Chapter 205 The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it! Maybe Liang Lu can make Qi Tongwe
Qi Tongwei, holding the evidence faxed by Gao Yuliang in his hand, walked towards Luo Shanhe's office with a serious expression.
Each of his steps was steady and powerful, as if carrying a great mission and responsibility.
The moment he walked into the office, Qi Tongwei solemnly placed the thick stack of evidence on Luo Shanhe's desk. His eyes revealed seriousness and expectation, as well as sincere recognition of Gao Yuliang's work.
"Secretary Luo, this is the evidence collected and collated by Mr. Gao Yuliang. I have to say that Mr. Gao has demonstrated extraordinary ability and determination in this matter. His investigation of the Zhao Family Food City in Luzhou was meticulous, and the weight of this evidence cannot be underestimated."
Qi Tongwei's words were full of admiration for Gao Yuliang.
Luo Shanhe took the evidence and began to read it carefully.
The papers flipped gently in his hands, and each page seemed to be telling about Zhao Ruilong's various illegal and irregular behaviors in Luzhou Food City, as well as the larger chain of interests that might be involved behind it.
Luo Shanhe's expression became more and more serious as he read deeper, and his heart was filled with shock.
"This evidence... is truly astonishing. Comrade Gao Yuliang has done an outstanding job and provided crucial support for our actions." Luo Shanhe said with emotion, his recognition of Gao Yuliang was beyond words.
Luo Shanhe picked up the phone without any hesitation and prepared to report the evidence to the top leader.
After the call was connected, Luo Shanhe reported the situation in a serious tone.
"Leader, we have just received a very important piece of evidence about Zhao Ruilong's illegal and irregular behavior in Luzhou Food City. This evidence was compiled by Comrade Gao Yuliang after an in-depth investigation, and its content clearly reveals the huge interests behind it. Leader, things are developing much faster than we expected. We are still in Jinjiang, but Comrade Gao Yuliang has already opened a key breakthrough in Luzhou."
Luo Shanhe's words expressed both his admiration for the rapid development of the situation and his appreciation for Gao Yuliang's work.
On the other end of the phone, the top leader was silent for a moment after hearing the news, and then he let out a deep sigh in his heart.
"I didn't expect that they had already started to interfere in Luzhou's affairs in Jinjiang. Comrade Gao Yuliang's actions were indeed swift and effective. The complexity and difficulty of this struggle are far beyond imagination, and every decision may affect the future direction of Handong Province."
The top leader knew very well that in the early days of reform and opening up, officials like Zhao Lichun who dared to fight and fight played a crucial role.
At that time, the country was in a state of disrepair and urgently needed people with courage and determination to stand up and lead everyone to break out a path of development.
When the wave of reform and opening up just emerged, everything was unknown.
There is no ready-made experience to follow, and every step is full of risks and challenges.
Those officials who dare to fight and work hard are like brave pioneers. They are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles and dare to try new things.
They have keen insight and decisive action, and can make decisions quickly in complex situations.
“It doesn’t matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat.”
This sentence became a spiritual symbol during that period.
Zhao Lichun and others are the ones who will do anything to seize development opportunities. They boldly introduced foreign investment, promoted enterprise reform, and built infrastructure, laying a solid foundation for the region's economic development.
They are not afraid of making mistakes because they know that only through constant attempts can they find the right path.
They dare to break through traditional thinking patterns and challenge existing interest patterns. Their courage and fighting spirit inspire everyone around them, making everyone full of energy and confidence.
However, as time goes by, the temptation of power and interests has gradually made some people lose their way.
The courage to fight and strive has turned into doing whatever one wants, and the pioneering and enterprising spirit has turned into rent-seeking for power.
But it is undeniable that in the early days of reform and opening up, they did make indelible contributions to the country's development.
The top leader understands that the current situation is complex and difficult.
We must face up to the problems of Zhao Lichun and others, but we cannot completely deny their past efforts. At this critical historical juncture, we need to deal with these problems in a more rational and objective manner and find a correct development path for Handong's future.
