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

"Hehe, I was just saying that when I mentioned Comrade Dakang to come to Zhencheng, Comrade Qiusheng wasn't very willing at first. Why did he suddenly change his mind later?" Chu Shijun shook his head with a smile.

It seems that Xia Qiusheng was also afraid that if he promoted someone like Zhu Yang, the other party would immediately find a new employer after he stepped down.

Therefore, the fruit was actually lost by the other party themselves.

"Let's talk about other people."

Sima Shenhe nodded and continued, "Those local Standing Committee members...most of them are deeply involved with local state-owned enterprises and the resource industry. They are afraid that the rectification of work style and strict investigation of discipline will affect the people around them, so they are deliberately cooperating passively."

"The deeper issues, especially those involving a real estate developer, involve some matters concerning our department. According to principle, Comrade Dakang, you are not authorized to know these matters. I am currently compiling the information and will report to Secretary Chu separately later."

The two nodded.

Sima Shenhe's words were very eloquent. He said he had no right to know, but he had almost pointed out that some people had problems.

"As for those young cadres that Comrade Dakang mentioned who are willing to work, I know who they are. They have a clean background and a pragmatic style, but they lack support from above and are suppressed by the old leadership, making it difficult for them to achieve anything."

"Comrade Dakang, if you want to get things moving, you can first make good use of this group of pragmatists, stabilize the middle-of-the-road observers, and temporarily avoid a head-on collision with the established local forces."

After he finished speaking, Li Dakang sincerely thanked him, saying, "Comrade Shenhe, thank you very much. You have really opened up a new way of thinking for me."

"Hehe, Comrade Dakang, you're too kind. As long as you can get started on your work as soon as possible, it will also benefit the development of Zhencheng City. I'm just indirectly serving the people in this way."

Sima Shenhe replied.

"Comrade Dakang, Comrade Shenhe has explained things very clearly. I think you now have a better understanding of the situation in Zhencheng City, and may even have some initial ideas for a solution."

Chu Shijun said slowly,

"There is one thing you must remember: as the top leader, you must have the authority of the top leader."

"But this authority is not based on a one-man rule, but on trust."

"This is the foundation for the smooth implementation of government orders. Zhencheng City is an economically strong city, ranking among the top in the country. You can say that it is a vehicle traveling at high speed. As the driver, you must ensure that the speed increases while also maintaining stability."

"You should handle the situation that Comrade Shenhe just mentioned regarding the team well. Replace any broken parts with new ones, and get the team stable and united as soon as possible so that it can move forward."

"You are the Party Secretary of Zhencheng City, chosen by the organization. We believe in you and that you can develop Zhencheng well. Remember, always put serving the people first. The Provincial Party Committee and I stand behind you, so don't have any worries."

Li Dakang was overjoyed; he had achieved his goal for coming today.

How to quickly stabilize a team?

The answer is to remove those who are difficult to handle from the team and bring in more suitable colleagues.

Chu Shijun's words almost made it clear that, according to some conventions, as the newly appointed secretary of the Zhencheng Municipal Party Committee, he needed to have his own standing committee, and the names he proposed would be carefully considered and approved by the higher authorities.

This applies everywhere, as long as it's not too excessive.

"Thank you for your guidance and trust, Secretary Chu. Please rest assured that I will definitely follow your ideas, prioritize stability, and take practical action to stabilize the leadership team in Zhencheng and make progress. I will never let you down."

Li Dakang said in a deep voice.

After Chu Shijun nodded, he lit a cigarette and drank some tea. Next, it was Sima Shenhe's turn.

"Comrade Shenhe, what brings you here today?"

Chu Shijun looked at him and asked.

"Hehe, this..."

Sima Shenhe rubbed his hands together and smiled sheepishly.

"Secretary Chu, I heard that Executive Director Zhao has resigned from his position as Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Many people are watching closely. There are candidates recommended by local veteran cadres, as well as voices from higher authorities suggesting the appointment of cadres from other places."

He abruptly changed the subject, saying bluntly, "Secretary Chu, I desperately want to get promoted!"

Li Dakang's lips twitched. Isn't this the Mandarin of Handong?

"I have worked in the public security system in Xinjiang for many years. I know the foundation of the political and legal teams in the province, the background of various groups, and the hidden dangers in the political and legal departments of various cities. In terms of professional ability, seniority and experience, as well as control over the local situation, I am confident that I can shoulder the responsibility of the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee."

Sima Shenhe stated his advantages with conviction.

"Therefore, I would like to humbly recommend myself to you and the Provincial Party Committee."

Chu Shijun picked up his teacup and took a slow sip. As he expected, Sima Shenhe had indeed come to talk about this.

No wonder Ding Long said Shen He was shameless when he called him; it was indeed true.

He even volunteered to him and the provincial party committee. If that were the case, he should have gone to the provincial party committee building or the organization department to talk to them. Why did he go to his house?

"Comrade Shenhe, the fact that you came here to recommend yourself shows that you are confident. At the meeting before, Comrade Dakang recommended you to the Provincial Party Committee. I think you know that. Since you have come to see me again today, I can also reassure you."

Chu Shijun narrowed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

"The position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission is not a matter of seniority, but rather the 'stabilizing force' of the entire provincial political and legal system. It is crucial to the stability of the entire system. It involves a great deal of influence."

"First, one must be politically sound and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the provincial party committee. Second, one must be able to keep order and control the various senior officials in the public security, procuratorate, court, and judicial systems, and suppress the local unhealthy tendencies. Third, one must be clean in one's own right, without any vested interests, in order to have the confidence to rectify the team and regulate the atmosphere."

"I have seen your abilities, qualifications, and familiarity with the local situation, and I also recognize your stance and character. I heard that Comrade Ding Long recommended you before. As the then governor, he must know you better. Since he recommended you, it means he believes in your abilities."

"However, the outcome will depend on the comprehensive considerations of all of you. I can't just decide on your name based on your two trips here."

Sima Shenhe nodded vigorously and said quickly, "Secretary Chu, don't worry, I'm definitely not here to run for a position. I believe the Organization Department will definitely consider the most suitable candidate from multiple perspectives. Even if it's not me, I will still do my job well."

Li Dakang, standing to the side, secretly rolled his eyes. What kind of talk is that? If you're not the final choice, I'll change my mind!

"Yes, that's good. What you need to do now is to do your job in the Public Security Bureau in a down-to-earth manner, to firmly grasp the work of maintaining stability, cracking down on organized crime, and rectifying the work style of cadres throughout the province, to stand firm on your position, to adhere to the bottom line, and not to be impatient for quick results."

"The provincial party committee has its own considerations regarding the overall personnel situation. When the time is right, it will naturally give opportunities to those who work diligently and have a firm stance."
