286: Chapter 286 The announcement of the "double regulation" (a form of internal party discipline) on the spot stunned everyone.

If it had been any other official, facing people from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, they probably would have been paralyzed with fear. Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei was not; he was merely astonished, and then a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, having received an anonymous report, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would come to investigate him, but this didn't look like an investigation into himself at all.

Qin Chuan looked relaxed as he sat on the sofa. "Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei, there is no need to pour tea. We are here mainly to take Su Liang and the others away for investigation. The Northwest Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Anti-Corruption Bureau are assisting in the execution; they are on their way and will be here soon."

What!

Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei was inexplicably shocked!

Because this news had such a huge impact on him, a look of obvious shock appeared on his face. He froze for a full moment before excitedly saying, "Director Qin, are you telling the truth!"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei shook his head. For a matter this big, they certainly wouldn't joke about it; he only asked because he couldn't quite believe it.

This was something he wouldn't have dared to dream of, yet it had actually come true!

As the Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager of Heishanzi Mining Group, Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei certainly knew about the corruption of Su Liang and the others, but his knowledge was limited because they were a small clique that excluded Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei.

After coming to his senses, suppressing the joy in his heart, Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei said, "Director Qin, what do you need me to do?"

He guessed that since Qin Chuan had come in person, it was likely because he wanted him to provide some evidence, clues, or similar things regarding the corruption of Su Liang and the others.

Little did he know, Qin Chuan didn't need these at all. Instead, he said, "Our people will be here soon. To prevent anyone from escaping, we must control these people with lightning speed. My suggestion is for you to convene a meeting in the name of the Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager, requiring all members of the leadership team to attend."

Although he was not the top leader, Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei was the third-ranked leader, so it shouldn't be difficult to require the leadership team members to attend his meeting.

"Director Qin, about how much longer until your people arrive?"

Qin Chuan said, "They will be here in at most half an hour."

Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei said, "That should be enough. I will notify them now."

Thinking about how in a moment, in the conference room, he would take down Su Liang and the others in one fell swoop, it was truly gratifying and exciting.

Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei made calls to arrange the meeting, while Qin Chuan and the others sat on the sofa, waiting for the people from the Northwest Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to arrive.

Because today was a workday, not a holiday, and since Heishanzi Mining Group lost money every year, many official activities had been canceled, and there were very few business trips. Fortunately, every single member of the leadership team was present at the group headquarters.

Su Liang quickly received the notice of the meeting.

He just smiled disdainfully, not taking it to heart at all. Since he was asked to attend, he would go and sit for a while.

The office door was pushed open, and Group Vice General Manager Liu Hui walked in. "Chairman, I really don't understand. Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei suddenly wants to hold a meeting and requires us all to attend. What kind of meeting is it to make such a big fuss?"

Su Liang said, "Everyone has nothing to do right now anyway, so let's go show our faces and sit for a bit."

Liu Hui said with a bit of worry, "Could it be related to this rare earth transaction? Could Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei be up to something?"

Su Liang shook his head and said, "No, he wouldn't dare. I have already warned him. If he really stirs up trouble in this regard, he won't have a good outcome. He is a smart man; without a surefire opportunity and certainty, he won't stir up trouble." Seeing this, Liu Hui felt much more at ease.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost time, they got up to attend the meeting. Sitting on the podium, they saw a dense crowd of two or three hundred people below and were secretly surprised. The entire middle management of the group must have come, along with quite a few grassroots leaders.

The people who came to attend the meeting were also confused. They had suddenly received a notice for the meeting and hadn't expected such a large turnout.

"It's so strange. People from the office of Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei suddenly notified us to have a meeting. I thought it was just an ordinary meeting, I didn't expect so many people."

"I feel like something big is going to happen!"

"That shouldn't be it, maybe it's about some technical matters!"

"..."

While the meeting had not yet started, the entire conference room was noisy, with many people turning their heads to talk to the people beside them.

Su Liang sat on the podium with a slightly serious expression, feeling extremely dissatisfied in his heart. Damn it, he, the top leader, had already arrived, so why hadn't Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei come yet? It made it seem like his rank was even higher than his own.

Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei had been delayed. Just as he was about to come over, the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection arrived. Qin Chuan chatted with Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei for a few words, explaining the action that was about to be taken.

Walking into the conference room, seeing that people were basically all there, and the leadership team members were all present, sitting on the podium, Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei invited, "Director Qin, please come this way."

Only then did everyone realize that several seats on the podium had been left empty; it turned out they were prepared for Qin Chuan and the others.

Who were they!

Almost all eyes looked toward Qin Chuan and the others, including Su Liang, who couldn't help but cast an inquiring look.

His gaze was filled with dissatisfaction, as if to say, Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei, what are you up to? Who are they, and why are they sitting on the podium?

The previously quiet conference room suddenly became noisy.

"Who are they? Why don't I recognize any of them!"

"I don't recognize them either, they are definitely not from our group!"

"They must be experts invited by Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei!"

"How could there be such young experts? Look, they are led by that young man!"

"..."

Finally, a member of the leadership team couldn't help but ask, "Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei, who are these people? Won't you introduce them?"

Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei spoke into the microphone in a loud voice, "Everyone, quiet down. Let me introduce these four guests."

Soon, the huge conference room quieted down.

Everyone was curious; who exactly were these four people?

Chief Engineer and Deputy General Manager Zhao Chunlei's voice was loud and clear, and everyone heard him clearly, "These four are comrades from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is Comrade Qin Chuan, Deputy Director of the 6th Inspection Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."

What!

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!

Su Liang and the others were secretly shocked, having a bad premonition in their hearts.

Qin Chuan stood up amidst everyone's astonished gazes and said loudly into the microphone, "We have received reports that the leadership of Heishanzi Mining Group is suspected of collective corruption. According to our investigation, this situation indeed exists, and the situation is very serious. Now, I announce that Su Liang, Liu Hui, and a total of seven people are to be taken away for investigation!"

What!!!

Everyone stared blankly at Qin Chuan.

Was he that fierce!

As soon as he arrived, he dropped such a bombshell, directly announcing that so many people were to be taken away for investigation!!!
