After a month, the conclusion of the joint investigation team finally came out: Although the Education Bureau has problems such as high fees for certain projects, irregular financial accounts, and lack of detail and clarity, it has not found any serious violations of disciplines or suspected economic crimes, bribery or acceptance of bribes, etc.
.
The Education Bureau has returned to its former appearance, and everything remains as it should be. Wu Liangde's relationship with Fan Pingyuan, Duan Yonghong, Ruan Peng and others has also become closer. His position has also become more consolidated.
The investigation results proved that there was nothing wrong with Wu Liangde, which meant that there was something wrong with Li Xiaoning, and it was a false accusation. Wu Liangde took the opportunity to talk about how he righteously rejected Yu Xinyun's request to go through the backdoor, and by the way, he mentioned what he had posted on the Internet a while ago.
There is a lot of talk about Li Xiaoning and Yu Xinyun having an affair.
Faced with pressure from all aspects, Liu Qifeng could not speak too much for Li Xiaoning, otherwise it would appear to be too partial. So after a brief discussion, the disciplinary decision on Li Xiaoning was made-suspended for self-reflection, pending further investigation.
This result was because Xue Guoping did not understand the relationship between Li Xiaoning and Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee Secretary Lin Guodong before he accepted the mercy, otherwise he would have been fired directly. Xue Guoping had received the news, and Liu Qifeng had recently won the favor of Secretary Lin.
Liu Qifeng has been publicly praised several times, and some people are even predicting that Liu Qifeng will probably be appointed to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee during the next year's election. Who knows if Li Xiaoning has any credit here? After all, Liu Qifeng "takes care" of Li Xiaoning so much.
It's obvious to all.
But no matter what, Li Xiaoning must be punished, otherwise he will lose face in front of Liu Qifeng. He wants to firmly control Binhai City in his hands, and he must not let Liu Qifeng's prestige, reputation and political achievements surpass his own
.
When Mao Qiushi announced the organizational punishment for Li Xiaoning, and after Li Xiaoning simply packed up and left the office, Bai Yadan took the lead and said: "Humph. I knew he would be where he is today. Look at how he usually behaves, believing that he has academic qualifications and knowledge.
, you look like you don’t take anyone seriously, that’s right!”
Wu Bo said with a deep look: "Yes, I have told him before that we should be flexible at work and not be stubborn, but he just doesn't listen. Alas, he is still too young!"
Wang Aimin was still holding a small book and writing and drawing as usual, without even raising his head, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Xiaoning is still a talented kid. I have read what he wrote, and it is considered literary and thoughtful."
Being agile, familiar with scriptures, often using allusions and fashionable nouns when writing materials, and being able to put forward new ideas, new ideas, and new insights are considered talents. However, if you have a strong personality and lack of sophistication, if you want to be a reporter or editor
Maybe it’s true, if you want to get involved in the officialdom, you must at least go through some experience.”
Kong Xiangrong didn't say anything. He stood up and left the office silently. Then he called Li Xiaoning, "Xiaoning, I made a reservation at the State Banquet Pier tonight. Let's have a drink together?"
Li Xiaoning didn't expect that Kong Xiangrong, who had always been snobbish, would not end the relationship with him at this time, but took the initiative to invite him to drink. His heart suddenly became hot and he said: "It's okay to drink together, but don't go to the state banquet pier. I invite you to go."
How about eating at a food stall? Do you dislike it?"
"Okay. You have the final say." Kong Xiangrong answered very neatly.
After work, Kong Xiangrong didn't drive, but went out to take a taxi with Li Xiaoning. Under Li Xiaoning's command, the taxi twisted around and stopped in front of a messy night market food stall.
This is an old residential area. The buildings were built in the last century. The exterior walls are covered with mosaics in the color of salted duck eggs, which looks very nostalgic. The original residents have moved away long ago, and now it has become a gathering place for the foreign population.
Downstairs, there is a small iron processing workshop and wind cannon tire repair shop. There are several small shops selling fake cigarettes, wine and sex products. In the evening, they set up food stalls to cook vegetables, grill skewers, and forty kilograms of barreled beer steaks.
It's so dense and smoky that no one cares about it.
Li Xiaoning took Kong Xiangrong to a white plastic round table on the roadside and sat down.
Kong Xiangrong looked at it helplessly, then took out a paper towel and wiped the chair vigorously. After sitting down, he wiped the tabletop in front of him with a paper towel again and again. Then he took out a small pack of new paper towels and shouted at Li Xiaoning
Asked: "Do you want it?"
Li Xiaoning laughed and said, "No need."
The lady boss of the food stall came over and asked, "What do you want to order?"
Li Xiaoning said skillfully: "Let's get ten pork belly, pork tendon, and tendon. Plate peanuts on the plate, and pat a cucumber. When you're done, pour the wine. Let's make two pricks first."
Peanuts and cucumbers were quickly delivered, as were two three-pound bottles of real beer and two glass cups. Li Xiaoning filled the cups and said, "Drink one first."
After saying that, he raised his neck and finished the drink with a bang.
Kong Xiangrong took out a paper towel and wiped the glass violently, then poured the beer in and drained it. He grinned and said, "Why does this wine taste so weird?"
