Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Every word is true and every sentence makes sense; this is the common sentiment of many cadres.

Without him.

Almost all of these cadres were recommended by the Thirteen Protectors.

Aside from those who didn't include Sha Ruijin and Song Yunhui, all other members of the Standing Committee had their own preferred candidates.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit awkward.

No one expected that Su Jingfeng's suggestion would directly ignite the biggest conflict of the entire meeting.

Sha Ruijin's expression turned cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he made a decision on the spot: "Comrades, my opinion is very clear."

According to clues gathered by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, some of the 125 cadres in this group have issues with their conduct and social circles, and the potential risks are unclear.

Effective immediately, all processes are frozen, and promotion procedures are temporarily suspended.

Meeting adjourned!

That's a decisive statement, how domineering!

Sha Ruijin thought the freezing technique was brilliant.

He can't promote the same cadres that the previous secretary wanted to promote.

Sha Ruijin packed his things, stood up, and prepared to leave.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.

Song Yunhui immediately spoke up in rebuttal, saying that his disagreement with this approach must be raised, "Comrade Ruijin, etc."

Freezing cadre promotions is a major decision concerning the overall personnel situation of the province. How can it be decided so easily with just a few words?

Sha Ruijin was a little confused when he heard this. Song Yunhui was so fierce, and he was causing trouble again.

I was very unhappy.

She gave Song Yunhui a disdainful look.

Song Yunhui glared at Sha Ruijin, his aura overwhelming, and pressed on, "Comrade Sha Ruijin, I think this is extremely unreasonable and hasty."

Who exactly reported the problem?

What specific problems exist?

Who exactly are the problematic officials?

Where is the evidence?

We cannot simply rely on a few anonymous reports or vague clues to take drastic measures and freeze the future of 125 cadres!

What I'm worried about isn't just a simple freeze; I'm afraid it will discourage the cadres of our Handong Province.

Our stance is firm; we will never compromise.

"Comrade Yunhui, there's a reason why I planned to freeze things." Sha Ruijin wanted to curse, but forced himself to calm down and turned to Tian Guofu. "Secretary Guofu, please explain the situation that the Discipline Inspection Commission has to everyone."

Tian Guofu nodded in response and began to speak in a detailed manner, "Secretary Sha, Governor Song, and all members of the Standing Committee."

Recently, our provincial discipline inspection commission has received a number of reports from the public, both anonymous and with their real names.

It is said that Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, has an overly close relationship with Gao Xiaoqin, the chairman of Shanshui Group, and their personal relationship goes far beyond that of a normal one.

It is said that Chen Qingquan, the vice president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court, has been seen entering and leaving the Shanshui Group's clubhouse late at night on multiple occasions, raising questions about his lifestyle.

Some say that Cheng Du, the director of the Guangming Branch of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, is a sycophant of a certain leader's son and acts arrogantly.

There are also rumors that Qin Ben secretly colluded with cadres, showing signs of forming cliques and factions...

The clues are fragmented and all vague, with no concrete evidence to draw a conclusion.

As expected, he is the Party Secretary.

Gao Yuliang scoffed and retorted directly, "Secretary Guofu, we cadres in the political and legal system have no grudge against you. You're just targeting us cadres in the political and legal system and trying to smear us to death!"

Tian Guofu chuckled, "Secretary Yuliang, it's purely a coincidence. Qin Ben is the Deputy Secretary-General of the Jingzhou Municipal Government."

Gao Yuliang looked directly at Tian Guofu: "Secretary Guofu, even if you're going to fleece people, you can't just fleece one sheep at a time."

The Qi Tongwei, Chen Qingquan, and Cheng Du you named are all cadres in the political and legal system.

I just want to ask, where is the solid evidence?

Is it fair to label an official as problematic based solely on rumors and casual whistleblowing from the public?

To protect one's own faction, one must take a clear stance.

Otherwise, the cadres in the political and legal system wouldn't have worked so hard for Gao Yuliang.

Since there are no secrets at the Standing Committee meeting, the content of today's meeting will likely spread throughout the officialdom of Handong soon after the meeting ends.

