Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"Tell me, what exactly happened at this meeting!"

I feel like I've achieved my goal, but something seems off.

It seems that Governor Zhao deliberately gave it to me.

But why did he help me?

Back in his office, Sha Ruijin questioned Tian Guofu in a series of ways.

Tian Guofu frowned, pretending to be deep in thought.

In his mind, however, he kept complaining: "Is the method you used to achieve your goal really honorable?"

Sun Liancheng, an official, was promoted to the position of vice mayor of Jingzhou City, a position equivalent to a department-level official.

He was just the district head of Guangming District before, a deputy director-level position!

Why is that? Don't you know?

If you're going to pretend, then so be it. Why are you so good at finding ways to comfort yourself?

"You can fool others, but don't fool yourself!" These words kept echoing in Tian Guofu's mind.

But when facing Sha Ruijin, he wouldn't say these things; he would only jot down the words that were useful to him in a small notebook.

Hopefully, it will be able to play a fairly useful role someday.

"Comrade Guofu, what are you thinking about?" Sha Ruijin asked softly when he saw Tian Guofu deep in thought for a long time.

"Yes, that's right, Secretary Sha. I've been thinking about the details of Governor Zhao's remarks at the meeting this time," Tian Guofu quickly tried to evade the question.

"Then tell me, what details have you thought of?" Sha Ruijin pressed on.

"Hmm, it seems that Governor Zhao is able to communicate, is willing to communicate, and is able to reach a cooperation agreement!" Tian Guofu replied quickly.

This is just the surface information; anyone can see it.

"You mean we could perhaps reach a cooperation agreement and invite him to work together to reorganize the situation in Handong Province and find out the problems left behind by Zhao Lichun in Handong Province?" Sha Ruijin analyzed.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant!" Tian Guofu nodded hurriedly.

Seeing Sha Ruijin's relaxed brows and smiling face as he finished speaking.

Tian Guofu continued, "I think Governor Zhao is still willing to work with us to reorganize the situation in Handong. He came down with you, so he must have some tasks with him."

The higher-ups already have quite a few complaints about Zhao Lichun, and they must have the same tasks as us!

I don't think we need to establish an adversarial relationship with Governor Zhao.

Sometimes it's appropriate to make certain decisions so that we can reach a consensus.

The more Tian Guofu spoke, the more relaxed Sha Ruijin's brows became, and the wider his smile grew.

Tian Guofu felt good because he had made Sha Ruijin happy.

Sha Ruijin listened to Tian Guofu's words with great satisfaction.

So that's how it is. I was going in the wrong direction from the beginning.

I should seek cooperation with Governor Zhao, instead of viewing Governor Zhao as a local figure from Handong Province or as one of Zhao Lichun's men.

No wonder, no wonder, it turns out I made a mistake, no wonder no one supports me.

Sha Ruijin suddenly understood and his brows relaxed.

"It seems that once the position of Minister of the Organization Department is confirmed, I should adopt a more favorable attitude towards Governor Zhao," Sha Ruijin thought to himself, convinced that the position of Minister of the Organization Department had been confirmed.

Sha Ruijin felt that this matter was a sure thing.

The key figure is Zhong Huaimin, who is the adopted son of the eldest son of the Zhong family.

This news was secretly leaked to him by Zhong Zhengguo.

It is said that the eldest son of the Zhong family had no son, so he adopted this one.

Take good care of yourself, and you might reap unexpected rewards. After all, although the eldest son of the Chung family, Chung Ming-jen, has no son and his life has been quite a failure, his daughter is incredibly lucky.

She married into her family during its most prosperous period.

Upon learning this news, Sha Ruijin realized that Zhong Zhengguo was giving him a hint.

It was both shocking and exciting.

If he really gets some support, that would be incredible, more powerful than all his adoptive fathers combined.

"Okay, I understand!"

You should go back first.

Sha Ruijin waved to Tian Guofu.

He couldn't stop smiling smugly; in his mind, the position of Organization Minister was already his for the taking.

After all, this recommendation was made through a vote at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting, so it's generally unlikely to be rejected.

This represents the collective will.

The higher-ups must have a strong will to refuse this.

"Okay, Secretary Sha, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now!" Tian Guofu nodded and left. He felt a little confused. He called me over just to hear these few words, and then just told me to leave.

This Secretary Sha is not normal.

Tian Guofu sensed something was amiss, but he didn't say anything and instead turned and left.

After Tian Guofu left, Sha Ruijin's landline phone rang.

"Ruijin, come back sometime."

"Oh, father-in-law, what's wrong?"

Is there something wrong with your health? How serious is it?

Sha Ruijin answered his father-in-law's call, frowned in confusion, and then asked anxiously.

He thought it was his father-in-law, Mr. Huang, who had some health problem.

Although his father-in-law was no longer in office, he was still alive, and the kindness of his old comrades-in-arms still remained, especially since he resigned to protect even more old comrades-in-arms.

Many of his old comrades looked at Huang Lao with admiration and respect.

If my father-in-law is experiencing any health problems now.

Then Sha Ruijin, let alone reforming the situation.

That means he was promoted directly from Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission to Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and he made a mess of Handong Province, so many people wanted to cause him trouble.

"What are you thinking? What kind of nonsense is that? You wish I were dead," Old Mr. Huang sneered, then said:

"Your adoptive fathers haven't visited you many times in all these years. They're letting you come back to give them a proper look and, incidentally, to put you to the test. This time, you need to be seriously prepared; it's no joke, it concerns your future!"

"Yes, Dad, I will definitely do my best!" Sha Ruijin understood. How could he not understand that his father-in-law had found him a new ally?

However, these foreign players must earn their place through their own abilities.

"You little rascal, you've got a quick reaction. The time is set for a week later, no matter what Handong Province has become by then."

You must come back so that my old comrade-in-arms, your adoptive father, can see what you look like.

By the way, you need to maintain a good relationship with your adoptive father, Chen Yanshi, during this time; it's for them to see.

"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand!!" Sha Ruijin nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with joy, sensing that everything was turning out for the better.

On the path forward, I have seen hope again.

"Okay, that's enough, the doctor told me to rest again!" Old Huang hung up the phone.

Sha Ruijin, however, was overjoyed.

On the other side, in Beijing.

Zhong Haoran's surgery officially began.
