When Yan Baiyang was reporting, he did not relay to Qiao Guping what Feng Yuxing had just said in his office.
"Secretary, according to Comrade Yuxing, it would be more appropriate to let the provincial party committee make the decision!" Yan Baiyang said this cautiously.
"Yeah! I get it! This kid finally used his brain this time!" Qiao Guping said with a smile, "This matter is indeed quite serious. I will convene a standing committee meeting tomorrow and have someone inform Xiyun when there is any news!"
As a high-ranking official, Qiao Guping could not fail to understand Feng Yuxing's intentions after listening to Yan Baiyang's report.
"Thank you, Secretary!" Yan Baiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Baiyang murmured, "As expected of the provincial party committee boss! As soon as he heard my report, he understood what was going on!"
As expected.
Feng Yuxing’s judgment is still correct.
The next day, the Provincial Party Committee issued a notice that it would send a working group to review the recent cases in Lingjiang, and to carry out a purification-style treatment of the Lingzhou Chemical Model Factory's chemical raw material contamination, which caused many factories to suffer from diseases.
There is another point. Feng Yuxing's judgment was also very accurate. However, he did not mention it to Yan Baiyang and Qiu Shangnan at the time. That is, if the provincial party committee sent a working group, which provincial government leader should be the team leader.
The working group is headed by Deputy Governor and Police Director Xia Liwan.
Although he is only the nominal team leader and the actual execution is carried out as the deputy team leader, and he does not have to stay in Lingjiang with the working group, but his organization has the power to decide the direction of the investigation and make the final decision on certain matters.
The reason why Feng Yuxing judged that once the provincial party committee formed a working group, the leader would be Xia Liwan, the deputy provincial party committee and police chief?
That is because, although Xia Wanli is not a member of the Standing Committee, he also serves as the Director of Police and has the status of Deputy Governor, so his power is very significant.
If some people from big families want to walk on the edge of the law, they have to have a good relationship with him. Otherwise, as long as he does something bad, those big families will not benefit that much.
Feng Yuxing was able to predict that once the provincial party committee decided to set up a working group, the leader of this working group would most likely be Xia Liwan, who held the positions of deputy provincial party committee and police chief.
That's because, although he is not a member of the provincial party committee standing committee, he also serves as the police chief, and by virtue of his status as deputy provincial governor, his power is particularly prominent in the entire system.
Those who come from large families often want to walk on the edge of the law, looking for a way to protect themselves without violating regulations.
In this situation, it is crucial to establish a good relationship with Xia Wanli. If they fail to do so, once Xia Wanli starts to take action, the interests pursued by those families will be seriously affected.
The reason why these big families are called big families is that they are aware of the relationship between power and business, which are interdependent. This person may not be Xia Liwan, but this person must have a huge influence on the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, or control.
If someone with this kind of power has bad intentions and is willing to use the power in his hands, the interests of those big families will be threatened and they may even suffer huge losses.
Therefore, for these families, choosing to cooperate with Xia Wanli is undoubtedly a mutually beneficial strategy and the key to maintaining their own security and long-term interests. Of course, Xia Liwan also needs this benefit, or support.
. . . . . .
As soon as the provincial party committee’s notice arrived, Yan Baiyang asked Feng Yuxing to come to his office for tea.
"Comrade Yuxing, your judgment is correct. The Provincial Party Committee has just issued a notice! It is estimated that the working group sent by the Provincial Party Committee will arrive in Lingjiang in the afternoon!" Yan Baiyang felt very unhappy.
Of course, he did not think about the provincial party committee intervening in local affairs, but lamented that the relationship between power and interests sometimes makes people helpless.
"This time, the working group dispatched is of a very high level, and the team leader is Comrade Wan Li, the deputy governor and director of the police department!" Yan Baiyang added.
"There's nothing strange about it. Apart from this old man, Secretary Qiao, and Governor Nie, it would be troublesome for anyone else to take the position of team leader!" Feng Yuxing said with a smile, his face very calm.
"You can't even guess who is the leader of the working group sent by the Provincial Party Committee! Then you are on par with a charlatan!" Yan Baiyang looked at Feng Yuxing who looked as if it was a matter of course, and said jokingly.
"If you pay attention to the dirty things these big families have done over the years, you can guess that the team leader must be Governor Li Wan!" Feng Yuxing said indifferently.
"Is there any other explanation for this?" Yan Baiyang didn't bother to think about it and asked Feng Yuxing directly.
"Secretary, think about it! Why do these big families always walk on the edge of the law in that regard, and yet, they have been living in peace for many years?
They were using the "personal connections" with certain leaders of the provincial party committee and government, and their preferred choice was the police chief, because the police chief had sufficient influence over the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs.
In addition to the position of vice governor, Governor Li Wan must be the person they will try every means to establish a relationship with.
Their target wasn't Governor Liwan, but the person who would soon hold the core of power. In this competition, position and power were the key, not personal reputation or ability.
The chosen ones also gain benefits. Simply put, the benefits are mutually beneficial."
Although Feng Yuxing's political career experience was not as rich and diverse as Yan Baiyang's, he had never directly confronted these powerful families.
Therefore, his lack of intuitive understanding and experience of the complex and unfathomable relationships and operations between them is understandable.
"I didn't expect that you would think of these complicated things!" Yan Baiyang didn't mind what he didn't know. He was quite happy with Feng Yuxing's explanation. At least, he knew more about these big families in the provincial capital.
"Secretary, not only do you not know, but many high-level leaders may not know either! The reason is that you have never directly fought against the big families in the provincial capital, so of course you don't understand the sense of superiority of the children of those big families.
If any difficult problems arise, the elders in their family can always solve them properly and settle the matter.
Therefore, even for major events like the Lingjiang incident, those who have a say in prominent families may not fully understand the ins and outs of the matter.
They are only responsible for facilitating government relations and how much profit these descendants can bring to the family. Everything else is taken for granted! To say they are indulgent is not an exaggeration at all!
Feng Yuxing did not shy away from anything and stated his judgment according to his inner thoughts.
