Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Zhou Haitao opened his notebook and wrote down Zhong Heping's words.

"Should we send someone to verify the materials from the Jingzhou Municipal Government?"

"There's no rush to send anyone."

Zhong Heping waved his hand.

"Once Yi Xuexi officially takes office, let's see how he takes over and how Chen Jianguo arranges things."

"When someone first joins a new team, it's easiest to see their true colors. Some people are eager to get close, some are eager to seize power, and some will first thoroughly investigate their past actions."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Gaofei's face showed a hint of understanding.

Zhong Heping has never given up on Jingzhou during this period.

Although Yi Xuexi has already made his move, whether he can truly gain a foothold in the Jingzhou Municipal Government depends on how the situation unfolds.

Zhong Heping's gaze then fell on another document on the table.

The document cover had a few words written on it.

Coordination meeting on political and legal funding.

The provincial court, the provincial procuratorate, and the department of justice will all participate. The meeting is ostensibly to discuss funding, staffing, and technical equipment for grassroots case handling, but in reality, it is an opportunity for Zhong Heping to open up the political and legal system.

Especially Ji Changming.

Zhong Heping tapped the document twice with his finger.

"How's the prosecutor's office's preparation of the materials coming along?"

Qiu Gaofei answered immediately.

"The Provincial Procuratorate Office confirmed yesterday afternoon that it will list all the vehicle, equipment, and personnel shortages in the grassroots procuratorates of various cities and prefectures."

"Ji Changming also specifically requested the Anti-Corruption Bureau to submit materials on the difficulties of handling cases across regions, which shows that he attaches great importance to this case."

"It's a good thing to pay attention to it."

Zhong Heping leaned back in his chair, his expression softening slightly.

"Ji Changming is a senior figure in the procuratorial system, and his words carry weight. He may not necessarily be willing to side with anyone, but as long as he is willing to sit down and talk, things can be discussed."

Chen Lidong frowned and said, "Although Ji Changming and Liang Qunfeng have a big conflict, he has always been very cautious. If we only talk about funding and equipment at this meeting, we may not be able to get him to agree."

"Who told you to force him to admit it?"

Zhong Heping looked up at Chen Lidong.

"Ji Changming is no ordinary cadre; he's guarding the procuratorate's name. The more you pressure him to give his opinion, the more wary he'll become."

"We only discussed work during the meeting, but I spoke with him privately afterwards. I listened to what he had to say and let him know that the provincial government was willing to listen to the difficulties faced by the procuratorate."

Chen Lidong immediately suppressed his impatience.

"clear."

Chung Heping continued, "The prosecutor's office is the key, but the courts and the Department of Justice cannot just be supporting roles."

"After the meeting, the four of you will split up and contact the cadres in these systems. Focus on three things: ability, resume, and ambition."

Shen Liang raised his head.

"Governor Zhong, what do you mean?"

"Handong is such a big place, it's impossible that only Lu Kangcheng and the people around Liang Qunfeng can get things done."

Zhong Heping spoke calmly, yet the weight of his words was palpable to everyone present.

"We didn't get the positions we wanted in those two battles between the Jingzhou Municipal Government and the Public Security Bureau. Since we can't get through directly, we'll look for people elsewhere."

"In courts, procuratorates, judicial departments, and even the political and legal departments at the prefecture and city levels, there will always be some people who have not taken sides and no one is willing to use them."

"If a cadre is capable, ambitious, and has a clean resume, we should take a closer look at him."

The office was quiet for a moment.

Qiu Gaofei was the first to react.

Chung Heping didn't just want to meet with Chi Changming once.

He planned to use this coordination meeting to find a group of capable people in the political and legal system and gradually build his own team.

"Governor Chung, we have already taken note of the relevant candidates."

Qiu Gaofei said, "The research office of the provincial high court has cadres who have been working on trial reform materials for a long time, and they are very competent. There are also a few people in the grassroots division of the Department of Justice. They are not high-ranking, but they have been working at the grassroots level for many years and know what is lacking."

"In addition, several promising young cadres have recently emerged from the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court and the Lüzhou Procuratorate."

Shen Mingliang then added.

"Most of these people don't have any obvious background, they're not close to Lu Kangcheng and Liang Qunfeng, and they have no connection with Zhao Lichun's previous group."

"Some people have learned from their mistakes, so they are more cautious in their actions. Others have never had an opportunity and are waiting for someone to give them a platform."

After hearing this, Zhong Heping's gloomy expression finally eased a bit.

"very good."

"When looking for someone, don't just look at where they are now; look at whether they can handle things if they move to a higher position."

"Also, don't rush to make any promises. Get to know them first, talk to them, observe them, and only make decisions after you've confirmed they're reliable."

Zhou Haitao nodded.

"We will handle things carefully."

Chung Heping then looked at the materials from the Political and Legal Affairs Funding Coordination Committee.

"I'll handle Ji Changming's side personally."

"Please schedule ten minutes after the meeting, no more. If it goes on for too long, it will only make people guess."

Qiu Gaofei and the others all understood.

What Chung Heping wanted to give Ji Changming was not a promise to take sides.

It is a form of respect.

The real reason Ji Changming and Liang Qunfeng fell out was that someone wanted to bypass him and use the procuratorate as a tool to do things for others.

As long as Chung Heping doesn't cross this line.

Ji Changming wouldn't have completely closed the door.

Things are almost all arranged.

Zhong Heping suddenly raised his head.

"Any news from EasyLearning?"

As soon as those words were spoken...

Shen Mingliang and Chen Lidong's expressions immediately changed.

Chen Lidong closed his notebook, suppressing his anger, and said, "Governor Zhong, Yi Xuexi was still in Jinshan County yesterday."

"The organizational transfer order has been issued, and he knows you want to see him. Logically, he should have returned to Jingzhou to report for duty long ago."

"But he said he still had things to do in Jinshan County and insisted on waiting until Monday when he officially started work before coming over."

Shen Mingliang was also somewhat dissatisfied.

"In the end, they still didn't take the province's arrangements seriously."

"Governor Zhong personally proposed transferring him to Jingzhou. Even if he didn't rush back overnight, he should at least have arrived in the provincial capital a day in advance to report the situation to you."

"Now that it's been dragged on until today, it's as if someone begged him to come to Jingzhou."

Zhong Heping did not speak immediately.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip. The tea had gone cold, and his expression gradually darkened.

Easy-to-learn approach did make him uncomfortable.

He is willing to use Easy Learning because he appreciates this person's seriousness and willingness to take on challenges.

But a cadre has to wait for the governor before he has even officially taken office.

If this kind of personality were brought into the Jingzhou City government, it's unlikely that they would be so obedient in the future.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Zhou Haitao spoke up: "Governor Zhong, I have met Yi Xuexi once."

"That's just his personality; he's not putting on airs on purpose. If he feels that things in Jinshan County aren't finished, he'll finish what needs to be done, no matter how urgently the organization is urging him."

"When the Crescent Lake water source had a problem last time, even though he had already received a transfer notice, he still led water conservancy and environmental protection personnel to the site and suppressed the hotel's illegal construction."

Chen Lidong said coldly, "Being conscientious in doing things doesn't mean you don't know the rules."

"When he gets to the Jingzhou municipal government, he'll be dealing with Chen Jianguo and Li Dakang, not those township officials from Jinshan County. If he continues with this attitude of ignoring everyone, he'll inevitably suffer a crushing defeat sooner or later."
