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

"Through a month-long special cleanup, the long-standing problems of lax and weak foreign affairs management, unclear data, and lax control within the province have been thoroughly rectified. The shortcomings in foreign affairs governance, grassroots risk control, and social governance in developed provinces have been addressed, hidden risks and hidden dangers have been eliminated, and the order of foreign affairs management and social governance throughout the province has become more standardized, rigorous, and controllable."

"Current shortcomings: Some urban-rural fringe areas and small private apartments still have hidden loopholes due to the wide coverage and short operation time. Some districts and counties have problems such as perfunctory investigation, untimely data updates, and imperfect normalized management and control mechanisms. In the future, it is necessary to establish a normalized dynamic investigation mechanism to prevent the problem from rebounding and recurring."

"What about public opinion during the operation?"

Chu Shijun nodded and pressed for an answer.

Upon hearing this, Sima Shenhe looked at Propaganda Minister Hu Xue with a strange expression.

"this,"

Hu Xue pursed her lips. "Secretary Chu, our publicity department followed up on the whole process. There was basically no negative public opinion during the operation. There were two occasional incidents, but they were either instigated by foreign chambers of commerce or a few people releasing negative information to gain traffic. Specifically, since the operation started, 99% of the feedback has been positive. Everyone is very supportive of this operation."

"There is evidence to support this."

Li Jiageng interjected.

"By the end of last month, half a month after the operation began, public satisfaction had increased significantly. Among the policies we implemented and the actions we made public, this work received the highest score. Many people expressed their hope that the operation would continue and become a regular practice."

"That's right. According to data from the Department of Culture and Tourism, the number of tourists this month has increased significantly compared to the same period in previous years, and the indirect economic benefits are very obvious. Based on our big data model analysis, this impact is partly due to the previous preferential policies, and partly due to the effects of this campaign."

Hu Xue nodded in agreement.

"That's why I said, comrades, when Secretary Chu brought this up before, we all had concerns about this and that."

Li Dakang shrugged.

"Now the facts have proven that Secretary Chu was right. His vision was much broader than ours. We only thought about dispelling the public opinion impact, external pressure, and pressure from superiors caused by outsiders."

"Secretary Chu saw through the surface to the essence, and he acted in accordance with the voice of the people. That's why this operation was so successful. This great strategic vision and pragmatic approach are something we should seriously learn from!"

"Yes, that makes sense."

"Comrade Dakang is right, our understanding is not quite there yet."

"We should learn more from Secretary Chu!"

"This is great..."

"..."

"Alright, alright."

Chu Shijun smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying, "You all keep trying to elevate me to the heavens. Can't you all just do your jobs properly and let me do mine? That way, I'll have a reason to brag about you all."

"Hahaha"

The laughter in the meeting room subsided, and Chu Shijun affirmed, "Comrade Shenhe just reported on the special foreign-related operations over the past month, and the feedback from all sides has been very good, which is a good thing. However, we must not be complacent, for pride comes before a fall. Our work going forward must be even more rigorous and meticulous."

"Therefore, in the future, the governance of foreign affairs should shift from 'special clean-up' to 'normalized and long-term governance'. This month of concentrated rectification has solved the existing problems, but developed provinces have frequent foreign affairs flows and many risk points. We must not be vigilant for a while and then relax, thinking that we have done a good job this time and that we have cleaned up the mess."

"All cities and counties, as well as all law enforcement and port units, must quickly establish a normalized dynamic screening, real-name registration, and risk warning mechanism, make good use of big data trajectory prediction, safeguard the bottom line of social governance, and build a solid security defense line."

"Secretary Chu, after the meeting we will work with the Publicity Department and other relevant departments to conduct a special review and quickly implement follow-up work arrangements," Sima Shenhe replied.

"Um,"

Chu Shijun nodded slightly. "Comrades, is there anything else you wish to discuss?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Alright, that's all for today's meeting."

As Chu Shijun finished speaking, a staff member quickly handed him the meeting minutes. While signing them, he said, "The faster we develop, the stricter our work style must be; the more open we are, the firmer our bottom line must be. Our entire Baijiang province must not only be a pioneer in counterpart assistance and regional development, but also a model for work style construction, grassroots governance, and bottom-line security. We must ensure the steady and long-term high-quality development of the entire province through a rigorous work style, fair mechanisms, and long-term governance."

Meeting adjourned.

……

Everyone left one after another.

In the corridor, Li Jiageng followed closely behind Chu Shijun, asking for instructions on the strength of the three subsequent lines. The two walked and talked as they went.

Upon reaching the elevator, Ye Wentao stepped forward and pressed the button.

After the three entered, Chu Shijun said, "Follow the meeting's arrangements: all three lines must be strictly enforced, thoroughly investigated, and documented throughout."

"The rectification of work style still boils down to this: we are not allowed to rectify based on materials or reports, but only on real changes at the grassroots level. In the youth aid to western regions, we must completely cut off any loopholes for personal connections. Anyone who makes a request, passes notes, or seeks special treatment will be registered and held accountable afterward. We must never allow grassroots experience to become a gilding game for the children of cadres."

"As for foreign affairs governance, the conclusion of this special rectification campaign is not the end. Long-term management and control must be carried out regularly. Only by plugging blind spots and filling loopholes can we safeguard the security of Xinjiang's opening up to the outside world."

"Okay, Secretary Chu, I understand now."

Li Jiageng nodded in agreement. Looking at the floor numbers flashing by the door, he could only tell those who were handing over notes or making phone calls that they should pray for good luck.

Having worked in Xinjiang for so many years, I can honestly say that, aside from the specific division of labor...

The past six months have been the most stable six months for him.

There weren't many twists and turns, because Chu Shijun didn't like it.

There weren't many prestigious jobs, because Chu Shijun didn't like them.

He could clearly sense that everyone in the organization was working with great enthusiasm.

That's the psychological feeling that comes from doing real things and doing practical things.

There are far fewer redundant meetings and far less buck-passing, which has brought about tangible progress and heartfelt praise from the people.

This feeling was something Li Jiageng had rarely experienced before.

Later, in his retirement, he wrote in his essays:

That year, he came.

At that time, everything was just beginning to flourish, and prosperous places were most prone to complacency, the development of privileges, and the relaxation of bottom lines.

When Comrade Shi Jun was in charge of Baijiang, he never sought momentary fame or superficial glory. Instead, he focused on correcting malpractices in the smallest details, upholding rules in their infancy, and establishing fundamental principles for the people's livelihood.

A routine meeting addressed issues such as rectifying the work style of cadres, eliminating long-standing problems in youth career choices, and consolidating the bottom line of foreign affairs governance. The meeting proceeded slowly and deliberately, yet every issue was addressed thoroughly and effectively.

Comrade Shi Jun deeply understands that the most difficult aspect of governing a developed region is not accelerating development, but rather remaining humble despite its prosperity, not being impetuous while enjoying its abundance, and using power solely for the benefit of the people.

True governance is never about dramatic changes, but about upholding fairness, protecting public support, and strengthening the foundation day after day.

The government's voice is silent, but time bears witness; a rule established in a time ensures peace and tranquility for a lifetime.
