Wandering the Heavens

Chapter 297: In the Name of People

I have to say that Li Dakang was treated well. A group of people were dealt with, and the others were grouped together, but he was singled out for criticism.

After reading the content about Li Dakang in the document, Qin Siyuan took out another propaganda document and read it out word by word. It contained the Supreme Conference's affirmation and criticism of Handong's social and economic development over the past 20 years.

During the 20 years when Zhao Lichun was in power, Handong's economic development speed attracted national attention. However, its corruption was also shocking, which seriously damaged the relationship between officials and the masses and was an indelible stain on Handong's social and economic development.

Finally, I hope Handong can face up to its own shortcomings, bear in mind the gains and losses of the past twenty years, and work closely with the upcoming inspection team to create a brand new Handong, rebuild the confidence of the people, and take Handong's economy to a higher level.

After Qin Siyuan finished reading the document marked top secret, he handed it to Sha Ruijin for safekeeping.

Sha Ruijin held the brown paper file bag in his hand and felt its heaviness. He simply said some words of encouragement and then watched one person after another being led out of the venue by the armed police and judicial police.

This arrangement was intentional, in order to shock people.

After the last person was taken away, Qin Siyuan said goodbye to Sha Ruijin and left the venue. He wanted to take these people back to report.

"This meeting room is so deserted!" Sha Ruijin sighed, "Let's start the meeting, Minister Wu."

The most important thing about this meeting is the personnel adjustment. Qian Yunzheng, secretary-general of the Provincial CPPCC, will temporarily preside over the work of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. It seems that he will replace Li Dakang; Luzhou Mayor Yi Xuexi will be transferred to the position of Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection; Guangming District Mayor Sun Liancheng will be appointed as Secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee and nominated as Deputy Mayor of Jingzhou.

Yu Xian, who was on duty in the office, watching the lights in every house and hoping to retire to the second line for retirement, did not expect to receive such explosive news during the New Year. Not only could he not go to the second line, but he also had to be promoted half a level to clean up the mess for Li Dakang and Ding Yizhen. Why is his life so miserable?

This news made him have a miserable year. He just wanted Qian Yunzheng and Yi Xuexue to take up their posts as soon as possible and start their work. As for Wu Xiongfei's death, he didn't even come to the unit to see him during the school holidays.

It’s never been so easy to quit your job to study!

In the second week after the Chinese New Year holiday, the two sessions of Jingzhou City were held. Yu Xian's proposal to abolish Document No. 24 was passed at the delegation meeting. At the same time, it was decided to restart the renovation project of old residential areas at the end of the year. Yu Xian, under the pseudonym of Sun Liancheng, was officially elected as the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City, taking over Ding Yizhen's previous job.

Over the next five years, Qian Yunzheng, Yi Xuexi and Yu Xian worked together to clean up the mess left by Li Dakang and Ding Yizhen, gradually erasing the dark memories of this forest of steel and stone.

With Yu Xian's mediation, the investors' fears about Yi Xuexue's arrival were calmed, and the Guangmingfeng project progressed steadily. Construction was completed in the third year, and various businesses moved in to become the largest urban complex in Handong. In the last year of Yu Xian's term, when he was about to retire, the renovation project of old residential areas in the main urban area of Jingzhou City that met the requirements for renovation was also completed as scheduled.

When the last family moved into the renovated resettlement house on a favorable day, Yu Xian also reached retirement age and received vice-ministerial level treatment.

Sha Ruijin successfully completed the task within the term and moved up to a higher level. He has now been promoted half a level and left Handong;

Chen Yanshi almost died from exhaustion when he was working with the inspection team to review the materials he provided to report Zhao Lichun. It was Chen Hai's announcement that he wanted to marry Lu Yike that brought him back to life. Now he is taking care of his granddaughter.

After completing the task force mission, Hou Liangping returned to his original unit. However, he no longer had the same enthusiasm as before, became increasingly depressed, and was eventually placed in an idle position.

On the bad side, Zhao Lichun was sentenced to life imprisonment, Gao Yuliang to eighteen years, Zhao Ruilong, Qi Tongwei, and Du Bozhong to death, Ding Yizhen to life imprisonment, Gao Xiaoqin to twelve years, and Zhao Xiaohui to twenty years...

Zhao Lichun's family and its interest chain were uprooted; Gao Xiaoqin's Shanshui Group was sealed and then publicly auctioned; after all Gao Xiaofeng's assets were confiscated, she took Gao Yuliang's children back to the small fishing village many years ago and lived a simple life.

