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

At this moment, Gao Yuliang also stepped forward, saying calmly, "I agree with Governor Chu's compromise suggestion. Although Comrade Chen Yanshi's words and actions in the Dafeng Factory incident were inappropriate, his initial intention was good, and no serious consequences were caused; the illegal sale of houses and the low-price rental were relatively minor offenses, and he only needs to pay the relevant fees and make a self-criticism. Giving him a lenient punishment within the Party and issuing an internal notice reflects the principle of equality before discipline while also taking into account humanistic care, which is quite appropriate."

The other standing committee members also expressed their opinions in turn. Basically, they all chose to agree with Chu Shijun's proposal because it was a matter of righteousness. It would be too harsh to punish an old comrade, considering that they also have a time to retire.

After all the Standing Committee members had expressed their opinions, Sha Ruijin took a deep breath, glanced at both sides, and said in a slightly muffled voice, his voice no longer as calm as before: "Comrades, I have heard all your opinions. There are differences, but the core consensus is the same."

"Comrade Chen Yanshi's violation of rules and regulations is true. He must rectify the violations within a specified period, pay the relevant fees, and make a profound self-criticism. At the same time, we must take into account both the seriousness of discipline and humanistic care, and make a reasonable decision based on his subjective motives, the consequences of his actions, and his past contributions."

"As everyone knows, Comrade Chen Yanshi is my adoptive father. I won't say too much here. Based on the disciplinary committee's suggestion and the discussion we just had, let's vote."

Soon, the results of the two rounds came out, and the disciplinary committee's recommendations were not adopted.

Sha Ruijin said in a deep voice:

"Based on the verification findings and the opinions of the Standing Committee members, and taking into account Comrade Chen Yanshi's subjective motives, the consequences of his actions, and his past contributions, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee has collectively decided to take the following actions against Comrade Chen Yanshi:"

"First, Comrade Chen Yanshi is hereby given a serious warning..."

After the decision was announced, all the standing committee members had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Gao Yuliang nodded slightly, indicating that he would strictly implement Sha Ruijin's requirements and do a good job in guiding and talking with Comrade Chen Yanshi.

Li Dakang, who was standing next to him, looked somewhat indifferent. He had only been calling him Old Chen for a few days, and now Old Chen was about to become Old Stone again.

This time, however, he saw it very clearly: Chu Shijun had thoroughly thwarted Sha Ruijin's move.

He never intended to gain any benefits, and now things have gotten worse, as can be seen from Sha Ruijin's consistently calm expression.

But he had no choice but to continue.

"The handling of Comrade Chen Yanshi this time not only upholds the seriousness of Party discipline, but also reflects the organizational principle of learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones and curing the disease to save the patient. At the same time, it respects the past contributions of veteran revolutionaries and leaders. It is hoped that all members of the Standing Committee will strictly implement the decision of the Standing Committee after this meeting and do a good job in the relevant follow-up work."

"At the same time, we hope that all members of the Standing Committee and all cadres will take Comrade Chen Yanshi's case as a warning, and regardless of their position or age, they must always keep discipline in mind, strictly abide by the rules, be honest and self-disciplined, and never forget their original aspiration and mission."

"Comrades, today's resolution is a collective decision of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, representing the attitude of our Handong Provincial Party Committee. All departments and relevant units at all levels must strictly implement and resolutely carry it out, without any discounts, deviations, delays, or shirking of responsibility. This matter ends here. No private discussions, no arbitrary dissemination, and no unnecessary complications are allowed. We must do our utmost to handle the follow-up work on the case and guide public opinion, minimizing the negative impact."

'Pa pa pa'

As Sha Ruijin finished speaking, everyone nodded and applauded. At the same time, some people had already put down their pens and started organizing their documents.

Then Sha Ruijin said, "These incidents happened very closely and in quick succession. They involve both personal issues and reflect some work-related problems. The Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Propaganda Department should maintain close communication and strengthen the construction of the ideological front in their follow-up work."

Jiang Yuzhen and Gao Yuliang nodded, indicating that they understood.

Then Sha Ruijin turned to Chu Shijun and said with a smile, "Comrade Shijun, Comrade Qi Tongwei returned yesterday, right?"

"Yes, Comrade Tongwei returned yesterday. I was just about to tell Comrade Ruijin that we should hold a meeting to announce and elect Comrade Tongwei," Chu Shijun nodded.

After Qi Tongwei's appointment as a deputy provincial-level official is announced, it will go through a process at the general meeting and then be announced again at the provincial government meeting.

"I've received the notification. The preliminary timeframe is the day after tomorrow." After a pause, Sha Ruijin suddenly praised, "Comrades, Comrade Qi Tongwei is an outstanding public security bureau chief. Comrade Qi Tongwei led the team to tackle the Tazhai case, eradicating this cross-provincial scourge. The results have been publicly commended by the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Ministry of Public Security, enhancing the reputation of Handong Public Security and maintaining long-term stability throughout the province. His merits are well-deserved."

Upon hearing this, the Standing Committee members present basically understood his true intentions.

Start by making a big splash.

Sure enough, Sha Ruijin then said:

"But comrades must understand that the responsibilities of a deputy provincial-level official are completely different from those of a public security bureau director. After being promoted, Comrade Qi Tongwei will be at the provincial level, one of the senior leading cadres, responsible for coordinating long-term drug control, major stability maintenance coordination, and cross-regional political and legal collaboration. A large part of his energy will be diverted from the daily affairs of the public security bureau to focus on major issues and manage the overall situation."

Sha Ruijin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his true intentions revealed: "The Provincial Public Security Department has a large scope and heavy tasks, with countless daily affairs. It is essential to have a dedicated, on-duty, and reliable principal leader to take charge of all daily work and ensure the smooth flow and effective implementation of government orders. This is both a respect for Comrade Qi Tongwei's responsibilities as a vice-provincial level official and a practical necessity for public security work."

"Comrade Shijun, what do you think?"

Sha Ruijin looked at Chu Shijun and asked with a smile.

In his view, Chu Shijun had no possibility of refusing.

Because he had also seen the news and noticed some clues from the personnel changes at the Ministry of Public Security, he knew that Qi Tongwei wouldn't stay in Handong for long.

The main purpose of his return this time, with the appointment as deputy governor, is to familiarize himself with the operation of the provincial government and the strategic vision of his peers, in preparation for his transfer to the Ministry of Public Security.

Therefore, Sha Ruijin never mentioned that Qi Tongwei would resign from the Public Security Bureau after being appointed as the vice governor, because it was not worth it and would offend Chu Shijun instead.

But to put it more tactfully, it's a win-win situation for everyone, so he wasn't worried that Chu Shijun would refuse.

"Comrade Ruijin, now that Comrade Qi Tongwei has been promoted to the vice-provincial level, he should be in charge of a larger situation. The Public Security Department does indeed need a mature, steady, and experienced comrade to preside over its daily operations."

Chu Shijun was well aware of Sha Ruijin's thoughts, and immediately followed up, "Comrade Ruijin, what do you think of Wu Zhenyu, the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau? I've seen his past achievements; he's very good, responsible, capable, and experienced."

Sha Ruijin's smile faded slightly, and he frowned, saying, "The director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau? I'm afraid that's not quite appropriate. Although he is also the deputy director of the provincial department, his work focus is still on the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, and his rank is also somewhat inappropriate. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among other comrades in the Public Security Department's leadership team."
