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

Chu Shijun was fully aware of Li Dakang's intentions.

The other cadres couldn't persuade him, but Sha Ruijin wanted to see what he was going to do and whether he would bring it up at the meeting, so he could think of a countermeasure in advance.

"It's nothing serious, just a normal investigation procedure to see if there's any concealment. Comrade Dakang can put their minds at ease," Chu Shijun waved his hand. "Also, you can remind anyone who hasn't reported in time to take the initiative to report. If it's found out, it will be a violation of discipline."

"Yes, yes, Governor Chu, don't worry, I will convey the message. I believe our comrades are all good comrades. If anyone hasn't reported in time, they will definitely take the initiative to report," Li Dakang breathed a sigh of relief. In this matter, the other party would definitely not lie to him.

In his opinion, it wouldn't involve too much. So many cadres, who doesn't have a relative studying or doing business abroad? As long as they themselves are fine, it's okay. This kind of routine reporting has always been there.

"Comrade Dakang, your timing is perfect. How did things go with the Dafeng Factory incident last night?" Chu Shijun asked, leaning back on the sofa.

"After discussing with District Chief Sun, we have a preliminary plan," Li Dakang sat up straight. "Governor Chu, I need to apologize to you for this matter. I failed to do a good job in leading the demolition of Dafeng Factory, which led some of my comrades to make mistakes and caused a bad influence."

"Hey, Comrade Dakang, you're exaggerating. You're not a god. Jingzhou is such a big place, and you don't have to oversee every little thing or personally handle everything."

Chu Shijun comforted him, "However, those directly responsible for the problem must be dealt with seriously and given an explanation."

"Governor Chu, rest assured, we arrested the people involved last night. As for the person directly responsible for the incident, after our investigation, we have decided to expel him from the team. Such a scoundrel has disgraced the team's image," Li Dakang said in a deep voice.

Thinking about the extent of it made him furious.

They ordered the demolition, but instead of their own people going, they found a cousin from the demolition company who impersonated a policeman to carry out the forced demolition. It's utterly lawless.

"Okay, investigate and arrest as needed. Comrade Liancheng also told me about the arrangements for Dafeng Factory. You just need to handle it well, but you absolutely cannot resort to forced demolitions again. At the same time, you must ensure the smooth implementation of the Guangmingfeng project."

Sun Liancheng has really climbed the social ladder; his future looks bright.

Upon hearing Sun Liancheng's name, Li Dakang felt a surge of emotion, but this was quickly followed by bitterness.

He and Ye Qian have become more upright and assertive, making life harder for themselves.

With this person backing him up, the vibrant and competitive atmosphere that once characterized the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou Municipal Committee is gone forever. It is no longer his personal domain, and the advantage is no longer his.

Later on, he didn't even want to hold democratic life meetings anymore, because if he did that thing again, he would lose all the face he had left.

"Also, Comrade Dakang, are there any suitable plots of land still available in Jingzhou City?" Chu Shijun asked.

Li Dakang thought for a moment. The suitable land Chu Shijun mentioned should be in the central urban area. He shook his head and said, "There's not much left, Governor Chu. The Guangming Peak project alone occupies a lot of land. The Dafeng Factory hasn't been demolished yet on the core area. There are still some in the suburbs, and a few plots in Hexi District and High-tech Zone, but they're not big. We're still negotiating the remaining old urban areas and shantytowns."

"They've all been sold off by Ding Yizhen, haven't they!"

Chu Shijun looked at him with a half-smile.

"Hehe, Ding Yizhen did sell a lot of land when he was in Guangming District." Li Dakang chuckled awkwardly. "I misjudged him before, Governor Chu, I apologize."

"It would be a pity if they were all sold out," Chu Shijun said with a regretful expression. "I had brought in some projects and was looking for land. I mentioned it to Comrade Ye Qian and Comrade Lian Cheng, and they are also looking for land."

"Since you, the Party Secretary, have said that everything is sold out, then they probably won't be able to find it either. So let's put all the projects in Luzhou."

After saying that, Chu Shijun picked up his teacup and drank some water.

No way, why are you seeing the guest out right after you've finished speaking!

Li Dakang also picked up his water glass and took a sip. If a project could be brought over from Chu Shijun's mouth, it must be quite significant, and its implementation would be a political achievement.

It seems the original intention was to share the burden between Jingzhou and Lüzhou; it wouldn't do if it all fell to Lüzhou.

"How can this be allowed?"

"Um?"

Chu Shijun frowned. "Who are you not allowed to be with?"

"Governor Chu, please don't misunderstand, I meant land," Li Dakang quickly explained. He had heard this phrase from Sha Ruijin many times and had accidentally blurted it out.

"Luzhou doesn't even have an airport. Although its economic development is good, we can't expect investors to take a plane from the neighboring city and then transfer to another vehicle every time they want to travel. So there's no need to trouble Comrade Wenjie and his team too much."

"There's no suitable land in Jingzhou."

"I'll find it," Li Dakang patted his chest. "Governor Chu, don't worry, I'll go back and communicate with Mayor Ye to carefully find a suitable place."

Li Dakang finally realized what was going on. He wondered why Xiao Jin had told him these past two days that Ye Qian and Sun Liancheng had been investigating investors' information and searching for land sale information.

Now Chu Shijun understood this little thing; it was to tell him not to trip him up.

If they had told us earlier that a major client was coming to the area, he would definitely have taken the lead in finding the land. How could he possibly have caused trouble?

"I feel we didn't conduct a thorough enough review of the investors' information. We need to do a more detailed review to prevent illegal and unethical businessmen from acquiring the land. If such a situation occurs, the land must be reclaimed!"

"Yes, but don't infringe on the rights of legitimate businesses for the sake of land."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it myself."

Li Dakang assured him that he would not make mistakes in this matter. It was true that he was pursuing GDP growth, but he would not randomly select people for projects that Chu Shijun had specifically mentioned, lest something go wrong later. He would definitely do a good job.

"Then, Governor, I won't bother you any longer."

Li Dakang stood up and said that he felt a little uncomfortable sitting here, and also that he wanted to go back and take care of things.

I've been so busy lately, I need to get some projects done to relax.

"Well, Comrade Dakang, you must have stayed up all night. Go back and get some rest."

Chu Shijun laughed.

Li Dakang nodded gratefully. He had stayed up all night, and Sha Ruijin had asked him to do things without mentioning rest at all.

On the contrary, Chu Shijun on the other side knew to let him rest.

It's a pity. If he could do it all over again, he would choose Chu Shijun.

"This Li Dakang."

Watching Li Dakang's hurried departure, Chu Shijun shook his head and smiled.

They're good at managing the economy, but they're also the type to avoid taking the blame and shift the responsibility downwards, turning a blind eye to everything.

He brought this up today not to use Li Dakang, but mainly to let him know and provide assistance.

No matter what, he is the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City. If things are relaxed on his end, it will be much easier to get things done.

As for what happens next, he won't take a one-size-fits-all approach like Sha Ruijin did.

Unity and stability are paramount.

Seek survival through struggle and engage in strategic competition within development.

Stabilize people's livelihoods, protect employment, and promote development.

Only in this way can we go far and achieve stability.
