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

Gao Yuliang turned and called into the house, "Huifen, come out and see who's here!"

Upon hearing the noise, Wu Huifen came out of the house and smiled when she saw Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du.

"Tongwei, Chengdu, you're here. Come in and sit down, it's windy outside."

The four of them walked into the living room together. Wu Huifen was quick and efficient, and soon served the washed fruit and brewed the tea.

Gao Yuliang pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, make yourself at home, don't be shy."

Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du sat down.

Gao Yuliang sighed softly, his face slowly darkening.

"Tongwei, it's good that you're back this time. But I guess my career is coming to an end."

I reckon in another two years, I'll either retire or take a dead-end job.

Qi Tongwei looked up: "What makes you say that, teacher?"

Gao Yuliang gave a wry smile: "I just received news that the province is going to parachute in a new provincial party secretary, his name is something like Jin."

Qi Tongwei calmly spoke: "Sha Ruijin."

Gao Yuliang was taken aback: "Tongwei, how did you know?"

"Teacher, because my father-in-law is Pei Yihong."

"I ran into him this morning while I was talking to Group Z." Qi Tongwei said indifferently, "That guy has an unfriendly face and a tough aura. I don't like him."

Wu Huifen chimed in, "I've heard about this too. A while ago, Zhao Ruilong and Chen Shan were quite certain that Teacher Gao would definitely be the provincial party secretary this time."

Gao Yuliang waved his hand, looking dejected.

"Teacher Wu, those are just rumors, don't take them seriously."

Ever since Liu Kaihe from Luzhou got into trouble, I've been in a passive position, and life has gotten harder every day.

The appointment of Gao Yuliang as the Secretary of the Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee to the Standing Committee also marked the beginning of Gao Yuliang's tenure as Secretary of the Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Xu Zhenhong, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City who came from out of town, had no connection with Gao Yuliang, so Gao Yuliang essentially lost a vote for a provincial standing committee member.

If Liu Kaihe were still the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City, Gao Yuliang would have one more vote.

If we compare the two sides, one positive and one negative, then one vote is equivalent to two votes.

Qi Tongwei raised an eyebrow: "Teacher, others have directly undermined your foundation in Luzhou."

Gao Yuliang nodded and let out a long sigh.

I guess so.

I'm afraid I won't have many good days ahead of me.

I didn't have many supporters to begin with, and I expect there will be even fewer now.

Even Wu Chunlin, who has always been neutral, might side with the new secretary.

He paused, his tone becoming even more serious.

"Li Dakang and I have never gotten along. With the new secretary in charge, he's even more eager to curry favor with me. As the deputy secretary and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I may seem to hold a high position, but my situation is actually quite awkward."

Qi Tongwei looked at Gao Yuliang with a calm expression. "Teacher, don't worry. I'm here."

Gao Yuliang was taken aback: "Tongwei, what did you say?"

"I said, don't rush," Qi Tongwei repeated, "Teacher, I, Qi Tongwei, am here."

Gao Yuliang didn't react immediately: "You're here? Aren't you standing right in front of me?"

Cheng Du couldn't help but chuckle and offered an explanation.

"Teacher, Tongwei is the newly appointed Executive Vice Governor of Handong Province when he returned to Handong this time."

"..."

Gao Yuliang froze on the sofa, unable to recover for a long time.

Wu Huifen covered her mouth, her face filled with disbelief: "Tongwei? Executive Vice Governor? Really?"

I honestly find it hard to believe.

It was a truly unexpected delight.

Gao Yuliang, being a seasoned official, only paused for a few seconds before realizing what was happening.

"Tongwei, you...you really became the executive vice governor?"

Qi Tongwei nodded slightly: "The appointment was just issued. The Z Group will come to Handong tomorrow to announce it, so I came to see you in advance."

Gao Yuliang slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

His three consecutive "good"s swept away the gloom that had been building up for days.

"Teacher Wu, hurry!"

"Quickly prepare some snacks to go with the drinks; I'm going to have a good few drinks with Tongwei and Chengdu tonight!"

