Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Sha Ruijin remained standing and announced the end of the meeting.

After the meeting adjourned, the Standing Committee members left one after another.

Sha Ruijin, Tian Guofu, Lin Qinghe, Wan Changhai, Ren Zhimin and others boarded a Coaster bus in the provincial party committee compound.

As scheduled, the group immediately set off for Yantai City to conduct research.

Sha Ruijin was overjoyed.

Ren Zhimin was very pleased and treated each of the Standing Committee members who came to inspect the area to a cup of bubble tea.

Just as the Coaster drove out of the provincial party committee compound, Ren Zhimin's cell phone rang.

After finishing his milk tea, he took out his phone and saw that the caller was Cheng Kairan, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government.

Ren Zhimin was notified to attend the provincial government's executive meeting.

Ren Zhimin was very displeased. "Secretary-General Cheng, why are we still having a meeting?"

I'm going to Yantai City with Secretary Sha for a research trip now.

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Kairan said bluntly, "Governor Song's requirement is that everyone must attend the meeting and no one is allowed to take leave."

This is a meeting to discuss important personnel appointments. Please be at the meeting promptly in fifteen minutes.

It's extremely restrictive.

"Okay, I'll head over as soon as possible." Ren Zhimin's expression changed slightly as he moved closer to Sha Ruijin. "Secretary Sha, Song Yunhui is about to convene another provincial government executive meeting, so I'll have to be temporarily absent from the research trip to Yantai City."

After the meeting, I rushed to Iwata City.

Sha Ruijin sighed. "Alright, Executive Director Ren, we'll head out first. Come find us in Yantai City after the meeting."

"Okay, Secretary Sha, see you at Yantai!" Ren Zhimin told the driver to stop the car, hurriedly got out, and ran all the way to the provincial government building.

Without him.

I'm worried that if I'm late again, Song Yunhui will find fault with me.

Step off the elevator and quicken your pace.

Push open the door to the executive meeting room.

There was only one empty seat in the meeting room; everyone else was already there.

Song Yunhui sat calmly in the main seat.

Cheng Kairan, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, is distributing bottled mineral water.

Vice Governors Ding Jianguo, Zhang Hongyuan, Lin Zhao, Zhao Qilun, and Guo Mingyu were in high spirits.

Because the meeting to come is a really great thing.

Ren Zhimin felt a strange unease rising in his heart, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

After distributing the water, Cheng Kairan sat down in his seat and said, "Comrades, it's time for the meeting. Please welcome Governor Song to deliver an important speech."

After he finished speaking, he led the applause.

clap clap clap!

The applause was enthusiastic.

Song Yunhui looked around the meeting room and got straight to the point, "Comrades, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee has just finalized that the Guangming Peak project has been officially upgraded to a key project of our Handong Province."

The total investment of 28 billion yuan is of great significance, as it relates to the province's economic development and infrastructure structure.

Comrade Ren Zhimin, as the project's chief commander, you must prioritize the Guangmingfeng project, ensuring that investment is effectively implemented and that the people of Handong share in the benefits of development.

That makes sense.

Ren Zhimin realized he was overthinking it and immediately agreed, "Governor Song, rest assured, I will definitely keep a close eye on the Guangming Peak project and ensure the successful development of Handong."

Song Yunhui sneered: "Comrades, based on the principles of overall work coordination and appropriate division of labor, we are holding an executive meeting of the provincial government today to adjust the division of labor within the leadership team."

We cannot let Comrade Zhimin be too overworked; we must lighten his burden.

As soon as the words were spoken, Ren Zhimin froze, instantly understanding.

This wasn't some emergency meeting at all; it was a power grab specifically tailored for him.

There is an ancient story of releasing military power over a cup of wine.

Now things have gotten really bad. Song Yunhui wants to use the title of commander-in-chief to dilute his own power, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"I protest, I strongly oppose it." Ren Zhimin said angrily.

"Standing official, please remain silent." Song Yunhui tapped the table. "Now, please welcome Comrade Ding Jianguo to read out the division of responsibilities adjustment plan."

Wu Chunlin's support for freezing the assets is forgivable.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable for the executive vice governor to be eating from the pot while exchanging flirtatious glances with Xiao Jinzi.

The plan this time is to strip Ren Zhimin of his responsibilities completely.

