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

But they have the Chung family backing them!

This is an open secret in Beijing's social circles.

Sha Ruijin also comes from the Beijing elite circle, so how could he not know these things?

Hou Liangping is most likely to be fine.

But the inspection team is pressing too hard, what can I do?

That young man named Su Zhe left absolutely no room for maneuver!

However, Sha Ruijin's situation is somewhat strange.

How could Su Zhe, at such a young age, be so bold?

And on what basis did he get the important positions of deputy head of the inspection team and head of the anti-corruption leading group?

Is he also part of the Beijing elite circle?

That shouldn't be the case...

I've never even heard of this person!

I've never heard of him being anyone's son-in-law...

Sha Ruijin said helplessly to Chen Yanshi, "Uncle Chen, please listen to me. This isn't something I can decide alone. The central inspection team..."

"I don't care about any inspection team! I only care about one thing—did Chen Hai leak secrets? Did he commit any subjective wrongdoing? If not, on what grounds are you dismissing him?"

Sha Ruijin swallowed.

"Uncle Chen, I can't directly reject the inspection team's opinions... When it's appropriate to respect them, the provincial party committee must do so."

"Little Jinzi!" Chen Yanshi's voice suddenly lowered. "I know you've always been very capable over the years, and I'm proud of you for getting to where you are today. This time, see if you can clear Chen Hai's name. You have to stand up for your brother!"

There was silence on both ends of the phone call.

Sha Ruijin stood by the office window, phone to his ear, eyes closed.

"Uncle Chen..."

Sha Ruijin's voice sounded somewhat hoarse.

"Don't worry. I'll coordinate with Comrade Tian Guofu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and try to handle this flexibly, so that Chen Hai won't suffer any major injustice."

"What does 'as much as possible' mean? What does 'flexible' mean? What I want is to be completely innocent!"

"Okay...okay, I'll try my best. Uncle Chen, please take care of yourself, I'll think of something!"

I hung up the phone.

Chen Yanshi looked at Chen Hai with a slight sense of smugness.

"See that? With Little Gold taking action, your matter is nothing!"

Chen Hai said with some worry, "But the decision to dismiss him has already been made..."

Chen Yanshi said nonchalantly, "Then I'll change your position! You're a deputy director-general now, why not just become the deputy chief prosecutor? In a few years, you can take over from your father and become the executive deputy chief prosecutor! I've never become a deputy provincial-level official in my life, maybe you'll have that opportunity!"

Upon hearing Chen Yanshi's words, Chen Hai suddenly sighed.

"Dad, when I was little, my sister begged you to find a way to transfer Qi Tongwei back from the countryside. You said back then that you would never violate your principles or abuse your power for personal gain... How come you're willing to beg others for my sake now..."

Chen Yanshi glared at Chen Hai.

"Can Qi Tongwei be compared to you? Let me tell you, I never liked that kid in the first place! His eyes are too bright! His ambition is too great! He's not suitable to be your sister's boyfriend, understand? If Chen Yang marries Qi Tongwei, my reputation for half my life will be ruined because of all the effort I put into getting him a government position!"

Besides, I inquired about Qi Tongwei's situation before. Do you know who assigned Qi Tongwei to the township judicial office? It was Liang Qunfeng, the then Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission! I don't know the specifics of their feud, but could I easily overturn something personally assigned by the Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission? Was it worth it for someone like that?

Your sister was later transferred to Yanjing, all thanks to my efforts! Isn't she doing well now? Why did she have to get involved with that Qi Tongwei!

Chen Hai sighed helplessly.

"But my sister still hasn't resolved her inner conflict..."

Chen Yanshi snorted, "If you can't solve it, then don't! As her father, I've always been true to her!"

......

the other side.

Sha Ruijin stood by the window for a long time.

He didn't attend the meeting and had his secretary notify him that it was postponed.

He sat back down behind his desk, picked up the internal phone, and dialed a number.

"Comrade Guofu, come to my office for a moment, I need to discuss something with you."

......

Ten minutes later, Tian Guofu, the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, pushed open the door and entered with a smile on his face.

Sha Ruijin first spoke in a bureaucratic tone, affirming the Discipline Inspection Commission's "rigorous attitude" and "determination to uphold the law" in handling the Ding Yizhen case, before changing the subject.

"Comrade Guofu, look at Chen Hai's case. From a holistic perspective, hasn't his responsibility been exaggerated? The root cause was Hou Liangping's improper command; Chen Hai merely passively expanded the scope of his knowledge during the process of seeking instructions and reporting. Can this be considered his subjective fault?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu was slightly taken aback.

"Secretary Sha, wasn't this disciplinary action given by the inspection team? The five-person group meeting also agreed and passed it..."

Sha Ruijin said calmly, "Not all decisions made at meetings are irreversible. We still need to be realistic... What do you think?"

Having been in officialdom for so many years, Tian Guofu immediately realized what was going on.

Is Secretary Sha trying to reduce Chen Hai's punishment?

He leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful.

"Secretary Sha, now that you mention it, I do feel it's necessary to re-examine this case... So, whatever your decision, that's what our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will do! Rest assured, the interpretation of the disciplinary regulations rests with me!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin looked at Tian Guofu and smiled with satisfaction.

In fact, both he and Tian Guofu were parachuted into Handong.

In many cases, compared to local figures like Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang, they tend to stick together for mutual support.

Now that Tian Guofu is so supportive of my work.

Sha Ruijin was naturally pleased.

He nodded and said, "In my opinion, we shouldn't punish Chen Hai! He's already been dismissed, which is a severe punishment. Let's just give him a reprimand, a warning, and leave him with the opportunity to be reassigned. What do you think?"

Tian Guofu laughed and said, "Great! Secretary Sha, that's a good idea. This way, we can explain things to Chen Hai, and it also makes sense to the inspection team—after all, something has been done, just handled in a more flexible way..."

Sha Ruijin smiled.

"Alright! Let's do it that way! Your provincial discipline inspection commission should come up with a plan as soon as possible!"

Tian Guofu nodded repeatedly, indicating his approval.

The two hit it off immediately, and the meeting ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

After seeing Tian Guofu off, Sha Ruijin immediately dialed Chen Yanshi's number.

"Uncle Chen, I've coordinated with Comrade Guofu. The outcome for Chen Hai has been decided—a reprimand, but no disciplinary action. Furthermore, I'm planning to transfer him to the position of Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial High People's Procuratorate. What do you think?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yanshi's barely suppressed joy was immediately heard.

"Good, good, good! Little Jinzi, you've really given Uncle Chen a wonderful surprise!"
