Chapter 950: Chapter 906: Ergency Summoning Chapter 950: Chapter 906: Ergency Summoning “On what grounds are you placing under shuanggui? What cri have I committed? By what right do you, Liu Wei, represent the organization? Whose organization is this? I refuse to accept this, I’m going to sue you all. You are using your power for personal gain and to eliminate dissent. You, you’re all Nie Zhenbang’s cronies, all tarred with the sa brush,” Zhang Shengshan roared. At this mont, he was painfully aware that since Liu Wei dared to make this decision, it must an that his unfilial son had definitely confessed to sothing, or the task force had found critical evidence.
If he didn’t fight for himself now and failed to break free, it would be much harder to do so later. He was very clear about how things worked within the system. Adding icing to the cake is easy, but sending charcoal in the snow is hard. Once the news of the shuanggui spread, what would likely follow would be a situation where everyone would push a wall that’s already toppling over. While his factory № 38 was currently well-managed, like an iron barrel, it would suddenly turn into a wooden one. Then, it would be like monkeys scattering as the tree falls.
Moreover, given Liu Wei’s current rank compared to his old leader’s, the latter definitely wouldn’t step in after the shuanggui, partly out of consideration for Liu Wei’s stance, and partly because he, now under investigation himself, would certainly raise doubts in the mind of his old leader. Knowing his old leader’s character, if there were truly an issue, he would personally co by to kick him when he’s down.
Liu Wei sneered coldly and said in a deep voice, “Comrade Zhang Shengshan, there’s no need to be so agitated. In my entire life, I, Liu Wei, have been fighting on the front line of discipline inspection. The WangHai major case, what about you? I’ve t plenty of people who were more powerful and more defiant than you. Now, since I dare to place you under shuanggui, I certainly have my principles. Next, you should think carefully about how to confess all your issues.”
With that, Liu Wei turned to Zhou Bingliang beside him and instructed, “Comrade Bingliang, arrange for a thorough and comprehensive inventory of this room. Clean out any item, tool, anything at all that could lead to suicide, self-harm, or bodily injury. Plus, arrange for three personnel to monitor Zhang Shengshan around the clock. He is not to use any communication tools, et anyone, or send out any ssages.”
The interrogation of Ding Weiguang on the other hand beca much more relaxed. The inquiry involved Zhou Bingliang of the Ganzhou Province Disciplinary Committee personally participating and leading the session. Ding Weiguang cooperated fully, and reported in detail to the special case team all the events prior to the bidding process.
Before the bid opening, while reviewing the specifications for Lot № 7, Ding Weiguang was conveniently taken out by Zhang Shengshan. He wasn’t gone for long, and by the ti Ding Weiguang returned, the bid docunt from Victorious Construction Co. had already been placed aside. As there were a total of ten lots and Ding Weiguang liked hands-on work resulting in a heavy workload, he mistakenly thought he had already reviewed Victorious Construction Co.’s bid. In the end, it led to a big ss.
Regarding Ding Weiguang’s case, the special case team did not dwell on it too much; in fact, Ding Weiguang was also a victim. Having been hard by Zhang Shengshan, it was as if a permanent stain had been left. As the person in charge, Ding Weiguang could not escape leadership responsibility, thus his promotion to general manager was completely scuttled.
By this point in the case, one could say that the truth was out in the open. Following this, the special case team brought in Zhang Tian’en. Subsequently, the Ganzhou Provincial Disciplinary Committee, in conjunction with the Ganzhou Provincial Public Security Bureau, comnced the arrest of the boss of Victorious Construction Co. At the sa ti, the special case team brought in so staff mbers from the Ganzhou Provincial Public Security Bureau to seal the financial records and company docunts of Victorious Construction Co. from over the years.
Once things sped up, Zhang Tian’en quickly confessed to all his issues. In the Victorious Construction Co. case, Zhang Tian’en used connections to provide insider information for multiple bids. Moreover, he committed cris like malicious injury, illegal detention, rape, and bribing state functionaries, among others. Zhang Shengshan, on the other hand, was guilty of taking bribes, malfeasance, neglect of duty, and work style issues. Both father and son were officially transferred to the judicial authorities.
After seeking Nie Zhenbang’s opinion, all the suspects, including the head of Victorious Construction Co., were handed over to the Ganzhou City Interdiate People’s Court for trial, with Ganzhou City Peoples’ Procuratorate initiating the prosecution.
The special case team officially closed the case, and Nie Zhenbang, leading two deputy heads of the group, went to the airport to see Liu Wei off.
anwhile, after a re-evaluation of Lot № 7 under entirely open and fair conditions, Huaxia Group convened Northwest Construction Group and Zhu’s Construction for a special presentation at Huaxia Group’s multidia center. Both companies submitted their proposals first, including design, cost estimates, and final bids. Afterwards, representatives of the two companies took the stage, under the supervision of the senior executives of Huaxia Group and in full view of everyone, to explain the advantages of their design plans. Ultimately, Zhu’s Construction won the final victory for its bid price and the quality and cost calculations of the project, despite its design not being very innovative.