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "It's just watered down. But let me tell you, the wine here is quite good, and the water added is relatively small. Come on, let's go one more." After saying that, he raised his neck and came again.
The bottom of the cup is turned upward.
"Damn it, I'm really impressed by you." Kong Xiangrong smiled bitterly, "You know it's fake wine, but you still drink so much, so you're not afraid of getting upset?" After all, he still drank another drink with her.
"This is the best way to drink." Li Xiaoning picked up the disposable chopsticks, opened them and handed them to Kong Xiangrong, "It's not satisfying at all to hold a glass of red wine and sip it like you did." After that, he filled the glass again, "Then
Three." He raised his neck and did it again.
Kong Xiangrong quickly apologized and said, "Brother, you are my biological brother. Let's take it easy, okay? Well, I haven't even eaten a bite of food yet, but I drank a pound of wine first. I can't stand it."
"Then let's slow down and eat the vegetables." Li Xiaoning picked up the skewers and handed them to Kong Xiangrong as if nothing had happened.
Kong Xiangrong still had the guts to finish the third glass of wine, and then said: "Xiao Ning, I know you feel uncomfortable, but suspension does not mean dismissal. Don't drink to drown your sorrows."
"You underestimate me too much. Do I still care about such a trivial matter?" Li Xiaoning laughed and said, "Besides, if I want to drink to drown my sorrows, will I only need this little drink?"
Kong Xiangrong said: "As for you, I really admire you. But I'm not telling you, you are just too straight-tempered."
Li Xiaoning put a peanut into his mouth and said: "When did being straight-tempered become a shortcoming? Chairman Mao also taught us to learn from Comrade Lei Feng's class stance of clear love and hate."
Kong Xiangrong sighed and said: "I didn't say that being straight-tempered is a shortcoming. But I said that you will suffer a disadvantage in the officialdom. I know that you can't stand a lot of things, and I can't stand it either, but you can't stand it.
How about it? There are many things, many phenomena, many people, don’t say you can’t control it, I can’t control it, no matter how big an official is, it can’t control it. What can Secretary Liu do? There is no other way. In the end, even you can’t save it.
.Do you think you are the only one who knows about Wu Liangde’s corruption, bribery, and misdeeds? Everyone knows it, but they are just pretending not to know. The current environment is like this. There are too many corruptions in the officialdom, the law does not punish everyone, and officials protect each other. This has been the case since ancient times!"
Li Xiaoning sneered and said, "Then as you say, just leave these corrupt officials alone?"
Kong Xiangrong said: "It's not that we don't care, it's that we can't!"
Li Xiaoning glared at Kong Xiangrong and said, "You are evading responsibility and colluding with others!"
"I'm not joining the crowd." Kong Xiangrong said with a smile, "I'm good at blending into the environment. You've also read a lot of poetry and books, so why don't you understand? The water in Canglang is clear, and you can hold my tassel on it; the water in Canglang is turbid.
Come, you can wash my feet."
Li Xiaoning sighed and said: "Maybe you are right. You know? I was suspended. I am not sad at all. I am cold-hearted. I am cold-hearted towards Secretary Liu. I did not expect him to give in so easily.
Can’t he see that there is something wrong with Wu Liangde?”
Kong Xiangrong took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said: "That's because you haven't been in his position and don't understand his difficulties. There is a saying that goes, 'If you are not deaf or blind, you cannot be the leader of the family.' What does it mean? That is to say
A leader who manages a group or a unit must be tolerant and nurturing, and turn a blind eye to certain problems. Otherwise, not only will he be tired of his life, but he will also offend others. Then the leader can also make you
Don’t you understand such a simple truth: ‘When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are careful, there will be no disciples’?”
"I understand what you are saying, but I think these are two different things." Li Xiaoning drank the wine and said, "Leaders can be confused about small things, but they must not be confused about big things. Wu Liangde took bribes and played with women. This is a serious violation of party discipline and state law.
,How can you turn a blind eye to such a thing?"
Kong Xiangrong shook his head and said: "Brother, why haven't you understood? It's not that Secretary Liu doesn't want to deal with Wu Liangde. If he doesn't want to deal with Wu Liangde, why bother making such a big fuss? He can't handle it. Don't look at him in name only.
But the leaders of each unit are basically subordinates of the person in the government. If you think about it, the joint investigation team composed of the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Organization Department, the Municipal Party Committee Office and the Municipal Government Office could not find out the problem. Secretary Liu, he
What else can be done? This shows that if you want to investigate Wu Liangde, you can't do it with the power of Binhai City alone. This is like using an ax to chop your own handle, and your left hand is supervising your right hand. How can the ax chop your own handle? The left hand can
Controlling your right hand?"
"Then what do you think we should do next?" Li Xiaoning asked with a frown.
Kong Xiangrong shook his head and said, "Don't think about Wu Liangde anymore. Unless someone from the province comes to check on him, you can't touch him. You don't have anyone in the province, and you can't even hire someone from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"Hey. Isn't your uncle a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee?" Li Xiaoning's eyes lit up when he heard this, "How about asking him to help?"
"Quickly pull him down!" Kong Xiangrong shook his head repeatedly and said, "My uncle believes in moderation and never does anything that offends others."
"It seems I can only rely on myself." Li Xiaoning clenched his fists hard.
