Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

After Gao Yuliang finished speaking, he glanced at Sha Ruijin and said, "Secretary Sha, I suggest that you explain the handling of the situation at that time to the comrades."

Sha Ruijin nodded. "Can anyone explain clearly how it was handled back then?"

Wu Chunlin immediately responded: "Comrade Xiao Gangyu has been transferred from the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate to the Chief Prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal Procuratorate."

Wan Changhai added, "It was a lateral transfer at the time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jingfeng laughed, "Secretary-General Wan, Secretary Guo Fu, honestly, was that just a lateral transfer?"

The original intention was to point out that although it was ostensibly a lateral transfer, it was actually a demotion in disguise.

Wan Changhai was taken aback. "It must be."

Tian Guofu frowned. "I hadn't arrived in Handong yet at the time, so I didn't know."

Ding Jianguo put down his pen. "Secretary Guofu, it's true that you are the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission."

But presenting an anonymous whistleblower letter right before the meeting—do you think that's standard procedure?

Ding Jianguo paused, glanced at the people present, and said, "The letter was anonymous, the matter has already been dealt with, and the disciplinary period has expired."

What's the point of bringing it out now?

"Looking back at past accounts?"

I honestly find it a bit disgraceful.

Tian Guofu's expression remained unchanged. "Comrade Jianguo, I have no choice but to deal with any reports of wrongdoing. It's my duty."

"Indeed! You're in charge of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." Song Yunhui rolled his eyes at Tian Guofu, then looked at Li Dakang, "Secretary Dakang, say a few words!"

Li Dakang scratched his head. "Governor Song, what do you want me to say?"

Li Dakang was momentarily distracted, unsure of what Song Yunhui wanted him to say.

So I asked a question.

Song Yunhui nodded. "Secretary Dakang, you are the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. You should know how well Xiao Gangyu is doing in Jingzhou."

Li Dakang sat up straight and said, "Governor Song, to be honest, Comrade Xiao Gangyu has done a lot of practical things during his years at the Jingzhou Municipal Procuratorate."

There are many cases in Jingzhou, and the situation is complex. It's not easy for him to keep things under control.

Following these words, Song Yunhui looked at Tian Guofu and asked, "Secretary Guofu, if that's the case, why are you objecting?"

Tian Guofu pursed his lips. "Governor Song, there's a report, and I have no choice but to deal with it."

Gao Yuliang suddenly laughed.

The laughter was soft, yet extremely grating. "Secretary Guofu, you keep repeating the same thing over and over again."

To me, it didn't sound like a fact-based report, but rather like retaliation.

Tian Guofu's face darkened. "Secretary Yuliang, I am just stating the facts."

I oppose Comrade Xiao Gangyu's appointment as Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Gao Yuliang stared at him, "Despicable and shameless."

The moment those four words were uttered, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze.

Tian Guofu suddenly stood up, causing his chair to lurch backward.

Gao Yuliang also pushed back his chair and rolled up his sleeves.

The two were separated by a table, but their posture made it seem as if they could start a fight across the table at any moment.

Song Yunhui reached out and pressed down, "Sit down, everyone!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it brought people back to their senses.

"Since there are differing opinions, let's discuss them fully." Song Yunhui and the other man sat back down before continuing, "What is our principle? We cannot punish the same mistake twice. Xiao Gangyu's disciplinary period has expired, and his work ability is outstanding. The position of Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate is vacant, which is not conducive to carrying out our work. This is the actual situation."

clap clap clap!

applause.

Ding Jianguo and Li Dakang applauded almost simultaneously.

As expected of a provincial second-class athlete, they grasped the core issue directly.

Song Yunhui paused for a moment, then said, "Secretary Yuliang and Secretary Guofu, you are both members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee."

If there are disagreements, put them on the table and clarify them one by one. Don't try anything else.

I'm worried the two old guys will just start fighting.

Sha Ruijin remained silent until Song Yunhui finished speaking.

He then gently tapped the table. "Calm down, everyone."

The meeting room fell silent again.

The ensuing discussion remained a tit-for-tat.

Gao Yuliang laid out Xiao Gangyu's resume line by line on the table, from grassroots hospitals to provincial hospitals, from professional positions to comprehensive positions, every step of which was perfectly timed.

Ding Jianguo occasionally added a few words, each one emphasizing that "the procedure was legal and the punishment had been concluded."

Tian Guofu insisted on one point: now that the whistleblower letter had appeared, the appointment of the executive deputy chief prosecutor of the Handong Procuratorate could not be taken lightly.

Ren Zhimin tried to smooth things over several times, but was always thwarted by words from both sides.

Meng Zhaoyuan and Zhou Tiejun continued drinking tea, occasionally exchanging glances, but remaining silent.

Su Jingfeng was talkative, but every sentence he uttered sounded like he was just watching the show, and he didn't take sides.

After discussing for about twenty minutes, Sha Ruijin finally spoke up, "Alright, that's enough."

Thus, a vote will be held by show of hands.

"Those who agree with Comrade Xiao Gangyu serving as the Executive Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, please raise your hands."

In any case, Xiao Jinzi couldn't refuse Song Yunhui's request.

Otherwise, Chen Hai's promotion might not have been so smooth.

Gao Yuliang was the first to raise his hand.

Song Yunhui and Ding Jianguo raised their hands almost simultaneously.

Li Dakang hesitated for a few seconds before raising his hand as well.

Meng Zhaoyuan put down his teacup and raised his hand.

Zhou Tiejun, Wu Chunlin, and Wan Changhai raised their hands, and Lin Qinghe and Su Jingfeng followed suit.

Of the thirteen standing committee members, ten voted in favor.

Tian Guofu and Ren Zhimin both objected.

Finally, Sha Ruijin raised his hand, "I agree."

He looked around and said, "Passed."

Tian Guofu's face remained expressionless as he slowly folded the letter of complaint in front of him and tucked it under the documents.

Sha Ruijin took a sip of water. "Next, Comrade Chen Hai. He is nominated to serve as the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. Everyone, please share your thoughts."

This time, Ding Jianguo spoke first.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Song, Secretary Gao, Comrade Chen Hai is energetic, I admit that."

But the prosecutor's office's work isn't just about rushing forward.

Since he took the helm, the anti-corruption bureau has generated considerable buzz, but procedural and disciplinary controversies have never ceased.

Ding Jianguo spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Let me give you an example. Did the Anti-Corruption Bureau report the investigation of several entrepreneurs in Jingzhou City beforehand? Was there any explanation afterward?"

Without Comrade Lü Liang, the Anti-Corruption Bureau might have been shut down by Chen Haiqian.

In some aspects, to put it bluntly, it didn't feel like a prosecutor's office; it felt more like a theatrical performance.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Guofu put down his teacup and raised his voice a few decibels, "Provincial Ding, I have a different opinion on that matter."

As the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Comrade Chen Hai did a great deal of work on the front lines of the fight against corruption.

You just mentioned Lü Liang. I think the fact that Lü Liang was able to take charge of the anti-corruption bureau precisely demonstrates Chen Hai's skillful leadership and ability to manage his team.

That sounds reasonable, but it's actually a bit of sophistry.

Ren Zhimin immediately chimed in, "Yes, the situation in the Anti-Corruption Bureau is complicated. Chen Hai's ability to make a breakthrough in such a short time is a testament to his competence."

Moreover, Comrade Lü Liang was someone Chen Hai personally mentored, which further demonstrates Chen Hai's ability to use people effectively.

"Executive Director Ren, your thought process is definitely different from ours." Song Yunhui put down his pen. "Secretary Yuliang, what do you think?"
