise, it would be very difficult for the Urban Construction Committee to return to the right track.

For the current Baozhou City, the Urban Construction Committee was also a very important department. It managed the city's urban construction work, and how important urban construction work was to Baozhou City was self-evident.

Yao Zhi being selected was not Su Xinghui's recommendation, but benefited from the new cadre assessment system. In terms of scores, Yao Zhi was very high, especially in terms of integrity, where his performance was very prominent, which earned him the unanimous recognition of the Standing Committee.
