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

At this moment, Hou Liangping could only describe himself as being surrounded by admirers.

"Good luck with the quarterly inspection!"

Although Hou Liangping is usually carefree and has some flaws, he would never call Ji Changming "Old Ji" in public.

"Well, Comrade Liangping, let me introduce you."

This is Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin Guoping.

Hou Liangping smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello, Prosecutor Lin!"

"This is your partner, Chen Hai, the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. I heard you were college classmates, so I won't go into any further introductions."

When Ji Changming said those words, Chen Hai's expression froze. He really knew how to rub salt in the wound.

"Haha, Hai Zi, we just worked together not long ago, I never thought we'd be fighting side-by-side again. Ah, the memories!"

Hou Liangping seemed to be expressing his feelings, but his words struck a nerve with Chen Hai, who could only force a smile in response.

The welcoming ceremony ended hastily, and after the Organization Department announced the appointments, Ji Changming and Lin Guoping both left the Anti-Corruption Bureau's office floor.

In the director's office, Hou Liangping and Chen Hai sat facing each other, except that Hou Liangping was sitting in the director's leather chair, while Chen Hai was sitting in a guest chair.

As fate would have it, Hou Liangping knew as soon as he got out of the car that his "good brother" probably had a problem with him. But Hou Liangping was confident that he could handle Chen Hai, since Chen Hai had never escaped his grasp since college.

"Ugh!"

First came a heavy sigh. Hou Liangping stared intently at Chen Hai, who was sitting opposite him, with a dazed expression, a hint of loneliness, and a look of indignation.

For a moment, Chen Hai was stunned.

"Hai Zi, when you were suspended from your post, I thought it was just a minor punishment. I never expected that the Supreme People's Procuratorate would transfer me to Handong and replace you with a single order."

Now that our positions have been reversed, I'm afraid even brothers like us will develop some resentment.

To be honest, I was originally unwilling to come to Handong to become the bureau chief, as it would affect our brotherly relationship, but alas…”

As Hou Liangping paused, Chen Hai's heart visibly sank.

"Unfortunately, the case where you arrested Ding Yizhen also stirred up a hornet's nest in Beijing. My family has been receiving razor blades as threats lately, and I have no choice but to leave Beijing..."

At this point, Hou Liangping gave a wry smile.

Chen Hai believed most of what was said, even though it was only half true.

"Monkey, are those people really this brazen?"

Hearing Chen Hai's question, Hou Liangping knew that Chen Hai had taken the bait, and sighed again.

"More than just unscrupulous..."

"If it weren't for Xiao Ai's father having some connections in Beijing, I probably wouldn't have made it out of the capital alive!"

Hearing this, Chen Hai felt a pang of guilt, and in his heart, he began to forgive Hou Liangping, provided that what Hou Liangping said was true.

"Don't worry about the monkey. You're safe here at Handong. You have Professor Gao, Senior Qi, and me and Handong University. Sooner or later, these arrogant and lawless people will be brought to justice!"

"Yes! That's the only way."

Looking at Hou Liangping's dejected expression, Chen Hai felt a pang of pity. He had originally planned to question Hou Liangping about why he had come to Handong to compete with him, but now he had long forgotten about those words.

Even after leaving the director's office, Chen Hai's mind was filled with thoughts of how hard his "good brother" had worked, how his "good brother" hadn't done it on purpose, and how he should be more magnanimous.

Little did anyone know that after he left the office, Hou Liangping's originally sad and dejected expression changed like a Sichuan opera mask, and a bright and triumphant smile filled his brows.

"Chen Hai, Chen Hai, you're still the same. You believe me when I just act. Don't blame me, brother. Everyone is a competitor on the road to progress. I can't stop!"

Besides, with your personality, it would be a waste to give it to you. You might as well give it to me, your brother. After all, it's better to keep the good stuff in the family...

Shaking his head, Hou Liangping leaned back slightly in the soft chair, closing his eyes to enjoy the brightness of the spacious office and the scent of power.

Unlike Hou Liangping's comfortable life, Lu Yike immediately threw herself into work after being announced her appointment that morning.

First, they got to know all the staff in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office, and then they analyzed everyone's information.

Chen Luo only gave Lu Yike half a month to integrate the personnel of the Supervision Office. During this period, Chen Luo would agree to any personnel adjustments that Lu Yike needed.

Half a month later, Chen Luo will contact the public security, procuratorate and court, along with the armed police, the provincial discipline inspection commission and the provincial propaganda department, to form a joint investigation team to be stationed at the grassroots level in Handong.

With time running out and the task heavy, Lu Yike dared not stop for a moment, analyzing personnel matters from morning till night.

Keep those currently capable in the inspection office, and mark those who lack energy, have weak work ability, poor sense of responsibility, or are inactive or act improperly.

This lasted for seven days.

Nine o'clock in the morning on the seventh day.

Standing at the door of Chen Luo's office, Lu Yike's somewhat tired eyes were filled with a determined light.

"Director Lu, Secretary Chen is inside. You can go in directly."

Secretary Liu Mingyu smiled. In the past few days, Liu Mingyu had been helping Lu Yike deliver personnel adjustment reports to Chen Luo. Over time, the two had become more familiar with each other.

"Yes, thank you, Director Liu."

After thanking her, Lu Yike gently knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

After receiving permission, Lu Yike turned the lock and entered the office.

"Director Lu is here? Please have a seat."

Chen Luo sat up straight and stopped addressing Lu Yike as "Comrade," a sign that the distance between them was closing.

"Okay, Secretary Chen!"

After sitting on the sofa opposite Chen Luo, Lu Yike began to report the purpose of her visit.

"Secretary Chen, I've analyzed all the staff in the Inspection Office, and there seem to be quite a few personnel that need to be reassigned... What do you think?"

Chen Luo nodded and said, "It's alright. A bad general makes a bad army. Given the work attitude of the former director of the inspection office, Comrade Ma Shan, it's not surprising that the staff below him developed such a lazy work attitude."

Leave the report here and I'll look at it later. What you need to do now is see if there are any suitable personnel to be transferred in from other departments of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

There are still seven days left. After seven days, I will start contacting various units and strive to get to the grassroots level within a month!

"Okay, Secretary Chen, I understand."

Lu Yike only sat in the office for three minutes before leaving; time waits for no one!

After Lu Yike left, Chen Luo picked up her personnel adjustment report and examined it carefully.

It must be said that she has the ability to work and is also very meticulous. She summarized the reasons for the adjustments one by one, and her analysis was clear and based on Lu Yike's most honest analysis.

"Not bad, a promotion to the level of a full-fledged division chief right off the bat. I'm not afraid of your boldness, I'm afraid of your timidity!"

Chen Luo smiled faintly as he looked at the analysis report; Lu Yike's move seemed quite appropriate.
