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

After sitting down, Sha Ruijin glanced at Yi Xuexi in the second row on his left and sighed inwardly.

He naturally knew about what happened at the Jingzhou Municipal Standing Committee meeting a couple of days ago.

To be honest, he was quite satisfied, because he transferred Yi Xuexi there to encourage him to be bold and determined, to investigate problems, and to correct attitudes.

However, he didn't quite agree with the other party's approach; it was too rigid.

He had only been in office for less than a week, and in just two standing committee meetings, he had already offended all the leading cadres in Jingzhou City. Now, he can't even get a secretary position because no one dares to take it.

Even yesterday, Xiaobai told him that Yi Xuexi now has a new nickname, something like "Handong's Number One Mixer," and that there are a bunch of towering white jade pillars in Handong.

Thinking of this, while organizing the documents, he glanced at Tian Guofu, who had been silent throughout the five-person group meeting.

Why can't these two people switch personalities? If Tian Guofu were as brave as Yi Xuexi, that would be great.

Cough cough

Just then, Chu Shijun coughed twice and kicked Sha Ruijin under the table, reminding him that it was time to speak.

"Ahem, comrades, let's begin the meeting."

"Today's expanded meeting of the Standing Committee has three main agenda items. The first is the resolution on the appointment of certain comrades. The second is that Comrade Li Dakang will make the following explanations on some matters. The third is that Comrade Yuliang will give a major report on the province-wide anti-corruption campaign passed by the last Standing Committee meeting."

Sha Ruijin held the microphone and picked up the document to read aloud.

After speaking, he put down the document.

"In addition, today's Standing Committee meeting was expanded to include only Comrade Yi Xuexi, who is the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City, and is attending as an observer."

"Xiao Bai, make tea for the Standing Committee members."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

Making tea? That's novel. Can't we drink the water we brought?

No one spoke, and Bai Jingwen and several staff members poured tea for each person on the conference table.

Sha Ruijin pointed to the steaming teacup in front of him and said with a smile, "This tea was picked by Comrade Yi Xuexi's wife herself. Comrades, try it and see what you think. If you like it, you might as well buy some to help out."

He had already made the recommendation when he held a cadre symposium in Lüzhou.

The reason for bringing them here is to support Yi Xuexi and, incidentally, to give Li Dakang a heads-up.

"Comrade Dakang, how does it taste?"

Thinking of this, he looked at the expressionless Li Dakang and asked with a smile.

"hot!"

Li Dakang only said one word, then picked up his thermos cup, which had several scratches, unscrewed the lid, and the cup was steaming. But he still frowned and took a sip, his face turning red, but he didn't put it down.

*Pfft*

Yang Xiaofeng couldn't hold it in and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and Lin Wenjie next to him was not to be outdone.

"Hehe, then wait until it's a little warm before drinking it."

Sha Ruijin's hand tightened almost imperceptibly. It seemed that after the meeting, he would still have to have a heart-to-heart talk with Comrade Dakang.

"Alright, enough of the small talk. Let's begin with the first item on the agenda: the appointment decisions for some comrades," Sha Ruijin said in a deep voice. "Comrade Chunlin, please report on behalf of the Organization Department."

"Okay, Secretary Sha."

Wu Chunlin nodded, then picked up the document, glanced at everyone, and read aloud:

"The first item is the nomination of a candidate for Vice Mayor of Jingzhou City. Comrade Wu Zhenyu, Director of the Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau, is currently at the deputy provincial level. He is politically steadfast, professionally competent, and has demonstrated outstanding performance in maintaining stability and combating organized crime."

"Upon recommendation by the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government and the Municipal Organization Department, and with the unanimous agreement of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department and the Provincial Public Security Department, Comrade Wu Zhenyu is nominated to serve as Vice Mayor of Jingzhou (at the ministerial level). If approved, the Provincial Government will subsequently submit the nomination to the Jingzhou Municipal People's Congress for appointment according to procedure."

