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

"Just progress? Easier said than done!" Gao Yuliang said, shaking his head in disbelief.

"But there's hope, isn't there?" Wang Wenbo said.

"Everything will depend on the capabilities of the new provincial party secretary!"

"Moreover, the position of provincial party secretary was already appointed by higher authorities!"

"Surely the provincial governor wasn't appointed from above, was he?"

"And this happened right after an anti-corruption campaign!"

"There's a widespread sense of panic and anxiety throughout the system!"

"At this point, the leadership will probably need to consider selecting a suitable candidate from within the province to serve as governor!"

"This also signals the end of this matter!"

"Uncle Gao, who do you think you would choose?" Wang Wenbo asked.

"Comrade Dakang is very skilled at developing the economy, which is exactly what Handong needs!"

"Comrade Dakang is now longing for the position of provincial governor!" Gao Yuliang said with a smile.

"Uncle Gao, are you going to have a chat with me over tea about heroes?" Wang Wenbo chuckled.

"Then let's discuss it!"

"Good!" Gao Yuliang said with a smile, and then personally poured tea for Wang Wenbo.

"As I've said before, our Secretary Dakang has absolutely no taboos when it comes to hiring people!"

"There was a problem once before, and now there's another one!"

"If problems arise under these circumstances, will the higher-ups still consider it?"

"Besides, Secretary Dakang's domineering nature is notorious!"

"When you're a county head, you're the top leader; when you're a party secretary, you're the top leader!"

"Once he becomes the governor, won't the provincial party secretary have to listen to him too?"

"What will the new provincial party secretary be thinking?"

"Cooperation is possible, and we'll certainly draw up the pie in the sky for our Secretary Dakang!"

"But from many perspectives, it's unlikely he'll become the provincial governor directly!"

"His chances of taking office are slim!"

"If he were the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and concurrently the secretary of the Jingzhou municipal party committee, then there would be some possibility!" Wang Wenbo said.

"And what about Comrade Far East? He's now the Executive Vice Governor!" Gao Yuliang continued.

"With your contribution to this collaboration, becoming the provincial governor isn't out of the question!"

"It's not uncommon for an executive vice governor to be promoted to governor!"

"The timing is wrong!" Wang Wenbo said, shaking his head.

"He has served as the executive vice governor for less than four years!"

"Although I've served enough time as a deputy minister, I still need more experience!"

"Furthermore, even if there are provincial governors who are promoted directly from executive vice governors, they are not based within the province!"

"I think there are two most likely possibilities: either he'll sit directly in your current seat, Uncle Gao!"

"Either he'll be transferred to another province, to serve as governor or deputy secretary—it's all possible!"

"So, if that's the case, then it really is just me?" Gao Yuliang said, a smile appearing on his face.

"You think so highly of me?"

"If it were in the past, there might have been some changes!" Wang Wenbo said.

"Uncle Gao, you might just retire to the second line, or..."

Wang Wenbo didn't continue speaking, but Gao Yuliang knew what he was going to say.

Or he just went in by himself.

"Then I'll take your kind words!" Gao Yuliang said with a smile.

"However, there's one more situation you haven't considered!"

"Is there one more?" Wang Wenbo asked.

"That means Governor Liu delayed his retirement; it's not uncommon for this to happen!"

"At that time, Governor Liu held this position!"

"You said it yourself, Li Dakang might not be up to the task, and He Yuandong might lack the necessary qualifications!"

"But if Governor Liu continues to persist for a while, then He Yuandong will be given the necessary qualifications!"

"I'm stepping down to the second line; He Yuandong will take over my position!"

"When Governor Liu retires, He Yuandong will smoothly take over!"

As for those who still have a chance to succeed Gao Yuliang, Wu Chunlin, the organization minister, is one, as is Li Dakang, and there's also the newly arrived discipline inspection secretary, Tian Guofu, who's eyeing his position.

However, given the close relationship between Wu Chunlin and Zhao Lichun, and their uncertain futures,

Li Dakang? I've already mentioned his problems before.

Tian Guofu, who has no problems? Gao Yuliang didn't take it to heart. If he couldn't even handle or resist Tian Guofu, then he, as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the leader of the Handong branch of the Handong University gang, would be too incompetent.

And then there's Wang Wenbo. Although Wang Wenbo isn't mentioned at all, as long as He Yuandong can make progress, has Wang Wenbo, who also made great contributions, been overlooked?

How is that possible?

Even if they don't advance in Handong, they can be transferred to other places for advancement.

It would be unreasonable not to reward him for his meritorious service, especially since he was already at the vice-ministerial level and a member of the provincial party committee standing committee.

The next step is likely to be becoming the executive vice governor, which is also the most probable outcome.

Of course, if other positions are desired, it's not impossible; positions such as Organization Minister, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, or Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission are all possibilities.

"Yes, that's one possibility!" Wang Wenbo said.

"If Uncle Gao really gets into trouble, and the higher-ups don't have a good opinion of you!"

"So there are still quite a few variables!" Gao Yuliang said.

"But Uncle Gao, your hopes are just as high, aren't they?"

"That's true!" Gao Yuliang nodded and said.

"Alright, let's give it our all. Who knows what the outcome will be until the very end?"

"And this newly appointed provincial party secretary also needs to be carefully considered!"

"We can't seek refuge with them; even if we did, our superiors wouldn't want us to!"

"That would turn into a one-man show!"

"But we can't completely break off relations; we need to maintain a state of struggle without breaking apart!" Gao Yuliang said, lighting a cigarette and beginning to think.

"That's something you'll need to decide, Uncle Gao!" Wang Wenbo said.

"Okay, that's all for today. I understand what you said!" Gao Yuliang said.

"And here I am, there aren't many places left to attract wolves!"

"Has Uncle Gao's matter been resolved?" Wang Wenbo asked.

"At this point, even the old leader Lichun had no choice but to resolve the issue for me!" Gao Yuliang said.

Zhao Lichun had previously arranged for his allies to go to the other side of the strait, and they had already obtained what they were supposed to get.

Those who disregard the rules are gone too. A businessman, holding leverage over a deputy provincial party secretary, is doomed.

Gao Yuliang didn't even need to get involved; the people there had already taken care of it for him.

Even if they want to bring down Gao Yuliang and use the evidence you have, afterwards, no one will want to see a guy like that.

They could even destroy you using your evidence.

Merchants? What are they compared to them?

He's not even a famous businessman who controls too many workers; he'll deal with you without hesitation.

"That's good!" Wang Wenbo nodded.

"And your senior, Tongwei, is becoming more and more organized in his work!" Gao Yuliang said, feeling gratified.

Now it's finally listening.

The situation is excellent, and the scenery here is particularly beautiful.

If the higher-ups want to fight corruption, it's not impossible for me to do the same; I can select a few people and hand them over directly.

This can be considered as giving an explanation to the higher-ups!

Wang Wenbo finished speaking with Gao Yuliang and got up to leave Gao Yuliang's office.

However, his arrival still attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Every move these provincial party committee members make attracts the attention of countless people and generates a lot of thoughts.

Especially at this crucial time, when the economic forum is about to begin and the provincial party secretary has not yet been appointed,

It's quite eye-catching that a vice governor on the Standing Committee and a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee went to each other's offices for a talk.

However, soon, people learned about Chen Yanshi's previous situation and the situation at the school, and they began to fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.

I guess this time the discussion will be about things related to the school?

And that Chen Yanshi is really annoying. This Secretary Yuliang has been taking care of this old man all along.
