The officialdom of rebirth

Indeed, even though the members of the Standing Committee had a brief exchange in private before Chen Yang came, and guessed that the reason why Chen Yang was in such a hurry to summon everyone to this Standing Committee was probably because of what happened tonight, but no one had ever Thinking that Chen Yang actually set a big tone as soon as he came up without saying a word.

What does it mean to discuss the issue of Comrade Zhang Yuan?

In fact, from the perspective of the Standing Committee members, there is nothing wrong with being Commander Zhang. Isn’t it just to curry favor with the head of the army? Although there may be a small taboo, it is all harmless and unspoken rules, you Secretary Chen Is it necessary to beat others to death with a stick?

For a while, there was silence in the conference room, no one spoke actively, only those who looked down at their notebooks, or pretended to drink tea to cover up.

Chen Yang looked around the faces of everyone, and finally landed on Lin Kun.

Lin Kun knew in his heart that Chen Yang was forcing him to express his opinion. As the second in command, he would naturally dislike some of Chen Yang's actions, not to mention what happened tonight. It's been a bit too much, not to mention breaking the unspoken rules, and it's aggressive to the point of no return.He knew that if he didn't make a different voice, he would be like the other members of the Standing Committee in Huahai and would only be a respondent who could only lick Chen Yang's ass. This was obviously not his original intention for coming to Huahai, even if he If he can't make a show in Huahai, he will be ruthlessly abandoned by the faction bosses behind him who support him.

After thinking for a while, Lin Kun finally spoke: "Secretary Chen. I think that as far as what happened tonight is concerned, I'll be honest. Comrade Zhang Yuan doesn't have any big problems that we need to discuss, right?"

As for Lin Kun, he sang against himself as soon as he opened his mouth.Chen Yang was not surprised. First, he knew very well that Lin Kun and Zhang Yuan had a good personal relationship. Leaving aside some complicated political relations, the two could barely be regarded as cadres belonging to the same faction. Now he wanted to move Zhang Yuan. Yuan, Lin Kun naturally must be kept, and the second is because Lin Kun has been in Huahai since he came to Huahai.I can be regarded as being more polite to him, and it has been a long time since I have said too much weight in the Standing Committee.In addition, the newly arrived members of the Standing Committee were all airborne, and their relationship with Lin Kun was quite close. This may also have given Lin Kun the illusion that he felt that he could wrestle with him on the Standing Committee.

Maybe, if a nasty thing like tonight hadn't happened.Chen Yang will let Lin Kun continue to maintain this illusion for a long time, and even let Lin Kun do some big things. After all, Chen Yang's personal reputation in Huahai has reached its peak, and if it rises further, it will easily cause high-level criticism. I got it, he planned to keep a low profile before entering the central government, but it was a pity that when things happened, they happened, and no one could erase him, but for this kind of problem that touched Chen Yang's bottom line.Chen Yang would never allow that to happen.

Chen Yang's bottom line or principle is actually not complicated, as mentioned earlier, he never asks his cadres to be upright officials.However, he will never allow, let alone condone, his cadres to become evil officials who use their power to exploit the common people. No matter how capable and background you are, Chen Yang will never be soft on such cadres.

It is clear.Comrade Zhang Yuan touched Chen Yang's bottom line tonight, not to mention that it was Chen Yang's family members who were fished.

"Comrade Lin Kun. Since you haven't figured out Comrade Zhang Yuan's question, let me tell you a few words. By the way, everyone has listened carefully to me."

Chen Yang was no longer as aggressive as he was in the auditorium of the military division, making people speechless. At this moment, he has calmed down a lot.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him continue to speak: "Comrade Zhang Yuan, as a high-level cadre in the party and the army, in broad daylight, when others clearly expressed their unwillingness, he used his position to forcibly coerce An ordinary employee of the art troupe went to eat and drink with his superiors, I would like to ask everyone, what is the nature of this? Is this what a senior national cadre should do?"

Chen Yang's eloquent words completely confirmed the crime of the unlucky Commander Zhang.

Lin Kun snorted softly and wanted to refute a few words, but he didn't know where to start. After all, many people have seen what happened in the auditorium before. If Chen Yang insists on going online, give Commander Zhang a buckle Big hat, he really couldn't say anything more to help Commander Zhang.

And Chen Yang obviously hadn't finished speaking yet, and he continued to say heartbroken: "What makes me feel even more incomprehensible and distressing is that several of our comrades who were also present at the scene saw such an angry thing happen, unexpectedly No one dares to step forward to stop this kind of ugly behavior in the bright world. Our comrades are all in high positions, and they are full of benevolence, morality, propriety, righteousness and shame when holding meetings for your subordinates on weekdays. You are full of service for the people, full of loyalty to the party and the country, but look at your ugliness at that time, is this how you serve the people? When a weak girl cried bitterly and was helpless under the bullying of the powerful, What are you people's servants doing? Ah? What are you thinking in your mind? Hehe, can you really stand by and watch with indifference? I don't want to say whether you are worthy of your conscience, I just want to ask , are you worthy of the power entrusted to you by the people? Are you worthy of your status as a dignified senior cadre?"

