Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

The provincial party committee secretary-general Dong Jianming's pupils contracted slightly, and his body instinctively paused.

Tang Lijuan's lips twitched slightly.

Shock.

There was a brief two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Sha Ruijin's voice slowly drifted over.

The simple phrase "Uncle Chen" completely shattered everyone's psychological defenses.

He was the top official in Handong, a ministerial-level position, and the most powerful man in the entire province.

He was actually called "Little Gold" in public, and he even respectfully addressed the other person as "Uncle Chen".

What follows is even more extraordinary.

Chen Yanshi made no attempt at politeness. "Little Jinzi, I just heard Yuliang say that there is an urgent need to fill the vacancies in the political and legal affairs department."

I think his suggestion is good. We should hold a meeting as soon as possible to finalize it and get the cadres to their posts quickly.

For example, the courts, procuratorates, public security organs, and all other departments.

Sha Ruijin was a little embarrassed. "Uncle Chen, please listen to me."

Chen Yanshi hung up the phone immediately.

Ignoring the shocked looks of everyone around him, he walked towards the bike shed with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged.

Dong Jianming and Tang Lijuan looked at each other in bewilderment.

The relationship between Sha Ruijin and Chen Yanshi is unusual.

Those who keep their abilities hidden are the most dangerous.

Especially after hanging up on Sha Ruijin.

It can only be described in two words.

That's awesome!

Chen Yanshi is no ordinary man.

Just as Chen Yanshi started pushing his electric scooter, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

Caller ID: Xiao Jinzi.

Chen Yanshi sat on the electric scooter and slowly pressed the answer button.

"Little Gold".

On the other end of the phone, Sha Ruijin looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Uncle Chen, it's not that I'm not giving you face."

"I'm still conducting research right now, and suddenly convening a Standing Committee meeting would easily invite gossip."

The implication is clear: he doesn't want to get better.

Chen Yanshi was a little angry. "Little Jinzi, rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

I just finished a phone call with an old comrade-in-arms.

They unanimously agreed that Yu Liang's proposal was reasonable and compliant with regulations, and that personnel vacancies in the political and legal departments could not remain indefinitely.

The comrade-in-arms Chen Yanshi mentioned was Sha Ruijin's adoptive father.

After a moment of silence, Sha Ruijin had no choice but to compromise.

He was once an orphan who was taken in by Chen Yanshi and a group of veterans.

This debt of gratitude for being raised can never be repaid.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.

"Okay, Uncle Chen. I'll do as you say, we'll hold the meeting tonight."

Chen Yanshi's expression softened slightly. "Little Jinzi, I have another personal matter to discuss."

Chen Hai is my second son, and your Aunt Wang likes Chen Hai the most.

"When you have some free time, come visit our Laifu Nursing Home. Your Aunt Wang will cook you some of your favorite home-style dishes."

He didn't say anything about Xiao Jinzi helping my son Chen Hai, but he always put the Chen family's interests first.

Sha Ruijin waved to Secretary Bai, who was standing not far away, "Uncle Chen, definitely. I'll pay you a visit in person another day. I've been too busy lately, please forgive me."

The call has ended.

Sha Ruijin instructed Secretary Bai, "Xiao Bai, notify Dong Jianming, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

At the suggestion of Secretary Gao Yuliang, a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee will be held at 7:30 pm tonight. All Standing Committee members must attend; absence or leave is not permitted.

"Yes, sir," Secretary Bai replied.

7:30 p.m.

The Provincial Party Committee compound in Handong.

Standing Committee Meeting Room.

Thirteen members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee sat around the conference table: Sha Ruijin, Liu Changsheng, Gao Yuliang, Tian Guofu, Wu Chunlin, Qi Tongwei, Li Dakang, Xu Zhenhong (Secretary of the CPC Luzhou Municipal Committee), Feng Liqun (Standing Committee Member and Vice Governor), Dong Jianming (Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee), Tang Lijuan (Minister of the Publicity Department of the Provincial Party Committee), Zhao Guoqiang (Political Commissar of the Handong Military Region), and Xiao Jinghui (Minister of the United Front Work Department).

Sha Ruijin sat in the main seat and said, "Comrades, Secretary Yuliang has proposed that a group of cadres in the political and legal system urgently need to be promoted. I think Secretary Yuliang's proposal is very good."

Let's discuss it.

