Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Zheng Xipo stood behind and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"That's right, Ren Zhimin and Wu Xiongfei, aren't you so capable? You're usually so arrogant, why are you chickening out today?"

The workers were enraged and joined in the commotion. The protests grew louder and louder.

Wu Xiongfei leaned close to Ren Zhimin, covering his mouth with his hand and speaking in a very low voice. "Governor Ren, Old Stone is probably bluffing us. He's been retired for so many years. How could he possibly know Secretary Sha? Calling him 'Little Jin' is mostly just to intimidate us. We can't be fooled by his empty boasts."

If it were a nickname, I think it should be Little Sand.

Li Dakang should have called his secretary Xiao Jin "Xiao Jinzi" instead of "Xiao Jin".

Ren Zhimin remained silent, his mind racing with calculations.

If you're scared off by a few words from a retired old man today and slink away in disgrace, then no matter what Shengli does tomorrow, you'll be sidelined. You can't even demolish a large wind farm; what kind of commander-in-chief is the Guangmingfeng project?

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if Chen Yanshi really knew Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin, a new official, is known for his bold and decisive actions.

What he needs most is to establish his authority and achieve political success. How could he possibly issue an administrative order for a dilapidated factory that's about to go bankrupt?

To use someone else to do one's dirty work.

Correct!

It's settled then.

Report this to higher authorities and let Secretary Sha step in to put pressure on Chen Yanshi.

If Chen Yanshi causes trouble again, it will be seen as defying the provincial party committee's instructions.

Ren Zhimin dialed Secretary Bai's number.

The phone rang twice.

connected.

"Director Bai, good evening. This is Ren Zhimin." Ren Zhimin adopted a respectful tone. "I'm sorry to bother you so late. I have something urgent to report to Secretary Sha."

Secretary Bai felt offended.

Making phone calls during the day is understandable.

It's late at night, taking up my rest time.

Deep down, Secretary Bai looked down on people like Ren Zhimin.

"Governor Ren, the leader has been traveling all day and is probably already resting. You know he's had a very busy schedule lately and is quite tired. There's nothing particularly urgent. Let's report back at the office first thing tomorrow morning."

Normally, Ren Zhimin would give up when faced with such a soft challenge.

Taking a break from work in the province is a huge deal.

But today, there is no turning back.

Ren Zhimin looked up at Chen Yanshi and spoke into the phone, "Director Bai, it's urgent. The demolition at Dafeng Factory is being obstructed. There's been a serious resistance incident."

Please inform him that an elderly comrade named Chen Yanshi specifically asked for him. The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed.

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

"Hold on."

Director Bai saw light shining through the crack in Sha Ruijin's study door.

Boom boom boom!

He knocked three times.

"Enter."

The door opened.

Sha Ruijin held a resume of a cadre from Handong Province in his hand.

"Leader," Director Bai said in a low voice, "It's a call from Executive Vice Governor Ren Zhimin. He said the forced demolition of Dafeng Factory is encountering resistance. An old comrade named Chen Yanshi is blocking the way, threatening to come to you. He's very firm and determined not to let Dafeng Factory be demolished."

Sha Ruijin stopped what he was doing and put the resume aside.

Chen Yanshi.

The name lingered in Sha Ruijin's mind.

When Sha Ruijin was parachuted into Handong, he was facing a solid local force.

The Han University faction and the secretary faction are intertwined with deeply entrenched interests.

He lacked a knife, he lacked a breakthrough.

Sha Ruijin had also heard about Chen Yanshi when he came to Handong. He was a complete oddball in the officialdom of Jingzhou. He had offended many people, and even pointed his finger at Zhao Lichun and argued with him.

But he is one of his adoptive fathers, and also has a private second procuratorate.

Resources delivered to your door.

By supporting Chen Yanshi at this time, one can not only gain the support of veteran cadres but also demonstrate one's respect for the elderly.

He could also conveniently use Chen Yanshi to do some things for him.

If used properly, Chen Yanshi can be a powerful tool for breaking through impasses.

As for Ren Zhimin, he was just a pawn.

This call came just in time.

Sha Ruijin called Ren Zhimin, saying, "This is Sha Ruijin from the Provincial Party Committee."

Ren Zhimin straightened up, holding the phone in both hands. "Secretary Sha, hello. I really had no choice but to bother you in the middle of the night."