Li Dakang was expelled from the organization, removed from public office, and sentenced to six years in prison for abuse of power and dereliction of duty.

Upon hearing about the changes at home, Li Jiajia, the only daughter, gave up her studies and returned to Jingzhou. Her boyfriend Lin Xiaowei also came back with her.

Zhongfu Group's Lin Manjiang was caught in corruption and dereliction of duty, and the second-in-command Qi Benan became the new chairman. He cleaned up the termites within Zhongfu Group with an iron fist, reorganized the Handong branch of Zhongfu Group, and quickly contacted the Jingzhou Municipal Government to promote the reconstruction project of the miners' new district as quickly as possible.

There was no "March 28" incident this time, and the transformation of the entire mining new district was completed smoothly. Everyone moved into the renovated buildings and lived a modern urban life.

The two young people, Li Jiajia and Lin Xiaowei, did not give up on themselves because of the huge changes in their family. After registering their marriage, they rented a storefront in this complex to sell fast food. During their study abroad, they learned to cook for themselves because they could not get used to the food there. Their business is very good in the complex where people gather.

Wang Dalu is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Considering that his two children were helpless, he gave Li Jiajia a house and start-up capital. This is also the reason why the couple can live in the big city of Jingzhou and rent a storefront in the urban complex.

In the busy Guangming Peak Complex Square, an old man with a hunched back sits on a stone pillar that is scorching hot from the sun, looking at the people with happy smiles on their faces.

He still remembered that cold night a few years ago when, right here at his feet, there were cries and wailing everywhere. An old man held a torch and stood in front of the cold bulldozer bucket in the cold wind, looking fearlessly at the huge construction machinery in front of him.

At that time, I felt that the scene was extremely glaring. I felt that the old man who was taking advantage of his seniority was blocking my way. He was just like those short-sighted workers who only saw the immediate benefits and could not feel the bright future.

"Dad, why are you here again! What if you get heatstroke in such a hot day!" A woman wrapped in an apron ran over with an anxious look on her face.

"It's okay, my health is not that bad!" The old man didn't care.

"Dad, as long as it's not raining, what are you sitting here looking at no matter whether it's hot or cold?" Li Jiajia was very depressed about her father's behavior.

Li Dakang was released from prison a year early due to his good behavior and was given a reduced sentence. Now Lin Xiaowei and Li Jiajia are taking care of him in his old age. But he always likes to sit here and think about the time when he was high above everyone else and could call the shots.

This urban complex that the whole Handong yearns for was initiated by Li Dakang, and he gave everything for it, but now it has no future.

But now that the project has been completed and is in operation, the person who enjoys this glory is actually Sun Liancheng, who was a coward in front of him a long time ago. He saw with his own eyes the gratitude and respect in the eyes of the property manager and security guards when that man brought a group of children here to purchase items.

But no one mentioned Li Dakang, the initiator of this project, which he could not accept.

Li Jiajia looked at her father's eyes, which were constantly changing with joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and knew that he had remembered the days when he was in power and could command the country. She felt extremely sad, because she knew that her once proud father still could not accept the reality of becoming a member of the common people after losing everything.

She wiped her eyes calmly, then reached out and helped Li Dakang up and walked towards the door of the building. At this time, the picture on the big screen in the square changed to the news from Jingzhou TV.

"It's lunchtime news time. At nine o'clock this morning, the municipal party secretary, Yi Xuexue, visited the Continental Group's high-tech factory in the city's economic development zone. In recent years, under the guidance of the Jingzhou Municipal Government, the Continental Group has invested heavily in high-tech industries while building a foothold in traditional industries..."

The pictures switched smoothly along with the host's report. Li Dakang sighed heavily as he watched his good friends who had once shared hardships sitting together and chatting and laughing.

The three young people who once had the same ideals are now in very different situations.

A late bloomer with a bright future;

One became a famous entrepreneur;

A person who fell from the high clouds, was imprisoned and became a passerby.

But all this has nothing to do with Yu Xian. After retirement, he was so bored that he simply came to the Children's Palace and taught the children to look at the stars, just like Sun Liancheng in the original plot.

It was just that when he looked at the vast universe, he always wondered why he had lived three different lives. After the so-called system brought him to this world, it had been silent, and he didn't know whether it had left or was dormant.
