Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Little Gold threw out a question and immediately challenged him.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and a new round of confrontation suddenly broke out.

Li Dakang wondered to himself if the two provincial-level teams would start fighting.

It would be better if they fought; they could beat people's heads into dog heads.

Song Yunhui sat upright in the main seat, his expression calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant. "Comrade Ruijin, you are more than twenty minutes late for this meeting. You did not report it beforehand, did not ask for leave, and did not provide any explanation."

This important meeting is waiting for you, where are the rules?

Where is the discipline?

Sha Ruijin's face darkened slightly, and he forced a defense, "Comrade Yunhui, I encountered an emergency and a sudden situation, so I didn't have time to ask for leave in advance."

The top leader taking leave is a joke.

They'll definitely let themselves off the hook; they could fill an entire Pacific Ocean.

"Comrade Ruijin, what an unexpected situation!" Song Yunhui pressed on, "Right now, the whole province is about to launch a special ideological education and rectification campaign for provincial and vice-ministerial level cadres, strictly enforcing work style and discipline. As the top leader of the provincial party committee, you, Sha Ruijin, took the lead in violating meeting discipline by being late. Is this the example you set? Your problem is more serious than that of Tian Guofu and Ren Zhimin."

Every word lands with immense force.

Sha Ruijin was unconvinced. "Comrade Yunhui, even if I'm late."

Now that I'm here, you should give me your seat.

The chairs are actually exactly the same.

However, the placement is different.

I have to save face, otherwise if word gets out, I'll probably become a laughing stock.

Instead of getting angry, Song Yunhui laughed and said, "Comrade Ruijin, let me explain to you that the chairman of the Standing Committee has never been exclusive to any one person."

Whoever is on duty, whoever is punctual and responsible, and whoever chairs the meeting shall sit in the main seat.

If you, the top leader, don't come, I'll have to sit here and chair the meeting.

If you don't show up today, are we just going to wait around doing nothing?

We don't just have meetings; we also have a lot of concrete work to do.

"Our Handong region needs development."

The reasoning is straightforward and irrefutable.

Gao Yuliang added at the opportune moment: "Secretary Sha, according to the usual practice of the Provincial Party Committee meetings, since you are not here, Governor Song will preside over the meeting."

His seating in the main seat was entirely within the bounds of legality.

Sha Ruijin thought about it and realized something was wrong. Why wasn't he there?

It is clear how vicious Gao Yuliang was and how much he wanted to get rid of him.

That professor is despicable.

Su Jingfeng followed suit, agreeing, "That's right."

If neither the provincial first nor second-level officials attend, Secretary Yu Liang will preside.

At this moment, Tian Guofu wanted to take the opportunity to elevate himself, so he stepped forward to interject.

"If none of you are here, as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, I can temporarily preside over the meeting and take the head seat."

Tian Guofu boasted that he was the fourth in the province.

Anyway, I live in Courtyard No. 4.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dakang burst out laughing and retorted mercilessly, "Secretary Guofu, do you have any shame?"

The probability of all three provincial first, second, and third-level provincial champions being absent is extremely low!

If none of the three main leaders are in Handong, there is no need to convene the Standing Committee at all!

Who gave you, someone who loves cream and strawberries, the right to host this?

That's pure wishful thinking! I think you've eaten too many strawberries and your brain's gone mad!

Tian Guofu blushed. "Li Dakang, you're the one who's lost your mind."

Song Yunhui had no intention of giving up his seat to Sha Ruijin at this moment.

Where you sit exactly isn't that important.

Since I'm already in the main seat, I can't give up my seat to Sha Ruijin until the meeting is over.

"Comrades, let's put an end to this pointless argument."

Comrade Ruijin, all twelve members of the Standing Committee have raised their hands in favor of this special ideological education topic.

We only need your vote now. Please state your opinion quickly: for or against?

Sha Ruijin had no choice but to agree.

The team leader is oneself; it's impossible for one to contradict oneself and cast a dissenting vote.