Speaking of this, Chen Yang seemed to be angry again. He lit a cigarette and slammed the lighter on the conference table.

Snapped!With a soft sound, all the standing committee members sitting here couldn't help their hearts tremble violently.In front of the furious Secretary Chen, no one dared to speak out, and even tried to keep their voices to a minimum when breathing.

Chen Yang took several puffs of cigarettes in a row, then put out the cigarette, and then continued to say in a cold voice: "Let me see, it's not just Zhang Yuan's problem, if this matter is really exposed, I think Which of you group of high-ranking senior cadres has the face to sit on this chair majestically?"

All the members of the Standing Committee bowed their heads in silence like a cicada.Dodging Chen Yang's gaze, and several members of the Standing Committee who were not there at the time secretly rejoiced that they had escaped a catastrophe thanks to not being there at the time.

After a long silence.Li Guanping, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, coughed dryly, and opened his mouth cautiously: "Secretary Chen, you were right in your criticism just now. As an old comrade who has been educated by the state and the party for many years, I really did not do my duty as an official. , ignoring the transformation of my own world outlook and values, and failing the trust of the party, the country, and the masses. After this meeting is over, I will submit my review to the municipal party committee in time. And there is no condition for the municipal party committee’s punishment of me acceptance."

Li Guanping was the first to take the initiative to admit his mistake to Chen Yang, and he took the lead to set such an example, which immediately shocked the other standing committee members present, especially Lin Kun, Tan Lun and others who were present at the scene.

No wonder.Everyone knows that although Li Guanping is a veteran member of the Huahai Standing Committee, with the downfall of Gao Ming, this old guy has already joined Chen Yang's command. I can understand, but in this way, it will be difficult for others.Especially Lin Kun and Tan Lun, who have just arrived in Huahai not long ago, have to lose such a big person in the Standing Committee before their butts are hot.How are you going to mess around in the future?

But Chen Yang had already stood on the moral high ground, set the tone for this matter, and Li Guanping, a sycophant, fueled the flames. How could this matter be overturned now?But if the tone has been set and the case cannot be overturned, wouldn't the remaining members of the Standing Committee who were present at the time also have to follow Li Guanping in self-criticism at the meeting?

Now.It really puts everyone in a dilemma.

Lin Kun even glared at Li Guanping fiercely in anger, and cursed in his stomach.Well, you Chairman Li, when you talked and joked with me before, I really didn't realize that you, an old guy, turned out to be Chen Yang's follower, you're trying to bully me on purpose, right?

Li Guanping, on the other hand, didn't notice Lin Kun's vicious gaze, and his face showed a painful and reflective expression.But he was also cursing secretly in his heart, Lin Kun, Lin Kun, what's the use of staring at me?I think you have been in the officialdom for decades, do you really think you are qualified to wrestle with Secretary Chen?Do you think that you went smoothly in the Standing Committee because Secretary Chen was afraid of you, an outsider?Hehe, are you really him, naive and childish!Let me tell you, Lin Kun, that is Secretary Chen teasing you idiot!Don't use your brain to think about it, so what kind of person is our Secretary Gao of Huahai?Secretary Gao has been working hard in Huahai for nearly ten years, and as a result, Secretary Chen has to leave in a disgraceful manner?Do you really think you are an onion?

When the two were secretly fighting, the others were not idle, especially the deputy secretary Zeng Chunming who was also on the scene at the time. At this time, his intestines were green with regret, and at the same time he secretly scolded Li Guanping for being so cunning. , Why didn't I think of being the first to stand up and express my opinion?

Since he didn't expect it just now, he couldn't delay now. Zeng Chunming knew that if he delayed and let Tan Lun wait for outsiders to take the lead in self-criticism, then it is very likely that he will be thoroughly criticized by Secretary Chen after this meeting. Into the limbo, and from then on never stand up again.

After realizing the seriousness of the problem, Zeng Chunming didn't think about it any more, and immediately stood up from the chair, and made a deep review in a tone that was a hundred times heavier than that of Li Guanping just now: "Secretary Chen, and Dear comrades sitting here, first of all, I have to make a profound self-criticism to you. Since the second half of this year, Secretary Chen has been emphasizing the party's mass line education practice activities to the party members and cadres in the city on different occasions. It is important, but as a deputy secretary in charge of ideology, although I have arranged a lot of work according to Secretary Chen's requirements, I have never been able to truly understand in my mind that Secretary Chen is carrying out this work in the party committees at all levels in the city. The importance of educational practice activities, in this regard, I am an incompetent and unqualified deputy secretary of the party committee. Secondly, I have neglected the transformation of my outlook on life and the world. I have lost sight of many ugly phenomena in society and institutions. The ability to distinguish and judge, so that when the masses are in danger, when the masses need party cadres, but when they face the ugly forces, they are afraid, cowardly, and finally retreat shamefully. As a Senior party cadres, this is unforgivable! Based on the above two points, I request Secretary Chen and the party committee to give me the most serious disciplinary action. I express my unconditional obedience to any personal resolution of the standing committee.”

