Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

While seemingly directed at Qi Tongwei, it was actually meant for Li Dakang as well.

Look how strict I, Gao Yuliang, am; I'm quite particular about how I address people.

Li Dakang smiled and remained silent. "Tall plants, tall plants."

It is indeed a tall plant.

Qi Tongwei changed his tune very quickly, his back straightening instinctively. "Secretary Gao, our Provincial Public Security Department..."

Normally, whenever Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei are talking, even when they are discussing work, Qi Tongwei usually addresses him as "teacher".

Habits are really hard to break.

Gao Yuliang raised his hand to interrupt, "Director Qi, please sit down and wait."

I have important things to discuss with Secretary Dakang.

You can report back later.

The plan was to chat with Li Dakang for a few minutes and then see the guest off.

Li Dakang picked up his teacup, lowered his head, sipped his tea, and remained silent.

He knows this perfectly well; he's been using this method of cultivating plants for a long time.

Gao Yuliang, you old fox!

Qi Tongwei said nothing and sat in a chair that was relatively far away from Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang.

Qi Tongwei knew perfectly well that the teacher wasn't actually angry.

If they're really angry, they'll just tell you to leave and kick you out.

It's better not to sit on the sofa.

This is just acting, it's just a performance for Li Dakang's benefit.

The gate of the provincial party committee compound is heavily guarded, with armed police officers standing at the guard posts, and all official vehicles must be checked and registered one by one.

in the night.

A matte black SUV drove up, with no markings on its body.

From the outside, it doesn't look like an official vehicle; it's no different from any other vehicle.

The glass, however, is bulletproof.

The driver rolled down the window and showed his identification.

The armed police officers on duty immediately saluted and then lifted the barricade to let them pass.

A certificate issued by the State Security Department of Handong Province is valid throughout the province without inspection.

Anyone who dares to investigate is just asking for trouble.

Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang continued their conversation.

The knocking on the door started again, this time with a rapid rhythm.

Boom boom boom!

Gao Yuliang frowned slightly, tapping the rim of his cup with his fingertips, a hint of displeasure in his expression.

Who's so blind?

What's going on?

Why is this conversation going on and on, with one person after another interrupting me?

"Enter."

The door opened, and Secretary He stepped aside to lead the way, followed by a man in his early fifties.

The man was dressed in dark casual clothes and wore sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

He doesn't look like a cadre at all.

Secretary He closed the door, knowing that his boss Gao Yuliang was angry, and quickly left to avoid being scolded.

The man raised his hand, took off his sunglasses, and looked at Gao Yuliang. "Old Gao."

These two simple words do not meet the requirements for naming tall plants at all.

Alas!

The visitors were from the State Security Department of Handong Province, so there was no need to be particular about titles.

The National Security Bureau is under the direct leadership of the Ministry of State Security.

Even if Sha Ruijin commands the National Security Bureau, they can completely ignore Xiao Jinzi.

Gao Yuliang immediately stood up and greeted him, "Da Xun."

What's the matter?

When Da Xun arrives, nothing good ever comes of it.

Whoever he sets his sights on is basically doomed.

Qi Tongwei dared not be negligent.

Qi Tongwei is the director of the Public Security Bureau, and he has business cooperation with the National Security Bureau, so he naturally knows the people who come.

Only Li Dakang remained seated, his fingertips resting on the handle of his teacup, his expression indifferent.

I don't recognize him. He doesn't seem to be an official. I am the top leader of Jingzhou and a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. There is no need for me to get up.

Unbeknownst to Li Dakang, the visitor was Xun Jianxiang, the executive deputy director of the State Security Department of Handong Province.

Song Yunhui's rebirth came after he graduated from university and joined the Jinzhou Chemical Plant.

It was during this period that I met Xun Jianxiang.

Xun Jianxiang and Song Yunhui are roommates at Jinzhou Chemical Plant.

As the son of a chemical plant worker, Xun Jianxiang lost his father at a young age. He was unrestrained and unconventional, wearing bell-bottom pants, a plaid shirt, and riding a 28-inch bicycle.

Xun Jianxiang was also Song Yunhui's first friend after entering society, the kind who would go to great lengths for him, and a friend for life.

In his previous life, Xun Jianxiang was sentenced to five years in prison for disturbing public order and was caught up in a crackdown.

In order to prevent Xun Jianxiang from following the same path, Song Yunhui contacted Xu Shengli.

