Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

"Yes, Governor Song was even more enthusiastic than when Secretary Sha came. Officials at all levels in Handong Province were eagerly awaiting your visit," Cheng Kairan, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, continued his report. "Among those accompanying Governor Song were Zhang Huaimin, President of the Handong Provincial Higher People's Court; Qi Tongwei, Director of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department; Ji Changming, Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate; Liao Mingyuan, Director of the General Office of the Provincial Government; Gu Chunshan, Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission; Shen Jingyao, Director of the Provincial Industry and Information Technology Commission; Fang Chongwen, Director of the Provincial Education Department; Xu Jingxing, Director of the Provincial Science and Technology Department; Cao Weizhen, Director of the Provincial Civil Affairs Department; Qian Zelin, Director of the Provincial Finance Department..."

This long line was not simply a sign of waiting; it was the first collective gathering of mid- to high-ranking officials from Handong to greet the new governor.

Song Yunhui nodded, stepped forward steadily, and walked to the front of the group. "Comrades, it's almost lunchtime. Among those present today, there are familiar faces and new faces I'm meeting for the first time."

We have plenty of time to get to know each other.

As soon as he finished speaking, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted.

Qin Shufeng, Director of the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, Gao Zhenshan, Director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, Zhang Jianming, Director of the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Lu Changlin, Director of the Provincial Department of Transportation, Jiang Baichuan, Director of the Provincial Department of Water Resources, and others applauded.

Without him.

The government of Handong Province has finally welcomed a new master.

The applause stopped, and the entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Song Yunhui changed the subject, "Comrades, it's almost noon now, let's have lunch first and rest for a while."

I returned to the office on time at 1:30 pm.

Please continue queuing in the current order.

Zhou Haoyang, Cheng Kairan, and others began distributing numbers.

This approach brought everything to a very orderly state.

No one needs to panic or fight over it.

The vice-ministerial and bureau-level officials present all breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions softening considerably.

What I fear most is that the new provincial governor will pick and choose people based on their status.

Now, with a unified sorting system and individual reception, everything is fair and just, and no one can find fault with it.

With people's hearts at ease, the situation remains stable.

Song Yunhui saw Liang Zezhou, president of Handong University, He Mingshan, president of Handong Normal University, and others.

These university presidents are extremely busy, so it's really not easy for them to give you this much face.

"President Liang, President He, and all the leaders of other universities, you don't need to wait in line."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei was curious about what Song Yunhui would say.

next second.

Song Yunhui said frankly, "You don't need to queue this afternoon. I will make time to visit all the major universities in the province, go into the campuses, see the situation, listen to the facts, and have a special discussion with you."

Song Yunhui parted the crowd and shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with the university leaders.

This relieves a significant amount of pressure on the leaders of the entire higher education system, as they no longer need to report on their work.

This also earned Song Yunhui a good impression of valuing education.

Cheng Kairan concluded: "Comrades, thank you for waiting."

As arranged by Governor Song, he will arrive at his office promptly at 1:30 p.m., sacrificing his lunch break.

Governor Song thoughtfully arranged for the second canteen to provide working meals for everyone.

With this explanation, the problem of meals was solved, and Song Yunhui's popularity among the cadres increased.

The second floor of the canteen of the government office.

Song Yunhui sat in the main seat, while Ding Jianguo, Cheng Kairan, Ren Zhimin, and others sat around a table in turn, a standard office meal.

Not extravagant.

This is what impressed Ren Zhimin; Song Yunhui was different from others.

I deeply regret choosing the wrong side.

However, there's no going back.

The atmosphere was peaceful, filled with laughter and soft conversation.

Despite the seemingly harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, undercurrents were swirling beneath the surface.

Ren Zhimin gripped his chopsticks, his posture stiff, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

He was afraid the new governor would hold a grudge, afraid of being retaliated against later, and afraid that he might ruin his career after years of making the wrong choice in taking sides.

After finishing his meal, Song Yunhui put down his chopsticks and said, "Comrades, I think our team members should get together more often in the future. We can eat working meals in the canteen or go out to eat according to the standard of working meals."

