Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Comrade Zhao Lichun!" Zhao Xia laughed heartily upon hearing this, concealing his sharp edge and transforming into a slightly lazy and nonchalant demeanor.

This is also the image he usually projects.

Of course, his laziness wasn't something he deliberately faked; it was just a part of his nature.

"This isn't a compliment, it's the truth, it's what I truly feel!" Zhao Lichun continued, his words exceptionally smooth.

Zhao Xia felt a little embarrassed.

"Comrade Lichun, let's talk about Handong. What do you think of Handong's chess situation?"

You are a senior in this field, and a veteran who once governed Handong Province. As a junior, I need to listen to your advice.

Zhao Xia was unwilling to continue with the formalities; his young wife in the room could wake up at any moment.

He didn't have that much time to waste with Zhao Lichun.

"Speaking of Handong Province, I have a lot to say!" Zhao Lichun's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this.

His calm expression turned serious.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xia knew that Zhao Lichun had come prepared.

He didn't speak, but waited quietly for the other person to speak next.

However, his carefree attitude gradually became more restrained.

He slowly sat up as a sign of respect.

"The development of Handong Province has not been easy!" Zhao Lichun sighed slowly, his voice filled with emotion.

"My first stop in Handong Province was to serve as the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City."

Back then, our country had not yet developed.

I know better than anyone how many people can't even afford to eat, especially in the place I'm investigating!

The best thing they could offer me to entertain me was a bowl of coarse rice.

Those were truly miserable times; back then, so many people in our country were starving and emaciated.

Whenever a natural crisis occurs, the starvation of countless people is a bloody fact.

After learning about these circumstances, I vowed to increase GDP no matter what, and to ensure that our people have enough to eat!

This process was fraught with difficulties and setbacks.

I know it, I understand it, and I am clear about it.

"That's precisely why we must cherish the fruits of development," Zhao Lichun said emotionally.

At this point, the tone suddenly shifts.

"Our country has indeed developed, developed well, and the people are living a good life!"

At least they have enough to eat and drink, and they have new dreams, but also a lot of conflicts!

But there are always some people who want to deny the fact that they struggled and endured hardship back then.

Denying the achievements of the older generation and finding fault with them in this and that!

"Is that alright? That's not good. Isn't that betraying our beliefs and our loyalty to the organization?"

Zhao Lichun said indignantly.

Who was he implying in his words? Both of them knew: the Zhong family.

They wanted to take over Handong's business and wanted to deal with him, the old secretary who had made great contributions to Handong.

But Zhao Lichun, are you really without fault?

Zhao Lichun had this question in mind, and Zhong Zhengguo, Sha Ruijin, and others also grasped the core of this issue.

You, Zhao Lichun, have been in charge of Handong Province for more than 20 years. You have certainly made contributions, but have you never made any mistakes?

Procedure is just, but it is ruthless.

You deserve a reward for your contributions; you've already enjoyed such treatment for so many years.

Now that the problem has surfaced, it's natural that it needs to be investigated.

However, the methods used were not quite right; they were rather domineering and lacked any intention of healing the sick or learning from past mistakes.

Zhao Xia's mission is to be a public servant who heals the sick, saves lives, and teaches lessons to prevent future ones.

Give the seniors a chance to turn back.

Unlike Sha Ruijin, the Zhong family never had such thoughts from the beginning, but instead always talked about justice and fairness.

They wanted to kill someone.

I just wanted to eat the cake in one bite.

This is not good, this is very bad!

This will chill the hearts of many veteran comrades.

Of course, Zhao Xiang will give opportunities, and many older people will also give opportunities, but it depends on whether Zhao Lichun can seize them.

The question is whether to turn back from the wrong path, admit mistakes, and accept leniency from the organization, or to stubbornly resist to the end.

This was Zhao Lichun's choice, the choice given to Zhao Lichun by the organization.

If Zhao Lichun cannot control himself, no one can save him. In the face of fairness and justice, Zhao Lichun can only accept trial.

"Yes, Comrade Lichun's contributions to the development of Handong Province over the years are evident to all."

"No one can deny this fact!" Zhao Xia said with great emotion.

It acknowledged Zhao Lichun's outstanding achievements during his more than 20 years in charge of Handong Province.

It's undeniable, and no one can deny it!

Zhao Lichun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

He is naturally happy when others praise his achievements.

However, Zhao Xia's next words made him jolted and raised his guard.

"So, before the public announcement period, you didn't recommend any candidates for governor to the organization, did you?"

Zhao Xiafeng stared at Zhao Lichun with sharp eyes.

This is one of the mistakes Zhao Lichun made: he actually wanted to turn Handong Province into his own independent kingdom.

They've all left Handong Province, yet they still criticize and interfere with their positions there.

Although he was a former leader, he still has some authority to speak on the position in Handong Province.

But there's no need to discuss everything related to Handong.

In particular, the issue of the top two leaders.

What do they take the organization's personnel appointment process for?

Does Zhao Lichun think that whoever he wants to appoint to the position of Handong Province should be appointed to the position of Handong Province?

He was far too arrogant. Although Zhao Lichun had achieved great success, it did not give him the right to act so recklessly.

"No, I never recommended him. It was only after I wrote him a personal letter recommending Comrade Gao Yuliang for the position of Provincial Party Secretary that things changed."

"I haven't recommended anyone since I didn't get their consent!" Zhao Lichun sat up straight and said seriously.

If the circumstances weren't unfavorable, judging from his serious expression, he probably wouldn't have raised his hand to swear.

"Comrade Lichun, you have made the right choice. The personnel appointment process in Handong Province is well-organized."

If you are not in a position of authority, you should not interfere in its affairs, otherwise you will attract a lot of gossip.

"There are many people in the same situation as you, but you're the only one who dares to leave your original position and then criticize its structure!" Zhao Xia praised, and then gave Zhao Lichun a final word of advice.

Tell him to stop trying to get involved in the affairs of Handong Province all the time. You, Zhao Lichun, are no longer the Party Secretary of Handong Province, so you should refrain from interfering in the affairs of Handong Province.

If you really want to make the most of your current position, offer more suggestions.

We could suggest suggestions to other provinces instead of focusing solely on Handong Province.

Zhao Lichun's face stiffened for a moment upon hearing Zhao Xia's words.

Why couldn't he understand the reasoning Zhao Xia was talking about? He was just unwilling to accept it, and he had set up an exceptionally deep chess game in Handong Province.

The group, led by Gao Yuliang, and the secretarial class, led by Li Dakang, were deeply entrenched.

It's easy for him to intervene, and people listen to what he says, unlike in other provinces where people really listen to him.

Yes, it definitely exists, but it has to be said during a conflict for someone to take its banner and charge forward.
