Chapter Twelve: Orders Issued Like Mountains

  When Zhou Qiball was making a big dream of bringing Wang Dagui into his own account while rejoicing, another thing that he did not expect was quietly proceeding. This is Wang Puchu secretly collecting his corruption problems. At this time, Wang Puchu's surface is very low-key, doing deputy work in the highway department, and he seems to be more handy, or from a law enforcement perspective, more single-minded, and also more leisurely.

  Director Jiang Tai of the Highway Bureau, a traditional administrative leader, always does things with a strong tone and maintains his authority. Wang Pu was transferred passively and didn't know much about Director Jiang. As someone who never had high expectations for power, he usually just followed normal working procedures, reporting when needed and going to the grassroots level when required.

  Wang Pu's current main task is to dive down and play mahjong with retired old cadres, which seems like a decadent behavior. However, it has caused numbness in Zhou Qiball's mind, who thinks Wang Pu is too soft and has not been tough enough on him. At first, Zhou Qiball was not quite sure, but later Jiang Tai came to report to him that Wang Pu often played mahjong, had an improper style, and was not suitable for staying in a leadership position.

  This is the result that Zhou Qibiao most wants to see, as long as Wang Puchu doesn't want to rebel against him, this matter isn't a small thing at all, let alone Wang Puchu plays two-mao mahjong. It's really hard to get anywhere with such a high-handed approach.

  Zhou Qibao comforted Jiang Tai, saying: "Young cadres have a lot of work pressure, playing mahjong is also a way to release emotions, it's not a big deal. Moreover, I sometimes play mahjong with my brothers to communicate our feelings. Do you say this is against the law?"

  Zhou Qiball actually started to clear Wang Pu's name of crime.

  This matter was beyond Jiang Tai's expectation. This kind of old politician would only kick a man when he is down, thinking that Zhou Qiball had put Wang Puchu in the highway department, but actually wanted to send him to his death. He thought he could take advantage of the situation and curry favor with Zhou Qiball, but never expected to end up slapping himself in the face.

  "How dare, how dare! Secretary has devoted himself to the party's cause with all his heart and soul, truly a model for the whole county. We must all learn from him!" Jiang Tai smiled awkwardly, his chubby face gleaming with oil, revealing multiple wrinkles in an instant.

  "Alright! Old Ginger, don't bother with that kid's affairs anymore. Focus on your work!" Zhou Qiball showed impatience. Perhaps even a corrupt official like Zhou Qiball didn't think highly of such an old politician.

  At this time, the Changning Municipal Party Committee was holding an enlarged meeting of the municipal party committee. The meeting decided that Zhou Zheng would serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Changning Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, and report to the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission. Chang Yunlai was proposed to be adjusted to Vice Chairman of the Changning Municipal Political Consultative Conference, while Wang Dagui was transferred to the municipal party committee office as deputy secretary-general in charge of work.

  Upon learning of the municipal party committee's appointment, Zhou Qiball was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He had not expected Jiang Feng to take control of the situation so quickly, but at the same time, Zhou Qiball felt that it didn't matter because his powerful backer Liao Chunsheng remained firmly in place. As long as the big tree didn't fall, he wasn't afraid of Jiang Feng, even though he was the main leader of Changning City.

  On the same day, Zhou Zheng convened a special meeting of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. At the meeting, Zhou Zheng emphasized three points of work opinions: First, raise awareness and strengthen professional learning in discipline inspection and supervision; Second, strengthen organizational leadership and effectively let young cadres quickly fill important positions; Third, anti-corruption work should be carried out in depth to form a joint effort.

  After the meeting, Zhou Zheng replaced a batch of lazy and bureaucratic leaders with hot-blooded young discipline inspection officials and equipped them with technically proficient discipline inspection officials.

  Zhou Zheng's actions were like a raging fire, burning fiercely.

  The cadres below also instantly felt a sense of tension, everyone was calculating and weighing, working with trepidation.

