the other side.

Chu Shijun and Zhao Zhi, whose agenda for the day had concluded, received the news immediately.

The former smiled slightly, while the latter was pondering a solution.

For Zhao Zhi, Zhu Yang still needed to be protected. Although he hadn't been able to promote him to the position of Party Secretary of Zhencheng City, the position of Mayor was equally important.

The real challenge is how to resolve this.

After all, the other party had thoroughly offended Li Dakang.

"It's difficult!"

……

The next day.

The relevant meetings have temporarily concluded. Individuals like Sha Ruijin, Ding Long, Gao Yuliang, and Zhao Zhi have other commitments.

They are about to embark on a three-day learning activity at the school.

As the name suggests, it is a short-term provincial and ministerial-level training course.

Early in the morning, a group of students arrived at the school and, led by staff, entered the large classroom.

Although it's called a classroom, it's actually more like a meeting room; here, it's referred to as an auditorium.

The lecture hall was dimly lit. Ten minutes before the start, students including Sha Ruijin and Gao Yuliang arrived one after another and took their seats in turn, each carrying a book, notebook, and pen.

Five minutes later, the door opened and a group of people walked in.

Zhong Zhenguo, Chu Shijun, and several others.

Everyone stand up immediately.

Chung Cheng-kuo now holds the position previously held by Sun Cheng-chu, and also serves as the principal.

In addition to the two individuals, the executive vice president, the director of the academic affairs department, and others were also present.

The staff adjusted the microphone, and the PPT presentation lit up on the large screen behind them.

Then, the executive vice president stepped forward, adjusted the microphone, and began in a deep voice: "Good morning, fellow trainees and comrades. As per the relevant arrangements, a three-day training program will begin today. During this period, in accordance with regulations..."

He explained the three-day study schedule and school regulations, then gestured to introduce the program:

"Today, we are honored to have Comrade Chu Shijun, Secretary of the Baijiang Provincial Party Committee, give a special lecture to us."

"Comrade Chu Shijun has worked in local areas for a long time, from the grassroots to the provincial leadership position. He has rich practical experience in local governance, team building, and anti-corruption, and has profound thoughts and unique insights into local development and cadre performance in the new era."

"At the same time, ... Principal Zhong Zhenguo is here in person. Let us welcome Principal Zhong and Secretary Chu with warm applause!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Sha Ruijin, Gao Yuliang, and other trainees looked up, their eyes fixed on the podium, their expressions respectful.

The applause was loud and lasted for almost a minute.

Then, Zhong Zhenguo stepped onto the microphone, his posture upright, and his tone steady as he said, "Dear students and comrades, after careful consideration, it has been decided to appoint Comrade Chu Shijun as a part-time professor of the school, a mentor for the advanced training program, and the chief mentor for the students."

"Comrade Chu Shijun is a model cadre for local governance. During his tenure in places like Handong, he stabilized the overall situation, rectified the conduct of cadres, and promoted high-quality development. He has accumulated a lot of replicable and scalable practical experience in preventing and resolving local debt, combating corruption in the land sector, and building team cohesion."

"Today, Comrade Chu Shijun will share his insights on the core requirements of 'upholding political principles, adhering to bottom lines, and daring to take responsibility' in local governance, drawing on his own work experience. This is both a theoretical guide and a practical sharing."

"I hope everyone will listen attentively, think deeply, and apply what they have learned to their work, so as to effectively fulfill their responsibilities as leaders in their respective areas."

"Now, let's welcome Comrade Chu Shijun with warm applause to give us his lecture!"

'Pa pa pa pa'

As soon as he finished speaking, enthusiastic applause rang out again in the auditorium. Zhong Zhenguo nodded to Chu Shijun and then moved with the others to one side of the stage to take their seats.

Then, Chu Shijun stepped forward, nodded slightly in greeting, and slowly scanned the audience, spotting Sha Ruijin, Ding Long, Gao Yuliang, and others. He then picked up the microphone and began to speak:

"Good morning, fellow students and comrades. It is a great honor to sit down with you as an adjunct professor to exchange ideas and discuss matters. You all bear the heavy responsibility of developing, maintaining stability, and ensuring the well-being of the people in your respective regions. We deeply understand the challenges you face."

"Today, I won't talk too much about abstract theories. Based on my experience working in local areas, I will talk about four aspects of the theme of 'Upholding Integrity and Performing Duties with Integrity, Exercising Power with Integrity, and Doing a Good Job in Local Governance in the New Era.' This is both a sharing and a mutual encouragement. Please feel free to raise any questions or share your opinions at any time."

As he spoke, the courseware on the large screen behind him switched accordingly.

"First, uphold the bottom line and build a 'firewall' for clean governance."

"This is the key point I want to make today, and it is also the lifeline that each of us must protect."

"Currently, the fight against corruption remains severe and complex. Land transfers, engineering construction, project approvals, and state-owned asset transactions are all high-risk areas for corruption and places where officials are prone to 'stumble'..."

……

As Chu Shijun spoke on stage, the large screen behind him switched content in an orderly manner, displaying images and data.

The students in the audience were taking notes diligently.

"Do any of you students have any questions?"

Chu Shijun asked.

Most people shook their heads. At this moment, Gao Yuliang stood up, raised his hand, and said, "Teacher Chu, I would like to ask you a question." (Ahem, the author's level is not high enough, I have never been to that school, please forgive the way I address you.)

How did he stand up?

Some people want to laugh but dare not. Everyone knows you used to be Chu Shijun's teacher, and now you're calling him that instead. Is that right?

On the stage, Chu Shijun saw the mischievous smile in Gao Yuliang's eyes, rolled his eyes inwardly, and nodded, saying, "Comrade Yuliang, please speak."

"Now, all regions want to develop, launch projects, and revitalize land resources, but they are also afraid of crossing the red line of integrity and causing internal divisions within their leadership teams. I would like to ask, how can we strike a balance between development and regulations, so as not to jeopardize the overall situation, cross the bottom line, or cause internal friction?"

Gao Yuliang stated his problem.

Everyone listened intently, waiting for the answer; it was a very good question.

Chu Shijun nodded slightly, his expression calm, and said unhurriedly, "I have three pieces of advice for everyone. First, in important matters, adhere to principles; in minor matters, show style. Second, procedures take precedence over personal relationships, and rules supersede schedules. Third, the Party Secretary sets the direction, the Mayor oversees implementation, and each member of the leadership team fulfills their responsibilities."

"It can be slower, but it can't be chaotic. It can be delayed in implementation, but there can't be any underhanded manipulation. We can't use votes to override principles, we can't use development as an excuse to cross red lines, and we absolutely cannot turn public resources into bargaining chips for personal and commercial transactions..."

Everyone took notes diligently, writing at lightning speed.

Zhao Zhi listened and discerned the deeper meaning behind it.

Isn't this referring to what happened yesterday between Li Dakang and Zhu Yang in Zhencheng City?

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked towards the podium. Just then, Chu Shijun's gaze swept over them and met his eyes.

Zhao Zhi was immediately startled. He quickly put on a smile and then lowered his head to write in his notebook.
