In the small conference room of the Provincial Party Committee, the secretary's office meeting was being held in a depressing and dull atmosphere.

There are nine people in total, including Provincial Party Committee Secretary Yan Huafeng, Governor Zheng Qisheng, Provincial Party Committee Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Zhu Changlei, Executive Vice Governor Liu Libin, Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Xu Jianxun, Organization Minister Cao Cheng, Propaganda Minister Ou Qingwen, Ganquan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shen Tongyu, and Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General Zhao Liangde.

The majority of the Standing Committee members were present, and the main issues discussed were, first, how to deal with the violation of life discipline by Wen Mosheng, Vice Chairman of Ganquan Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Chairman of the Writers Association, and second, the slow progress in the investigation of the violation of discipline by Zhou Shiyuan, Executive Vice Mayor of Ganquan.

These two issues may not be a big problem under normal circumstances, but under the special circumstances where the inspection team entered Jiangnan and official killers were eyeing them covetously, even Yan Huafeng and Zheng Qisheng did not dare to take it lightly and had to treat them with caution.

They don't want to embarrass Jiangnan, but they also can't let the inspection team think that they are taking a light-hearted approach in dealing with the problem. This is indeed a test of the political wisdom of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee's leadership team.

"Wen Mosheng has seriously violated life discipline and is morally corrupt. It is only right that he be severely punished. I don't understand why there is any hesitation!" Deputy Secretary Zhu Changlei said expressionlessly.

Deputy Secretary Zhu is now like a powder keg. Even when facing the provincial party secretary and the governor, he does not hide his dissatisfaction.

No one would be happy if they were accused of something, let alone something that could cost someone’s life. Before the matter was investigated, he, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was completely a criminal in the eyes of everyone. Even Jin Haiyan, the director of the Public Security Department whom he had promoted, became a little uneasy, not to mention the others!

So, true friendship is revealed in times of crisis, and crisis is also the greatest test of one’s heart!

"It must be dealt with. The key is how to deal with it. After all, we still have to consider the impact!" said Propaganda Minister Ou Qingwen with a twinkle in his eyes.

"As long as we follow the procedures, the dirty things Wen Mosheng did will have an impact! We can't just violate the rules and not deal with them just for the sake of the impact, right?" Organization Minister Cao Chen asked back with a frown.

He has disliked Wen Mosheng for a long time. This dislike stems from the fact that after reading some of Vice President Wen's masterpieces, he felt deeply disgusted by the hypocritical righteousness and shameless double standards revealed between the lines!

At the same time, he also had a lot of opinions about Ou Qingwen. An official did not do his job honestly, but pretended to be a poet all day long. He published seven or eight poetry collections. He didn't know what others felt about those poems, but he felt that they were offensive after reading them.

The sentence that impressed him the most was "Without a doubt, I am/will be/the people's servant now and forever!"

This poem won a prize! And it was the second prize of XX Literature Award!

Cao Chen was not surprised that Ou Qingwen spoke for Wen Mosheng. Ou Qingwen's current status in the poetry world was inseparable from Wen Mosheng's recommendation and flattery.

Ganquan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shen Tongyu quickly said: "I think what Minister Qingwen meant is to find a win-win solution to control the adverse effects within a certain range."

"I don't think such a method exists, especially when the inspection team is paying close attention to it," said Xu Jianxun, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, shaking his head.

"Everything depends on human effort! My opinion is to first remove Wen Mosheng from his position as vice chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles and chairman of the Writers Association. We will not tolerate his serious violation of life discipline and moral corruption, but will temporarily delay the handling time. It will not be too late to announce the results of his handling after the "Yanyu Jiangnan" large-scale art performance is over, so as to prevent this bad apple from affecting our Jiangnan tourism and cultural promotion plans!"

Executive Vice Governor Liu Libin put forward a very pertinent suggestion. In fact, this suggestion had already been agreed upon by Governor Zheng Qisheng.

Yan Huafeng remained calm on the surface, but he was quite interested in it.

The large-scale art performance "Yanyu Jiangnan" will be officially held on May 20th. The publicity and cultural departments of Jiangnan Province have spent a lot of effort on this, designing and building an exquisite and grand stage, inviting various stars and celebrities from the literary and art circles, and preparing very exciting programs. This is to increase the publicity of Jiangnan culture and tourism and to cooperate with the vigorous promotion of the "Jiangnan Water Village" urban construction plan.

So, Liu Libin’s opinion is good, but the problem is how to convince the inspection team, well, to put it bluntly, how to convince Zhou Yi to accept this opinion.

"We can try to explain the specific situation to the inspection team. I believe the inspection team can understand our difficulties. Another thing I suggest is to ask Teacher Dong Qing to come forward to communicate."

Secretary-General Zhao Liangde also followed suit.

Yan Huafeng's eyes suddenly lit up. Hey, this suggestion is feasible.

Teacher Dongqing is highly respected and has both good morals and good art. She was once the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. This Federation of Literary and Art Circles does not refer to the provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, but the Federation of Chinese Literature. Although she has been retired for many years, she still cares about the cultural cause of her hometown. This time, for the large-scale art performance "Yanyu Jiangnan", Teacher Dongqing used her connections to invite many old friends of the same period to come and support her.

If Teacher Dong Qing could come forward, the inspection team would probably consider listening to the opinions of this veteran artist.

Yan Huafeng and Zheng Qisheng nodded in succession, expressing their agreement.

"As for Zhou Shiyuan's issue, you need to speed up the process!"

Yan Huafeng turned his gaze to the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Xu Jianxun. What he meant was that if they could not give the inspection team a completely satisfactory feedback on the issue of Wen Mosheng, then they should try to find compensation from Zhou Shiyuan.

Because of the comparison between the two, Zhou Shiyuan's nature was more serious and attracted more attention from Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Shiyuan refused to confess, and Julie of Deshun Group also denied any money-for-power transactions with Zhou Shiyuan. The Discipline Inspection Commission has now joined forces with the audit and procurement management departments to investigate Deshun Company's bidding projects, but this takes time." Xu Jianxun said with some embarrassment.

Zhou Shiyuan cannot be convicted based on just a video. The key is to look at the evidence. The process of investigating and collecting evidence is a meticulous job that takes time and effort.

"We have patience, but the inspection team may not. Let's put other work aside for now, seize the time, concentrate our energy, and handle Zhou Shiyuan's case." Yan Huafeng warned in a deep voice.

Governor Zheng Qisheng's eyes flickered, and he added, "Secretary Yan's point is that we should focus on both efficiency and evidence, and try to take both into account."

Yan Huafeng nodded. This was indeed what he meant, but what did Zheng Qisheng mean by emphasizing it again?
