Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 441 Bad News

“Comrades, our city’s achievements in the past two years are obvious to all.

The city's economic growth ranks among the highest in the country, and it is one of the best cities in the country in terms of reform and opening up.

But it was precisely this good result of ours that caused us to lose our vigilance.

It is true that reform and opening up is like crossing a river by feeling the stones, but we must also gain something from feeling the stones.

What is this? Duplicate construction. Are these constructions appropriate or not? Which district or county has conducted research on this?

They just thought that it would be easier to get approval this way, and there was funding available, so everyone rushed to do it.

This money is the people's money. If we cannot use it in a practical, correct and critical way, we will be irresponsible to the people and violate discipline.

I think it's a good thing that the provincial government is going to audit our projects. They are pulling our sleeves and tightening our skin, and reminding us that we are still responsible to the people and our superiors for what we do.

However, before the provincial government comes, our city must conduct a self-inspection, the Municipal Audit Bureau will conduct a comprehensive audit of these projects, and the Municipal Planning Commission will verify whether these projects are beneficial to the people. "

......

After the meeting, Qi Tongwei sat in the car and felt a little overwhelmed. What should he do?

So a call was made to the leader, Jin Xinkai.

"Brother, what on earth is going on?

Isn’t this a big trouble?

We have so many key projects on hand that the audit alone is a big hassle.”

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. Mayor Gao was called to the provincial government and severely criticized. Even several provincial departments were notified.

It was the new Vice Governor Zhao. When he was sorting out the province's project expenditures, he discovered problems with project approval in several cities and prefectures.

As for the problem of wasting funds, we are still relatively well off. Other cities and prefectures have dug a road seven times, repeatedly taking money from the finances at all levels and enriching themselves at the expense of the public.

The Audit Office and the Discipline Inspection Commission have entered the city to conduct an audit first. I heard that the cadres will be severely punished, and the leaders of the municipal party committee and government will also be punished. "

“Is it really that exaggerated? This sounds like a good thing. It is about controlling fiscal spending, eliminating waste and reducing the space for rent-seeking corruption.

However, if such a wind blows over, although the projects in our area are all normal projects, they will also be affected.

It’s not certain when the work will start, so what should we do now?

We can’t stop several projects, can we? "

“Nonsense! How could the construction be suspended? The projects in our district have all been fully demonstrated, and no one is seeking rent or engaging in corruption. I am confident of this.

That's not a big problem. They are fighting corruption and we are developing normally.

If so many key projects were to be suspended, we would be letting down the people.

Don't worry, I can handle the city, and you need to calm people down as for the district.

Don’t let this affect you.”

"It's easy to say, but it's impossible not to be affected. Just do your best."

After a few days, there was still no movement in the district, but the turmoil in the neighboring city had intensified.

"Is this true? A deputy district chief over there jumped off a building?"

Qi Tongwei asked Yang Zhengwei, and the other party nodded quickly.

"If things get so serious, everyone will be in danger."

Qi Tongwei shook his head and did not quite agree with the province's approach to the matter. Now is a period of rapid development of reform and opening up, and corruption can be fought, but the impact must be small.

Otherwise, the same situation would occur as in the previous life when Li Dakang was in charge of Lincheng City. Most investors, fearing the danger to themselves due to the anti-corruption campaign, fled early, which in turn dragged down the development of the region and caused Lincheng to never recover.

“Alas, no one knows what the higher-ups are thinking.

I heard that the next stop of the provincial party committee inspection team will be our city.”

Qi Tongwei listened without saying anything. He was already prepared. He first asked the district audit bureau to conduct a simple audit of all the projects and found out several people who took kickbacks in the projects. Anyway, what was certain was that cadres above the deputy section level were afraid of the style of Jin and Qi. At the same time, they still had expectations for the cadre promotion system that was relatively fair to them and did not rely on giving or running around.

There are definitely still some problems, but they will not be too big. Several developers and construction units have also given sufficient instructions, so there should be no major issues.

They are afraid that things happening in other areas will affect these developers and construction units. Often, the corruption of one official will involve a bunch of bosses.

............

Qi Tongwei was not wrong in his estimation, and the province's approach did indeed cause dissatisfaction among his superiors.

Governor Li Juncheng is discussing this matter with Zhao Mengsheng.

"Old Zhao, this matter cannot be continued, the inspection team should be withdrawn.

The higher-ups are already unhappy, why has the matter become such a big deal?

The investigation and punishment of one or two corrupt officials should not cause such a big uproar."

Executive Zhao obviously disagrees.

“No, the inspection team must continue, the officials below are too bold.

Take the man who jumped off the building. He was a deputy director-level official but he was able to embezzle tens of millions. This was people's money, not money that the corrupt officials put in their own pockets.

I will report this to the secretary and will not embarrass you."

After saying that, Executive Zhao stood up and left. Li Luche was very helpless as he had to deal with such a deputy whose work style was too radical and whose economic development policies were too conservative. However, the superiors specially sent him down, so he must have his own arrangements.

"These young men are fearless these days."

Li Lujun muttered to himself.

After Li Luche was promoted to governor, it was the first time he took the initiative to call Qi Tongwei. His identity was different and the matter was different. Unlike when he was working in politics and law before, the governor was very busy every day. The heads of various ministries and commissions above all took the initiative to contact him, as well as the leaders of the State Council and the central government. He also contacted the two top officials of the province.

After this period of job experience, Li Strategy's whole demeanor has changed.

"Jiangbei New District? Look for your district chief, Li Jihua from the provincial government. Go find him right away. I'll wait for him to answer the phone."

At this time, Qi Tongwei was in the conference room with the District Audit Bureau checking the accounts of several projects, carefully looking to see if there was anything wrong. Although he was not afraid of corruption, what if there were other problems with the accounts and the project was stopped by the inspection team?

It's the people's money that is spent every day. An officer from the General Affairs Department under Lu Qiang ran into the meeting room quickly. When Qi Tongwei saw him, he frowned, thinking that the young man was not stable. But soon, after hearing the news, he ran into the office even more unstable.

After stabilizing his breathing, Qi Tongwei stood up and answered the phone.

"Hello, Senior Brother."

"You little rascal, your mayor Gao should have mentioned this to you last time.

Speaking of the provincial audit of these key projects. "
