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

Generally speaking, it is taboo for Standing Committee members to hold private gatherings, as the higher authorities do not want to see a harmonious and united provincial committee.

Although Chen Luo, Li Dakang, Tian Guofu, and Wu Chunlin occasionally get together, they generally don't go to private places outside; they just walk and chat together after meetings.

The number of times I went outside can be counted on one hand.

Now, with the addition of Zhao Dagong and Qi Quansheng, that makes seven people, more than half. In other provinces, the Party Secretary and Governor would have already exploded.

But the situation in Handong is a bit special. Now everyone is not very afraid of the top two leaders, because Zhao Dagong has undermined their authority.

"Secretary Yuliang, isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate?"

Deep down, Zhao Dagong wanted to exchange ideas with Chen Luo and the others, since his goals didn't conflict with theirs and they had a basis for cooperation.

Gao Yuliang smiled faintly.

"It's alright. I'll be retiring in a few months. Before I retire, I can easily treat all of you former colleagues to a meal as a farewell gift!"

That's a very sophisticated statement.

Gao Yuliang positioned himself as the organizer, aiming to say goodbye to his colleagues before retiring. He figured his superiors wouldn't say anything even if they found out, since Gao Yuliang was indeed retiring soon.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since Gao Yuliang has already covered all the risks, what is there to worry about?

"Secretary Yuliang, let's go together!"

Seven people don't mean seven cars, but four vehicles.

Gao Yuliang owns one car, Chen Luotian and Guo Fu each own one car, Li Dakang and Wu Chunlin each own one car, and Qi Quansheng and Zhao Dagong each own one car.

However, the license plate was indeed quite eye-catching...

Han O.00003, Han O.00007, Han O.00009, Han O.00008.

One was Gao Yuliang's official car, another was Chen Luo's car number seven, the eighth car belonged to Zhao Dagong, and the ninth car belonged to Li Dakang. The four black Audi cars left the Provincial Party Committee in this way.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret from others.

Inside the secretary's office, Sha Ruijin was indifferent to the news, and even felt that it wasn't a bad thing.

Anyone with eyes to see could tell that Zhao Dagong had his eye on Zhou Jianjun, and Sha Ruijin was all too aware of Zhao Dagong's offensive capabilities.

If Zhao Dagong were more confident...

Compared to Sha Ruijin, Zhou Jianjun was very angry.

"What? Xiao Tian, ​​you mean Zhao Dagong and Gao Yuliang, along with all seven other Standing Committee members, went out together?"

"Yes, leader. I heard it was Secretary Yuliang who invited us. He said he's about to retire and wanted to get together with a few other people to say goodbye."

Hearing this, Zhou Jianjun's lips twitched. Such words might fool a ghost.

"Fuck you!"

Feeling extremely frustrated, Zhou Jianjun finally swore; he really couldn't hold back anymore.

"What is Gao Yuliang up to?! Isn't he deliberately causing trouble?"

"Xiaotian, where are they now? Find out for me and report back immediately!"

"It's the leader!"

Unlike Zhou Jianjun's anxiety, Chen Luo and his group of seven drove directly to the busiest pedestrian street in Jingzhou.

After getting off the bus, the seven people did not rush to sit down and talk about "business." Instead, they planned to take a look at the development of Handong and stroll around to relax.

The pedestrian street was crowded, and Chen Luo and his group of seven walked slowly, mostly staying close together, while their secretaries followed behind with wary eyes.

"Secretary Dakang, this pedestrian street is really well-built! It's very lively, especially the street vendors, which add a touch of everyday life!"

Chen Luo had a positive attitude towards this.

In the past two years, the campaign to create civilized cities has led to some places taking a more aggressive approach to management, adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. As a result, the streets are clean and tidy, but all the street vendors have disappeared, and these jobs are not to be underestimated!

How can you act so recklessly?

"Secretary Chen, I also think we can't take a one-size-fits-all approach. These street vendors have it tough too, working from dawn till dusk. People just want to earn some money. Our cadres can't be out of touch with reality; we need to understand the hardships these people face."

Within the Jingzhou area, I've basically set up standardized stalls, forming food streets. The fixed stalls and low rents have allowed even street vendors to thrive.

"Secretary Dakang did a great job! The street vendor economy is still an economy, and it's an important supplement to the vibrancy of a city. Other places in Handong should also loosen the restrictions on the people."

Gao Yuliang picked up the conversation, and then Zhao Dagong expressed his opinion.

"Secretary Yuliang, Secretary Dakang, Secretary Chen, your opinions are very important. It's true that you only know the problems when you go down to the grassroots level. Is Lao Qi currently in charge of the urban management department?"

"Look, Secretary Yuliang, Secretary Chen, and Secretary Dakang have all agreed. Shouldn't the other cities and prefectures in Handong follow suit?"

Qi Quansheng rolled his eyes. Is this even a big deal?

"No problem, I'll have the General Office issue a document to the local authorities on Monday to provide guidance."

During their conversation, the group finalized a decision!

While they were chatting, Chen Luo spotted an acquaintance.

Walking towards me was Li Weiwei, whom I had met at the airport a while ago, holding a cup of milk tea and sipping it slowly.

Li Weiwei was a little confused when she saw Chen Luo.

She already knew Chen Luo's identity, and the vast difference in their backgrounds made her afraid to go up and greet him.

However, Chen Luo is different.

"Li, you didn't even say hello when we met?"

As soon as Chen Luo spoke, he drew the attention of Gao Yuliang and the others to Li Weiwei.

"Hello, Secretary Chen!"

Li Weiwei blushed, held the milk tea in her hand, and bowed ninety degrees to Chen Luo.

"Haha, don't be so polite, just call me Brother Luo. By the way, where are your other classmates?"

Chen Luo asked, while Li Weiwei sighed and shook her head.

"They didn't pass the interviews... so they went back."

Li Weiwei sounded a little sad, after all, out of the six people who came to Handong, only she was the one who passed the interview.

"So you're all alone in Handong now?"

"That's how it is for now. There are still two months before school starts, so I'm planning to do a part-time job in Handong..."

"Found it?"

"not yet……"

Gao Yuliang and the others watched with great interest and did not interrupt. Perhaps it is because they were getting older that they unconsciously gave the younger generation some time.

Have you eaten yet?

When Chen Luo asked again, Li Weiwei first shook her head, then nodded.

Chen Luo was speechless. The girl was just too shy.

"Little Li, if you haven't eaten, just say so! We've been looking for a place to grab a bite anyway. Come on, let's go together. You're the pillar of the future, you can't keep going hungry like this."

Li Weiwei was even more confused when Gao Yuliang spoke.

Looking up at the crowd, she realized that Luo Ge and the others she knew all possessed an indescribable air of nobility.

I wanted to refuse, but the pressure was too great, and I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Chen Luo and the others laughed when they saw this.

"Little Li, let's go. Others would be desperate to have a meal with us, but they'd never get the chance."

You're the first lucky one!

What Tian Guofu said is absolutely true!
