Chapter 451: V336: In the end, Minister Song just drew out his last words and didn’t finish speaking...
"This is the proposal list for the provincial-level election next spring. These materials wouldn’t normally be my responsibility, but this year I had the chance to take a look, so you happen to have exceptional luck. This is a confidential document, currently just a general direction for the proposal. Specific arrangements for positions will certainly change as we get closer. You coming to me for help right now isn’t a matter of simply saying words; it’s not workable. However, there are two issues you need to understand very clearly."Faced with Feng Chengjin’s slightly trembling Mo Tong.
Minister Song: "First, regardless of the circumstances, Gu Qingfeng has already been isolated for investigation. Even if the matter wasn’t thoroughly pursued in the end, it was treated lightly or dismissed. However, he ultimately carries a disciplinary action, and this internal party discipline isn’t that simple. It’s very difficult to reinstate him in his position in a short time..."
Feng Chengjin pressed his lips together and nodded slightly.
Minister Song: "Second, according to our personnel transfer system, even if we want to reinstate Gu Qingfeng, it’s impossible for him to remain in Rong City. In other words, the best scenario for Gu Qingfeng is to relocate his entire family, and the transfer term must be at least two terms. Given Gu Qingfeng’s age, when his term concludes, it will be time for retirement. So, this matter won’t proceed in the direction you most hope for..."
Given this mindset, Gu Qingfeng would absolutely leave, taking Gu Zixuan with him, and wouldn’t return.
Feng Chengjin understood well, his gaze grew even darker.
"Also..." Minister Song paused for a moment, stating the most crucial point, "this has to be under the condition that Gu Qingfeng doesn’t have any other incidents throughout the process... Cheng Jin, the country is now particularly strict on party integrity and anti-corruption efforts. You and I both know about Gu Qingfeng’s situation. He doesn’t embezzle or accept bribes, nor does he buy or sell official positions, and even more so doesn’t violate rules. In the party and government system, he is a truly diligent and good comrade. However, in his work, there’s inevitably some situation where special circumstances require special handling. These situations can be significant or minor. In essence, it depends on whether the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is willing to turn a blind eye. The last time it wasn’t investigated was because the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection felt the reported accusations lacked substantial evidence. If there’s no interest involved, they let it pass. But if any issue arises during this period, someone who has already been watched by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection won’t find it so easy..."
Minister Song elongated the final words, leaving them unsaid...
But Feng Chengjin, who profoundly understood the significance of Minister Song’s words, had his eyes turn utterly gloomy at this instant.
Gu Zixuan’s father, Gu Qingfeng, is actually a good official. Throughout his tenure, aside from providing some additional assistance to He Qimo, he hasn’t committed any unlawful acts.
Nonetheless, as Minister Song mentioned, in practical work, there inevitably arises some situation where special circumstances require special handling.
That time, Feng Chengjin actually seized upon the charge of fund misappropriation by Gu Qingfeng, leveraging Minister Song to orchestrate that sequence.
In reality, Gu Qingfeng’s so-called misappropriation merely coincided with a situation where Rong City had trouble securing funds for rebuilding a hurricane-damaged elementary school campus, and with autumn approaching, students needed classrooms. Thus, Gu Qingfeng decisively redirected temporarily shelved funds from other projects to support the school’s reconstruction.
Such actions, referred to as special circumstance handling in civilian terms, equate to misappropriation when deemed by the government system for manipulating state-specialized funds...
