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

Zhou Jianjun was delighted by these words.

That's it! That's the taste! This is the true status of Governor Zhou Jianjun!

However, it was clear that Zhao Dagong would not let Zhou Jianjun get his way so easily.

He gestured to Qi Quansheng with his eyes, the meaning was clear: I was in charge of the first wave of positional warfare, now it's your turn.

Qi Quansheng raised an eyebrow, understanding perfectly.

He moved closer to the microphone.

"Governor Jianjun, your secretary, Comrade Tian Jingye, has never actually worked at the grassroots level, nor does he have experience as a township secretary, county head, or county party secretary. To rashly promote him to head of Guangming District... if something goes wrong, whose fault will it be?"

Nima!

Zhou Jianjun's smile vanished abruptly. He knew it wouldn't be that easy, and he glared at Qi Quansheng with annoyance.

"I understand what Comrade Quansheng means. Secretary Xiaotian does lack grassroots work experience, but that can be cultivated gradually. As for who will be responsible if problems arise, I am the recommender. As the governor, I will take responsibility for any issues, okay?"

Even a fool could tell what Qi Quansheng was up to, but he didn't care anymore. Taking on one responsibility was the same as taking on two; having too many lice didn't make him itchy.

Seeing that Zhou Jianjun was so sensible, Qi Quansheng could only swallow all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"OK!"

A thousand words can be summed up in a single word.

"Comrades, let's proceed with the vote!"

Sha Ruijin broke the eerie atmosphere at just the right moment.

Swish, swish, swish, ten votes in favor, three abstentions. The abstentions were from Lu Zheng'an, Chen Luo, and Li Dakang.

In fact, Tian Guofu and Wu Chunlin also wanted to abstain, but their positions did not allow them to vote in that way.

If both the organization department and the secretary of the discipline inspection commission abstained, then this personnel vote is problematic, and the higher authorities will not allow this to happen!

"That concludes today's meeting. Meeting adjourned!"

With his final words, "Meeting adjourned," Sha Ruijin spoke with great vigor and his movements were also very assertive. He stood up, pulled out his chair, and strode out of the meeting room, becoming the first to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Luo finally sat up straight, then got up, grabbed his cup, and was the second to leave the meeting room.

Only two minutes after he left the meeting room, Li Dakang, Tian Guofu, and Wu Chunlin approached him, along with Gao Yuliang and Lu Zheng'an.

"The Standing Committee meetings have been quite lively lately!"

Gao Yuliang started the conversation.

Chen Luo immediately responded, "It's certainly lively, but it's a pity I forgot to buy two bags of melon seeds to carry with me. I can only drink tea to pass the time."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone laughed when he said that.

"It's getting hot, so I think we should suggest that Secretary-General Qian prepare two slices of watermelon for the meeting."

If I get thirsty or hungry, I'll just have a slice. Watermelon is cheap; I asked yesterday, and it's 80 cents a pound. The provincial government doesn't need to pay for it; I'll cover the difference myself!

Tian Guofu joked, while Li Dakang retorted, "If the higher-ups knew we were eating watermelon at the Handong Standing Committee meeting, wouldn't they give each of us three lashes on the buttocks until they were raw?"

"Ahem, keep it low-key, if all else fails, just secretly slip a couple of handfuls of sunflower seeds into your pocket, peel them with your hands, and put them in your mouth without making a sound."

"That's a great idea!"

Joking and laughing along the way, the group arrived at the exit of the provincial party committee building and then went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding this meeting also stirred up waves throughout Handong!

Around 5 p.m., the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the Provincial Publicity Department jointly issued a notice on the formation of a joint investigation team to be stationed in the discipline inspection commissions of various cities and counties in Handong.

The notice clearly states that Handong will form twelve investigation teams, composed of cadres drawn from the General Office, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Publicity Department, the Provincial Public Security Department, the Provincial Procuratorate, the Provincial Higher People's Court, and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office, to thoroughly eliminate corrupt elements within the discipline inspection departments of prefecture-level cities, counties, and government agencies.

This was a powerful blow, and it was done openly, blatantly telling the disciplinary authorities that they were serious and that their will prevailed.

However, some people saw an opportunity.

In the office of the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate, Hou Liangping was sitting in a chair reviewing documents when the door was pushed open, and the Chief Procurator, Ji Changming, entered.

"Quarterly inspection?"

Upon seeing this, Hou Liangping quickly stood up to offer him his seat, but Ji Changming smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.

"Liangping, we have just received a notice jointly issued by the Provincial Party Committee Office and several other departments. The notice calls for the formation of several joint investigation teams to be stationed in the discipline inspection commissions of various cities and counties in Handong to eliminate the corrupt elements within these commissions. This shows great determination."

Similarly, if you can achieve results, your superiors will easily remember you. Liangping, I'm about to retire, and to be honest, you haven't had any outstanding achievements during your time in Handong.

This is an opportunity, and I'd like to recommend you to lead one of the investigation teams. Are you interested?

Hou Liangping was completely stunned.

"Quarterly inspections? What about the anti-corruption bureau's work?"

"I'll keep an eye on things for you during this time; nothing will go wrong."

"Okay! I'll go then! Thank you for the quarterly inspection!"

"It's alright. I'm retiring soon. This is the last thing I can do for you. Make the most of it."

Strive to stand out. Your superiors know you have ability, and they won't leave you unused when it matters.

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping nodded emphatically!

The same scene unfolded elsewhere. In the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office, Lu Yike also received a notification, but instead of forming one team, she was instructed to form two.

The entire team was assembled in just one weekend. The team was mostly composed of young people who were eager to make a name for themselves. Young people don't care about social niceties; they only care about results!

On Monday, Chen Luo went to Luzhou as usual.

The industrial park has begun debugging equipment, recruiting talent and workers, and some are even ready to start production. Currently, a total of nine new state-owned enterprise groups have been established, and Luzhou is about to embark on a new chapter in the second half of the year.

Meanwhile, Yuehu University has established 23 research institutes with top-notch equipment, funding, and talent, providing support for the industrial engine that is about to be launched in Luzhou!

On Wednesday, a plane landed at Handong International Airport, where Tian Jingye, the provincial government's secretary and now the incoming mayor of Guangming District, was waiting at the arrival gate.

The crowd filed out, and soon Tian Jingye saw the person he was waiting for.

The man who came was a bald middle-aged man. Despite having a receding hairline, he didn't shave the hair around his head or simply leave it bald. Instead, he grew a few long strands and combed them into the middle to fill the gap.

Tian Jingye and Li Shangli had known each other for a long time, so there was no need for excessive formalities.

"Secretary Li, welcome to Handong!"

Tian Jingye and Li Shangli reached out their hands and shook hands.

"Director Tian, ​​or rather, District Chief Tian now, we'll be working together in Guangming District from now on, so we'll have to cooperate well!"

"Of course! By the way, Secretary Li, Governor Jianjun is still waiting for us. We can catch up later; let's go see Governor Jianjun first!"

"no problem!"

Li Shangli was in high spirits; he had been promoted, and his confidence was off the charts.
