Chapter Seventy Resolve the Problem
Li Xiuming also contacted Wei Chengxu after the event and exchanged with him about what happened at the meeting. Wei Chengxu also felt that actually, no one, including Zhao Bo, had made up their mind to get Chen Gong out of trouble.
Li Xiuming also mentioned that this 500 million thing is not easy to handle, if the city or management committee comes to take the blame, then this leadership team will not be able to smoothly climb up in the future.
As for Wei Cheng's other requests, Li Xiuming always gave him face, as long as there was no problem with the money, he guaranteed that Chen Gong would not leave the political circle, at most he would be put in a place where he could not show his presence, and then reused later.
Wei Chengxu also thanked Li Xiuming over the phone for his efforts to help, and Li Xiuming did not dare to be complacent. He hurriedly returned the courtesy, saying that in the future, it was inevitable that he would ask Wei Chengxu for help, after all, Wei Chengxu had a great possibility of becoming the next Standing Committee member of the Provincial Party Committee of South Province and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of South City.
Wei Chengxu wanted to help Chen Gong in his heart, but he couldn't show too much enthusiasm in front of his daughter after all, he wasn't a legitimate son-in-law. At this time, Wei Chengxu dialed the phone number of Wei Shuqin's uncle in another province.
Wei Shuqin's mother died in a flood relief effort, and the two families had much less contact with each other, and they were not even in the same province. If it weren't for Wei Shuqin as a bridge between them, the two families might have lost touch completely.
Wei Shuqin's uncle Guo Dayong is engaged in the production of electrical appliances, mainly TVs, refrigerators and other household products. The company is headquartered in Hebei Province with assets exceeding 1 billion yuan.
Wei Chengxu simply mentioned on the phone that he needed 50 million yuan to help Wei Shuqin's boyfriend solve a current problem, which was very urgent. Guo Dayong of course knew it must be an urgent matter, otherwise his younger brother who hadn't called him in years wouldn't have contacted him. However, he still needed a week to prepare the funds and didn't ask when they would be repaid.
Even a mayor wouldn't borrow money and not return it, although it's not certain that he can pay it back. But his nephew's boyfriend has earned money and will definitely give the principal plus interest to his uncle. He never thought that this money would be swindled by Wei Chengxu and not returned to him. Wei Chengxu thought, is your niece only worth this little bit of money?
The secretary of the provincial party committee in the south, Du Minghe was alone in his office smoking and reviewing documents. "Come in." Du Minghe heard a knock at the door.
Du Minghe followed Chen's system and finally became a provincial governor from a mayor, with great power. At this time, Du Minghe put down his pen and lay on the boss chair, looking at the spacious office, sighing in his heart, thinking back to the stormy years of the past few decades, until now, he truly entered the stage where he controlled his own destiny, no longer afraid of doing things, fearing front and rear, still developing well in this position for a few more years before retiring with honor.
The secretary walked up quickly and said, "Secretary, there is something I need to report to you."
The secretary is still the same as when he was governor of the province, after all these years, they have developed feelings for each other. Du Minghe nodded to the secretary to continue speaking.
Du Minghe furrowed his brow, yeah, in this southern official circle, there's still a young master at work, although last time Chen Guohao called to let himself be free and only intervene in coordination during the crisis, it seems that this time there is indeed some crisis inside.
When the secretary asked if Du Minghe needed to let Li Xiuxin handle it properly, Du Minghe shook his head. "Don't worry about it for now, wait until everything is settled before saying anything. If Chen Gong is really a greedy person, then I will support his father in kicking him out of office and sending him back home; if not, and it's just a violation of regulations for the sake of regional economic development, then helping him again is also my call."
Xiao Xingya has been busy lately. This time Chen Gong got into trouble and she was more worried than her own affairs, arranging people everywhere to think of a solution.
She arranged for someone to go to the Agricultural Bank's southern provincial branch to find Xu Cheng, and then contacted Wang Qian, a key figure in this matter. She immediately sent someone to the coastal address mentioned by Wang Qian to look for that company. A day later, it was learned that the company had disappeared, and after checking with the local business administration department, it was found that it had not been registered.
