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

Tian Guofu quickly chimed in, "Secretary Sha, you have keen insight and see things clearly."

Li Dakang appears to be flawless, but in reality, he is full of weaknesses, which no one dares to easily confront.

Moreover, the secretary clique has been established for many years, with numerous grassroots cadres attached to Li Dakang, forming a complex and intertwined network of supporters.

"By taking down the secretary's clique first, we can not only clean up the chaos at the grassroots level, but also send a warning to Gao Yuliang's Han University clique."

This move is brilliant, achieving two goals at once.

Regardless, Tian Guofu was happy as long as Sha Ruijin brought up the idea of ​​taking down Li Dakang.

Sha Ruijin leaned back in his chair. "National wealth is the key to this."

Taking action against Gao Yuliang would be too drastic and would face too much resistance, potentially causing unrest in Handong and affecting the overall stability of the province.

Taking down Li Dakang would be justified, full of flaws, and subject to controllable public opinion with minimal resistance.

Making an example of someone to scare others, and addressing the root cause, is the safest way to reshuffle the deck.

In fact, what Sha Ruijin was wary of was Handong University, which was behind the Handong University clique.

The school's graduates are located all over the country.

wrong.

Around the world.

If the attack fails, there will be a backlash.

I thought it would be simple, but when I got to Handong, I found it wasn't so easy.

Another point is that Gao Yuliang's student, Qi Tongwei, is the executive vice governor.

How hateful!

It seems like I never really win when I fight Qi Tongwei.

Tian Guofu was secretly delighted.

Li Dakang, who is usually arrogant and domineering and looks down on everyone, is finally going to run into a brick wall.

Sha Ruijin looked out the window and said, "Guofu, the Dafeng Factory incident may seem to have been settled, but in reality it has exposed many problems in Jingzhou's government affairs."

The chaotic demolition and relocation process, equity disputes, grassroots corruption, and prioritizing political achievements—each of these points precisely identifies Li Dakang's shortcomings in governance.

This is our best entry point: go with the flow and break through the impasse.

Tian Guofu immediately responded and volunteered.

"Secretary Sha, our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is on standby at any time."

"With just your order, we will immediately investigate Jingzhou's project ledgers, demolition files, and financial records from recent years, and thoroughly uncover Li Dakang's irregularities."

Sha Ruijin gently shook his head, "No rush."

"A nation's wealth cannot be achieved through haste; only a steady and methodical approach can ensure victory in every battle."

Qi Tongwei is currently enjoying great popularity.

Also, Li Dakang is a vice-ministerial level official, so to investigate him, you have to go through the central government.

Do not act rashly without substantial evidence.

Tian Guofu was getting anxious. "Secretary Sha, what if we do nothing? Wouldn't that just be letting that old scoundrel Li Dakang get away with it?"

Sha Ruijin smiled. "Guofu, quietly gather evidence. We have people in the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Procuratorate, and the Public Security Bureau. We'll investigate discreetly."

Tian Guofu gave a thumbs up, "Secretary Sha, brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

At this time.

The phone on the table rang.

The person making the call was Sha Ruijin's father-in-law, Gu Chenggong.

"Little Jin, I have something to tell you. The central investigation team has finalized its itinerary and will be heading to Handong today."

The words were brief, yet each one carried immense weight.

Sha Ruijin was a little worried.

The higher-ups sent people down; they must be investigating something.

"Dad, an investigation team? This is so sudden! Why wasn't there any prior warning?"

He was the top official in Handong Province, yet he knew absolutely nothing about it, which shows how high the level of secrecy was surrounding this operation.

Gu Chenggong chuckled, "Little Jin, this time it's a special investigation team with a clear objective: to reopen the old case of Qi Tongwei's malicious suppression of his job assignment after graduating with a master's degree."

As soon as those words were spoken, Sha Ruijin felt a sudden sense of clarity.

It has nothing to do with me, so it doesn't matter.

The investigation team is here, so be it. What's there to be afraid of?

"Dad, who is the head of the investigation team?"

Gu Chenggong: "The central leadership just held a meeting and finalized the list. The group leader is Chu Qiulin, the executive deputy minister of Group Z, and the deputy group leader is Qin Siyuan."

Sha Ruijin quickly weighed the pros and cons, then asked, "Dad, what do I need to do right now?"

