Chapter 533: Chapter 533

Director Qin arrived at the city government building and walked into the office.

Mayor Jiang was talking with Secretary Wang, and once Qin sat down, he shared the decisions made at today’s meeting.

Director Qin was completely bewildered throughout the conversation.

Mayor Jiang asked, "Do you still have any contacts in Dujiang City now?"

"No, none," he responded.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"What about He Sen’s side?"

"I’m not clear about that. There shouldn’t be much contact anymore. After He Sen retired, Hou Wen has been intentionally distancing himself from He."

Mayor Jiang nodded. He didn’t care if He Sen still had any contacts in Dujiang City.

If it weren’t for the fact that Director Qin was still in his position, he wouldn’t even bother with him.

As for whether Director Qin would tell He Sen, he didn’t care about that either.

They couldn’t keep it a secret from them.

"When does the city plan to take action, Mayor Jiang?"

"The timing isn’t set yet."

Mayor Jiang said, "This matter is quite substantial, and I can’t decide on my own. We have to wait for the notice from the provincial government."

Director Qin asked, "Will it be expanded?"

He wasn’t worried about people like Chen Guanyun spreading rumors; his fear was from higher up.

Although he had long since lost contact with Dujiang City, he was afraid that the higher-ups might dig deeper.

If they really dug deep, he would definitely be implicated.

Mayor Jiang said, "Use your brain, can this matter be dug into deeply?"

Dozens of officials were already on the list, causing such a stir; how could it possibly be dug into further?

"Alright, you’re aware of the situation, just remember not to disclose it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you; if anyone from Dujiang City flees before the action takes place, you, Qin Yuejin, will bear full responsibility."

"Yes, I definitely won’t leak anything!"

...

The next day.

A group of standing committee members gathered again in Secretary Lu’s office.

Secretary Lu said, "The opinions from the provincial government have arrived, and they are very supportive of our decision."

"Comrade Jiang Yuan will serve as the commander-in-chief of this anti-corruption campaign."

"Next, please Mayor Jiang to make specific assignments."

Taking over, Mayor Jiang said, "This operation will not trouble the comrades from the Ministry of Public Security; our city bureau will handle it ourselves."

"Firstly, from the Disciplinary Committee side, Secretary Wang, be prepared. After the arrests, the Disciplinary Committee will work with the police to investigate these corrupt officials’ misconduct."

"Minister Zhou, Secretary Zhang, you will handle the communication."

"Additionally, I need to set up a temporary command team, so leaders, please allocate a few people each."

Mayor Jiang distributed tasks methodically.

After the meeting, Song Guanchao followed Wu Qiangwei back to the office.

"Mayor Jiang has established a command team; you should join."

"Okay."

"Don’t be too showy when you go in. Mayor Jiang is the overall commander this time; follow his orders in everything."

"Understood." Song Guanchao asked, "Hasn’t the provincial government sent someone over?"

Wu Qiangwei glanced at him, "Are you referring to Qu Xiangru?"

"Yes."

"Mayor Jiang didn’t mention it."

Song Guanchao smacked his lips.

That didn’t seem right.

Based on Qu Xiangru’s previous performance, she should not miss out on this kind of merit.

Why was there no movement?

Wu Qiangwei said, "You should report to the city bureau."

"Oh, alright."

On the way downstairs, he happened to run into Wu Yun; needless to say, she must have also been allocated.

Wu Yun came over and walked shoulder to shoulder with him, saying, "Secretary Wang sent me to the city bureau. He said that a command team was established; do you know what’s going on?"

Song Guanchao briefly explained the situation to her. After hearing it, Wu Yun was extremely surprised.

The city wanted to fight corruption!

And with such a large scale, it was truly frightening!

The two of them took a single car and headed straight for the city bureau.

Upon arriving at the bureau, other members of the standing committee who had been seconded also arrived one after another.

Secretary Sun and Li Jun also arrived together.

The supervision team’s task in Dujiang City wasn’t over yet, but there wasn’t much left to supervise.

Besides, compared to the supervision team, this anti-corruption effort was the top priority.

Such a great achievement—if one could just get involved, it would be a huge credit.

All the leaders were eager to push people into it.

Even Chu Xiao’e had her secretary and cousin join in.

Everyone met at the door and exchanged simple greetings.

After entering the conference room, Song Guanchao saw a few familiar faces.

Song Guanchao was about to go over and greet Mayor Jiang when the latter’s phone rang, and he moved aside to take the call.

Before long, Mayor Jiang came over with a slightly grave expression on his face; it was unclear what the call was about.

He sat down in his spot, started the meeting, and detailed the situation once again.

Some people only knew they had been seconded over, but had no idea what this command group actually did.

After hearing Mayor Jiang’s words, they were astounded.

What a massive operation!

What severe corruption.

Mayor Jiang then began to assign duties, and once the assignments were complete, Song Guanchao suddenly realized that his own name hadn’t been called out.

What’s going on?

Am I just here to twiddle my thumbs?

But why does even Secretary Sun have something to do?

"Alright, meeting’s adjourned, go busy yourselves."

Song Guanchao stood up, intending to leave, when suddenly Mayor Jiang called his name, "Secretary Song, please stay behind."

After everyone else had left, Mayor Jiang tossed him a cigarette and showed a gentle smile, "Secretary Song, our city bureau’s police force is insufficient for this arrest operation. We’ll have to rely on you for this."

"Rely on me?" Song Guanchao was puzzled.

If the police force is insufficient, just call for reinforcements; what can I, a secretary, do to solve this problem?

Mayor Jiang asked, "I hear you’re on good terms with Director Xiao of Jianyuan City?"

Song Guanchao had a realization; they wanted to use his connections.

He nodded, "Director Xiao and I served in the same military unit."

Mayor Jiang also realized, "Then will you take on this task?"

"Sure, I’ll ensure to complete the task assigned by Mayor Jiang."

"Heh, Secretary Song, don’t feel pressured, and if there are any issues with coordination, come directly to me."

Song Guanchao nodded, about to get up, but Mayor Jiang pressed him down again, "There’s one more thing."

Song Guanchao was confused. Are they treating me like a mule for training?

Mayor Jiang said, "This time, the provincial government is placing great importance on the anti-corruption arrests. Moreover, it wants the operation capturing Lu Xiaotian to be publicized as a model case."

"Therefore, I plan to have journalists accompany us during the entire operation, including covering our current activities."

Song Guanchao was even more confused. To invite a journalist, there’s no need to come to me, right?

Anybody could handle this.

"Should I go contact the TV station then?"

"I’ve already reached out to the TV station, and Miss Zhou is on her way here."

Mayor Jiang said, "I noticed that Journalist Lin from the Ministry of Propaganda seemed to have a good impression of you at the last commendation ceremony."

"..." Song Guanchao’s eye twitched; he understood.

They wanted him to invite the journalist from the Ministry of Propaganda.

"Mayor Jiang, I’m just a little secretary; I can’t just summon someone from the Ministry of Propaganda. And surely they can’t appear in a personal capacity, right?"

"I understand all that. I just hope you can mention it to Journalist Lin and let her inquire with her department. You know how intense this anti-corruption campaign is; I think the Ministry of Propaganda would be interested."

Before coming, Wu Qiangwei had specifically instructed to cooperate well with Mayor Jiang.

Moreover, given Mayor Jiang’s favorable approach and tone, he found it difficult to refuse.

Besides, it’s just making a phone call and inquiring; it wouldn’t hurt to have a thicker skin.

By helping him, he would also owe a favor, which might be useful in the future.

"Okay, I’ll contact them."
