Democratic Life Meeting: The Siege of Gao Yuliang!

Gao Yuliang soon received news that Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin was going to preside over a democratic life meeting, which was scheduled for two days later!

Gao Yuliang laughed instantly.

Two days later, Wu Chunlin, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and head of the Organization Department of Handong Province, was to go to Luzhou City for an inspection tour. It was a work inspection tour that had been planned long ago and could not be avoided.

He had just taken office when his ally, Wu Chunlin, the head of the provincial organization department, went on an inspection tour. Holding a democratic life meeting at this crucial juncture was clearly a direct attack on him, wasn't it?

However, Gao Yuliang did not take this matter to heart. Things were different now. In the past, he was the full-time deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. He was just the deputy of the provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin, and was born to be inferior.

Currently, I am the deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province, and the governor of the Provincial Government of Handong Province, which is no less than that of Sha Ruijin, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province!

What is there to fear about myself?

Time flies, and two days later, Gao Yuliang was invited to attend the provincial party committee's democratic life meeting. As soon as he got off the car, he saw his "old friend"... Secretary-General Qian.

Upon seeing Gao Yuliang, Qian Weiguo immediately approached and questioned, "Governor Gao, I never expected that you would be taken away by the inspection team and not only be unharmed, but also be parachuted back to Handong as governor..."

Gao Yuliang said thoughtfully, "Old Qian, I remember you have heart disease, right?"

Qian Weiguo was taken aback. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Gao Yuliang smiled meaningfully, "It's alright. Prepare some quick-acting heart medicine for this democratic life meeting. If you really can't hold on, we can have the hospital send an ambulance in advance..."

After saying that, Gao Yuliang ignored Qian Weiguo and strode into the provincial party committee building, heading straight for the conference room!

Upon seeing Secretary Qian, Gao Yuliang knew what tricks Sha Ruijin was up to. It was nothing more than the same old trick: to use Qian Weiguo's words to launch a massive critique of him in order to establish his own authority!

Unfortunately, this time, Sha Ruijin miscalculated!

Gao Yuliang was determined to not only regain the face he had lost before, but also to take special care of Secretary Qian, who had been targeting him in every way before!

In the provincial party committee meeting room of Handong Province, all the members of the provincial party committee standing committee were present, except for Wu Chunlin, the provincial party committee organization minister who was away on an inspection tour.

After entering the conference room, Gao Yuliang glanced around the conference table. Sha Ruijin had really gone to great lengths; even the layout of the tables and chairs was exactly the same as when he was besieged last time!

This time, Gao Yuliang should have sat in the original seat of Governor Liu, but he did not sit according to the order. Instead, he went to the seat he had been sitting in before and sat down across the table from Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin.

Many members of the Standing Committee were puzzled as to why Gao Yuliang, as the governor, would lower himself to sit in the position of Lu Zhenguo, the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

The next second, when they saw Secretary Qian walk in, everyone's pupils contracted, and they immediately realized what was going on!

They were all too familiar with this scene!

Last time, in this very meeting room, Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin invited Secretary-General Qian, and together with Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu and Jingzhou Municipal Party Secretary Li Dakang, launched a siege against Gao Yuliang, who was then the full-time deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission!

The outcome was obvious. No matter how much Gao Yuliang tried to argue, he couldn't fight against overwhelming odds and could only end up in defeat.

That meeting foreshadowed the further weakening of Gao Yuliang's power. For a long time afterward, many people did not take Gao Yuliang seriously, including his subordinate, Ji Changming, the chief prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate!

It is obvious that Gao Yuliang has returned to Handong to serve as governor, while also serving as deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission. He is currently enjoying great success!

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin has sensed the crisis and is trying to repeat his old tricks by attacking and suppressing Governor Gao Yuliang through today's so-called democratic life meeting in order to assert his core power.

Governor Gao Yuliang, who was at the center of the storm, made a more direct statement, returning to his old position and sitting opposite Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin at the same table!

That makes it clear that they're going against you!

Lu Zhenguo, the provincial deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, arrived late and was filled with doubt when he saw Governor Gao Yuliang sitting in his seat. Fortunately, Wu Chunlin, the head of the provincial organization department, was away on an inspection tour and the seat was vacant, otherwise it would have been a problem where he sat.

After everyone had arrived, Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin looked at everyone present and broke the silence by saying, "This democratic life meeting will only discuss one topic, which is the problems that some cadres still have after being promoted and given important positions. We will conduct a thorough self-examination and self-criticism."

"I hope everyone can speak freely and frankly. Let's have some internal discussions and self-criticism, but let's not resort to violence or find fault with each other."

Everyone present understood that when Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin said those things, his real purpose was only one thing: to target the newly appointed Governor of Handong Province, Gao Yuliang!

As expected, no sooner had Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin finished speaking than Jingzhou Municipal Party Secretary Li Dakang immediately raised his hand and said, "Secretary Sha, when it comes to the problems I have left behind, I want to be the first to conduct self-examination and self-criticism."

Li Dakang glanced at the assembled Standing Committee members and began, "Back when I was the Party Secretary of Lincheng, a deputy mayor was placed under investigation for economic issues. I failed to learn from that experience, neglecting the supervision of officials and ultimately leading to the Ding Yizhen incident!"

"I must deeply reflect on this matter and accept the criticism from the organization and the provincial party committee!"

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin smiled and said, "Comrade Dakang has set a good example for us. Being able to recognize and face our own problems is what makes him a good comrade."

Secretary Qian, who had been invited by Sha Ruijin, looked up at Gao Yuliang and said jokingly, "Yes, Secretary Dakang's self-criticism really touched me. Unlike some cadres in Handong Province, who get promoted the more problems they have, and the bigger the problems, the faster they get promoted!"

"Take Vice Governor Qi Tongwei as an example. There have been countless reports and complaints against him, big and small, yet he still rose to the position of Vice Governor. Why?"

Tian Guofu then spoke up: "Speaking of Comrade Qi Tongwei, before he was promoted to vice governor, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection received a report against him, which has only recently been confirmed."

"Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin, the general manager of Shanshui Group, have a son. Furthermore, Qi Tongwei has established a HK$100 million trust fund for his son. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is considering transferring the evidence of Qi Tongwei's illegal and criminal activities to higher-level organizations."

Secretary Qian's gaze shifted slightly, landing on Gao Yuliang. He said jokingly, "Governor Gao, this HK$100 million trust fund was jointly proposed by your son and Qi Tongwei's son. As the person involved, could you give us an in-depth analysis?"

Gao Yuliang opened the water glass, took a small sip, and then calmly put the lid back on. "Alright, I'll say a few words."
