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

Chu Shijun learned of this news when he went up there last time.

When the inspection team came to Handong that time, the Organization Department was also supposed to send one person, who was not only the deputy leader of the inspection team, but also responsible for the investigation and interview with Gao Yuliang.

However, Zhao Lichun faced it calmly, while Nie Dahai and Xia Qiusheng were the ones who jumped up and down the most.

First, they raised their opinions on Gao Yuliang's place of work multiple times, but were suppressed by the Huang family and others. Then they brought up Zhao Dagong, wanting him to come to Handong.

The situation in Handong is now stable, and Chu Shijun will not allow anyone to disrupt it.

Therefore, they intervened.

The other side could only make a roundabout way, sending Zhao Dagong to Baiyun at the end of the year.

"White Clouds"

Sha Ruijin sighed inwardly; he was somewhat envious of this place.

But his family knows his own situation. Judging from his work during this period, they are happy enough that he wasn't asked to give a performance review.

He dared not hope for anything further.

In any case, he was relieved that Zhao Dagong wasn't coming to Handong.

He knew something about this person.

Previously, they were everywhere, vying for dominance in every direction.

Bian west angered Zhong Mingren of the Zhong family so much that he suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized.

He wasn't in good health himself and didn't want to get upset by the other person and end up in the hospital; otherwise, he would lose all face.

But thinking of Bai Yun, Sha Ruijin couldn't help but glance at Chu Shijun. He had heard from his father-in-law that this man had originally intended to go there. He had chosen to come to Handong for some reason, so would the other party also go?

Just then, Chu Shijun looked over, and their eyes met in mid-air.

As if guessing what the other person was thinking, he asked directly, "Comrade Ruijin, are you wondering when I'm leaving?"

These words immediately resonated with the others.

Sha Ruijin quickly denied it, saying, "No, I really enjoyed working with you, Comrade Shijun. I'd love to see you go. If you leave, where will I find such a good deputy squad leader?"

"Comrade Ruijin, are you worried that I'll take the project with me when I leave?"

Chu Shijun hit the nail on the head, directly addressing the root cause.

Sha Ruijin choked for a moment, realizing the other person was joking. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "For people like us, a good project landing is a political achievement, so of course we're reluctant to let it go, haha."

"Then you can rest assured, we'll at least finish assembling the team within this year."

Chu Shijun spoke with a hidden meaning.

At least this year?

Suddenly, Sha Ruijin felt a surge of unease, like a cat scratching at his heart, and a sudden urge to smoke. He said, "Shall we go outside and talk?"

"Okay, let's go to the yard."

Everyone went out of the house and into the courtyard.

"Come on, Comrade Dakang, we're all here, have a couple of cigarettes. Comrade Xiao Ai won't say anything, will she?"

Sha Ruijin took out cigarettes and offered them to everyone.

"No, that won't happen."

Li Dakang smiled awkwardly. If he didn't accept the offer, it would not only be disrespectful, but it would also imply that he was afraid of his wife, which was unacceptable.

"Comrade Shijun, would you like to talk about what just happened?"

Chu Shijun did not refuse upon hearing this. Everyone who needed to know already knew, and there was nothing he couldn't say.

"This matter is also related to our arrival in Handong. Everyone knows what our mission in Handong is."

Everyone nodded silently, agreeing with Zhao Lichun, Zhao Ruilong, and the others' network.

Of course, the deeper level of this knowledge is currently known to everyone except Li Dakang.

"Originally, it would have been enough for Comrade Ruijin to come alone. Governor Liu would continue to oversee things until he retires at the end of the year. I wasn't originally going to come to Handong, but due to some changes, after careful consideration between Haixi and Handong, I finally chose to come."

Chu Shijun narrowed his eyes, looking at the empty road outside the courtyard.

"Now that Zhao Lichun and others have been apprehended, the task facing Comrade Ruijin and me is to stabilize the overall situation and propel Handong onto a new path of development. We can't allow things to stagnate after this rectification, can we?"

"That's true."

Sha Ruijin strongly agreed, saying that if the development momentum was not as good as when Zhao Lichun was in charge, then he had come for nothing.

"Comrade Yuliang, as the full-time deputy secretary in charge of discipline inspection and organization work, and also shouldering the responsibility of political and legal affairs, although you are to be promoted at the end of the year, you cannot slack off before you leave. You must share more of the burdens for me and Comrade Shijun."

It was an open secret that Gao Yuliang was going to be transferred to someone at their level, and no one present was afraid of anything, so he spoke very frankly.

"What, Comrade Ruijin, aren't you afraid I'll interfere too much and steal your job now?"

"Whether you do more or less, it's all about serving the people. I'd love for you to do all the work so I can relax. Anyway, you can't take my job."

Sha Ruijin said in a relaxed and comfortable tone.

Now, he truly feels that taking a step back opens up a whole new world, and he's not so tired anymore.

As long as you don't listen to Tian Guofu's instigation, everything goes very smoothly.

For the past two weeks, he has had no health problems.

Occasionally, I would call Tian Guofu over to criticize him, which made me feel even better.

"Therefore, Comrade Ruijin, we must be cautious in every step of the development of Handong. As a province with a strong economy, we should make progress under our leadership and give the organization and the people an explanation."

Chu Shijun continued,

"Today, the three of us are all here, which is not a common occurrence in private, so we can speak frankly about some things."

Sha Ruijin casually tossed away his cigarette butt, lit another one, and listened attentively.

"Everyone knows your previous work style; it was very tough. When we brought you to Handong, your reputation gave people the feeling of being decisive and determined."

"My coming here is also a choice. Governor Liu is about to retire, and you, as the leader, have a tough style. He will inevitably loosen his grip on some issues. Therefore, I came here to put the brakes on some things for you."

Sha Ruijin nodded silently. This was the truth. Besides his father-in-law's advice, he had also figured it out himself.

Zhuge Liang was cautious throughout his life, while Lü Duan was never confused about important matters.

When one holds great power, one is like Zhuge Liang of Shu Han or Lü Duan of Northern Song.

One should be easygoing in ordinary times, but when faced with matters of principle, one must have the determination to make decisive decisions and dare to take charge.

This is something that Chu Shijun, as he himself knows it or as others have said, has always done in the past.

He himself was still a little short. Just as he told Li Dakang at the time, he was the Party Secretary, and the Party Secretary was the top leader. He was the Mayor, and the Mayor was the top leader.

It sounds impressive, but now he clearly understands that he was walking a tightrope, dancing on the edge of a knife.

If it weren't for the Shen family's protection, and his own abilities, he might have crossed the line.

At this moment, Chu Shijun said again, "Speaking of which, the one who really put the brakes on you, Comrade Ruijin, was actually someone else."

As he said this, a subtle expression appeared on his face.

Sha Ruijin was taken aback. Someone else?

Seeing Chu Shijun turn his head and look in one direction, he quickly turned his gaze as well, looking at the villa in the distance.

The secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission is Tian Guofu.

At that moment, a room on the second floor had its lights on and the curtains tightly drawn.

But when he looked over, the light suddenly went out.
