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

"Secretary Chen, Deputy Secretary Huang wants to see you!"

Upon hearing Liu Mingyu's voice, Chen Luo put down the documents in his hand and then calmly said, "Let Deputy Secretary Huang in."

Soon, Huang Ming walked into the office.

As soon as he entered, Huang Ming stood up straight.

Unlike usual, he did not choose to sit down.

Chen Luo looked at Huang Ming and saw that Huang Ming's face was not smiling at all, but full of tension and apprehension.

"Secretary Chen!"

As soon as Huang Ming spoke, Chen Luo knew that he wanted something from him. He chuckled and then pointed to the chair in front of him.

"Huang Ming, sit down and talk about whatever it is. What kind of behavior is this, standing like this? You are the president of the High Court or the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. You don't need to be so reserved."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ming took a deep breath before sitting down.

"Secretary Chen, I've come to ask you for a favor."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

"Secretary Chen, regarding Chen Hai's matter, I wonder how the Provincial Committee plans to handle him?"

Chen Luo shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

"This matter is not yet settled, but a vote will be held at the Standing Committee meeting later."

The meaning is clear: nothing has been decided yet.

"Secretary Chen, I won't lie to you, Chen Hai is still my brother-in-law after all. Although Chen Yang hasn't had any contact with him for over ten years, as his brother-in-law, I can't just stand by and watch my brother-in-law..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo understood.

"You want me to say something on his behalf?"

"Secretary Chen, all we need is for Chen Hai to land safely in the end. He's not suited for power struggles..."

"I understand. You want me to remove Chen Hai from the position of district head and move him to a more suitable position?"

What do you think, Department of Justice?

Chen Luo spoke calmly, but Huang Ming was extremely excited; this was exactly what he wanted.

"Secretary Chen, wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

Chen Luo rolled his eyes.

"You knew it would be troublesome, so why did you ask? Even if you asked, I'd still have to think of a way to help you, right? Besides, Chen Hai isn't a bad person at heart."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ming smiled awkwardly.

"Alright, stop standing there. Everything's been said. Now, give me a report on the work of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission during this period."

"Okay! Secretary Chen, recently the Political and Legal Affairs Commission..."

At noon, Huang Ming left.

Watching Huang Ming's departing figure, Chen Luo maintained his warm smile.

The reason for agreeing to Huang Ming's request is quite simple. First, it does not violate principles. If nothing unexpected happens, Governor Zhou Jianjun would not let Chen Hai off the hook. In other words, he would only give him a demerit and transfer him away from the front line.

Furthermore, Huang Ming is usually very conscientious and responsible at work, and he doesn't have any other requirements. If Chen Luo just stands by and does nothing about this, it will inevitably make people feel disheartened.

Shaking his head, he realized that it was already 2:40 PM.

The small meeting room of the Provincial Party Committee.

Everyone had arrived, and only Zhou Jianjun and Sha Ruijin were left to push open the door and enter.

Zhou Jianjun looked rather unwell today. He hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days and knew very well that an attack was imminent.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Jianjun keenly noticed the flame in Zhao Dagong's eyes beside him.

"Comrades, are you all clear about today's topic? The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has now investigated Chen Hai's case and found that he abused his power."

Let's all discuss how to handle this!

Sha Ruijin started the conversation, and Zhou Jianjun was the first to speak.

"I will first submit a self-criticism to the Provincial Party Committee!"

Zhou Jianjun was quite clear that it was better to take the initiative than to wait for others to raise their questions.

"At the last Standing Committee meeting, I assured the Provincial Party Committee that Comrade Chen Hai could not possibly have any corruption issues."

It's true that I didn't think things through, but the main reason is that I haven't been in Handong for long and don't have a thorough understanding of the cadres there.

Of course, Chen Hai's question also taught me a vivid lesson; I still need to further understand the situation of the cadres in Handong!

In just a few words, Zhou Jianjun summarized his problem as a lack of in-depth understanding. Chen Luo and the others watched calmly, the reason being, of course, that someone would make a move!

"Ahem, I disagree with Governor Jianjun's statement."

Governor Jianjun arrived in Handong after Comrade Qi Quansheng and I. If we're talking about understanding the cadres in Handong, Governor Jianjun should have a deeper understanding than we do.

I mentioned at the last Standing Committee meeting that Chen Hai has serious problems and should not be allowed to continue serving as the head of Guangming District. But Governor Jianjun, your attitude is very firm!

Is it so easy to make a promise like that?

Now that the issue has been raised, how can it be convincing to use the excuse of a lack of in-depth understanding of the cadres to evade it?

Just as Zhao Dagong finished speaking, Qi Shisheng took over the conversation.

"For the governor who is building an army, seeking truth from facts is very important!"

Our cadres cannot see their own shortcomings and then try to cover them up with other methods.

Governor Jianjun could simply admit that he had problems with his judgment in choosing and appointing people.

We are all key leaders of the provincial government.

"In the future, we can simply offer more suggestions to Governor Jianjun; there's no need to be so secretive."

Qi Quansheng and Zhao Dagong, working in unison, were trying to set the tone that Zhou Jianjun had problems with his judgment and use of people!

This is the most fatal problem for a leader!

"Nonsense!"

Zhou Jianjun couldn't possibly let Zhao Dagong and Qi Quansheng pin the blame on him like this.

"Comrade Dagong, Comrade Qi Quansheng, no one is perfect. I admit that I bear some responsibility for Chen Hai's problem, but to say that I can recognize and use people is completely unreasonable."

After speaking, Zhou Jianjun looked at Chen Luo.

"When Comrade Chen Luo was the mayor of Suzhou, didn't I govern the entire city of Suzhou quite well? I had no problem in recognizing and appointing people; if I did, it was only because I appointed the wrong people when the situation was unclear."

Comrade Dagong, don't just jump to conclusions!

At this moment, Sha Ruijin spoke up.

"Don't get excited, Governor Jianjun. Speaking freely and maintaining democracy is a good style of our meetings. Comrade Dagong and Comrade Qi Quansheng should just clarify their different opinions."

Besides, Chen Hai's problems aren't that serious. It's perfectly normal for Governor Jianjun to have flawed judgment in judging people. Our provincial committee is tolerant of Governor Jianjun!

These words made Zhou Jianjun grit his teeth. It just goes to show that he had a problem with his judgment in choosing people, right?

"Comrades Dagong, if you have anything else to say, then say it all. This is a good opportunity for me to hear how you are dissatisfied with me!"

Zhou Jianjun was also angry and made the conflict public, while Zhao Dagong just shook his head with a light laugh.

"Governor Jianjun, please don't misunderstand. What complaints do we have? Truth becomes clearer through debate. We just want Governor Jianjun to pay attention to the problems he has, after all, you are the governor and the leader of the provincial government."

Only when you deeply understand your own problems can you better lead us to serve the people!
