“The specific situation may need to be investigated at the court, but the workers have raised concerns about how they hold shares, yet they are unaware of any contract signing. And the Dafeng Factory has been transferred to someone else in the blink of an eye, and they can't even get a relocation payment…"
“Hmm? So, without the workers' authorization, their shares were mortgaged?”
“That seems to be the case!”
Sun Hai Ping exclaimed in surprise, "How can that be? Isn't that a violation of procedure? And you say they haven't received relocation and compensation payments. Have you not done your job properly?”
Sun Lian Cheng quickly started pleading, saying, “Secretary Sun, this has nothing to do with our district government! Dafeng Factory’s relocation and compensation payments are all paid by the Sanshui Group. But the Sanshui Group said they have already transferred the money to Cai Chenggong’s account.”
“So, is it Cai Chenggong's problem?”
“Well…it’s not clear what the situation is right now. But I've already taken the Dafeng Factory worker representatives to see Director Zhao Dong Lai of the city bureau, asking them to help find Cai Chenggong.”
Sun Hai Ping nodded and said, “When you put it this way, there are indeed some flaws in this matter. Are there any other details?”
Sun Lian Cheng pretended to think for a moment before realizing, “I remember now, there was a boss from the Dalu Group, Wang Dalu. He was an old colleague of Secretary Li Da Kang from many years ago. Because of the Guangmingfeng Project, he came to the district government to see me and said he wanted a fair and just opportunity… Secretary Sun, you hear that? Isn't he saying that we're not being fair and just?”
“Can you tell me more about it?” Sun Hai Ping’s eyes were filled with hope.
Sun Lian Cheng smiled bitterly and said, “Secretary Sun, you think too highly of me! I said that I'm nominally the deputy commander of the Guangmingfeng Project, but in reality, I basically have no say, and I can't intervene. I don't really know how the specific engineering project is operated...”
Sun Hai Ping was a little disappointed.
He thought he could dig into Ding Yi Zhen, Li Da Kang's trusted aide, but it turned out there wasn't enough concrete evidence.
But on second thought, today wasn't without its gains. At least some illegal and irregular things have been revealed. There's work to be done next.
Sun Lian Cheng didn't say much after that. He just talked about some trivial matters and gave Sun Hai Ping a few documents that seemed to have obvious problems with regard to the Guangmingfeng Project. Then he quickly bid farewell and left.
Sun Hai Ping watched the closed door and started to think about what Sun Lian Cheng had said.
Other than that, Sun Lian Cheng was almost directly accusing the Intermediate People's Court of having problems!
The Political and Legal Committee he was in charge of was responsible for this very thing. There was some shame in having such a thing happen.
But about the court, he had already received reports, but they were suppressed in the Standing Committee by Li Da Kang’s one-man show.
He had already given up hope of starting an investigation in the short term. But now, with Sun Lian Cheng's report, Sun Hai Ping became interested again.
After thinking about it for a while, he called the court.
“Hello, President Wang, it’s Sun Hai Ping from the city committee…”
“Yes, there's something I want you to help me look into…”
“Okay, help me compile a report on the specific details of the Dafeng Factory equity case that Vice President Chen Qingquan was involved in a year ago.”
“Remember, I need comprehensive information. That's all.”
Sun Hai Ping continued to gather evidence to prove his point, but there was only so much he could do at the moment.
In the Standing Committee, Li Da Kang directly suppressed the struggle for power in various areas in the name of the overall situation.
Sun Hai Ping was nominally the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, but Zhao Dong Lai followed Li Da Kang, Prosecutor Xiao Gang Yu followed Provincial Party Secretary Gao Yu Liang, and the court remained ambiguous.
With Li Da Kang and Gao Yu Liang above him, those below him only followed orders and not commands. It was difficult to get them to do anything.
But that didn’t stop him from continuing to work and waiting for the right opportunity.
After leaving the Political and Legal Committee, Sun Lian Cheng did not go to Zhang Shu Li, the head of the Discipline Inspection Committee. This guy was not principled enough.
Sun Lian Cheng really didn't dare to expect anything from him, even if he went to report it personally, he would probably be suppressed.
So, without a second thought, he went straight back to the Guangming District.
He couldn’t predict how things would develop next. He could only take things one step at a time.
It had nothing to do with him anyway, whatever happens, happens!
He did all this, in addition to his job requirements, to see the show.
Over the years, Zhao Li Chun’s Zhao family faction, Gao Yu Liang’s Han Da faction, Li Da Kang’s secretary faction, and so on, have not been fighting very fiercely.
After all, with Zhao Li Chun as the big mountain above them, Li Da Kang and Gao Yu Liang wouldn't be fighting each other.
But Liu Han Ting, the number two leader, and Zhao Li Chun didn't have much conflict. They both did their own thing and compromised with each other.
Sun Lian Cheng had lost his former patron, so he was not only suppressed but also ignored by all sides.
If Sun Lian Cheng's previous achievements hadn't been so outstanding, and the Feiyang Group hadn't been so popular, they wouldn't have been able to completely remove him. He probably wouldn't be able to sit so comfortably.
So now it was his turn to watch the show. He watched them build the tower, he watched them feast, he watched the tower collapse...
Sun Lian Cheng drove leisurely along the road, admiring the scenery of the Guangming District. He was secretly proud.
This was the result of his years of hard work!
…
While Sun Lian Cheng was reporting, Zheng Xi Po was also feeling more and more uncomfortable.
He had been coerced by the workers and then squeezed by Sun Lian Cheng, dragging him to see Director Zhao Dong Lai.
Now it seemed that the workers were much calmer, and it looked like they were going to get paid.
But he felt something was wrong!
He thought about it over and over, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply went out and rode his bicycle to the nursing home in the suburbs.
Chen Yan Shi was tending to his flowers and birds in the courtyard. When he heard the phone ring, he answered it and learned that Zheng Xi Po was coming to see him.
“Well, you said you were coming, why bring things? Are you trying to win me over?”
“Old Chen, you're making fun of me. If I had that ability, I would have become a corrupt official long ago!”
“Then what do you mean today? You can't just be here to see me, can you?”
“Well, these are just a few green plants. I originally had them in the Dafeng Factory. If I didn't bring them here, I was afraid someone would destroy them for me!”
Chen Yan Shi was a little dismissive, thinking he was joking.
After they were done, they went back to sit and chat over tea.
Chen Yan Shi, after all, was a former deputy procurator. He could tell that he was worried.
