Chapter 1021: Chapter 977 Major Incident Happened Chapter 1021: Chapter 977 Major Incident Happened Nie Zhenbang’s words carried a lightness, but at this mont, Xu Hongzhuan, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee, could not afford to feel relaxed at all. The ntion of the incidents in Luji City gave Xu Hongzhuan quite a headache.
After pondering for a mont, Xu Hongzhuan spoke, “Secretary Nie, I am truly sorry to disturb you during the New Year’s celebrations, but just now, sothing significant has happened in Luji City.”
Upon hearing Xu Hongzhuan’s words, Nie Zhenbang’s brows instantly furrowed. Xu Hongzhuan had followed him for so long; he knew well enough Nie Zhenbang’s personality. As the Secretary-General of the Provincial Committee, Xu Hongzhuan was quite competent, otherwise, Nie Zhenbang would not have handed over the nurous complaint letters to Xu Hongzhuan himself. While there were certainly unfounded rumors, trust was also a factor.
Nie Zhenbang was well aware that Xu Hongzhuan would not be speaking in such a manner at this ti if it were not a truly serious matter. Looking up at the three busy won, An Na included, a flash of guilt crossed Nie Zhenbang’s eyes. He owed far too much to these three won.
Seeing the joyful yet busy figures, Nie Zhenbang felt unbearable, stood up, and walked into his study before saying, “Comrade Hongzhuan, what exactly is going on?”
On the other side, Xu Hongzhuan, hearing Secretary Nie’s inquiry, finally said, “Secretary Nie, a serious incident has occurred in Luji City, I’ve just received the news. A forced demolition and self-immolation incident happened in Qingan County, Luji City. It is said that journalists from Huaxia Agency have already rushed to Qingan County.”

According to what Nie Zhenbang knew, the newly appointed Governor Wen Baogui was still down in the cities performing consolation visits. Moreover, other standing committee mbers of the Provincial Committee were also spending New Year’s away from Hongjiang. It was clearly unrealistic to try to gather all the standing committee mbers on New Year’s Eve.
After musing for a while, Nie Zhenbang then continued, “We will make do with whoever can make it. If so can’t co, then so be it.”
With the situation as it was, there was nothing Nie Zhenbang could do. For instance, Governor Wen Baogui could not quickly co up from the city even now.
Although it was New Year’s Eve, the occurrence of such an incident ant that the originally quiet Provincial Committee building suddenly beca busy. In the eting room of the Provincial Committee, the standing committee mbers who were ho all sat in their chairs, including Wei Lin. Wei Lin originally planned to fly back to Jingcheng today and was already on his way to the airport. However, a phone call forced him to turn around and return.
At this mont, inside the eting room, the standing committee mbers were gathered in small groups, discussing in hushed tones. When Secretary Nie Zhenbang, with a stern face, walked into the open door of the eting room, he put his teacup on the table and said, “Comrades, I truly apologize for summoning everyone on New Year’s Eve and disrupting your rest ti. Firstly, I would like to express my apologies.”
Continuing, Nie Zhenbang looked at Xu Hongzhuan next to him and said, “Secretary Xu, you were the first to be notified about the incident. Please tell us what exactly happened with the forced demolition and self-immolation in Qingan County, Luji City.”
Hearing the words “forced demolition and self-immolation,” all the standing committee mbers were sowhat shocked and sat up straight in unison. Forced demolition had occurred in many places, but forced demolition followed by self-immolation was definitely a serious matter. The incident in Hongjiang Province was a severe test for Hongjiang.
Xu Hongzhuan nodded, organized his thoughts and words, then began, “Secretary Nie, comrades, here’s what happened.”
The forced demolition incident in Qingan County originated this year, which in general Chinese custom, refers to the current year before the Lunar New Year has passed.
Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang’s brows furrowed tightly, and with a slap, he smacked the table. Nie Zhenbang said angrily, “What is Qingan County doing?”