Let's see which cadres who are slated for promotion can go through the meeting together.

Voting by raising hands one by one is too slow.

We are a democratic meeting.

"Everyone is speaking freely, what should we do?"

Tian Guofu chimed in, "Secretary Sha's words are insightful."

"Secretary Guofu, how profound is that? Give me an example." Qi Tongwei was deliberately trying to make trouble for Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu couldn't answer directly, so he changed the subject, "Executive Qi, among the thirteen members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee present, you are the youngest. Being young is an advantage; you're quick-witted. What do you suggest we do?"

Pass the ball to Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei responded directly, "Comrades, my opinion is to promote them in batches as they mature. Based on the preliminary investigation by the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, as long as they pass the assessment and there are no objections, we can proceed with the procedures together."

"Executive Qi's suggestion is good." Wu Chunlin had been eager to finish the cadre promotion matters. He picked up the documents on the table and said, "After preliminary verification by our Organization Department and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, I suggest that the appointments of 89 cadres, including Ding Yizhen, Chen Qingquan, Chen Hai, and Qin Ben, be voted on together today."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang smiled and nodded, "Minister Wu, that's a good idea. I agree."

Governor Liu echoed, "I agree as well."

Soon, the vote began with a show of hands.

Passed unanimously.

Wu Chunlin began reading out the positions to be promoted for the 89 people in this batch: "Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, Secretary Gao, comrades."

Ding Yizhen is nominated to serve as the executive vice mayor of Jingzhou City.

Chen Qingquan is nominated to serve as the president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court.

Chen Hai is slated to become the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Qin Ben is slated to serve as the Secretary-General of the Jingzhou Municipal Government.

......

Please refer to the materials you have for a detailed resume.

Sha Ruijin felt that today's meeting was truly harmonious, and there seemed to be an unprecedented level of unity.

Leaning back in his chair, he said, "Does anyone have a different opinion? This is a democratic meeting; you can raise your concerns."

Tian Guofu, chin in hand, said, "I think there's one person who must be kicked out, and that's Chen Qingquan, the current vice president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court. It's said that Chen Qingquan frequently visits the Shanshui Manor, which has a very bad influence."

Some say that Chen Qingquan also owns shares in the Shanshui Manor.

beforehand.

Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu have decided that today's main goal is to get Chen Hai promoted.

However, Tian Guofu didn't like Gao Yuliang very much, after all, Chen Qingquan had been Gao Yuliang's secretary.

I really want to remove Chen Qingquan's name from the list.

"Secretary Guofu, you're really something! There's a rumor on the left and someone else on the right, but is there any actual evidence? Especially since you just blurted out that Chen Qingquan holds shares in Shanshui Manor."

I think he's talking nonsense.

It's not easy to cultivate a cadre, but it can ruin one in just a single word, in a matter of minutes.

Feng Liqun immediately followed up, "Comrades, what Executive Director Qi said is reasonable and well-founded. I agree!"

"Secretary Guo Fu, Chen Qingquan's name must be retained. I agree with Executive Director Qi's opinion," Gao Yuliang responded immediately.

Chen Qingquan was once Gao Yuliang's favorite secretary and also someone Gao Yuliang had protected.

"Secretary Guofu, do you have any evidence? If so, show it to me," Li Dakang questioned.

"Not yet, but that doesn't mean we really don't have it," Tian Guofu argued.

"Secretary Guofu, you're being a bit too confrontational," Governor Liu chimed in. "It's late at night, people are easily sleepy. I suggest we move on to the voting stage as soon as possible. Guofu, stop nitpicking for no reason."

Seeing an opportunity to back down, Tian Guofu quickly stepped down, saying, "Governor Liu, since you've put it that way, I have nothing more to say. Let's proceed with a vote by raising hands. Those who agree to approve the appointment of Chen Hai and the other 89 people, please raise your hands."

Tian Guofu and Dong Jianming, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, were the first to raise their hands.

At this time.

The unexpected still happened.

"Secretary Guofu, look how anxious you are again." Qi Tongwei stood up. "I have a different opinion. I suggest we cross out Ding Yizhen's name. We'll discuss it later."

Sha Ruijin was very pleased with himself, muttering to himself, "Could it be that Qi Tongwei and Li Dakang have fallen out?"

It's truly a stroke of luck!

Qi Tongwei rejected the favored person in front of Li Dakang.

That's interesting, so very interesting.