The top leader called. Luo Shanhe took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Shanhe, you must think carefully about how to act in this matter. Zhao Lichun is the second in command after all, and we cannot easily touch him unless there is absolutely conclusive evidence. Even if there are pollution and funding problems in the Food City, we should try to make a big deal out of a small matter. Now you have achieved great results in Handong, and your status is second only to Zhao Lichun and Liang Qunfeng. There is no need to tear your faces at this time. You must consider the stability of the overall situation. When I retire or get promoted, Zhao Lichun will come up, Liang Qunfeng will retire, and you can also come up, and Qi Tongwei can even go directly to the hall. Do you understand what I mean?"
The leader's tone was serious yet with a hint of expectation.
Luo Shanhe was silent for a moment, then replied calmly: "Leader, I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I will think carefully and act prudently to ensure the stability and development of Handong."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Shanhe fell into deep thought.
He knew that the top leader's considerations were reasonable, but his inner sense of justice made it difficult for him to accept turning a blind eye to the problems of Zhao Lichun and others.
After a while, Qi Tongwei came to the office, and Luo Shanhe told him the instructions from the top leader.
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei's face was full of indignation.
"Zhao Lichun and his team's problems are already very serious. If they are not dealt with in a timely manner, the situation will only get worse." Qi Tongwei said anxiously.
Luo Shanhe frowned slightly. "I also know the seriousness of the problem, but we can't just go against the instructions of the top leader. We must find a proper solution."
Luo Shanhe decided to contact the top leader again and honestly express his thoughts and concerns.
After the call was connected, Luo Shanhe said respectfully: "Leader, I have carefully considered your instructions. I understand your consideration for the stability of the overall situation, but if Zhao Lichun's problems are not solved in time, it may cause a greater crisis in the future. The problem of the Food City is just a superficial phenomenon, and behind it may involve more extensive corruption and abuse of power. We can't sit idly by."
The leader was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, then slowly said, "Shanhe, I know you're worried. But we must weigh the pros and cons and not act rashly. You continue to strengthen your surveillance of Zhao Lichun and others, collect more evidence, and wait for the right time to make a decision."
Luo Shanhe responded: "Leader, I understand. I will follow your instructions and actively promote various work in Handong to ensure stability and development."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Shanhe and Qi Tongwei looked at each other.
Everyone is helpless.
Qi Tongwei knew that this was a rare opportunity and must not be missed easily.
He carefully analyzed the current situation and found only three key points.
One is economic development.
The top leader and Handong Province are indeed inseparable from Zhao Lichun at the current stage, and his role in promoting the economy in some aspects cannot be ignored.
However, Qi Tongwei also understood that he could not turn a blind eye to Zhao Lichun's illegal and disciplinary violations simply because of economic factors.
New economic growth engines have gradually emerged in Jinjiang, Jinghai, Dongshan and Haizhou, which means that Handong is not entirely dependent on Zhao Lichun to achieve economic development.
The second is the issue of face and unspoken rules.
Even if Zhao Lichun is promoted again, the matter must be handled properly. This is an unwritten rule.
Qi Tongwei is well aware of the complexity of officialdom. This kind of implicit rules not only binds people, but also may become a breakthrough to break the old pattern.
But he also understands that one cannot give up the pursuit of justice simply to follow these rules.
The third point, and the most critical one, is that Zhao Lichun and Liang Qunfeng are still powerful, and the top leaders and higher-level officials have not yet figured out which side is stronger. This makes the situation even more confusing, and every decision needs to be carefully weighed.
Qi Tongwei believes that Zhao Ruilong must be dealt with as he is an important part of Zhao Lichun's power.
But as the top leader said, the current problems seem to be trivial matters. If we want to expand the impact, starting from Luzhou is undoubtedly a wise choice.
Qi Tongwei and Luo Shanhe discussed countermeasures again.
"Secretary Luo, the current situation is very complicated, but we cannot retreat. Starting from Luzhou and gradually expanding the influence is our best option at the moment."
"So? How do we solve this problem?"
Qi Tongwei said confidently: "I have a way!"
