The Standing Committee of the Renqing Municipal Party Committee is being held. The province has just issued a notice to temporarily preside over the work of the Renqing Municipal Party Committee. This notice has made many people's minds active. After all, there has been no secretary of the municipal party committee for several months. Everyone thought that the mayor Lu Rui was going to take office. Unexpectedly, the notice from the province actually asked Mayor Lu to temporarily preside over the work of the Municipal Party Committee, which means that there may be other changes. It seems that the throne of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary may not necessarily be the one who will sit on.

Lu Rui had no idea about this. He knew very well that time was his biggest weakness. I am afraid that the province has been dragging the candidate for the municipal party secretary. This is also because of this reason. If he became the municipal party secretary at the age of 30, many people would be dissatisfied.

The Standing Committee was held in the conference room of the Municipal Party Committee. Lu Rui sat in the middle, beside him was Du Zhenhai, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Zhengye, executive vice mayor, and other members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Except for the commander of the Military Sub-district Ma Yiming, who went to the provincial capital for a meeting, everyone else attended the meeting.

Lu Rui coughed and slowly said to everyone: "The topic of today's meeting is about Sifang Entertainment Brokerage Company's suspected fraud in the organization of our Renqing New Year's Day Gala. Vice Mayor Zhou, please explain it to everyone."

This matter was reported to the city by Propaganda Minister Liu Minjie. The excuse was very simple. If such a big thing happened, one million yuan of funds was swept away. The Propaganda Department would not bear this responsibility. You can explain the brokerage company that Zhou Zhengye attracted to you to the municipal party committee.

Zhou Zhengye's face was gloomy. After holding the document and reading it for a few words, Lu Rui had already put down the teacup and said calmly: "Explanation is to cover up. Don't explain too much. We have read the report on the whole matter. I want to ask Deputy Mayor Zhou, what are the aftermath measures you have!"

Du Zhenhai frowned, but did not speak what he wanted to say at this time.

Zhou Zhengye was stunned for a moment and then secretly felt very grateful. Lu Rui said so without hesitation, but he was actually protecting himself and not giving others the opportunity to play. After all, he is now in charge of the work of the municipal party committee. Since he has set a tone and not stakes himself, it is hard for others to say anything. Zhou Zhengye has been secretly observing Lu Rui's expression since the Standing Committee started. The young mayor seemed to be quiet and kept drinking tea, but after the Standing Committee started, he gave himself a surprise. He just didn't know whether Mayor Lu would break up with him for the sake of himself...

After lit a cigarette, Du Zhenhai watched Lu Rui's words just now. He knew very well that Lu Rui was not that easy to admit defeat. Although he set some obstacles for him in the Standing Committee, Lu Rui was not hurt, and even had no counterattack. This made Du Zhenhai very puzzled. Looking at Lu Rui's expression with a faint smile on his face, he seemed to have missed something.

When Lu Rui said that, Du Zhenhai knew that Lu Rui probably wanted to protect Zhou Zhengye.

Sure enough, Lu Rui continued with a serious expression: "A whole million of funds have been swept away, which is also a considerable amount for our Renqing."

Looking at Zhang Qingbin, the director of the Finance Bureau who attended the meeting, Lu Rui asked: "Comrade Qingbin, one million is gone, do you feel sorry for you?"

Zhang Qingbin smiled bitterly, nodded but said nothing. Since this matter has already involved the game in the city, it is not something he, the Finance Director, can consider, although he is indeed very distressed about that one million.

Lu Rui turned his attention to Zhou Zhengye again: "Tell me, how to deal with this matter."

Zhou Zhengye made a speech according to the draft he had already figured out, which was nothing more than contacting the police in the capital, and he must bring the scammers to justice, etc.

Unexpectedly, Lu Rui interrupted him again and said, "This is not enough for the Department of Culture. This fraud company is a deputy director of the Provincial Department of Culture that you know, right? I suspect that the deputy director has something to do with this case!" He looked up and said, "Secretary Cheng, you have to communicate with the province on the side of the public security and political and legal affairs to see if the deputy director is summoned to investigate!"

Cheng Chunen hesitated for a moment and said, "This, isn't this good?"

Lu Rui sneered and said, "For such a huge loss, why can't we ask him if he introduced him?" His words came from the heart. Lu Rui gritted his teeth for the introducer. One million is not a small amount, especially at this critical moment, Renqing City also had such a scandal. How could Lu Rui not be angry? This is already Lu Rui was restraining himself. Before he took the throne of the secretary of the listing party committee, he could not show his edge. Otherwise, if he followed his temper, he would now take people to Hai'an, the deputy director of the Cultural Department to settle the score.