Tian Guofu remained calm and replied indifferently, "Secretary Yuliang, we only have preliminary clues at present, and they have not yet been verified."

The disciplinary committee's working principles stipulate that the privacy of whistleblowers must be protected, and leads and whistleblowers cannot be disclosed arbitrarily.

Anyway, it was just something I said casually; there's no evidence to back it up.

If there were evidence, Tian Guofu would have led a team to arrest them long ago.

Song Yunhui said coldly, "Secretary Guofu, I don't look at rumors or reports, I only look at evidence."

Without solid evidence, all accusations are just empty talk.

Don't be swayed by vague rhetoric; stick to the rules and the evidence.

Tian Guofu shrugged and replied: "Governor Song, most of the problematic officials are at the department level."

According to the relevant authority for investigating cadres, the Discipline Inspection Commission cannot easily conduct investigations; it must obtain approval from the Provincial Party Committee before it can proceed.

We must take the public's reports seriously and not ignore them.

Speak tactfully and know when to advance and retreat.

It's perfectly reasonable to shift the blame to concerned citizens.

I, Tian Guofu, am incredibly clever!

Song Yunhui turned to look at Sha Ruijin, "So, this is the whole reason why Comrade Ruijin insisted on freezing the contracts of 125 cadres?"

Based solely on a batch of unverified and unsupported whistleblower leads?

Strike at the heart of the matter, leaving no room for compromise.

Sha Ruijin immediately responded, "Exactly."

Comrade Yunhui, the tolerance for mistakes in cadre promotion is extremely low. If you are promoted in a muddled and ill-gotten way, and problems are exposed later, the entire provincial party committee may have to bear the responsibility, or even be held accountable by higher authorities.

I, Sha Ruijin, will absolutely not allow this kind of hidden danger to occur.

I am acting in the interest of our provincial party committee, and also in the interest of the tens of millions of people in Handong Province.

They adopted a very high stance, suppressing dissent under the pretext of risk.

When it comes to raising the bar, Xiao Jinzi is definitely a professional.

Song Yunhui remained composed and assertive, directly confronting the issue: "Comrade Ruijin, even if we concede that there are indeed problematic individuals among these 125 cadres, it's not something you can simply freeze entirely with your word!"

It's interesting that a second-ranked provincial official is challenging a first-ranked provincial official.

Meng Zhaoyuan was already feeling a bit sleepy, but after this, he was instantly wide awake.

Eat spectators and watch the show.

I wonder what other tricks Song Yunhui from the Second Provincial High School has up his sleeve.

Song Yunhui looked up and surveyed the room, then clenched his right fist and lightly tapped it on the table. "Major personnel decisions, including freezing the promotion of cadres, must be voted on collectively by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee."

Comrade Ruijin made the decision on his own.

Bypassing collective decision-making mechanisms is a classic example of one-man rule and a tyrannical style!

He exposed Sha Ruijin's ambition to consolidate power in public without any mercy.

Sha Ruijin's face darkened, and his tone turned cold: "Comrade Yunhui, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just throw labels on people randomly."

My statement was made with the consideration of building a strong cadre of officials across the province in mind, and was by no means a unilateral decision.

Forcefully defend yourself and maintain your composure.

Song Yunhui pressed on, "Comrades, whether what I said is true or not, the entire Standing Committee can judge for themselves."

Since there are disagreements, let's vote by raising hands on the spot.

Those who support freezing the promotions of 125 cadres, please raise your hands and briefly explain your reasons.

Let's lay our cards on the table and use the rules to determine the winner.

The thirteen provincial standing committee members had different expressions, and undercurrents were swirling within them.

Sha Ruijin was not originally supposed to be the first to raise his hand, but he was the first to suggest it, which was equivalent to raising his hand.

Therefore, Sha Ruijin raised his hand directly, "I support freezing it. My reasons are sufficient and I will not repeat them."

"Comrade Ruijin, do you have anything to add?" Song Yunhui asked deliberately, just to disgust Xiao Jinzi.

To freeze [the situation], we must reject it!
