The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

Chapter 369 Sailboat Group's Bid Rejected

As the Party Secretary of the city, what he wanted was actually very simple: to have the entire Xing'an City under his control. Whether or not he could get rid of Chen Guobiao was not important to Huang Zhen.

What Huang Zhen needs is for Mayor Chen Guobiao to listen to him. As long as Chen Guobiao listens to him, Huang Zhen doesn't mind letting him off the hook.

Moreover, compared to removing Chen Guobiao and replacing him with a new person, Huang Zhen would prefer Chen Guobiao to stay, as this would definitely make his control over Xing'an City more secure.

After all, if a new person comes in, the other party will definitely still be in the opposing camp. Since they are in the opposing camp, there will be some power struggles with him. At that time, he will have to use methods to subdue the other party, which is not the most advantageous situation for him.

At the same time, Chen Guobiao was also very clear about Huang Zhen's purpose.

His actions, which alerted the enemy, only alerted himself. There are two reasons why he chose to target the director of the finance bureau.

The head of the First Finance Bureau was his brother-in-law. Targeting his brother-in-law was a way of telling him that this whole thing was aimed at him, and there was no room for escaping it.

Another reason is that the matter of using him as a scapegoat is similar in nature to his own situation.

Since Huang Zhen could take action against his own brother-in-law, it means he could take action against himself at any time.

The reason the other party hasn't done so yet is that they are waiting for my response; they want to use this method to get me to join their side.

How to do?

On one hand, Huang Zhen took drastic measures and implicated himself as well.

Chen Guobiao knew very well how much he had done that couldn't withstand scrutiny. Right now, no one dared to touch him because of his position, but if any of his secrets were exposed, he would be doomed.

Or should we ask for help?

Chen Guobiao was well aware that the struggle at the higher levels had reached a fever pitch, and the final outcome would be revealed in two or three months. Therefore, he was concerned about whether he could get help from above if he sought assistance at this point.

If I get it, what do I have to give up?

Although it seems that Governor Lin Zhenguo is at a disadvantage, it is because his old leader is still in the position of provincial party secretary, while the other party has no possibility of being re-elected. He is just looking for his successor.

But can it succeed?

Chen Guobiao was well aware that, regardless of the final outcome of this battle, there was no safety risk for those in power; at worst, one would retire normally, and the other would smoothly take over.

But what about yourself?

If I were to switch allegiances at this point, although people would gossip about me and I would have virtually no hope of being promoted again, I would be able to land safely.

Hey……

With a sigh, Chen Guobiao told Dong Xinghai to go directly to handle the case.

Do what needs to be done, investigate as needed. The clues have already been presented; there's no way to protect the other party. The best outcome is for them to be removed from their post and punished; it would be good enough if they could keep their public office.

Realizing that becoming the director of the finance bureau was impossible, Chen Guobiao tidied his clothes after arranging things for Dong Xinghai and went directly to Huang Zhen's office.

No one knows what the two talked about inside; all that is known is that Chen Guobiao stayed inside for about four hours.

The very next day, the municipal party committee announced that the municipal plan made last month had some revision suggestions from higher authorities, and a new meeting was needed to revise it again. Moreover, this meeting would be personally chaired by Comrade Huang Zhen, the municipal party secretary.

Although it was just a simple meeting notice, some people with a keen sense of smell had already sensed something was amiss.

A significant conflict erupted between Huang Zhen, the Party Secretary of the Municipal Committee, and Chen Guobiao, the Mayor, over the municipal planning work done last month.

It is said that Mayor Chen Guobiao did not obtain the consent of Huangzhen when he made the plan. He was the one who made the plan. This is also a way for Chen Guobiao to show everyone his power.

Through this incident, he was telling everyone that although Huangzhen was the Party Secretary of Xing'an City, Chen Guobiao was the one who truly made the decisions.

The result was that such a landmark event had to be revisited just one month later, and Huang Zhen was the chair of the meeting.

What do you mean?

Does this mean Chen Guobiao's original decision is no longer valid?

In addition, there was a seemingly insignificant notice that surprised everyone in the field.

The afternoon after Chen Guobiao and Huang Zhen had their conversation, an inconspicuous tender notice was suddenly posted on the website of the Housing and Construction Bureau.

The announcement was quite simple: two municipal projects previously undertaken by Fengfan Group were rejected due to issues with the wording of the tender documents.

The key point is not that the bid was rejected due to textual issues in the tender documents, but that the municipal project of Fengfan Group was rejected. What signal does this send?

It's important to understand that in Xing'an City, once Fengfan Group sets its sights on a project, there's no need or possibility for other companies to participate.

Although these two projects are only small projects of 300 million and 700 million respectively, what kind of enlightenment does this trend bring?
