Gao Yuliang pondered that some of these cadres were people he had promoted. If he could take this opportunity to finalize the deal, he could further consolidate his power.

Li Dakang remained calm, pondering how Sha Ruijin would handle the situation, hoping to gain insight into his style of doing things.

But Sha Ruijin waved his hand and retorted, "Minister Wu, you can't rush things."

The appointment of cadres is a major matter, concerning the development of the cadre team in Handong, and cannot be handled hastily.

I am not yet familiar with the situation of these cadres, nor do I understand the specific circumstances behind these appointments. If I rush into discussions and finalizations, problems are likely to arise.

After I return from my research trip, we'll hold a separate meeting to discuss the matter further, taking into account my findings.

After saying that, he simply decided to end the meeting, "Meeting adjourned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Ruijin stood up first.

Gao Yuliang then raised his hand and said, "Secretary Sha, look how anxious you are."

We are the democratic Handong, the democratic conference.

There's one more thing I need to add.

Our Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission received an appointment notice from the Ministry of Public Security. Minister Hao of the Ministry of Public Security recommended Comrade Cheng Du to serve as the director of the Guangming Branch of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

In addition, our Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission has also decided to recommend Comrade Cheng Du to concurrently serve as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Guangming District.

It was awkward; Sha Ruijin was almost at the door.

Upon hearing "Minister Hao," they had no choice but to return.

I was a little annoyed, feeling that Gao Yuliang was deliberately going against me.

Tian Guofu frowned and raised an objection: "Secretary Yuliang, I have a different opinion."

Isn't it inappropriate for the director of the Public Security Bureau to concurrently serve as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission?

Such arrangements are rare nowadays; they deviate from standard practices and could easily lead to an over-concentration of power.

Tian Guofu dared not offend Minister Hao, but he dared to challenge Gao Yuliang.

The position of Public Security Bureau Chief can be filled, but as for the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Guangming District, forget about it; it must be ruined.

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Before Gao Yuliang could speak, Qi Tongwei glared at Tian Guofu and said, "Comrade Guofu, you said that there are very few such arrangements, that's because you haven't met truly outstanding people!"

Besides, it's not like it's absolutely forbidden.

Cheng Du is an absolutely rare talent.

He joined the army and was awarded the Third-Class Merit Citation, Second-Class Merit Citation, and First-Class Merit Citation multiple times.

During the 98 floods, he risked his life to fight the floods and single-handedly rescued hundreds of people from the floodwaters. This courage and sense of responsibility are not something everyone possesses!

He's perfectly capable of handling both positions!

Qi Tongwei's words were forceful and his tone was undisguised in its assertiveness.

Gao Yuliang's lips curled up slightly, and he secretly praised him.

Qi Tongwei's drive was just enough to suppress Tian Guofu and also to give Sha Ruijin a warning.

Li Dakang remained calm.

Thinking to himself, Cheng Du was undoubtedly Qi Tongwei's man.

If he can actually take office, the situation in the Bright District will become even more unpredictable.

Let's see how Sha Ruijin handles this.

Sha Ruijin's expression was a bit unpleasant, and he said perfunctorily, "Comrades, I think it would be better to let Comrade Cheng Du get familiar with the situation in Handong first. He could go to either the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau or the Jingzhou Municipal Political and Legal Committee to do some auxiliary work."

After I finish my research and investigation, I will hold a meeting with those remaining cadres to discuss and decide on their appointments.

This way, we won't offend Minister Hao, and we can also let things cool down a bit.

He could also avenge Gao Yuliang for preventing him from adjourning the meeting.

This is great! We've saved face as the top provincial official, and everything's been taken care of. Gao Yuliang has suffered a setback. How satisfying!

Gao Yuliang frowned. "Secretary Sha, doesn't what you're saying make Minister Hao think that our Handong Provincial Party Committee is trying to shirk responsibility?"

Our local public security bureau is under the dual leadership of the government and the Ministry of Public Security. It's unreasonable and unethical for us to drag this out, especially since the person was recommended by the Ministry.

Bringing up Minister Hao was intended to force Sha Ruijin to make a statement and not give the other party a chance to delay.

Sha Ruijin waved his hand, but still suppressed his emotions, "Secretary Yuliang, don't worry."

Of course I know that the Public Security Bureau has dual leadership; even a three-year-old child knows that.

"But a few more days won't make a difference. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. I can make a decision after I've investigated thoroughly."

"Not too late?" Qi Tongwei directly attacked Sha Ruijin, his tone full of gunpowder, showing no mercy whatsoever. "Comrade Ruijin, you say a few more days won't make a difference? The Guangming District Public Security Bureau is currently short of a leader. If an unexpected incident or public security problem occurs in the next few days, who will take responsibility? Will you, Comrade Sha Ruijin, be responsible, or will we, the Standing Committee members, be responsible?"

These few words aren't much, but they're a bit provocative.

Li Dakang found today interesting, extremely interesting.

The two newly appointed Standing Committee members don't get along.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Tongwei directly accused him: "And Comrade Ruijin, are you deliberately delaying because you want to disobey the appointment notice from above?"

Is he trying to establish his own power base in Handong, create a one-man show, and form his own clique?

The moment those words were spoken, the conference room fell completely silent.

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that Qi Tongwei would dare to confront the newly appointed provincial party secretary so directly so soon after taking office.

This kind of courage is truly rare.

Gao Yuliang was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm.

This is truly a case of the younger generation surpassing the older; Qi Tongwei can easily leave Sha Ruijin stranded on the beach.

Qi Tongwei is indeed my most outstanding student, without exception.

Tian Guofu frowned, his expression complex, and he trembled, not daring to reply.

A hint of amusement flashed in Li Dakang's eyes as he watched the two clash, finding Qi Tongwei quite interesting.

Governor Liu thought it was a good thing Qi Tongwei came, as Qi Tongwei directly avenged him against Sha Ruijin.

If Qi Tongwei hadn't been so courageous, Governor Liu Changsheng might have been laughed at after the meeting today. Look, the provincial leader is here, but the provincial second-ranked one is still second, and his word doesn't count.

Ultimately, the provincial governor has the final say. With Qi Tongwei saying that, Sha Ruijin has absolutely no face left.

Governor Liu was quite pleased with himself, sitting calmly and watching how Sha Ruijin would respond.

Sha Ruijin was burning with anger.

Qi Tongwei's actions were a blatant challenge to his authority, but the accusations leveled against him were far too severe: "disobeying orders from above," "establishing his own faction," and "dictating the government."

This is no small matter; he simply cannot handle it.

After a few seconds of silence, Sha Ruijin suppressed his anger and said, "Alright, Comrade Tongwei, since you put it that way, let's vote on Comrade Chengdu's appointment separately today. Let's hurry up and not delay everyone's lunch."

Those who agree with Comrade Cheng Du's appointment as Director of the Guangming Branch of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Guangming District, please raise your hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yuliang was the first to raise his hand, "I agree!"

Without hesitation, Governor Liu slowly raised his hand. "I agree!"

Qi Tongwei and Zhao Guoqiang also raised their hands.

He was a comrade-in-arms with Cheng Du and Qi Tongwei, so naturally he would stand on Qi Tongwei's side.

Within seconds, four people had raised their hands, and soon there were seven votes.

The Hantong Provincial Party Committee has a total of 13 members on its Standing Committee, which is more than half.
