Qin Ge still didn't know about Wang Hai's plan to ask for leave and be hospitalized. At this moment, Meng Buding was shocked when he heard what Secretary Lu said. However, he quickly came to his senses and figured out the whole story: This This was Wang Hai's self-protection strategy, and he wanted to seek Secretary Lu's forgiveness by actively showing weakness, so as to avoid going to jail for Xinleng's major tax evasion case.
Thinking of this, Qin Ge secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, but did not show anything on his face. He just said lightly: "Secretary Lu, I know Wang Hai's illness. It is true that he suffers from diabetes, but it is far from what he expected." He said he needed to be hospitalized for half a year. If my guess is correct, the disease he suffered from was mainly heart disease, a disease that caused a weak heart, timidity, and lack of confidence. I will also give you the bottom line: I talked to you about this today. Those words were like a thunderclap above my head, completely shaking me out of my confused and dazed state. They also made me see clearly the true faces of Wang Hai, Xie Hongda, and Zhou Jiqing. , they actually supported me and encouraged me to go against you and Comrade Runji, but they actually had their own ulterior motives. I have been used by them for so long, but I didn’t even know it. If you hadn’t woken me up in time today, , save me, I will probably follow them into an abyss of no return.
"Furthermore, Secretary Lu, you should know me well. Although I am a bit arrogant and overestimate my abilities, I think I am relatively good at being honest and self-disciplined, and I have never made any mistakes in this regard. No matter what mistakes I have made, and I am merciless to my subordinates who make such mistakes, I will deal with them as I should, even if he is the person closest to me, no exception. Because of this, Wang Hai, Xie Hongda, and Zhou Jiqing have followed me for so many years, but they never dared to let me know about their illegal activities, and they never dared to give me gifts.
"Because they usually disguise themselves very well, the problems of violating discipline and law are hidden deeply. In addition, since I came to the province as governor, I have been busy with routine work, and the three of them work for the provincial party committee, so, I have never been aware of their illegal and disciplinary problems until now, and no one has reported it to me. The only thing I know is that Wang Hai, Xie Hongda and the man named Li from Xinlang County Revitalization Company have an unusual relationship. The two of them also tried to introduce Li Botang to me, but I flatly refused. At that time, I also reminded and warned them: don't get too close to businessmen, don't have too close friendship with them, otherwise, it will be very difficult. It’s easy to get into trouble. Unexpectedly, the problem I was worried about eventually happened. If my estimate was correct, these two people should have been involved in Li Botang’s tax evasion case, and they were probably deeply involved. Otherwise, Wang With Hai's temperament and passion for power, it is impossible for him to voluntarily give up power.
"Secretary Lu, I know that you are now asking for my opinion on Wang Hai's initiative to give up power, mainly because you are afraid that I will have any misunderstandings, and you are also afraid of what I will think of you. At the same time, you also fully respect my intentions. In this regard, I express Thank you. At the same time, I also express my point of view: Even if you did not come to me to talk about this today, even if the misunderstanding between you and me is still not eliminated, but if there is conclusive evidence that Wang Hai and Xie Hongda were involved in the tax evasion case of Zhenxing Company If there are serious violations of discipline and law, I will support you without hesitation and support the central government in investigating and punishing them in accordance with the law. I will never have the slightest intention to protect or shield them. I believe Secretary Lu can still trust me on this point."
Qin Ge's words were awe-inspiring and resounding. They were indeed his true thoughts. Secretary Lu nodded frequently.
After Qin Ge paused for a while, he asked again: "Secretary Lu, I would like to ask: If Comrade Runji brings evidence that Wang Hai and Xie Hongda are suspected of violating discipline, how do you plan to deal with them? Will you report it in time? Go to the central government and let the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection investigate and deal with them."
Secretary Lu shook his head and said: "Comrade Qin Ge, I have an immature idea about how to deal with the issue of Wang Hai and Xie Hongda. I want to ask for your opinion. My idea is: for the sake of the provincial party committee team For the sake of stability, and for the overall interests of Tianjiang Province, Wang Hai, Xie Hongda, and Zhou Jiqing must be treated differently when dealing with them. The principle of this differential treatment is to look at their degree of confession and remorse. Are you truly aware of the seriousness of your mistakes and will they affect the overall development and stability of Tianjiang Province?
"Judging from the current situation, although Wang Hai is the most scheming and is the deepest in the Zhenxing Company case, he has also repented the most thoroughly. He took the initiative to come to me to discuss his problems. Moreover, He also took the initiative to ask his family members to return all the stolen money. Therefore, although he was a bit evasive and shirk responsibility when talking about his violations of discipline and law, in general, he had this attitude and this Taking the initiative to admit his mistakes and reflect on them is very good. Moreover, he also took the initiative to take a sick leave first and then take up a casual position in the CPPCC for retirement. This shows that he has a deep understanding of his own mistakes and is willing to do what he thinks is most appropriate. There is no way to take responsibility for this mistake. In view of this, I approved his request for sick leave and proposed to go to the Central Committee to fight for him. After the Party Congress next year, he will be arranged to be a deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress. This way of handling it, I think It can avoid major turbulence in the provincial party committee, and it will not cause shocking news and cause a huge shock in the Tianjiang political arena.
"As for Xie Hongda, I believe you should know him very well. This person is very stubborn, very deep-rooted, self-righteous, and willful. It is difficult to listen to different opinions, and it is difficult to correct his shortcomings and problems. I originally thought , as long as he, like Wang Hai, comes to talk to me, frankly admits his mistakes, and expresses his repentance, we can also consider letting him sit in the position of organization minister until next year, and then propose to the central government that he should be replaced. He went to the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to take up a position, but now it seems that this person will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River. I heard people react that he is still using his authority to ask people to inquire about the Zhenxing Company case. I want to know whether Li Botang and his son have confessed. Not to reveal his crimes.
"Therefore, for this kind of unrepentant die-hard, my suggestion is: You and I jointly write to the Central Committee to expose his crimes, and the Central Committee will decide whether to open a case for investigation against him. I also tell you frankly: The reason why I I want to jointly submit a letter with you to expose Xie Hongda, just to prevent Xie Hongda’s backers in the central government from having any opinions about me, thinking that I am intolerant of others and deliberately trying to punish Xie Hongda. If the top leaders of our party and government all have the same opinions, others will not have any problems. Thoughts and opinions, what do you think?"
