Chapter 290 Ren Xianping Can't Take It Anymore
In the conference room of Nanhai Hotel, there were only three people: Ren Xianping, Secretary Yuan and Zhang Jingyang.
"It's been a week. Is there still no progress on Lu Zhenting's side?" Ren Xianping asked, his tone clearly filled with anxiety.
After all, even for Ren Xianping, detaining a bureau-level official without reason would be a huge pressure.
Zhang Jingyang lowered his head, not daring to look up, and answered tremblingly: "Lu Zhenting is indeed still fighting stubbornly. It will take time to make a breakthrough."
"Need time? Just give me some time!" Ren Xianping suddenly shouted.
For a man of Ren Xianping's status, this was already considered extremely inappropriate, but he had no choice. He was eager to show results.
Zhang Jingyang continued to lower his head. He knew very well that the more he spoke at this time, the more mistakes he would make. So he simply kept silent and let his leader scold him.
However, a sudden knock on the door saved Zhang Jingyang. Secretary Yuan went to open the door and saw Yang Shifeng, deputy secretary of the Lingnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, walk in with a pile of documents and hand them directly to Ren Xianping.
"Secretary, these are all the relevant materials about all the officials of Wushan Economic and Trade Development Zone, the Management Committee and Customs, and the Party Committees and Discipline Inspection Commissions at all levels. Report to the Secretary."
Ren Xianping looked at the pile of materials in front of him with a puzzled look: "I didn't ask for an investigation into these."
Yang Shifeng replied that this was a task assigned by the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee. After what happened to Lu Zhenting, the Provincial Party Committee believed that there were huge hidden dangers within the organization and that there might be many problematic cadres hiding among them.
That's why Yang Shifeng brought these materials to help the supervision team conduct the investigation more conveniently and smoothly.
Ren Xianping slammed the table in anger: "You are kidding! How can you investigate so many people at once?"
Yang Shifeng stood straight without fear: "Secretary, I am carrying out the local cadres' active cooperation with the supervision team's investigation!"
Ren Xianping's face turned pale. He really wanted to slap him, but in the end he held back and just waved his hand to let Yang Shifeng leave.
He knew very well that this was a counterattack from the Lingnan officialdom, and Yang Shifeng was just a representative who was pushed to the front.
Who said that just because you are the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and that when you bring the supervision team appointed by the central government, the local officials must cooperate with the investigation and allow you to be dispatched?
So what if you are a leader? So what if you represent the superior organization?
If you don't follow the rules and the local officials make trouble with you, they can still make you look bad.
Now Yang Shifeng comes to deliver materials as a means of resistance.
Maybe it seems like he is actively cooperating on the surface, but in fact it is a warning to Ren Xianping to give an explanation as soon as possible, otherwise the Lingnan officialdom will give you an explanation.
You have to know that Lingnan is a major economic province at the forefront of opening up and has considerable say in the central government. It is not some Akalin Province with no sense of existence.
If Ren Xianping cannot give a satisfactory explanation, Lingnan will then file a complaint against him with the central government, saying that he acted recklessly in Lingnan, arrested local officials without reason, disrupted the normal order of the local area, and hindered the economic opening-up policy. Even with Ren Xianping's status as the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he will be in trouble.
Ren Xianping's thoughts were not groundless. In the past few days, he actually received several calls from the central government.
Among them were central leaders and his classmates.
The classmates told Ren Xianping that they had contacted the secret group, but it turned out that group also did not have any groundbreaking evidence.
The call from the central government was more serious, directly expressing serious concern about the Lingnan smuggling case, especially the problem of Lu Zhenting, the general manager of Wushan Company, and instructing Ren Xianping to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.
This has been made very clear. Someone has already reported Lu Zhenting's affairs to the higher-ups.
If Ren Xianping doesn't come up with solid evidence to implicate Lu Zhenting as soon as possible and give an explanation to his superiors, then I'm afraid his superiors will have to give him an explanation.
Ren Xianping thought about it and became more and more annoyed. Finally, he couldn't help cursing: "This is all Zhang Jingyang's fault!"
Ren Xianping pointed his finger at Zhang Jingyang's nose and said, "What did you say at the beginning? They arrested Lu Zhenting with solid evidence, but what about now? They interrogated Lu Zhenting for a week and found nothing!"
Zhang Jingyang apologized repeatedly, saying that it was his incompetence that prevented him from bringing good news to Ren Xianping.
"You are indeed incompetent. Look at Lu An, who was willing to risk his life to arrest Lu Zhenting, and now has the patience to ignore it. You are simply incomparable to him!" Ren Xianping said.
Lu An… Damn it, it’s this guy again!
Zhang Jingyang gnashed his teeth in hatred. He couldn't understand why he couldn't get rid of it even after reaching this point.
But suddenly an idea flashed in Zhang Jingyang's mind, and he looked up suddenly: "Secretary Ren, I think I have an idea."
After finally hearing the good news he wanted, Ren Xianping calmed down and asked him if he had thought of how to break through Lu Zhenting.
Zhang Jingyang shook his head and replied: "No, but I know how to solve this problem!"
Ren Xianping raised his eyebrows. He noticed that Zhang Jingyang's answer was to solve the problem rather than to break through Lu Zhenting.
Zhang Jingyang told Ren Xianping: "Does the secretary still remember Lu An? As long as the secretary restores his work authority and hands Lu Zhenting over to him, the problem will naturally be solved."
Ren Xianping was not stupid, he immediately understood Zhang Jingyang's plan.
Throw the difficult problem to Lu An. If he can make a breakthrough, it will be because of my own planning.
If Lu An can't do anything about it, then that's Lu An's problem. At that time, I just need to do a little work and put all the responsibility on him.
Although he still could not escape the leadership responsibility in the end, compared with the entire crime, Ren Xianping could still afford to take on a small leadership responsibility.
Zhang Jingyang also said: "Secretary, you don't need to have any psychological burden, because Lu Zhenting was originally arrested by Lu An on his own initiative. Strictly speaking, Secretary, you are also a victim and the one who bears responsibility for him. If it weren't for your noble character, Lu An would have been punished by the central government long ago!"
Ren Xianping nodded in satisfaction and finally made the decision: "Okay, this work will be handed back to Commissioner Lu An!"