Wu Huifen smiled and agreed, "I'll go prepare right away."

Qi Tongwei raised his hand to stop him.

"Teacher, we definitely need to drink, but not here."

Gao Yuliang asked in confusion, "Not here? Then where did you go?"

Qi Tongwei's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"Handong Military Region".

Gao Yuliang was startled: "Tongwei, are you kidding me? How can you drink so casually in a military region?"

Qi Tongwei said calmly, "Teacher, the current political commissar of the Handong Military Region is Zhao Guoqiang, a comrade-in-arms of me and Cheng Du."

Gao Yuliang's pupils contracted slightly.

The political commissar of the military region is a comrade-in-arms of the students, and now another student, the executive vice governor, has been parachuted in.

In total, there were three votes from the provincial party committee standing committee members.

Looking at Qi Tongwei, he was speechless for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Tongwei, you've arrived... This seemingly hopeless situation in Handong is now alive."

suddenly see the light.

Office of the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong Province.

The phone rang.

Tian Guofu answered immediately, his tone respectful: "Old leader."

Sha Ruijin's calm voice came through the receiver: "Guofu, it's settled. Provincial First-Class. The appointment notice will be read out by Group Z tomorrow."

Tian Guofu straightened up slightly: "Congratulations, Secretary Sha, you truly deserve it."

Enduring humiliation and hardship, Tian Guofu persevered for nearly half a year before finally welcoming his own people.

Sha Ruijin was clearly a little anxious. "Guofu, proceed according to the plan we discussed earlier. After I take office, I must take control of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee as soon as possible and stabilize the situation."

Tian Guofu replied in a deep voice, "Secretary Sha, please rest assured. I will implement it as soon as possible and guarantee the task will be completed."

"Okay, let's keep in touch if anything comes up."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Guofu slowly put down his phone and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.

When Sha Ruijin was parachuted into Handong, his foundation was not yet solid, so his first priority was to win over people and establish a firm foothold.

And he himself was the most crucial person in Handong.

Tian Guofu always thought of himself as someone important.

From elementary school onwards, Tian Guofu felt that he was destined to do something extraordinary in his life.

Contact Dong Jianming, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, directly.

"Secretary-General Dong, come to my office, it's urgent."

A short while later, Dong Jianming strode in, his expression respectful: "Secretary Tian, ​​you wanted to see me?"

Tian Guofu looked up at him: "I just received confirmation that the newly appointed Provincial Party Secretary, Comrade Sha Ruijin, will arrive in Handong tomorrow."

Dong Jianming's eyes lit up: "Great, I'll arrange the reception, accommodation, and travel arrangements immediately."

Tian Guofu waved his hand: "These are the basics. I'm going to tell you something more important."

You must remember Secretary Sha's preferences and habits very well.

Dong Jianming immediately took out his notebook, removed the pen cap, and said, "Tell me, I'll write it down."

"Secretary Sha has a regular daily routine, dislikes extravagance, but values ​​style. The office should be decorated in a simple and elegant manner, without being flashy, and the green plants should mainly be pine and cypress."

He prefers a light diet, avoids strong alcohol, and only drinks pre-Qingming green tea.

Another point is that he is particular about the layout of his courtyard, preferring furnishings that evoke the imagery of mountains and water.

Tung Kin-ming quickly took notes, nodding repeatedly: "Understood, I'll write it all down and arrange it immediately."

Let's build a fake mountain for Secretary Sha.

This new Party Secretary is truly an oddball.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to radishes and leafy greens.

Tian Guofu took out a cigarette and handed it to Dong Jianming. "Jianming, this is a crucial moment."

"Secretary Sha has just arrived in Handong, and the people's hearts are not yet settled. We must immediately maintain a high degree of consistency with him."

The Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee must maintain consistency with the Provincial Party Committee.

I'm the chief steward of the provincial party committee, you know.

If you go against the provincial top leader, you could be disqualified at any time.
