"Looking back now, the 150,000 yuan that I just received was the stupidest and most wrong." "But at that time, I didn't expect this result, I thought that money was a good thing, I took the bribe giver as a friend, the pigtails were held in the hands of others, and 150,000 yuan bought the rest of my life, I was really stupid!"
These are the words of Luo Qi, former head of the Municipal Public Construction Section of the Shahekou District Housing and Urban Construction Bureau, when he reflected on himself during his stay. In August 2020, Luo Qi was expelled from the party and dismissed from public office for serious violations of discipline and law, and his suspected crimes were transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution according to law.
Before organizing the review and investigation, Luo Qi was only a middle-level section-level cadre of the unit, although the position was not high, but the power was very large, and he could have the final say in the important links such as bidding, on-site supervision, quality inspection, completion acceptance, and project final accounts of the urban construction projects he was in charge of. Some people also saw the opportunity to make a fortune brought about by the power in Luo Qi's hands, and began to find ways to approach Luo Qi by various means, hook up with each other, and carry out "hunting".
Luo Qi's attitude towards construction enterprises has also changed from treating them equally at the beginning to being close to each other, and his interaction with some bosses has become more and more frequent, and he has begun to accept gifts, gifts, and consumption cards given by some construction units and individuals, and accepted the housing decoration services they provide and banquets, entertainment and other activities.
However, the floodgates of greed, once opened, cannot be stopped. Luo Qi's selfish desires continued to expand, and he finally extended his hand to the bidding process of the engineering construction project he was in charge of. He used the "resources" accumulated during his many years of tenure to carefully lay out, and formed a fixed "small circle" with the heads of a number of construction units, using the convenience of power to help the people in the circle win bids, contract projects, and then accept property in a certain proportion. In the past few years, Luo Qi has accumulated illegal profits of 800,000 yuan, and the "benefit fees" of some projects have even reached 10% of the amount of the project target.
Luo Qi's biggest regret was that he initially received 150,000 yuan from Sun. Sun Mou is the head of a company, with the help of Luo Qi, he obtained a certain engineering project and twice gave Luo Qi a thank-you fee of 150,000 yuan. However, after Luo Qi received the money, Sun Mou's attitude toward Luo Qi underwent a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree change, in Luo Qi's words: "In the past, when I confiscated money, the contractor was like a little sheep, he had to knock on the door when he came to my office, very respectful and polite, polite, and even more afraid to show off his might with me, he had to listen to anything I said." But after receiving the money, Sun Mou began to coax with me, and he dared to play with me. At that time, I felt bad in my heart, and sooner or later there would be an accident with this money. ”
Despite this, Luo Qi did not take the initiative to return the 150,000 yuan, nor did he take the initiative to hand it over to the organization. Instead, they continue to collect money and goods from others, firmly tying themselves to unscrupulous businessmen, and going farther and farther down the road of breaking the law and committing crimes.
"I have received gifts and eaten before, and I feel that the power in my hands is really good, but I should never take people's money!" Taking other people's money is to put a rope around his neck and let people lead him, and the tighter it is, the taste is really uncomfortable. ”
"I don't believe how I could have evolved into this state, to the point of breaking the law and committing crimes, it is too late to regret it, it is really tears in my eyes and blood in my heart!"
Micro-comments
From "the stars holding the moon" and "the scenery is infinite" to being led by the nose, Luo Qi tasted the taste of being used. Because of the fear of being reported, Luo Qi's waist can no longer stand up straight, and the requirements of illegal businessmen have been repeatedly accommodated, and in the end, they still have the consequences of a chicken and egg beating, in exchange for endless pain and regret.
Party members and cadres are in their positions and are often the targets of "hunting." At first, the "hunters" will use various means to get you hooked, and some people will gradually lose themselves under the attack of sugar-coated shells, from being "hunted" to being willing to be "hunted", and even become active "takers". However, this is exactly the result that the "hunters" want. In fact, wherever there is any "passive corruption," some people pretend to be confused and know that their behavior is not tolerated by party discipline and state law, but they are still willing to take the bait and form an alliance of interests with the "hunters."
In order not to be "hunted," party members and cadres must be strong in themselves; on the one hand, they must strengthen their ideals and convictions, build a solid ideological defense line, and on the other hand, persist in using power fairly, prudently, and according to law, have principles, boundaries, and rules for their dealings with people, and resolutely guard against being co-opted and corrupted by so-called friends. Remember, at all times, people must live soberly and never be confused "hunters."
