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

Every year, there are retired cadres in Handong, some at the bureau level and some at the deputy provincial level. In the senior cadre sanatorium, some people don't give him any face at all, and even dare to point their fingers at him and curse him. He really doesn't want to go back.

To strike a snake, strike its vital spot; Chen Luo has never been polite to such shameless old comrades.

Tian Guofu smiled from the side. He was clearly not as aggressive as Chen Luo, after all, that was just Tian Guofu's personality.

"You, you, you!"

Huang Limin was clearly too excited, his fingers kept waving, and Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the sight.

This kind of person is truly shameful; when they fall into a disadvantageous position and can't win an argument, they immediately stage a heart attack.

The key is that Chen Luo can't just stand by and do nothing.

That's a pretty ruthless move!

Whether he succeeds or not, he will ruin Chen Luo's reputation by bullying an older comrade and causing him to suffer a heart attack.

"Alright, Huang Limin, don't push your luck. Who can't see through your little tricks?"

Don't say you're faking it. Even if you really die here, you won't be wronged. Gao Qiqiang has been able to commit all sorts of crimes in Jinghai without being caught all these years. You are the biggest behind-the-scenes protector!

"If you keep pretending, I'll have Gao Qiqiang write a report and send it directly to Beijing. I want to see if they'll say you, this old comrade, are shameless, or they'll reprimand me, this young man, for bullying an old comrade!"

Tian Guofu, who was standing to the side, almost gave Chen Luo a thumbs up. He was really awesome. He really didn't dare to be so tough.

Of course, this is mainly a matter of confidence.

When Chen Luo's case was submitted to the capital, the higher-ups only thought that Chen Luo, a young man, had party principles and was not afraid of the public pressure from older comrades. If it were Tian Guofu, the situation might be completely different.

Having someone speak and having no one speak are two different things.

Whether something is reasonable or not, the key is not the word "reason," but the word "reason." Whoever has the right to speak is right...

Huang Limin was clearly intimidated by Chen Luo's words and imposing manner. This tactic had always worked over the years, but this young comrade seemed completely unafraid...

But if I get up, wouldn't that prove I was faking it, and I'd be even more ashamed to face people?

For a moment, Huang Limin was torn between his conscience and his conscience.

A minute later, Huang Limin pretended to take a few deep breaths, opened his eyes, and looked around blankly.

"Huh? Comrade Chen Luo, Comrade Guo Fu, what happened to me just now? My head suddenly feels uncomfortable, and I can't remember anything."

Tian Guofu exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, this old comrade's acting skills are truly superb! He can even do this!"

Chen Luo was amused by Huang Limin, but since Huang Limin was willing to back down, Chen Luo couldn't really push his luck too far.

"Since Mr. Huang's health isn't very good, it's not safe for him to be alone in Jinghai. I suggest he go to the Jingzhou Sanatorium, where the medical and nursing care are excellent!"

Chen Luo offered a way out, and Huang Limin immediately took it.

"Sigh! Comrade Chen Luo is right. My eyesight has become increasingly blurry since I came to Jinghai. It's easy for me to misjudge people. I should go back to Jingzhou."

With the conditions met, Chen Luo chatted casually for a few minutes before leaving with Tian Guofu.

On the Coaster bus, Tian Guofu looked Chen Luo up and down with great interest.

He then joked, "Secretary Chen, weren't you afraid that Huang Limin would really fall to the ground and not get up?"

Although the higher-ups can understand this, it will still affect Secretary Chen's reputation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo laughed and said, "This Huang Limin is comparable to Chen Yanshi, who retired but did not retire and established the Second Procuratorate of Handong. It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid. However, if he really sticks to his guns, I will write materials and send them to the capital to criticize him!"

The more you fear it, the more it happens. If you compromise on this once, it will happen countless times. I don't want my future work to be swayed by the opinions of these difficult older colleagues.

That's the logic, but ultimately only a minority dare to truly stand up to the challenge.

"Secretary Chen, you know what, Huang Limin and Comrade Chen Yanshi retired in the same year. I heard that back then in the senior cadre sanatorium, Comrade Chen Yanshi and Comrade Huang Limin couldn't stand each other and would argue from time to time."

Later, they grew increasingly tired of each other, so Comrade Huang Limin came to Jinghai, while Comrade Chen Yanshi sold his house, donated the proceeds, and moved into a sanatorium for middle-level cadres.

"Oh? There's such a story?"

"Hahaha, I've only heard about it, just heard about it."

The two chatted about the interesting things that happened along the way as they drove back to Jingzhou, leaving the remaining matters in Jinghai to Lu Yike and the staff of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Originally, Chen Luo and Tian Guofu didn't intend to give Huang Limin a warning; they just wanted to conduct an interview and offer a reminder. However, things got a bit out of control later on...

Of course, all of that is in the past.

The vehicle traveled for five hours before arriving in Jingzhou, at which point it was already around 2:30 PM.

It was exactly 3 p.m.

The main conference room of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee.

The Standing Committee meeting was convened in advance. Although Sha Ruijin and his three-person provincial party committee group had reached a consensus on the handling of the Jinghai issue, this did not mean that they could bypass the Standing Committee and proceed with the follow-up work directly.

"Comrades, I'm sure you all know something about the problems in Jinghai City, right?"

Now, let Comrade Chen Luo and Comrade Guo Fu give you a detailed report.

After Sha Ruijin finished speaking, Chen Luo gestured for Tian Guofu to speak first, but Tian Guofu smiled and shook his head, letting Chen Luo go first.

No longer refusing, Chen Luo stood up and clearly recounted the process from the investigation team's discovery of the problem to the provincial party committee's three-person group making a temporary decision, and then to his and Tian Guofu's handling of the matter in Jinghai.

Was anything omitted? Yes, the part about reprimanding Huang Limin was omitted.

After listening to Chen Luo's report, Tian Guofu stood up to provide supplementary explanations, which mainly concerned the amount of bribes received.

After hearing the report, the faces of the standing committee members present were not very good. To some extent, they, as standing committee members, were responsible for the fact that a mayor had been entrenched in power for more than ten years without being discovered.

Of course, there are quite a few newcomers, such as Chen Luo, Tian Guofu, and Sha Ruijin.

"It's shocking!"

Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, Secretary Yuliang, my opinion on the investigation results of Secretary Chen and Secretary Guofu is that they must be dealt with seriously! Other cadres in Jinghai should also be held accountable, especially the Secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee.

He's the class monitor, how could he be completely unaware of this?

Li Dakang launched a fierce attack, shifting the blame for the provincial party committee's inadequate oversight to the municipal party secretary Ji Chuan's reluctance to act with just one sentence.

The other members of the Standing Committee echoed this sentiment.

Sha Ruijin listened without objecting.

Using Ji Chuan, the municipal party secretary, to take the blame is undoubtedly the best solution, especially since Ji Chuan is not innocent as the municipal party secretary.

"Since everyone agrees, let's replace this weak and incompetent municipal party secretary. Our party members and cadres must not turn a blind eye to corruption!"

"Secretary Sha, besides this municipal party secretary, I suggest replacing the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jinghai City as well. The municipal party secretary is probably just trying to maintain stability by not intervening, but for the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission to fail to report this is dereliction of duty!"

Tian Guofu took the opportunity to change the opinions of his own people, and no one would object, since what he said made sense.
