At the pinnacle of power: parachuted into your hometown as a leader right from the start!

"Comrade Qinglian, right? Please sit down!"

Before Song Qinglian could speak first, Yu Shuming took the initiative to speak.

Song Qinglian was somewhat surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Governor Yu, hello."

Yu Shuming nodded slightly.

"Hmm, I've heard of you, Qinglian. Your Pucheng City's fixed asset investment in recent years has ranked among the top in the entire province."

Song Qinglian said with a humble expression.

"Governor Yu, this is all thanks to the hard work of our cadres and comrades below."

Yu Shuming glanced at Song Qinglian indifferently.

"Hehe, Comrade Qinglian, you're very modest, aren't you? But I heard that your GDP and fiscal revenue haven't increased much."

"The gap between this and the rate of increase in fixed investment is quite large."

Upon hearing this, Song Qinglian immediately offered an explanation.

"Governor Yu, it's like this: our Pucheng City tends to invest in future industries, so the current economic benefits generated by these investments are not high, but they will definitely develop at some point in the future..."

Listening to Song Qinglian's explanation, Yu Shuming leaned back in his office chair and took out a document.

"I see this is the project funding you applied for this year?"

As he spoke, he handed it directly to Song Qinglian, gesturing for the other to take a look as well.

Song Qinglian immediately took it and examined it carefully.

"Yes, Governor Yu, this is the project funding that our Pucheng City applied for this year, and a portion of it has not yet been allocated."

Yu Shuming nodded slightly. He merely nodded at Song Qinglian before changing the subject to learn about the development of Pucheng City and listen to Song Qinglian's work report.

"Hmm, not bad. It's clear that you, Comrade Qinglian, are doing your job very diligently."

Song Qinglian said with a humble expression.

"Governor Yu, this is what I should do. As the Party Secretary of Pucheng City, I am trusted by the people, the Party Committee, and the government. Naturally, I must do my job well and live up to the expectations of the people and the Party."

Yu Shuming smiled slightly and said nothing more.

After saying a few words, he dismissed Song Qinglian.

Soon, the other officials came in one by one. When Zhao Zhiping, the director of the Finance Department, came in, his face was full of smiles.

"Congratulations, Governor Yu, on your transfer from the Ministry of Finance to our Liaoning-Zhejiang Province. I will continue to work under you from now on..."

Yu Shuming smiled as he watched Zhao Zhiping walk in, spouting a string of auspicious words.

"Comrade Zhiping, you're still so good with words! Please have a seat!"

Zhao Zhiping immediately nodded and sat down opposite Yu Shuming.

"Governor Yu, I was overjoyed to hear that you had been transferred to Liaoning-Zhejiang Province. I wanted to visit you, but I felt it was inappropriate. So I can only express my excitement today when I report to you on my work."

"After you come to our Liaoning-Zhejiang Province, the province will definitely develop better and better, and the people will definitely become happier and happier."

……

Yu Shuming smiled slightly, then waved his hand.

"Oh, Comrade Zhiping, what a person you are."

Seeing Yu Shuming's attitude, Zhao Zhiping immediately said...

"Hey, Governor Yu, I just like to speak the truth, and I'm an honest person. For example, some time ago, the funds that our Finance Department allocated to Yuanchang County were intercepted by the Pucheng Municipal Government."

"I just don't understand. I called them directly. I can't stand this kind of thing. Their project is really good, and they're withholding their funds. Isn't that targeting them?"

"I'm an honest person, and I can't stand this kind of thing."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhiping's words, Yu Shuming's face was full of smiles; he knew Zhao Zhiping would definitely bring up this matter.

"Heh, I didn't expect something like this to happen in Pucheng City?"

Zhao Zhiping immediately nodded.

"That's right. I get angry just thinking about Governor Yu's matter. This project was proposed by Yuanchang County, and it was Comrade Jiang Feng who personally came to me to discuss the project plan."

"I also think this project plan is very good. I even introduced Comrade Guozheng from the State Planning Commission to Comrade Jiang Feng. We both think this project plan is excellent."

"After returning to my unit, I pushed forward with the project review. After it was fully approved and the funds were allocated, I never expected that they would be intercepted by people from Pucheng City."

"Some of the cadres in Pucheng City are really inappropriate."

Yu Shuming didn't say anything, but quietly leaned back in his chair and watched Zhao Zhiping perform.

After Zhao Zhiping finished speaking, he smiled slightly.

"Hehe, Comrade Zhiping, every unit or municipal party committee and government has its own code of conduct. It is only right to be cautious when it comes to large sums of money."

"I think your provincial finance department could learn from this. I remember that Pucheng City has a few project funds that might go through your provincial finance department recently, right?"

"You should learn from the cadres in Pucheng City about the handling of such large sums of money. You must strictly control and audit them, and never let the funds be lost."

"This is not personal money; it is the money of the country and the people. We must not let our guard down when dealing with this kind of money."

……

Zhao Zhiping immediately understood what Yu Shuming meant, and he knew he hadn't made a mistake this time.

"Governor Yu, I understand. In the future, our Finance Department will strictly control risks and clarify audit standards for the audit of funds at the lower levels."

Yu Shuming smiled slightly.

"Good, Comrade Zhiping, it seems you've done a good job. You've taken note of the risks and changes."

"What you have done is seen by me and the leaders of the provincial party committee and government. You have been responsible for the people's property, and the party and the organization will certainly not let you down."

Zhao Zhiping immediately nodded.

"Governor Yu, please rest assured, I am responsible for the property of the country and the people; it is entirely out of my duty..."

After Zhao Zhiping left, Yu Shuming pondered for a moment and felt that he had made the right move.

Not revealing her relationship with Jiang Feng might come in handy at a crucial moment.

For leaders at their level, every piece of information and every bit of foresight is incredibly useful. Of course, not every piece of information can be used, but if it is, the gains are enormous.

Meanwhile, when Song Qinglian returned to Pucheng City, he couldn't help but ponder these thoughts.

Did I say anything wrong when I met with Governor Yu today?

If this future governor holds a grudge against him, or if he gets a bad taste in his mouth, his life will be in trouble.

However, after carefully reviewing the information, he was relieved to be sure that he hadn't said anything wrong.

Meanwhile, leaders kept coming to Yu Shuming to report on their work.

Gao Yuqiang was one of them, and this report was more official in nature.

"Then I'll be leaving now, Governor Yu."

Yu Shuming nodded slightly and smiled.

"it is good."

After Gao Yuqiang left, Yu Shuming smiled and nodded.

"Xiaofeng's future father-in-law is quite capable, isn't he? In the future, we could try to transfer him to a position with greater responsibility."

"With great power comes great responsibility!"
