Chapter 412 One man's success is built on the bones of ten thousand! What harm is there in usin
Fu Wenbing took the matter very seriously and was deeply worried.
He feared that Zhao Ruilong had underestimated Tian Guofu.
Little did he know that Zhao Ruilong beside him was a time traveler.
I am quite familiar with Tian Guofu, an important character in the original TV series "In the Name of the People".
Many people say that he, who loves to tattle and speaks in a sarcastic tone, is the ultimate winner.
Because Sha Ruijin had only been in Handong for three months, he had already caused the death of a deputy mayor, Ding Yizhen, driven a public security bureau chief, Qi Tongwei, to commit suicide after being shot three times and receiving the title of anti-drug hero, and arrested a provincial party committee deputy secretary, Gao Yuliang.
Sha Ruijin, who came to Handong with a mission, originally intended to bring down the Zhao family quietly. However, he caused such a commotion that his mission had obviously failed. The higher-ups had no choice but to take action and place Zhao Lichun under investigation. Tian Guofu was the one who told him the news.
That's why.
Sha Ruijin only showed a shocked expression when Tian Guofu told him that Zhao Lichun had been placed under investigation.
As the top official in Handong, a powerful regional governor, he was completely unaware of such a significant event beforehand.
Clearly, the higher-ups had lost faith in him, and his political career began its countdown from that moment on.
but……
Due to Zhao Ruilong's time travel, the plot has undergone a significant change.
Zhao Ruilong not only failed to build a food city at Crescent Lake in Luzhou, causing environmental pollution, but also frantically raised money from overseas and invested heavily in numerous high-tech industries.
Crucially, he also persuaded his father, Zhao Lichun, to take the lead in changing his work style, working diligently to develop a high-quality economy, and achieving remarkable results in Handong.
With his own integrity, diligence, and remarkable achievements, and with President Shen, who appreciates his father, not yet stepping down, my father, Zhao Lichun, naturally has the hope for even faster and greater advancement.
But this also led to the struggle being brought forward.
Ge Junshan didn't have time. After Tian Guofu and Sha Ruijin grew up, he would promote Zhao Lichun in name only and transfer him away from Handong, just like in the original drama. He would first send Tian Guofu to scout ahead, and then parachute Sha Ruijin in.
In particular, in the last two years, Zhong Zhengguo, a protégé, was dismissed in disgrace, and the General Administration of Sport, which thought itself to be impregnable, was also exposed to a corruption scandal, and its director, Tang Wentao, was implicated and dismissed.
As his capable lieutenants dwindled and his influence and voice continued to diminish, Ge Junshan was naturally furious. Even if it meant losing eight hundred enemies and a thousand of his own, he was determined to launch a massive anti-corruption campaign.
The first inspection team is composed of a large number of elite personnel, each of whom is principled and has rich experience in handling cases.
He tried every means to send the first inspection team to Handong, rather than Dongguang or Tianhai, which have a more important economic status.
This shows how much he wanted to bring down the Zhao family of Handong.
Even more unexpectedly...
In addition to the first inspection team that was sent out openly.
He also arranged for a secret team to infiltrate Handong.
The person leading the team was still that treacherous scoundrel, Tian Guofu.
This can be seen.
He genuinely wanted to investigate both overtly and covertly, to stir up a huge upheaval in Handong.
Even if she couldn't find any evidence against her and her siblings, she couldn't bring down her father, Zhao Lichun, through corruption.
However, he also wanted to get rid of many of his father's favorites who had been cultivated and promoted over the past twenty years, in order to weaken the Zhao family.
Raising the banner of justice against corruption with such overwhelming force, it is impossible to stop them; naturally, we can only be cautious and vigilant.
Zhao Ruilong downed the wine in one gulp and slammed the glass down.
"Sending the first inspection team to our Handong is not enough; we also need Tian Guofu to lead a team for a secret investigation. Old Ge is really going to great lengths to keep the officialdom in Handong clean!"
Fu Wenbing sneered.
"Anti-corruption is a catch-all phrase; anything can be thrown into it."
"If we really want to investigate and punish them severely, how many people in Handong are absolutely clean?"
“Even if you started fighting corruption and promoting integrity and changing your work style a long time ago.”
"But with countless engineering projects and rapid economic development in the past two years, there must be quite a few people taking advantage of the situation to make money secretly."
"I'd even bet that among your father's close associates, there are still some who can't withstand scrutiny, and they're in serious danger this time too!"
"They can't find conclusive evidence to have targeted your father, but dealing with his subordinates or allies, such as Governor Liu, Deputy Secretary Tang, and their subordinates, is not so difficult."
"Anyway, they're going to use a two-pronged approach this time to make things really messy in Handong, even if it affects Handong's high-quality economic development!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.
"They only care about investigating and arresting people, but they don't care how much normal work is delayed during the investigation, or how much adverse impact it has on economic development."
Fu Wenbing stood up slightly, picked up the wine bottle, and said as he poured the wine:
"This is struggle! Throughout history, there have always been people who will stop at nothing to seize power and profit, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people!"
“Using anti-corruption as a means of combating corruption is not only justified and popular, but also has a particularly high success rate.”
"Many people who hold real power, along with their relatives and friends, cannot withstand repeated attacks of sugar-coated bullets."
"In this mundane world, money can buy a more comfortable life, but how many people can resist it?"
After putting down the bottle and sitting down, Fu Wenbing took a drag of his cigarette and sighed deeply, saying:
"Just yesterday, a cousin of mine and his wife were both detained. The reason they were put in there was quite funny."
"Wasn't there the World Cup last month? His wife usually secretly trades foreign exchange and US stocks, and during the competition, she was also betting on football on overseas websites."
