238: Chapter 238 Major Reshuffle of the Leadership Team

Suspecting that he might be reprimanded again, Ling Yun cursed under his breath.

But he had no choice but to go, so he put on a humble expression, knocked, and pushed open the door to the office of the County Party Secretary.

Huh!

As soon as he pushed the door open, Ling Yun froze.

Besides Qin Chuan, Deputy Secretary Liu from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was also in the office. The two were sitting on the sofa, seemingly discussing something.

Yesterday, Qin Chuan had given Secretary Kang Kewu that list, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had quickly conducted a secret investigation. Everything they investigated was accurate, and although about half remained uninvestigated, it was enough to first have Ling Yun taken away for investigation.

After receiving approval from Secretary Kang, a team led by Deputy Secretary Liu from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had already arrived in Wanshun County.

Before having Ling Yun taken away for investigation, they naturally had to inform the County Party Secretary, Qin Chuan, beforehand to show him respect.

The two had just finished their discussion, so Qin Chuan made a call and summoned Ling Yun directly.

"Director Ling, come in."

At this moment, Ling Yun felt very uneasy. A deputy secretary from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was sitting there; why was he here, and what was he here for?

Biting the bullet, with a stiff smile on his face, Ling Yun walked in, "Secretary Qin, Secretary Liu, hello."

Qin Chuan said, "Ling Yun, I reprimanded you just yesterday, and you patted your chest and guaranteed that you were clean and incorruptible. And yet?"

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on Ling Yun's forehead.

Could Deputy Secretary Liu be here specifically for me?

I wasn't even in Wanshun County, or even in Ningzhou; I went all the way to the provincial capital to purchase property, and I've always been careful. It's impossible for me to have been discovered.

He was panicking inside, but he still tried to act tough, immediately quibbling, "Secretary Qin, I really haven't done anything. Regardless of which position I've held, I have always been clean and have strictly demanded integrity from myself."

Qin Chuan sneered. This guy was still acting even now; he really wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin.

"Secretary Liu, since he refuses to admit it, you should announce it."

Deputy Secretary Liu of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection nodded, stood up from the sofa, and said with a stern face, "Ling Yun, you are suspected of serious corruption. I am now announcing that you are to be taken away for investigation."

What!

Taken... taken away for investigation!!!

As the head of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, he certainly knew what being taken away for investigation meant. Anyone who was announced to be taken away for investigation was basically finished.

This also meant that the discipline inspection department had sufficient evidence. Otherwise, they would not easily announce that a cadre was being taken away for investigation; at most, it would be cooperating with an investigation, or questioning, or talks. Being taken away for investigation was completely different!

Ling Yun's face turned deathly pale, and he could barely stand, almost collapsing to the floor.

Deputy Secretary Liu looked at him with extreme disgust, then picked up his phone and made a call. Soon, several staff members from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection entered and took Ling Yun away.

Throughout the process, Ling Yun did not make a scene, but his face was pale, cold sweat poured down, and he looked like a dead fish.

Deputy Secretary Liu shook hands with Qin Chuan, "Qin Chuan, we will be leaving now. Thank you for your cooperation. We will certainly get to the bottom of Ling Yun's case and will keep you informed in a timely manner."

"Secretary Liu, it is my duty to cooperate with your work. Safe travels."

The head of the Organization Department, Ling Yun, was taken away during work hours, and many people saw it. Immediately, the news spread throughout the entire officialdom of Wanshun County.

"My god, I saw with my own eyes that Ling Yun was taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection!"

"I saw it too, and it was Deputy Secretary Liu from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection leading the team himself. I reckon the problem is very serious!"

"Secretary Qin Chuan is impressive. In just a few short months, he has not only achieved great results but also uprooted his opponents one by one. First it was Secretary Yuan Hui and Deputy Party Secretary Liu Yu, and now it's Ling Yun. Impressive, truly impressive!"

The entire officialdom of Wanshun County was talking about Ling Yun being taken away for investigation. Gradually, many officials became even more in awe of Secretary Qin Chuan.

Although Secretary Qin Chuan is young, his ability and methods are truly impressive; one cannot help but admire him.

Because of the list provided by Secretary Qin Chuan, Ling Yun's affairs were quickly investigated clearly. Within just two or three days, the officialdom of Wanshun County was shaken; several cadres were taken away for investigation, and quite a few received disciplinary admonitions or were punished by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection.

They all shared one common characteristic: they had all paid Ling Yun to buy their official positions.

Just a few days after Ling Yun was taken away for investigation, the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee made a major adjustment to the Wanshun County leadership team. Director Hu Bing became the Deputy County Party Secretary, the head of the Organization Department was sent down from the city and belonged to Secretary Kang Kewu's camp, and the new Director of the County Committee Office was promoted from the former Deputy Director of the County Committee Office, Huang Jianping.

The biggest winners were Director Hu Bing and Huang Jianping; they were both Qin Chuan's men.

Although Huang Jianping was usually low-key, his loyalty to Qin Chuan was unquestionable. On his first day in office, he entered Qin Chuan's office several times.

Besides reporting on work, he was practically like a secretary, personally helping to tidy up the office, clean, and so on.

After the county leadership team was adjusted, Qin Chuan's prestige rose to a new height, and the authority of the team leader was fully demonstrated; any matter he mentioned was passed one hundred percent of the time.

The leadership team showed strong cohesion, and the various tasks in the county were carried out very conveniently, reflecting extremely high efficiency.

The construction of the Jigongshan Gold Mine changed with each passing day. By September, it had begun to enter the large-scale mining stage, and the number of employees had reached five or six thousand.

Apart from management and technical personnel, more than half of the ordinary workers were from Wanshun County. Everyone found jobs right on their doorstep, and the pay and benefits were good, so they didn't have to travel thousands of miles to the coast to work on assembly lines.

Everyone was very supportive of Qin Chuan, knowing that without him, there wouldn't be such a good job.

The construction of the Shenglong Automobile manufacturing plant was also very fast. Also in September, the main factory building was topped out, and it is expected to be officially put into production before New Year's Day.

Qin Chuan took office in April as the County Party Secretary of Wanshun County. In just half a year, the entire Wanshun County had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Time quickly entered the end of September, and the annual National Day holiday was about to arrive.

Zhu Qingxi called early and proactively said she wanted to come over.

Qin Chuan naturally welcomed it; the two hadn't seen each other for a while, and at most, they chatted on the phone every day—distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

As for going home to accompany his parents during the long holiday, it wasn't a mandatory option because Qin Chuan had gone back to stay for a night just last weekend, so he didn't need to rush back.

"Qingxi, I'll pick you up at the train station, how's that?"

"Okay, it's a deal."

She had originally planned to drive over, but Qin Chuan said that the expressways would definitely be very congested during the National Day holiday, and he wasn't at ease with a girl driving several hundred kilometers, so it would be better to take the train.

Wanshun County did not yet have high-speed rail, so taking the train was undoubtedly the best choice; she could go directly to the Wanshun County train station, buy a sleeper ticket, and basically arrive after a night's sleep.
