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

Lu Kangcheng gave Liang Qunfeng an appreciative look.

"The fact that you can see this layer means you are not swayed by your emotions."

"There are so many officials and so many positions in Handong Province."

"We can't possibly eat all the meat and leave no soup for others."

Lu Kangcheng stood up, walked to his desk, and picked up a map of the administrative divisions of Handong Province.

He spread the map on the coffee table and drew a large circle on it with his finger.

"Next, Chung Woo-ping will definitely go on a nomination spree for his own people."

"My principles are very simple."

"As long as it doesn't involve key positions such as those related to the core powers of the public security, procuratorate, and courts, financial approvals, or urban planning."

"Some marginal deputy bureau-level officials, or the heads of departments with little influence."

"If he wants to bring it up, I'll let him."

"Not only will I not veto it, I will also strongly support him at the Standing Committee meeting."

A ruthless glint of calculation flashed in Lu Kangcheng's eyes.

"That's what they call casting a long line to catch a big fish."

"Let him feel that he still has a voice in Handong Province, and let him expose all those guys hiding in the shadows."

"Once they take up their positions and achieve results, it will be due to the effective leadership of the provincial party committee."

"If anything goes wrong, we'll settle both the old and new scores together!"

After hearing this plan, Liang Qunfeng suddenly felt enlightened.

This is the true power struggle, an open and overt scheme.

Use insignificant positions to gain political initiative.

At the same time, it can leave a good reputation among the top officials in Beijing as a united team that supports the work of the provincial government.

"Secretary Lu is brilliant."

"I completely agree."

Liang Qunfeng nodded heavily.

"We just need to hold on tightly to those key positions that determine the economic lifeline and political direction of Handong."

"Consider the rest as a consolation prize for Zhong Heping."

Lu Kangcheng shifted his gaze from the map back to Liang Qunfeng's face.

His expression turned serious.

"Therefore, the most crucial and critical position right now is that of the mayor of Jingzhou."

"The current mayor will step down in two months."

"This position absolutely cannot fall into Zhong Heping's hands."

Lu Kangcheng stared intently at Liang Qunfeng.

"Qunfeng, you've been investigating the entire province for so long."

"Have they found a suitable candidate yet?"

Liang Qunfeng's expression instantly turned somewhat ugly.

He shook his head helplessly and let out a heavy sigh.

"Secretary Lu, this is difficult."

"I thoroughly examined the resumes of all the cadres in the province who met the required rank."

"There are really not many who can shoulder heavy responsibilities."

Liang Qunfeng pointed to the resumes on the coffee table and began to analyze them one by one.

"There are a few people in the provincial government departments who have high theoretical levels."

"But they've never served as the top official in a prefecture or city before, so they simply couldn't handle the complex situation in Jingzhou."

"There are several municipal party secretaries in the cities and prefectures below who are doing a good job."

"But they are either nearing the age limit, or they lack the experience to lead economic development."

Liang Qunfeng paused for a moment, his tone becoming even more somber.

"There are a few others who are capable and qualified enough."

"But during our covert investigation, we discovered that they had all been too close to Zhao Lichun back then."

"They're not clean to some extent."

"Bringing them up at this time is practically handing a knife to Zhong Heping."

After hearing this, Lu Kangcheng frowned deeply.

The vast province of Handong is facing the embarrassing situation of having no one available.

This is incredibly ironic.

"I really don't want to implement Gao Yuliang's contingency plan unless absolutely necessary."

Lu Kangcheng's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"The Public Security Bureau has only just stabilized."

"If Gao Yuliang is transferred, the political and legal system will face new changes."

Liang Qunfeng immediately expressed his opinion.

"Don't worry, Secretary Lu."

"I will continue to expand the scope of the investigation."

"If all else fails, we'll bring in people from other provinces."

Lu Kangcheng shook his head, rejecting the suggestion outright.

"There are too many uncontrollable factors in transferring people from other provinces."

"They must be cadres from Handong."

Lu Kangcheng sat back down on the sofa and picked up his teacup.

"Keep searching."

"Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find someone for me within two months!"

……

Governor's Office.

The red documents on the coffee table seemed to carry a scorching heat.

Ji Changming stared at Chen Yanshi's retirement approval letter without saying a word.

Looking at Ji Changming's tense face, Zhong Heping decided to offer him a sweet treat first.

"Quarterly inspection."

"You've led the procuratorate very well these past two years."

"Especially the anti-corruption bureau handled several major cases exceptionally well."

"The provincial government highly recognizes your work achievements."

Zhong Heping spoke in a gentle tone, as if he were having a casual chat.

"You have done a great job."

Ji Changming immediately bowed slightly, adopting a posture of being flattered.

"Governor Zhong, you flatter me."

"This is all thanks to the effective leadership of the provincial Party committee and government; I was just doing my job."

"I dare not take credit."

Zhong Heping waved his hand with a bold gesture.

"A merit is a merit; there's no need to be modest."

"I called you here today because I want to tell you the truth."

"If the prosecutor's office needs anything in the future, just let me know."

Zhong Heping leaned forward, his gaze fixed intently on Ji Changming.

"Whether it's the allocation of case-handling personnel, policy support, or the funding gap for case handling."

"As the governor, I will fully support your work!"

These words were undeniably heavy.

It's like the governor of a province directly gave the procuratorate a blank check.

As long as Ji Changming nods.

He will immediately receive a massive amount of resources from the provincial government.

Ji Changming first gave a grateful smile.

He nodded repeatedly in thanks.

"Thank you so much, Governor Zhong."

"With your words, our colleagues in the procuratorate have more confidence in doing their work."

Then, Ji Changming changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat troubled.

"However, Governor Zhong, besides the funding shortfall mentioned at the meeting, our institute currently has..."

"We can manage in other aspects for the time being."

The smile on Zhong Heping's face vanished instantly.

He leaned back on the sofa, looking coldly at Ji Changming.

"That doesn't seem right?"

Ji Changming feigned a strange expression and blinked.

He remained silent, waiting for Zhong Heping to make his move.

Zhong Heping extended a finger and tapped the red document on the coffee table.

"Chen Yanshi from the procuratorate has just completed his retirement procedures."

"Such a crucial leadership position is vacant."

"You're telling me you can handle the staffing?"

Ji Changming immediately understood that Zhong Heping was about to lay his cards on the table.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the challenge.

"Indeed, after Chen Yanshi stepped down, the burden on the hospital became much heavier."

Ji Changming immediately offered his reasons for defense.

"However, our staffing at the grassroots level is still full."

"Many division-level cadres are queuing up for promotion."

"We can definitely tap into our internal resources and get the work done first."

Ji Changming's words were a blatant insinuation directed at Zhong Heping.

We don't need more people, so don't try to squeeze more in.