Ding Jianguo presented the pre-prepared division of labor adjustment plan and read it aloud to the public: "After prior overall planning and discussion, Governor Song's assessment, and in conjunction with the opinions of former Governor Liu, the division of labor adjustment plan is as follows."

Executive Vice Governor Ren Zhimin retains his rank and benefits. The core departments he previously oversaw—development and reform, urban construction, finance, and major projects—will be taken over by the respective vice governors, who will each assume full responsibility for these areas.

The specific division of labor is as follows:

Comrade Song Yunhui presided over the overall work of the provincial government.

Comrade Ren Zhimin assisted Comrade Song Yunhui in presiding over the daily work of the provincial government, primarily overseeing the Guangming Peak project, and responsible for culture, tourism, health, family planning, and petitions, among other things. He was in charge of the Department of Culture, the Tourism Bureau, the Health Department, the Family Planning Office, the Petitions Bureau, etc.

With just a few words, the division of labor was indeed redistributed.

Ren Zhimin never expected things to be so outrageous.

This is tantamount to nearly hollowing out Ren Zhimin's real power, leaving only his official rank and appearance, giving him face while draining his substance.

Ren Zhimin clenched his fist. "Comrades, I think this is inappropriate."

All the positions I was assigned were cushy, and all were in unimportant departments.

Song Yunhui tapped the table lightly. "Comrade Ren Zhimin, there are serious problems with your understanding."

We are all members of the team, and the division of labor is based solely on individual abilities, energy, family, and time.

There is no distinction between noble and lowly labor.

There is no distinction between important and unimportant roles in the division of labor.

Our mission is to serve the people wholeheartedly.

I believe this division of labor is more conducive to the construction of the Guangming Peak project.

If you feel that a certain department is unimportant, how about handing it over to another colleague?

Hand it over?

It is absolutely impossible.

In Ren Zhimin's view, Song Yunhui's proposal seemed high-sounding and the reasons seemed perfectly legitimate, but it was all aimed at suppressing him.

Ren Zhimin felt extremely aggrieved. "Governor Song, I have reservations."

Song Yunhui raised his eyes and said calmly, "Executive Ren, our provincial government is a united collective that values ​​democracy. The plan is the result of collective wisdom and effort."

It's not up to me, Song Yunhui, to decide, nor is it up to you, Ren Zhimin, to decide alone.

Comrades, let's fully exercise democracy and now vote by raising our hands.

Those who agree with the division of labor, please raise your hands.

Apart from Ren Zhimin, everyone else benefited, gaining more power and managing more areas.

Ding Jianguo is in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, finance and taxation, finance, work safety, emergency management, statistics, national defense mobilization, development strategy research, and public security.

Zhang Hongyuan is in charge of natural resources, transportation, industry and information technology, science and technology, etc.

Lin Zhao is in charge of civil affairs, market supervision, radio and television, sports, and education.

Zhao Qilun is in charge of infrastructure, urban planning, and urban renewal.

Guo Mingyu is in charge of people's livelihood, agriculture, water conservancy, human resources and social security, and medical security.

It's impossible to object.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Jianguo, Zhang Hongyuan, Lin Zhao, Zhao Qilun, Guo Mingyu, Cheng Kairan and others immediately raised their hands.

"I agree!"

They almost unanimously agreed.

Everyone praised him, but Ren Zhimin was disappointed.

Feeling deeply frustrated, yet powerless to change the situation.

Opposition or abstention will not help.

Finally, Ren Zhimin raised his hand, "I agree!"

This feeling is worse than eating shit.

Song Yunhui made the decision: "Unanimously approved, effective immediately."

"Provincial Governor Ding has another meeting, so let's adjourn for today. Meeting adjourned."

The meeting ended quickly, and everyone gradually left.

Ren Zhimin was distraught and returned alone to the office of the executive vice governor.

He plopped down in his office chair, sighed, and looked utterly dejected.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but his mood was gloomy.

Song Yunhui returned to the governor's office and asked his secretary, Zhou Haoyang, to notify Li Dakang, Zhao Qilun, Sun Liancheng, and Cheng Du to come to his office.

Li Dakang was the first to arrive. He pushed open the door and asked, "Governor Song, what are your instructions?"

Song Yunhui smiled and said, "Dakang, sit down."

In 30 minutes, we'll go take a look at Guangming Lake in person.
