Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Secretary Li Jinzheng stood respectfully at the side. Upon hearing the chief's question, he answered, "Boss, I don't think he has any chance of winning. Deputy Secretary Ouyang and Deputy Secretary Sheng will be back this afternoon. As long as the meeting is postponed to tomorrow, there will be no problem."

"Okay, then you notify Director Wang to hold a standing committee meeting at 9 a.m. tomorrow to discuss Hua Pengtao's issue." Lu Guodong said in a deep voice, and it was obvious that he also agreed with Li Jin's point of view.

This news was quickly spread and soon spread throughout the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Many people began to look forward to it. Although everyone believed that there was no suspense about the outcome of this meeting, many people were still looking forward to someone daring to take action against Lu's people here.

This matter spread quickly from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and in just one day, the major central departments and some leaders knew about it. However, everyone's reaction was the same, that is, no one expressed any opinions or comments on this matter. Obviously, everyone knew the significance of this matter, and no one wanted to participate in this incident for no reason. However, no one expressed any opinions on this matter, which does not mean that no one paid attention to it. On the contrary, the fact is that there are turbulent undercurrents.

It was just one day, and the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was held as usual at nine o'clock the next morning.

Under normal circumstances, if the CCDI Standing Committee is used, the discussion will be at least at the ministerial level or above, and at the very least at the deputy ministerial level. Hua Pengtao is just a deputy director of the office at the level of a bureau chief, so there is no need for such a big event. Coincidentally, this person is a cadre of the CCDI, and the case he is involved in is the most difficult case of the CCDI at present. Therefore, in the spirit of not airing family disgrace in public, and also to give an explanation to all parties, the Standing Committee was convened to discuss the issue of a bureau chief-level cadre.

In addition to the one secretary, eight vice secretaries and nine other secretaries of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, there was also the Director of the General Office, Comrade Wang Zerong, who was there to listen and take notes. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Standing Committee meeting was a very formal matter, and it had to be submitted to the central government for record, so it had to be cautious and careful.

The meeting was chaired by Comrade Lu Guodong, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Bureau and Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Picking up the document on the table, Comrade Lu Guodong said, "I believe that you all have a copy of this document in my hand. This matter may seem unimportant, but its actual significance is completely the opposite. From the overall perspective, this is a model of the obedience consciousness of our party cadres and how the relationship between comrades should be handled. I think it is necessary to discuss it. Now, please tell us your views."

After only a brief discussion on the significance of the matter, Comrade Lu Guodong handed over the right to speak. Since a special meeting was held to discuss such an issue, he couldn't have said that this was a small problem. If so, what was the point of holding a Standing Committee meeting to discuss it?

In fact, in a sense, Lu Guodong did not talk much about this matter, but just said a few words, which has already made his opinion clear.

As soon as Lu Guodong finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. In a conversation involving positions, no one wanted to be the first to express their opinions, because no one knew each other's thoughts. If you rashly express your opinions and then say the wrong thing or express the wrong meaning, wouldn't you suffer a great loss? zz, especially zz at a higher level, can't afford to be careless or careless.

The silence in the meeting hall lasted for ten minutes. During this period, some people were looking down at documents, some were drinking tea, and some were staring at the desk in front of them, as if they could see a bright future from here. Some were even dozing off. For example, the third deputy secretary, Comrade Xing Wensheng, deputy director of the General Political Department and secretary of the Military Commission’s Discipline Inspection Commission, was like this. He looked completely indifferent and unconcerned.

Well, as a member of the military system, he generally does not interrupt local work, and this is the rule he has always adhered to. Because of this, it can be said that he has a good relationship with several leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and is completely like a good guy.

Ten minutes of silence made the atmosphere in the meeting hall more solemn. Seeing that the time was almost up, Comrade Lu Guodong coughed. Since no one was speaking, he would call the roll. He immediately pointed to his first deputy, Qu Guiyi, Secretary of the Central Secretariat and Executive Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and said, "Comrade Guiyi, since no one is speaking, you, as the first deputy secretary, should make a statement first."

After being called, Qu Guiyi could no longer remain silent. He first looked up and nodded at Lu Guodong, then swept his eyes over the people present one by one. This action took about two minutes. When he saw each person, he tried to stop for a few seconds to show his respect for that person. Then, when he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he started to speak.