"The second item is the position of Director of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau. The former director, Hou Liangping, was expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office for committing a crime... and is currently being temporarily overseen by Comrade Lü Liang, the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

"Upon recommendation by the Provincial Government and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and following investigation, Comrade Zhang Jianchao, Director of the First Comprehensive Division of the General Office of the Provincial Government (at the level of a full-fledged division chief), is politically reliable and familiar with the law and government operations. He is proposed for promotion to Director of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau (at the level of a deputy provincial-level department head). The opinions of the Provincial Procuratorate and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have been solicited, and both have expressed their agreement. If approved, the appointment will be made by the Provincial Anti-Corruption Committee in accordance with legal procedures."

"The third item,..."

"The fourth item,..."

After speaking, Wu Chunlin put down the document.

"The evaluation materials, integrity opinions, and personal reports of these candidates have been distributed to all members of the Standing Committee for your review."

Sha Ruijin nodded and said, "Comrades, please share your opinions on the appointments of the comrades that Comrade Chunlin just mentioned."

What are you going to announce? Wasn't this all pre-arranged by you?

As the saying goes, Chu Shijun began, “I know Comrade Wu Zhenyu. He has worked in the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau for many years. He is brave and decisive, and he has made great contributions to the stability of Jingzhou’s public security in the past two years. Serving as the vice mayor is conducive to coordinating political and legal work and maintaining stability. I think this proposal is reasonable.”

Gao Yuliang: "We, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, have been paying attention to Comrade Wu Zhenyu's work, and the Provincial Department has also recommended him. He is a suitable candidate, which is conducive to the coordination of public security work between the province and the city."

Tian Guofu: "Wu Zhenyu has no issues with integrity. The position of police chief is special, and Comrade Wu Zhenyu meets the requirements."

Huh, this guy didn't nitpick today?

Yang Xiaofeng was somewhat disappointed. Why was Tian Guofu being so obedient today?

Li Dakang: "I fully support the decision of the Provincial Party Committee. Comrade Wu Zhenyu has worked effectively in Jingzhou and has been unanimously recognized. Our Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government fully support him."

He seemed somewhat absent-minded, and after finishing speaking, he kept looking at the document in his hand, which was the draft of his self-criticism to be written later.

"..."

After everyone else had expressed their opinions, it was time to discuss the selection of the director of the provincial anti-corruption bureau.

Gao Yuliang said, "Comrade Zhang Jianchao has a solid work style, understands the law and government procedures, and is suitable for the work of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Our Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Party Group of the subordinate Procuratorate unanimously agree."

Ignoring the stares of others, Tian Guofu spoke up, "This comrade has a good record of integrity and self-discipline, with no negative feedback, and is suitable for a position in the discipline inspection and judicial system."

"..."

Soon, all the Standing Committee members had finished expressing their opinions.

Sha Ruijin nodded and said in a deep voice, "It seems that everyone is in agreement. Now let's vote on the appointments. First, those who agree to appoint Wu Zhenyu as the vice mayor of Jingzhou, please raise your hands."

Hands were raised one after another, and there were no unexpected problems.

"Secondly, those who agree with the appointment of Comrade Zhang Jianchao as the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, please raise your hands."

"..."

All the proposals were approved unanimously.

"Unanimously approved."

"After the meeting, the Organization Department will proceed with the public announcement and appointment process according to procedure. Comrade Wu Zhenyu is requested to take up his post as soon as possible. The Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee will cooperate in the relevant work regarding the appointment of the new Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Zhang Jianchao, and should quickly get things moving."

After speaking, Sha Ruijin glanced at Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang on his right.

"Comrade Yuliang, Comrade Dakang, please coordinate well."

"Okay." ×2

"So,"

"Now we will move on to the second item, regarding the so-called whistleblower video targeting Comrade Dakang. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has led a comprehensive investigation. Now, I would like to invite Comrade Tian Guofu from the Commission for Discipline Inspection to introduce the investigation results and announce the conclusions."

After Sha Ruijin finished speaking in a deep voice, Li Dakang's hand trembled and his head lowered slightly.

Everyone else sat up straight, their ears perked up.

Yi Xuexi, sitting in the second row, placed his hand on his briefcase and his expression turned serious.
