Chapter 1120 (To be revised 6)
“Corresponding punishment?” Zhong Xiaoai suddenly raised her eyes and sneered, “Transferring from the position of deputy secretary of the Jiangchang County Party Committee and then becoming the director of the Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau, what kind of corresponding punishment is that?”
In my opinion, this is not a punishment at all, but rather a demotion in name only and a deliberate promotion.
To directly promote a cadre with serious doubts and dereliction of duty—a "tainted" official—to a core anti-corruption position and wield the sword of justice is utterly ridiculous and absurd!
Hou Liangping's chest tightened suddenly, and the anger he had been holding back ignited instantly. He retorted with barely suppressed fury, "Director Zhong, can I take that as a sign that you have harbored a deep-seated prejudice against me from the very beginning?"
“Prejudice?” Zhong Xiaoai chuckled. “I’m just stating the facts, basing my arguments on clues and adhering to discipline.”
The procedural anomalies of transferring someone from a derelict post and promoting them to a key position are clear. This is not prejudice, but suspicion!
As a member of the political and legal system, don't you understand?
"Doubts? The law emphasizes the principle of presumption of innocence, yet you label me a cadre with problems based solely on doubts? Isn't that prejudice?" Hou Liangping retorted sharply. "Besides, I have repeatedly explained that Jiang Chang's problem was caused by objective limitations and multiple factors."
It was absolutely not my fault, much less that I was sick!
There were no procedural issues with the organization transferring me to Jingzhou to serve as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
I graduated from the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University, which is a relevant field of study. I also served as the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau in Hekou County, Yantai City, so I have relevant experience.
Therefore, placing me in this position was entirely based on a combination of factors.
Hou Liangping's counterattack was well-reasoned and seemed to leave no room for criticism.
Zhong Xiaoai retorted, "Presumption of innocence? Hou Liangping, get this straight, this is a disciplinary review, not a court trial."
The standard for enforcing discipline has always been to verify all doubts and investigate all abnormalities.
Using legal principles to evade disciplinary investigations, don't you think that's putting the cart before the horse?
You say your expertise matches your skills, your experience is relevant, and the procedures are compliant. Okay, then let me ask you, why haven't any of the dozen or so anti-corruption officers in the province who have more seniority, more complete resumes, and more experience than you been promoted?
Instead, it was you, the comrade who caused the "problem," who got promoted?
Hou Liangping's expression changed slightly, but he still refused to budge: "The appointment of cadres has always been based on comprehensive assessment. Seniority-based promotion is a bad habit!"
Perhaps the organization values my abilities, my drive, and my willingness to fight; that is the most legitimate reason!
And as it turns out, their judgment was correct. Since I became the director of the Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau, my anti-corruption achievements have been remarkable, which is common knowledge.
“Sharpness?” Zhong Xiaoai sneered. “I think someone has their eye on the position of director of the anti-corruption bureau and wants to use anti-corruption to achieve their own ulterior motives.”
After saying that, he turned to the third document, pushing the conflict to a more acute core.
"Since we've come up with your anti-corruption achievements, let's take this opportunity to talk about the third point."
You say you have achieved remarkable results, but a considerable number of people believe that you are selectively fighting corruption or engaging in anti-corruption campaigns with ulterior motives.
The materials show that many of the cases you investigated were more or less related to the interests of a certain provincial-level leading cadre.
"Selective anti-corruption? Purposeful anti-corruption, targeting a certain provincial leader?"
"What a high-sounding charge!" Hou Liangping sneered, slowly leaning back in his chair, his gaze sharp as an eagle as he stared directly at Zhong Xiaoai. "Director Zhong, I would like to ask, you say that my anti-corruption efforts are selective and purposeful?"
But in every case I've handled, wasn't the evidence overwhelming? Didn't every case draw widespread public outcry? Or is it that none of them should have been arrested? None of them should have been investigated?
