The conference room is not big, with two rows of tables and can only accommodate about ten people.
"Director Du, that's not right. It's too small to sit in such a small office." Lin Chuang asked Du Liqiang quietly.
"You think everyone is here? No, there are only some leaders, Lao Mo, Lao Wang, Lao Qian, plus you and me, there are five people in total. There is no need for everyone to come for the discussion." Du Liqiang replied.
Lao Mo, Lao Wang and Lao Qian are the directors of the Department of Industry, Department of Education and Department of Transportation respectively.
"Are they all from the city government?"
"I heard that notices were also sent to several ministries in the national government, but no one came. Brother, to tell you the truth, if I hadn't been working under Mayor Xin, I wouldn't have come to do this kind of thing. Who should I arrest for corruption?
?”
"Director Du, keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."
"I'm just complaining in front of you." Du Liqiang said.
"The Legislative Yuan formulates regulations, and the courts are responsible for their implementation. Why does President Xin want to discuss the implementation status?"
"Who knows, maybe it's the title of the picture. Looking at Dean Xin's eager look, I'm afraid he wants to do something. Be careful not to get into trouble lately."
Du Liqiang said "sincerely".
This person has this kind of ability. What he says always makes people feel sincere, and he always shows consideration for others.
It is easy for such people to make friends, and it is also easy for such people to hang out in official circles.
"Thank you, Director Du, for taking care of me. However, I won't do such things as corruption, which can only make you little money and tarnish your reputation."
"That's right. I forgot that you are a rich man. How can you care about those three melons and two dates?"
Du Liqiang smiled.
The two of them were talking when they suddenly saw Zhu Daoshan, Xin Jiaguang, and Lan Xiangping walking into the conference room together. The two of them quickly sat upright.
"Everyone, today's meeting is convened and chaired by me. In addition to everyone here, I am also honored to invite Vice President Zhu and President Lan." After Xin Jiaguang sat down, he made an opening statement.
“The main purpose of today’s meeting is to discuss the implementation of the Regulations on Ethics in Public Affairs and Integrity.
Dean Wang attaches great importance to this regulation, which is the first regulation after the establishment of the government.
However, I have also heard some people commenting that the government's top priority is to restore people's livelihood and suppress prices, and that it should not engage in a large-scale anti-corruption campaign. If there is no chaos outside, there will be chaos internally, which will make people panic. Who is still willing to serve the government?
I despise this kind of remarks. As everyone knows, to govern a country, you must first govern the officials. If the officials cannot govern clearly, how can we talk about governing the country? If corruption is not eliminated, people's livelihood is restored, and economic revitalization is out of the question.
You all have witnessed the student riots the day before yesterday. It can be said that the impact was very bad and huge.
Students are ignorant, and the instigators behind the scenes are the most hateful. According to preliminary investigations by the Secret Service, this incident was hosted by underground parties behind the scenes, and their purpose was to tarnish the reputation of the new government.
At this critical moment when we are fighting for the public's support and morale, don't we, the public servants, pay attention to our words and deeds? If the government is full of corruption, it will destroy the people's support. This is an act that destroys the foundation of the government.
Therefore, you must not take it lightly, nor listen to his words, but you must set an example and serve as an honest official."
After saying that, Xin Jiaguang looked at Zhu Daoshan: "Next, please give instructions from Vice President Zhu."
"Ahem!" Zhu Daoshan coughed and said, "What Dean Xin said is true, and I completely agree.
Everyone, reading history can tell you clearly that all prosperous times in history must have been governed by officials who were clear and clear, and who were strong without corrupt officials. Therefore, all ministries and commissions in the Executive Yuan must strictly implement the "Ethics Code for Integrity in Public Affairs", and those who violate it will be severely punished in accordance with the law.
I’m here to observe the meeting, so that’s all I’ll say.”
After Zhu Daoshan finished speaking, he straightened up and nodded towards Xin Jiaguang.
Xin Jiaguang took over the conversation and looked at Lan Xiangping: "Dean Lan, could you please say a few words?"
"Okay." Lan Xiangping put his elbows on the table and said seriously: "I have been engaged in legal education for many years, and I know that the implementation of laws and regulations is important in the behavior of department heads. If the head is honest, subordinates will not dare to be corrupt, but if the head is corrupt, then the officials will not be corrupt.
It will work. Therefore, I would like to ask you, how should you do it?"
Having said this, Lan Xiangping looked at Lin Chuang with sharp eyes: "Director Lin, please tell me what you think."
Lin Chuang was not on good terms with Lan Xiangping, so naturally he would not be respectful to him.
Hearing him call his name when he came up, I felt angry. I sat motionless and said expressionlessly: "As the head of the police and tax police bureaus, I naturally set an example and do not dare to be corrupt or bend the law."
"That's good. Director Lin, what should I do if there is any violation?" Lan Xiangping asked next.
"Everyone is equal before the law of the country." Lin Chuangdao.
"Okay, everyone is equal. Director Lin, I admire your statement very much. But are your words and deeds consistent?" Lan Xiangping's tone gradually became unkind.
Zhu Daoshan felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. Why did a good meeting suddenly change?
He looked at Lin Ming suspiciously: "Did Xiao Lin have any leverage that Lao Lan got hold of?"
Lin Chuang did not look at Zhu Daoshan, but stared at Lan Xiangping and asked: "Dean Lan, this is a symposium, not a question meeting. I don't know why you are only looking at Lin?"
"Huh, of course I know this is not a question meeting. But I received a report that Director Lin openly engaged in prostitution and bribery in the office, and the amount was huge. Lan is surprised, how can you still have the nerve to talk so shamelessly here?
Lead by example?" Lan Xiangping snorted coldly.
"Lao Lan, be careful what you say!" Seeing that these words were too serious, Zhu Daoshan reminded him quickly.
"Vice President Zhu, I know that you have a close relationship with Lin Ming. However, he just said that everyone is equal before the law. Do you want to openly cover up such a corrupt man?" Lan Xiangping said generously.
Zhu Daoshan already understood at this time that Xin Jiaguang's meeting was not a symposium, it was clearly a Hongmen Banquet aimed at Lin Chuang.
Inviting himself here was to humiliate him face to face; and inviting the four department directors was even more ulterior, preventing him from speaking openly for Lin Chuang.
"Dean Lan, do you know what you are talking about?" Zhu Daoshan's eyes gradually turned cold and he thought to himself: "Lan Xiangping, Lan Xiangping, you are not on good terms with Lin, but you have a good relationship with me. Can't you see that Xin Jiaguang's
Evil intentions?"
"Vice President Zhu, of course Lan knows what you are talking about. I hold the position of president of the court and I am responsible for my duties. How can I show mercy to lawbreakers?" Lan Xiangping said with an upright face.
"It's so boring! Today's meeting ends here, let's adjourn!"
Zhu Daoshan was very angry. After saying this, he stood up and left.
What he meant was to mess up the matter first and then talk about it.
He knew that Xin Jiaguang and Lan Xiangping would definitely stop him, but as long as Lin Chuang used his words to leave the conference room, it would be difficult for their conspiracy to succeed.
"slow!"
Xin Jiaguang was stunned. He didn't expect that the person who stopped him was actually Lin Chuang.
Zhu Daoshan was very anxious and thought to himself: "Xiao Lin, you are confused, why don't you leave quickly? Do you really want to wait for Lan Xiangping to arrest you?"
