In name only, I, Gao Yuliang, will sink Handong at worst.

Sha Ruijin spoke up: "This Crescent Lake is severely polluted! And I heard that this Crescent Lake is a protected water source for Handong. How did it become like this?"

Yi Xuexi's face was full of resentment as he pointed at the food court and said, "More than 20 years ago, this place was not like this. The water of Moon Lake was clear and there was not much garbage. It was a beautiful place with clear water and green mountains. But it's different since the food court was built."

"The water quality in the entire Moon Lake is getting worse every day. There is still a lot of garbage floating around here. In my opinion, this food court should be shut down, and a number of food businesses in the surrounding area should be closed down in order to restore Moon Lake to its original state."

The food court definitely has to be closed, because it not only pollutes Crescent Lake, but it's also directly part of the Zhao family's business, which must be eliminated.

"I also support your decision to demolish this food court and restore the green mountains and clear waters to our Luzhou," Sha Ruijin said directly.

"Comrade Yi Xuexi, what do you think of the officialdom in Handong?" Sha Ruijin wanted to know Yi Xuexi's opinion on the officialdom in Handong.

After all, Yi Xuexi has lived in Handong for so many years and should know the whole area very well. If we can find out some things from an old Handong resident, it will be very easy. Let heroes investigate heroes, and good men investigate good men!

"Our officialdom in Handong used to be a complete mess, directly corrupted by Comrade Zhao Lichun."

Upon hearing Yi Xuexi's words, the two looked at him, hoping to glean some information from him.

"Tell me, why is our Handong Province such a mess?"

Yi Xuexi, as if a thoroughbred horse had met its discerning owner, began to recount the affairs of the officialdom in Handong: "Back in the 90s, we were all very hardworking. Our cars were generally Santanas, but Zhao Lichun got a Cadillac, making it seem like everyone knew that Zhao Lichun was rich."

"Later, in order to attract investment, many officials in Handong ate and drank with those businessmen, which went against our concept of hard work and struggle. Moreover, many of them went to Shanshui Manor to eat and drink. Who doesn't know that Shanshui Manor is owned by Zhao Lichun's son, Zhao Ruilong?"

"They took money from the businessmen and put it into their own sons' pockets, and those businessmen still came to Handong to make noise. I miss the old Handong; although it was poor, at least everyone shared the same goals and ideals."

Sha Ruijin nodded. Although he didn't know how Zhao Lichun had done it, it was definitely a direction he was heading in.

Then they began to discuss the provincial party committee in detail, and Yi Xuexi spoke about it without any reservations.

"Li Dakang! I admit he's quite capable in economic matters, but Li Dakang always makes his subordinates take the blame. You've seen him do this countless times, from Jinshan County to Lincheng, and now to Jingzhou."

"Gao Yuliang..."

Yi Xuexi gave a direct critique of the entire provincial party committee of Handong Province, concluding that none of them were any good.

As evening approached, the sun began to set in the west.

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu planned to visit Yi Xuexi's home for a while, actually because they wanted to learn more about the inside story of Handong.

Yi Xuexi made a phone call: "Mao Ya, are you home? Help me prepare a few dishes. I'm planning to invite some leaders over for a get-together."

When Sha Ruijin heard the name Mao Ya, he couldn't help but pause for a moment. Was it Mao Ya? Maybe it was Mao Ya, or Mao Ya?

But his thoughts couldn't help but drift away. When he went to the countryside, he met a girl named Mao Ya, who was the white moonlight in his heart.

They secretly got married and lived together for a while. Later, he returned to Beijing and wanted to bring her to Beijing, but his adoptive father disagreed, so they had to separate. He found someone to get Mao Ya a job as a saleswoman in a department store.

I have no idea where she is now. I can't possibly become Yi Xuexi's wife!

This person has small, squinty eyes with wide-set eyes, a flat, wide nose with a thick, everted lip, dark lips, and a perpetually downturned mouth, giving them a bitter, serious, and repressed look. Their forehead is narrow and short, covered with deep forehead wrinkles, making them appear old and fierce.

He was stocky and slightly hunched, wearing an old jacket with a wrinkled shirt underneath. Overall, he looked unsophisticated, simple, old-fashioned, and lacked any presence.

How can you compare yourself to yourself?

Whether in terms of official rank or appearance, no position can compare to Sha Ruijin's.

