Dean Li listened to Wang Wenbo's words without offering any opinion, only smiling slightly after Wang Wenbo finished speaking.

"Good idea!"

"Alright, that's enough for today. You can go back now!" Dean Li gave the order.

"Yes, leader!" Wang Wenbo stood up, said goodbye to Dean Li, and then left.

As for whether what he said could really work, Wang Wenbo himself wasn't very confident.

It's not that I'm not confident about the matter itself, but rather that I'm not so sure if I can get involved.

Wang Wenbo left just like that, and Dean Li went to a meeting after finishing his conversation with Wang Wenbo.

It wasn't until the meeting ended that some of them went into the small conference room to discuss the situation.

"Mr. Chen, didn't you previously investigate the situation in Handong Province?"

"The leadership also attaches great importance to the development of Handong Province!" General Manager Li said to General Manager Chen above him.

Mr. Chen is their vice president in charge of operations, but he is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Have you found someone yet?" President Chen asked with a smile.

"This is a conversation I had with one of the candidates, Mr. Chen, you can take a look!" Mr. Li said with a smile.

"Oh?" President Chen was also quite curious and looked at the previous conversation with everyone. It was none other than what Wang Wenbo had said before.

"This thing? It seems to be in our development plan, right?" General Manager Chen asked.

"Did he come up with that himself?"

"It should be!" Mr. Li nodded.

"The news hasn't spread yet!"

"This is interesting!" President Chen nodded in agreement.

"It seems this young Wang has a really good sense of things when it comes to economic development!"

"So, Old Li, you intend to place this young Wang in Handong?"

"From the current perspective, Xiao Wang is quite suitable!" said General Manager Li.

Upon hearing this, General Manager Chen simply nodded but did not express any opinion. Instead, another vice president spoke up.

"Xiao Wang's idea is indeed excellent!"

"But he's only in his early forties, right?"

"What position will he be assigned there?"

"If you want to be in charge of this kind of economic transformation, should you be a standing committee member or a member of the Standing Committee?"

"It can't just be a simple deputy governorship, can it?"

"Even this might not be enough to control the situation!"

"And another one, this Xiao Wang, he also came from Handong. Is there some kind of connection between him and Handong?"

"I've already looked into that!" Mr. Li explained upon hearing this.

"After Xiao Wang is demoted, he can be promoted to a position on the Standing Committee!"

"This means we've gained the initial right to participate!"

"You can explain the economic transformation process!"

"Isn't Comrade Liu Zhiyuan of the Handong government about to retire?"

"Let him provide one last bit of protection; it's a way for him to contribute his remaining energy!"

"Everyone is aware of the current situation in Handong!"

"The Wang and Zhong families have already entered the fray, and they've recently begun their operations!"

"The leadership's message is clear: things can change, and anti-corruption efforts can continue, but chaos must not ensue, and the overall situation must not be affected!"

"When they're fighting, someone needs to keep things in check, to control the situation!"

"As for whether Xiao Wang has any connections with Handong!"

"We're still in contact!"

"And that's also one of the reasons I chose Xiao Wang!"

"He and Comrade Gao Yuliang from Handong had a teacher-student relationship for a period of time!"

"I used to study economics and law!"

They were aware of this, but they hadn't been able to find out the specifics of their relationship with Wang Wenbo, even after all these years.

Or rather, there's no need to conduct a thorough investigation; it's not that easy, nor is it necessary.

If there's a real need, then just take it down. If there's no need, what's the point of investigating?

"Gao Yuliang?" Upon hearing this, many people frowned.

"This person does have some flaws, doesn't he? He's getting too close to Comrade Lichun!"

"There are some flaws!" Mr. Li nodded noncommittally.

"But shouldn't we also give our comrades a chance?"

"And we also need comrades like this to stabilize the situation!"

"The specific outcome depends on the specific circumstances!"

As for being too close to Zhao Lichun, that is indeed a problem, but it's not the biggest problem.

It's possible to take someone down, but you can't do it without considering the overall situation. You also need to analyze the final outcome to decide whether to take them down.

We also need to see how Zhao Lichun fares in the end, and whether he knows what's good for him.

"Stability is the most important thing!" President Li concluded.

"Alright, let's add Comrade Xiao Wang to the list of candidates then!" President Chen said.

"We still need to discuss the specifics with the comrades in the Organization Department!"

"Yes, Mr. Chen!"

"And this young comrade Wang, Lao Li, you talk to him too, see if he has any other ideas!" General Manager Chen continued.

"Since you predicted it, you must have given it a lot of thought!"

"Let's brainstorm and see if we can come up with any new ideas!"

"Besides, wasn't this Xiao Wang known for his risk aversion before?"

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll have a good talk with him when I get back!" Mr. Li said.

"Okay, that's settled then!" With that, General Manager Chen stood up, announced the meeting adjourned, and everyone left.

After returning home, President Li continued to discuss these matters with Wang Wenbo, but they didn't say anything more about the transfer.

However, Wang Wenbo still went to visit the people he was supposed to visit, one by one.

A month later, Wang Wenbo finally received a call from the Organization Department, who discussed the matter with him.

Wang Wenbo's whereabouts have been confirmed: he will be a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Governor of Handong Province!

Upon receiving the news, Wang Wenbo couldn't help but clench his fist. Had he taken another step forward?

Previously, he was just an ordinary deputy minister, one of the lowest-ranking deputy ministers.

But now, being able to become a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee means that he has reached the middle level, or even the upper-middle level.

If we can go further and reach the executive level, or the five-person group, then we can be considered true upper management. I just don't know how long this process will take.

Moreover, after receiving the information, Wang Wenbo investigated the situation in Handong Province.

The provincial governor is retiring, so presumably the rest of the officials will also be reassigned.

Gao Yuliang's situation is still unclear, but at least one position should be freed up.

The provincial party secretary is usually transferred from outside the province, while the provincial governor is generally not transferred from outside.

The executive vice governor is now in his fifties and has been in this position for four years.

Judging by the timeline, he is qualified to advance further; however, within this province, examples of someone becoming governor in one fell swoop are extremely rare.

Becoming a deputy secretary would be more normal, but the current deputy secretary is Gao Yuliang.

Moreover, Uncle Gao's position is being eyed by someone, and they're practically green with envy.

From this perspective, it seems necessary to plan carefully and open up a path for advancement.

How exactly it will rise remains to be seen, depending on how things develop.

However, the position of executive vice governor is a must-be promoted. If he doesn't get promoted, how can I get promoted? If I can't get promoted, how can I advance in my career?

If you fall behind at one step, you'll fall behind at every step. Now is the most crucial time for me. If I delay for a few years, I'll be retired by then. How can I make progress then?

At the very least, we should set him a small goal: to become a deputy secretary before he turns fifty.

In that case, there's a high chance that I'll be able to enter politics and call myself a leader in the future.