It is even less likely that the veto power will be used arbitrarily.

It's not worth the risk; a smart person would never do something foolish.

Sha Ruijin stood there, saying, "I agree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand and cast his vote.

The thirteen members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee unanimously approved the motion.

clap clap clap!

The meeting room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Sha Ruijin is not stupid at all; his IQ is not low.

This absolutely cannot continue.

He turned to look at Tian Guofu, who was standing there, and gave him a suggestive look.

"Secretary Guofu, you look pale and listless. Are you feeling unwell?"

Tian Guofu instantly understood the intention, and, like a drama queen, immediately got into character.

He immediately bent over, clutching his stomach, his brow furrowed, and his voice instantly became weak and feeble, "Oh dear... Secretary Sha, I suddenly have excruciating abdominal pain, and I feel completely weak. I really can't hold on any longer."

He feigned illness and played the victim on the spot in order to suspend the meeting.

Sha Ruijin waved his hand dismissively, "In that case, health comes first. I propose a temporary recess of fifteen minutes."

Let Comrade Guofu go down and get some fresh air and rest. We must put people first and be considerate of every comrade.

That was a pretty clever way to defuse the situation on the spot.

Ren Zhimin stood there, secretly marveling at how much he had learned.

So that's how it works! The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and good actors have a way out.

Song Yunhui and Sha Ruijin are not ordinary people.

Otherwise, how could they have gotten to these positions?

Song Yunhui saw through their little scheme but didn't intend to expose them. "Comrade Ruijin, comrades, you can rest now."

But the rules cannot be changed.

Comrade Ruijin, Comrade Guofu, and Comrade Zhimin, all three of you have violated meeting discipline by being late.

A unified review must be submitted after the meeting.

Furthermore, I want to emphasize that for the remainder of this meeting, all three of you must stand and are not allowed to sit.

Sha Ruijin's face darkened, and he immediately objected, "Governor Song, this approach is unreasonable, and I strongly oppose it!"

I protest!

Song Yunhui retorted directly, "Objection invalid."

The protest was invalid.

If they refuse to admit their mistakes, I will immediately report the entire proceedings of this meeting to the central leadership, truthfully reporting the chaotic work style of the Handong leadership and the deliberate violations of discipline by cadres.

In short, it directly strangled Sha Ruijin's lifeline.

Reporting this to the central government would have unimaginable consequences.

Even a small matter can become a big deal if it's reported.

The color drained from Sha Ruijin's face instantly. He was filled with resentment, but he was powerless to resist and dared not resist.

The main point is that what Song Yunhui said was reasonable and well-founded.

Sha Ruijin was late, so he has no grounds for complaint.

He could only swallow his anger and compromise with a long face, "Fine, I'll obey the arrangement, I'll write a self-criticism."

Song Yunhui announced a halftime break.

Sha Ruijin hurried back to his office, and once inside, he couldn't hold back any longer.

He slammed the thermos on his desk, his face dark with regret.

He cursed his wife, Cao Qingyun, a thousand times in his heart.

He was supposed to finish packing five minutes early today and leave on time for the meeting, and he would never be late.

Just before he left, Cao Qingyun suddenly made a video call.

They have truly lost their position and their dignity.

The arrival of three puppies in our home is good news.

Governor's Office.

Song Yunhui, Gao Yuliang, and Ding Jianguo sat on the sofa.

Gao Yuliang, smoking a cigarette, asked, "Governor Song, who do you think should be in charge of the Guangming Peak project after it is designated as a key provincial project?"

Without a second thought, Song Yunhui exclaimed, "Ren Zhimin!"

Gao Yuliang was a little confused. "Why him?"

Song Yunhui stood up. "Secretary Yuliang, if you want to destroy someone, first make them go mad."

The Guangming Peak project was actually a huge pitfall, and Ren Zhimin became the scapegoat, digging a hole and burying some soil in it.

When the time is right, Ren Zhimin will make a big mistake, and then he will have to leave Handong.