Secretary Zeng is worthy of being an old Jianghu, what he said is clear and well-founded, and what is even more amazing is that he was able to closely connect this shit with the mass line practice that Chen Yang often mentioned recently. It made all the members of the Standing Committee look at him with admiration for three days.

Li Guanping even complained secretly in his stomach, Lao Zeng, Lao Zeng, you can do it.Why didn't I think of it?

Secretary Zeng did not sit down immediately after his profound self-criticism, but continued to bow his head and admit his mistakes.With a look of great pain on his face.

For Zeng and Li's self-criticism, Chen Yang was not surprised, and he didn't express his position, but just nodded noncommittally to Zeng Chunming, who had been refusing to sit down all this time: "Sit down first. Old Zeng."

Zeng Chunming listened to the sound of a fairy, and secretly wiped off his cold sweat while sitting down. He knew that fortunately, he was smart enough, and he passed this test tonight without any danger.

After the two of them finished their self-criticism, Chen Yang didn't seem to want to stop there. He coldly glanced at the remaining two members of the Standing Committee who were also present at that time, Organization Minister Tan Lun and Propaganda Minister Liu Heping.

Like Lin Kun, these two were outsiders who had just landed in Huahai. After being swept by Chen Yang's cold gaze at this time, the pressure in their hearts undoubtedly increased several times.

In desperation.Tan Lun and Liu Heping had no choice but to follow Zeng Chunming's example and stood up one after the other, criticizing themselves one after another with ugly faces.Of course, compared with the previous two backbones of the Chen family.The self-criticism of the two of them was obviously not that deep and vivid. They just said a few words, but it was still an expression of their attitude.

Naturally, Chen Yang was not very satisfied with the statements of these two people, but Chen Yang did not hold them to the standards of Lao Zeng and Lao Li, after all, they had only just arrived.To be honest, being able to make such a statement is already a product of the last resort under the pressure of a powerful person like Chen Yang.If someone else took Chen Yang's position, let alone self-criticize in front of other colleagues, they would have made up their minds to have a falling out with Chen Yang.

Ever since, among the group of five at the scene, now only Lin Kun is the only one who has not made self-criticism.For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Lin Kun, and all the pressure undoubtedly fell on Lin Kun's shoulders.

No wonder, for Lin Kun, this is simply an unsolvable deadlock.

Let's make a statement, I'm ashamed to throw it to my grandma's house, but don't make a statement, the current situation leaves him with no second choice at all.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Kun thought about it for a long time, and finally, he spoke with difficulty: "Secretary Chen, and all comrades present, what Secretary Chen said just now is very correct. Indeed, as a party member, I Cadres, it was my fault for not stepping forward when the masses were in trouble. I accept Secretary Chen’s criticism. However, regarding what happened tonight and Comrade Zhang Yuan’s issue, any decision made by the Standing Committee , I have no objection, but personally, I still have reservations on this matter just like the point of view just now.”

Lin Kun finished speaking in one breath, then grabbed the teacup and poured a big gulp of hot tea into his stomach.

To be honest, although his words gave him a little bit of face, at this moment, he still wished he could find a hole in the ground and go down there.

And Lin Kun's statement made Chen Yang a little surprised, and Chen Yang even faintly realized whether he underestimated the second in command from Yanjing a little too much.

However, these are not issues that Chen Yang needs to worry about. Even if Lin Kun's performance is a little bit beyond Chen Yang's expectations, it will not have the slightest impact on the overall situation.Similarly, there will be no impact on tonight's events.

Soon, Chen Yang made a decisive decision: "Well, since several comrades have expressed their attitudes and reached a consensus, then the personal problems of Comrade Zhang Yuan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Huahai Municipal Committee, must be dealt with seriously. I personally suggest that Punish Comrade Zhang Yuan for a major demerit within the party, and at the same time form a meeting document to report to the higher-level party committee as soon as possible, and request the higher-level party committee to transfer such black sheep from Huahai's standing committee." After a pause, Chen Yang continued: "Now I propose that a democratic vote be held at the Standing Committee, comrades who agree with the above decision, please raise your hand."

As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, everyone raised their hands in unison, except for Lin Kun who bowed his head and said nothing.

Chen Yang turned his eyes and said lightly: "Okay, except Comrade Lin Kun, there are a total of eight comrades who agree with the above-mentioned treatment of Comrade Zhang Yuan." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the other deputy The secretary, Gao Hua, said, "Comrade Gao Hua, later on, you should sort out all the materials for this meeting as soon as possible, form an official document, and try to hand it over to my office before work at noon tomorrow."

Gao Hua is also a new member of the Standing Committee, and even his relationship with Lin Kun is very strong, but the situation is stronger than others at this time. After he glanced at Lin Kun who was silent, he nodded quickly: "Okay, Chen Secretary." (to be continued)