Sitting down together for a meal and a chat can actually help bridge the gap between team members.

Ding Jianguo nodded with a smile, "Governor Song is right."

This kind of home-style dining together is the best way to strengthen bonds, and I think this tradition must be preserved.

Cheng Kairan chimed in at the opportune moment: "Indeed, it's practical and down-to-earth, and it also avoids the chaos of social niceties."

The key point is not to violate the Eight-Point Regulation.

Open and unrestrained.

Even if that old bastard Tian Guofu or that old fellow Zhong Zhengguo came, we wouldn't be afraid.

We are not afraid of being investigated, and we can withstand the scrutiny.

Sure enough, the arrival of the new governor has brought a fresh start.

Ren Zhimin forced a smile and echoed in a low voice, "Governor Song has a long-term vision. This model is indeed more conducive to the team working together effectively."

He said he agreed, but he felt a mix of emotions inside.

He felt that Song Yunhui's seemingly casual remarks actually contained a deeper meaning.

This new governor does not resort to suppression to establish authority or dredge up old grievances to hold people accountable. He appears to be mild-mannered and tolerant, but in reality, he has a firm grasp of the overall situation and is extremely shrewd.

Having sided with Sha Ruijin, Song Yunhui is now in a dilemma. If he continues to cling to Sha Ruijin, he might offend Sha Ruijin to the point of no return.

They sided with the new governor, but feared that Sha Ruijin would make things difficult for them later.

Both ends are not pleased.

It's like a rat caught in the middle, suffering from both sides.

One wrong step leads to a series of setbacks.

Song Yunhui had already seen through his little scheme. "Comrade Zhimin, eat as you please, don't be shy."

From now on, we'll work together in the provincial government. The future is long, let's work together and look forward.

Look at the scale of this!

They didn't talk about work, but they subtly touched on it.

Ding Jianguo admired Song Yunhui, who was indeed still tireless.

"Yes, Governor Song." Ren Zhimin quickly lowered his head and ate his rice, not daring to look Song Yunhui in the eye.

Yesterday he was still the one who had the final say at the provincial government.

Today, it seems that he has become the least popular person.

The provincial government compound.

A gentle breeze blows by.

The noisy crowd gradually dispersed.

Qi Tongwei, Ji Changming, and Zhang Huaimin walked together in the provincial government compound.

Qi Tongwei, the youngest, walked briskly. "Inspector Ji, Dean Zhang, it's almost lunchtime. I, Qi Tongwei, will treat you to lunch."

"Would you two do me the honor of having lunch together?"

Qi Tongwei was of a lower rank than Ji Changming and Zhang Huaimin.

Qi Tongwei was still a director-general level official.

Ji Changming and Zhang Huaimin are both vice-ministerial level officials.

Ji Changming shook his head, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and said, "Director Qi, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Governor Song specifically instructed that we could eat at the second canteen; there was no need for special treatment.

He abides by the rules and knows his limits. Especially as his retirement date approaches, Ji Changming never crosses the line, even if he has to be discreet.

Qi Tongwei shook his head. "Inspector Ji, the second canteen must be packed with cadres at all levels right now. It's noisy and chaotic, not a place for conversation at all."

Why don't we move to the Public Security Bureau's guesthouse? Our three businesses overlap a lot.

Let's have a good chat during lunchtime.

Under the guise of work, he actually sought to get closer to Ji Changming and Zhang Huaimin.

Zhang Huaimin immediately nodded in agreement, his expression calm.

The three hit it off immediately, no longer worrying about where to eat, and headed straight for Qi Tongwei's SUV.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we headed straight to the guesthouse of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

the other side.

Sha Ruijin, Tian Guofu, and Wu Chunlin are having brunch.

Secretary Bai entered and briefly explained the situation at the Handong Provincial Government.

Sha Ruijin couldn't process it all at once, and his heart skipped a beat.

I was clearly a provincial champion, so why was I greeted with such low enthusiasm when I arrived in Handong?

What exactly happened?

Why is this happening?
