Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Song Yunhui felt that this was the right thing to do. "Old Xu, I went to the old cadres' sanatorium and witnessed the chaos with my own eyes. I can't just sit idly by."

If this cancer that preys on the elderly and seeks false profits is allowed to spread unchecked, I, as the provincial governor, might as well go back to my hometown and farm.

When serving in office, one should bring benefits to the people in the region; the bottom line must never be crossed.

Xu Shengli chuckled lightly, "Xiao Hui, that's not what I meant."

You acted too quickly; the phone lines to report you were already ringing off the hook as soon as the operation began.

Someone has filed a formal complaint against you, alleging that you abused your power and oppressed private enterprises in Handong.

Song Yunhui sat in his office chair. "It's normal, Lao Xu. It's because it touched on the interests of certain people."

Xu Shengli admired Song Yunhui.

Thinking back to my younger self, I was filled with hatred for evil and would fight anyone who disagreed with me.

"Xiao Hui, there's something even worse: they're spreading rumors behind your back that you're deliberately holding businesses hostage, waiting for them to come to you, the provincial governor, and give you gifts."

The methods of smearing and spreading rumors have always remained the same, no matter how they change.

Song Yunhui remained completely unmoved.

We never fight unprepared battles.

"Old Xu, if you're upright, you have nothing to fear. No matter how others slander me, I have a clear conscience. The fact that someone is doing this proves that I'm doing the right thing."

"Of course I trust you completely," Xu Shengli continued. "Minister Hao's side has launched a cross-provincial joint operation, which can be described as a thunderous action."

Very timely!

Later, those who had secretly reported on him and stirred up trouble behind his back panicked completely.

Song Yunhui nodded. "Old Xu, as expected."

I suspect that this group of people are 100% deeply involved in the profit chain of Handong Turtle Essence, either having received benefits or being shareholders behind it.

During the period when the signal was interrupted, my phone couldn't connect, otherwise it would have been bombarded with calls.

"That's right." Xu Shengli smiled. "When you took action, I was playing chess with the dean. When word got out, the dean only said one thing: trust Xiao Song, let things play out, and wait for the secret to be revealed."

Xiao Hui, you've shown everyone that the so-called "Handong Turtle Essence" is nothing but brown sugar water. Xiao Hui, we should thank you!

Song Yunhui: "Old Xu, this is what I should do."

Now that the truth is out, those who were jumping up and down in anger are probably kicking themselves.

"It's more than just regret." Xu Shengli's face darkened. "After the matter was exposed, these people tried to shift the blame overnight, passing the buck back and forth. Some blamed their secretaries, some blamed distant relatives, and their excuses were varied and full of loopholes. After reviewing the summary materials, the dean directly decided to hand it over to Minister Hao and Zhong Zhengguo to jointly supervise a thorough investigation."

Song Yunhui hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

Once the identities of those involved are verified, they will be dealt with accordingly.

At best, they will be dismissed and held accountable; at worst, they will be investigated and prosecuted. Even if they are not completely dealt with, they will still suffer greatly.

We will hold those responsible accountable with swift and decisive action, and will show absolutely no leniency.

Song Yunhui quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Lao Xu, thank you, Dean."

Xu Shengli decided to pass the problem on to Song Yunhui, "Xiaohui, don't thank me."

We are all serving the people.

In addition, I had a special discussion with the dean about Wu Chunlin's issue.

Strictly speaking, his decision to raise his hand in favor of freezing the appointment of cadres was an extremely foolish thing to do.

Self-denial of the work done by the Organization Department in the early stages constitutes a major dereliction of duty. According to regulations, one can be transferred from the current position, or advised to retire early or forced to retire.

What's your attitude?

This is a difficult question to answer.

After a moment's thought, Song Yunhui solemnly said, "Old Xu, I suggest maintaining the status quo and not making any adjustments for the time being."

A certain punishment may be given.

Currently, both the Party Secretary and Governor of Handong Province have been replaced, and the entire leadership team is in a period of adjustment, with unsettled sentiments and an unstable situation.

At this critical juncture, removing another member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Minister of the Organization Department would be detrimental to the overall stability of the province.

The answer was fairly balanced, objective, and impartial.

Old Xu nodded repeatedly. "What do you think of Wu Chunlin?"

Song Yunhui said frankly, "Old Xu, I don't know Wu Chunlin very well."

Based on my initial observations and understanding, Wu Chunlin certainly has the ability to work, and the various tasks of the Organization Department are progressing smoothly without any major oversights.

The issue of 125 cadres is a legacy of the previous secretary's departure.

Wu Chunlin blindly followed the crowd and took sides, forgetting that he was the head of the Organization Department.

This is tantamount to contradicting themselves, completely negating the Organization Department's assessment of 125 cadres.

Fortunately, Song Yunhui rejected Sha Ruijin's proposal to freeze the assets.

Xu Shengli nodded repeatedly, "Xiao Hui, the dean was certain you would consider this."

A broad perspective and a long-term vision.

So how do you plan to handle your relationship with Wu Chunlin going forward?

This is indeed a problem.

Even if Wu Chunlin is replaced, the new head of the Organization Department may not be as good as Wu Chunlin.

Handong is currently in a precarious situation and cannot withstand further disruption.

Otherwise, Song Yunhui would definitely have directly suggested replacing Ren Zhimin.

A sophisticated approach is to gradually adjust Ren Zhimin's role.

A side job can involve managing some less demanding positions.

After thinking it over and over again, Song Yunhui finally spoke up, "Old Xu, I am still the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, so I can also manage the ideological work of the team members."

I plan to speak with Wu Chunlin, give him a thorough education, sound the alarm, and establish rules for him.

We can fight in Handong, but we cannot abandon our principles, and we must safeguard the overall development of Handong.

Song Yunhui was determined to win Wu Chunlin's vote as a member of the Standing Committee.

Little Jinzi wants to control the Standing Committee; we absolutely cannot let him have his way.

"Good, very good." Xu Shengli nodded repeatedly. "Leave room for maneuver in all matters. Our organization also advocates learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones, curing the disease to save the patient, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach, and being tolerant and magnanimous. Xiao Hui, you truly have the magnanimity of a prime minister. We are all at ease entrusting the development of Handong to you."

The two continued talking about work and had a pleasant conversation.

Sha Ruijin had been waiting outside the office door.

After hanging up with Xu Shengli, Song Yunhui had just drunk half a cup of tea when his phone rang.

Caller ID: Sister Song Yunping.

Answer the phone quickly, "Sis."

On the other end of the phone, Song Yunping sounded a little worried.

After her parents passed away, only Song Yunhui's family remained on her mother's side of the family.

Far away in Anyun Province, Song Yunping was a little worried about Song Yunhui after learning about the actions in Handong.

"Xiao Hui, you've only been in Handong for a few days, and you've already uprooted such a large company, causing such a big commotion. Has anyone come after you? Are you safe?"

Different perspectives lead to different considerations.

The older sister was worried about her younger brother.

Song Yunhui said calmly, "Sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, everything is fine, you don't need to worry."

"Xiaohui, I'm so glad you're alright. Dongbao is right next to me; we watched your live interview." Song Yunping said with a smile, relieved. "Dongbao said you handled this so well, it was so satisfying. You handled it logically and with perfect tact, though a bit too formal. If it were him, he wouldn't have wasted any more words with them; he would have just led his men to smash up the turtle essence production line."

Song Yunhui shook his head. "Sister, my brother-in-law still has the same explosive temper, he hasn't changed at all."

"Of course," Song Yunping joked with a smile. "It's only when they're around me that they'll behave like a little lamb."
