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

The matter in Lüliang was relatively easy to pass, but the situation with Hou Liangping was less certain.

Sure enough, Lu Zheng'an was the first to use sarcasm.

"Normally, our provincial military region does not comment on personnel arrangements, but I happen to have heard of Hou Liangping, whom Secretary Sha mentioned."

Comrade Hou Liangping served as the director of the Investigation Department of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate in Beijing. Our Director Hou was extremely unscrupulous in Beijing because he had married a good wife and had a father-in-law to back him up!

His handling of cases often disregards organizational procedures, acting recklessly and causing extremely negative consequences. Secretary Sha's idea of ​​sending such a comrade to Handong as a spearhead in the fight against corruption is, in my opinion, ill-considered.

Lu Zheng'an's speech was nothing short of earth-shattering.

Lu Zheng'an rarely said a word at any of the ten Standing Committee meetings, unless it involved military decisions. But this time, Lu Zheng'an unusually targeted Hou Liangping. Those who knew the inside story thought it was normal, after all, Lu Zheng'an also had his pride.

Those unaware of the inside story, such as Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu, were completely dumbfounded.

Is it permissible for military representatives to offer opinions on personnel proposals? Theoretically, yes, but military representatives generally remain silent.

For a moment, Sha Ruijin didn't know what to say.

Someone started a group, and it was the military that started it. Li Dakang, who had been hesitant, stepped forward.

"I know some of what Commander Lu is talking about."

Our anti-corruption work in Handong needs a sharp, daring blade, but that doesn't mean this blade can be disorganized and undisciplined. From a stability perspective, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!

Chen Luo ignored him. He and Sha Ruijin had already made an exchange, so whether Hou Liangping came or not was none of his business.

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Commander Lu. What Comrade Dakang said makes sense."

However, we need to consider the Supreme People's Procuratorate's opinion. Similarly, while Comrade Hou Liangping's consistent style may be somewhat unconventional, it doesn't mean that coming to Handong will be the same as coming to the capital.

I believe in the Supreme People's Procuratorate's vision. It's a double-edged sword, and if used properly, the results will be amazing. We in Handong are confident that we can keep Comrade Hou Liangping within the rules.

Let's begin the vote!

As Sha Ruijin raised his hand, Tian Guofu, the Secretary-General, and the Organization Minister followed suit. Chen Luo thought for a moment and then raised his hand as well. Soon, the three from the provincial government also raised their hands in support, and the rest followed suit.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, even Li Dakang finally raised his hand in agreement.

Lu Zheng'an was the only one who didn't raise his hand.

Because of his status as a representative of the military region, it was fine for Lu Zheng'an to offer a few words of advice or vent his frustrations.

But if he were to raise his hand to veto it, Lu Zheng'an wouldn't be stupid; that would truly be interfering with local decision-making.

"Okay, twelve votes in favor."

Despite some setbacks, the outcome did not disappoint Sha Ruijin.

Just then, Chen Luo spoke up.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, since everyone has discussed personnel issues, we also have a personnel issue in our Political and Legal Affairs Commission, so let's bring it up for discussion as well."

"Yes, Comrade Chen Luo, please go ahead."

Both Sha Ruijin and Governor Liu gestured for Chen Luo to speak frankly.

"Okay, our Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office Director just submitted his application to retire a year early three days ago."

The older comrades are no longer physically and mentally capable, so as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I naturally cannot force them to stay.

The importance of the director of the inspection office cannot be overseen by a comrade who is both disciplined and capable.

Coincidentally, I recently selected a suitable candidate.

After a brief pause, Chen Luo continued, "Comrade Lu Yike, the current deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, is very suitable!"

Comrade Lu Yike is young and energetic, disciplined and proficient in organizational procedures, and has experience in positions like the Anti-Corruption Bureau. She is not afraid of offending people, and her appointment to head the Supervision Office will better enable her to oversee the fairness and impartiality of law enforcement, judicial processes, and trials across the country.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Lu Zheng'an, who had been serious, was the first to break into a smile.

Sha Ruijin was unaware of the relationship between Lu Yike and Lu Zheng'an. He wouldn't object to Chen Luo's personnel proposal, since Chen Luo's argument was reasonable and well-founded.

Those who understood the intricacies of the situation exchanged subtle glances. Without a word, Chen Luo, the newly appointed Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, had firmly established himself among the provincial party committee members!

"Comrade Chen Luo, you are the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Our Provincial Party Committee respects your opinion on the selection of the Director of the Supervision Office of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Since you think highly of Comrade Lu Yike, let's vote on it."

Swish, swish, swish, it only took a few seconds.

Everyone except Lu Zheng'an agreed, but Lu Zheng'an abstained because he needed to recuse himself...

It was precisely Lu Zheng'an's avoidance that prevented Sha Ruijin from even noticing anything amiss.

With personnel issues discussed, the next step is to discuss some key political matters within Handong Province.

An hour later, the Standing Committee meeting was coming to an end.

"Secretary Sha, I have something to say about the personnel discussions."

After the political discussion, Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses, his smile gentle, while Sha Ruijin frowned and then nodded.

"Secretary Yuliang, please speak. We're listening."

"Okay, everyone, speaking of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Comrade Chen Hai, the former director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, has been suspended from his post for almost a month. Although Comrade Chen Hai has been disciplined for his work, our provincial party committee can't keep him suspended indefinitely, can it?"

Our provincial party committee wants to give our comrades a chance to correct their mistakes and start anew.

Gao Yuliang's reasoning is somewhat impeccable.

It's clearly wrong to condemn someone for making a mistake only once.

It's just that none of the people present care about Chen Hai, which is why he hasn't been mentioned recently.

Sha Ruijin originally didn't want to care about Chen Yanshi's son's life or death, but after calming down and thinking about it, he decided not to give others cause for gossip.

He looked at Chen Luo and asked, "Comrade Chen Luo, you are the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Could you give some advice on the reinstatement of Comrade Chen Hai?"

Chen Luo couldn't avoid this matter, but of course he didn't intend to dodge it.

After a moment's thought, Chen Luo feigned difficulty: "Secretary Sha, comrades, there really isn't a suitable position for Comrade Chen Hai in our political and legal system right now. The only one left is the deputy director position in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, but having Comrade Chen Hai step down from director to deputy director... I'm afraid..."

Chen Luo didn't say what he was going to say next, but the meaning was clear: he was afraid Chen Hai wouldn't agree.

"Comrade Chen Luo, there's no need to make things difficult for you. Chen Hai has already received a disciplinary action, so it's good to let him continue to hone his skills as deputy director. Just keep his deputy director-level benefits."

I think Comrade Chen Hai is a person who understands the big picture and prioritizes the overall situation.

Upon hearing Sha Ruijin's words, Chen Luo finally smiled. Hou Liangping and Chen Hai exchanged positions, how interesting!

Gao Yuliang didn't argue with the result. He had only promised Chen Yanshi that he would do his best, and he had already done his best, hadn't he? Whose fault was it that he didn't get a position?

"Okay, there's no need to vote on the position of deputy director. Just have the procuratorate notify Comrade Chen Hai directly."

Meeting adjourned!

As Sha Ruijin finished speaking, everyone stood up, and the meeting came to an end.
