Chapter 260: Political Influence (Part 1)
Inside the "Questioning Haizhou" studio, two members of the Discipline Inspection Commission escorted Xia Baohua, who could no longer walk properly. Nearby, Li Weimin, Qian Shun, and Wei Zhiming lowered their heads in fear, constantly flipping through the documents in their hands.
I don’t know what’s so good about this document, or maybe I don’t even dare to look up.
It's like a student who hasn't done his homework and doesn't dare to look at the teacher when the teacher is collecting homework.
Deputy Mayor Hou, Director Zhao, and others who had come with Xia Baohua were also taken away by the other comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission. Liu Tai's expression remained calm, but Director Jia's face had turned very ugly.
Jiang Ningyue walked up to Li Weimin and the other two with a smile, and knocked on the table. "Three directors, if you don't leave, are you still waiting for me to treat you to a meal?"
Although Jiang Ningyue's actions were somewhat offensive, the three of them didn't feel offended at all at this moment, and were even very friendly. Li Weimin was as if he had been pardoned and quickly replied:
"How dare I? If anyone wants to treat you, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Wei Zhiming nodded quickly and said, "When are you free, Supervisor? We'll treat you to a simple meal."
If anyone saw the three directors treating a fourth-level researcher in this way, they would be shocked.
However, at this moment, the three of them were afraid of offending Jiang Ningyue.
Jiang Ningyue smiled and shook her head, "It's getting late, the three leaders should go back and rest."
At this time, Li Chunyan came over, and the three of them hurriedly greeted her. Li Chunyan said calmly, "Don't be nervous, the three of you. Xia Baohua's matter was decided after consultation with the Provincial Party Committee."
"Understood."
Wei Zhiming and the other two nodded repeatedly.
Li Chunyan nodded casually and said, "Okay, go back and rest quickly. You've worked hard tonight."
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Li."
"Minister Li, please take care of yourself."
The three of them hurried away, not daring to stay for a moment, as if just by leaving, this matter would have nothing to do with them at all.
After the three left, Li Chunyan pointed at Jiang Ningyue and said with a smile, "You! Did Secretary Heping allow you to arrest Xia Baohua during the live broadcast? You acted on your own?"
"Secretary Zhao said that the arrest can be made after the live broadcast is over."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and hugged Li Chunyan's arm, "Isn't this considered a violation?"
"You just know how to be clever." Li Chunyan smiled and rolled her eyes at Jiang Ningyue.
At this time, Qiao Jin also came over. Normally, Li Chunyan would have a group of supporters around her, but since the Discipline Inspection Commission had just arrested someone, no one dared to approach Li Chunyan and Jiang Ningyue.
Qiao Jin said, "Minister Li, Team Leader Jiang, during the live broadcast just now, our comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission had already gone to Xia Baohua's secret mansion. According to the information they sent back, they found over $5 million in the mansion's warehouse, a large amount of gold bars and antiques, and luxury watches and wines that filled several rooms. Therefore, Team Leader Jiang's order to arrest Xia Baohua is in compliance with regulations."
Li Chunyan nodded and looked at Jiang Ningyue. "You have to thank Qiao Jin. Without Qiao Jin by your side to check and fill in the gaps, you would have been in trouble if you were so reckless. Don't act so recklessly next time. You are not a child anymore."
"oh."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, turned to Qiao Jin and smiled, "Thank you, Sister Qiao."
Qiao Jin smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "Team Leader Jiang, you're too polite. This is what I should do."
At the same time, Qiao Jin was complaining in her heart, 'Why does it feel like I'm visiting a classmate's house? Isn't the relationship between Li Chunyan and Jiang Ningyue a bit exaggerated? Only mother and daughter can be like this, right? Are they sisters?'
Qiao Jin was full of thoughts, and Mr. Li's reputation was damaged.
Jiang Ningyue looked at Qiao Jin, "By the way, about the dinner party."
"Let's wait until this matter is completely settled." Qiao Jin said, "Let's have dinner together again next week."
"Okay." Jiang Ningyue nodded.
Qiao Jin said goodbye and left. Li Chunyan said, "I still have to call Secretary Heping to report the situation. I don't know if he's watching the live broadcast. Don't run around. Wait here for me."
"knew."
Jiang Ningyue nodded.
Li Chunyan left to make a phone call, and the people around her came over. Jiang Ningyue sent them away with a few words. The live broadcast was over, and naturally there was nothing else to do. They could leave as they pleased.
Liu Tai, Director Jia, and the others came over. "Xiao Yue, what's going on? Why are they livestreaming the arrest?"
Jiang Ningyue chuckled, "Tai Liu, this is the arrangement of the Discipline Inspection Commission. I'm from the Organization Department and I can't control the Discipline Inspection Commission."
Hearing this, everyone resisted the urge to roll their eyes.
This is simply a joke. Everyone present saw that the Discipline Inspection Commission came on stage only after Jiang Ningyue waved her hand.
If it was before, even before the Discipline Inspection Commission took Xia Baohua away, Liu Tai could have relied on his relationship with Jiang Ningyue to continue asking questions. After all, Liu Tai was a provincial-level cadre and Jiang Ningyue's old leader, so he had the qualifications.
However, Jiang Ningyue had easily arrested the mayor of a prefecture-level city, and even Liu Tai didn't dare to act like a senior leader in front of Jiang Ningyue. Even those who had originally thought Jiang Ningyue was amiable now sensed a bit of the legendary "superior" aura from her.
This is the change brought about by power. Everyone present was in awe of the beautiful 26-year-old girl in front of them, but they dared not disrespect the power in her hands.
Li Chunyan came back after finishing her phone call, and Liu Tai and others hurriedly greeted her.
Li Chunyan walked out with everyone else. Just as she reached the door, Li Chunyan's driver stopped the car at the door and Feng Xin immediately opened the door. Li Chunyan looked at Jiang Ningyue, "Xiaoyue, are you driving?"
"It's open." Jiang Ningyue nodded.
"Then you guys go back."
Li Chunyan waved at Feng Xin and the others and said, "Just let Xiaoyue take me there."
Feng Xin didn't feel surprised at all. He got into the car and left. Liu Tai and others looked at Jiang Ningyue with envy.
Jiang Ningyue and Li Chunyan got into the car. Li Chunyan said, "This program is really good. Although it's a problem-solving program, the core of the program is not solving problems, but rather the supervision and deterrence of units at all levels. Especially since Xia Baohua was taken away directly on the spot, I wonder how many corrupt officials will have trouble sleeping tonight."
Jiang Ningyue asked curiously, "Why? Secretary Zhao just praised me on the phone?"
"Don't flatter yourself," Li Chunyan said with a smile. "It's good enough that Secretary Heping doesn't scold you."
"Eh——" Jiang Ningyue stretched out her tone, sounding a little dissatisfied.
Li Chunyan smiled and said, "It's better to avoid such things in the future. Even if Secretary Heping doesn't have any objections, Secretary Ding will have some."
"Secretary Heping, do you have any objections?"
Jiang Ningyue quickly noticed the reason, and then she said, "Secretary Ding is too stingy. I warned him in advance, but he just wouldn't let go."
"It's normal for the disciplinary committee to be rigorous in its work."
Li Chunyan expressed her understanding. "The risk of livestreaming the arrest is too great. Secretary Ding has lived a life of treading on thin ice. He's almost retired, so he can't afford to have any problems with you."
Jiang Ningyue moved her lips, but no sound came out.
This is called silent rebuttal.
