Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 874 Deadlock

Zhong Xiaoai still had tears in her eyes as she listened to her old father's teachings. It had been so long since she went to college. Her father had already been a superior in a ministry, and he was so busy that they could not see each other every day.

As for her, she also began to get more and more accustomed to the additional privileges that came with her father's power. When the teachers at school saw her father's position, they would take better care of her. When it came time for graduation assignment, her father could transfer her to the capital with just one phone call.

During the one-year internship at the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, Hou Liangping would come to Beijing to reunite with her during every holiday. At that time, Zhong Zhengguo seemed to not like Hou Liangping very much, and asked him to help transfer Hou Liangping back to Beijing, but he always refused, saying that he would wait until after the internship period.

It was not until Hou Liangping's internship period ended and the two began to discuss marriage that Zhong Zhengguo had no choice but to use his connections to transfer Hou Liangping to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

It was also from that time that Zhong Xiaoai and Hou Liangping began to get used to enjoying such privileges. Those students without backgrounds could only be assigned to units in their registered places of residence, no matter how good their grades were.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai recalled the rumors about Qi Tongwei. Classmates said that in order to be transferred to Beijing and join the anti-drug team with Sister Chen Yang, senior Qi Tongwei braved bullets and made meritorious contributions, and finally got his wish and was transferred to the Ministry of Public Security.

Yes, classmates from ordinary families have to work very hard and even fight with drug dealers and get shot three times to have the chance to be transferred to the unit they want, but for them and their spouse, isn’t it too easy for them to get everything?

However, news soon spread that Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang were not together at all. Senior Qi Tongwei soon found a young and lovely junior from the drama academy and got married quickly.

Yes, the couple seemed to have become accustomed to others tolerating them, and to being able to easily go to units that others could not even dream of going to. All of this came from Zhong Zhengguo's power and status.

What if all this is gone? How are civil servants from ordinary families supposed to get along with their colleagues? Zhong Xiaoai thought of the youngest person in their inspection office, a top student who graduated from Huaqing University. He was only 30 years old and had taken three selection exams all the way from the county to his current unit. The leaders of the unit all said that he was a genius and that taking exams and writing articles were no difficulty at all for him.

Zhong Xiaoai discovered that if she and this genius started from the same starting line and had a similar family background, she would never see the other person's back in her entire life.

It is because I am Zhong Zhengguo's daughter that I can become his leader at such a young age. This time my father's position may change. How should I get along with my colleagues in the future?

........Dividing line........

Returning to Zhongjiang Province, Hou Liangping and Zhong Xiaoai were just spoiled children. They were nearly 40 years old and their behavior was fixed. Even if they changed their minds, it was too late now.

Qi Tongwei didn't think that the two of them could turn things around. You know, in his previous life, even when Hou Liangping met Sha Ruijin, who was the provincial party secretary, he was arrogant and didn't have any basic manners. If Sha Ruijin didn't want to use the power behind Hou Liangping, how could he use such a stupid cannon.

Hu Haiou is looking at the interrogation records in the place where he is detained under double-regulations.

"You mean, on the first day, Xin Hui betrayed his old leader, and then for so many days, you kept bombarding him, dividing him into four groups and interrogating him for twenty hours a day, and he didn't say anything useful?"

The investigator who was interrogating Xin looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes. He had never expected Xin to be so difficult to deal with. His performance on the first day was too confusing.

Hu Haiou was also an experienced disciplinary inspector. He felt deeply that this matter was not normal and continued to look through the interrogation records in silence.

"Bring Chen Hua's records here."

Looking through Chen Hua's interrogation records, Hu Haiou had already conceived a story in his mind about a young cadre who had persisted in his beliefs for twenty years, but was dragged into the situation because his daughter's study abroad emptied the family's money and his younger brother met some illegal businessmen.

Chen Hua initially served as the director of another department. Even if he wanted to be corrupt, he could only find one or two projects a year to embezzle tens of millions of yuan. It was not until he was transferred to the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development that he discovered the treasure trove.

All construction projects in the province must go through the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, and every form must be signed by Chen Hua. This power is enormous.

However, Chen Hua was a smart man and he immediately discovered the disadvantage of accepting money from others, which was that his reputation would spread outside. For example, the deputies in the team, such as Xin Hui, would have a bad reputation in the mouths of the businessmen.

Chen Hua planned for several months before the plan was complete. He asked his brother to set up a real estate development company, and Chen Hua used his power to get a plot of land almost out of nothing. Then he relied on his power to complete all the subsequent procedures and made hundreds of millions.

Of course, if Chen Hua relied on his own funds instead of making money out of nothing, he would actually earn more. If he did it himself, even if he was the director of a department in charge, he would have distributed a lot of profits to others.

But Chen Hua was too naive. He really thought that if he didn't accept other people's money, he would not attract the attention of the Discipline Inspection Commission. As soon as Hu Haiou and his team came to investigate, they immediately discovered this real estate project. Because the problems here were too obvious, they used a certain search website to check the legal representative of the real estate developer and found that it was actually the name of the director's younger brother.

A real estate developer with a little experience would not make such a low-level mistake. He would usually set up a company specifically for a project, find a scapegoat to be the legal person, and find a bunch of capable people to be hidden shareholders to share the risk.

The director's brother foolishly did it on his own and did not cooperate with any capable real estate developer, so naturally a lot of low-level mistakes occurred.

There were no surprises during Chen Hua's interrogation. He was just an inexperienced corrupt official, and within two days he had made him recall the details of peeking at the widow next door taking a bath when he was a child.

In the past few days, most of the team members and middle-level managers of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department have been arrested, leaving only a few. As a result, the normal functions of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department have been suspended, and the leaders of the provincial government are worried.

However, the time is still short, and it is hard to find a three-legged frog, but the two-legged cadres who want to get promoted are queuing up from Central China to France. As long as the provincial party committee reaches a consensus, a list of more than ten new housing and construction department teams can be drawn up in minutes.

Of course, Hu Haiou doesn't need to worry about these things. He has done a lot of work in the past few months, naturally in order to make a good start when Qi Tongwei comes down, but now it seems that he is still a little anxious to do things.

But there was no point in being anxious, so Hu Haiou sat down and called back several deputies for a meeting.