  Every week, thoroughly inspect each municipal agency and unit, openly and secretly, to discover leading cadres with improper work styles or who slack off during work hours. Deal with them immediately upon discovery. Begin a city-wide campaign to strengthen work style construction and carry out a major rectification.

  One day, Zhou Zheng and his group went to the southern district committee of the city for a secret visit. The office building of the southern district committee was a new-style 90s building with a beautiful environment. The district committee building stood in the south, with a relatively large fountain square in the middle, surrounded by green trees, and people coming and going shuttled through it.

  At this time, Zhou Zheng arrived at the office of the Secretary of the Ningnan District Committee. Perhaps because no one came to visit at this time, Secretary Qian Shengjun was sitting in front of the computer watching a popular movie "Past Life and Present Life" at that time. He was infatuated with the actress Ye Xiaoqian who played the female lead in the movie and was watching it with great interest. At this time, Zhou Zheng and his group arrived, but Qian Shengjun was completely unaware of their presence.

  Zhou Zheng didn't rush, gesturing to Little Li holding the camera to slowly approach and give Qian Shengjun a big close-up shot. Qian Shengjun's ugly expression with his mouth agape was recorded by the camera from start to finish.

  When Qian Shengjun realized that Zhou Zheng and his gang had arrived, he was so frightened that his soul left his body.

  "Director Zhou, you... when did you arrive?" Qian Shengjun, a young leading cadre with excellent eloquence, stuttered at this moment.

  "Hey, you just got here, what are you looking at? You're so into it."

  "Secretary Zhou, sorry about that. I was just bored and watching a popular movie that's currently airing." Qian Shengjun replied calmly.

  "What is the current time? Tell me accurately." Zhou Zheng said sternly.

  Qian Shengjun glanced at his scratched watch and replied in a low voice: "Ten thirty."

  "Alright, 10:30. Comrades, please take note. Secretary Qian will be watching a movie in his office at 10:30." Zhou Zheng arranged for his subordinates to make on-site records and asked Qian Shengjun to sign.

  Qian Shengjun looked up at Zhou Zheng, who had a serious expression, stern but not angry. Qian Shengjun could only sign the on-site inspection form of the Discipline Inspection Commission with a trembling hand.

  Zhou Zheng and his team inspected the entire office building one after another, and found that typists were watching videos, while clerks were playing games. They were all videotaped and signed for. After Zhou Zheng and his team finished their inspection, they returned to the Discipline Inspection Committee with a bountiful harvest.

  Qian Shengjun is none other than the nephew of Liao Chunsheng, the head of the Provincial United Front Department. He graduated from Sifang University and was introduced to politics by Liao Chunsheng himself back then.

  Qian Shengjun and Zhou Zheng's gang walked away, and he quickly called Liao Chunsheng. However, on the other end of the phone was the voice of Liao Chunsheng's secretary: "Director Liao is in a meeting, please call back later, okay?"

  On the way to the Discipline Inspection Commission, his subordinates were busy introducing Qian Shengjun's background to Zhou Zheng, saying that he was a relative of Provincial Standing Committee member Liao Chang. However, Zhou Zheng calmly said: "A prince who breaks the law should be punished like a commoner."

  Zhou Zheng said it is reasonable, no one can go beyond the law and system.

  Seeing Zhou Zheng's determination, the people below understood that this rectification was not a mere formality, but a real and thorough one. These kinds of people often look at the leader's face, so they naturally understand that everyone must follow the leadership closely now and strictly observe the Party's discipline.

  Back at the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhou Zheng reported the results of the investigation to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng was furious and immediately instructed: Handle it severely and strictly, show no mercy.

  Under the current high-pressure situation, it is actually under one's own eyes, especially for a district party secretary to be so indulgent, it is simply too disregarding of the municipal party committee's decision.

  Upon receiving Jiang Feng's reply, Zhou Zheng immediately organized personnel to draft a plan for handling the matter. As for the main leader who dared to defy orders, he was first suspended from his position. The disciplinary department would further investigate this leader who had been derelict in his duties to see if there were any other illegal or disciplinary issues. If no other problems were found, his performance would be evaluated again before deciding whether he should stay or leave.
