A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Actually, thinking about it, it would be better if I were the only one standing next to Zheng Jindong in the entire conference room.

This will allow Zheng Jindong to remember himself more clearly and understand his own worth.

However, Zheng Jindong didn't have much of an impression of He Dongfeng at all.

Because Zheng Jindong felt that flattery was the bare minimum, so wasn't He Dongfeng's behavior normal?

Zheng Jindong, who is used to being praised, doesn't think that having someone follow him around is anything special.

When Zheng Jindong saw Liu Linzong asking him to introduce himself, Zheng Jindong felt that this was a kind of offense to him.

How could I not know that I should introduce myself and make a statement at this meeting?

I just wanted to embarrass Qi Tongwei.

As a result, it tasted a little different when it reached Liu Linzong's mouth.

It's like I'm an ignorant child who doesn't know what I need to do at this meeting, so they're teaching me to introduce myself and express my opinion.

Zheng Jindong is about to explode because his fragile heart is shattered.

However, today is Zheng Jindong's first day in office, and if he loses his temper here, he will lose face even more.

So, Zheng Jindong suppressed his anger and smiled.

"Hello everyone, I know many of the people here, but I don't know Governor Qi."

As he spoke, he seemed to be humorously looking at the crowd. Zheng Jindong noticed that the crowd had just been clapping and laughing very enthusiastically for him.

After Qi Tongwei was mentioned, everyone's faces turned expressionless, and they stopped cooperating.

He Dongfeng was the only one in the room, smiling and nodding as if he appreciated what he had said.

"However, I believe that it won't be long before Governor Qi gets to know me."

Zheng Jindong still mentioned Qi Tongwei in every sentence, making his attitude very clear: he simply couldn't get back at Qi Tongwei.

Liu Linzong just said that Zheng Jindong shouldn't be so focused on Qi Tongwei, but it seems his words have no effect.

This made Liu Linzong very unhappy for a moment.

However, Zheng Jindong didn't care about any of that.

"From now on, I will follow the rules in everything I do at Handong. I won't name names those who don't understand the rules, such as those who can't ask for leave for meetings or those who can't come to meetings."

As he spoke, Zheng Jindong smiled and looked around again.

Naturally, no one responded; only He Dongfeng smiled and nodded, echoing Zheng Jindong from afar.

Because everyone is very clear that Qi Tongwei's case has been explained very clearly, and Liu Linzong, as the governor, has already made his position clear.

Qi Tongwei is a provincial party committee leader, the deputy secretary, so he doesn't need to attend the meeting.

Qi Tongwei holds concurrent positions with both the Provincial Party Committee and this office, but his primary role is with the Provincial Party Committee.

These statements are all reasonable and quite clear.

Zheng Jindong, however, persisted in pressing the issue, making many people present feel that he seemed petty.

"No matter who it is, I, Zheng Jindong, will not give them any face. I will handle things properly and work properly, setting an example and a benchmark for those who do not follow the rules!"

After saying these words, Zheng Jindong smiled, expecting applause from others.

Zheng Jindong felt he had made himself very clear: he was determined to make things difficult for Qi Tongwei, and he was there to teach Qi Tongwei manners and how to behave.

Chapter 260 We Must Have the Spirit to Draw Our Swords

Zheng Jindong's words did not elicit the particularly enthusiastic reaction he had imagined at the scene.

There was applause, but it wasn't very enthusiastic; only He Dongfeng clapped enthusiastically.

He Dongfeng was cooperating with Zheng Jindong the whole time, thinking that Zheng Jindong would notice him.

What He Dongfeng didn't know was that Zheng Jindong had no impression of him at all throughout the whole process.

After hearing Zheng Jindong's words, Liu Linzong's face turned very ugly. He knew that Zheng Jindong was after Qi Tongwei.

This can be seen as Zheng Jindong's declaration of war against Qi Tongwei, and Liu Linzong knows that the future of Handong will no longer be so peaceful.

Handong Province, Provincial Administration of Work Safety.

As the vice governor of Handong Province in charge of work safety, Zheng Jindong's first stop after taking office was naturally to inspect his most important territory.

As the director of the Provincial Administration of Work Safety, Lü Jingmin convened a meeting of his team members to express his welcome to Zheng Jindong.

Everyone knows that the newly appointed vice governor has publicly challenged Qi Tongwei.

However, there is a crucial issue here. Qi Tongwei was worried that the future vice governor in charge of work safety would be difficult to deal with, so he recruited Lü Jingmin into the Qi family faction in advance.

The current head of the provincial safety supervision bureau, Zheng Jindong's most trusted and capable assistant, is actually a spy planted by Qi Tongwei.

Of course, Zheng Jindong knew nothing about these things.

He came to Handong, thinking the water there was only as shallow as his heels.

As a result, the very first meeting shattered my fragile heart.

Zheng Jindong understood very well that if he wanted to really get rid of Qi Tongwei, he had to first establish a firm foothold in Handong.

To establish a foothold in Handong, the first step is to build up one's own power, which means establishing the Zheng Family Gang.

If you want to build up the Zheng family gang, you definitely need a core group of members.

In Zheng Jindong's eyes, Lü Jingmin is the best candidate.