When Tian Guofu saw Sha Ruijin's appearance, he didn't think of anything. Moreover, Sha Ruijin had already restrained himself and seemed to be staring blankly at the lake. Who would think that there was such a relationship between the two?

Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Wang Guangming, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City, is discussing matters with other members of the Lüzhou City Party Committee!

As Wang Guangming recounted Gao Yuliang's plan, Mayor Lü Chaoxian of Lüzhou City spoke directly: "Did Secretary Yuliang really say that? Is it really that simple? Can we just say that Secretary Yuliang opposes the Lüzhou airport construction plan and get Secretary Sha's approval?"

He is Lü Chaoxian, not Lü Fengxian. He has a brain. Are the schemes in officialdom really that simple?

Luzhou is Gao Yuliang's base of operations. Even if he betrays him, would anyone believe him? Would anyone dare to believe him? No normal person would think that Luzhou would directly side with Sha Ruijin. Even if he did, they would still have to be wary.

"I've heard about it. Our new Party Secretary is no ordinary person! Not only does he have a powerful background, but he also invited Yi Xuexi to go boating on Crescent Lake today. Someone saw our Party Secretary inviting Yi Xuexi to go boating from afar."

Who is Yi Xuexi? Yi Xuexi served as a section chief in Lüzhou for nearly 20 years, holding numerous section chief positions in Lüzhou.

He has the ability, but not much. However, his understanding of Luzhou is more than enough. If Sha Ruijin sets his sights on Luzhou, he will relentlessly pursue and attack it.

Wang Guangming couldn't help but frown. Why did this secretary seem even more difficult to deal with than Secretary Yu Liang had described? They couldn't bring themselves to row a boat for Sha Ruijin.

They have a certain status, after all. At most, they'll just visit secretly later.

"Then what do you suggest we do? There are only a handful of opportunities for Luzhou to get an airport. Secretary Yuliang is willing to help us, but he can't get through to the higher-ups!" Wang Guangming frowned.

To build an airport, the relevant provincial government department submits an application for review to the local Civil Aviation Administration and provides 12 copies of the site selection report. The Civil Aviation Administration then submits its review opinion and 8 copies of the site selection report to the Civil Aviation Administration within 20 days.

This is still the simplest one.

In addition to this, we also need the approval of the air traffic control bureau from the military, as well as the approval of the State Council. There are also many other procedures involved.

Building an airport is not an easy task. Lu Zhou previously proposed that no funding from higher authorities be needed, as he would fund the construction himself, but the project still did not receive approval.

Of all the thirteen cities in the entire Handong region, only Luzhou has no airport, and this has become an obsession etched in the hearts of the people of Luzhou.

"Why don't we call Secretary Yuliang tonight and ask him for advice? He's our former leader, it's not unreasonable for us to ask him about things we don't understand!"

"It's not an exaggeration; it's been a while since I reported to my former boss."

Easy to learn at home.

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu followed Yi Xuexi to his home. A woman dressed in a gray-black knitted shirt, dressed simply and appropriately, with a virtuous and insightful demeanor, opened the door to greet them.

A flicker of horror flashed in Sha Ruijin's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Hello, leader!" Mao Ya didn't recognize Sha Ruijin. After all, a person's appearance changes a lot between their twenties and when they are almost sixty.

These two are obviously high-ranking leaders. Although they are both wearing jackets, you can tell that they are made of high-quality fabrics. My husband is wearing a tattered jacket, which is really old!

Instead, Tian Guofu greeted him with a smile: "Hello. You must be Comrade Yi Xuexi's wife! Comrade Xuexi, please introduce us."

Yi Xuexi began, "This is my beloved Mao Ya. The greatest fortune of my life is marrying my beloved Mao Ya."

"These two are the leaders I mentioned on the phone who appreciate me. They are also the upright officials of Handong: Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu."

Sha Ruijin extended his hand first: "Comrade Mao Ya, hello."

Mao Ya realized this too, but both of them were respectable people, and many years had passed. What would be the point of bringing up the past?

"Secretary Sha, hello."

"Secretary Tian, ​​hello." Mao Ya reached out and shook hands with the two of them.

"Please come in quickly, gentlemen! I've already prepared the meal."

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu entered the room. The house was well-lit, but there were many papers on the living room side and blueprints hanging behind them.

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu's attention were immediately drawn to it.
