Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

The scene of queuing was unprecedentedly grand.

Secretary Bai's few words struck Sha Ruijin as piercing to the heart.

Many people attended, including vice-ministerial level officials such as Ji Changming, as well as some department-level officials, such as Lin Houtian, Director of the Department of Agriculture of Handong Province; Dong Zhaoping, Director of the Department of Commerce of Handong Province; Meng Guangwen, Director of the Department of Culture of Handong Province; Han Jingde, Director of the Department of Health and Family Planning of Handong Province; Yan Zhixing, Director of the Audit Department of Handong Province; Wei Yuanyang, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of Handong Province...

Sha Ruijin was very unhappy when he saw the names on the list that Secretary Bai handed him.

"Guofu, Chunlin, look at this! It seems rather deserted when I arrived."

Actually, it's saying that not many people report their work.

Tian Guofu took the list and scanned it: Yuan Jiye, Director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission; Zheng Xudong, Director of the Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce; Li Shouyi, Director of the Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision; Jiang Huaian, Director of the Provincial Food and Drug Administration; Fan Mingshan, Director of the Provincial Bureau of Statistics...

It's true that a lot of people go there, and it's quite upscale.

After arriving in Handong, before Sha Ruijin was parachuted into Hanzhong, Tian Guofu also tried to win over some of the people there.

However, some department-level officials completely ignored Tian Guofu, a vice-ministerial level official.

"Secretary Sha, in my opinion, it is highly likely that Liu Changsheng was still in Handong at that time, and was still in charge of the provincial government."

Perhaps Liu Changsheng ordered that some cadres from provincial government departments not be allowed to go to the provincial party committee at that time.

After all, Lao Liu certainly doesn't want you to challenge his authority.

If you don't come, his second-place finish in the province will become first-place.

Old Liu is actually like Zhao Lichun; he's very domineering.

You see, it's still Zhao Lichun now, in the same position as Zhao Lichun.

They've improved by playing power games.

It seems reasonable to say something vulgar and shift the blame to that old idiot Liu Changsheng.

It was because Liu Changsheng hadn't given him a kind look during the six months he was in Handong.

It's like stabbing someone in the back.

I'm a little smug.

Tian Guofu handed the list to Wu Chunlin, who then looked through it.

Hou Pingchuan, Director of the Provincial Sports Bureau; Wu Zhendong, Director of the Provincial Administration of Work Safety; Xia Mingyuan, Director of the Provincial Tourism Bureau; Shi Zejun, Director of the Provincial Government Legislative Affairs Office; Sun Hongyuan, Director of the Provincial State Taxation Bureau; Cheng Qianfan, Director of the Provincial Postal Administration; Ding Songbai, Director of the Provincial Earthquake Administration; Liu Zeshen, Director of the Provincial Meteorological Bureau...

Wu Chunlin thought to himself that Tian Guofu was making a fuss over nothing and talking nonsense.

If these people don't line up to report to Song Yunhui, then they are ignorant and don't understand the rules.

"Secretary Guofu, this statement is untenable."

Governor Liu is almost retired; it's impossible for him to do that.

Don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards.

Wu Chunlin handed the list back to Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin took the list; it was exactly the last page.

Also present were Yue Chengyu, Deputy Secretary-General of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Provincial Policy Research Office (at the level of a full-fledged department director); Bai Changqing, Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee's Working Committee for Organs Directly Under the Provincial Government; Yao Shaoxian, Director of the Handong Provincial Party Committee's Bureau of Veteran Cadres; Chen Jingzhi, Director of the Handong Provincial Party History Research Office; and Feng Daoli, Executive Vice President of the Handong Provincial Party School.

I really want to label them "traitors".

They eat the meals provided by the provincial party committee, yet they turn their backs on outsiders.

"Xiao Bai, save this." Sha Ruijin was very annoyed and threw the list at Secretary Bai. "Comrade Chunlin, tell me, what's the real reason?"

Wu Chunlin began to regret his decision.

If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have been better off telling the truth and going along with Tian Guofu's opinion.