The demolition of Dafeng Factory is an important part of the Guangmingfeng project.

The Bright Peak project is of paramount importance.

Everything is stuck now.

Comrade Chen Yanshi was extremely opposed to the project. He not only obstructed normal construction but also organized hundreds of workers to riot on site. This severely impacted the investment environment and normal order in Jingzhou.

Ren Zhimin accuses Chen Yanshi one after another, avoiding the real issues and focusing on the trivial ones.

Sha Ruijin couldn't stand it. How could he allow his adoptive father to be spoken of like that?

"Comrade Ren Zhimin, are you building a city or creating conflict between the enemy and ourselves?" Sha Ruijin rebuked, each word sharp and deliberate. "Old Comrade Chen Yanshi, the man who used to carry explosives to blow up bunkers, is now being forced to carry a torch in the dead of night by you."

Is this what you call prioritizing the bigger picture?

Aren't your working methods too simplistic and crude? You push problems onto senior colleagues – that's your level of governance.

I think it's still a long way off.

Sha Ruijin's words grew increasingly harsh, each one piercing to the heart.

Ren Zhimin opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.

Sweat streamed down his face from his forehead.

Damn it, I miscalculated.

It was a complete miscalculation.

Sha Ruijin acted unpredictably, directly criticizing himself.

"Give the phone to Old Chen," Sha Ruijin ordered.

In front of the Dafeng Factory.

Ren Zhimin held the phone in both hands, walked step by step to Chen Yanshi, and handed it to him. "Old Chen, Secretary Sha is looking for you."

Chen Yanshi didn't even look at his phone; he simply turned on speakerphone.

The plan was to let everyone present hear Xiao Jinzi's instructions, to hear how the provincial party committee had set this tone, and especially to reassure the workers at Dafeng Factory.

Sha Ruijin had to flatter his adoptive father, Chen Yanshi, saying, "Uncle Chen, you've suffered so much. You've truly been carrying a torch on your own bones."

Wu Xiongfei's legs went weak, and he squatted down on the ground.

It’s over.

He really calls me uncle.

This relationship is so strong it could tear the sky apart.

He had just been yelling at Xiao Jinzi's uncle.

Little Gold.

That's a real gem.

What evil spirit I must have encountered today to provoke this powerful figure?

Even Li Dakang probably wouldn't dare to do that.

Chen Yanshi said in a serious tone, "Little Jinzi, I am a Party member, and we must serve the people wholeheartedly."

"Uncle Chen, Dafeng Factory will not touch a single brick or tile tonight. Anyone who dares to do so will be held accountable. I've been busy conducting research down here lately, but I'll come see you when I have time. Let's talk in person."

Sha Ruijin showed the utmost sincerity.

Zheng Xipo clapped his hands vigorously until his palms turned red.

The workers cheered, and applause resounded in front of the Dafeng Factory gate.

Hearing this, Chen Yanshi's heart finally settled down.

"Little Jinzi, your attitude shows you're a good cadre of the people."

We must serve the people wholeheartedly. You must remember these words.

Sha Ruijin dared not deny it. "I remember, Uncle Chen."

It can't be taken apart now, it definitely can't be taken apart now.

Ren Zhimin and Wu Xiongfei even started currying favor with Chen Yanshi.

Chen Yanshi ignored the two and had Zheng Xipo see them off.

Surrounded by Wang Wenge, Zheng Xipo, and others, Chen Yanshi entered Dafeng Factory.

the other side.

Lincheng.

Old Li's Restaurant.

Song Yunhui and Qi Tongwei allow Chen Qiang to find his father.

However, Chen Qiang's father, Chen Changgang, could not be reached by phone.

Chen Qiang, with a shameless grin, said, "I need to find my grandfather. Call my grandfather."

Song Yunhui nodded. "Okay, Chen Qiang, contact your grandfather."

Qi Tongwei used Chen Qiang's phone to dial the number saved as his grandfather's number.

This time, the phone rang for more than ten seconds.

It's finally connected.

"Hey, grandson!" came an old but strong voice.

Upon hearing that voice, Chen Qiang burst into tears.

He burst into tears.

"Grandpa! Help me, Grandpa! They're beating me. They tied me up and beat me. I'm disfigured. Grandpa, please bring people to save me, I'm going to be beaten to death. They're also cursing our Chen family, and calling you an old bastard."
