Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

"Mayor Tang's suggestion is based on long-term considerations."

Just then, Lu Feng, who was sitting in the head seat, suddenly spoke up: "In this incident, the public security system's response speed definitely has room for improvement."

"But speaking objectively, I have a few words to say about how this incident was handled."

"Comrade Hong Zhan arrived at the command center immediately after the incident. I personally witnessed the city's police force complete the lockdown deployment within 15 minutes."

Hong Zhan turned his head sharply and looked at Lu Feng, who was speaking. His cold heart felt as if a warm current had been injected into it, and it started pounding again.

Lu Feng didn't look at him, but instead scanned everyone present, his tone calm and steady:

"All the outer intersections were sealed off, so that not a single rioter could escape. The armed police were the fists, and the public security officers were the iron net. The fists struck the criminals, and the iron net contained the entire situation."

"It's true that the rioters were subdued by the armed police, but what if they had escaped from the residential compound without the police's perimeter control?"

"This battle was fought by everyone together. Comrade Hongzhan, you've worked hard."

Hong Zhan understood perfectly; every word was clear to him. The secretary was giving him a way out.

They said he did not abandon his post, did not react slowly, and was not idle; rather, he coordinated and directed the city-wide lockdown while the armed police were arresting people.

This is a difference in tactical division of labor, not a matter of superior or inferior ability.

As for the last sentence, it reinterprets the fact that "the armed police subdued the rioters," which is most unfavorable to the public security, as the result of coordinated operations.

He was exercising his power as the top leader, redefining the nature of the incident, turning "slow police response" into "multi-agency collaboration and multi-dimensional containment."

This is the support Hong Zhan needs most right now.

He never expected that the Party Secretary would lend a helping hand at this crucial moment, when he was most isolated and helpless.

As soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, the municipal leaders began to hand in their papers.

He Xiangyang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, chimed in: "Let me add a couple of points. What I'm most worried about in this incident is not anything else, but the mental state of the police officers on the front lines."

"Faced with armed thugs, they withstood the pressure and completed their mission."

"I suggest that the Municipal Party Committee's Publicity Department and the Public Security Bureau's Political Department work together to identify positive role models in this operation, conduct effective publicity and guidance, and protect the morale of the officers. A team capable of fighting tough battles must not be allowed to suffer both hardship and disheartening setbacks."

Zhou Xiang, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, then said with a smile, "I also agree with the secretary's judgment. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, Comrade Hong Zhan's on-site command in the critical moment was effective."

"The location chosen by the rioters was very sensitive, but our public security force withstood the test both psychologically and tactically."

"What we should do is not simply assign blame, but rather summarize the successful experience of this joint military-police-civilian effort as soon as possible and formulate it into a more comprehensive contingency plan."

"Holding people accountable when problems arise is lazy governance; summarizing lessons learned when problems arise is true governance."

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Guo Shengli nodded: "The fact that this incident was quickly quelled and did not cause greater social panic shows that our cadres are reliable in critical moments."

"In my opinion, the most important task at present is not to investigate accountability, but to follow the secretary's instructions and do a good job in maintaining stability and managing public opinion."

"Holding people accountable is like settling scores later; what's more important now is to handle the immediate issues thoroughly."

The members of the municipal government leadership team all looked at Tang Lijun, waiting for him to speak.

The scene was quiet, and no one interrupted.

Tang Lijun smiled, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly, "Secretary Lu is right. This is a battle we all have to fight together. The armed police are charging on the front lines, and the public security officers are controlling key points. Both are very important."

"My suggestion regarding security investment is not directed at anyone in particular, but rather to encourage us to learn from this experience and address our shortcomings. After the meeting, please have Director Hung submit a specific rectification plan as soon as possible, based on the meeting's requirements."

He gave up Hong Zhan for the sake of his own political career.

Now that the Party Secretary wants to protect the flood control efforts, he naturally won't question it.

If we were to confront the Party Secretary over this matter, the cost would be too high, and the benefits would be almost zero.

If things really come to a head, and Lu Feng tries to sow discord between him at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting, his life won't be easy either.

His occasional disagreements with Lu Feng's decisions were meant to show others that, as the top administrative official, he had his own judgments and opinions, and that this was not a place where anyone could have the final say.

Seeing that Lao Tang had already made his stance clear, and faced with the person the secretary wanted to protect, Lao Tang gracefully bowed his head and left.

The words are still there, but the sharpness has been completely withdrawn.

The executive vice mayor immediately chimed in: "I fully agree with Mayor Tang's point about security investment."

"Regarding the finance department, I will coordinate with the Public Security Bureau after the meeting to get a clear picture of the situation and come up with a practical solution. This matter needs to be moved forward, but we can't rush it. We need to calculate the costs carefully and spend the money wisely."

Hearing this, Hong Zhan remained expressionless, only sighing inwardly once again.

He looked at Lu Feng, who nodded gently at him.

This small gesture stirred up a storm in Hong Zhan's heart.

In fact, Lu Feng didn't act solely for Hong Zhan's sake.

It's because there have been too many things going on lately. Several people in the public security system have already fallen, and Hong Zhan just launched a surprise attack on the Mo family this morning.

It is not appropriate for any major personnel changes to be made to the top management of Bashi Group in the short term.

We need stability, balance, and harmony.

Therefore, this period is also a time for Hong Zhan to demonstrate his abilities. If he is indeed capable, then this incident should be enough to teach him a lesson.

If he is incompetent, then the opportunity has been given and the grace period has passed. When the time comes to replace him with another director, it will not cause too much of a stir.

Everyone present was shrewd; some might have guessed the secretary's meaning, but none were quite sure what to do.

Who knows if the Party Secretary wants to protect the flood control efforts or if he wants to stabilize the situation for a while before replacing him?

……

So much happened today that Lu Feng didn't get back until very late, so Lu Jingxiu and his sister had dinner with their mother.

It must be said that Lu Na's cooking skills are quite good.

Lu's mother and Lu Jingxiu took turns praising Lu Na, making her blush and unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

She looked at her brother and mother sitting opposite her, and felt a warm glow in her heart.

This feeling is really great.

The next morning, Lu Jingxiu got up early and went out.

He has to make up for the four meals he owes Han Xuanxuan today.

Han Xuanxuan was somewhat speechless.

Her original plan was to have lunch or dinner with Lu Jingxiu, which would give her plenty of time to chat and go shopping.

As a result, at seven o'clock in the morning, while she was still half asleep in bed, her phone vibrated.

Han Xuanxuan stared at her phone screen for an unknown amount of time before silently burying her face in the pillow.

Brother, it's seven in the morning. Who would be so kind as to invite someone to lunch at seven?

She struggled against the ceiling for a while, then threw off the covers and rushed into the bathroom.
