Chapter 1124 - 1124

After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

The committee members present, of course, knew this applause was not appropriate.

But not applauding would be akin to endorsing Jason Hall's favoritism and lawlessness as a leader, right?

They hesitated for a moment.

Ultimately, they could only applaud.

Enthusiastic applause rang out.

Jason Hall's face became even more untenable.

He could only accompany it with a forced smile, equivalent to acknowledging Dirk Carter's words.

What is this called?

This is called forcing a duck onto a rack, roasting someone over the flames.

It's not that Dirk Carter's political savvy is particularly brilliant, but rather because he dares to speak and act on matters everyone knows but fears to address.

He understands the rules of the officialdom.

While others dare not break them, he does, and that's why he always manages to succeed.

After the applause.

Dirk Carter continued, "Since Vice Chairman Hall came with the intent of sacrificing personal relations for justice, as the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, I believe it is necessary for Vice Chairman Hall to attend this meeting. Next, let me carefully discuss the situation regarding Frederick Eames..."

After Frederick Eames was detained by the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

He quickly admitted his crimes.

With Dean Ross's testimony.

The truth of the absurd relocation of the district committee building fully emerged.

Under the "guidance" of Master Pearson, Frederick Eames conceived the idea of relocating the district committee building.

The city refused to approve it.

Frederick Eames proposed funding the relocation himself.

But, having made the promise, where would he gather such a large sum of money?

After pondering.

Frederick Eames targeted Dean Ross's Grandview Realty Co., Ltd.

At the time, Grandview Realty had acquired the land of Verdant Court for housing development.

Frederick Eames approached Dean Ross.

He told him that the district committee building was about to be relocated and planned to contract this process to Grandview Realty, but with one condition: Grandview Realty must advance the funds, only upon completion of the building would the district committee settle the accounts.

Everyone knows about the real estate industry.

Real estate companies actually have very little cash flow.

They rely entirely on leverage to develop properties.

A portion from bank loans, another from presales.

At the time, Grandview Realty's funds were entirely invested in Verdant Court.

Now having to fund the district committee building project fully was indeed a bit tight.

But Dean Ross still decided to take it on.

First, because government funds wouldn't disappear and eventually would be settled, second, if he managed this project well, it would equate to establishing good relations with the government.

And a third point, Frederick Eames promised to help him coordinate bank loans.

Encouraged by Frederick Eames.

Dean Ross mortgaged Grandview Realty.

Secured a substantial sum of funds from the bank, even pulling money from Verdant Court, committing it to the district committee building's construction work.

The real estate project stalled.

The district committee building was completed.

When looking to settle accounts with Frederick Eames, he began to delay payment with all sorts of excuses.

During this period.

Dean Ross, of course, tried various methods.

But how could he possibly be a match for Frederick Eames?

Pressure from the bank's debt collection and Verdant Court's unfinished state came rushing in, leaving Dean Ross without hope, forcing him to plan to escalate the situation. Unexpectedly, Frederick Eames sent people to warn him if he dared to act recklessly, it would ruin him.

Under mounting pressure.

Dean Ross could only choose to flee.

A well-established company went bankrupt just like that.

Likewise suffering were the residents of Southgate Village.

Frederick Eames thus completed his aspirations by exploiting the system without capital.

Yet ultimately those who suffered losses were the bank, Grandview Realty, and the now homeless residents.

In pursuit of his own interests, he resorted to every means possible.

Beyond this incident.

Frederick Eames has committed numerous outrageous acts.

A particular incident worth mentioning.

Master Pearson told him if he wanted a successful official career, he must engage with a virgin every month, known as The Rite of Lunar Reaping.

Hence, Frederick Eames ordered his subordinates to search far and wide for virgins.

Throughout his years in office.

The number of women harmed by Frederick Eames fills a basket.

Including students still in school.

On this charge alone, Frederick Eames deserves severe punishment.

Of course, seeking Master Pearson's aid for career advancement, over the years he embezzled public funds for donations to Pearson Temple, forcing those beneath him to silently suffer grievances, the impact far more damaging than Griffith Payne.

Dirk Carter spoke for a solid half-hour.

To provide a rough overview of Frederick Eames's current situation.

He took a sip of water.

Rapped the table with his hand, saying, "Comrades, if Griffith Payne is merely greedy and lustful, then Frederick Eames's evil is beyond words. As officials, who doesn't wish for promotion and wealth? However, he doesn't focus efforts on achievements but invests his energy in such illusory matters. Do you think such a person can remain in a leadership position? Do you think our Commission for Discipline Inspection shouldn't deal with him?"

After asking this question.

The atmosphere turned silent.

Even Hadley Thorne and Colter Hall were speechless.

Suddenly.

Lane Quincy cooperatively raised his hand.

He said, "I agree with the Commission's handling of Frederick Eames and firmly support the decisions of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission."

After he finished speaking.

Organization Minister Kendrick Zane also raised his hand, saying, "I also agree."

"I agree too."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"..."

Other committee members began raising their hands in support.

After those at the bottom expressed their opinions.

Colter Hall, knowing he had lost control of the mood, raised his hand and said, "I agree."

All eyes turned to Hadley Thorne, the only one yet to express his stance.

At this point, whether Hadley Thorne agreed or not made little difference.

But he was still the head.

He had to speak.

He exhaled deeply, saying, "I hadn't expected our Silverwood City team to harbor such a nuisance. Frederick Eames's case serves as a significant warning, and I support the Commission's decision to deal with Frederick Eames, restoring a bright future for the residents of Southgate Village."

Once he finished speaking.

Jason Hall's hope extinguished completely.

This time, he knew the situation was irreversible.

"Comrades, dealing with Frederick Eames is just the beginning; the resettlement issue for Southgate Village residents remains unresolved. I propose handing this mess over to the leadership team of Riverwood District for a solution, since they caused this trouble in the first place. My suggestion is for them to draft a resolution within three days, and if they can't, the entire leadership team will face discipline. What do you think?"

Lane Quincy appropriately introduced a new agenda.

With the unanimous approval preceding it.

Plus, this proposal didn't harm the interests of anyone present.

Unquestionably.

This proposal naturally passed smoothly as well.
