A few days ago, the central government issued an announcement saying that Tao Niansheng, chief of staff of the Lingnan Military Region, was suspected of illegal crimes. The central government decided to expel him from the party, and the Central Military Commission decided to expel him from the military and cancel his general rank.

The person in charge of the military agency said that the basic investigation showed that Tao Niansheng took advantage of his position to help others get promoted, and accepted bribes directly and through his family members, the amount of which was extremely huge; he used the influence of his position to benefit others, and he and his family accepted bribes from others in the amount of

Extremely huge.

Tao Niansheng's case fully reflects the clear attitude of the Central Committee and the Military Commission to strictly govern the party and the military. It shows our party's firm determination to oppose and punish with zero tolerance. It also has the firm support of all officers and soldiers. For other personnel involved in the case

, based on the factual evidence ascertained, we will deal with it in accordance with the law, investigate to the end resolutely, and never tolerate it.

This is a press release issued by the central government nationwide on June 3. Zhou Ming couldn't help laughing when he heard the news in the car. Bribery is just a way of saying it to the outside world, but there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, it can't be done.

Saying that Tao Niansheng is a worm in the army, using the privileges of the army to engage in smuggling. If you really say that, God knows what kind of impact it will have on the country, so instead of doing that, it is better to just slap a charge on him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming helplessly shook his head and smiled bitterly. Cao Jianning next to him saw Zhou Ming like this and couldn't help but curiously asked him what was wrong. Zhou Ming replied: When I had never been in contact with him before, I really never thought about why the central government dealt with an official.

There's nothing you can do about it. After all, you can access certain things in any position. There are many things in this world that cannot be made public and transparent, Cao Jianning said.

Zhou Ming is also very clear about this. There are many things that he will never truly understand without being exposed to them. Looking back on the many high-ranking officials he heard about in his previous life, God knows how many are true and how many are just like that.

statement.

Zhou Ming suddenly said at this time: They say that only when you are in the position do you know what is going on. So, Mr. Cao, as the son of Commander Cao, are there anything you don’t know about?

That’s too much. I’m not a know-it-all, Cao Jianning said. Even though I was with my dad ten years ago, I still didn’t understand what happened in the central government. I only knew that the next day the troops took control of the entire

The capital, through radio stations, announced the news of overthrowing the counter-revolution to the whole country. And now, even though I have done so many things, my dad very much agrees with my ideas, but I still don’t know the limits of his relationship network.

.

Zhou Ming glanced at him and saw that Cao Jianning also had a look of sadness on his face, so Zhou Ming said nothing.

In fact, Zhou Ming and Cao Jianning were going to a special dinner today. Due to Tao Niansheng's incident, the prestige of the eldest brother of the Cao family was greatly reduced. This undoubtedly gave guidance to those who had been waiting and watching. In this way, Cao Jianning

We just had such a dinner today, and because of Zhou Ming's importance in this matter, Cao Jianning felt it was necessary to bring Zhou Ming with him.

This dinner was held in a private club in Baiyun City. In this era, private clubs were still a new thing. They did not have as much content as later private or corporate clubs in the Development Department. They were more like a club built by a group of people together.

Private gathering place.

When they walked into the club, the decoration inside was antique. The waiter knew Cao Jianning, so as soon as Cao Jianning and Zhou Mingcai entered, they were immediately led into a box on the third floor.

This box is said to be a box, but in fact it is similar to a small banquet hall. Not only is the area large, but more importantly, the layout of the entire box looks more noble and elegant.

Going around the screen at the door, Zhou Ming saw the people in the box. Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment because sitting inside were the secretary of the Baiyun Municipal Party Committee and several senior officials from the Lingnan Military Region, as well as several leaders of large state-owned enterprises in the province.

Leaders at the department level and above are now gathered here, sitting at the same table to eat. This scene undoubtedly reflects the strong strength of the Cao family from one aspect.

Of course, this may be just the tip of the iceberg. After all, for officials at the provincial and ministerial levels, they may not eat with a group of people.

Incisively and vividly.

But what really surprised Zhou Ming was not this, because this is the Cao family after all. Cao Yinghua is the founding marshal and the national leader who eliminates counterrevolutionaries. It is normal that many people in the local area are willing to follow him, even the provincial party committee secretary

There was nothing surprising, but Zhou Ming was surprised because he didn't expect that even Chen Yunfei, secretary of the Nanjiang Municipal Party Committee, was here.

This is something Zhou Ming never expected, because Zhou Ming clearly remembers that Chen Yunfei shouldn't be Grandpa Du Peng, the student of President Du Zhongyuan? Why is he sitting here now?

