Chapter seven hundred and eighteenth take the initiative to retire
In Xu Lizhong's impression, Wang Hai always looked arrogant and arrogant when talking to him. He had never been so easy-going and polite as today, let alone said "please". "Character.
Therefore, he was very surprised in his heart. He stared at Wang Hai who was hunched over to refill the boiling water in Secretary Lu's tea cup. After running through a few thoughts quickly in his mind, he immediately realized: Wang Hai was afraid that he would fall because Just from the news, Xu Lizhong already knew that Li Botang and his son had been detained, and Zhenxing Company was about to close down. Many people had heard rumors that Wang Hai and Xie Hongda were inextricably linked to Zhenxing Company and Li Botang and his son. Now Li Botang and his son have been arrested. I guess I will pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, and involve Wang Hai, Xie Hongda and others...
Thinking of this, Xu Lizhong felt happy in his heart, and at the same time he admired Secretary Lu's strategy of strategizing a decisive victory thousands of miles away...
When Wang Hai made tea for Secretary Lu and brought it in, Secretary Lu still sat on the armchair behind the desk, mouthing at him, gesturing for him to put the teacup on the desk.
Then, Secretary Lu leaned his head back on the armchair comfortably, squinting his eyes and looking straight ahead. He neither invited Wang Hai to sit down nor asked him what he wanted to talk about, and just sat quietly like that. There, it was as if Wang Hai didn't exist at all.
Wang Hai stood next to the desk in embarrassment for a minute or two. Seeing that Secretary Lu had no intention of speaking first, he finally couldn't stand the invisible mental pressure and had to take the initiative to speak: "Secretary Lu, I'm here to tell you I am here to ask for your forgiveness."
When Secretary Lu heard what he said, his slightly closed eyes opened wide, and he glanced at Wang Hai with an extremely sharp gaze. With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he pointed at the desk opposite the desk that was a few inches shorter. He shared the chair and said, "Sit down first. If you have anything to say, speak slowly and I'll listen."
Wang Hai said thank you, then carefully sat down with his butt half touching the stool.
"Secretary Lu, I just read from "Tianjiang News Broadcast" that Xinleng County Zhenxing Iron and Steel Company has been investigated and punished for evading huge amounts of taxes. This news shocked me greatly, and I felt that I had some problems. Let me report to you and ask for your understanding.
"The situation is like this: four years ago, under the introduction of a friend, I met Li Botang, a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress and chairman of Zhenxing Iron and Steel Company. At that time, Zhenxing Iron and Steel Company had just changed from a state-owned company to a joint-stock company, with Li Botang's personal investment. I bought the original Xinleng Steel Plant and was in the process of expanding the share capital and preparing to expand the company's business scale. During a meal, Li Botang asked me if any of my relatives had spare money. If so, they could invest it in his company. , dividends are distributed according to the share of shares held.
"At that time, a sister-in-law of mine happened to have made several million yuan in business and wanted to switch to investing. She no longer wanted to earn the hard-earned money from waking up early in the morning. My brother-in-law had approached me several times and asked me to help him. Looking for a company that is more profitable and needs investment, he is going to invest the millions of funds he has accumulated in his hand and make money from investment dividends. Therefore, when I heard Li Botang’s proposal, I remembered my uncle-in-law’s I requested, so I set up a connection between them and made my sister-in-law become a shareholder of Zhenxing Company. In recent years, due to the relatively good performance of Zhenxing Company, my sister-in-law has received about 10 to 20 million in dividends from the company. Yuan.
"Of course, you should also know: Li Botang is a businessman, and the nature of a businessman is profit-seeking. He asked my sister-in-law to buy shares in his company and receive dividends. He would never give them such a big advantage for no reason. He There is a purpose, and his purpose is to use my power as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee to settle some things for him and his company, and the most important of them is tax matters, such as revitalizing the company's first two I had a say in the income tax reduction and exemption in 2016 and played a certain role in it. Zhenxing Company has evaded so much tax in recent years, and I, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, cannot escape the blame.
"So, I sincerely make a review to you now, and am willing to bear my legal and disciplinary responsibilities for this. At the same time, I express my deep regret for the negative impact that these disciplinary violations of mine have had on the image of the provincial party committee leadership team. I apologize and am willing to sincerely accept your criticism."
Secretary Lu was noncommittal about his so-called "review" that avoided important matters. After he finished speaking, he was silent for another minute or two and then asked: "Comrade Wang Hai, regarding your sister-in-law's investment in Zhenxing Company, what do you think? How are you going to deal with it?"
Wang Hai hurriedly replied: "I just called my brother-in-law and asked him to hand over every cent of the dividends he has received from the revitalization company in the past few years to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, because from my perspective He said that those dividends were illegal gains and must be handed over to the state, and that this was also a way to make up for my fault, so not a penny of that money could be kept."
Secretary Lu nodded and said: "I only noticed the tax evasion case of Xinleng Zhenxing Company when I watched the news tonight. As for the things you just took the initiative to tell me, I don't have the real situation yet, so I can't make any comments, but since you took the initiative to tell me today, tomorrow I will find the person who is handling this case from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to ask you what problems you have and what responsibilities you should bear. I believe there will be one by then. In conclusion, it is too early for you to come to me and ask for punishment."
Wang Hai knew that Secretary Lu was deliberately not giving him a clear explanation, and he felt really anxious. After gritting his teeth and weighing it for a while, he finally said to Secretary Lu in a trembling voice: "Secretary Lu, I have one more request: I have been diagnosed with severe diabetes since last year. The doctor has long recommended that I be hospitalized. In the past few days, I have been feeling more and more uncomfortable and I am really unable to do my job. Therefore, I would like to request You granted me a few months of sick leave and asked me to go to the hospital to recuperate for a few months. While I was recuperating, I hope you would appoint a deputy secretary-general to temporarily take over my work. I really can no longer take on any work tasks. I am here today. This is also an important reason why I came to see you late."
Secretary Lu glanced at Wang Hai in surprise, frowned and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I approve your sick leave."
Seeing that Secretary Lu answered more simply, Wang Hai showed a hint of joy on his face, and continued: "Secretary Lu, I have one more request: I have been working as Secretary-General for seven or eight years and served two terms of Secretary-General. , this job is indeed complicated and tiring, and all my problems are probably caused by such worry and hard work, so I want to give up my options. After the party congress next year, I want to ask the central government to let me go to the provincial CPPCC or I am working in other departments that are less busy, and I hope Secretary Lu can help me realize this wish."
