At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

Chapter 632 Karma Comes Quickly! After the meeting, the Fourteenth Inspection Team drafted a work plan in accordance with the spirit of the meeting.

Lin Yi, carrying the work plan, went to see Executive Deputy Secretary Chen Hai again.

Although both Wang Hongtao and Chen Hai held the position of deputy head of the inspection work leading group, the leading group's office was located in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, with Chen Hai primarily in charge.

As for Qi Shi, who served as the leader of the leading group, he only listened to reports during the inspection and reporting phase, and then discussed with Wang Hongtao and Chen Hai which people needed to be investigated and prosecuted; this was considered decision-making.

"Secretary Chen, the work plan for our 14th inspection team is ready. Please take a look." After being led into Chen Hai's office by his secretary, Lin Yi refilled Chen Hai's teacup with water and handed him the work plan.

"Okay, please have a seat, I'll take a look."

Chen Hai took the work plan, gestured for Lin Yi to sit in the chair opposite him, and then began to carefully review it.

A moment later, Chen Hai put down the paper plan and asked, "Comrade Lin Yi, I saw in your plan that you need to consult Shen Wancai of Hengyuan Real Estate Group?"

"Yes, Secretary Chen." Lin Yi nodded.

Chen Hai said, "Comrade Lin Yi, Shen Wancai is a private entrepreneur. When you ask him questions, you should pay attention to your methods and ensure that the entire inquiry process is legal and compliant. At the same time, the content of your inquiries should be limited to issues related to Tian Yong."

"Okay, Secretary Chen."

Lin Yi nodded again, but he was puzzled. Not only did Secretary Chen know Shen Wancai, but he also specifically reminded him to be careful about the extent of his inquiries about Shen Wancai. What did that mean?

Is it because Shen Wancai has too strong a connection?

is there any other reason?

"The work plan is generally fine. Let's proceed according to the plan. Also, go to the inspection office to file it." Chen Hai did not raise any further objections.

"Thank you, Secretary Chen. You're busy now."

Lin Yi expressed his gratitude and then contacted the director of the leading group office to file the work plan.

After doing all this, Lin Yi went to the office of Deputy Secretary Fu Ming.

"Brother Fu, I just went to report the plan to Secretary Chen..."

Lin Yi told Fu Ming about the issue Chen Hai had just raised regarding Shen Wancai, and then asked, "Brother Fu, what do you think Secretary Chen meant?"

“Xiao Yi, I think Secretary Chen meant two things. First, Shen Wancai is a private entrepreneur, and Hengyuan Group is a private enterprise. Even if Hengyuan Group really has some problems, the Central Inspection Team shouldn't investigate it. So he reminded you not only to be legal and compliant, but also to ask the inspection team to only question Shen Wancai about Tian Yong. Otherwise, it's easy to be accused of overstepping boundaries and getting into trouble.”

Fu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Secondly, I think it's related to your previous efforts in promoting the shantytown renovation project and the real estate reform pilot program. The higher-ups appointed you as the leader of the 14th inspection team, leading an inspection of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The purpose is self-evident, and everyone can see it. Under such circumstances, it's fine for the inspection team to point out the problems of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development during the inspection process, thereby providing assistance for the reform. But if you use the opportunity of the inspection to investigate and punish a private enterprise to promote this work, it's easy for others to use this as an excuse to make trouble."

"That's it."

Lin Yi frowned. He had originally intended to use this opportunity to investigate Hengyuan Group, but it seemed difficult to implement at present.

"Of course, there could be other reasons. Why don't you ask a few more people?"

Fu Ming knew very well that Lin Yi's father-in-law and those uncles had a much broader perspective than he did, and might be able to see other problems.

Lin Yi thought it made sense, so after returning to the hotel, he called Wang Hongtao and explained the situation.

Wang Hongtao said, "Xiao Yi, Secretary Yang specifically reminded you that besides the two reasons Xiao Fu mentioned, there is another deeper reason."

"Uncle Wang, what's the reason?" Lin Yi asked.

"Leaving aside the inspection team's responsibilities and whether they have the authority to investigate Hengyuan Group, as one of the largest private real estate companies in the country, Hengyuan Group has enormous assets, involving local governments and the banking system, as well as the upstream and downstream industrial chains of real estate. The scope is too wide. Even if there are problems to be investigated, a detailed plan must be formulated first before the investigation can proceed. Doing this work takes time, and the inspection team only has two months to complete its work, so it's definitely not enough time," Wang Hongtao reminded.

"Uncle Wang, I understand."

Lin Yi's heart stirred; he understood the hidden meaning in Wang Hongtao's words and the reason behind them.

