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

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Su Zhe.

Sha Ruijin frowned and looked at Su Zhe.

at this time.

Su Zhecai then sensed the aura of this powerful regional official.

Just one look from him was enough to put me under immense pressure.

However, I have experienced Mr. Sun's aura.

Su Zhe was able to handle the pressure that Sha Ruijin was under.

Looking at the group of provincial and ministerial-level officials before him, he said loudly: "Distinguished leaders, the spirit of the Central Committee's Eight-Point Regulation has always required that, whether conducting research in various places or on working visits abroad, we must maintain a style of close contact with the masses, travel light and simply, not exceed the standard of security, and even less easily disturb the people!"

This scene, however, deeply unsettled us!

talking.

Su Zhe raised his hand and pointed to the security personnel standing with their backs to him, forming a human wall, and the ordinary passengers in the distance who were blocked outside and looking this way.

"Distinguished leaders, what is the purpose of our central inspection team's visit to Handong? Inspection work is an important platform for building a clean government and fighting corruption. It aims to promote the implementation of the spirit of the Central Committee's Eight-Point Regulation in local areas and undertakes the mission of discovering and resolving problems! Now, as the deputy head of the inspection team and the head of the anti-corruption work leading group, I can responsibly say that problems have already emerged in Handong's work!"

He paused for a moment, letting the weight of his words sink in.

The scene was completely silent; even the distant chatter of travelers seemed to have subsided.

All eyes of the welcoming staff were focused on the young deputy team leader.

"The scene of clearing the area, imposing martial law, and layers of security is a typical violation of the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulation! It's a serious manifestation of being out of touch with the masses! Our inspection team is here to work, not to put on airs and disturb the people! This kind of reception beyond what is expected is bureaucracy, a smear on our work, not some kind of preferential treatment!"

Hearing Su Zhe's words.

The faces of the leaders of Handong Province present instantly turned ashen.

Sha Ruijin frowned deeply, glancing behind him.

Xu Ming looked at Su Zhe with admiration.

This young man, only 28 years old this year, showed no fear in such a grand setting and was able to bravely express his opinions.

That's truly rare!

Su Zhe said loudly, "I demand that Handong Province immediately rectify the situation! First, issue a public apology to the passengers and members of the public whose normal travel has been disrupted and delayed because of our arrival! Second, immediately lift all unnecessary security measures and restore normal public order at the airport! Third, immediately take remedial measures and do a good job of explaining the situation; we must not allow any negative public opinion to arise because of this reception problem!"

I don't want our inspection team's arrival to leave the people of Handong with the terrible impression that "officials have arrived!" This goes against the original purpose of our inspection work and damages the image of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government!

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin's face darkened completely, and he glanced at Qi Tongwei, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who was standing not far behind him.

"Director Qi, could you come here for a moment?"

Qi Tongwei's heart skipped a beat the moment Su Zhe began to criticize him, and he had been closely watching what was happening here.

Upon hearing Sha Ruijin call his name, he immediately jogged over, stood ramrod straight in front of Sha Ruijin, and saluted: "Secretary Sha!"

Sha Ruijin's cold gaze fell on Qi Tongwei's face.

"Director Qi, what's going on with today's security arrangements? The central government has repeatedly ordered that we travel light and avoid disturbing the public, so why is there such a large-scale clearing and martial law? Who made this decision? Why are your provincial department's security plans and standards set so high?"

Qi Tongwei looked somewhat embarrassed as he was questioned.

He sighed inwardly.

Luckily, I had already found someone to take the blame.

He quickly explained, "Secretary Sha, our provincial department does bear some responsibility for this matter; our supervision was inadequate. However, the specific implementation of today's security and reception arrangements for the inspection team leaders was not directly organized by our provincial public security department."

According to regulations, the authority and primary execution of security work for provincial and ministerial-level leaders in provincial capital cities rests with the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. Our provincial department had previously sent a letter to the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau, emphasizing the principle of "safety first" and reminding them to pay attention to their methods. It's possible that the municipal bureau misunderstood and misinterpreted this...

His words completely absolved him and the provincial department of any responsibility, shifting all the blame to the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

It acknowledged the abstract responsibility of "ineffective supervision" while emphasizing that the specific operation was the responsibility of the municipal bureau, and that the provincial department was only providing reminders, indicating that the municipal bureau had "misunderstood" the situation.

Standing behind Sha Ruijin, Gao Yuliang, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, listened with a blank expression.

When he heard Qi Tongwei's obvious attempt to shirk responsibility, he immediately frowned.

"Director Qi! Secretary Sha is asking you a question; you need to correct your attitude! As the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, you bear primary leadership responsibility for the province's public security work, and even more direct guidance and supervision responsibility for the public security work in the provincial capital! How can you shirk all responsibility and push all the problems onto the Municipal Bureau? Doesn't the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department bear any responsibility if there are problems with the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau's work? This attitude of trying to absolve oneself of responsibility when something happens is very problematic!"

Qi Tongwei was publicly reprimanded by Gao Yuliang, and his face immediately fell. He subconsciously tried to defend himself, saying, "Teacher Gao... I..."

Gao Yuliang interrupted him sharply.

"Shut up! How many times have I told you?! When you're at work, use your job title! There's no 'Teacher Gao' here!"

Gao Yuliang finished speaking.

A subtle smile appeared on the faces of Sha Ruijin, Li Dakang, and others.

Han University gang...

It really exists!

This happened so many years ago, and the two of them are still acting all lovey-dovey like teachers and classmates!

Qi Tongwei suddenly realized what he had said and quickly changed his tune.

"Yes, Secretary Gao! I apologize. What I mean is that the specific plan and execution of this security operation were indeed mainly the responsibility of the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau, while our Provincial Department mainly provided macro-level guidance. Of course, we certainly bear responsibility for our inadequate guidance..."

Although he changed his tune, his core message was still to place the primary responsibility on the municipal bureau.

Gao Yuliang sighed softly.

Somewhat disappointed.

Just then, Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, stepped forward.

He looked at Sha Ruijin and said sincerely, "Secretary Sha, you don't need to ask anymore, the responsibility is very clear! The main responsibility for this matter lies with our Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government, and with me, Li Dakang! It is because we failed to educate our cadres properly, did not have a deep and thorough understanding of the policies, and compromised, distorted, and deviated from the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation!"

This kind of formalistic and bureaucratic pomp and circumstance disrupted the normal travel of the public, negatively impacted the work of the inspection team, and tarnished the reputation of the Provincial Party Committee! I sincerely apologize to you, and to Team Leader Xu, Team Leader Su, and all the comrades of the inspection team!
