After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Chapter 270 The Supervisory Team Sets Off

A grand farewell ceremony was taking place downstairs of Building No. 7 in the provincial party committee compound.

Not only Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Fu Hongyuan, Executive Vice Secretary Yan Chengguang and all other members of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection attended the farewell ceremony in person, but even the Provincial Party Committee sent Secretary-General Zhou Aiyong to attend as a representative to express their importance to the matter.

All the cadres of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, big and small, except those who were on business trips or had urgent matters, put down their work and came to see them off in a mighty procession.

"Comrade Lu An, you must always bear in mind your mission and never forget your original intention. Don't let down the trust of the organization, and don't let down the earnest expectations of your fellow countrymen."

"I know the trip to Lingnan is a tough battle, but our Jianghuai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is a team that is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles!"

"We must fight big battles, tough battles, tough battles that we are not sure of winning but must win!"

"I have faith in you!"

Fu Hongyuan shouted encouragement, and there was warm applause from the audience.

Lu An shouted "Stand at attention!" and then all the members of the supervision team stood straight, accepting the inspection of the leader like javelins.

Fu Hongyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good and energetic. I really hope that when you return victoriously from Lingnan in the future, I will be here to commend you!"

Lu An thanked Secretary Hongyuan for his support and encouragement to the supervision team.

Lu An promised that he would work hard, forge ahead, and never let down the trust of his leaders and the organization.

Lu An finally waved his hand, and the supervision teams filed onto the bus that had been prepared long ago and set off for Lingnan.

As we watched the bus slowly drive out of the gate of the provincial party committee, there were mixed expressions on the faces of those in the farewell team.

First of all, it was Yan Chengguang and Yan Ji'an. They were both very glad that they had finally gotten rid of Lu An, the plague god.

From the information Yan Chengguang received, he knew that the complexity and scale of this case was far beyond his imagination. It would take at least two to three years to solve. By the time Lu An finished his work and returned, the situation in the Jianghuai Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would have changed.

As for the others, they were envious, jealous and resentful of Lu An.

Although the supervision team has now been formed and set out, there are still many people who cannot understand why Lu An was appointed as the supervisory commissioner.

Many others were upset about why they were not selected for the supervisory group, as they were clearly more capable.

Some of them regretted not giving gifts to Lu An in the first place; some secretly resented Lu An for accepting gifts before arranging him to join the team, which created such a chaotic atmosphere. Such a supervisory team that came up with such crooked methods would only bring disgrace to the outside world.

They knew that Lu An later confiscated all the gifts and gave them all back as company benefits during holidays.

But they just want to hate it. After all, they can't say that they were not selected because they were not good enough or had too many crooked ideas, right?

Some people even privately speculated maliciously that Lu An, the supervisory commissioner, was chosen just to be cannon fodder in Lingnan. What a crappy supervisory group! They are cannon fodder among cannon fodders.

Some people even said that things in Lingnan were very difficult to deal with.

"The people in Lingnan are tough. If you really push them into a corner, they won't care about your supervision team."

"I heard that a few years ago a central supervision team went there and never came back."

"I have a relative in Lingnan. He told me that this smuggling case is quite complicated and the central government is having a headache. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left it to Lu An to pick up the slack."

"Not only is the case complicated, but the supervision team is not entirely drawn from Jianghuai. We are just an insignificant part of the supervision team. When we arrive in Lingnan, we may not know who will lead whom!"

"Do you really think that going to Lingnan to supervise the team is a good job?"

"You think you can soar to the sky just by being a supervisor? I don't know who will lead whom in Lingnan!"

Faced with the rumors flying around the entire Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhao Yuedong, who had originally been confident, became unsure. He came to Ye Xianggao to ask if anything would really happen.

At this point, Ye Xianggao told him that they had given him all the help they could, and whether it would be a blessing or a disaster next depended on Lu An's own ability.

……

At the same time, in an office of the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee, the phone suddenly rang.

The man picked up the phone and heard a deep voice from the other end: "The supervision team from Jianghuai has set off."

The man simply said "yes", and then continued, "Let me tell you, there are big problems with the Jianghuai supervision team! Especially their supervisor, who is very weird."

“I heard that the smuggling case was uncovered by that supervisory commissioner.”

"He is so young and yet he can become the supervisory commissioner. We can't be careless. We must think of a way!"

The man originally scoffed at these words.

What era is this? Why are we still talking about this kind of feudal superstition?

"It was a coincidence. A suspect ran away from them and happened to escape to our side."

"People smuggling and illegal immigration are highly overlapping black industries, so it's normal that the province caught them red-handed."

"It's just a supervision team. There's nothing to worry about."

"During this period, we have had several inspection teams from the central government to the local governments. Do we need this one?"

However, the person on the other end of the phone insisted that something must be done and there must not be any slackness.

"We have been covering up this matter very well, and it was only uncovered because of your negligence!"

The man explained that the matter was an order issued directly by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection without going through him. He happened to be on a business trip at the time, and it was too late when he rushed back as soon as he received the news.

"I don't want to hear your explanation. I just want to tell you that we are now tied to the same rope. If I go in, you will not be able to escape!" The other end threatened fiercely.

The man was silent for a moment, then spoke: "I know what to do. Don't the comrades from the capital always want to compete for dominance? I believe they will be happy to teach our colleagues from Jianghuai how to behave and do things."

The person on the other end of the phone was relieved: "Okay, you are the secretary and you have the final say."

The man looked up. He was Yang Shifeng, deputy secretary of the Lingnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

As the call was hung up, he smashed the phone to the ground...
