In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

If the adjustments to Yi Xuexi, Xuexi, and the other two only caused heated discussions in the officialdom of Handong, then the fact that Chen Luo concurrently served as the secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee was a huge uproar!

Sun Liancheng, whose public notice period is about to end, has already handed over his work in Guangming District and will be heading to Luzhou to take up his new post in a couple of days. In fact, Sun Liancheng had been studying the style and temperament of Secretary Hu of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee in recent days, intending to get along well with the Party Secretary after arriving in Luzhou.

As a result, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City has now been replaced.

"No wonder...no wonder Secretary Chen said he was going to Luzhou, now that explains it all!"

With a sudden realization, Sun Liancheng's last worries vanished, and he was finally able to make a name for himself in Lüzhou!

Just as Sun Liancheng was feeling excited, his phone rang.

When I picked it up, I saw it was a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, this is Sun Liancheng. May I ask who you are?"

"Comrade Sun Liancheng, this is Chen Luo."

"Secretary Chen! It's you!"

Chen Luo sat in his office with a faint smile after just finishing a meeting.

"This is my private phone number. Comrade Liancheng, you will be taking up your post in Luzhou in a few days. As the Secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee, I need to let you know in advance."

Sun Liancheng stood ramrod straight at that moment.

"Secretary Chen, please speak, I'm listening!"

"No need to rush. Do you have some time now? If you're not busy, come to the Provincial Party Committee building. I'll be waiting for you in the office of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission."

"No rush, no rush, Secretary Chen, please wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo was very happy. Sun Liancheng sounded great, and with this kind of attitude, he would definitely be dedicated to his work in Luzhou, which met Chen Luo's expectations.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

At 2:20 p.m., Sun Liancheng arrived at the Provincial Party Committee building. After asking around, he went to the floor where the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was located. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he was greeted by Liu Mingyu.

"Mayor Sun, Secretary Chen is waiting for you!"

Liu Mingyu smiled broadly, and Sun Liancheng quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Director Bai!"

After saying that, Sun Liancheng arrived at Chen Luo's office and, mustering his courage, knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

After receiving approval, Sun Liancheng pushed open the door. Chen Luo's office was much more spacious and bright than his. Most importantly, the two national flags on the high-end and elegant desk were very impressive!

Ordinary cadres wouldn't dare to use the national flag in their offices.

"Comrade Liancheng is here? Please sit down and relax. This isn't a meeting between the Organization Department and you, so there's no need to be nervous."

Sun Liancheng smiled and nodded, then sat down respectfully in the chair opposite Chen Luo.

"Secretary Chen, to be honest, when Minister Wu talked to me a while ago, I didn't feel nervous at all. I just told the truth and reported on my work and thoughts."

But facing Secretary Chen, I always felt like I was showing off my skills in front of an expert, which is why I was nervous.

Chen Luo nodded, not dwelling on it.

"Comrade Liancheng, you're about to take up your post in Lüzhou. Have you been paying attention to Lüzhou lately?"

Sun Liancheng stood up to answer this question.

"Secretary Chen, ever since you reminded me at the amusement park last time, I have been paying close attention to the work in Lüzhou. It seems that Lüzhou is relatively stable under the leadership of Secretary Hu of the Municipal Party Committee in the past few years."

The industries are mostly labor-intensive and involved in reprocessing, finishing, and OEM manufacturing. Large-scale heavy industries are mainly focused on machine manufacturing. Meanwhile, the tertiary sector, including services, tourism, and finance, is relatively prosperous.

Currently, it is among the most economically advanced and rapidly modernizing countries in the country.

Aside from some basic issues, problems also exist. In the past few days, I have been paying attention to the Luzhou Municipal Government's plan for a 10,000-mu tea plantation, which is very inappropriate.

It feels a bit like a joke; it doesn't take a market-oriented approach and doesn't leverage the advantages of adapting to local conditions. I think there's a problem with this project.

Fortunately, the project was ultimately rejected by the provincial party committee.

Chen Luo nodded.

"It seems that you have some basic understanding of the situation in Lüzhou, Comrade Liancheng. The 10,000-mu tea plantation project you mentioned is the one that I opposed at the provincial party committee meeting."

The economic development of Luzhou, or even the whole country, is basically inseparable from one thing: real estate and manufacturing.

Real estate development in Luzhou has reached its limit, and the government's reliance on land sales for revenue is unsustainable.

At the same time, the international situation is complex and volatile, and manufacturing and processing are greatly affected by import and export and international political changes.

Luzhou still needs to develop its own distinctive industries and core technologies.

"Secretary Chen, you are absolutely right!"

I hadn't thought of these issues.

In terms of overall perspective, I still have much to learn from Secretary Chen!

Sun Liancheng's words had a hint of flattery. Of course, he wasn't unaware of the problems facing Luzhou, but he dared not say them. For example, in the real estate sector, Ding Yizhen had sold off all the land in Guangming District, and the district's finances were becoming more and more strained year by year.

These are issues that a newly promoted mayor like him is not qualified to discuss. Even Chen Luo can only carry out reforms within his own small territory of Luzhou.

"Studying is a matter for later. You will take office in three or four days. I, the secretary, will not be able to go to Luzhou for more than half a month. Comrade Liancheng, you can't just sit idly when you get to Luzhou in these ten days. I will give you some work suggestions."

"Secretary Chen, please speak!"

"Yes, if we want to make a name for ourselves and truly share the fruits of development with the people, we need to both make the pie bigger and distribute it fairly. Ultimately, this all comes down to the issue of personnel. If we use the right people, the problem is very simple. If we use the wrong people, even simple things will become complicated."

When you arrive in Lüzhou, first conduct a site visit and investigation of the personnel of the municipal government and its subordinate agencies. Record those grassroots cadres who truly pass the test of Party discipline and have real talent and ability. When I arrive in Lüzhou, be bold; these good cadres need to be promoted and given important positions!

Upon hearing this, Sun Liancheng trembled all over, feeling both disbelief and a little bit of fear.

Regarding personnel matters, it's best to let the government agencies conduct their own assessments and make their own recommendations; this gives you full authority!

If it wasn't a test of himself, then it was absolute confidence, and Chen Luo could naturally understand Sun Liancheng's thoughts.

He smiled faintly and said, "Comrade Liancheng, there's no need to get excited. I'm a person who judges by the matter, not by the person. As long as the cadres you recommend are all qualified in terms of Party principles and have real talent, I, as the Party Secretary of the Municipal Government, will definitely support the work of the Municipal Government!"

Of course, if there are problems, you can't protect yourself either.

Do you get me?"

Sun Liancheng nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

He understood. Giving him power didn't mean he could act recklessly. After all, Chen Luo was not only the municipal party secretary, but also a member of the provincial party committee standing committee and the secretary of the provincial political and legal committee. Not to mention other cadres in Luzhou, even if he, the mayor, dared to act recklessly, Chen Luo could easily deal with him!

Because they are not afraid, they are not wary, and therefore they can boldly delegate authority.

Sun Liancheng exhaled a heavy breath; he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being trusted by his superiors!