Along the coast, new registrations with the same company name were no longer available, so Xiao Xingya registered a similarly named company in Fuhai, claiming to be a subsidiary of the coastal company, and repaid all agricultural loans without missing a single cent of interest.
At this time, the newly established subsidiary has begun to encircle the intended location in Fuhai Industrial Park. The project leader is Wang Qian. On the other hand, contact with Yuan Weihua, director of the park's administrative committee's investment promotion office, and start fulfilling the agreed-upon payments and amounts one by one.
Yuan Weihua may not know what this has to do with Chen Gong, in his heart, he only knows that Chen Gong is involved in the things that happened in Qinghe Town, and that this project was brought in by Chen Gong. If Chen Gong got into trouble over this, Yuan Weihua really didn't know about it. If he had known, he would have definitely investigated the company's background thoroughly.
Xiao Xingya found Huang Liang of the Da Tou Cai company, Hai Tian Real Estate. Huang Liang was also a well-known local rascal. After learning of Xiao Xingya's intentions, Huang Liang also poured out his bitter water, admitting that he wasn't intentionally involved with Chen Gong. He honestly told everything, just like Chen Gong had described.
Xiao Xingya was very blunt, having secretly investigated beforehand that Huang Liang was also a tyrant in Qinghe Town. This time he brought over a dozen people and said, "Huang, I hope you can settle your debts within two days. Otherwise, I won't guarantee that your company will still be able to operate normally, nor will I guarantee your personal safety."
"Huang Liang was frightened and said, 'Director Xiao, Director Xiao, please be magnanimous and don't get angry. Chen Gong and I are like brothers. If I really had the money, I would have solved it long ago. My company is really in trouble. Don't believe me? You can send someone to check our accounts, you're welcome to come anytime.'"
Xiao Xingya thought for a moment, "Tell the unit that holds the debt to my subordinate, we'll go pay it back. You contact them and when paying back, write it as last year's payment. I'll pay a bit more interest. The reason you're still being sued everywhere this year is because I want your company to settle accounts on time every year. Also, since I lent you the money, I'll take 30% of your company's shares. Consider yourselves lucky."
Huang Liang said with a very awkward expression, "What about the petitioning of those two elderly people? I don't dare to get involved now, they've had police following them for days."
Xiao Xingya said faintly, "Mind your own business, can you? If the two of them really don't want money, I'll just find someone to send them to a coastal province and give them some money, so they'll never come back."
Huang Liang nodded slightly, this woman is quite capable, with a strong financial background and great influence, she handles everything perfectly. If I had her background and power, I think I wouldn't be any worse than her.
The municipal discipline inspection commission's follow-up investigation is still ongoing, several staff members looked at each other, it seems that what Chen Gong did was not a problem, the problems that appeared in the previous period are no longer a problem, they seem to have been resolved, and he even made achievements.
Wang Zhengyi immediately reported the latest developments to Li Xiuming, who was also puzzled. This seemed to be no problem at all, the money had been returned, and the project had started, with plans to invest hundreds of millions of yuan. The loan for the big-headed cabbage had disappeared, and the creditor was not pursuing it either. Chen Gong was now just a person responsible for violating regulations.
Li Xiuming immediately told Wei Chengxu about the development of things, and Wei Chengxu was also shocked. In just a few days, so many changes have taken place. It seems that this kid's "life is not destined to be extinct", and his brother-in-law Guo Dayout's money can also be spared, saving himself from future troubles.
Li Xiuming also said that the major issue has been resolved, but this matter has spread within the circle and had a negative impact. Therefore, Chen Gong must be transferred elsewhere. Specifically, it will be handed over to Xinqiao District for research. In general, the level will be adjusted downward. Wei Chengxu had nothing to say, and being able to do so was already not bad.