Zheng Jindong had done some research and learned that Lü Jingmin was a close confidant of his predecessor, Sun Huashan.

Now that Sun Huashan has been demoted two ranks because of Qi Tongwei, Lü Jingmin, as Sun Huashan's former confidant, must hate Qi Tongwei very much.

At the same time, because of Sun Huashan's downfall, Lü Jingmin will definitely look forward to relying on a new powerful patron, and naturally, he himself is the best choice for Lü Jingmin now.

What Zheng Jindong didn't know was that Lü Jingmin had already defected to the enemy and was already Qi Tongwei's man.

Otherwise, how could such a big incident involving Sun Huashan not have affected Lü Jingmin?

At the meeting, Lü Jingmin briefly introduced the work of the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau, and then looked at Zheng Jindong.

"Governor Jin Dong, this is a general overview of our work on production safety in Handong Province. Please take a look and point out any areas where we are lacking, and we would appreciate your valuable feedback."

After listening to Lü Jingmin's report, Zheng Jindong smiled slightly.

In fact, Zheng Jindong didn't understand any of this. He had no experience with underground ventilation improvements, 5S system management, or the handling of hazardous chemicals. He had never worked in these fields before, so he had no idea what they were.

All he wants now is to quickly cultivate his own trusted confidants.

"Very good, Comrade Jingmin's speech was very creative and bold! In our work, we should encourage innovation and break away from the old ways!"

Upon hearing Zheng Jindong's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, including Lü Jingmin, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

Where was the creativity and innovation in my speech? I simply reported on the work done over the years.

Zheng Jindong didn't notice anything amiss in the atmosphere and continued to speak with a smile.

"I'm also someone who really likes innovation and exploration, so I think Jingmin and I are very similar!"

As Zheng Jindong spoke, he smiled and looked at Lü Jingmin.

Lü Jingmin understood perfectly well that Zheng Jindong was publicly showing him goodwill.

However, I didn't have any innovation. Not a single word in those work reports was related to innovation.

Zheng Jindong looked around at the people around him, looking quite satisfied.

“I know that the Safety Supervision Bureau needs to conduct safety inspections and enforce regulations on enterprises. In the process of safety inspection and enforcement, we often have to be brave enough to take action! I, Zheng, came to Handong with the spirit of taking action! I want to see who can act lawlessly and recklessly in this area of ​​Handong!”

Request flowers

The more people listened, the more they felt that what Zheng Jindong was saying was outrageous.

Although enterprises in Handong Province have some problems with safety production, they have not reached the point of being lawless and reckless.

It's obvious that Zheng Jindong wasn't talking about the Safety Supervision Bureau. From the moment he arrived at the Safety Supervision Bureau, every single word he uttered had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Since arriving in Handong, Zheng Jindong has been holding a grudge against Qi Tongwei, and he still hasn't gotten over it.

Previously, at a provincial leadership meeting, I couldn't lose my temper, and when I spoke about Qi Tongwei, I didn't receive a warm response.

However, this provincial safety supervision bureau is his territory, and he can vent his anger however he wants. Zheng Jindong just wanted to heal his fragile ego here and have his subordinates praise him.

... ... 0

He also wanted to recruit some followers like Lü Jingmin to expand his own power.

"As far as I know, there's a black sheep in our province! Many people don't dare mention his name, but I do—it's Qi Tongwei! What's there to be afraid of? He persecuted Comrade Sun Huashan before; what a vicious and heinous method that was! I'm ashamed to associate with such a person!"

Zheng Jindong felt he was very clever, pointing out his enemy while also mentioning Sun Huashan, thus arousing a sense of sympathy among Zheng Jindong and others.

Zheng Jindong felt that he was about to receive enthusiastic applause.

Although this wasn't a provincial leadership meeting, at least there was applause.

This can be seen as a form of encouragement for himself to start a war with Qi Tongwei.

To everyone's surprise, after hearing Zheng Jindong's words, everyone looked at each other, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

Zheng Jindong is indeed the vice governor in charge of everyone, but everyone's future is in Qi Tongwei's hands.

If someone says something bad about Qi Tongwei to echo Zheng Jindong, and Qi Tongwei finds out, will everyone refuse to join the department in the future?

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lü Jingmin.

Lu Jingmin was everyone's leader and a member of the Qi family gang, so everyone wanted to see what Lu Jingmin's attitude would be.

Chapter 261 I think this kind of thing is not suitable for public discussion.

Zheng Jindong was waiting for everyone's enthusiastic applause when he was working in Kyoto.

However, even the smallest thing he does is praised by his superiors, and every word he says receives a warm response from everyone.

The people at the recent provincial leadership meeting were acting strangely; it's impossible for the units under their jurisdiction to have problems.

Besides, he had just mentioned his predecessor, Sun Huashan, who was taken down by Qi Tongwei. The people here should all have been Sun Huashan's men before, which means they disliked Qi Tongwei.

When I first came to Handong Province as the vice governor in charge of work safety, I used this place as a base to launch my contest with Qi Tongwei.

That's because they valued this place because its predecessor was taken down by Qi Tongwei, and the seeds of hatred for Qi Tongwei had long been sown here.

Zheng Jindong remained remarkably confident, waiting for everyone's reaction with a smile.
