Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

"Oh, I have no objection."

Li Dakang shook his head.

"Then let's vote by raising hands."

After Sha Ruijin finished speaking, he and Chu Shijun raised their hands together.

The remaining people quickly lifted it up as well, including the two members of the military region's standing committee and the head of the United Front Work Department.

If there are no issues, they just follow along; if there are disagreements, they simply abstain. It's very easy.

"Okay, unanimously approved, very united."

After putting his hand down, Sha Ruijin nodded in satisfaction.

"Does anyone have any other suggestions?"

"I have a nomination proposal for a comrade here."

Chu Shijun began, “Comrades, Comrade Qi Tongwei of the Provincial Public Security Department has worked his way up from the grassroots level. He is a hero in the fight against drugs and has worked his way up in the political and legal system. He has been the director of the Public Security Department for several years now, so I propose that Comrade Qi Tongwei be appointed as a deputy provincial-level official.”

Sha Ruijin nodded and looked at Wu Chunlin, "Comrade Chunlin, what about your organization department?"

"Our Organization Department has conducted an investigation of Comrade Qi Tongwei and found that he is principled, has a strong sense of the overall political situation, is down-to-earth in his work, has an excellent work style, and balances political and professional aspects in his work. Other comrades also have a high opinion of Comrade Qi Tongwei. Therefore, our Organization Department agrees with the proposal to appoint Comrade Qi Tongwei to the deputy provincial level. This is fair and in accordance with the regulations on the appointment of cadres."

Wu Chunlin opened the folder and read aloud.

"Our Political and Legal Affairs Commission also agrees," Gao Yuliang said. "In addition, Comrade Qi Tongwei is the deputy secretary of our Political and Legal Affairs Commission. As you all know, the previous first deputy secretary, He Liming, has been placed under investigation for disciplinary violations and illegal activities. Therefore, after research, our Political and Legal Affairs Commission has decided to recommend Comrade Qi Tongwei to serve as the first deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, so as to better lead public security work and coordinate political and legal affairs."

"At the same time, we will submit the candidate for the full-time deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to the Organization Department as soon as possible. If you have any suitable candidates or those with rich experience in political and legal work, you can also recommend them. Our Political and Legal Affairs Commission will consider them as appropriate."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

The Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province originally had one first deputy secretary and several deputy secretaries. The first deputy secretary, He Liming, was essentially a full-time deputy secretary.

However, after the deputy provincial public security director also became the first deputy secretary, there would inevitably be a full-time deputy secretary to oversee the daily work. They recommended him, which can be considered as the exchange made by Gao Yuliang.

No matter who is ultimately chosen, they have no reason to refuse; what if it's someone they recommended?

"Let's vote by raising our hands!"

Sha Ruijin spoke up.

He and Chu Shijun raised their hands together again.

"I agree!"

"I agree..."

unanimously.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Sha Ruijin nodded. "I also have two proposals here."

"When I was conducting research in Lüzhou City, I met a cadre named Yi Xuexi, who was recommended to me by Comrade Guofu. I wonder if anyone remembers him?"

Li Dakang frowned when he heard the name.

"I think Comrade Dakang should know who Comrade Yi Xuexi is," Tian Guofu said, looking at him. "When Comrade Dakang was the county magistrate of Jinshan County, Comrade Yi Xuexi was the county party secretary. Twenty years have passed, and now that Comrade Dakang is here, Comrade Yi Xuexi is still just a section-level official. This situation is something we should think about deeply..."

"Comrade Guofu, what do you mean by that?"

Li Dakang interrupted, "Are you saying I shouldn't be sitting here, and Comrade Yi Xuexi should be? Or are you saying I retaliated against him by suppressing him for twenty years?"

"Comrade Dakang, don't get agitated, I haven't finished speaking yet,"

Tian Guofu's face darkened. "Can you let me finish? We're all on the same side. How can I criticize you?"

"I think Comrade Guofu means the issue of cadre appointment," Wu Chunlin said. "I know Yi Xuexi. He doesn't curry favor or give gifts. He has criticized some of Comrade Zhao Lichun's previous actions, which is why he has been moving from county to county for some reason and has always been a full-fledged department head."

"right!"

Tian Guofu nodded. "As far as I know, some people say that Comrade Zhao Lichun was merciful. It's already quite good that he didn't demote Yi Xuexi, a cadre who doesn't run around or offer bribes."