Zhao Bo was not feeling good in his heart. Originally, he thought Chen Gong was a decent person and wanted to protect him. Who knew that the more things dragged on, the more serious they became? He was very angry with this useless kid. Now, things had taken another turn, and he couldn't figure out what kind of person Chen Gong really was.
To put everyone at ease, Xiao Xingya also informed Wang Qian about the progress of things. Wang Qian reported to Huang Haibo, Li Fenghua, Lu Feng and others, and everyone calmed down. As long as there were no major problems, it was OK.
After the Agricultural Bank of China's southern provincial branch received a repayment of 50 million yuan plus interest, Xu Cheng felt much more at ease and told Luo Chuan not to worry too much, as things were no longer that serious. What Luo Chuan needed to do was to minimize the issue at the next meeting.
Sure, here is the translation:
"Sure enough, within two days, Fuhai City held another Standing Committee meeting specifically for Chen Gong's matter. This time, the discussion was different from the previous one. The previous one was about whether to deal with Chen Gong or not, while this time it was about how to arrange a job for Chen Gong. Therefore, Yuan Weihua, Secretary of Xinqiao District, and Yang Xian, Head of Xinqiao District, both attended the meeting."
After Secretary Wang Zhengyi of the Discipline Inspection Commission reported on the latest situation, Zhao Bo, as Chen Gong's direct superior, first expressed his opinion. "After two weeks of investigation, we have now basically reached a conclusion about Comrade Chen Gong's violation of regulations in Fuhai Industrial Park Management Committee. Economically, there is no problem at all. Regarding several violations by Comrade Chen Gong, everyone can express their opinions. In short, Chen Gong must leave the management committee."
"Personally, I think Comrade Chen Gong is still quite good overall. He's willing to work hard and make sacrifices, so let's give him a good platform and space to develop, and let him make up for his mistakes by doing more things for the people."
Newly promoted municipal standing committee member Qian Guangming, who is one of Chen Gong's "opponents", said: "I think that since such a big thing has happened, even if there are no economic problems, the impact is very bad. If violations are not severely punished, then everyone will violate the rules, and no one will take responsibility. Isn't this chaotic?"
The several standing committee members nodded in agreement, chiming in with "That's the way it is", "Must be severely warned, or else later...", "Mayor Qian makes a lot of sense..."...
Luochuan's hidden passage is no good, this Qiangmingtai is too damn annoying, next time I have a chance, I'll settle the score with you.
Qian Guangming leaned back in his chair, feeling very pleased with himself. This little brat, I still have a way to deal with you. (Liu Yadong and Wang Guoqiang's money wasn't wasted after all.)
They went on discussing like this, in short, all of them inclined to transfer Chen Gong to an unimportant department.
Li Xiuming also felt relieved, in short, he had done what Wei Chengxu had promised to do, and I let him not be demoted, although Chen Gong was a mid-level deputy position in the management committee, his rank was indeed not high.
Li Xiuming set the general direction, "Everyone's basic views are consistent now. Let's talk about Xinqiao District's specific arrangements. If everyone has no objections, then it's settled."
Yuan Weihua and Yang Qian whispered to each other for a few minutes, then Yuan Weihua said, "Considering Comrade Chen Gong is a mid-level cadre in the management committee and not low in rank, we should at least arrange for him to be a bureau chief. I just communicated with Mayor Yang and reported back to everyone that there are two places available, both of which have vacant top positions. One is the Archives Bureau and the other is the Earthquake Bureau, waiting for Secretary Li's final decision."
Li Xiuming thought for a moment, if he went to the Archives Bureau, he would never be reused again. He couldn't achieve anything no matter what he did. As for the Seismological Bureau, although it wasn't very important either, earthquakes around the world had been occurring more frequently recently, and many places were starting to pay attention to it. At least it was better than the Archives Bureau. "Just go to the Xinqiao District Seismological Bureau, be a director, and temper yourself."
The secretary expressed his attitude, and naturally no one dared to refute it, so everyone raised their hands in agreement.
Chen Gong's next stop has been set, Director of the Xin Qiao District Seismological Bureau, a new mission awaits him to take on.
