In the evening, after Feng Yuxing took a shower, he did not take the initiative to chat with the cadres of Lingjiang.
He pushed open the window, and before him was the boundless night, with countless lights flashing warm light.
The night wind blew quietly, bringing with it a slight chill, but it did not make people feel afraid. Instead, a unique charm spread in the night.
It brushed gently across his face, like a gentle yet firm guardian, trying to turn the coldness in the air into a hint of warmth, caressing him and soothing every cell in his body.
He thought about what had happened during the day and thought about the Lingzhiyun Pharmaceutical incident. He felt that there was more to it than meets the eye. Yukoli was clearly from China, and his Country Y identity was definitely a preparation for committing crimes.
"For the sake of money, these people have done a lot! They even thought of fabricating such a foreign identity!" Feng Yuxing murmured, his tone a little cold. "How much involvement do these big forces in the provincial capital have in this pharmaceutical factory?"
He always believed that all the illegal and disorderly activities of Lingzhiyun Pharmaceutical were closely related to the powerful forces in the provincial capital. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he kept speculating:
"The power of these powerful forces in the provincial capital isn't enough to allow a Chinese citizen to disguise themselves and evade domestic legal sanctions! If they really are related, then it proves there's another force behind them! Who is that?"
Just as he was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door. The sound was crisp and loud, breaking the original silence.
This sudden interruption brought him back from his deep thoughts, and his thoughts were interrupted, "Who comes knocking on the door so late at night?
"Who is this?" He frowned, a hint of impatience in his tone. At the moment, he was immersed in his own world of thought, and any external interference might affect his thoughts and emotions.
"Comrade Yuxing, I am Xing Pengming!" Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Xing Pengming responded to Feng Yuxing outside the door.
Feng Yuxing seemed to understand the visitor's intention, so he opened the door and let Xing Pengming into the room, "Please sit down!" and made a cup of tea for Xing Pengming.
"Comrade Pengming, it's already past 10 p.m., I thought you were asleep!" Feng Yuxing said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip of hot tea.
"Oh! I don't have the habit of going to bed early! There's no way, this position requires a lot of brain power!" Xing Pengming said self-deprecatingly.
"That's right! And it's a thankless job!" Feng Yuxing also knew that the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission was quite brain-intensive and the cadres would make mistakes if they were not careful. So, review and inspection was the job of the Discipline Inspection Commission.
"Comrade Yuxing, I'm glad you understand!" Xing Pengming sighed to himself.
"Comrade Pengming, you are not here to chat with me, are you?" Feng Yuxing looked at Xing Pengming and said.
"You can call it a casual chat, or you can call it a discussion!" Xing Pengming said calmly.
"Comrade Pengming, are you wondering whether the cadres in Lingjiang County have committed any serious illegal or criminal acts?" Feng Yuxing was chatting with the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, so of course he knew what to talk about.
"That's right! In the evening, I talked with some cadres. As for the cadres who committed serious violations of discipline, they couldn't explain it clearly! Oh! It was an informal conversation, just a chat." Xing Pengming seemed to find that the situation he learned directly was not what he had imagined.
"Comrade Pengming, this is perfectly normal. There are always some cadres who violate laws and discipline. As for how serious they are, it's hard to say because they haven't reached a breaking point, or their behavior is rather covert and difficult to detect!"
Feng Yuxing analyzed, thought for a moment, and continued,
"However, the behavior of the Lingjiang cadres does seem somewhat unusual. It's not an exaggeration to say they're inactive. Why? Because they're worried about gains and losses, because they fear interference from some major forces, or in other words, threats from the general trend.
It is precisely this kind of overt and covert threats that make them cautious. In order to preserve their reputation and status, they give up the courage to stick to their principles.
Gradually, this trend spread like wildfire, quietly affecting everyone, and in the process, people no longer pursued outstanding achievements, but simply sought peace and avoid any behavior that might cause controversy or trouble.
All this is not too bad. What is really worrying is that when this trend becomes a social norm and people begin to get used to this attitude of "not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes", that is the most terrifying.
When this way of thinking becomes deeply rooted in people's minds and is taken for granted, the entire Lingjiang's driving force for progress will be severely hit.
In such an atmosphere, it will be difficult for the sparks of innovation and progress to emerge, let alone drive society forward.
However, this incident has also aroused our vigilance. It is still not easy to break this negative atmosphere and let the spirit of positivity and courage to take responsibility return to the cadre team, after all, the number of cadres involved is relatively large. "
"Comrade Yuxing, your analysis is spot on! Alas! Even I, a veteran in the political arena, am not as thoughtful as you!" Xing Pengming sighed to himself.
“Comrade Pengming, this is not the fault of an old politician like you. The current status of these cadres is also closely related to their superiors, and the responsibility does not lie entirely with them;
For example, if some big forces are involved in making some investments in their territory, and the procedures are not complete; or there are violations, they dare not make decisions on their own, but they will ask their superiors for instructions. However, if they do not get clear instructions, they will of course accept it!
Another scenario is when a higher-level leader, either overtly or covertly, gives them a heads-up about something that doesn't conform to regulations. What do you think they're going to do? How many of them would dare to disobey their leader and give a heads-up?
After listening to Feng Yuxing's explanation, Xing Pengming thought for a moment and said, "Then what do you think about Comrades Bu Lirong and Quan Yongliang? Are there any problems?"
"Whether these two top party and government leaders have problems is a two-sided question; as for whether they have corruption issues, I can't say for sure; we need to investigate.
But giving the green light to some enterprises that do not comply with regulations or have incomplete procedures must have something to do with our city’s leadership team.
Think about it, yesterday, when our Standing Committee was discussing the suspension of these two comrades, those who raised objections were all members of the Standing Committee who played relatively important roles;
If a vote had been held at that time, even with the support of Secretary Yan and Mayor Qiu, it might not have passed! They all had their own little schemes in mind.
Feng Yuxing said analytically! Of course, his tone wasn't very firm. After all, he wasn't the municipal party secretary, so he couldn't make definitive statements.
"You make sense. It seems this matter is really difficult to handle. After all, such a big thing has happened. It would be hard for people to believe if we say that nothing happened to the Lingjiang cadres!" Xing Pengming said with an awkward smile.
