Name: My father Yuan Mu

So, on the morning of this day, just one week after the last Standing Committee meeting, Handong Province held another Standing Committee meeting, which had never happened before.

After all, each member of the Standing Committee is in charge of a specific task. If you hold meetings too frequently, who will have the time?

For example, today is a very good opportunity. The Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Li Zijin, went to Kyoto, and the number of members of the Standing Committee became twelve. There is one less person on Wen Huarong's side, which is a very good opportunity for Yuan Mu.

In fact, he would not be afraid even if Li Zijin was here, because he was right in today's matter. It was not like the mayor of Luzhou who had many reasons. It was a foregone conclusion that Tang Gangyi violated the orders of his superiors and abused his power.

If Yuan Mu had not intervened, Zhao Lichun could have easily gotten over it with just one sentence, but today he was not so lucky.

As soon as the meeting began, Yuan Mu submitted a large amount of information, all of which pointed to Tang Gangyi's abuse of public office and violent law enforcement.

As soon as these materials appeared, everyone present was in an uproar. Even the people from Wen Huarong's faction were very surprised because they didn't know about this matter. However, they did not express their opinions. After all, Wen Huarong didn't say anything.

As soon as Yuan Mu finished his work, Liang Qunfeng, the part-time Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, started.

"As the director of the Jingdu Public Security Bureau, Tang Gangyi refused to obey orders from his superiors and forcibly broke into and searched the Shake-A-Shake Restaurant, owned by local entrepreneur Mr. Niu Dali, without a search warrant, causing Mr. Niu significant financial and reputational damage."

"As the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I scoff at this abuse of justice. What kind of behavior is this? How despicable! Everyone knows that Mr. Niu Dali is a well-known local entrepreneur. How much tax revenue has he brought to Handong?"

"You just searched when you said you would? Most importantly, you searched without any evidence at all. This is extremely bad! We are servants of the people, not bandits!"

"Based on the above, as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province, I formally recommend that Comrade Tang Gangyi be removed from his position as Director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau!"

Everyone present gasped. It wasn't because they thought Liang Qunfeng was cruel, but they were all very shocked at why he rushed so fiercely.

They all knew that today's Standing Committee meeting was proposed by Yuan Mu in order to take the position of Director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and let his own people take the position. Although Liang Qunfeng had helped Yuan Mu twice before, he would not completely turn to the other side, right?

Even the people on Yuan Mu's side looked at him in disbelief, while Yuan Mu himself had a confident smile on his face.

The reason why Liang Qunfeng acted like this was that he had a long talk with the other party three days ago in the No. 1 private room of the Yao-A-Yao Hotel. The two chatted for more than four hours.

This time, Yuan Mu suffered a heavy loss. In order to protect his own interests, he promised the other party that he would not let him retire to the second line during the change of term, but would continue to work on the front line. In other words, Liang Qunfeng could work in this position until retirement.

Originally, Liang Qunfeng thought that he was going to retire, so he was not so interested in some things in officialdom. What he cared about most was the issue of his descendants. The first two promises made by Yuan Mu were about his descendants.

But every time Yuan Mu promised the other party, he would make it clear that if the other party did something illegal or criminal, he would not care. What he promised was nothing more than two favors, which Liang Qunfeng had never used and planned to use for his own children.

But this time, the conditions proposed by Yuan Mu made him unable to refuse. You know, after retiring to the second line, there will be no possibility of promotion. However, if he can still work in front of the stage for another term, then it is not impossible for him to make further progress.

If he could take one more step forward and be promoted to the ministerial level before the age of 65, he could extend his political life by another five years. In officialdom, age is a treasure, and even one year is very precious because you don't know what will happen in that year.

Of course, Liang Qunfeng did not doubt Yuan Mu's ability because he knew Yuan Mu's background, otherwise he would not have completely turned to Yuan Mu.

Perhaps Wen Huarong could do this, but Liang Qunfeng didn't dare to gamble. In official circles, the most taboo thing is to jump back and forth. He had already betrayed Wen Huarong several times before. Even if he surrendered now, the other party might not necessarily help him.

Even if he agreed superficially, it was not certain whether he would do it in the future. Compared with Wen Huarong, he was more optimistic about Yuan Mu's future, not for anything else, but simply because he respected his age, a 40-year-old member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee!

The above reasons made Liang Qunfeng completely change his attitude. In Handong, you will have to take sides sooner or later. If you don't take sides and keep jumping between the two sides, sooner or later you will be squeezed out by the two forces, and it is not impossible for you to retire early.

Maybe others can't do it, but Yuan Mu and Wen Huarong definitely can. This is the confidence that comes with having a background.

This time, I am acting as a vanguard to show my loyalty to Yuan Mu, proving that I have officially sided with you. Please don't forget what you said.

For Yuan Mu, what he cares about most now is the dominance of Handong. He is fully capable of doing what Liang Qunfeng did. As long as he can get the dominance of Handong, everything will not be a problem.

For people like him and Wen Huarong, whoever can gain the upper hand can control Handong!

This is not an exaggeration at all. Some people may think that Yuan Mu is just a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Why should he go against the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee? Especially in this era when the top leader has absolute ruling power.

But that is what is said to others. People at their level look at problems from many perspectives. The family can provide little help when the two sides are fighting because they are all restraining each other. Now it depends on each other's ability. If you have the ability, you have the final say. If you don't have the ability, just stand aside.

Wen Huarong's face looked very ugly at this time. He had also talked to Liang Qunfeng in the past few days, but the other party's attitude was always ambiguous. Today he finally understood that his deputy secretary had completely turned to his mortal enemy.

"Deputy Secretary Liang, how can the situation be as serious as you say? Tang Gangyi went to search the restaurant under my order because a very serious intentional injury incident occurred at the Shake-Ya Shake Restaurant. Disobeying orders from a superior is absurd."

"Deputy Secretary Liang, we can't deny our cadres just because of some rumors. Wouldn't that be too disheartening for our comrades?" At this time, Zhao Lichun spoke up. He had to speak up. If he didn't speak up, Tang Gangyi would have to step down.