"Comrades, I just read the complaint written by Comrade Feng Sizhe. To be honest, I was very surprised when I first read it. As a department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, we can be said to be a model for all departments across the country to strictly abide by laws and regulations. It is said that our cadres should know what it means to obey the leadership and what it means to follow orders. But why does this kind of thing still happen here? I wonder if there is any misunderstanding?"

When Qu Guiyi came up and said the matter was so serious, both Deputy Secretary Ouyang Ling and Deputy Secretary Sheng Shike looked gloomy. What did Qu Guiyi mean? Was he trying to put a big accusation on them? It was not until they heard this person talk about whether there was a misunderstanding that their faces slowly relaxed. It turned out that he was playing a trick of starting with a big start but ending with a small one. He was just trying to smooth things over. He was saying that this kind of thing should not happen within the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Well, Comrade Guiyi, please continue." Obviously, Comrade Lu Guodong also agreed with this statement. He encouraged Qu Guiyi to continue. As his first deputy, a member of the Central Secretariat, and one of the vice-state leaders, if he agrees with him, then the others can only follow suit. After all, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau and a member of the Secretariat is not something that any deputy secretary can afford to offend.

After being encouraged by Lu Guodong, Qu Guiyi nodded and smiled at him, as if responding to something. "Well, let me continue what I was saying just now. When something like this happened, I was wondering if it was a misunderstanding?" At this point, he even smiled to himself. This smile was full of weirdness and difference, but everyone was listening carefully and no one paid attention.

"No, this is not a misunderstanding." Qu Guiyi suddenly denied his previous opinion and suddenly changed the tone of the words.

"Why do you say this is not a misunderstanding? Because since our Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Standing Committee can convene a meeting for this issue, it has already explained the problem. It shows that this matter is well-founded. Otherwise, it would be a joke for everyone to hold a meeting here to study whether something really happened or not. Wouldn't it be saying that the leaders of our Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have nothing to do and can only bring up some unfounded things here?" As if answering himself, Qu Guiyi continued with the following words.

Once these words were spoken, it was like throwing a stone into the calm water, splashing up waves.

No one had ever thought that this was what Qu Guiyi meant in the end. If this was the case, then he should be advocating severe punishment for Hua Pengtao. After all, he himself said that this matter could not be a misunderstanding. Then, using dialectics, it can only be true. If it is true, the subordinate disobeyed his superior and even boasted that his superior was going to be finished. Based on this, it would not be excessive to deal with Hua Pengtao in any way.

The meeting was originally quite peaceful, but because of Qu Guiyi's words, the meeting room became no longer quiet. Especially the secretary Lu Guodong, his face looked a little ugly. He originally thought that Qu Guiyi didn't care about his face and spoke to Hua Pengtao, at least he would not speak in favor of Feng Sizhe. As long as this person didn't express his opinion, his people, Ouyang Ling and Sheng Shike, could speak. At that time, the overall situation would be settled, and everything would be ok. In fact, he did think about letting these two people speak first, but he thought that this meeting would definitely attract the attention of other central leaders. He didn't want others to say that he was a one-man show, so he asked people who were not his own to speak first, but he didn't expect this result.

At this moment, Lu Guodong felt a little regretful. But there was no regret medicine in the world, and he was helpless.

"Well, I'd like to hear Vice Secretary Qu's speech. As the Minister of the Supervision Department, I am very unhappy with this kind of behavior of rebellion and disrespect for leaders. It has to be said that Hua Pengtao has indeed gone too far. It's no wonder that Comrade Feng Sizhe left Shaanxi Province and returned to the ministry in a fit of anger. If it were me, I would do the same." Following Qu Guiyi's speech, Chen Cui, the second deputy secretary and the only female deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, also expressed her opinions and views. Needless to say, she also spoke for Feng Sizhe.

"Yes, every country has its own laws and every family has its own rules. I also think that Comrade Hua Pengtao's approach is extremely inappropriate and should be dealt with accordingly." Jiang Shaoping, the deputy secretary in charge of the regulations office, also took the opportunity to express his opinion.

"Yes, as party cadres, we must have our own charter. I think any comrade who violates this charter must be dealt with appropriately." Also from his own work perspective, Deputy Secretary Zhou Wei, who is in charge of the Cadre Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, also expressed his support.
