Chapter 681 The Investigation Team Enters Tianzhou

A week later, Wenshan City’s Executive Vice Mayor Ma Da was suddenly transferred to a temporary investigation team as deputy team leader.

The investigation task is a letter of complaint - a letter of complaint about Sha Ruijin's seven sins.

Only after reading the letter did Ma Da understand what Qi Tongwei said before getting on the car that night.

Ma Da has worked in government departments for a long time and has no experience in this area. He was confused about how to approach this case, how the provincial party committee wanted him to investigate, and whether there was any political bias.

Fortunately, Yu Huabei was also worried about this issue. He was worried that this careless person would turn a formal investigation into a political bomb and blow up Tianzhou.

So the day before the team set off, Yu Huabei personally had a conversation with Ma Da.

"Ma Da, do you know why I assigned you to this Tianzhou Investigation Team?"

Mada shook his head.

Yu Huabei pointed at Ma Da and said earnestly, "I have carefully considered the reason why I decided to let you go to Tianzhou this time. It is entirely out of consideration for your future development.

To be honest, although you have been working diligently in the government department for so many years, I believe you are also clear about your results.

If you continue to gain experience on this path, you will probably be wasting your time. Even if there is an opportunity for you to be promoted to mayor in the future, there will be many different voices in the provincial party committee.

In the final analysis, results determine everything; without results, everything is in vain."

Having said that, Yu Huabei suddenly fell silent.

Why are all these people under my control the same as me? Is the reason my fault?

After a pause, he continued: "So this time, I want you to transfer to Beishan as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and follow the party committee route.

In our country, the Party Committee has always been the core of political leadership, responsible for macro-decision-making and overall coordination, while the government is responsible for the administrative execution body, the management and service of specific affairs.

Since you are not so good at administration, why not try this field? That's how I got promoted.

Of course, I won't promote you to an inappropriate position just because you are my old subordinate.

Your role as temporary deputy team leader is not only a test for Tianzhou cadres, but also a test for you.

After all, while government work and Party committee work are related, their focus and working methods are very different.”

Then he asked, "Do you know what is the most important thing in Party committee work?"

Ma Da thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's global awareness."

Yu Huabei nodded slightly. "I'm glad you understand. Awareness of the overall situation is crucial. No matter what position we are in, we should always take the overall situation as our starting point."

This means we must be accountable not only to higher-level organizations but also to the general public, and we must not neglect our own inner accountability.”

He paused for a moment and continued, "Take the incident where you slammed the table with Comrade Anbang. I personally think that such behavior lacks a sense of the overall situation.

When dealing with problems, we need to think calmly and weigh all factors comprehensively, rather than just relying on momentary impulses and emotions."

Ma Da was in a bit of an awkward situation. The reason he had slammed the table with Zhao Anbang was because of the heavy rains for several days, which caused a batch of cartons from the TV factory to be improperly stored and soaked in water. He wanted to reduce the losses, so he used the excuse that the incoming goods were like that and transferred the losses to the supplier.

The supplier would naturally not agree, but how could an ordinary businessman be a match for him, the deputy director of the Industrial Bureau?

Finally, with no other options left, he turned to Zhao Anbang for help, and the two of them started arguing and even slammed the table.

This was a very serious mistake in his political history.

The reason why his political journey was so difficult was not unrelated to this incident.

"Old leader, this is all in the past."

Yu Huabei said: "Precisely because it happened in the past, we should learn from history. If Comrade Anbang hadn't stopped you, you wouldn't have lost just a batch of cartons, but the reputation of the entire factory and even the county government."

"Yes, after you criticized me, I realized my mistake and took the initiative to shake hands with Governor Anbang and make peace."

Yu Huabei knocked on the table. "Ke Mada, think carefully. Have you taken this lesson to heart over the years? Have you continued to make these individualistic mistakes while working with Comrade Feng Yi?"

Mada nodded honestly and admitted, "I think... there is."

Seeing that Mada could take the initiative to admit his mistake, Yu Huabei's expression eased a little. At least this comrade was much better than Tian Fengyi, the corrupt official, and was worth cultivating.

"Ma Da, now that we've realized this, we must find ways to improve and never make the same mistake again. If you continue to behave this way after going to Beishan, I'm afraid Comrade An Xia and Comrade Tong Wei won't be so easy to talk to. Then, you'll suffer a great loss, and that's not what I want to see."

After hearing Yu Huabei's heartfelt words, Ma Da felt that he had misunderstood this old leader.

No matter what, as an old leader, he treated his old subordinates with both emotion and principle.

Ma Da said: "Old leader, don't worry, I will put it in the right position."

"That's good." Yu Huabei also stopped talking. "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and get ready."

Ma Da didn't get up and leave, but instead asked tentatively: "Old leader, what do you think of Sha Ruijin?"

Yu Huabei smiled and said, "What can I say? Let the facts speak for themselves. If what is said is true, then you should report it truthfully. If it is not true, then you should also report it truthfully.

You are here on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, not any of us. You must be impartial and avoid any personal emotions."

Ma Da replied: "Old leader, I understand." Then he stood up and left.

As they reached the door, Yu Huabei stopped him, "Ma Da, I have to remind you that Sha Ruijin is an exchange cadre. His every move affects the emotions of many exchange cadres. If you really find anything amiss, you must keep your mouth shut. Let the Provincial Party Committee handle everything."

Ma Da scratched his head awkwardly, "Hey, old leader, I'll remember it."

...

The next day, accompanied by the howling cold wind, the investigation team's bus officially set off for Tianzhou.

There were only about a dozen people in the group, and the momentum was not very large.

The head of the investigation team was a deputy minister of the Organization Department named Pi Dingzhong. He was a very tolerant person and always treated everyone with a friendly face.

So the entourage was in a very relaxed state.

Ma Da and Pi Dingzhong didn't have much friendship, but he had heard about Deputy Minister Pi's evaluation from others and had a good impression of him.

The two sat next to each other and had a pleasant conversation along the way.

Looking at Pi Dingzhong, a chubby man with a commanding presence, Ma Da said in a flattering and sincere tone, "Minister Pi, this is my first time participating in this kind of survey, and I still have many shortcomings. Please bear with me if I make any mistakes."

Pi Dingzhong leaned against the bus with his eyes half closed and waved his hand, "Comrade Mada, don't be nervous. This isn't a Commission for Discipline Inspection investigation, nor is it an anti-corruption investigation. The scope of our mission is quite relaxed. Just treat it as a sightseeing trip."

Mada smiled and gave him a small compliment. "With a stable support like you by my side, I really shouldn't be nervous."

Pi Dingzhong also laughed and corrected him, "This has little to do with me. It's the nature of this mission. We're going down there on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, and it's like a routine inspection. It's not targeted at anyone, and there's no goal, so it's naturally not too complicated."
