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

Sha Ruijin's words bluntly exposed the chaotic state of affairs in Handong.

Many members of the Standing Committee had shifty eyes, and no one dared to take the initiative to speak.

Qi Tongwei spoke slowly, leaning back and resting his hands on the armrests, "Secretary Sha, I'm curious, how exactly do you know him?"

These words reignited the already tense atmosphere.

On the surface, it was an inquiry, but in reality, it was a deliberate attempt to bring up the topic and force everyone to confront the awkwardness.

Sha Ruijin turned to look at Qi Tongwei, "Executive Qi, all comrades present, listen carefully."

By "familiar," I mean that some cadres can accurately call out the childhood nicknames of female cadres from the countryside.

The depravity involved is self-evident.

Qi Tongwei held the pen between his fingers, a cold smile curving his lips.

Since Xiao Jinzi has handed over the knife, we must stab that old scoundrel Tian Guofu in the back.

"Secretary Sha, if the situation is true, then it means that there are serious problems with the work of our Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

All eyes in the room instantly turned to Tian Guofu.

Tian Guofu's face stiffened, and his back straightened instinctively.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he forced himself to speak up in defense.

"Executive Qi, I was only recently transferred to Handong, and I am not very familiar with the situation in the province."

The excuse sounds plausible, but it's full of holes.

Qi Tongwei looked directly at Tian Guofu, speaking slowly and deliberately, each word piercing to the heart: "Secretary Guofu, if I remember correctly, it has been half a year since you were transferred to the position of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong Province."

Six months is enough time to get a feel for the local officialdom. So, what have you been doing for the past six months?

You need to explain this to the members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

What did you do?

There was no cursing, no scolding.

A calm question is far more embarrassing than an outburst of anger.

Tian Guofu's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment, unable to find a single word to refute.

Seeing an opportunity, Li Dakang added insult to injury, jokingly saying, "Could it be that Secretary Guofu has spent the past six months specifically learning the nicknames of female cadres?"

In short, it's like killing someone by destroying their spirit.

A burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the oppressive conference room.

Hahaha!

Feng Liqun lowered his head, suppressing a laugh. "Interesting."

Tian Guofu, that old man, really doesn't do anything but eat, and he even has a fried egg with every meal.

Liu Changsheng's lips curled up subtly, without any attempt to conceal it.

You should laugh when you feel like it.

You can only feel good when you make others unhappy.

The laughter wasn't loud, but each laugh felt like a slap across Tian Guofu's face.

The veins on Tian Guofu's forehead throbbed slightly. "Secretary Dakang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

He knew he was being targeted and blocked.

Gao Yuliang, Liu Changsheng, Li Dakang, Qi Tongwei, and Feng Liqun subtly formed a group, all aiming their firepower at him.

I can't beat them myself.

Gao Yuliang has a lot of fallacies.

Qi Tongwei is a formidable fighter.

Li Dakang also talks a lot of nonsense.

I really regret not recruiting Li Dakang.

On the other hand, Sha Ruijin's momentum was noticeably weaker.

The remaining three, Xu Zhenhong, Zhao Guoqiang, and Xiao Jinghui, seem to be typical observers, sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight.

Tian Guofu was furious but powerless to refute, so he gave Sha Ruijin a sidelong glance.

Seeking help.

Sha Ruijin glanced at the embarrassed Tian Guofu and did not continue to dwell on the trivial matter of conduct.

He knows when to prioritize and when to let go; relentlessly pursuing a problem only makes him a worse player.

He then shifted the topic to a more pointed and sensitive one.

Comrades.

During my time in Handong, I visited grassroots units and listened to many cadres discussing the situation privately.

"They say our Handong Province is rife with factionalism and factionalism."

The laughter in the meeting room stopped abruptly as soon as he said that.

The air froze again.

Factionalism and cliques.

This is the most taboo and sensitive red line term within the system.

Can I say that? It seems like something that can't be discussed openly.

It seems that Sha Ruijin is really anxious.

The members of the Standing Committee composed themselves and sat upright.

Gao Yuliang lightly placed his fingers on the table, his expression refined, and calmly defused the situation, saying, "Secretary Sha, the geography of our Handong is mainly plains with a dense network of rivers."

