Chapter 163 Anonymous Letter
Chapter 163 Anonymous Letter
Office of the Secretary of the Yantai County Party Committee.
Xiao Jianhua frowned slightly when he heard the news brought by Ma Zhiyuan.
The other party almost described Qi Tongwei as a corrupt element who was engaged in blackmail and embezzlement.
"I know what you're talking about. At the end of last year, Qi Tongwei reported this to me. He said that the total amount of 1.8 million yuan was invested by the town enterprise "Xiongying" and that the money would be returned within three or four months. It's not what you think."
Xiao Jianhua was cautious and did not mention the matter of Longteng Group.
"As for the Gao Cheng you mentioned, let's first see whether the testimony he provided can be used as evidence. Just based on his character, it's hard to be convincing."
Ma Zhiyuan said seriously: "Secretary, Gao Cheng's testimony can be put aside for now. Should we pay more attention to the investment funds? Is there any corruption in it? Should we send an investigation team to investigate?
This includes the money of 160,000 people. If it is lost, we cannot take the responsibility.
Also, since it is said to be an investment, why did he invest without seeing any projects?
In addition, are there any illegal operations involved? Should we understand these? "
Faced with Ma Zhiyuan's relentless pressure, Xiao Jianhua knew that he could no longer hold on.
Qi Tongwei's words at the beginning were vague, so he was a little worried that there was something fishy.
He still doesn't understand things like stocks.
How could the people in the investigation team understand something that he didn’t understand?
I'm afraid that even if there is no problem, some problem can be found.
But at this time he could only choose to trust Qi Tongwei and do his best to protect the other party.
Qi Tongwei is his lifeline. Without him, he would have no background. Without a background, how could he suppress the second-in-command with a strong background in front of him?
“Comrade Zhiyuan, don’t worry about this matter for now.
This is a serious matter, so I will let Comrade Tong Wei come over and explain it first. Sending out an investigation team rashly will have a huge impact on our comrades.
Moreover, the other party was a heroic director last year, so why send an investigation team today? This is inappropriate, at least not without evidence. "
With this amount of corruption, Qi Tongwei would probably be shot under today's laws.
"Secretary Xiao, we need to investigate the evidence." Ma Zhiyuan looked distressed. "I am not making this statement without any basis. Someone sent me an anonymous letter saying that Qi Tongwei secretly misappropriated the public funds of Guying Town."
As he spoke, Ma Zhiyuan took out a letter.
Xiao Jianhua opened it, glanced at it quickly, and immediately stood up and shook the anonymous letter in his hand: "It's just hearsay, it's completely hearsay.
What do you mean by disappeared? Comrade Ren Tongwei has already reported to me. It was taken out for investment.
It will take a few months at most. I'm afraid that the investment made last year will be paid back soon. If we send people to check now, they will definitely not see any money. It will be a hassle.
Besides, an anonymous letter can be written by anyone. Are we going to launch a big investigation into our heroic director, the young mayor, just because of such a letter?"
Ma Zhiyuan was not to be outdone and also raised his voice, "Secretary Xiao, isn't this Eagle a fake project that Qi Tongwei set up? It's called a company, but it's still an empty lot, without a single brick or tile built.
Putting money into such a company inevitably makes people think too much.”
Xiao Jianhua said coldly: "So what you mean is that we must investigate! Do you know the impact of doing so?"
"Of course I know." Ma Zhiyuan looked directly at Xiao Jianhua, "Secretary Xiao, we can't reach a conclusion by discussing this. I suggest that we convene a standing committee meeting immediately."
Xiao Jianhua instinctively wanted to refuse, because the Standing Committee could only be convened with his approval.
But he had already refused to investigate, and if he refused to convene a Standing Committee meeting to discuss it, it would inevitably make others think that there was something fishy, which would then be even more difficult to explain.
Xiao Jianhua sighed, "Okay, let's convene a standing committee meeting.
Upon hearing about the convening of the Standing Committee, Ma Zhiyuan was secretly delighted. He could already foresee the opportunity to defeat the opponent head-on.
Xiao Jianhua gave a look to the secretary beside him, who nodded slightly.
After the two left the office, the secretary picked up the phone on the desk and dialed, but got a busy tone.
The secretary did not panic. He sneaked out of the county party committee compound and found his confidant. "Hurry up and take a taxi to Guying Town and inform Mayor Qi that the county wants to investigate the whereabouts of the funds. Don't be afraid to spend money, be quick!"
Prosperity and adversity are shared by all is the basic rule for secretaries.
Of course he would spread the news at all costs.
Xiao Jianhua's only purpose was to keep delaying time so that Qi Tongwei would have enough room to react.
If Qi Tongwei knew, he would definitely tell them that there was no need.
...
At the county standing committee meeting.
Ma Zhiyuan still took out the anonymous letter and used it as a breakthrough to launch an investigation into Qi Tongwei.
“Comrades, I received an anonymous letter of complaint saying that one of our young and promising mayors used the money that the people had raised with great difficulty to invest in road construction.
Based on this point alone, I think this comrade's style of behavior is problematic. Not only is it against regulations, it's also against the law.
Sadly, this person is a top student who graduated from the Department of Political Science and Law. I think everyone knows who I am talking about. "
Xiao Jianhua interrupted and said, "Comrade Zhiyuan, please do not take my words out of context, and do not make a fuss about them.
Qi Tongwei reported to me that he took the money for investment. Of course, it is indeed inappropriate to use the special funds for road construction for other purposes.
But it's not as serious as you said. Comrade Tongwei also told me that it's just to make the money earn more interest. It's only for a few months and will not affect the designated use of the funds.
People also know to use the money they don't need temporarily to earn interest. It won't be a big deal if our towns and villages are more flexible.
As long as the money is still used to repair the road, what does it matter about these minor details? "
Ma Zhiyuan smiled slightly and looked at the neutral party's Political and Legal Committee Secretary Xu Jiuda, "Secretary Jiuda, you studied political science and law. Do you think this operation is legal and compliant?"
Xu Jiuda secretly cursed the other party for putting him on the spot. Why did they involve him in their fight?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Jiuda organized his words and said, "It's hard to say about this matter. It's not entirely legal and compliant. The loophole of misappropriating special funds cannot be opened."
A smug smile appeared on Ma Zhiyuan's face when he heard this, but the smile did not last long and was immediately taken back by Xu Jiuda.
“However, what Secretary Xiao said is not without reason. It is well known that Lone Eagle Town is poor.
When you are poor, you think about change. This is also true for ordinary people. If you just maintain the status quo, how can you talk about development and prosperity? "
Xu Jiuda's words echoed both Ma Zhiyuan and Xiao Jianhua, which was equivalent to saying nothing.
Xiao Jianhua immediately followed up, "Comrade Jiuda is right. Didn't the old man say that it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.
We should have the courage to support our comrades below to make bold attempts."
After this was said, Ma Zhiyuan could no longer refute it. Continuing to refute it would be a political mistake.