……
After learning that his old nest, Luzhou Food City, was shut down, Zhao Ruilong was extremely anxious. That Food City was an important foundation of the Zhao family in Luzhou. If something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.
Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed to Luzhou to try to save the situation.
However, what he never expected was that the top leader actually invited him and Zhao Lichun to dinner at this critical juncture.
The dinner was arranged in a quiet and luxurious restaurant in Luzhou.
The restaurant's decoration is elegant and grand, the lighting is soft and warm, and there are exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, revealing nobility and solemnity everywhere.
However, the atmosphere at the moment is incompatible with this elegant environment. The tense atmosphere is like a thick dark cloud, hanging over everyone's heart.
The top leader sat in the main seat. He was wearing a neat suit, his face was serious, and his eyes revealed deep worry.
Zhao Lichun and Zhao Ruilong sat on both sides. Zhao Lichun was wearing a dark Mao suit. Although he was over fifty years old, he still exuded a majestic aura.
Zhao Ruilong was wearing fashionable brand-name clothes, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness on his face.
The table was filled with exquisite dishes, each of which was delicious and exuded an enticing aroma.
There are juicy braised abalone, fragrant steamed grouper, exquisitely shaped dim sum and so on.
However, no one had the heart to taste these delicious dishes at the moment.
The leader was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat slightly, and said in a heavy and serious tone: "I invited you two here today because I want to have a good talk. Everyone is clear about the current situation. Don't make a big fuss. Although you have a good chance of winning, what if something goes wrong? Lichun, let me show my cards. I won't beat around the bush! After me, it's your turn. You are only one step away from the top of Handong Province. Do you want to take the risk?"
After hearing this, Zhao Lichun showed annoyance on his face. He frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed strong dissatisfaction and helplessness.
"Is this the risk I want to take? Others are forcing me to take it! I have paid so much for Handong, but now I am being pressed step by step by others."
His voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was extremely excited.
Zhao Ruilong also said: "Our Zhao family has made great contributions to Handong. Over the years, we have made great contributions to economic construction and investment attraction. Are we going to get rid of them just because of some minor problems? We can give benefits to Qi Tongwei and Luo Shanhe, and we can also make concessions, but they are pushing us too hard, and they are just about to put a knife on our necks."
His tone was filled with anger and resentment.
The leader frowned slightly, with a helpless look on his face.
He sighed softly and said, "I don't want to see this situation, but now that things have developed to this point, I can only say that I will find a way to relieve the pressure as much as possible."
He was well aware that he was in an extremely difficult situation. On the one hand, he had to follow the orders from above and investigate the problem strictly. On the other hand, he could not let the situation get out of control and affect the stability and development of Handong.
The top leader knew clearly that he initially supported Luo Shanhe because of orders from above to investigate the problems here thoroughly.
At the same time, he didn't want Zhao Lichun's family to dominate the market.
Logically speaking, the common idea of a top leader is to train a successor, or to cultivate two forces to compete with each other and develop each other.
He chose the latter method, otherwise he couldn't let Zhao Lichun dominate the market, right?
Liang Qunfeng was in cahoots with him, not to mention the officials from Jingzhou.
If Zhao Lichun's power is allowed to expand, the political ecology of Handong will become extremely unhealthy and not conducive to long-term development.
For any individual or politician who reaches their position, power and money are not their only pursuits.
What they hope more is that their political views will not be overturned, that their policies can be implemented and enforced, and that they can make real contributions to the country and the people.
But now the situation is like fire and water. Zhao Lichun does have a chance, but if Luo Shanhe wins again, they may really be eliminated. So how to break the deadlock? The person who tied the bell must untie it!
The top leader quickly locked onto one person - Liang Lu.
After a lot of intelligence analysis.
He has detailed information about the people under his command.
As a key figure, Liang Lu is the fuse that inspires Qi Tongwei to go to Jinghai!
The top leader looked at Zhao Lichun and Zhao Ruilong and said slowly, "We need to calm down now and think of a proper solution. Liang Lu may be the key to our breakthrough. We can use her to convey our sincerity and concessions and strive to reach some kind of compromise with Qi Tongwei and Luo Shanhe."
