After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Chapter 229 The Calm Before the Arrival

There is always calm before the storm, just like the Jianghuai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection now.

After Li Gui was taken away by the Cadre Supervision Office, the entire Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection fell into an eerie calm.

Although everything seemed to be going on as normal within the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and there was no new work being done, Li Gui at the Cadre Supervision Office had disappeared without a trace as if he had fallen into an abyss.

This situation was extremely unusual, like a huge stone pressing on everyone's heart, especially for everyone in the Third Inspection Room.

When Lu An came to the office in the morning, Zhao Hu and Zhang Long were cleaning.

They all frowned and looked like they were worried about something. When they saw Lu An come in, they just pulled up the corners of their mouths reluctantly and couldn't even say hello.

Everyone from the third inspection room who came in later also walked with heavy steps and greeted each other by nodding.

This situation gave Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong a headache.

Although the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection requires a certain degree of solemnity and discipline, it is not the clan house of the old society after all. Moreover, most of the people in the office are old employees who have worked there for a few years. It is normal for everyone to talk, laugh and gossip. Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong will not stop them.

But now none of this can be seen, as if an invisible gloomy atmosphere is lingering in the offices of the Third Inspection Room.

Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong had no good solution for this. They couldn't just lie to everyone and tell them that they had dealt with Secretary Yan.

The others were fine, but they were only worried about Lu An, so they talked to Lu An every day and did ideological work on him.

However, Lu An was obviously stronger than they thought. Not only was he not affected, but he also comforted them.

Lu An assured them not to worry, and that no matter what tricks Secretary Yan used, he would be able to find a way to solve it.

However, this situation did not last long, because Secretary Yan's measures finally came into play.

A notification document from the General Office was issued, requiring all units to attend the party style construction work meeting on time.

As soon as Lu An heard the name, he knew it was directed at him.

Looking at the notification document again, the first paragraph introduces the recent criticism of violations of organizational discipline within the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, with Lu An's name highlighted.

"Although the notification document mentioned Lu An's name at the beginning, it did not mention the corresponding disciplinary decision later. I guess they wanted to catch the meeting by surprise," Zhao Yuedong guessed.

What an old fox!

Ye Xianggao frowned and looked at the document over and over again, but still felt he had no idea where to start.

There is no doubt that Ye Xianggao will protect Lu An to the death, but there is also a prerequisite of priority.

Secretary Fu Hongyuan had already laid his cards on Ye Xianggao’s table last time and explained it very clearly: he would only intervene if the punishment was “serious”, such as recording the offending file or expelling him from the Party or his public office.

He would not ask about other "ordinary" punishments such as verbal criticism or writing a letter of apology.

On the one hand, Fu Hongyuan did this because he didn't want to spend too much energy on a small figure like Lu An, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to give Lu An a warning.

After all, Lu An's action last time of calling Commissioner Xue directly without going through the leadership of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was indeed over the line.

Not only was Yan Chengguang, who was present, very angry, but even Fu Hongyuan was equally unhappy when he learned about it afterwards.

As the second-in-command of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Yan Chengguang accurately received Fu Hongyuan's signal.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Yan Chengguang and Fu Hongyuan would have played on a tacit understanding, but Lu An later went to the office to persuade them, and asked Li Gui to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes in person, which really angered Yan Chengguang.

Therefore, Yan Chengguang deliberately did not mention the disciplinary decision in the notice. Ye Xianggao or Fu Hongyuan were not sure about the importance of the matter and did not know whether they should intervene.

"There are two possibilities now. The first is just ordinary verbal criticism, or asking Lu An to write a self-criticism." Zhao Yuedong guessed.

Ye Xianggao waved his hand to indicate that it was impossible: "If it is just an ordinary punishment, you can just write it out directly. There is no need to hide it."

Lu An himself said: "I have challenged his authority as the executive vice secretary time and again. It would be unreasonable for him not to show me some colorful colors."

Ye Xianggao and Zhao Yuedong both turned their heads to look at Lu An.

Wow, it turns out you know everything!

Things were exactly as Lu An said. No matter from which perspective, Yan Chengguang would not let Lu An go easily.

Yan Chengguang finally showed his fangs, and Ye Xianggao decided to go find Secretary Fu Hongyuan again.

Lu An stopped Ye Xianggao, thinking that it was still not the right time.

"Director, you just said it. In fact, the secretary is also dissatisfied with me. So now that Secretary Yan has not revealed his cards, it would not be a good idea for you to go to him rashly." Lu An said.

Ye Xianggao certainly understood this, but he had to give it a try. He couldn't just watch Yan Chengguang take advantage of the surprise attack to really give out the punishment.

"At least hold on to the last bottom line!" Ye Xianggao said.

In fact, Lu An himself didn’t mind. He even hoped to see Yan Chengguang slap himself in the face.

But now that Ye Xianggao insisted so much, and I also have to help the old squad leader keep the secret, I can only watch Ye Xianggao try.

As expected, Fu Hongyuan still maintained a nonchalant attitude and even criticized Ye Xianggao for not doing his job well and instead worrying about a young man who had just started working all day long.

"Comrade Cheng Guang is the executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He has the authority to carry out party conduct construction work and impose corresponding penalties on relevant personnel. He does not need to report to me."

"Comrade Xiang Gao, have you done your job well? The corruption case of Pingjiang Jianye Bureau has not been closed, and Wei Dezheng has been on the run for so long without any progress. These are all major cases that have alarmed the central government."

"Ye Xianggao, have you forgotten that you are the director of the Third Supervisory Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, not the director of a neighborhood committee? You don't need to be involved in this kind of thing!"

After being scolded by the secretary, Ye Xianggao had tried all his methods and could only advise Lu An to wish for the best...
