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

Lin Yi was the first to arrive at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee building.

After leaving Ding Wei's residence, he asked his driver, Yang Hua, to take him to the provincial party committee.

When Lin Yi arrived at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee building, the staff of the Provincial Party Committee General Office had already made preparations for the meeting.

With half an hour to go before the meeting started, Lin Yi went to his office in the Standing Committee building to drink tea and wait for the meeting to begin.

About ten minutes later, Governor Chu Xiangsen arrived at the Standing Committee building. After learning that Lin Yi had already arrived, he took the initiative to go to Lin Yi's office.

Upon seeing Chu Xiangsen, Lin Yi immediately stood up and warmly greeted him: "Governor, welcome to our work."

"Secretary Lin, I heard from Secretary Zheng Hua that your tea is delicious, so I came over to have a cup," Chu Xiangsen said with a smile.

The reason he took the initiative to find Lin Yi was because he knew that tonight's five-person group meeting was Lin Yi's second battle.

Of course, the more important reason was that the outcome of the important meeting made him feel that he needed to further strengthen his relationship with Lin Yi.

After all, Zhang Tongbin, who supported Lin Yi's work and successively served as the governor of Dongjiang Province, the secretary of the provincial party committee of Southeast Province, and the secretary of the provincial party committee of Jianghai Province, and protected Lin Yi all the way, has made progress again this time!

"Governor, please have a seat. I'll make you some tea."

Lin Yi gave his secretary a wink, signaling her to leave, and then personally made tea for Chu Xiangsen.

"Good tea."

Chu Xiangsen took a sip, praising it highly, then put down his teacup and said, "Lin Yi, Ding Wei convened a five-person meeting tonight to discuss how to handle Hou Guanghui's case. You must have reported the situation to him, right?"

"Yes, Governor."

"What's the specific situation?"

"Governor, it's like this..."

Lin Yi told Chu Xiangsen about Yao Wande's confession about Hou Guanghui.

Chu Xiangsen guessed Lin Yi's intention and secretly admired Lin Yi's brilliant move. He said, "Lin Yi, I firmly support your work and will be the first to express my support at the meeting!"

"Thank you, Governor."

Lin Yi expressed his gratitude.

Chu Xiangsen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need to thank me. Isn't it only right for an uncle to support his nephew's work?"

"Thank you, Uncle Chu!"

Lin Yi smiled slightly and quickly corrected his form of address to Chu Xiangsen.

Although he knew that Chu Xiangsen had taken the initiative to come to him because he wanted to get closer to him, he did not reject it.

Besides the fact that Chu Xiangsen was Zhong Xiaole's uncle, it was also because Chu Xiangsen had supported his work since he took office in Xiliang Province, instead of suddenly changing his attitude after important meetings.

At 9:57 p.m., Lin Yi entered the small conference room.

Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General Zhang Heng had already arrived. Upon seeing Lin Yi enter, he changed his usual indifferent attitude towards Lin Yi and took the initiative to stand up and greet him with a smile: "Secretary Lin has arrived."

"I'm sorry, Secretary-General, for adding extra work for you so late at night." Lin Yi smiled slightly.

Secretary-General Zhang Heng also smiled, but his smile was somewhat stiff.

Because he knew that Lin Yi was the real initiator of tonight's meeting.

Lin Yi made no attempt to hide this from him, and whether he was warning or giving him a warning or issuing an ultimatum, it was not a good thing for him!

After Lin Yi sat down, Wu Tao, the provincial organization minister, also arrived. Like Zhang Heng, he also took the initiative to greet Lin Yi, his face full of smiles. Anyone who didn't know them would think the two had a very good relationship.

Zhou Boyong, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, who arrived next, was much more enthusiastic towards Lin Yi than before.

As if overnight, everyone started treating Lin Yi with kindness and gentleness!

Only Ding Wei kept a straight face, looking like Lin Yi owed him tens of thousands of small goals!

"I apologize, comrades, for calling this meeting so late. Today's meeting will mainly discuss our proposed course of action regarding Comrade Guanghui."

Ding Wei, seated at the head of the table, first offered a polite apology, then explained the agenda for today's meeting, and finally looked at Lin Yi, saying, "Comrade Lin Yi, please report on Comrade Guanghui's issues."

"During the investigation and review by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of Yao Wand, former Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department and former Director of the Zhennan City Public Security Bureau, Yao Wand voluntarily reported some problems of Hou Guanghui and provided relevant clues and evidence. The specific details are as follows..."

Following Ding Wei's instructions, Lin Yi reported on Hou Guanghui's problems at the meeting and explained the relevant clues and evidence.

After the report, Lin Yi was the first to express his opinion: "Given that Hou Guanghui is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, which have severely damaged the political ecology of Zhennan City, I suggest that the Provincial Party Committee report Hou Guanghui's case to the Central Committee and request that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection conduct an investigation and review of Hou Guanghui!"

