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

The next day.

Liu Zhenwen sat in his office, twirling a pen in his hand, his eyes darting around at the document on the computer screen.

This morning, Li Dakang went to a meeting in the provincial capital.

He didn't know if the other party would tell Sima Shenhe about this.

'Bang bang'

The office door was open, and Wang Hongqing knocked and came in.

"This is a document that was just issued by the municipal government. Please take a look."

"Just leave it there."

Liu Zhenwen nodded.

Ok?

Wang Hongqing keenly noticed that his director seemed a little absent-minded. His eyes darted around and he noticed that the teacup was half full. He quickly picked up the teacup and went to the water dispenser to get hot water.

"Director, please have some tea."

"Just leave it there."

Liu Zhenwen nodded again.

"Chief, are you smoking?"

"Put it there... huh?"

Liu Zhenwen finally turned his head, looked at the cigarette offered to him, paused for a moment, then realized what was going on, took the cigarette, lit it, and said irritably, "Just say what you have to say."

"Director, are you going to Tianhe?"

Wang Hongqing asked, and lit one for himself. He was now the office director and had become quite familiar with Liu Zhenwen; they had a good relationship.

"Why would I go to Tianhe? What would a Zhencheng Public Security Bureau chief like me do there?"

Liu Zhenwen glanced at him.

"Hey, Chief, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Wang Hongqing pulled up a chair and sat down, glancing at the doorway before whispering, "I heard that Secretary Sima of the Provincial Department is planning to step down."

"Go and close the door."

"Okay."

Wang Hongqing immediately got up, closed the door, and sat back down.

"What does Secretary Sima's resignation as department head have to do with my going to Tianhe?"

Liu Zhenwen took a deep drag on his cigarette, leaned back, and looked melancholy.

"I think you have a great chance, Director. Think about it, your achievements this year are evident to everyone in the province."

Liu Zhenwen shook his head: "There are so many people watching in the hall, Director Liu, Director Zhao, Director Li, and if you go any further in, there are some in Tianhe as well."

"Didn't you contact Secretary Li of the Municipal Party Committee?"

Wang Hongqing made a pointed remark, "He's a big shot, and since he's an outsider, he'll definitely be willing to help you."

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the smile on Liu Zhenwen's face, and a thought flashed through his mind. "You went to see Secretary Li?"

"You little rascal, you're incredibly cunning."

Liu Zhenwen didn't intend to hide anything from his confidants, nodding and saying, "I went to see Secretary Li last night, but I don't know how it went."

"If Secretary Li is willing to work hard, I think there's a great chance."

Wang Hongqing said in a serious tone,

"Secretary Sima has a lot of influence. Whoever he recommends is almost guaranteed to succeed."

Indeed, as the Director of the Public Security Bureau, the Organization Department would ask Sima Shenhe for his opinion on who would succeed him, not to mention that he was also the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, which gave him leadership authority. In addition, he voluntarily stepped down, so everyone would give him face.

"I……"

"Ring ring ring"

Liu Zhenwen had just started speaking when his phone rang. He picked it up and immediately perked up.

"Hello, Secretary Li, have you finished your meeting?"

"Zhenwen, I'm on my way back to Zhencheng. I just chatted with Comrade Shenhe for a bit after the meeting," Li Dakang said abruptly.

Liu Zhenwen grew anxious and quickly pressed, "Secretary Li, what did Secretary Sima say?"

"Hehe, look how impatient you are."

Li Dakang sighed, "Sigh."

At that moment, Liu Zhenwen's heart sank, and his grip on the phone tightened unconsciously.

"We didn't talk much about anything else. I heard from Comrade Shenhe that he's going to organize a meeting for your subordinate police officers at the Public Security Bureau in a couple of days. I mentioned it briefly, and he said you can come to him if you have any questions or difficulties at work."

With a swift movement, Liu Zhenwen stood up, his face beaming with joy: "Secretary Li, thank you so much, thank you so much..."

"Hey, why thank me? If it works out, just do your job well and don't embarrass Zhencheng. If it doesn't work out, don't blame me for not putting in the effort," Li Dakang said with a smile.

"Look at what you're saying! I'm extremely grateful that you're speaking up for me, Secretary Li. Don't worry, I will definitely do my best and will never let you down. Whether I succeed or not, I'll still be your soldier!"

Liu Zhenwen patted his chest and said.

"Hehe, that's not a good enough understanding. What do you mean 'my ice'? It belongs to Secretary Chu. Alright, that's enough. Get back to work." Li Dakang smiled with satisfaction.

As soon as the call ended, Wang Hongqing rushed forward. "Director, wherever you go, I, Wang, will always be your soldier!"

"Hahaha, you little rascal!"

Liu Zhenwen took a deep drag of his cigarette and immediately felt refreshed.

Although Li Dakang's words were vague, he told him to go see Sima Shenhe at the meeting.

It's important to know that, except in special circumstances, there are always signals for meetings held in the hall, and arrangements are made a week in advance.

Adding this at this crucial juncture, and then letting him meet it himself, is precisely to avoid giving anyone cause for gossip.

Of course, he knew in his heart that he wouldn't be the only one going to see Sima Shenhe. He could go to Li Dakang, and others who had similar ideas could go to him too.

Therefore, one must be strong oneself to succeed.

"Xiao Wang, get busy today. Come up with an operation plan for me, including new equipment, day and night street patrols, and so on. Make it look impressive. Let's showcase the strength of Zhencheng Public Security. Remember, the operation must highlight the role of the provincial Party committee, provincial government, provincial political and legal committee, public security department, and municipal Party committee and government leaders. Understand?"

Liu Zhenwen said earnestly.

"Understood, don't worry, Director, I'll definitely come up with a fantastic plan!"

Wang Hongqing patted his chest.

What's so difficult about that?

He wasn't promoted to the position of Director of the Public Security Bureau at the age of 29 through flattery!

Find the provincial documents, post those related to public security and stability maintenance, and put up announcements stating that Provincial Party Secretary Chu pointed out, Governor Zhao demanded, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Sima emphasized, Municipal Party Secretary Li and Mayor Liu stressed, and then the Municipal Public Security Bureau is unwavering... and so on. It's guaranteed to give anyone who sees it strength!

"Then it's up to you."

……

Wang Hongqing acted quickly, producing a proposal that very afternoon.

Liu Zhenwen immediately reported the plan, which Li Dakang approved after reviewing it. The Public Security Bureau also did not obstruct the process at all. The procedure was compliant and the action was positive. The initial plan was quickly approved and implemented that same day.

At night, special police and public security vehicles patrol the streets with flashing lights, passing barbecue stalls, markets, night markets, and intersections. During the day, traffic police are also busy around the clock.

Just a few days have passed.

Liu Zhenwen went to a meeting at the Public Security Bureau and returned in high spirits.

A few days later, the provincial party committee and higher authorities approved Sima Shenhe's resignation as vice governor, and reported it to Dai Biao for approval.

Meanwhile, Hu Xue also serves as deputy director.

For the next two weeks, there was a period of calm.

At the meeting, Li Dakang, Secretary of the Zhencheng Municipal Party Committee, repeatedly praised Liu Zhenwen, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, for his work.

Sima Shenhe was also specifically commended at the work conference of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Public Security Department.

Half a month later, Liu Zhenwen was transferred to the provincial department as executive deputy director, while the former executive deputy director was transferred to Zhencheng as deputy mayor and concurrently served as director of the public security bureau.
