Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Tian Guofu stopped, holding his briefcase. "Comrade Yuliang, what you said is true. My eyes are on the work of the discipline inspection commission across the province. The corridor was dark, so I didn't notice."

Actually, he just didn't want to talk to Gao Yuliang.

Even if something seems wrong, you shouldn't say that.

Gao Yuliang chuckled lightly, "Secretary Guofu's eyes are filled with more than just discipline inspection; I think your eyes are filled with abacuses that are shrewder than anyone else's."

Tian Guofu's expression changed slightly. "Secretary Yuliang, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against you for infringing on my right to reputation."

"Do you have the right to reputation?" Gao Yuliang's words ignited a tense atmosphere.

"Alright, you two, the meeting is about to start." Song Yunhui stood between the two. "It's not appropriate for the colleagues who come in later to see you bickering at the door. Come on, let's go into the meeting room and sit down."

Song Yunhui and Ding Jianguo entered the Standing Committee meeting room one after the other.

Tian Guofu and Gao Yuliang walked side by side, but did not go in.

Tian Guofu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, "Secretary Gao, if you have any complaints about how I walk, I'll come to your office later and give you a special report on my stride length and cadence."

The Standing Committee meeting tonight is important; let's not waste time.

Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "I welcome Secretary Guofu to my office."

However, my tea is weak, and I'm afraid you won't like it.

"The tea in your Discipline Inspection Commission must be quite strong by now."

Tian Guofu paused, then followed. "Secretary Gao, whether the tea from the Discipline Inspection Commission is strong or not depends on who drinks it. Some people find it refreshing, while others can't sleep at night."

"Oh? So, who is this cup of tea for tonight?"

"Prepared for the meeting."

Neither of them spoke with anger, their words clashing back and forth, each one sharp and pointed, yet each one sharp and to the point.

Gao Yuliang ignored Tian Guofu and walked straight to the conference room.

The meeting room was brightly lit, and the conference table was so clean you could see your reflection in it.

Gao Yuliang sat opposite Song Yunhui.

Tian Guofu sat diagonally opposite Gao Yuliang, looking down at the documents in front of him, his brows furrowing little by little.

For some reason, Tian Guofu felt displeased whenever he saw Gao Yuliang.

One by one, the other members of the Standing Committee also came in.

Meng Zhaoyuan, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the Hantong Provincial Committee, and Zhou Tiejun, Commander of the Hantong Military Region, entered the room one after the other, both holding teacups, chatting and laughing as they sat down.

When Ren Zhimin, the executive vice governor of Handong Province, came in, he exchanged a glance with Tian Guofu.

Lin Qinghe, the head of the Publicity Department of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee, unscrewed his thermos and took a sip of water. His mouth was very dry, and he needed to drink more water.

Li Dakang arrived a little late, his steps quick and swift. After sitting down, he greeted Song Yunhui and nodded to Gao Yuliang.

Su Jingfeng, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City, was speaking to Wan Changhai in a low voice.

Song Yunhui picked up his cup to moisten his throat and glanced around at everyone present.

Everyone who came tonight is here.

Apart from a few standing committee members who were required to attend, there were no other people present.

In smaller settings, it's easier to see who sits close to whom and who doesn't talk to whom.

All that's missing is Little Gold.

A minute later, the conference room door was pushed open, and Sha Ruijin walked in.

Everyone looked up.

Sha Ruijin, dressed in a dark suit, walked slowly to the head seat and sat down. He first glanced around the room, his gaze lingering on Song Yunhui and Gao Yuliang for a moment.

Song Yunhui and Gao Yuliang sat on either side of Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin opened the documents in front of him and said in a low voice, "Comrades, everyone's here, let's begin. There aren't many topics to discuss tonight, but they are all very important."

Let's start with personnel appointments within the procuratorate system.

Without him.

Just because Chen Hai is Chen Yanshi's son.

As Chen Yanshi's adopted son, Xiao Jinzi had to consider this.

Sha Ruijin put down the documents in his hand and looked at Song Yunhui. "Governor Song, please speak first."

Song Yunhui didn't rush to speak. He looked around and said, "Secretary Sha, Secretary Yuliang is in charge of the political and legal system. As for the matters of the procuratorate system, let Secretary Yuliang say a few words first."

That makes sense.

He added, "Also, professional matters should be left to professionals. Comrade Chunlin is the Minister of the Organization Department, and he is most familiar with the cadre situation, so please let Comrade Chunlin speak as well."

Look, every aspect has been considered.

Sha Ruijin nodded and looked at Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang solemnly stated, "Secretary Sha, Governor Song, comrades, among the cadres proposed for promotion this time are Comrade Xiao Gangyu, Comrade Chen Hai, and several others. Regarding the issues concerning the procuratorate system, I would like to begin with the Ding Yizhen incident."

The meeting room fell silent after those words were spoken.

Li Dakang's expression was very unpleasant.

Gao Yuliang continued, "After Ding Yizhen's incident, many problems were exposed in the procuratorial system."

Comrade Ji Changming is getting on in years, and his energy is indeed not what it used to be.

This is not a problem of one person; it is a problem of the whole system.

The Handong Procuratorate needs someone who can stabilize the situation.

Wow!

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Li Dakang did not expect Gao Yuliang to say that; he originally thought Gao Yuliang would find fault with him.

It seems I was just making unfounded assumptions about others.

Li Dakang nodded and agreed, "Indeed."

As Ji gets older, he may not be able to perform his duties in some areas.

Wu Chunlin continued, "According to organizational procedures, Comrades Xiao Gangyu and Chen Hai have both undergone evaluation and meet the promotion requirements. The relevant materials have been distributed to everyone."

Sha Ruijin leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "Everyone is welcome to speak up if they have any opinions about these comrades."

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of documents being turned.

Ren Zhimin spoke first, "Secretary Sha, I have no objection."

Lin Qinghe chimed in, "I agree."

Just then, Tian Guofu pulled an envelope from under the documents in front of him and slammed it on the table.

"Comrades, I have a letter of denunciation here."

Everyone looked at him.

Sha Ruijin didn't rush to reply, but looked at Wan Changhai, "Secretary-General Wan, project it onto the big screen. Let's all watch it together."

Wan Changhai immediately stood up, took the envelope from Tian Guofu's hand, and strode to the control panel.

A few seconds later, the big screen lit up.

An anonymous whistleblower letter.

The content is written bluntly: Xiao Gangyu, the chief prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, accepted a box of cigarettes from someone.

Meng Zhaoyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and exchanged a glance with Zhou Tiejun.

Neither of them spoke, each wearing a cryptic smile.

Tian Guofu said, word by word, "Xiao Gangyu accepted gifts, violating the Eight-Point Regulation."

I believe that Comrade Xiao Gangyu is not suitable to serve as the Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Song Yunhui stared at the screen for a few seconds, then turned to Tian Guofu and asked, "Secretary Guofu, are you sure what's written in this letter is true?"

Tian Guofu met Song Yunhui's gaze and said, "Governor Song, I am absolutely certain."

Song Yunhui didn't press him further, but instead turned to Gao Yuliang, "Secretary Yuliang, you have more authority to speak on Xiao Gangyu's situation, so please share your thoughts."

Gao Yuliang seemed to have been waiting for these words. He cleared his throat and said, "Governor Song, comrades, Xiao Gangyu did indeed receive a box of cigarettes."

However, I want to clarify two points. First, this incident occurred before the Eight-Point Regulation was implemented. At that time, Comrade Zhao Lichun was the Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, and he had already taken action against Xiao Gangyu.

Second, the results of the investigation are verifiable.
