Among those who support Ye Ming, Lu Cheng is at the deputy department level, the highest level. Although it is Deputy Director Wang who is in charge of the helm and the person who makes the ideas, everyone respects Lu Cheng and feels that he dares to speak up and criticize Zhou Ji. What is clear is that he is a man of integrity and character who dares to compete with Yan Lian. In addition, he has the highest rank, so he has established prestige among these five people and has become the core of these five people.
Now, when Deputy Director Wang and others saw that he was stirring up trouble again and announced that he would withdraw from the task force, they stood up with him and followed him out of the conference room. Although they did not propose to withdraw from the task force, Yan Lian saw their posture and knew that they would definitely advance and retreat with Lu Cheng. He was so angry that his face was livid. Although Secretary Zhou had just said that he would find a way to kick Lu Cheng, Deputy Director Wang and others out of the task force tomorrow. In addition, some obedient people were hired to continue investigating the case. However, now that Lu Cheng and others announced that they would withdraw from the task force, he felt embarrassed and felt that his authority had been despised and challenged.
Therefore, after seeing Lu Cheng and others exiting the venue one after another, his face turned the color of pig liver due to extreme annoyance, but he had no choice but to stand there blankly, saying "Huhu" He was breathing heavily and kept saying cruel words in his heart: You bastards, you are so rampant now. When this case is settled, if I don't deal with you one by one, I will be the one who gave birth to you...
After Lu Cheng and others left the conference room, several people went to the room where Deputy Director Wang and Deputy Director Liang lived to discuss the next step.
Deputy Director Wang was a little puzzled and worried about Lu Cheng's sudden resignation from the task force. After returning to the room, he said in a worried tone: "Old Lu, you just got so angry that you expelled yourself from the task force. This just happened to fall into their trap. I think their purpose is to squeeze us out of the task force, and then put in those losers who listen to them. In that case, Director Ye's situation will be even more difficult. The risk is also greater. After all, if we stay in the task force, we can still take care of him, prevent others from interrogating him, and prevent others from framing him. Moreover, at the appropriate time, we can argue with reason. Help him clear away some charges. Now if we withdraw from the task force collectively, Director Ye will become a persimmon in their hands. They can squeeze it as much as they want. Wouldn't that be harming him?"
Although Lu Cheng has a bad temper, he is not a reckless man without any scheming. He just suddenly announced his withdrawal from the task force. It was not impulsive. In fact, he had already thought about it.
Therefore, after hearing Deputy Director Wang's doubts, he took a breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Director Wang, brothers, we are in the same trench now, so we should We trust each other, so I’ll just say some things directly,”
Having said this, he glanced sideways at the closed door, lowered his voice, and said word by word: "Everyone knows very well: we are now at the center of a storm vortex, and this storm, The origin is in Xinlang, but the real center of the whirlpool is in the Provincial Party Committee, among several senior leaders. In this storm, we are just boatmen drifting with the wind, and we can only choose the direction of the wind based on our own judgment. , choose which side to move closer to, and now that we have made our own choice, the rest is not something we can decide or control. Even if we stay in the task force, we will be powerless and unable to help Ye Ming. , because you have all seen: in this case, our task force is just a cover, just a decoration. It actually serves some people with ulterior motives. The purpose of setting up this task force is to dig out Gong Zhichao and Ye Ming. The so-called protective umbrella behind him is actually Secretary Lee Yoon-ki.
"Therefore, under such a situation, when the task force has been completely controlled by certain people, those of us who want to help Ye Ming have actually been completely sidelined and have no right to speak or make suggestions at all, and , if my estimate is correct, after the debate at the first meeting tonight, Secretary Zhou will definitely think of kicking us out of the task force after receiving Yan Lian's report, so that they can frame Ye Ming. ,So, whether we propose to withdraw from the task force or not, we will eventually be kicked out by them.
"Instead of doing this, we might as well put forward our own request to withdraw from the task force. In this case, although we have to bear certain risks, we are also likely to suffer retaliation from Zhou Jiqing, Yan Lian and others, but since we have chosen to stand On Secretary Li's side, we must have our own attitude and resolutely fight against Yan Lian and others. Our voluntary withdrawal from the task force is actually a statement, which is to declare a complete break with Zhou Jiqing and others.
"Of course, this is very risky. We are likely to be retaliated against tomorrow, and we may even be accused of some crime by Zhou Jiqing, Xie Hongda and others, and be removed from office. However, since we have taken this gamble, , don’t worry about gains and losses, we must have confidence in our hearts and believe that Secretary Li Runji’s side will win in the end. In that case, even if we are punished and dismissed now, we may make a comeback in the future, and we may even have unexpected gains. , I said this a bit utilitarian, but it is indeed my inner thoughts, and it is also the reason why I advise you to follow me and withdraw from the task force,"
Deputy Director Wang and others all understood: Lu Cheng was leading everyone to play a gambling game. The two parties in this game were the "local faction" headed by Qin Ge and Secretary Lu Zhiyao. The "emerging faction" headed by the two parties is now fighting Secretary Li Runji. The stakes for all officials who participate in this gamble are their official title, future and destiny. Lu Cheng is now betting all Bet on Secretary Li Runji's side: If Secretary Li wins this game, then those of them who stood on his side at the critical moment can get dividends and win the favor of Secretary Li or even Secretary Lu. The future will be bright in the future; on the other hand, if Secretary Li falls, Secretary Lu's side will be severely weakened, and the "local faction" will firmly control the power of Tianjiang Province. Then, those of them who have bet their money on Those on Secretary Li's side will definitely be mercilessly attacked. Removal from office is a frivolous matter. If not done well, they may be imprisoned...