“Xiao Yi, since the higher-ups have appointed you as the leader of the 14th inspection team to lead the inspection of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and investigate Tian Yong, they have naturally taken the Hengyuan Group issue into consideration. Don’t rush this; there will be further arrangements after your inspection work is completed,” Wang Hongtao reminded him again.

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

Lin Yi's heart stirred, realizing that his flapping of the butterfly's wings had ultimately affected many things.

In the previous life, Hengyuan Group only ran into trouble after the "three red lines" policy for real estate was introduced.

In this life, through various means, I promoted independent technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and economic transformation many years ahead of schedule. The economy's dependence on real estate has decreased, making it easier for the higher authorities to make a decision.

His success in carrying out the pilot project of shantytown renovation and real estate reform in Ninghai further strengthened the determination of the higher authorities. Otherwise, they would not have tacitly allowed him to speak at the National Shantytown Renovation Work Conference and appointed him as the leader of the Fourteenth Inspection Team.

What Lin Yi didn't know was that even in his previous life, the higher-ups had made a decision and arrangements two years later, but due to external events, the plan was ruined.

Of course, this is a secret. Given Lin Yi's identity in his previous life, it would be absolutely impossible for him to know, and since the policy has not been officially released, it is impossible to deduce it!

Two days later.

The mobilization meeting for the tenth round of central inspections was held. Qi Shi, Chen Hai, and Wang Hongtao attended the meeting and delivered speeches, outlining requirements for this round of inspections.

Following the mobilization meeting, this round of inspections officially commenced.

Lin Yi led the 14th inspection team to officially enter the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

Hu Jun, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, along with Vice Minister Xu Tao and the Director of the General Office, specially greeted Lin Yi and his delegation in front of the office building.

"Team Leader Lin, welcome to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the comrades of the Fourteenth Inspection Team for their work guidance!"

Hu Jun took the initiative to greet Lin Yi, seemingly with a warm welcome, but it was actually very hypocritical—if possible, no leader would want their unit to be inspected!

Moreover, everyone knows that Lin Yi's purpose in leading the inspection team to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is to "chop people up"!

"Minister Hu, it's not a matter of guidance. We will work together and cooperate to complete the tasks assigned by the organization!" Lin Yi's expression was calm, neither enthusiastic nor aggressive.

After he finished speaking, Lin Yi introduced the staff of the 14th Inspection Team, and Hu Jun shook hands with Gu Ben and others in turn.

After finishing all this, Hu Jun asked Lin Yi for his opinion: "Team Leader Lin, shall I accompany you and your comrades to the reception room for some tea?"

"No need, Minister Hu, let's go straight to the conference room," Lin Yi refused Hu Jun's request.

"Okay, Team Leader Lin."

Hu Jun nodded, but his heart was filled with unease.

He invited Lin Yi and others for tea, not for the tea itself, but to use this incident to judge Lin Yi's attitude—whether he was there for Tian Yong or for the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development!

Judging from Lin Yi's attitude, the latter is more likely!

Although he was not involved in Tian Yong's mess, if Lin Yi attributed Tian Yong's problem to the entire Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, then Minister Hu Jun would bear an unshirkable responsibility!

A few minutes later, when Lin Yi led his team into the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development's conference room, all the other members of the Ministry's Party Leadership Group, including Tian Yong, were present.

When Tian Yong and the others saw Lin Yi enter, they all stood up to greet him, showing their respect for Lin Yi and the Fourteenth Inspection Team!

Lin Yi did not shake hands with Tian Yong and the others, but led Kong Zhao and the others directly to the opposite side and took their seats according to the nameplates.

As the host, Hu Jun began introducing the leadership team members to Lin Yi: "Team Leader Lin, this is Deputy Minister Tian Yong, who is in charge of..."

"Minister Hu, there's no need to introduce Minister Tian. I know him very well."

Lin Yi interrupted Hu Jun, then smiled slightly at Tian Yong, "Isn't that right, Minister Tian?"

"Yes, Team Leader Lin."

Tian Yong felt a chill run down his spine, and the smile on his face looked even more like a grimace!

Not long ago.

He accompanied Fang Yongchang on a research trip to Southeast Province, where he made outrageous remarks at a symposium. He used Fang Yongchang's name to strongly criticize and deny Lin Yi's work on shantytown renovation and real estate reform, forcing the Southeast Provincial Party Committee to back down!

Nowadays.

Lin Yi, as the leader of the 14th Central Inspection Team, led the team to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to carry out inspection work. His first words upon meeting Minister Tian were, "I am very familiar with Minister Tian," which was tantamount to indirectly announcing in public: "I am determined to behead Tian Yong!"

Who agrees? Who objects?
