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

Sitting in the head seat, Sha Ruijin looked around and finally settled his gaze on Chen Luo.

"Comrade Chen Luo, there are several topics to be discussed at this meeting in Luzhou. Why don't you give a brief overview?"

After nodding, Chen Luo spoke directly: "Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, Secretary Yu Liang, comrades."

As you all know, I went to Beijing yesterday. I can't share the specific content of the conversation, but several major projects will be launched in Luzhou soon.

The first thing is the application for an industrial park. Originally, I only planned to apply for a provincial-level industrial park.

However, yesterday the higher-ups said the vision was too narrow and asked me to upgrade the provincial-level industrial park to a national-level industrial park and submit the proposal. This requires a vote from our provincial party committee first.

Gao Yuliang frowned as he listened.

Looking at the industrial park plan that Chen Luo handed over, the section on industrial structure and industries to be introduced had the word "confidential" written in big letters, leaving him speechless.

If most people dared to present it like that, he would be the first to reject it.

It just so happened that it was Chen Luo who handed it over, and he even went to Beijing to report it to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission.

"Comrade Chen Luo, we theoretically agree with the construction of the industrial park. However, your project proposal states that the companies and industries to be introduced are currently confidential. Could you please explain this to us?"

Gao Yuliang voiced his doubts.

Sha Ruijin and the other members of the Standing Committee also became interested.

They all understood that Chen Luo wouldn't speak without reason, but they still wanted to know the general idea.

Chen Luo shook his head at the question.

"I'm sorry, Secretary Yuliang, but the specific information regarding the companies and industries to be introduced is currently confidential. This was personally instructed by Elder Li of the State Council, and I cannot disclose it at this time."

When the name "Old Li" from the State Council was uttered, everyone was stunned.

We all shared the same thought: even though we're not brothers, we're all striving to climb the ladder.

So, Chen Luo, you quietly got involved with Old Li's K2? Doesn't that make us look stupid?

Of course, what's on your mind can't be said out loud.

There was a brief silence among the crowd.

"Since it's confidential, there's no need to ask any further questions. Comrades, let's now proceed with the vote!"

Sha Ruijin made the decision immediately, bringing everyone back to their senses.

"I agree!"

As soon as Sha Ruijin finished speaking, Governor Liu raised his hand.

Seeing this, Sha Ruijin followed suit, jokingly saying, "Since Old Li has already brought this up, who would dare to disagree?"

"Okay, unanimously approved!"

Comrade Chen Luo, please continue.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo nodded.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, Secretary Yuliang, the second proposal is to build a university in Lüzhou. It will be a private university for now, and it needs approval from our provincial party committee before being submitted to the Ministry of Education. This university is crucial for the development of the industrial park, and construction needs to begin immediately!"

Upon hearing this, everyone picked up the project proposal and began to read it.

It was Gao Yuliang who raised the question again.

"Comrade Chen Luo, I see that the investor is Dongsheng Investment. If I remember correctly, Dongsheng Investment is your and your wife's company, right?"

And the initial investment was 40 billion! Is this figure accurate?

In an instant, everyone's gaze turned serious.

They had all heard about Chen Luo and Zhang Nian having businesses, but they never imagined that Dong Sheng was so rich.

"Secretary Yuliang, you are right. My wife is currently the chairman of Dongsheng Investment Company, which is one of the things I reported to Beijing."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Since the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission hadn't said anything else, they naturally wouldn't hold a grudge.

"The 40 billion is the initial investment, and there will be no less than 10 billion in continuous investment every year in the future."

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Li Dakang gasped in astonishment. "Damn, he's got money!" he thought. "If this money were given to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government, it would be unbelievable."

Sha Ruijin has a broad vision. He doesn't care whose money it is, as long as it's invested in Handong, it's a good thing. Even if it's 40 billion or 400 billion, Sha Ruijin wouldn't object!

"Comrade Chen Luo has answered all the questions that everyone wanted to ask. Since it has already been reported to the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervisory Commission, our Provincial Party Committee naturally supports it in theory, because education is the foundation of national prosperity."

Comrade Chen Luo, your support for the development of education is commendable, and our provincial party committee cannot lag behind. I will, on behalf of the provincial party committee, recommend to the Ministry of Education that the review and approval process be expedited.

"Thank you, Secretary Sha!"

Chen Luo responded with a smile. Although he could get approval instantly without Sha Ruijin pulling strings, he was willing to thank Sha Ruijin for his support. Many hands make light work, after all.

The final vote was unanimously in favor. Putting aside the fact that developing education is a good thing, there was no reason for anyone to oppose Chen Luo's proposal because it did not require Handong to contribute a single penny.

Next came Chen Luo's personnel adjustments regarding some provincial-level cadres in Lüzhou, only two or three in total, and the process was very rapid.

Now that Chen Luo's story is finished, it's everyone else's turn.

"Comrade Dakang, how is the matter regarding the shareholding dispute between Dafeng Factory and Shanshui Group being handled?"

Sha Ruijin asked, and Li Dakang replied righteously, "Secretary Sha, I held a special meeting to discuss this issue some time ago, and the solutions were all explained."

As a result, Comrade Yi Xuexi, the vice mayor of Jingzhou City and secretary of the Guangming District Committee, and Comrade Chen Hai, the mayor of Guangming District, insisted that my plan disregarded the lives and deaths of the workers and the interests of the people. At the meeting, they directly took on the task of handling the shareholding dispute between Dafeng Factory and Shanshui Group.

I'm not entirely sure about the current progress. Every time I call to inquire, Comrade Yi Xuexi says it'll be done soon...

Li Dakang's intention to shift the blame was very clear, while Sha Ruijin looked rather unpleasant. What was Yi Xuexi up to?

Having Yi Xuexi supervise Li Dakang does not mean that Yi Xuexi can act lawlessly and recklessly.

The key is that Sha Ruijin can't say anything else right now, since Yi Xuexi was promoted by him personally.

"In that case, the shareholding dispute between Dafeng Factory and Shanshui Group can't be dragged on any longer. Go back and tell Yi Xuexi to handle it as soon as possible. Guangmingfeng's investment of tens of billions can't be delayed, and we can't afford to delay it. We can't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch."

This is a veiled warning to Li Dakang: stop trying to shift blame; the Guangmingfeng project cannot be affected.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Dakang's face gradually disappeared.

"Please rest assured, Secretary Sha, I'll personally make the trip after the meeting!"

Next came reports on personnel adjustments and other matters, and it quickly became four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Alright, let's end the meeting here."

Meeting adjourned!

Sha Ruijin stood up, and everyone else followed suit, getting up from their seats.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Li Dakang called Yi Xuexi loudly, but Chen Luo had no interest in listening.

I've finished my work at the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. I'll head back to Luzhou tomorrow morning and then leave again. It's time to go home and enjoy the warmth of family. No matter how busy I am at work, I have to balance family and work.
