On November 27, 2013, Guo Youming, Vice Governor of Hubei Province, was taken away. Suddenly, the entire leadership team was in an uproar. Just when everyone was in danger and worried about being implicated, Zheng Xinghua, who had worked with Guo Youming for nearly 13 years, was restless.
Zheng Xinghua was the former deputy mayor of Yichang City, Hubei Province, and had a close relationship with Guo Youming. It was obvious that Zheng Xinghua had been worried about his fate the moment Guo Youming was taken away.
As expected, just one month after Guo Youming was taken away, Zheng Xinghua was also taken away by the organization for investigation. Seeing the big man in uniform coming to his office, Zheng Xinghua instantly understood that he was completely finished.
So, what exactly did Zheng Xinghua do? Why was Guo Youming in a state of panic all day long after he was taken away?
A small town girl with a strong nature
In 1959, in a small county in Wuhan, Hubei Province, a little girl named Zheng Xinghua was born. Like many ordinary families, Zheng Xinghua has worked hard since he was a child, just to get into a good university and have a good future in the future.
Unfortunately, Zheng Xinghua caught up with the period when the college entrance examination was cancelled. For this reason, after Zheng Xinghua finished high school, he followed the large army and went to the forestry farm in Xinzhou District to join the queue.
However, Zheng Xinghua was also lucky. Just after Zheng Xinghua arrived at the forest farm, good news came out about the resumption of the college entrance examination. After hearing the news, Zheng Xinghua was extremely happy. After studying hard for more than half a year, Zheng Xinghua sat down in the college entrance examination room.
Zheng Xinghua’s parents were extremely happy to learn that their daughter had the opportunity to change her destiny by passing the college entrance examination. At that time, I always persuaded my daughter to work hard to get good grades and serve the country in the future.
And Zheng Xinghua did not disappoint his parents. He was successfully admitted to Wuhan Institute of Chemical Technology and became a college student. In that era when knowledge was scarce, it was not easy to train a college student. Therefore, college students in that era were very popular, and they not only received subsidies but also received distribution.
In 1982, Zheng Xinghua, who graduated from the College of Chemical Engineering, was assigned to work as a technician in a fertilizer factory. For Zheng Xinghua, this position is just a transition in his career.
After only working in his position for two years, Zheng Xinghua was appointed as deputy director of Zhiwei Workshop and began to be responsible for the management of the chemical plant. In fact, Zheng Xinghua is very ambitious. Ever since he started working in the fertilizer factory, Zheng Xinghua has been very good at expressing himself.
climbed up step by step through excellent technology. It took him 15 years to finally take the position of director of the planning department of the fertilizer plant. Just when everyone thought that this position was "over", it was not.
Since becoming the director of the department, Zheng Xinghua's ambition has exploded instantly. In order to reach a higher level, Zheng Xinghua has been looking for new opportunities.
Soon, Zheng Xinghua got a place in Sinopec’s advanced training class. After obtaining this quota, it actually means that Zheng Xinghua has officially started his official career.
In 1999, Zheng Xinghua, who had returned from further studies, was transferred to the Yichang Municipal Development Planning Commission as deputy director. This position also made Zheng Xinghua understand that pursuing an official career was far more complicated than he imagined.
met
by chance when Zheng Xinghua first came to work in a government agency. At that time, Zheng Xinghua had only one idea, and that was to work hard and get started quickly to keep up with the work progress.
However, Zheng Xinghua, who has never been polished in an institution, wants to get started quickly, which is easier said than done? Fortunately, Zheng Xinghua was lucky. It didn't take long before he met a like-minded friend-Guo Youming.
Zheng Xinghua and Guo Youming came to work in Yichang City. Guo Youming was originally the deputy director of the Hubei Provincial Department of Water Resources. The two met because of their work relationship.
Zheng Xinghua didn't expect that although it was the first time for the two of them to meet, they felt like they had met too late. In Zheng Xinghua's view, Guo Youming is a very powerful character. There is a three-year age difference between the two, but Guo Youming is already the deputy director of the Department of Water Resources. It is obvious that his future is unlimited.
In Guo Youming’s eyes, Zheng Xinghua is also a rare helper. Because Zheng Xinghua has a high vision and is able to be uneasy about the status quo and work hard to pursue an official career, he has surpassed most of his subordinates.
Because his initial impression was very good, after Guo Youming was transferred to the position of deputy mayor of Yichang City, he kept talking about Zheng Xinghua, a strong woman.
After all, Guo Youming had no one available around him for this transfer and needed to be rediscovered. Therefore, Zheng Xinghua, a female subordinate with a good impression, became the first person Guo Youming wanted to win over.
Just like that, Zheng Xinghua was valued by Guo Youming and became Guo Youming's right-hand man. Under Guo Youming's intentional promotion, Zheng Xinghua's official career can be said to be quite smooth.
And Zheng Xinghua did not disappoint Guo Youming. Zheng Xinghua, who is devoted to his work, has long been practicing in the shopping mall and has developed a clever mouth. Moreover, Zheng Xinghua himself has outstanding abilities and no background, so he is a good subordinate who is easy to handle.
Therefore, with Guo Youming's encouragement, Zheng Xinghua transformed from a small deputy director of the National Development and Planning Commission to deputy secretary-general, and truly became a celebrity around Guo Youming.
Perhaps out of admiration for Guo Youming's ability, Zheng Xinghua was willing to help Guo Youming, and this persistence lasted for 13 years.