"Comrade Guofu just mentioned Comrade Dakang. Are you implying that Comrade Dakang went to great lengths to curry favor, and that's why he was promoted and given an important position by Comrade Zhao Lichun?"

Yang Xiaofeng shoveled the fire.

As expected, Li Dakang's face quickly darkened.

"Don't misunderstand me, Comrade Dakang. I didn't mean that. Please don't get the wrong idea."

After Tian Guofu finished speaking, he shut his mouth.

"Alright, everyone knows Comrade Dakang's work ability. Here we're talking about the issue of easy learning," Sha Ruijin frowned. Why did the argument start as soon as he got to the point, and why couldn't he win the argument?

"Comrade Guofu and I went to Comrade Yi Xuexi's home. This comrade is very dedicated to his work. He has been stuck at the division level for twenty years, but he still works diligently. He even has a roadmap at home. He focuses on development. We should promote such a cadre. So I proposed that Comrade Yi Xuexi be promoted to the position of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City. Comrade Shijun and I have discussed it and the original Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission has been transferred to another post."

"Comrade Yi Xuexi has met his mentor."

Li Dakang forced a smile and said that he was going to supervise Yi Xuexi, as he knew Yi Xuexi's character very well.

"Comrade Dakang, why didn't you become that talent scout?"

Sha Ruijin's eyes held a sharp glint. He was still observing Li Dakang, whom he considered a potential dagger. The reason for his transfer and study was to keep an eye on him and ensure that he would focus on economic development.

"Enough with the small talk, let's vote by raising our hands!"

It was quickly and unanimously approved.

Sha Ruijin then made a second suggestion: "Comrade Hou Liangping from the Supreme People's Procuratorate was beaten on his first day in Handong due to a misunderstanding. He has just been discharged from the hospital. He came down with a mission. I know that some of you don't like some of his previous actions, but don't deny his work ability."

"Therefore, I propose that he be appointed as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, but his rank will remain unchanged, and he will only enjoy the treatment of a deputy director-general. This is both an explanation for the previous incident and compensation for Comrade Hou Liangping."

The group looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Chu Shijun and Gao Yuliang drank water with an air of nonchalance.

I'll approve the person you recommended; if anything goes wrong, you'll bear the responsibility for misjudging them.

If you memorize a few more, you'll reach the end.

Does anyone have a different opinion?

Sha Ruijin found it a bit strange. It was one thing for them not to speak, and he had also notified Li Dakang in advance, but Chu Shijun didn't seem to have any objections either.

Something's not right.

"Comrade Yuliang, the Anti-Corruption Bureau is under the leadership of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. What are your thoughts on this?" He called on him personally.

"Hehe, Comrade Hou Liangping was my student at Han University before, so I won't comment. Everyone can judge how well he's done his job. Since Comrade Ruijin mentioned him, he must believe in his abilities. I have nothing to say." Gao Yuliang shook his head.

After listening, Sha Ruijin felt that it made some sense, then looked at Chu Shijun, quickly turned away, and said that he couldn't ask about it.

After looking around and seeing that no one wanted to speak, he raised his hand and said, "Let's vote by raising our hands."

The rest of the people raised their hands in unison.

Li Dakang raised and lowered his hand repeatedly, and Zhou Guichun followed suit.

Sha Ruijin's eyebrows twitched as he watched.

"Do either of you have any objections?"

"I agree!"

Under Sha Ruijin's gaze, Li Dakang slowly raised his hand.

"My arm was a little sore just now, so I agree." Zhou Guichun nodded.

Sha Ruijin gave him a deep look.

"At today's Standing Committee meeting, we set the tone for the appointment of cadres and clarified the principles for improving the conduct of public officials. Both tasks are related to the political ecology and overall development of Handong, and we must ensure their thorough implementation."

"Relevant departments should formulate specific implementation plans as soon as possible in accordance with the matters agreed upon at today's meeting, clarify the division of responsibilities and timelines, and the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee should do a good job in supervision and implementation to ensure that all deployments are implemented and achieve practical results."

"That concludes today's Standing Committee meeting. Meeting adjourned."

Sha Ruijin concluded.

Watching the Standing Committee members leave one by one, he felt that today's resolution had been passed too smoothly. There were controversies, but they were only touched upon in a superficial way, and they were all stirred up by their side.

He's probably overthinking it. The other side is completely dependent on Chu Shijun's will, while their side is somewhat disunited and needs more lessons.

Shaking his head, Sha Ruijin picked up his water glass and folder, got up, and left.
