Official statement: Tongwei is dead! You chose Ruijin, didn't you?

At this critical juncture, when everything is frozen and everyone is in danger,

But there was one spot that was so hot it burned your bottom—

Governor of Handong Province.

Liu Ruian is retiring.

The news spread like wildfire, transforming from a rumor into a semi-public secret.

In the provincial party committee compound, although people didn't dare to ask "who will succeed" directly when they met, they were all frantically probing in their conversations.

"Governor Liu looks quite well lately. Is he about to enjoy his retirement?"

"Is the handover pressure on the provincial government significant?"

"Who will take the lead in the next phase of economic development?"

No one dared to mention Li Dakang's name, but everyone's eyes kept glancing in the direction of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

...

At 10:00 AM, the provincial government held an executive meeting.

Liu Ruian remained calm and composed, continuing to preside over the meeting as usual.

The members of the provincial government leadership sat in a circle.

Li Dakang was unusually low-key today, with a notebook spread out in front of him, head down, and pen scribbling away.

He set a strict rule for himself today: no interrupting, no standing out, no talking about macroeconomics, and no talking about "responsibility." His main motto was "I am transparent."

When Liu Ruian talks about economics, he takes notes on economics; when Liu Ruian talks about risk, he takes notes on risk.

Her well-behaved appearance was even more obedient than that of a newly appointed civil servant intern.

After Liu Ruian finished explaining the first phase, he picked up his thermos, took a sip of water, and his gaze fell on Li Dakang.

"Comrade Dakang, as the provincial capital, Jingzhou bears the heaviest responsibility in maintaining its economic foundation. Why don't you say a few words?"

Li Dakang's heart skipped a beat.

coming.

During such a sensitive period, if he were to speak in public, even a slight leak could be interpreted as sending 108 different political signals.

He cleared his throat, slowly raised his head, and looked as serious as if he were giving a self-criticism.

"Governor Liu, Jingzhou is determined to implement the arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. At present, we have only three priorities: first, to ensure stable operation and employment, and never cause trouble; second, to cooperate with the supervision team in the land investigation, without covering up shortcomings or embarrassment; and third, to deal with historical projects in a classified manner, and never delay the resolution of conflicts."

After saying that, he put his hands on the table and shut up.

Liu Ruian raised an eyebrow: "That's it? What's next?"

Li Dakang paused, then said firmly, "No more."

In the conference room, several officials looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

What was Li Dakang's style when he gave speeches at meetings in the past?

They practically wanted to throw Jingzhou's GDP report in other people's faces, constantly calling themselves "reform pioneers" and "blazing a trail through blood."

The Jingzhou experience is eager to be promoted throughout the entire universe immediately.

Are these three for today?

This isn't Li Dakang at all, this is practically Li Kang the cowardly turtle!

Liu Ruian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Comrade Dakang, you're very restrained today."

Li Dakang remained unfazed and earnestly followed up: "I've received a lot of education lately and have come to realize that talking too much can easily lead to a lack of rigor. It's more important to be down-to-earth and do the work thoroughly."

A deputy provincial official next to him couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed loudly, almost bursting out laughing.

Liu Ruian didn't expose it.

He knew perfectly well that Li Dakang wasn't suddenly enlightened; he was just terrified by the guillotine hanging over his head from the Central Supervision Group.

The fact that the supervisory team could scare Li Dakang into shutting up shows just how powerful they are.

After the meeting, Liu Ruian waved his hand and said, "Comrade Dakang, please stay behind."

The large conference room was quickly emptied, leaving only the two of them.

Liu Ruian personally walked to the water dispenser, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Li Dakang: "Dakang, sit down."

Li Dakang quickly accepted the cup with both hands: "Thank you, Governor."

Liu Ruian sat back down in his chair, looking at him with a deep gaze, and suddenly blurted out, "Did Old Bai call you?"

Li Dakang's heart sank, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

This news spread way too fast!

Even Liu Ruian, who is about to retire, knows about this, so the supervisory team and Lu Chengzhou must have been scrutinizing him with a microscope for a long time!
