Nominal: Student Union? The school's Youth League Committee!

"Furthermore, must an honest and upright official necessarily be promoted to a high-ranking position?"

"Besides, a leader once said that to a worker!"

"Whether I'm a cadre or you're cleaning latrines, we're both serving the people!"

"I don't agree with your point of view!" Li Dakang immediately said.

"I don't agree either, Secretary Gao!" Secretary-General Qian spoke up again.

Wang Wenbo also knew that a memorable scene was about to unfold.

However, Gao Yuliang hadn't finished speaking. The old professor, unleashing his full power, might not be a sect patriarch, but he was certainly an elder of some peak.

Even so, it's not something these people can withstand.

"I haven't finished speaking yet. I'd like to ask you all, what official position and rank does our model comrade hold?"

"He was just an ordinary soldier, a squad leader in a motor transport unit, but he remains a role model for the entire nation!"

"He is still our role model to this day!" Gao Yuliang said.

"That's all for now. I have a few more things to say, I'll continue later!"

"You can speak your own thoughts first!" Gao Yuliang smiled and gestured to Secretary-General Qian, indicating that he could speak first.

Gao Yuliang picked up his teacup and slowly sipped his tea.

"Alright, Secretary Gao, stop with the high-sounding rhetoric!" Secretary-General Qian said.

"Secretary Yuliang, I also think you're using a fallacy of equivocation!"

"Our discussion today is about personnel issues and how to learn from these lessons, not about who are moral exemplars or role models of the times!"

"Exactly, this professor has so many fallacies!" Secretary-General Qian added.

"So that other comrades can easily learn from these moral exemplars, carrying their lunchboxes along the way!"

"How can anyone accept that their own son, Qi Tongwei, is being recommended to the provincial party committee time and again for a vice-provincial-level position?"

Hearing his words, Gao Yuliang spoke up.

"That's exactly what I wanted to say!"

"Old Qian, you can't look down on other comrades just because you weren't promoted to a deputy provincial level position due to your own lack of ability, can you?" Gao Yuliang said.

"When did I ever feel jealous?" Secretary Qian shouted, his face flushed.

"Look at you, you're excited, aren't you?" Gao Yuliang said slowly.

"Let me answer Comrade Dakang's question from before!"

As for Secretary-General Qian, he was completely ignored and was even interrupted.

"As I said before, I still have something to say!"

"I let you speak first because you seemed so eager!"

"Comrade Dakang previously said I was using a fallacy of semantics, but I think it's because you yourself didn't understand what I meant!" Gao Yuliang continued.

"Yes, what are you saying? Others carry lunchboxes and are seen as role models, while others are shoveling latrines, recommending their own people, and they're all government officials!"

"Alright, then let's put this worker in the same position as the national leader."

"Is it possible?"

"Or rather, why wasn't Comrade Lei Feng promoted?"

"Was the political environment corrupted at that time as well?"

Who dares to admit that? To say that things were corrupt back then? Is that a denial of their previous leaders?

Or should we reject their system and their organization?

That means they don't want to live anymore.

"Have I changed my mind, Comrade Dakang?" Gao Yuliang said.

"No!" What else could Li Dakang say? He gritted his teeth and said.

"Is that so?" Gao Yuliang said casually.

"I recommended Qi Tongwei because I know he has the ability!"

"Because I know him well enough. Otherwise, why wouldn't I recommend you, Lao Qian?"

This again brought up the matter of Secretary-General Qian.

"Furthermore, in other provinces, the heads of public security bureaus have already been promoted to the position of vice-provincial level!"

"Is our Handong Province special? Are you trying to get what the higher-ups think of us?"

"Secretary Yuliang!" Tian Guofu spoke up.

"It's not that we don't want to promote the Director of the Public Security Bureau to the position of Vice Governor!"

"But now is not the right time!"

"Secretary Sha encountered quite a few problems during his previous research trip!"

"That matter has been temporarily put on hold!"

"As long as the investigation is thorough and there are no problems, then he's naturally a good comrade and should be promoted!"

That's just something you can fool kids with. Yes, you will promote people, but it will definitely not be Qi Tongwei, but your own people.

He occupied the position of vice governor and also controlled the public security department of the entire province. How wonderful!

And by saying these things, aren't they just putting the blame on Sha Ruijin?

Opinions on Comrade Qi Tongwei are divided.

"It's said that this Director Qi has overly close ties with many businessmen!"

"We cannot promote someone with problems!"

"With an illness? I heard?" Gao Yuliang asked, looking at Tian Guofu.

"Comrade Guofu, is this how you take responsibility for your comrades?"

"Everything is just hearsay, rumors?"

"Too close a relationship with businessmen? It seems our Comrade Guofu has found some evidence?"

"Or is it that Comrade Guofu's idea is just his own, something he's heard from others?"

"So you've also learned the 'rumored reports' style of the Ming Dynasty censors?" Gao Yuliang said casually.

"Personnel matters were previously frozen. I wonder, Secretary Guofu, have you investigated the situation of how many comrades you've identified?"

"Which incidents occurred, and which did not? Which are just suspicions?"

"How have things progressed in each matter? What stage has the investigation reached?"

"Could you tell us?"

"It seems that the personnel issues in Handong have attracted a lot of attention from the Standing Committee members!" Sha Ruijin said at this moment, which can be regarded as a way to get Tian Guofu out of the predicament.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Tian Guofu was one of disappointment and frustration.

Look at how you handle things!

Things that should be done are not done, and things that should be said are not explained clearly.

"Is everyone getting impatient?" Sha Ruijin asked.

However, no one responded to his words.

"We can't let things continue like this in Handong!"

"If this continues, something bad is going to happen!"

"Handong doesn't belong to just one person!"

"Secretary Sha's words are insightful!" Tian Guofu exclaimed from the side.

"We can't let things continue like this in Handong!"

"Personal dependence and factionalism also need to be eliminated!"

"I had already done a lot of preparation before coming to Handong this time!"

"Back then, I heard about the Han University Clique in Handong!"

"Secretary Yuliang is familiar with this, isn't he?" Tian Guofu asked, looking at Gao Yuliang.

"The Han University Gang?" Gao Yuliang asked with a smile.

"That's quite unusual!"

"What? Secretary Yuliang has something to say?" Tian Guofu seemed to have found a loophole in Gao Yuliang's defenses and began to press him.

"The Han University gang? Comrade Guofu thinks too highly of me!" Gao Yuliang shook his head and said.

"Why is our great professor being so modest now?" Tian Guofu asked.

"Isn't everyone saying that our Secretary Yuliang is the leader of our Handa clique?"

Originally, Tian Guofu was planning to say this later, during the democratic life meeting, when everyone was working up a sweat and having a good chat.

But now, how badly has Tian Guofu been squeezed out by Gao Yuliang?

If things continue like this, he probably won't be able to stay in the provincial party committee anymore.

We came here to cause trouble for you, but now we're the ones being bullied.

Can things be done this way? Impossible!

"What?" Before Gao Yuliang could say anything, Wang Wenbo exclaimed in surprise.

"Who? Secretary Yuliang? The leader of the Handa Gang?"

"When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

"Why is Governor Wenbo so agitated?" Tian Guofu frowned, looked at Wang Wenbo, and asked.

Sha Ruijin also looked over at Wang Wenbo, wondering why Wang Wenbo had spoken this time.

In the provincial government, he barely spoke at these meetings, except for Wang Wenbo, who was so active.

Is there something he doesn't know about?

Or perhaps, what are Wang Wenbo's thoughts about himself as the provincial party secretary?
