Chapter 360: Unknown Return Date (10)
Cai Hanwen heard bad news.
In other words, the news these past few days has been nothing but bad. However, this news is even worse.
That is, the Provincial Party Committee held a standing committee meeting yesterday, but did not invite himself, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, to attend the meeting.
This is obviously against the rules, unless the issues discussed by the Standing Committee this time are related to himself.
Sure enough, this afternoon, Cai Hanwen was called to Zhao Heping's office.
Zhao Heping asked Cai Hanwen to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Old Cai! The Standing Committee didn't call you yesterday. I want to tell you that the Standing Committee has discussed and decided to remove you from your position as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and transfer you to the Provincial People's Congress as Deputy Secretary of the Party Group and Deputy Director."
"Secretary Heping...this..." Cai Hanwen looked incredulous. He could no longer sit still after hearing this and stood up directly.
"Old Cai, sit down. What are you in such a hurry for?"
Zhao Heping soothed him, "The central government has already approved this matter. You don't know why, do you? Nanze City has investigated and found that there are too many problems with your relatives and friends, and you lack proper discipline for your spouse and children."
Cai Hanwen was disheartened, and the only thing he was thankful for was that it was Zhao Heping who informed him of this matter, not Ding Zhiwen or the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Although the National People's Congress hasn't convened yet, I still want to tell you something in advance."
Zhao Heping continued, "The position of deputy director of the National People's Congress carries a heavy burden. If you work hard in this position, you can achieve considerable results."
When Cai Hanwen raised his head again, his eyes were bloodshot. "Secretary Heping, who will take over the position of Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee?"
Zhao Heping smiled after hearing this. "Who will take over is decided through organizational discussion and requires approval from the central leadership..."
Cai Hanwen pressed on: "Is it Li Chunyan?"
Zhao Heping thought for a moment and said, "There's a high chance."
"I knew it was her."
Cai Hanwen said somewhat out of control, "Back then, she wanted to be transferred directly to the position of Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee because I was blocking her way. That's why she found that Jiang Ningyue and made things difficult for me at every turn!"
"Old Cai!"
Zhao Heping's eyes grew scornful, and his tone sharpened. "You're a veteran cadre and Party member! How could you say something so detrimental to unity? 'Questioning Haizhou' is a program approved by the Provincial Party Committee. Every person Comrade Xiao Jiang investigates has solid evidence, based on discussions conducted by the Provincial Party Committee!"
"Secretary Heping, you don't need to say anything more."
Cai Hanwen waved his hand, stopping Zhao Heping from saying anything further. He slowly stood up and said, "I understand. Goodbye."
But his back looked a little more lonely.
After the transfer order was announced, the provincial investigation into Cai Hanwen ended. However, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived in Haizhou Province and took over part of the investigation.
During the investigation, Cai Hanwen's problems gradually surfaced.
When Cai Hanwen was serving as the secretary of the Nanze Municipal Party Committee, he began to frequently visit high-end private clubs, colluding with businessmen to form an interest group.
Furthermore, he became obsessed with superstitious practices, frequently visiting temples and Taoist temples in Nanze City, hoping that the gods would bless him with a smooth career. During his tenure as Party Secretary of Nanze City and then Haining City, he often used his power to "burn the first incense" at temples.
Furthermore, Cai Hanwen's corruption evolved into a family-style corruption. After he became a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Haining Municipal Party Committee, he rarely actively solicited bribes from businessmen. Instead, he had his family accept bribes, and later, the bribes were paid by businessmen who purchased high-priced goods from the family business.
Cai Hanwen’s eldest son was not good at studying, so he went abroad to study for a master’s degree.
After returning to China, a boss actually spent 60 million to buy the copyright of a book written by his son.
——In fact, even this book was written by a ghostwriter, just to find an excuse to give it as a gift.
At the same time, Cai Hanwen also had long-term abnormal relationships with several women, including cadres from party and government agencies, enterprises and institutions.
Among them, the most famous should be Fang Ya, chairman of the Haining Economic and Technological Development Zone Urban Investment Group.
Fang Ya relied on Cai Hanwen to rise to power, but she was very high-profile and loved to give media interviews. As a result, she was known as the "beautiful leader" in Haining City and even Haizhou Province.
There were even quite a few people who tried to extort money from Fang Ya and Jiang Ningyue.
At the same time, Fang Ya is also the 2020 Haizhou Province March 8th Red Flag Bearer.
Of course, in addition to these, he also helped demolish his hometown Caijia Village four times.
In 1980, Cai Hanwen was admitted to Haizhou University of Technology (later merged into Haizhou University).
He is the first college student in the village.
Although Caijia Village was in Haining City, the provincial capital, the rural economy was in dire straits at the time. Cai Hanwen's family was so poor that they would have had to sell everything they had to support him in college.
Every household in the village, young and old, chipped in money to help him go to university. One yuan, five cents... It was with the help of the entire village that Cai Hanwen successfully graduated from Haizhou University of Technology.
After graduating from the University of Industry, Cai Hanwen was assigned to work at the Haizhou Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology. Starting as an ordinary clerk, he worked his way up to become the deputy director of the Industry Department.
Afterwards, with the help of his 'noble' Secretary Shen, he was transferred to Nanze City as member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, deputy secretary of the Municipal Government Party Group, and executive vice mayor.
The official career is smooth sailing.
Mayor of Nanze City, Secretary of the Nanze Municipal Party Committee, Mayor of Haining City, Member of the Standing Committee of Haizhou Provincial Party Committee, and Secretary of the Haining Municipal Party Committee.
When Secretary Shen was about to retire, he gave him a final push and made him the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
It was after he became mayor of Haining that Cai Hanwen began to devise every possible means to secure benefits for his hometown. He became even more unscrupulous after becoming a member of the Standing Committee and then the municipal party secretary.
After becoming the mayor of Haining, Cai Hanwen has to go back to his hometown at least twice a year, once for the Chinese New Year and once for the Double Ninth Festival.
On the Double Ninth Festival, Cai Hanwen will give money to the elderly in the village.
To welcome him, the whole village organizes a grand performance every year and invites him to watch and participate. Sometimes, celebrities are even invited to perform, which is equivalent to Haining City’s own Spring Festival Gala!
Even many outsiders come to join in the fun, which shows how grand it is.
Cai Hanwen sat in the office of the Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee, feeling somewhat dejected. The people who had always flocked around him were nowhere to be found. The businessmen who had invited him every now and then had stopped calling.
Even most of his mistresses, I heard, have escaped.
"How heartless!"
Cai Hanwen took a sip of the tea and found it very bitter.
I haven't fallen yet, but it's already like this. I wonder how many people will still remember my goodness if I really fall?
At this time, Cai Hanwen's phone rang. Cai Hanwen took a look and picked up the call.
"Hello, Uncle San."
"Hanwen! Will you come to participate in this year's Double Ninth Festival?"
The other party's voice was still so enthusiastic, which soothed Cai Hanwen's indignation.
"I'll...try my best."
Cai Hanwen chuckled and said, "Uncle San, you know I'm quite busy with work."
"That's right. You're a provincial leader now. You must be very busy."
Uncle San also expressed his understanding, "When can you go home? The children in the village miss you."
At this moment, Cai Hanwen's door was opened and several staff members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection walked in. Seeing that he was on the phone, they did not say anything. They just stood in front of his desk and looked at him calmly.
"I don't know when I'll be back."
Cai Hanwen replied.