"I agree with Comrade Lin Yi's opinion."

Just as he had told Lin Yi in the office before, Chu Xiangsen was the first to stand up and express his support. "As Comrade Lin Yi said, Hou Guanghui, as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Zhennan Municipal Party Committee, abused his position to seek benefits for others in areas such as job promotions and illegally accepted huge amounts of money. This is tantamount to leading the way in damaging the political ecology of Zhennan City. The problems in the Zhennan Municipal Political and Legal System are the best example of how the top sets the example for the bottom!"

In addition, Hou Guanghui engaged in power-for-sex transactions and had improper relationships with dozens of women, which had a very negative impact!

It must be said that Chu Xiangsen was a shrewd man to become the governor. In his statement, he mentioned that Hou Guanghui had damaged the political ecology of Zhennan City and that Hou Guanghui had engaged in power-for-sex transactions, which was tantamount to hitting Hou Guanghui's Achilles' heel!

As expected, Ding Wei frowned instantly upon hearing Chu Xiangsen's statement.

Zhou Boyong, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, also had a glint in his eyes, knowing that Lin Yi and Chu Xiangsen had joined forces to put Hou Guanghui to death!

As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Boyong did not rush to express his opinion, but waited for Wu Tao, the provincial party committee's organization minister, to give his opinion first.

Wu Tao dared not express his opinion easily, but instead turned his gaze to Ding Wei, waiting for Ding Wei's hint.

As Ding Wei's confidant, he always acted as Ding Wei's "mouth substitute" at meetings, which had become a conditioned reflex.

however--

Before Ding Wei could give any hints, Lin Yi suddenly asked Wu Tao, "Comrade Wu Tao, you are in charge of organizational work. What's your opinion on Hou Guanghui's damage to the political environment of Zhennan City?"

“Comrade Lin Yi, Comrade Hou Guanghui is a cadre under the direct management of the Central Committee, not under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Party Committee’s Organization Department.” Upon hearing this, Wu Tao knew that Lin Yi was deliberately picking a fight. He was startled and tried to find an excuse to get away with it.

Like Ding Wei, he still refers to Hou Guanghui as "comrade," indicating that Hou Guanghui's case has not yet been determined!

Lin Yi then asked, "Comrade Wu Tao, do you mean you have no opinion?"

“Comrade Lin Yi, in your report just now you only reported on the problems of Comrade Hou Guanghui himself. I am not yet aware of the extent to which Comrade Hou Guanghui’s problems have affected the political ecology of Zhennan City, so I will not comment for the time being, but I agree with the meeting’s resolution.” Faced with Lin Yi’s persistent questioning, Wu Tao said with a forced smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tao suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.

Last month, when the five-person group met to discuss personnel issues, Lin Yi questioned why the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department did not consult the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Wu Tao cited the Provincial Party Committee's decision, leaving Lin Yi speechless and forced to agree to the meeting's resolution.

Now, Hou Guanghui's matter is like a boomerang hitting Wu Tao, or even more like a slap in the face.

The slap was silent, but it hurt terribly!

"Comrades, the Zhang Yang case has had a very negative impact. After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Public Security's supervisory team demanded rectification of existing problems. The Ministry of Public Security hasn't yet assigned anyone to inspect the rectification efforts, and now Hou Guanghui has run into trouble. The Provincial Party Committee should further strengthen its anti-corruption work. Therefore, I support Comrade Lin Yi's opinion!"

Just as Wu Tao felt he had been thoroughly humiliated by Lin Yi, Zhou Boyong, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, also spoke up. He not only unequivocally supported Lin Yi's opinion but also mentioned further strengthening anti-corruption efforts, essentially providing assistance for Lin Yi's next steps. It was a case of going all the way and showing great sincerity.

Lin Yi sensed Zhou Boyong's sincerity, glanced at Zhou Boyong, and expressed his gratitude with his eyes.

At the same time, Ding Wei, the provincial party secretary who had remained silent, said expressionlessly, "Comrades have just talked a lot, and they have all talked very well. Comrade Hou Guanghui's problem is of a serious nature and indeed needs to be reported to the Central Committee immediately."

"Secretary Ding, what's your opinion?"

Seeing that Ding Wei only mentioned reporting without expressing his attitude, Lin Yi directly pressured him at the meeting!

"Comrade Lin Yi, I also agree with your opinion. Given the seriousness of Comrade Hou Guanghui's problem, I suggest that we apply to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate and review Comrade Hou Guanghui's case!"

Forced into a corner, Ding Wei had no choice but to make a statement, feeling extremely uncomfortable, as if he had swallowed a greenbottle fly while eating.

because.

He was forced by Lin Yi to take up the sword of anti-corruption and personally cut down Hou Guanghui!

Doing so could potentially cause another rift in the alliance between the He and Hua families, leading to uncontrollable consequences.

But he had no choice.

If he doesn't execute Hou Guanghui, then the higher-ups will have a reason to execute him!