Crazy promotion road
In fact, Guo Youming's plan for Zheng Xinghua goes far beyond putting Zheng Xinghua in front of him. So after transitioning to the position of deputy secretary-general, Guo Youming began Weihua and Zheng Xinghua's official career.
After polishing his thoughts around Guo Youming, Zheng Xinghua had more and more work in his hands. In order to thank Guo Youming for his support, Zheng Xinghua was very attentive to his work.
The more outstanding Zheng Xinghua's abilities were, the more satisfied Guo Youming was, so he placed more positions on Zheng Xinghua's head. It even gave Zheng Xinghua the title of "the best part-time job in ".
Because in addition to his own job, Zheng Xinghua also held many part-time jobs under Guo Youming's instruction. The most exaggerated thing is that Zheng Xinghua held six concurrent jobs at the most.
Many of these positions are contradictory. For example, the secretary and director of the Bureau of Land and Resources are simultaneously the executive deputy director and deputy secretary of the working committee of the Economic Development Bureau.
Beginning in 2012, Zheng Xinghua was appointed as the deputy mayor of Yichang City. Among her responsibilities, she was responsible for opening up to the outside world, attracting investment, commerce, tourism and other lucrative "fat jobs".
put Zheng Xinghua in a position of real power and supervision. This decision seems to be a good one, but if you think about it carefully, it actually lays many hidden dangers.
Became a slave to profit
In 2006, Zheng Xinghua began to work part-time as deputy director of the Bureau of Land and Resources. It is self-evident how important this position is. The right to speak about land resources in Yichang City means that Zheng Xinghua may affect the jobs of hundreds of people with just one word.
Actually , Zheng Xinghua’s ability to take up this position part-time is inseparable from Guo Youming. Because Guo Youming was in a special position, in order to prevent relevant departments from targeting him, Guo Youming placed important positions on "his own people".
In this way, Zheng Xinghua is ostensibly the head of the Bureau of Land and Resources, but in fact he is just an executor of Guo Youming. After all, , anything linked to land projects is highly profitable.
Guo Youming was naturally unwilling to give up such a huge benefit. For this reason, he contacted Zheng Xinghua many times. After Guo Youming's instructions, Zheng Xinghua naturally did not dare to disobey and took bribes many times.
Every time, as long as it is someone Guo Youming intends to cooperate with, Zheng Xinghua will open the door to allow those companies with mediocre qualifications to obtain qualifications for land projects.
The biggest advantage of doing this is that these companies are very knowledgeable and will give Zheng Xinghua a lot of "favor fees" once they get the project.
Of course, after Zheng Xinghua gets the favor fee, he will divide the spoils with Guo Youming.As the number of projects Zheng Xinghua was responsible for continued to increase, Zheng Xinghua became more and more courageous.
knew clearly that doing so was illegal, and if discovered, he would probably be sentenced to prison. However, Zheng Xinghua still could not disobey Guo Youming, and cooperated again and again, directly causing economic losses to the country.
So, how brave is Zheng Xinghua?
For example, , real estate developers have to pay tens of millions in land transfer fees. In order to avoid taxes, developers find Zheng Xinghua through connections. As long as Zheng Xinghua is given enough benefits, Zheng Xinghua will use various excuses to help these real estate developers avoid taxes.
For another example, some land has different prices due to different land properties. For this reason, many developers approached Zheng Xinghua, promising Zheng Xinghua certain benefits and asking for Zheng Xinghua's help.
If the price given by the other party reaches Zheng Xinghua's psychological price, Zheng Xinghua will re-auction the land through bidding or auction.
And Zheng Xinghua will also disclose the inside information in advance, and finally let the other party get the desired land at the lowest price.
Once, a company approached Zheng Xinghua and wanted to get the right to use a 58-acre piece of land at a low price. After giving Zheng Xinghua a gift, the other party soon obtained the land use rights in advance without any formalities.
But this is not over yet. Under Zheng Xinghua's operation, the other party directly fabricated the qualifications and returned all the land transfer fees paid. After the other party received the transfer fee, Zheng Xinghua received a satisfactory figure.
The other party directly gave Zheng Xinghua 20,000 US dollars, 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 1.5 kilograms of gold jewelry worth 519,000 yuan. All in all, Zheng Xinghua easily received more than 800,000 yuan in benefits.
After Zheng Xinghua took charge of the Bureau of Land and Resources, everything in the Bureau of Land and Resources was in chaos. There was no fairness at all. As long as the benefits were sufficient, Zheng Xinghua would find ways to create clever names to help the other party get the projects he wanted.
Zheng Xinghua's wallet has become bigger and bigger as he participates in more projects. Many people went to great lengths to give gifts, including U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, gold and silver jewelry, etc., all delivered to Zheng Xinghua.
However, although Zheng Xinghua is relatively courageous, he has the help of experts and has always been relatively covert, so he has not been discovered for a long time.
Dongchuang Incident
However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Zheng Xinghua did not expect that with the arrest of Guo Youming, not only the fact of more than 20 million bribes was discovered, but also the relevant departments accidentally discovered the "case within the case".
Just after Guo Youming was arrested, with the investigation of Guo Youming, Zheng Xinghua, a former subordinate, gradually surfaced. Just a month later, Zheng Xinghua was taken away for investigation on suspicion of disciplinary violations.
In the end, what Zheng Xinghua waited for was a fair trial under the law. Not only did all the more than 1.8 million yuan he received from bribes be turned over to the state treasury, he also had to go to jail.. Regarding this result, I wonder if Zheng Xinghua will regret it?
