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

All eyes turned to them.

Inside the provincial procuratorate area, Ji Changming looked down at the documents, his face tense.

Damn it...

Stinky monkey!

You actually dare to criticize the boss at a meeting like this...

The best thing would be for the boss to fire you, you bastard!

Chen Hai was wronged to be demoted, but you wouldn't be wronged even if you were demoted to a junior staff member!

at this time.

Everyone looked at the empty seats.

Hou Liangping's nameplate was placed there.

The person didn't come.

Su Zhe continued, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the position of Comrade Hou Liangping, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Higher People's Procuratorate."

Sha Ruijin looked down at the audience.

Zhou Qing, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee.

"Comrade Zhou Qing, Comrade Hou Liangping is not on the list of those requesting leave. What's going on with his absence?"

"Secretary Sha, I'll verify it right away."

Then.

Zhou Qing quickly got up and walked to the conference room next door.

After a while.

Zhou Qing walked to Sha Ruijin's side.

"Secretary Sha, Comrade Hou Liangping did not ask for leave or report the reason for his absence. Our meeting staff contacted Hou Liangping three times, five minutes before the meeting and after the meeting, but he did not answer the phone. Oh, yesterday, the staff from the Anti-Corruption Bureau did call and asked them to move Comrade Hou Liangping's name card to a more secluded place."

Sha Ruijin's expression changed.

Whispers began to rise from the audience.

Gao Yuliang sat on the platform, frowning.

He then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Li Dakang sat in the audience in the Jingzhou area, glanced up, then looked down and flipped through the materials.

Tian Guofu glanced at Su Zhe, then at Sha Ruijin, his smile calm and serene.

Xu Ming, the head of the inspection team, remained calm, put his pen on the table, and glanced at Su Zhe beside him.

Su Zhe slowly began, "Secretary Sha, today's meeting is a mobilization meeting for the province-wide anti-corruption work organized by the Handong Provincial Party Committee, and it is also an important arrangement for the special governance work of the inspection team to be carried out in Handong."

"Comrade Hou Liangping had just taken office as the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial High People's Procuratorate. As the main person in charge of anti-corruption work in the procuratorial system, he deliberately missed the meeting without asking for leave or giving a reason."

"I want to ask, is it acceptable to disregard meeting etiquette and discipline and be absent without permission from such an important meeting?"

The auditorium fell silent.

Sha Ruijin picked up the microphone.

"Team Leader Su, I just learned about this myself. The Provincial Party Committee Office and the Provincial Higher People's Procuratorate need to verify it immediately."

Su Zhe said, "Of course we need to verify. But the nameplate is there, but he's not. His name isn't on the leave list. The facts are already laid out in the meeting room. Now, can we conclude that Comrade Hou Liangping violated meeting discipline?"

Ji Changming couldn't sit still any longer.

He stood up.

"Secretary Sha, Team Leader Xu, Team Leader Su, as the Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial High People's Procuratorate, I bear management responsibility for Comrade Hou Liangping's unexcused absence from the meeting. I will immediately verify the situation after the meeting and provide an explanation to the Provincial Party Committee and the inspection team."

Su Zhe looked at Ji Changming.

"Chief Prosecutor Ji, Comrade Hou Liangping is a cadre who was recently transferred from the Supreme People's Procuratorate to Handong. He came to Handong to strengthen the anti-corruption force, not to seek special treatment. Cadres like him should take the lead in abiding by discipline. Don't you agree?"

Ji Changming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Team Leader Su's criticism is correct."

Su Zhe then looked at Sha Ruijin.

"Secretary Sha, you just emphasized that meeting style and discipline are a window into one's work style. I completely agree."

"A newly appointed anti-corruption bureau chief dares to skip the very first provincial anti-corruption mobilization meeting without a valid reason. What will the lower-level cadres think? Won't they think the anti-corruption meeting is just a formality? How can we believe that a leading cadre who doesn't even abide by organizational discipline and rules can lead the anti-corruption work in Handong Province?"

Sha Ruijin stopped holding the pen.

He knew that Su Zhe was escalating the issue.

Next, it's time to chop people up.

But this issue can be raised.

There was indeed no reason for Hou Liangping's absence.

If this isn't addressed today, all the talk about meeting etiquette and discipline will become empty words.

This Hou Liangping!

Isn't that going too far?

Even if you are a member of the Zhong family, you are still just a son-in-law!

We're both sons-in-law, but even though I'm a provincial party secretary, I'm not as presumptuous as you!

During their previous conversation, Sha Ruijin had expressed some dissatisfaction with Hou Liangping's attitude.

Now they've done this again.

They're beyond just being clueless.

Sha Ruijin knew that this was simply someone who was used to being arrogant and domineering!

He had been handling cases in Beijing, holding the title of Anti-Corruption Bureau, and had the protection and support of the bureau chief.

Hou Liangping's behavior at this moment was exactly like that of a spoiled child.

of course.

In Beijing's elite circles, there are quite a few children like this.

Therefore, such people should either be relegated to the business world.

Or, he would be kept in Yanjing and never allowed to leave.

Otherwise, it would be too much trouble for the family.

I don't know what the Zhong family was thinking, releasing such an exceptional individual.

In this situation, I can't save it either!

Do whatever the Chung family wants...

Thinking about this...

Sha Ruijin spoke up: "Team Leader Su, this matter is indeed serious. The Provincial Committee will handle it seriously."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming smiled.

Should this be dealt with seriously?

Saying such things at this time is nothing short of a punishment.

Su Zhe was also very dissatisfied upon hearing this.

When Old Sun first set himself down, he wanted to become a sharp sword to punish evil and wickedness.

Now, when facing a guy like Hou Liangping, we have to strike hard.

Of course, it was mainly because of the little grudge between Su Zhe and him that Su Zhe wanted to teach him a lesson!

after all...

This guy snatched Zhao Dehan from his team.

I didn't even see the spectacular sight of money hidden in the refrigerator and a wall full of money!

Su Zhe looked at Sha Ruijin and pressed on relentlessly.

"Secretary Sha, regarding such a blatant violation of discipline, I suggest that the principles for handling this matter be clearly defined on the spot. After the meeting, the Provincial High Procuratorate, together with the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, should verify the specific circumstances and make a final decision! This can be considered a special education and warning for the comrades attending this conference! At the same time, it will further demonstrate our sincerity and determination in fighting corruption and enforcing discipline in Handong! What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin remained silent for a moment.

I said, what can I say? You've already put me on the hot seat, how can I possibly say no?

A deputy director-level official...

At 28 years old, he's managed to hold onto his position as a deputy director-general!

The saying "the younger generation is to be feared" perfectly describes this kind of person...

Sha Ruijin looked at Tian Guofu and said calmly, "I agree with Deputy Group Leader Su Zhe's opinion in principle. Comrade Guofu, what do you think?"

Tian Guofu immediately responded.

"Secretary Sha, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection can intervene and investigate. His unexcused absence from an important provincial party committee meeting violates meeting discipline and organizational discipline, and should indeed be dealt with seriously."

Sha Ruijin nodded

"Alright. Comrade Guofu, after the meeting, your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, with the cooperation of the Provincial Higher People's Procuratorate and the Provincial Party Committee General Office providing the meeting minutes, will conduct an investigation into Comrade Hou Liangping's unexcused absence from the meeting!"

Su Zhe said, "Secretary Sha, let me add something. Comrade Hou Liangping is currently serving as the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Higher People's Procuratorate. This position is special and has a great impact. The punishment cannot be light."