The surprise in Zhou Ming's mind flashed away, and he did not ask any questions. After all, he had never entered the officialdom in his life, and had only been in contact with a big family for a few months. There were many complicated things that he could not possibly do like this.

It’s easy to understand, but I think that Chen Yunfei’s coming to Nanjiang and being able to concurrently serve as Nanjiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary as the Executive Vice Governor is inseparable from the help of the Cao family.

So to put it this way, the conflict between the military and the police at Nanjiang Nightclub may have been due to this reason.

Chen Yunfei looked a little surprised when he saw Zhou Ming coming over, but it only lasted for a while, because based on Chen Yunfei's understanding of Zhou Ming, he knew that Zhou Ming was not a gossip, and besides, even if he said it, it would not be possible.

There is no big problem. Political things are not what you want to do. Sometimes telling the truth is not a good thing. He believes that Zhou Ming can understand this.

Zhou Ming sat down with Cao Jianning. After Cao Jianning, he also greeted everyone and introduced himself: Hello, leaders, I am Zhou Ming.

The Baiyun Municipal Party Committee Secretary first said: So you are Zhou Ming. Thank you very much for helping to bring down a smuggling gang. As the Baiyun Municipal Party Committee Secretary, I couldn't do it. I have let this gang go for so many years. I feel really ashamed when I think about it.

Secretary, you don’t have to blame yourself. After all, the actions there are secretive and they have the protection of the military. It’s not that easy to take down the umbrella. Zhou Ming said.

Yes, I didn't expect that there would be a big bug like Tao Niansheng in the army. He was so crazy that he thought of using some of the privileges in the army to engage in smuggling. This is really infuriating. One officer said angrily.

Well, this matter has been resolved, and the central government has made a decision to remove him from the post of lieutenant general and hand it over to the military prosecutors for continued investigation. It is estimated that prosecution and sentencing will be filed soon. Another

the officer said.

At this time, Chen Yunfei said: But I think the most important thing in this matter is Comrade Zhou Ming. An ordinary person dared to start a war with a lieutenant general and force the other party from his position. This is very strange.

Fantastic

Chen Yunfei's words quickly received unanimous approval from others, and everyone gave Zhou Ming a thumbs up: This little comrade Zhou Ming is really good, he dares to do things, and he has the fierceness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Zhou Ming himself was a little embarrassed. He said: If it were yesterday, someone would have praised me like this. But now that I have met the leaders here, it will make me very embarrassed if you praise me like this again. I think so.

Without the help of all the leaders behind the scenes, I am afraid that I will be of no use at all and will be killed by General Tao.

Everyone said that Zhou Ming was too modest, saying that if nothing else, his decision was not something that ordinary people would have the courage to make.

After some compliments, the matter finally got down to business. Chen Yunfei, who had the highest status at the scene, said: Although the previous series of things were coincidental, they also showed that those practices were completely undesirable. We in Lingnan are going to

We should retain some policy powers, but those things that cannot be retained should be returned to the central government, so that the central government can coordinate the arrangements. If we blindly force them to stay, we will only be the unlucky ones in the end.

After Chen Yunfei finished speaking, everyone else nodded silently in agreement.

Zhou Ming was originally not prepared to speak. After all, this was a gathering at their Cao family, and his words were of no consequence. However, Cao Jianning asked Zhou Ming to express his opinion.

Zhou Ming couldn't help it, so he had to think for a while and say: I am just a young man. In fact, many things in the past were very impulsive, and my views are not as mature as those of the leaders here. I can only think about it now or in the future. We'd better not

If there is any distinction between central and local governments, whoever belongs to you belongs to whomever belongs. It is best not to take things that are not yours by force, otherwise you will suffer.

Chen Yunfei first applauded Zhou Ming: Comrade Zhou Ming said it very well. People must have their own duties. If they cross the threshold, they will be unlucky.

So where does Comrade Zhou Ming think our Lingnan will develop in the future? Asked the Secretary of the Baiyun Municipal Party Committee.

The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust. Zhou Ming said, my idea is that instead of working hard to perform, it is better to enrich and improve myself, work hard to reform and open up to develop the economy, and use regional advantages and national policies to

, and cheap labor to attract foreign investment, continue to build and improve the capital market, and truly build Lingnan into a national political and economic demonstration base, so that everything that should be there is available.

A very simple sentence, but it shocked everyone present. Indeed, as Zhou Ming said, as long as we work hard to develop Lingnan, the central government will naturally pay attention to it, and then the various statuses of the local government and businessmen will follow.

Well, it can be said that it is a matter of course.

This truth is very simple and can be explained by a three-year-old child, but the key point is that many people are blinded by power and only want to have power completely in their own hands, so they ignore such a simple truth.
