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

Same night, different moods.

At Sun Liancheng's home, after a busy day of inspecting work at the amusement park, Sun Liancheng had just returned home when his wife came up to him and took his briefcase.

"Honey, didn't you say you wouldn't work overtime?"

And they came back so late...

Sun Liancheng's smile never stopped as he listened to his wife's complaints.

"Honey, things are different now than before!"

"no the same?"

"Yes, but I can't tell you the specifics right now. Let's eat first. After we finish eating, I need to quickly study the development plan of Luzhou City."

"Huh? Not looking at the stars anymore?"

"I'm not watching anymore!"

The starry sky may be vast and boundless, but the political arena requires a more grounded approach!

The next day was Sunday, and Chen Luo stayed home with nothing to do.

Monday, 8:10 a.m.

When Chen Luo arrived at the office, Liu Mingyu had already brewed the tea and was sitting in a chair. As Chen Luo watched Liu Mingyu busy organizing his documents, he thought of Madam Lu's request from the night before last.

"Mingyu, you're thirty-three, aren't you?"

Upon hearing Chen Luo's question, Liu Mingyu paused for a moment. Although he didn't know what had happened, he still chose to answer truthfully.

"Yes, Secretary Chen, he's thirty-three!"

Chen Luo nodded.

"Have you resolved your personal issues?"

When the question was asked, Liu Mingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't because they thought he was too old.

"Um... Secretary Chen, I've been so busy with work these past few years that I've neglected my personal life."

"You don't even have a girlfriend?" Chen Luo continued to ask.

"No……"

Liu Mingyu blushed, clearly showing that he was rather shy when it came to matters of the sexes.

"Well, Mingyu, you're a division-level cadre now. If you want to take on more responsibilities in a couple of years, it's unacceptable if your personal issues aren't resolved. Not everyone is as lucky as Director Lu to be approved unanimously by the provincial party committee."

Even if Chen Luo didn't say it, Liu Mingyu understood this principle. He took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"Secretary Chen, I understand what you mean. I will take care of my personal matters as soon as possible!"

Chen Luo was speechless. Was this kid really that clueless or just pretending? Who would bother with your personal life for no reason?

"Ahem, it's like this, Mingyu. The night before last, I visited Commander Lu's family. Madam Lu asked me to introduce some promising young men to Director Lu. I had been drinking at the time, so I mentioned you. Madam Lu was very satisfied with you."

"Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. You and Comrade Lu Yike are not far apart in age, and you happen to get along well in conversation. What do you think?"

"ah!?"

Liu Mingyu really hadn't expected this outcome.

"What, you're not happy? Or are you saying you look down on our Director Lu?"

Chen Luo's smile vanished, and Liu Mingyu quickly shook his head.

"Secretary Chen, that's not what I meant. Director Lu is very outstanding, but I... I think Director Lu most likely wouldn't be interested in me."

"You know nothing!"

Chen Luo immediately swore; this was the first time in his life he had ever tried to force a romantic pairing, and he didn't want to fail.

"Whether you're a good match or not isn't the standard; whether you like someone or not is. What if Comrade Lu Yike likes you? Besides, Mrs. Lu has already agreed, so what are you afraid of?"

"Be bolder! Comrade Lu Yike won't be going to the grassroots level until the day after tomorrow. Go and meet with him now, and try to get things done before the New Year. If you can get Commander Lu to hold his grandson next year, you'll be guaranteed a deputy director position the year after!"

"ah?!"

"What are you groping for! Hurry up and go!"

Liu Mingyu was kicked out of Chen Luo's office in a daze, and just then, his phone rang.

I picked it up and saw it belonged to Lu Yike!

"Hello, Director Lu!"

Lu Yike found Liu Mingyu's anxious tone somewhat amusing, just like when she was forced into blind dates.

"Director Liu, Secretary Chen has already told you, hasn't he?"

"I said..."

"Okay, then come downstairs. I'll wait for you in the parking lot downstairs. My mom wants to meet you."

Lu Yike hung up the phone immediately.

It has to be said that after the role reversal, Lu Yike actually started to like this way of getting along, which is in line with her usual assertive style.

Liu Mingyu shrugged, resigned to his fate.

Of course, he might also be enjoying it...

At 10:30 a.m., Chen Luo was looking at the development plan blueprints of Luzhou in his office. Although he didn't know what the final outcome would be, it was always good to be prepared in advance.

Just as Chen Luo was lost in thought, the phone rang.

When I picked up the phone, it was Qi Tongwei.

"Hello, Director Qi."

"Good morning, Secretary Chen. I just called Secretary Liu, but he said he wasn't in his office, so I had to call you, Secretary Chen."

"It's okay, I'm not busy right now. Just tell me what's on your mind."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and continued, "It's like this, Secretary Chen. I've been busy leading the Narcotics Control Team in a secret investigation in Dongshan recently, and a hidden drug manufacturing lead in Dongshan City has now been identified."

Chen Luo frowned upon hearing this. The fact that Qi Tongwei spoke in such a serious tone and gave such a solemn report already indicated that the matter was not simple!

"Go on!"

"Yes, Secretary Chen! The clues have now clearly pointed to Tazhai Village in Dongshan City. The entire village is involved in drug production and trafficking, and the amount is enormous."

With hundreds of households and thousands of people in the entire Tazhai village, our provincial department dared not act rashly.

Originally, I wanted to report the situation to Governor Liu, but as you know, Secretary Chen, Governor Liu doesn't seem to like me much, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get the provincial government to pay enough attention!

Chen Luo was speechless.

"Don't be afraid. Governor Liu may have some issues with you, but his attitude will not change when it comes to matters of principle. Here's what we'll do: come to the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and I'll report to Governor Liu and Secretary Sha with you."

"Okay, Secretary Chen, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo took a deep breath.

If this Tazhai Village is the same Tazhai depicted in movies and TV shows, then the problem is very serious.

With this thought in mind, Chen Luo quickly took out his phone and dialed Governor Liu's private number.

"Hello, Governor Liu!"

"Oh, it's Chen Luo. Is it something important that you're calling at this hour?"

"Governor Liu, you guessed perfectly!"

Qi Tongwei just called me. There's something I need to report to you and Secretary Sha, to hear the Provincial Party Committee's opinion, and we also need their support!

"I understand. I'll contact Secretary Ruijin, and you can contact Secretary Yuliang. We'll meet again at 2 PM in the provincial party committee's small conference room."

Governor Liu did not inquire about the specifics. He trusted Chen Luo's judgment. For Chen Luo to speak in such a solemn tone, it was definitely not an ordinary case!

"Yes, Governor Liu, I will inform Secretary Yuliang immediately."

After hanging up with Governor Liu, Chen Luo called Gao Yuliang to relay the meeting at 2 PM. Gao Yuliang, like Chen Luo, didn't ask about the details and simply smiled and agreed.