I really want to get off the Sha family's ship, but Tian Guofu and Sha Ruijin definitely won't allow it.

Let's come up with some excuse: "Secretary Sha, in my opinion, it's because you took office too quickly."

No sooner had they landed in Handong than they went to the countryside to conduct research and visit grassroots communities, without giving them any time to line up and report their positions.

Actually, most of the heads of provincial departments and bureaus went to the provincial party committee compound that day, but they just missed your schedule.

It's said that some people even turned back halfway there after saying, "You're going down to conduct research,"

This situation definitely exists; just give me a rough idea.

Sha Ruijin certainly has no way of investigating.

Correct!

That's what I'll say.

Sha Ruijin's eyes flickered as he looked at Secretary Bai. "Xiao Bai, what is it?"

Secretary Bai nodded. "Boss, Minister Wu is right."

Many officials at the provincial or ministerial level were present that day. The General Office of the Provincial Party Committee compiled a list of those who had attended and gave it to me.

The number of people going was definitely no less than today.

It's just not as concentrated.

Even the truth couldn't soothe Sha Ruijin's inner turmoil; instead, it made him even more frustrated.

It turns out it wasn't that no one was supporting me; I just missed the opportunity.

It turns out that it wasn't that people didn't support me, but that I was too impatient.

On the other hand, Song Yunhui, a newcomer, is already enjoying such a glamorous life.

Sha Ruijin was even more furious when he recalled being rebuked by Song Yunhui at the Standing Committee meeting. "Guofu, Chunlin, we can't continue to be so passive."

If I simply adopt a defensive stance, people will think that I, as the provincial party secretary, am unable to control the situation, while the newly appointed governor is more popular.

If this continues, the rules and regulations of our Handong will be disrupted.

The provincial-level leader must be the absolute top leader, and must have the final say.

Sha Ruijin could neither passively endure being attacked nor stand at attention to take a beating.

Tian Guofu tried to change the subject.

Without him.

This topic is too heavy. If Sha Ruijin makes a mess of things, something bad will happen in Handong.

Besides, today is Song Yunhui's first day here, so nothing can go wrong in Handong.

Otherwise, they'll just go against what's above.

"Secretary Sha, I think we shouldn't rush things. Let Song Yunhui enjoy the limelight. If he keeps doing this, he might get too cocky."

"Once a person gets carried away, they easily lose their sense of proportion. If they make a mistake, we'll seize on it and not let it go. Wouldn't that be like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?" Tian Guofu didn't want to cause trouble today.

He was of a lower rank than Song Yunhui, who was his superior.

Unable to win an argument, I decided to remain still and observe.

When the time is right, stir up trouble for others.

It's time to find a suitable mouth double.

Sha Ruijin sighed, took a few sips of cola, and said, "Alright, Guofu, this way it's easier and less troublesome. Let's wait and see."

Secretary Bai, holding a small notebook, asked, "Boss, how would you like to arrange the afternoon's schedule?"

Sha Ruijin choked on his breath and kept hiccuping. "Xiaobai, I haven't decided what to do yet."

At this stage, we must do something to regain our footing and win back the morale of our people.

Hey!

I'm a little sleepy, I want to take a nap.

"We can talk about it after lunch break."

the other side.

The guesthouse of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province.

The dishes on the table were exquisite, with a good balance of meat and vegetables.

Qi Tongwei enthusiastically gestured for the two to start eating, "Inspector Ji, Dean Zhang, please pick up your chopsticks and try the specialties of our guesthouse."

When hosting guests, one must be hospitable.

Of the heads of the public security bureau, procuratorate, and court, only Qi Tongwei held the rank of director-general.

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

They were even a step below others in rank.

This factor contributed to Qi Tongwei's strong desire for advancement.

Zhang Huaimin picked up his chopsticks. "Director Qi, alright, alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

After a busy morning, my stomach betrayed me and started growling loudly.

Let's eat together.

Chewing on the food, he nodded slightly, "But to be honest, the most enjoyable person today was Governor Song Yunhui."

This new governor is truly benevolent!