Geographically speaking, where do all these mountains come from?

His words were smooth and tactful; no wonder he was a professor. He managed to achieve great results with minimal effort.

They ostensibly discuss geography, but in reality, they avoid the issue of factionalism.

Tian Guofu thought Gao Yuliang was cunning and shrewd, and that he could never let a word slip.

He wanted to agree with Sha Ruijin, but Qi Tongwei beat him to it.

Qi Tongwei smiled faintly, "Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, and Secretary Gao may not have any factions geographically, but that doesn't mean there aren't any in the officialdom of Handong."

If we absolutely have to divide it, then there are two major mountain ranges in Handong.

Tian Guofu wondered to himself, "Can I say these things?"

This is a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee! Has Qi Tongwei lost his mind? How can he say anything?

Gao Yuliang laughed. "Executive Qi, which two mountains?"

"Secretary Yu Gao is a local cadre who was raised and promoted locally, and an outside cadre who was transferred or parachuted in from other provinces."

Qi Tongwei's words were blunt and blunt, and that was exactly the reality.

However, it only refers to the source.

Everyone in the room understood the unspoken agreement, and no one dared to deny it.

Gao Yuliang then turned his head and gently patted Wu Chunlin's shoulder beside him. "Comrade Chunlin, if we divide it this way, we are both local cadres from Handong, so we are from the same faction."

Wu Chunlin stiffened, his expression instantly turning serious.

He dared not touch a single word of such rhetoric about forming cliques.

"Secretary Yuliang, you can't make jokes like that."

His attitude was clear and his boundaries were well-defined.

In public, we will never form factions or cliques.

A deep meaning flashed in Gao Yuliang's eyes, and he withdrew his hand without making a sound.

He had tried to win Wu Chunlin over, but Wu Chunlin remained unmoved.

Without him.

Wu Chunlin boarded the Sha family's boat.

Xu Zhenhong, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City, picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and remained silent.

At this time.

Dong Jianming, the provincial party committee secretary, felt that his opportunity had come and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Comrades, I think Secretary Sha's words are the most insightful. No matter what, the problem of the work style of our Handong cadres has reached a point where it must be rectified."

If we let things continue like this, sooner or later our current provincial party committee standing committee will be criticized and condemned by the people of Handong.

Qi Tongwei said calmly, "If you don't do your job well, what's wrong with being scolded by the people?"

They deserve to be criticized.

"Am I not allowed to criticize them?"

Liu Changsheng immediately nodded in agreement, "Executive Qi is right. This precisely illustrates that there are significant problems within the organization department itself."

Since Wu Chunlin is determined to align himself with Sha Ruijin and sever ties with the old man from Handong, then don't blame him for showing no mercy.

If you, Wu Chunlin, are unkind, then don't blame me, Liu Changsheng, for being unjust.

now.

Wu Chunlin frowned slightly, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of the table.

I just felt this was a huge trap, and no matter how I tried to get in, it would easily give others something to criticize.

Defending is not an option, nor is remaining silent.

They were caught in a dilemma, with no way to even begin.

so hard!

To everyone's surprise, Sha Ruijin became inexplicably excited. "Executive Qi, Governor Liu, what you said is very good. I completely agree."

His voice suddenly stopped, revealing his true intentions and sharp edge.

"Comrades, since there are problems in the organization department, one after another."

I formally propose that the nominations for the appointment of these 139 cadres be immediately frozen.

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room fell completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The members of the Standing Committee present all looked solemn, and no one expressed their opinion.

Everyone knows perfectly well that freezing the appointment of these cadres is tantamount to overturning the table.

All the nominations and candidates for promotion that had been negotiated and finalized in the past were instantly nullified.

This move was ruthless and decisive, leaving no room for maneuver.

A hint of languid weariness flashed across Sha Ruijin's eyes as he began to plan his post-meeting arrangements, including spending some time with Gu Chunhua and having a candlelight dinner.

You have to coax your wife.

"Comrades, good, very good, then it's settled, meeting adjourned."

Just as Sha Ruijin got up to leave, Qi Tongwei suddenly raised his hand, "Wait, Comrade Ruijin, I have a different opinion."

The appointment of these cadres cannot be frozen!

Little Gold wanted to freeze it, but he refused!