“A few days ago, the website suddenly became inaccessible, and all the money in his family’s domestic and foreign bank accounts disappeared. His wife not only reported it to the police, but also complained and asked for help in the group.”
"Now that someone has reported us, our assets have been exposed. It is said that more than 30 million US dollars have suddenly disappeared from our Citibank account, which has been used for overseas investments for a long time."
"My cousin is only a deputy director-general level official. Where did he get hundreds of millions in assets? The amount involved in the case is huge and completely inconsistent with their normal income. Naturally, they were invited for tea!"
Zhao Ruilong gave an awkward smile.
How dare you say that the money your cousins worked so hard to earn has already gone into their own pockets?
"Is his wife that stupid? The huge amount of money she has is of dubious origin. Isn't calling the police just walking into a trap?"
"She actually went to the group to complain and ask for help. Didn't she realize that she chose the wrong person to complain to and would only be ridiculed?"
Fu Wenbing picked up his wine glass and gave a bitter smile.
"Her IQ is by no means low. She has a master's degree in finance from Tianhai Jiaotong University and works at the Dongpu branch of Tianhai Bank. Otherwise, she wouldn't know about overseas investment."
"I suspect that she was so angry that her years of hard work had been wiped out that she lost her mind and did something stupid that is incomprehensible to ordinary people."
"But I think it was only a matter of time before their family ran into trouble. They became officials but still wanted to get rich. Their family had a very high standard of living and lived a sophisticated, bourgeois lifestyle."
"Moreover, his wife has studied Western economics for too long, and she has become particularly fond of the West. Not only does she eat Western food and live in Western-style houses, but she also always praises the West when she attends gatherings and chats. Her children have long been planned to study abroad."
"You say they are public servants, yet they want to live the life of capitalists. How can they not be corrupt? If they don't engage in power-for-money transactions and abuse their power for personal gain, where will they get the money to live a carefree and comfortable life and invest in gambling?"
Zhao Ruilong picked up his glass, lightly clinked it with Fu Wenbing's, and took a small sip.
"Many people become corrupt and degenerate simply because they have failed to recognize their place and forgotten their original aspirations."
"Although I have a stable income and no worries about retirement, and my life is much better than that of ordinary people, I still can't control my greed."
"Yes!"
Fu Wenbing put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks, and while eating, he complained:
“In a materialistic metropolis like Tianhai, they earn several thousand yuan a month, plus various bonuses and subsidies. They also receive hidden benefits in areas such as healthcare, education, and housing, making their lives far better than those of ordinary people.”
"But they don't see how hard ordinary people work to earn money, and they don't realize that their lives are already the envy of many people. They only see the merchants who are humble and obsequious to them, yet they can live a life of extravagance and debauchery."
"He was not strong-willed to begin with, and he longed to live the petit-bourgeois life like the Western elites or even aristocrats. Once his mentality became unbalanced, he naturally became corrupt and degenerate. He amassed a lot of windfall but thought it was his due. So when the money disappeared, he was so anxious that he called the police and asked for help."
Zhao Ruilong nodded silently.
It goes against human nature to want those who hold real power to not want to live the life of the rich.
Without strong self-discipline and a strong desire for progress or a safe landing, it is difficult to resist various temptations in the absence of effective supervision and constraints.
Throughout history and across the world, there have been very few people who truly care about the people and are selfless at all times.
"To be honest, if my family hadn't been so strict with me, and if I hadn't worked in a state-owned enterprise where I received relatively better treatment and didn't have much need for material things, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation."
"Corruption is like taking drugs. Once you've had the first time and tasted that euphoric feeling, it's impossible to quit. The addiction will only grow stronger, the corruption will increase, and ultimately it will ruin a promising life or even cost you your life!"
“I have discussed with my family many times how to eradicate corruption, but we have not been able to come up with a completely effective solution. This is because a perfect power oversight mechanism does not exist, and even the best system still needs people to implement it, right?”
Zhao Ruilong put down his chopsticks and picked up his wine glass.
"So, knowing full well that there could be no corruption in Handong, launching an anti-corruption campaign is a classic example of a calculated move!"
"That's right!!"
Fu Wenbing picked up his wine glass and said with a helpless expression:
"Corruption is a scourge on the country and its people and should indeed be opposed. We should fight corruption at all times, and regardless of rank or position, anyone who crosses the red line should be brought down!"
"But to stand on the moral high ground of eliminating harm for the country and the people, and use anti-corruption as a tool of struggle to hinder normal duties and affect the national economy and people's livelihood, that's just a bunch of bad intentions!"
At this point, Fu Wenbing clinked his glass heavily against Zhao Ruilong's.
As the saying goes, "Treat others as they treat you."
"Are you saying that Ge Junshan has been in officialdom for decades without any problems?"
"Even if he has no problems, his late father can't bring up the past, but what about his relatives and friends?"
Zhao Ruilong raised an eyebrow.
"You're aiming for the generalship, brother!"
Fu Wenbing tilted his head back and drank the full cup in one gulp.
"If he wants to fight, then let's make it bigger!"
"How can we let the lowly soldiers and crab generals fight to the death, causing rivers of blood to flow?"
"Those in high positions should set a good example and withstand the test!"
Zhao Ruilong downed his drink in one gulp, then frowned and said:
"But if we can think of this trick, how could he not?"
"He's been in the underworld for decades, what kind of struggles hasn't he experienced? How could he possibly have never been investigated?"
"It's not easy to bring down an old fox like him who's almost become a master of his craft. Even if the people around him turn against him, it'll be tough."
Fu Wenbing became anxious.
"If you can't retaliate in kind, then what are you planning to do?"
