Official excuse: I've put you on patrol in Handong, and the whole province is in a panic.

About two hours later, the plane began its descent.

Through the porthole, the outline of Jingzhou, the capital of Handong Province, can already be seen.

High-rise buildings stand tall, roads crisscross the area, creating a bustling scene.

The plane landed smoothly on the runway of Gyeongju International Airport and slowly taxied to the designated parking position.

However, as the plane came to a stop and the jet bridge docked, Su Zhe noticed some unusual details through the porthole.

The usually bustling entrance to the covered bridge was unusually quiet at this moment, with no other passengers in sight.

Behind the glass curtain wall of the terminal building in the distance, there seemed to be figures of people in uniforms moving about, vaguely forming a cordon.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The overly "clean" airport reception area made him instinctively uncomfortable.

The inspection team comes to do their work, not to put on airs, and certainly shouldn't disturb the people.

Xu Ming stood up and said calmly, "Let's go, comrades, we've arrived."

Su Zhe followed behind Xu Ming, and the group crossed the corridor bridge and headed towards the exit.

As soon as he stepped off the jet bridge and into the terminal building, the scene before him confirmed Su Zhe's guess.

The entire arrival hall area has been completely cleared and placed under lockdown.

Two rows of security personnel in black uniforms and white gloves stood with their backs to the passageway and their faces outwards, forming a tight human wall that completely separated this area from the rest of the airport.

In the distance, some passengers who had been stopped were curiously looking in this direction and whispering among themselves.

At the end of the passage, a large group of people stood in the dark, probably thirty or forty people.

Xu Ming looked at Su Zhe beside him, suddenly smiled, and said lightly, "Handong has really given us a grand show today! Su, you're from the Discipline Inspection Commission, the most professional. What do you think of Handong's arrangements?"

Su Zhe smiled upon hearing this.

"Sincerity gone, blatant disregard for the law! The spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation has been emphasized for so long, requiring simple travel, close contact with the masses, no excessive security, and minimal disturbance to the people! Handong's actions seem to be treating the directives from higher authorities as mere whispers in the wind!"

Hearing Su Zhe's words.

Xu Ming nodded, looking at Su Zhe with a meaningful gaze.

"You young people have such good memories! Now, please go and spread the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulation to them in Handong Province!"

Su Zhe was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Team Leader Xu's meaning is...

Is it about making yourself nitpick?

Then I thought about it again.

It's understandable to nitpick!

I came to Handong to find fault with things!

Old Master Sun had told me before that I shouldn't have any reservations when doing things!

In officialdom, it's best to be friendly and avoid offending others among colleagues.

But I came to Handong to overturn the table, and I did so at the request and encouragement of my superiors. So what am I worried about?

If Xu Ming hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have dared to overstep my bounds, but now that Team Leader Xu has spoken first, I have even more reason to do it!

Thinking about this...

Su Zhe smiled and said, "What the leader says is true!"

Xu Ming nodded.

"To put it bluntly, my role as team leader is to support you young people! Old Sun has high expectations for you, so be sure to step up when necessary!"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe understood.

Team Leader Xu is clearly grooming him...

He intentionally wanted to seize this opportunity to make a name for himself.

The saying "It's easier to get an official position if you have connections in the court" illustrates this point.

When you're taking the blame, it has nothing to do with you.

When there are benefits to be gained, the leader will insist on putting you on the job.

Zhao Dehan's case was handed over to that section chief surnamed Hou in the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The reason Team Leader Xu is asking me to step forward is also because of this...

......

at this time.

Leading cadres of the Party and government of Handong Province gathered at Jingzhou Lukou International Airport.

Former provincial party secretary Zhao Lichun has just been promoted to a deputy position in Yanjing.

The successor, Sha Ruijin, was still conducting research at the grassroots level when he came to the airport to welcome the inspection team.

Sha Ruijin stood at the exit of the VIP passage at Jingzhou International Airport, his gaze calmly sweeping over the somewhat empty waiting area that had been cleared out.

suddenly.

He said casually to Governor Liu Zhendong beside him, "The higher-ups are really paying attention to Handong! This time, in addition to arranging an inspection team, they've also attached a leading group for combating corruption! This is a coordinated effort between inspection and discipline inspection to address the political climate in Handong!"

He had only recently taken up his post in Handong and still carried with him a cautious temperament that viewed local work from a broader perspective.

In recent days, he has been conducting intensive research in various cities in Handong. He rushed back to Jingzhou in a hurry to welcome the fifth inspection team sent by the central government.

This is, in a way, a fine tradition of the cadres of Daxia.

When leading cadres first arrive in a new place, they must conduct research in the local area. This is so that they can become familiar with the local situation and personnel, which will facilitate their subsequent work and help them determine development strategies.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhendong immediately turned his attention away from the distant passageway and leaned towards Sha Ruijin, adopting a posture of attentive listening.

Seeing Liu Zhendong looking at him, Sha Ruijin continued, "Comrade Zhendong, I went down there for a walk this time and had some profound feelings about it."

Liu Zhendong smiled slightly.

He was a cadre who grew up in Handong and was extremely familiar with the province's situation. Naturally, he paid close attention when he heard the newly appointed provincial party secretary talk about his research experience.

"Secretary Sha, your research this time was extensive and in-depth, you must have discovered many things that we don't usually see or pay attention to."

Sha Ruijin sighed softly.

"Indeed, we have seen some unpleasant phenomena! Some local officials have problems with their mental state; some are lazy and negligent in their duties, just going through the motions and shirking responsibility for the problems raised by the masses; others are not focused on their work, spending all their time thinking about cultivating connections and finding loopholes, forming cliques. There are also serious deviations in the personnel selection criteria!"

In recent years, although Handong's economic indicators have improved, it has fallen far behind in terms of cadre team building and the purification of the political environment. The remaining problems are probably more complex than I imagined before I came here!

Liu Zhendong looked at Sha Ruijin with some suspicion in his heart.

Speaking of which, Tian Guofu, the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, was also a newly appointed cadre.

Rumors had long circulated within the province that there was a certain tacit understanding between the two.

Right now, the higher authorities have launched a "joint inspection and discipline inspection" campaign.

Perhaps they're also here to help Sha Ruijin reform the officialdom in Handong!

of course.

As a governor for many years, Liu Zhendong was well aware of the political legacy left by his predecessor, Zhao Lichun, in Handong.

If the above is serious...

This time, it seems a massive storm is about to break out in Handong!

Liu Zhendong nodded in agreement, his expression turning serious.

"Secretary Sha, the problems you pointed out do exist, and they are quite prominent in some areas. These problems didn't arise overnight! The central inspection team's arrival at this critical juncture, with its high-level personnel and the accompanying special working group for combating corruption, suggests they have ulterior motives!"
