Kang Yong, as expected of the organization committee member, spoke eloquently and knowledgeably about organizational work, and his recommendations for Tian Hong were all well-founded and supported by evidence.
Zhou Jianzhong had already told Li Xiuyuan about Tian Hong and Kang Yong's connection. Li Xiuyuan wasn't surprised at this point, but he glanced at Zhang Xingguo and guessed that Zhang Xingguo was definitely unwilling, but this was a bit too hasty.
As soon as Kang Yong finished speaking, Ma Tao, a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, chimed in, expressing his support for Tian Hong. This was also Zhang Xingguo's intention; they wanted to seize the initiative from the outset, to project a strong enough presence to silence Li Xiuyuan and settle the matter without any ripples.
With two town party committee members speaking up in succession, plus Zhang Xingguo's support, at this point in previous town party committee meetings, the matter was considered to be pretty much settled.
Zhang Xingguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. At this time, smoking was common at various meetings, not as strictly enforced as in later years. Especially now that the meeting had been going on for two hours, everyone was a little tired.
But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan spoke up, directly addressing Ma Tao: "Committee Member Ma, you are a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission. If you support Tian Hong, then putting aside his ability, Tian Hong is certainly not in question in terms of integrity and incorruptibility."
After all, last year, the Tian brothers, Tian Zhijun and Tian Zhiyuan, along with the former village director and accountant, were all swept away. The fact that this deputy secretary surnamed Tian was left alive means he's definitely not a problem with integrity. Otherwise, as a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, you should at least have some information on him, right?
As soon as Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, a soft laugh rang out in the conference room, and Ma Tao's face instantly turned bright red.
When it comes to hermaphrodites, Li Xiuyuan definitely has a lot to say. On the surface, his words seem to support Ma Tao's opinion, but in reality, the meaning is all too obvious; it's no different from pointing a finger at Ma Tao and cursing him.
It's one thing if someone else recommends you, but you, Ma Tao, still have the nerve to speak? Last year, a huge problem occurred in the central town, and you, Ma Tao, a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, didn't discover it at all. It was all thanks to the county arresting people. What the hell are you doing?
How dare you stand up and support others now?
Ma Tao's face turned a deep purplish-red, and Kang Yong's face was also pale. Li Xiuyuan's words had dragged him into the mess as well, because he didn't know whether Tian Hong was clean or not, but he himself was not clean, and Tian Hong had brought things to his house.
"Li Xiuyuan, what do you mean?" Ma Tao was trembling with anger. He didn't think he had much of a problem with Li Xiuyuan. Usually when he was with Kang Yong and Zhang Xingguo, it was Kang Yong and Zhang Xingguo who were the ones criticizing Li Xiuyuan. He had hardly ever criticized him. But Li Xiuyuan had attacked him so harshly at the meeting.
To make such sarcastic remarks in front of so many people.
"What do you mean, Committee Member Ma? You bear the main responsibility for what happened to Tian Zhijun and his brother last year. The county attached such importance to the project, which was located in the central town, but you, as a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, did not supervise it at all, causing such a huge mess. Don't you bear any responsibility?" Li Xiuyuan was not going to tolerate Ma Tao at all. These past two days, looking at the million-dollar hole, Li Xiuyuan wanted to curse.
"I...you..." Ma Tao panicked, opened his mouth, wanting to explain, could this be his fault? He could say that Secretary Zhang Xingguo was the one primarily responsible for this project, but he couldn't say that.
When there are benefits to be had, he, as a member of the disciplinary committee, is not involved; but when it comes to taking the blame, he becomes the one to shoulder the responsibility.