Having connections is useless if you don't use them.

Xu Shengli was instructed to arrange for Xun Jianxiang to be assigned to work as a driver for a certain department leader in Beijing.

Don't underestimate the leader's driver.

If you perform well, you can secure a stable job.

Later, Xun Jianxiang also entered the system, and the leader went to Tsinghua University to serve as the vice president.

Xun Jianxiang stopped driving for his superiors and followed them to Tsinghua University, where he became the deputy head of the security department.

At that time, Xu Shengli's wife, Hu Mengli, was a professor in the Department of Economics at Tsinghua University.

In his previous life, Lao Xu's wife accidentally fell to her death while airing quilts on the roof.

Years later, it was confirmed that it was not an accident at all, but a premeditated murder by Lao Xu's rival.

Now that Song Yunhui has been reborn, he is determined to change the fate of these people.

Otherwise, what's the point of being reborn?

I can't afford to lose face as a reborn person.

So, Xun Jianxiang rescued Hu Mengli and arrested two criminals.

The Xu and Hu families are both grateful to Xun Jianxiang, as well as Song Yunhui.

Old Xu's father was still alive at that time, and he was already one of the Twenty-Four Devas.

Just tell Xun Jianxiang what he wants, and as long as it's not illegal or against the law, he'll agree to it all.

Xun Jianxiang didn't know what to choose either.

I don't care about money.

He has no interest in becoming an official.

Da Xun yearns for freedom, to be unrestrained.

Song Yunhui suggested that Da Xun go to the national security system, which should be quite suitable for him.

Xun Jianxiang unconditionally trusted Song Yunhui and entered the national security system, starting as a deputy section chief.

He has no restrictions on his clothing and appearance, and he has worked his way up from the bottom to his current position.

Of course, the resumes of the national security system are confidential, and only a few people know about them; even Gao Yuliang doesn't know.

Gao Yuliang was the deputy secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Handong Provincial Political and Legal Committee. It was through various meetings that he got to know the top two leaders of the State Security Department.

As for who the third-in-command of the National Security Bureau is, Gao Yuzhen has no idea.

It must be said that the level of secrecy of the Hantong National Security Bureau is absolutely high.

The Public Security Bureau and the State Security Bureau occasionally overlap in their work, and Qi Tongwei and Xun Jianxiang also know each other.

Li Dakang has been primarily focused on GDP growth for many years and has zero business dealings with the national security system, so he doesn't even know Xun Jianxiang.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with Gao Yuliang, Xun Jianxiang plopped down on the sofa and crossed his legs.

Xun Jianxiang knew almost everything about the provincial-level officials.

They know whose savings, real estate, and even how many shares of stock they own.

He even knew perfectly well that Li Dakang and Ouyang Jing had been living apart for a long time.

The eyes of the national security police are everywhere in Handong.

It's not that Xun Jianxiang is looking for trouble; it's something his superiors ordered him to investigate.

Seeking Jianxiang was merely a routine matter.

Xun Jianxiang glanced at Li Dakang and Qi Tongwei, then waved his hand, "Secretary Dakang, Director Qi, you two wait outside first. I need to have a private talk with Lao Gao."

The tone was very forceful, leaving no room for negotiation.

A look of surprise flashed across Li Dakang's eyes, and he was secretly astonished.

In the Handong region, there are very few people who dare to arbitrarily expel members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

Qi Tongwei nodded and walked straight out, gesturing for Li Dakang to come along.

Li Dakang was arrogant and domineering. He was the absolute number one leader in the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and saw his own domineering side reflected in Xun Jianxiang.

Something felt off. This guy was a bit domineering. He called Gao Yuliang "Old Gao," but Gao Yuliang didn't say anything.

If I called out to Gao Yuliang, he would probably roll up his sleeves and get to work.

After the door closed, only Gao Yuliang and Xun Jianxiang remained in the office.

Xun Jianxiang took out a kraft paper envelope and handed it over, "Old Gao, this is a letter that Xiao Hui asked me to bring to you."

"Thank you for your hard work, Da Xun." Gao Yuliang opened the envelope and took out the letter.

The handwriting on the paper was neat and elegant, with only two characters written at the top: Yu Liang.

Only a few dozen lines.

The signature was a very simple two characters: Class Monitor.

After reading it, Gao Yuliang slowly nodded, his expression returning to calm.

But a tidal wave of emotions surged within me.

Is the world about to change?
