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

Sha Ruijin saw the construction progress and pictures of the shantytown; the entire project there had been terminated.

As you can see, the living conditions here are very poor. The buildings were already dilapidated, and now they are even more so. There are many illegally constructed houses made of corrugated steel sheets on the ground floor. In addition, there are former construction sites next to it, which are now overgrown with shrubs and grass, making the area a wasteland.

The steel bars and building materials that were originally installed have begun to rust.

"How can this be allowed! The lives of the people are the foundation of our political achievements. How can we allow the people to live in such dire straits?"

"I will give this matter careful consideration and handle it properly." Sha Ruijin frowned. This issue seemed to be a condition for Wang Zheng's defection, but he was also somewhat angry. A construction site had been shut down for eight years.

When will those who were relocated be able to go home? This job has been suspended for eight years, and two terms haven't been able to resolve it!

How can one not be angry after all this?

The next day, Sha Ruijin followed Song Wandi on a thorough inspection. He saw this scene and felt that there was hardly anyone working in the entire Handong area. It was astonishing that such a construction site could be shut down for eight years.

Are all the people in Handong a bunch of insects?

How can you have a good political relationship with these people?

That afternoon, Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu set off back to Jingzhou and informed the Standing Committee members through Secretary Bai that they wanted to convene a Standing Committee meeting.

Sha Ruijin felt he had gathered enough information to convene this Standing Committee meeting. In this first meeting, he wanted to demonstrate his authority and establish his prestige.

That evening, Wang Zheng went to see Sha Ruijin. The Standing Committee members lived together, so you could say they were very close to each other, and there were countless spies around.

Can't I go to report on my work during the day? Why do I have to go at night? Going during the day might be a routine matter or just a gesture, but going at night is different.

There may be people who have been bought off by foreign forces, as well as members of the provincial party committee standing committee, and even people who pay attention to what time the lights are turned off every night.

Every trace and sign can be analyzed and interpreted. While celebrities can act out their roles on set or other public occasions and have their own private lives, officials must be careful at all times, including with their families.

That's why they say first-rate actors are in government, second-rate actors are in business, and third-rate actors are on the stage.

Liu Changsheng naturally knew that the Party Secretary of Qingcheng City had gone to report to Sha Ruijin, and that Wang Zheng had also gone there, and that many members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee were also paying attention.

He made a phone call to Gao Yuliang: "Yuliang, Wang Zhengzhi went to report to Secretary Sha. What do you think?"

"I can watch it sitting down, lying down, or even standing up if necessary. Besides, his leaning towards Sha Ruijin is a good thing for us!" Gao Yuliang was indifferent to Wang Zheng.

The other party is Liu Changsheng's man, and another thing is that the other party is not clean. Liu Changsheng is just old, not dead. If Liu Changsheng had lost his fighting spirit, he would turn a blind eye, but it's obvious he hasn't retired yet.

"Alright! I plan to prepare it slowly, I don't want to die so quickly." Liu Changsheng understood Gao Yuliang's meaning.

This traitor worked for his provincial government, so naturally he was the one to deal with him.

"There are organized crime members and weapons involved over there, so just be careful."

That night, many members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee did not sleep well, wondering what Wang Zheng and Sha Ruijin had discussed, and whether Sha Ruijin had announced the agenda for the Standing Committee meeting.

Nobody knows what will happen the next day, or who it will target.

9:20 a.m.

Gao Yuliang arrived at the conference room full of energy. He looked at the group of people who were somewhat listless, except for the energetic Governor Liu.

"Everyone should pay attention to resting on weekdays. How can you manage if you're not in good spirits? You need to get some rest!" Gao Yuliang said with a smile, seemingly reminding the provincial party committee members.

"You really need to take care of your health. Only when you are healthy and in good spirits can you better serve the people!" Liu Changsheng added.

Li Dakang was worried that Sha Ruijin would use the Dafeng Factory incident to make a fuss! He was the one who was most worried. Moreover, Wang Zheng had gone to report to him. Who would be the governor next year?

Just as everyone was about to object, Sha Ruijin walked in, followed by Zuo Guofu, You Wangzheng, and a secretary named Bai.

Secretary Sha has only been here a short time, yet he already has three votes.

After everyone sat down, we started with the usual learning activities, taking notes from time to time, just to show our attitude.

After the course was completed, Sha Ruijin spoke.

"Over the past two weeks, I have traveled to various parts of Handong for inspections. I have witnessed the prosperity of Jingzhou and its rapid development, but I have also seen the constant problems of the Jingzhou Dafeng Factory."

"I also visited Luzhou, where I witnessed the hard work of tea farmers in the tea gardens, saw the polluted Crescent Lake, and also saw the stalled construction site in Qingcheng City..."

Sha Ruijin directly recounted what he had witnessed in Handong.

Is it still trying to create a pre-animation effect?

After Sha Ruijin finished recounting the entire area he had inspected, he said, "I haven't been in Handong for long, but I know that Handong is full of powerful factions!"

The phrase "numerous factions" doesn't refer to just two gangs, but rather a whole host of them, directly including the provincial standing committee members present.

Gao Yuliang quickly gestured, "Comrade Ruijin, are you mistaken? We're in Handong, not Bianxi. Handong is a plain area; there aren't any mountains here."

Upon hearing this, the Standing Committee members present smiled knowingly. Sha Ruijin was talking about politics, while Gao Yuliang was talking about geography. The professor truly lived up to his reputation!

Now that Gao Yuliang has clashed with Sha Ruijin, there's no need to worry about me.

Tian Guofu quickly chimed in, "Secretary Yuliang, you're mistaken. While Handong is geographically a plain, the 'mountains' you're referring to aren't geographical, but political. I've heard that Handong has its own 'Handong University clique' and 'Secretary clique'!"

"You're the leader of the Handong gang, aren't you going to explain yourself? And some people say that you, Gao Yuliang, actually had a high-speed rail line built right up to your village in Handong, and that your disciple Qi Tongwei's Qi Family Village has an annual output value of nearly 100 million yuan. Is that normal?"

A smile appeared on Gao Yuliang's face. He took a sip of tea slowly. This was not to admit defeat, but to soothe his throat. He could talk for half an hour later without any problem.

Everyone looked at Gao Yuliang, wanting to know how he would defend himself.

"Handong University Clique, I have a question. I have been in politics in Handong for nearly 30 years and I have never heard of any Handong University Clique or Secretary Clique. On the contrary, it was only after Secretary Guofu came that I became a member of the Handong University Clique."
