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

Finally, Chu Shijun looked at Liu Zhen, the president of the provincial court, and said, "Comrade Liu Zhen, the court needs to intervene in advance and make preparations for the trial."

"Secretary Chu, rest assured, our provincial court and lower courts have established special trial teams to coordinate with the procuratorate in advance, familiarize themselves with the case leads and evidence, and study and formulate trial plans," Liu Zhen said in a deep voice.

Chu Shijun nodded slightly. By this time, everyone had finished reporting.

"Comrades, last night's operation was swift, forceful, and highly effective. It did not disappoint the trust of the Provincial Party Committee or the expectations of the people of the province. But I must emphasize that the arrests are only the first step. The subsequent verification, investigation, trial, and cleanup will be even more challenging and subject to greater resistance."

He paused, then his tone suddenly became more forceful.

"I think you may have heard that I just met with an important guest. Some of you probably know who it is, so I won't name names."

No, please order! I didn't know!

Wang Hongqing became anxious again.

Chu Shijun said, word by word, "This case involves a life and endangers the safety of the people. At this critical juncture, someone first called my cell phone. After I sternly forbade it, they took the initiative to come to the provincial party committee and my office to plead for leniency. What a powerful influence they still have!"

'Bang bang'

Chu Shijun slammed his fist heavily on the table.

"I think there might still be people who are unwilling to give up and will go to some of you to plead for leniency."

"But I'm making this clear to you: in this case, no one, no force, is allowed to act as a protective umbrella or plead for leniency! I don't care if they're the wife of God or the wife of the Earth God, not even the King of Heaven himself!"

"Anyone here who slips up or slacks off will be dragged into a meeting with me to make a public apology!"

"Please rest assured, Secretary Chu!"

"Please rest assured, Secretary Chu, I will definitely perform my duties to the best of my ability!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and they quickly made promises.

Chu Shijun waved his hand and said, "Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk."

"As I said before, sunken ships should be abandoned and diseased trees should be removed. Only by clearing away the silt and eliminating the ills can we usher in a clear and bright future where 'a thousand sails pass by the sunken ship and ten thousand trees bloom before the diseased tree.'"

"Based on everyone's reports, I now clearly define the following six points, which everyone must strictly implement without any discounts or perfunctory actions."

"First, Comrade Huo Tancheng, in conjunction with the special task force of the public security bureau, should expedite the review and interrogation process, focusing on breaking through the case of those who refuse to cooperate. All core evidence must be secured within seven days, especially the evidence linking Gu Wangbei and Zhu Yang to the missing student's death, as well as the chain of illicit gains among the officials involved, ensuring irrefutable evidence that prevents any reversal of the verdict. Comrade Liu Zhen, the court should intervene early and simultaneously streamline the trial process to ensure seamless coordination and improve case-handling efficiency."

"Second, Comrade Liu Tonggu, continue to investigate the clues, expand the scope of the investigation, and focus on investigating the interest relationships of the Gu family, Yuanzhong, and Nanyun Group in various parts of the province. The system should also conduct a self-inspection simultaneously."

"Third, Comrades Sima Shenhe and Liu Zhenwen should take the lead in strengthening security control and hazard investigation. On the one hand, they should strengthen the supervision of those involved in the case, monitor assets, and conduct thorough investigations. On the other hand, they should intensify the investigation of organized crime, completely sever the chain of collusion between government and business and the breeding of organized crime, and strengthen public opinion control. When necessary, they should promptly release information on the progress of the case to guide public opinion and avoid panic."

"Fourth, Comrade Li Dakang, take the lead in maintaining stability in Zhencheng City."

……

After speaking, Chu Shijun glanced at everyone and asked, "Any questions?"

"Understood!" ×n

The crowd spoke in unison, their voices loud and clear, penetrating the walls.

Outside the meeting room, Zhao Zhi, who was about to knock on the door, paused slightly before finally putting his hand down and standing by the wall, making the staff on the other side extremely nervous.

Fortunately, Chu Shijun inside didn't say anything more. After only a dozen seconds, he opened the door and prepared to leave.

Upon opening the door, Zhao Zhi was immediately spotted outside.

"Secretary Chu, hello!"

"Comrade Zhao Zhi, what's going on here?"

Zhao Zhi quickly said, "I have something to report to you. I came here after learning that you were deploying work here."

Li Dakang and the others stood at the side door of the conference room, their eyes downcast and their minds focused.

"Oh, I see. Let's go to my office."

Chu Shijun didn't ask him why he didn't knock before coming in. He turned to Li Dakang and the others and said, "If you have nothing else to do, comrades, go ahead and get busy."

……

The two arrived at the office, where Ye Wentao served tea before leaving.

Chu Shijun picked up the cigarette case, offered Zhao Zhi a cigarette, lit it, and asked, "What can I do for you, Comrade Zhao Zhi?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhi took a deep drag of his cigarette and hesitated before saying, "Secretary, it's mainly related to the cases of the past two days..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Shijun's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "So, Comrade Zhao Zhi, you've come to plead for some people?"

Seeing the change in Chu Shijun's expression, Zhao Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Secretary, you misunderstand. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could help with. Besides, when I said I was pleading for someone, it wasn't what you think."

Chu Shijun's expression softened slightly, but his words still carried a warning: "I can tell you clearly that in this case, no one is allowed to plead for leniency or make exceptions. I don't care who contacted you, this ends here, and I don't want to hear anything like that again."

"Let me ask you first, in your understanding, what are my responsibilities within the province?"

"You are... the Party Secretary of Baijiang Province. The former is in charge of all work in Baijiang, while the latter is responsible for all matters within the province."

Zhao Zhi replied.

The two responsibilities may seem the same, but they actually represent different meanings.

The former type of person is in charge of a specific aspect of the work.

As Zhao Zhi said, people like Chu Shijun, Su Yunzhong, and Nie Dahai were in charge of all aspects of local work.

"You're right, so you need to understand that whether my decision is right or wrong is a matter for discussion with superiors. You need to understand your place regarding this case."

"When I was still in Handong, Comrade Ruijin said something to his subordinates: 'If you don't get close to the top leader, don't frequently appear in the top leader's sight, and don't treat the top leader as your political resource, then it will be difficult for you to be included in the scope of the organization's evaluation.'"

"I'm saying the same thing to you today."

Hearing these meaningful words, Zhao Zhi felt an even greater chill in his heart.

He knew this might be the final warning.

Just like his answer just now, what does it mean to take full charge?

Take Zhao Lichun and Sha Ruijin as examples. The people they reported and recommended would be considered by their superiors, but only considered.

The people Chu Shijun reported, besides his own chair, even Zhao Zhi's own chair had a 90% pass rate.

The 10% chance of failure must have been due to some reason, and the result must have been communicated with Chu Shijun.
