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

Every time I watch it, my heart sinks a little deeper.

He was removed from his post as director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

A serious warning was issued.

He was demoted to the rank of division chief.

A few lines of text cut out a large portion of his resume over the years.

The office door was pushed open.

Ji Changming walked in.

Chen Hai stood up.

Quarterly inspection.

Seeing his appearance, Ji Changming sighed.

"Please sit down."

Chen Hai did not sit down.

"I saw the disciplinary action."

Ji Changming paused for a moment.

"The organization's decision has been made. What you need to do now is obey."

Chen Hai raised his head, his voice a little hoarse.

"Ji Jian, didn't you say it was a reprimand? How come it changed in just a few hours?"

Ji Changming did not hide anything.

"There's nothing we can do... At the provincial party committee standing committee meeting today, the inspection team even brought up Elder Sun's instructions... Even Secretary Sha couldn't withstand it! Sigh!"

Chen Hai held the document between his fingers, folding the edges of the paper.

"Why is this inspection team targeting such an honest person like me? Is it really necessary to keep making things difficult for me?"

Ji Changming shook his head.

"Don't say that. The disciplinary action was taken by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and approved by the Provincial Party Committee; the inspection team only made a suggestion..."

Chen Hai gave a wry smile.

"Inspector Ji, do you believe what you're saying?"

Ji Changming did not answer.

He patted Chen Hai on the shoulder.

"Chen Hai, listen to me. Don't cause trouble now, don't go looking for people, and don't provoke the inspection team. You also need to persuade your father to stop! I've heard that your father has been a troublemaker in Handong for years... every government office is afraid of him. But if he goes to the inspection team and causes trouble... it won't just affect himself, but also the reputation of our provincial procuratorate and even the provincial party committee... You must persuade him to stop!"

Chen Hai nodded bitterly.

"Yes... it's a quarterly inspection, I'll do my best!"

Ji Changming sighed.

"I know, I'm sorry you had to suffer... that wicked monkey! I heard he even got promoted... Where can we find justice? It's true what they say, having connections in high places makes it easy to get ahead... Sigh!"

the other side.

Hearing this, Chen Hai felt even worse.

So what if he married Zhong Xiaoai?

If I had known back then that Zhong Xiaoai was the daughter of the Zhong family, I would have fought you, you monkey, for her no matter what...

He picked up the disciplinary decision and stuffed it into his bag.

"Then I'll go home first..."

He had just reached the door when Ji Changming called him back.

"Chen Hai".

Chen Hai turned around.

Ji Changming lowered his voice.

"Admitting defeat this time isn't shameful. If we really angered the inspection team, it wouldn't just be a matter of being demoted... Everything must be considered politically, understand?"

Chen Hai didn't say anything, opened the door and went out.

......

Nursing home.

Zheng Xipo sat on the veranda, holding an enamel cup in his hand, his face full of sorrow.

The situation at Dafeng Factory has escalated even further in the past two days.

A lot of people came to the factory area. They said they were a construction team, but they were all big and strong. They stood at the gate smoking and blocking the road.

A female worker from the factory went to buy groceries and was followed the whole way.

Several young employees were so angry that they almost came to blows with the other party.

Zheng Xipo, who has served as the chairman of the trade union for so many years, is most afraid of employees being pushed to the brink.

If a fight breaks out, the workers will be the ones who suffer in the end.

He went to the city and the district, submitting stacks of documents.

The answers are always pretty much the same.

"Under investigation."

"Coordinate in accordance with the law."

"Awaiting further instructions."

By now, the other party's bulldozers are almost at the factory gate.

不 ...

They've secretly driven in several times.

However, they were all pushed back by the factory protection team.

To be honest, these thugs from the demolition team are cowards; they're just a few hundred workers.

They were all scared away on the spot!

Zheng Xipo looked at Chen Yanshi and couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Chen, you know, in this world, workers who invested in factories inexplicably lose their shares, and in the end, they can't even keep the factory. Who can we turn to?"

Chen Yanshi was sitting next to him, peeling peanuts.

He looked up when he heard this.

"Didn't you say you were going to find the inspection team?"

Zheng Xipo nodded.

"Yes. The central inspection team is here, they should at least do something about it, right? We're preparing to write a report and submit it tomorrow."

Chen Yanshi smiled.

"Old Zheng, this is what you call ignoring the real Buddha right in front of you and insisting on worshipping a fake one."

Zheng Xipo was stunned.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Yanshi tossed the peanut shells into a small bowl next to him.

"What is the purpose of the inspection team? Inspections are there to discover and identify problems. Can they help you get the land back? Can they help you clarify shareholding? Can they drive away the construction team? In the end, aren't the people from the provincial party committee, the provincial government, and the municipal party committee and government the ones who actually get things done?"

Zheng Xipo was somewhat embarrassed.

"But we've already looked in all these places. We couldn't even get through to Secretary Li Dakang. And the district level is even worse; they just push us away as soon as they hear about Dafeng Factory. We even submitted materials to the province, but they were always sent back to Jingzhou in the end."

Chen Yanshi waved his hand.

Just because it was useless before doesn't mean it's useless now.

Zheng Xipo understood the implication and leaned forward.

"Mr. Chen, do you have a solution?"

Chen Yanshi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"This kind of thing, if you find the right person, it's just a matter of a word."

Zheng Xipo's heart skipped a beat.

Who is it?

Chen Yanshi lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his smugness.

"Little Gold".

Zheng Xipo blinked.

Who is Xiao Jinzi?

Chen Yanshi put down his teacup.

"The current provincial party secretary is Sha Ruijin."

Zheng Xipo almost dropped his cup.

"The provincial party secretary?"

"right."

Chen Yanshi chuckled and sat up a little straighter.

"When he was a child, a few of my old comrades and I helped him financially. We took care of his meals, schooling, and living expenses. He used to call me Uncle Chen."

Zheng Xipo was dumbfounded.

He only knew Chen Yanshi as a senior chief prosecutor, with a long tenure and a stubborn temper.

But he didn't expect that Chen Yanshi had this kind of relationship with the newly arrived provincial party secretary.

Zheng Xipo couldn't help but ask, "Old Chen, are you serious? You're not joking, are you?"

Chen Yanshi laughed and said, "Would I lie to you about something like this? Let me tell you, a while ago, my son Chen Hai almost got punished by the central inspection team for something! After that, I called Xiao Jinzi and smoothed things over! Look, we even have our call records..."

As he spoke, Chen Yanshi showed his phone to Zheng Xipo.

Chen Yanshi laughed, "This is my phone call record with Xiao Jinzi! Back then, I gave Xiao Jinzi a good scolding, and Chen Hai is not only unharmed this time, but he's also going to be promoted to Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial High Procuratorate! He'll be taking over my position!"

There was indeed a number on the phone screen.

The note reads "Little Gold".

The call lasted quite a while.

Zheng Xipo was truly convinced this time.

"Mr. Chen, you're amazing. Could you please put in a good word for us about the Dafeng Factory?"

Chen Yanshi patted his chest.

"Why can't we do this? The workers of Dafeng Factory are just ordinary people. If they are wronged, who will care if the provincial party secretary doesn't care? I'll talk to Xiao Jinzi and ask him to give you justice."
