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

Most of the Standing Committee members in Handong were already used to Chen Luo's trip to Beijing.

However, some people were unhappy.

In the governor's office, Zhou Jianjun frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"What is Chen Luo up to? He went to the higher-ups without even informing our provincial party committee, bypassing the provincial party committee to connect with the higher-ups on his own. It's utterly disorganized and undisciplined!"

Zhou Jianjun felt that Chen Luo shouldn't have acted this way. To put it bluntly, wasn't this a blatant disregard for the Provincial Party Committee?

That alone wouldn't be enough to stimulate his nerves.

More importantly, starting yesterday, Wednesday, a steady stream of military trucks have been traveling from the coast into Luzhou.

Upon entering the Luzhou Industrial Park, it turned out that this provincial governor had absolutely no idea about the situation there.

How can this be allowed?

On Friday, the provincial party committee held a meeting. The theme of the meeting was the upcoming opening of the Luzhou Industrial Park. However, the transportation infrastructure of the Luzhou Highway is still very weak. Chen Luo wanted to propose to the provincial party committee to add two more highways.

Of course, other departments also have their own proposals.

The meeting was convened soon afterward.

As soon as Chen Luo sat down, Tian Guofu leaned closer and whispered, "Secretary Chen, I heard that Governor Zhou isn't too happy about the situation in Luzhou. Later..."

What does "not very happy" mean?

Chen Luo frowned.

"Alas, Luzhou was originally one of the twin cities of Handong, and it used to pay taxes to the provincial government every year."

As a result, after you arrived, the provincial government changed its fiscal structure to a secondary level, which directly cut off the provincial government's source of revenue.

With the arrival of various military vehicles in Luzhou these past few days, Governor Zhou felt he was being provoked…

Tian Guofu had gone to great lengths to obtain this information, and he knew it would be useful to Chen Luo. Didn't he see that Chen Luo was already frowning and not saying a word?

Soon, Governor Zhou Jianjun and Party Secretary Sha Ruijin arrived.

"Comrades, the first item on the agenda is for Comrade Chen Luo to speak on the highway construction proposal submitted by Lüzhou."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo adjusted his posture.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Zhou, Secretary Yuliang, comrades, the industrial park in Luzhou has been completed and industries are gradually moving in. Production has not yet started, but transportation will become a major problem when production begins."

If these two expressways can connect with the major expressways passing through Handong, allowing Luzhou's industrial products to be delivered to the rest of the country more quickly, Luzhou needs policy support from the provincial party committee.

Chen Luo's meaning was simple: Luzhou wanted to build two expressways, and the provincial party committee didn't need to pay for them; they just needed some policy support to help Luzhou build them as quickly as possible.

Others had no objections, of course, but Zhou Jianjun just couldn't stand Chen Luo's nonchalant attitude.

"Comrade Chen Luo, I would like to ask, what are the military vehicles that have been frequently entering and leaving the Luzhou Industrial Park carrying recently? Is this also being kept secret from our Provincial Party Committee?"

And a few days ago, you went directly to report your work to the higher authorities without the approval of the provincial party committee. Isn't that unreasonable?

As for highways, road construction is a good thing in itself, but Luzhou has recently been undertaking large-scale infrastructure projects and industrial parks. Can the financial pressure handle it?

"Don't let the provincial government have to support you again later. If something really goes wrong, the provincial government won't clean up the mess for Luzhou!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo realized that this was a deliberate attempt to cause trouble.

"Governor Jianjun, thank you for your concern. Let me first answer your first question. The items that military trucks are currently delivering to the Luzhou Industrial Park are classified. Even Governor Zhou, at your level, is not qualified to inquire about them!"

Secondly, the reason I went to the higher-ups to coordinate this work was for this confidential work. Secretary Sha should be aware that we didn't report to the Provincial Party Committee. It also falls under the category of confidentiality. Governor Jianjun felt that I also had to report these confidential contents to the Provincial Party Committee.

Or do you mean I need to report to Governor Zhou in person? That would be a bit difficult for me. I've always emphasized following the rules and regulations. I'm a law-abiding person and really don't want to violate this principle.

As for the expressway, the provincial government doesn't need to worry about it. Just two months ago, the central government allocated 200 billion yuan in special funds for the development of Luzhou, so Luzhou's finances are quite sufficient!

"puff!"

Tian Guofu, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing. Chen Luo kept keeping it a secret, and if Zhou Jianjun continued to press on the topic, he would be suspected of being a spy. But if he didn't ask, wouldn't he be left speechless?

There are also 200 billion yuan in special development funds. Just hearing this number made Zhou Jianjun insanely jealous.

The other standing committee members understood perfectly. They knew that behind the Luzhou project was at least a second-ranking official. Trying to profit from the chaos would only backfire, so they all adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

The most expressive characters were Zhao Dagong and Qi Quansheng, as they were experiencing the grandeur of Lüzhou for the first time.

"Comrade Jianjun, the project in Luzhou Industrial Park is indeed still a classified project. Even I, as the secretary, don't know the types of companies that have been introduced. It's normal that you don't know either."

Sarrijin is good at finishing off enemies.

However, while Zhou Jianjun may not excel in other areas, his patience is absolutely top-notch.

"Oh? Is that so? It seems I misunderstood Comrade Chen Luo. Oh well, it's not my fault."

Since I just arrived in Handong and wanted to ask everyone about the situation there, I realized that everyone was too busy with work to ask.

Some people even hang up on you without answering the phone; it's perfectly normal not to know the situation.

Everyone was speechless. How could they be so shameless?

However, Zhou Jianjun's primary concern was not Sha Ruijin, but Zhao Dagong. When Zhao Dagong noticed Zhou Jianjun's shameless nature, his desire to become the governor intensified.

Of course, we still need to lie low and wait for the right opportunity.

After the meeting, when it was other people's turn to speak, Chen Luo went straight home without lingering for a second after the meeting ended.

He is very busy with work. All kinds of work in Luzhou will be running like a machine. He will try to spend as much time as possible with his family.

As for Zhou Jianjun's targeting, to be honest, Chen Luo didn't take it seriously at all.

Intrigue and trickery will not accomplish anything great.

However, Chen Luo ignoring Zhou Jianjun doesn't mean that others have the same confidence to say no.

On Saturday, Zhou Jianjun went directly to the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province. His arrival made Yun Haifeng, the director of the bureau, feel uneasy. In theory, the Provincial Public Security Bureau is under the dual management of the Provincial Government and the Ministry of Public Security. Now that the governor has come, Yun Haifeng can't avoid him and can only bite the bullet to welcome him.

"Governor Zhou, welcome to the Provincial Department!"

Standing at the gate, Yun Haifeng first stood at attention and saluted Governor Zhou as he walked in, then stretched out his hands and jogged forward to shake hands.

Zhou Jianjun responded with his usual fake smile.

"Comrade Haifeng, has the Provincial Public Security Department been very busy lately? I've been in Handong for almost a month now, and I haven't seen Comrade Haifeng come to the Provincial Government to report on his work. That's why I took some time to come and see what's going on."

These words silenced Yun Haifeng.