Although his words were simple, the anger expressed in Nie Zhenbang’s language was crystal clear. To have instigated such an event on New Year’s Eve, it was obvious that the intention was to seize the opportunity when the villagers were at their most relaxed and resolve the issue in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, those involved hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events.
Xu Hongzhuan’s face also displayed a touch of embarrassnt. Although Xu Hongzhuan knew that Secretary Nie’s wrath was not directed at him, he still felt sowhat awkward.
Pausing for a mont, Xu Hongzhuan continued to elaborate, “During the forced demolition, the hoowner Zhang Dan arrived in ti. In the process of attempting to stop it, Zhang Dan poured gasoline on himself as a ans to prevent the demolition, and that’s how the self-immolation happened.”
In response to the news from Luji City, Comrade Bu Rongchang felt the gravity of the situation and dared not conceal anything, promptly reporting the situation upward.
As Xu Hongzhuan finished portraying the entire series of events, suddenly a heavy silence fell over the committee eting room, and everyone present could feel the weighty pressure. This was an absolute scandal; if reported, it would deal a heavy blow to Hongjiang’s investnt image—a situation Nie Zhenbang and the entire Hongjiang Provincial Committee definitely did not want to see. Furthermore, it also highlighted the crass enforcent and poor managent of Hongjiang’s administrative departnts. Although it might not directly implicate the Hongjiang Provincial Committee, it would certainly leave a negative impression.
After reflecting for a mont, Nie Zhenbang looked around at everyone and said solemnly, “The incident has already occurred. Let’s all express our opinions on the matter, how should we deal with it? How can we minimize the impact? Let’s hear your thoughts.”
As soon as Nie Zhenbang’s words concluded, the Organizational Departnt Head of the Provincial Committee, Li Wei, raised his hand and said, “Secretary Nie, I would like to say a few words.”
Then, Li Wei looked around at the attendees and said, “Comrades, considering the heinous forced demolition and self-immolation incident, first of all, the leadership team of Chengguan Town in Qingan County, as the directly responsible party, bears an inescapable responsibility. Moreover, organizing manpower for violent demolition during New Year’s Eve sparked the self-immolation incident. On this issue, the party and governnt team of Qingan County bear an inescapable responsibility. I suggest that we imdiately deal with the leadership teams of both Chengguan Town and Qingan County. The responsible leaders of Chengguan Town should be given double expulsion punishnt. Additionally, I propose the removal of the County Committee Secretary and the County Magistrate of Qingan County from their positions and administer a derit on their records. Luji City should be instructed to handle the aftermath of this incident properly.”
After Li Wei finished speaking, the eting room fell abruptly silent. anwhile, Qin Guanghan, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee, showed a hint of turbulence on his face.
Li Wei’s suggestion was indeed a decisive move, and since Li Wei was one of Secretary Nie’s staunch confidants, his strict and resolute words made everyone consider whether they reflected Secretary Nie’s own intentions.
Taking a mont, Wei Lin, the Minister of the Provincial Committee’s Propaganda Departnt, also spoke up, “I agree with Minister Li’s opinion. One can imagine that since Zhang Clan Village has connections with the Huaxia Agency, it’s certain that the incident must have attracted the attention of nurous national dia outlets. The situation cannot be concealed. As the saying goes, ‘it’s better to dredge rather than to block.’ Under these circumstances, how we demonstrate Hongjiang’s stance becos even more important.”
Wei Lin proved himself to be an expert in news work; when he spoke, he went straight to the essence of publicity. No matter if the incident went unnoticed, it would inevitably cause a huge stir. With the evolution of the tis, the role of dia supervision has only grown greater. To completely block this news was simply impossible.
Hearing Wei Lin’s words, Nie Zhenbang also nodded in agreent; the logic was sound. Reflecting for another mont, Nie Zhenbang continued, “Here is what I think; Minister Wei and Comrade Wei Ran, you two should personally follow up on this incident. Additionally, from the discipline inspection perspective, Secretary Gong, your departnt should also send a working group to investigate the specific issues with investnt promotion and demolition in Qingan County.”
Before he could finish speaking, an urgent knocking suddenly ca from the door.
