With the completion of personnel changes, significantly more subordinates came to report to Executive Vice Governor Peng Jiasheng than before. The number of people Zhao Xiaobei knows has also gradually increased, and they are basically some municipal party committee standing committee members and government leaders. There are also some directors of provincial departments and the like. Some of these people are responsible for reporting on the centralized work, and some of them want to become familiar with Peng Jiasheng and deepen their contact with Governor Peng. They want to get Governor Peng’s Appreciative.
Zhao Xiaobei received them very politely, and was also looking for some people to meet who he felt had potential and room for improvement. These people are also keen to have a relationship with Secretary Zhao Xiaobei. After all, Zhao Xiaobei can still convey a lot of valuable information and convenience.
Zhao Xiaobei has been thinking these days that with Yu Xiangbo and Ji Xiaofu in place, what other methods Governor Peng will have to start to lift the lid on Ningzhou. But he was very disappointed. The leader seemed to have forgotten about this matter. Yu Xiangbo and Ji Xiaofu also came to report on their work, but they never mentioned the restructuring of Guofu Mine again. Zhao Xiaobei thought that Governor Peng was going dormant to save more. At that time, a shocking gossip spread in the provincial government compound.
Some people in the province and the ministry are reporting on the loss of state-owned assets caused by the restructuring of Guofu Mine, and Xia Xihua is involved in power-for-money transactions and transfer of interests.
Zhao Xiaobei heard it first from Li Ming, deputy director of the Second Secretariat.
"Xiao Bei, have you heard the gossip outside?"
Zhao Xiaobei asked in confusion: "What kind of gossip?"
"I also heard from a friend of the Commission for Discipline Inspection that someone is reporting that Secretary-General Xia has lost state-owned assets and sold them at a low price during the restructuring of Guofu Mine. He was the mayor at the time, and it was he who single-handedly promoted and presided over the state-owned assets. Restructuring of Mines.”
Zhao Xiaobei looked very surprised and said tentatively: "These are just some rumors. This matter has been going on for so long. If there is a problem, it didn't come out earlier. We have to wait until now."
"Didn't he serve as secretary of the municipal party committee before? Who dared to report him? It's different now. He's gone, and Ningzhou's officialdom has also undergone big changes, so those people from the Guofu Mine began to file complaints everywhere."
Zhao Xiaobei did not continue. He knew that these rumors could not be ruled out as being spread by Yu Xiangbo, or it might be a step taken by the leader in the whole incident.
Secretary-General Luo Shengli returned to his office after explaining Peng Jiasheng's work arrangements for the day. He looked up at Peng Jiasheng and found that he was no different from before.
Zhao Xiaobei thought for a long time whether he should tell the boss about this rumor. But what he was thinking about was that the leader might have known about it for a long time, and he didn't want to do anything unnecessary. But he also thought that as a secretary, wasn't he the intermediate station for the leader to contact him, and he was responsible for a large part of the intelligence collection below. .
So I made up my mind and walked to Peng Jiasheng's office with the documents in hand. Peng Jiasheng was reviewing documents and did not look up. When Zhao Xiaobei walked over and put the document in his hand on his desk, he raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xiaobei, and then continued to lower his head to approve the document.
Zhao Xiaobei didn't say anything, just stood quietly next to Peng Jiasheng. After Peng Jiasheng finished giving instructions, he looked up and saw Zhao Xiaobei still standing next to him, so he asked, "Why, is there anything else?"
When Zhao Xiaobei heard the leader's question, he answered: "Leader, I heard a piece of news."
Peng Jiasheng asked normally: "What's the news?"
"I heard that many people have signed a petition to accuse Xia Xihua of corruption, accepting bribes and trading power for money during the restructuring process of Guofu Mine."
"Oh. What do you think?" Peng Jiasheng's question caught Zhao Xiaobei off guard. He did not expect that Peng Jiasheng would ask him what he thought of this gossip. Because others don't know, but Peng Jiasheng and himself know that Xia Xihua must have problems in this restructuring process.
"I personally feel that this will happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon. Because the personnel adjustment has just passed, reports are flying all over the place now. Everyone can smell it."
Peng Jiasheng waited for Zhao Xiaobei to finish, then said: "Do you think my actions can be hidden from others? It's just that all my actions are a conspiracy, and he has no means to break the situation. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about me. Intention. Xiaobei actually has no secrets at our level. People must know why I spared no effort to promote Lin Guoan to the position. These are all for the position he will leave after his promotion. And why is Xia Xihua taking over? Do you think they Do you want him to take over?"
"I really don't want to think about it, but there is no other way. Xia Xihua has already served as mayor and municipal party committee secretary in Ningzhou. According to organizational requirements, a leading cadre cannot be the top leader in one place for a long time. So he had to leave, and I found another one for him. They have been promoted to a half-level official position. So these are things they have no way to break. The only one is to stop Lin Guoan's progress, but do you think Governor Liu Guanghui and Comrade Lin Guoan will agree?"
"So this is all a conspiracy, and there is no way to break it. This is also a move I made after seeing the political structure of Yueshan Province with two factions and three forces. This is just the beginning, and the real contest has just begun."
Zhao Xiaobei was very emotional, and he also saw the competition at Peng Jiasheng's level, which was the competition for the official positions below. What their leaders at the provincial and ministerial levels need to consider is how to hold on to their official positions below. Because your own governing philosophy and intentions need to be transmitted level by level in this way. If the people in the position are not your own, then no matter how good the policies and methods are, the work will not be carried out.
Therefore, Peng Jiasheng had been planning for several months to take up the post of executive vice governor of Yueshan Province by sending Yu Xiangbo and Ji Xiaofu to higher official positions to open up the work situation.
"But Xiaobei, don't think that just relying on these few reports can lift the lid. We don't have the ability to do so now. They won't leave too many loopholes for us to check, even if If there are loopholes, we may not be able to find anything. After all, this is not our job. So our next step is to win the support of Secretary Zhang again, or to expand our lineup. At the same time, letting them know is to make them anxious, and it depends on them Will there be any chance in the chaos?"
What Peng Jiasheng said was from the bottom of his heart, and he was also teaching Zhao Xiaobei his experience in officialdom struggle. Zhao Xiaobei also understood why every time there was a corrupt official to be investigated and punished, there would be rumors all over the sky.
