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

Enraged, Zhou Jianjun finally exploded, slamming his hand on the table and standing up. Then, he pointed his index finger directly at Zhao Dagong's forehead!

"Zhao Dagong! Are you ever going to stop?! This is a provincial party committee meeting, not a vegetable market. Do you really think this is acceptable? I think you're deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, the governor!"

This was satisfying for everyone; that's how it should be—a struggle needs to be this spirited and exciting to be worth watching.

Chen Luo calmly reached out and picked up the cup on the table, took a small sip of tea, and without putting the cup down, leaned back slightly in his chair while still holding it.

Holding the cup in one hand and tapping the armrest with two fingers, a faint smile played on his lips. He exchanged a glance with Li Dakang across from him, and then they both nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Following suit, Tian Guofu, Wu Chunlin, Li Dakang, and Lu Zheng'an all raised their heads, placed their pens on the table, leaned back, and turned to look at Zhao Dagong and Zhou Jianjun.

Zhao Dagong's response was even more intense than everyone expected!

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, but instead of pointing at Zhou Jianjun, he straightened his executive jacket, looked calmly at everyone, and finally focused on Zhou Jianjun.

"Governor Jianjun, you've been slamming your fist on the table all the time lately. I'm curious, what's the point of slamming your fist on the table?"

I just tried it, and apart from my hands feeling itchy, I don't seem to feel anything else. I'll reply to you now!

I'm not trying to cause trouble for Governor Jianjun, nor am I deliberately picking a fight. I, Zhao Dagong, am a member of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and the Executive Vice Governor. I am sitting in this position to attend this meeting on behalf of the interests of tens of millions of people in Handong.

The truth becomes clearer through debate. In Governor Jianjun's eyes, do those street vendors who work from dawn till dusk not deserve to be treated well by our government?

Don't forget, our original aspiration is to serve the people, and they are the people too!

Governor Jianjun, do you know how hard these people you don't care about are living?

Most of them lack education and cannot get jobs in government agencies or companies.

The only thing we can do is set up a stall and do some hard labor to sell things and supplement our family income. Even so, some of our urban management officers are still relentless.

They rushed from East Street to West Street, from daytime to nighttime.

If the law enforcement is strict, all the goods on the stall will be confiscated and a fine will be imposed.

The people are not machines. Our provincial party committee cannot pretend not to know or see this. Governor Jianjun, if I may be so blunt, you have been out of touch with the people for quite some time!

They've forgotten the helplessness and sorrow of ordinary people!

Zhao Dagong looked heartbroken, and his last sentence was a fatal blow, leaving Zhou Jianjun, who was usually good at playing it safe and cautious, speechless.

This hat is too heavy!

He can't wear it, and he can't keep it on!

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Jianjun knew that arguing with Zhao Dagong was pointless; the other party was in the right, and even as the provincial governor, he couldn't be said to be wrong.

Zhou Jianjun slowly sat down and looked at everyone.

He then spoke.

"Secretary Ruijin, Secretary Yuliang, comrades, what Comrade Dagong just said was very insightful."

Of course, I don't think it's true that I've been out of touch with the masses for too long; it's just a friendly reminder.

Comrade Dagong hopes that I, as the governor, can earnestly work for the benefit of the people, and our provincial party committee must commend Comrade Dagong for this!

I have never said that street vendors are not an option; it's just that the provincial government is indeed short of funds recently and cannot provide hundreds of millions of yuan at once.

So, I'll state my position now: we can squeeze out more funding, and our government will have to endure some hardship for now.

The provincial government will definitely resolve these issues as soon as possible: standardized management of street vendors and humane enforcement by urban management departments!

Using the tactic of yielding to advance by retreating, Zhao Dagong could no longer use this as an excuse to nitpick, even though it was a bit embarrassing. He had gotten through this hurdle.

"Governor Jianjun, your understanding is excellent!"

Sha Ruijin picked up the conversation with a forced smile, but Zhou Jianjun didn't bother to respond. He thought Sha Ruijin's attack power was so-so, not even as good as one of Zhao Dagong's fingers.

Sha Ruijin didn't care that Zhou Jianjun was ignoring him; the situation in Handong was already out of control anyway...

"Ahem, now let's move on to the third topic. At the last meeting, we discussed the candidates for the Party Secretary and Mayor of Guangming District. Minister Chunlin has already instructed the staff of the Organization Department to conduct an investigation on Comrade Li Shangli."

However, this process needs to be shortened further. Guangming District cannot wait a month. I propose that Comrade Li Shangli be sent to Guangming District as soon as possible to stabilize the situation!

The group looked at each other, and no one had any reason to object. So, let's do it?

The happiest person was none other than Li Dakang.

"I agree with Secretary Sha's proposal!"

Li Dakang raised his hand enthusiastically, and his eagerness made Zhou Jianjun suspicious. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Li Dakang was one of his men.

However, Li Dakang clearly had more to say.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Jianjun, Secretary Yuliang, comrades, now that the Party Secretary of Guangming District has been chosen, shouldn't the candidate for District Head be decided as soon as possible?"

Li Dakang looked at everyone with an eager expression. Last time, he had originally planned to recommend the deputy secretary of the Guangming District Committee to take over the position of district head, but now the situation was different.

If the district head and party secretary are all recommended by others, then if something goes wrong, Li Dakang won't have to bear any leadership responsibility at all. Why not?

Everyone immediately realized that Li Dakang had given up on the person he had chosen last time. After all, it was a low-ranking official at the deputy director level, and everyone's thoughts began to wander.

Zhou Jianjun, in particular, knew that there was a risk in transferring Li Shangli to Guangming District of Jingzhou. He was likely to be used as a springboard to attack him. If the district head was against Li Shangli, it would undoubtedly increase this risk.

Therefore, the best-case scenario is that I can take over this deputy director-level Luobo Pit myself, making Guangming District a unified entity.

But are there any suitable candidates around him?

Zhou Jianjun pondered deeply, and suddenly he thought of his secretary, Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian had been with him for several years, and he couldn't keep her from being promoted to deputy director level. Wouldn't it be a win-win situation to send Xiao Tian to Guangming District as the district head?

Once this thought popped into my head, I couldn't stop it.

"Ahem, Comrade Dakang, are you not entirely satisfied with the candidate you recommended last time?"

Li Dakang was somewhat taken aback when he heard Zhou Jianjun's reply, but he still smiled and nodded.

"That's right, Governor Jianjun, do you have a candidate to recommend?"

"Yes, I do. My secretary, Xiao Tian, ​​has been working at the level of a full-fledged division chief for six years. She's very familiar with government work and is quite capable. Comrade Dakang, what do you think?"

Li Dakang burst out laughing upon hearing this; it was like a pillow being delivered just when he was about to fall asleep!

"Sure, sure! Of course, no problem! I trust Governor Jianjun's recommendation!"
