Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

"Liangping, this time Secretary Sha personally requested that you, the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, meet with him."

This is a rare opportunity, so you must seize it. As for how to say certain things, I don't need to teach you, do I?

Ji Changming led Hou Liangping to wait at the door of Sha Ruijin's office and reminded Hou Liangping.

"Don't worry, I understand work-related matters. I'll answer whatever Secretary Sha asks!"

Hou Liangping nodded solemnly.

"Secretary Sha wants you to come in!"

Secretary Xiaobai suddenly opened the door and spoke to the two of them in a gentle tone.

He gestured for the two to go inside.

"Secretary Sha, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Hou Liangping, who came from the Supreme People's Procuratorate. He is now the Deputy Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"

Ji Changming explained to Sha Ruijin.

"Deputy Director?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin frowned slightly. He had thought Hou Liangping was at least the director of the anti-corruption bureau, a department-level cadre, but he hadn't expected him to be just a deputy director at the division level.

He had seen Hou Liangping's file; he was 42 years old this year, an age at which he was only a division-level cadre.

In Sha Ruijin's eyes, this was already a relatively low level.

Even Sha Ruijin himself is already at the bureau-level at this age, and he also enjoys the treatment of a full bureau-level official.

In Sha Ruijin's eyes, Hou Liangping's age and rank were truly too ordinary.

But then I thought about it again, Hou Liangping was backed by Zhong Zhengguo, and he came down with the will of the Zhong family.

If it were based on rank in Handong Province, he would have his own top leader protecting him.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get started.

Having figured these things out, Sha Ruijin's brows slowly relaxed.

………………

Meanwhile, in Zhao Xia's office.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Who contacted me at this time?

"How can you not understand any rules?" Zhao Xia looked at Chen Xiaodong with a puzzled expression as she listened to the voice outside the door.

It's already 4:30, and there's only half an hour left until 5:00 when he gets off work. He's preparing to leave early at this time.

But it was precisely at this moment that the person arrived.

If it really was arranged by the secretary, then that's incredibly inconsiderate.

"Boss, I didn't make an appointment for this time, I didn't know either." Chen Xiaodong quickly distanced himself from the situation.

It's not that there were no appointments at this time, but rather that no one's appointments were approved at this time.

It is believed that the officials in Handong Province will soon realize that they cannot get an appointment with Governor Zhao at this time.

"Go see who it is. It's still working hours. If it's important, let him in."

Zhao Xia spoke up, and the secretary went to open the door. A moment later, she brought someone in.

Zhao Xia frowned slightly when she saw the person who had arrived.

He blurted out, "Secretary Dakang, what brings you here so late?"

He didn't stand up, but looked up at Li Dakang and asked.

His tone was neither warm nor cold; it was just a very simple inquiry. In his sense, 4:30 was already quite late, and the sun was already beginning to set.

How can this not be considered late?

"Don't worry, Governor Zhao, I came without an appointment!"

Li Dakang bent down and bowed to Zhao Xia.

He knew that arriving without an appointment was indeed very impolite.

But he really had no choice these days, Chen Yanshi kept running to his office!

Moreover, she's been sitting outside his office for the past three days, making it impossible for him to work.

If he doesn't escape that place and seek help soon, he'll probably be bothered to death by that old man, Chen Yanshi.

The work in Jingzhou City cannot be delayed.

So he went directly to Governor Zhao Xia to complain.

"What's going on? Sit down and tell me slowly?"

Seeing Li Dakang's anxious appearance, Zhao Xia calmly said.

Secretary Chen Xiaodong brewed tea for the two of them, and then, seeing that they were about to discuss serious matters, he turned around, closed the door, and left in perfect unison.

"Governor Zhao, you should have a clear understanding of the situation at Dafeng Factory by now."

Zhao Xia nodded slowly, smiling without saying a word.

Seeing Zhao Xia's calm demeanor, Li Dakang...

Instead, he became impatient and said in a heated tone, "You handled the Dafeng Factory matter according to procedures and the law. Do you think no one should question that?"

Zhao Xia smiled with narrowed eyes upon hearing this, but made no move and continued to drink her tea.

They're trying to trick me into saying something. If I agree, I'll fall into their trap.

Zhao Xia wouldn't fall for such a simple trick.

Li Dakang looked at Zhao Xia, who was completely ignoring him.

With a helpless, bitter smile, he could only recount the troubles he had encountered.

"Hasn't Qi Tongwei, the director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, arrested too many people from Dafeng Factory...?"

Li Dakang said cautiously.

He knew this was Zhao Xia's order, which Zhao Xia had expressed in public on more than one occasion.

So what he said

It was really inappropriate to say this at this time, but he had been driven crazy by Chen Yanshi these past few days.

The man's son is the director of the anti-corruption bureau and has been deeply involved in the anti-corruption work in Handong Province for many years. He can't escape even if he wants to.

They would be caught as soon as they moved to a new place to work.

It's impossible to expect a provincial capital city party secretary to hide in a basement or work in his car.

That's so embarrassing!

"Secretary Dakang, you have some more insightful opinions. Please share them!"

Zhao Xia said with a hint of mockery.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Li Dakang.

It's as if to say, "It's not your place to question my decision."

The condescending attitude left Li Dakang feeling utterly helpless.

This one-level difference is overwhelming.

Li Dakang was completely helpless.

"Secretary Dakang, don't worry, everything will be handled according to the laws and regulations!"

"But Chen Yanshi is blocking my office!"

They demanded that I resolve this matter, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get any work done!

He's a veteran with years of experience; I simply can't do anything with him!

Hearing Zhao Xia's indifferent and detached words, Li Dakang asked anxiously.

Zhao Xia raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Li Dakang was determined to drag himself into this matter.

"Secretary Dakang, are you out of options, or are you deliberately choosing to be out of options?"

Zhao Xia's tone suddenly turned cold.

Isn't he just Chen Yanshi?

This clearly shows that Li Dakang is afraid of Sha Ruijin.

Or perhaps it was out of respect for Sha Ruijin.

Therefore, they were unwilling to offend Chen Yanshi.

He brought it all upon himself that he couldn't work.

Even now, he's running up to me just to put on this act, wanting me to fight for him.

Are you kidding me?

Is Li Dakang trying to fool himself?

They thought that they had gotten to this position at such a young age because of their parents' legacy, rather than their own abilities!

"Governor Zhao, I can't hear you clearly!" Li Dakang felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Zhao Xia's eyes, which seemed to see right through people.

The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

They didn't even notice when a few drops spilled.

"Secretary Dakang, you don't need to perform this act today."

I'm leaving get off work now. Don't come to me for work reports unless it's something really important!

Regarding the matter in Jingzhou, Mayor Wu Xiongfei will return from his training at the Party School in a few days, and I will ask him directly.

"Xiao Chen, see the guest out!"