Seeing this, Cheng Chunen could only nod helplessly. After all, Lu Rui is now the person in charge of the work of the municipal party committee, and he must respect Lu Rui's opinions.

From beginning to end, no one of the cadres of Lu Rui, including Zhu Yunwen, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Guo Zhengtong, spoke and expressed their opinions. Because everyone didn't know what Mayor Lu was thinking, Lu Rui did not communicate with them on this matter in advance, so everyone just lowered their heads and took notes, took occasional sip of water, and no one spoke.

Lu Rui picked up the teacup and took a few sips. It was obvious that he was really angry and put down the teacup. He said to Zhou Zhengye: "In addition, you can put the work of the New Year's Day party for a while, and then hand it over to the city station for yourself. Minister Liu, your propaganda department will follow up on this matter more. Deputy Mayor Zhou, you must learn from this lesson. It is a good thing to be enthusiastic about work, but you are not familiar with and treat it with caution. It is easy to make mistakes!"

Zhou Zhengye was slightly stunned when he heard Lu Rui's words. He had thought about this New Year's Day party. He worked hard to attract sponsorship and was busy all day and night. He even dreamed about the scene of this party recently. Now, all his efforts are gone.

However, he also knew that Mayor Lu was protecting himself. If he waited until Du Zhenhai spoke, he would definitely hold him accountable. After all, the matter was nominally responsible for the Propaganda Department, but in fact, he, the executive vice mayor, was dominant.

Nodding with a wry smile, Zhou Zhengye said: "I understand, mayor."

Although Minister of Propaganda Liu Minjie didn't know what Lu Rui meant, he nodded and said, "We will implement the mayor's instructions."

Lu Rui nodded expressionlessly and said to Du Zhenhai, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and said, "Secretary Zhenhai, what do you think?"

In an instant, the eyes of the entire conference room were betting on Du Zhenhai's face. Du Zhenhai smiled softly and said lightly: "Mayor, I don't think this matter can be forgotten like this. That's one million. The entire one million funds were taken away. Do we need to consider accountability?"

Accountability!

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became a little nervous. Everyone's eyes suddenly became vigilant, and their respective eyes were all on the two giants of the municipal party committee. Whether it was the Lu Rui or Du Zhenhai group, they all knew very well that this sentence was very likely the turning point of the Standing Committee today.

As if the tension before the War of the Century, there was a silence and speechless atmosphere in the conference room. People who experienced this situation for the first time even felt about to suffocate. For example, Zhang Qingbin, the director of the Finance Bureau, had heard that Mayor Lu had a strong aura before. Unexpectedly, Mayor Lu was still so strong when facing the famous local faction Du Laoer. Everyone knew that the power of both the Lu faction and the Du faction were waiting for the leader of his own faction to speak. Once Lu Rui or Du Zhenhai expressed his clear opinions, today's Standing Committee would inevitably be the beginning of a war.

Zhou Zhengye sat there silently. At this time, he felt his heart beating violently, and he never knew it. It turned out that people were so nervous that they would really feel weak. I heard that some people were soft at critical moments, and I thought it was just a joke, but today he experienced this feeling personally. At this time, he was like a small boat that could overturn in the stormy waves anytime and anywhere, just an insignificant chess piece. The game between Lu Rui and Du Zhenhai seemed to be about to unfold on himself. If it really came to critical moments, would Mayor Lu hesitate to abandon him? This is the thing that worries Zhou Zhengye the most. You must know that Lu Rui and he is not from the same faction and he has not leaned against each other. Will the other party really do anything for him?

In his heart, Zhou Zhengye has always hoped that the city would maintain a balanced situation in which Lu Rui and Du Zhenhai competed for power. After all, he could roam among the two forces to gain some benefits, but now he really hopes that one of these two people can have the advantage, because he is the center of the collision of the two forces and may be squeezed and crushed at any time.

Lu Rui didn't say anything, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then put it down.

Zhu Yunwen, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, who kept bowing his head and writing something on his notebook, gently closed the notebook and squeezed out half of his cigarette in the ashtray.

Deputy Mayor Guo Zhengtong raised his head and looked at Lu Rui's face, then lowered his head.

After Du Zhenhai said what he had just said, his expression was very calm, and he blew the tea leaves in his tea cup, which was light and leisurely.

Cheng Chunen, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and Gu Dongfeng, Minister of United Front Work, looked gloating, as if everything was in control.
