South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 348 Standing Committee Meeting Ends, Yuan Mu Has the Upper Hand

Yuan Mu understood now, it turned out that these two people were acting in cahoots, singing in unison, and implicitly telling others the same message: I am unhappy with Cao Baosheng and want to move him to another place. You guys can do whatever you want!

This is very interesting. He has met Cao Baosheng twice. Although his impression of him the second time was not very good, he has just taken office not long ago after all. He doesn't know much about the various forces. He is not very clear about what kind of person Cao Baosheng is. Sometimes you can't just look at the surface of things.

For example, this time, on the surface, the gangsters that appeared during the demolition were Cao Baosheng's problem, but after Jia Weihe and Li Zhiming got involved, he felt that there was something going on, or at least it was not that simple.

Why were they so eager to move Cao Baosheng away? Should I protect Cao Baosheng? Is he worth protecting?

Although he had only been here for a short time, perhaps because he had parachuted into Kyoto, many members of the Standing Committee had a clear intention to get closer to him. The most obvious one was the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Li Zhao, followed by the Executive Deputy District Mayor Xin Maoxue, and finally the Organization Minister Duan Zhengde. These three people clearly supported him. There was also the Propaganda Minister Gao Mingchen, who also had a tendency to favor him, but it was not certain. After all, she was under the leadership of the District Committee, and Li Zhiming and Hu Tian were both her leaders.

Those who openly support Li Zhiming now include district party committee office director Jia Hewei and discipline inspection committee secretary Yu Chengping. Deputy secretary Hu Tian also seems to be quite supportive of Li Zhiming.

It seems that Li Zhiming is at a disadvantage, but there are also unstable factors. For example, the Minister of United Front Work Min Anzhi, although he just supported his proposal, according to Yuan Mu's understanding, this person is a fence-sitter, and the unstable factor is too great.

There is also the Minister of Armed Forces Pei Xueming, who seems to be indifferent to everything. Yuan Mu has participated in two Standing Committee meetings, and Pei Xueming has the least presence, and he even abstained this time.

Gao Mingchen is also likely to support Li Zhiming at a critical moment, but this is not important for the time being. He will be able to get a general idea of ​​how the situation develops next.

"Secretary Li, I think Comrade Cao Baosheng is still okay. Although he has some problems, our party has always been tolerant. It is not terrible to make mistakes. The important thing is to correct them. Comrade Cao Baosheng did a good job in this regard. I gave him one day to arrest those thugs, and he completed it brilliantly."

"There is also Zou Shaobei from the Zhaolin Subdistrict Police Station. His problem is very serious. This incident happened in his jurisdiction. Isn't he aware of it? If he is not aware of it, then it is a serious dereliction of duty! If he is aware of it, then why doesn't he do anything? Does he not want to do it or can't do it? Why doesn't he report it?"

"Comrade Cao Baosheng said that he was not aware of this matter, which means that Zou Shaobei did not report the matter. And I think that the comrades of the Zhaolin Sub-district Office should also review this matter. They did not do their job well and allowed this incident to happen. Comrades, what do you think?" Yuan Mu looked at everyone and said slowly.

Yuan Mu's words basically overturned all the proposals made by Li Zhiming and Jia Wei just now, but Li Zhiming did not seem to be angry, and there was still a faint smile on his face.

"District Chief Yuan, this is not right. You just said that this is not only the case with the demolition work in Zhaolin Street, but also in many other places. One or two places may be excusable, but if it is the case in so many places, then is there a problem with Cao Baosheng's work ability?" Jia Wei said.

"Comrade He, I think this matter needs further investigation. The specific situation needs to be revealed by evidence. As you all know, I am a policeman and I pay the most attention to evidence when doing things. Why did this happen and there is still no accurate conclusion? Should we give our own comrades more trust?" Yuan Mu said with a faint smile on his face.

"I think District Chief Yuan is right. We should have more trust in our own comrades. I also work in politics and law. This matter still needs to be investigated. I think it would be a good idea to let Comrade Cao Baosheng investigate it himself. He can not only solve the problem but also prove himself." Li Zhao also echoed Yuan Mu's words at this time.

Li Zhiming looked at everyone. Many of them were persuaded by Yuan Mu. If he forced a vote now, he would most likely lose. This would be a challenge to his authority as the top leader, so he couldn't do that.

"Well, what Comrade Yuan Mu said makes sense. In that case, let's do as Comrade Yuan Mu said." His words were equivalent to defining the matter.

"The next thing was also proposed by Comrade Yuan Mu, and it is also the most important issue in our district right now, the issue of demolition. As we all know, demolition is not an easy job. It has been going on for so long with little effect. District Chief Yuan now proposes to set up a demolition team, with the district government taking the lead in this matter. Let's discuss it." Changing the subject, Li Zhiming led the matter to the demolition work, and also removed the district committee.

However, Yuan Mu didn't care about his little cleverness at all. He was willing to do better. Such a great credit would be a bargain for himself. He was confident that he could do it well.

"Secretary Li is right. I plan to let the district government take the lead in setting up a demolition team. I will be the team leader and Deputy District Mayor Xin will be the deputy team leader. We will draw personnel from various units to form this demolition team. We will strive for fairness and justice, and carry out civilized demolition. We will reject violent demolition. What do you think?" Yuan Mu nodded, then looked at everyone and said.

Then everyone started discussing in a low voice. In fact, they also thought that this proposal was good. Although they had followed up on the demolition work before, the progress was too slow. The city was obviously dissatisfied, but Li Zhiming didn't seem to be in a hurry so they didn't mention it. But today Yuan Mu brought it up, and they had no intention of objecting, so they naturally agreed.

However, Li Zhiming's attitude is somewhat puzzling. This matter should have been led by the district committee and government together, but now Li Zhiming has actually removed the district committee from the list. What does this mean?

"Okay, since no one objects, then I will announce the establishment of the demolition team. All future work will be handed over to Comrade Yuan Mu. Comrade Yuan Mu, I hope you can achieve results soon." Li Zhiming looked at Yuan Mu and said with a smile.

"No problem, I will definitely achieve results soon!" Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"Well, today's Standing Committee meeting ends here, let's adjourn!" Li Zhiming said as he stood up and walked out the door with his cup in hand.