Gu Chenggong said solemnly, "Little Jinzi, remember these five words: stay still, don't move."

When the waters are murky, seize the opportunity to act and maximize your profits.

When the situation is calm and uneventful, lying low and observing is the best course of action; doing nothing is optimal.

This is the profound understanding that Old Z has gained after half a lifetime of reflection.

A glint flashed in Sha Ruijin's eyes. "I understand, Dad."

Observe the situation calmly and wait for an opportunity to break the deadlock; never take the initiative to intervene.

Just then.

Tian Guofu's cell phone also vibrated.

The names flashing on the screen.

Chung Cheng-kuo.

Tian Guofu immediately raised his hand to Sha Ruijin to indicate that he was leaving, and quickly walked out of Sha Ruijin's office.

He jogged all the way back to his office as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, locked the door behind him, and then pressed the answer button.

We must be extremely careful, lest someone overhear us.

Chung Cheng-kuo was getting impatient. "Guo-fu, what important matter are you busy with?"

"Why aren't you answering the phone for ages? Why are you getting so arrogant now that you're in Handong?"

Tian Guofu, with a humble demeanor and a smile, explained, "Sir, I just went to the restroom and didn't bring my phone. I only saw the call when I got back. I apologize for the inconvenience. In your presence, I will always be a student; I have no airs whatsoever."

I'm afraid of being criticized and scolded, so this is the only way I can say it.

Zhong Zhengguo chuckled, "Guofu, you're not young anymore. If your kidneys aren't working well and you're feeling weak, take some time to go to the hospital for a checkup."

Who goes to the bathroom without their phone these days?

Tian Guofu had to nod and bow, saying, "Sir, you're right."

If someone else had said that, Tian Guofu would have definitely cursed them out.

I'm a man, you can say whatever you want about me, but you can't say I'm incompetent.

After the joke, Chung Cheng-kuo got straight to the point.

"Guofu, I'm not going to waste time with you. The central investigation team is to be stationed in Handong immediately. Investigate that bastard Liang Qunfeng."

Tian Guofu: "Sir, what work do I need to do? Please give me your instructions. I will definitely do my best."

Chung Cheng-kuo wanted to hear this: "National wealth, take the opportunity to stir up factional conflicts."

Liang Qunfeng is highly likely to fail this time and has no chance of turning things around.

The old director of Guyingling Judicial Office is really going all out. He joined forces with dozens of judicial office directors from Handong to collectively sign a formal complaint.

The central leadership couldn't stand it any longer, and the hospital director couldn't withstand the pressure either, so they had no choice but to send people to conduct a thorough investigation.

Tian Guofu suddenly realized the truth, and all his doubts were resolved.

"No wonder when Lu Jingyi, the Vice Minister of Education, came to Handong, all talk and no action, not a single thing happened. Turns out he was holding back a big move."

Zhong Zhengguo nodded. "Guofu, times have changed. In the past, we could find a secretary to take the blame and get away with it."

Now that public opinion has escalated and so many people have filed real-name reports, the matter has blown up, and ordinary people can no longer bear the blame.

Liang Qunfeng is probably doomed this time.

Tian Guofu chuckled, "Boss, that old bastard Liang Qunfeng deserved to be punished. The Liang family is finished."

Chung Cheng-kuo spat, "Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, the country is rich."

Pay close attention to his two sons and make good use of them.

Waste, if used properly, can be a good knife, helping us to tear open more gaps in Handong.

Tian Guofu's eyes lit up. "Boss, I understand. Use their strength against them and eliminate the Zhao family's influence."

They were all indeed cunning and calculating.

After hanging up the phone, Tian Guofu stood by the window, looking down at the courtyard, and his breathing became lighter.

The weather in Handong is really about to change.

the other side.

Handong Provincial Government.

Office of the Executive Vice Governor.

Qi Tongwei was sitting upright in his office chair, reviewing documents, when his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed it was my father-in-law, Pei Yihong.

Qi Tongwei put down his pen and immediately answered the phone.

Pei Yihong's calm voice came through the receiver, "Tongwei, the investigation team will be going to Handong today to investigate the case of the suppression you faced when you were assigned a job after graduation."

"Now that things are as they are, what are your true thoughts? How would you be satisfied with dealing with Liang Qunfeng?"