Northwest Construction Group accepted their defeat graciously, acknowledging that for Huaxia Group’s factories, the main considerations were functionality and durability. Superficially impressive but impractical things were of less concern to Huaxia Group.
…
At the Ganzhou City Interdiate People’s Court, actions were swift — special cases required special handling. Once the case was transferred, they proceeded with the fastest judicial process. Considering the reputation of Huaxia Group, the case was tried and adjudicated behind closed doors, away from the public eye.
With no dia reporters present, Zhang Shengshan was sentenced to life imprisonnt for multiple charges including corruption and bribery, dereliction of duty, and favoritism, along with massive amounts of unaccounted wealth. The charges were extraordinarily grave with severe implications and extraordinarily bad influence, leading to a decision of several penalties in one. All his assets were confiscated.
Zhang Tian’en, convicted of rape and malicious injury causing disability among other nurous cris, was ultimately sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. He received a fine of one million yuan.
Victorious Construction Co., for committing the cri of bribery and organizing a criminal syndicate, saw its owner sentenced to death. The execution was carried out imdiately. Victorious Construction Co. was fined twenty million yuan and had its building qualifications revoked.
When a construction company has its building qualifications revoked, it sufficiently indicates a problem. Victorious Construction Co. was undoubtedly facing closure.
…
Huaxia Group’s office building.
In Nie Zhenbang’s office, Vice President Li sat on the sofa in the reception area, showing great respect. Ever since Ding Weiguang’s fall from grace, Vice President Li saw a great surge in his hope to succeed as the general manager of the group. Hence, he began to visit Nie Zhenbang much more often.
“Boss, after Zhang Shengshan’s sentencing, his wife still resides in the house by Factory 38. The house isn’t under Zhang Shengshan’s property rights. Currently, there is quite so questioning within the group about this. What do you think…?” Vice President Li smiled as he reported the situation regarding Zhang Shengshan.
Nie Zhenbang frowned. He particularly disliked kicking soone when they were down, but it was, unfortunately, a common occurrence within the system. As the saying goes, “only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.” Without experiencing such hardships, one cannot comprehend the underlying bitterness.
After a brief silence, Nie Zhenbang nodded and said, “I rember Zhang Shengshan’s wife was also a worker in the group, right? Now, although she no longer holds her position, she is not at fault. Furthermore, we do not endorse the practice of collective punishnt. Here’s how I see it. She can vacate the current house, and the group will arrange a new two-bedroom apartnt for her. She’s almost at retirent age, so let’s proceed with her early retirent procedures.”
Nie Zhenbang didn’t have a high opinion of this Vice President Li. Previously, Ding Weiguang was not bad in terms of character and capability. Unfortunately, he lacked the domineering presence required of a leader. In the end, he was thoroughly cut off from climbing up the ranks because of the Zhang Shengshan case.
As for the current Vice President Li, Nie Zhenbang wasn’t quite satisfied either. He was too slick; such a person, as the head of the group, wouldn’t bode well. It might not be beneficial for the group’s future developnt. It seed that the selection of the group’s senior leadership would ultimately need to be arranged from above.
With this thought, Nie Zhenbang stood up. After seeing off Vice President Li, he imdiately turned to Yun Fei outside and said, “Secretary Yun, check what my schedule looks like for the next few days.”
No sooner had Nie Zhenbang stepped into the inner office than Yun Fei followed in without holding a notebook or any materials. She said, “Director Nie, tomorrow, you’re attending the inauguration ceremony of the group’s Research Institute. In the afternoon, you’ll discuss cooperation matters with the Ganzhou Provincial Party Committee. The day after tomorrow morning, you’ll participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of Zhu’s Construction. That’s roughly the agenda for the next three days.”
This piqued Nie Zhenbang’s curiosity, and he asked with a smile, “Secretary Yun, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong? You rember all that off the top of your head?”
Yun Fei didn’t show amusent at Nie Zhenbang’s jest; her expression remained as neutral as ever. She nodded and said, “Director Nie, serving leaders and taking care of their logistical needs is an indispensable skill for a secretary, as well as a duty that must be perford well. If Director Nie doesn’t believe , you can check the schedule in the left drawer.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the phone on Nie Zhenbang’s desk suddenly rang. The red internal security line made his heart skip a beat, and he didn’t dare to neglect it. Picking up the phone, he said hello, and then Liang Yuan’s stern voice ca through, “Comrade Zhenbang, cancel all your scheduled activities imdiately. You must return tonight; the chief has summoned you.”
A summon by the chief? And such urgency? Nie Zhenbang stood up quickly, his deanor solemn, and he nodded, “Alright, I will make arrangents imdiately. I should be able to reach Jingcheng by around seven this evening.”
