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

Meanwhile, in Jingzhou City, at Chen Yanshi's home.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yanshi thought for a moment, then stood up, put on his clothes, and left the room.

Outside in the courtyard, Wang Fuzhen, who was watering the flowers, saw him wearing a coat and holding car keys. She quickly asked, "Old Chen, I just heard you talking to someone on the phone. Is something urgent? Don't ride your bike. Have Haizi call one for you from the procuratorate."

"It's Xiao Jinzi's phone call."

Chen Yanshi, while getting dressed, briefly recounted what Sha Ruijin had just told him.

"What? We need to hold a meeting to discuss the punishment decision for Hai Zi?"

Wang Fuzhen put down the watering can, her face showing anxiety.

"When Lao Ji called, didn't he say he was suspended from his post to reflect on his actions and write a self-criticism? Hai Zi said the same thing."

"Who knows? The new governor brought this up in a meeting," Chen Yanshi said, zipping up his jacket and pulling out his small electric scooter.

"So who are you looking for? Little Gold?"

"I'll go ask Gao Yuliang. He's the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Chen Hai's superior. I'll see what's going on," Chen Yanshi said, and then got on his bike.

"Then ask Hai Zi to call you a car, or if that doesn't work, put on your helmet." Wang Fuzhen was getting anxious looking at Chen Yanshi's hurried manner.

"No need, it's not far."

After saying that, Chen Yanshi rode off on his electric scooter.

"What kind of mess is this?!"

Wang Fuzhen was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the yard, even stopping to water the flowers.

……

On the other side, the Provincial Party Committee.

After the Standing Committee meeting concluded, Chu Shijun returned to his office in the provincial government.

The office had already been tidied up, with the arrangements made by Secretary Zheng Yu according to Chu Shijun's habits.

Chu Shijun had barely sat down when Zheng Yu walked in. "Governor, Vice Governor Yang is here to report on his work. There's a queue outside."

"A lot of people?"

Zheng Yu nodded. "Vice Governor Yang, Vice Governor Liu, and several other vice governors are here, along with the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City, the Mayor of Lüzhou City, the Mayor of Jingzhou City, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, and the directors of the Public Security Department, the Finance Department, and other departments..."

Zheng Yu knew these leaders like the back of his hand; their names, appearances, and phone numbers were the first things he, as their secretary, had to memorize.

Chu Shijun nodded. It was only right that a group of vice governors and departments directly under the provincial government, including the mayors of the various cities, should come when he took office as the governor.

However, it would be inappropriate if word got out that the Party Secretary of Luzhou City also came.

"Xiao Zheng, let Vice Governor Yang come in first. As for the other comrades, have them come in in an orderly manner according to their assigned roles. As for Secretary Lin from Luzhou, tell him to go to Secretary Yuliang's side; it's not appropriate for him to come here."

"Yes, Governor."

Zheng Yu nodded and went out to call for help.

Two rows of people were waiting outside Chu Shijun's office.

It made the passing staff feel uneasy, so they greeted each of them.

Upon seeing Zheng Yu emerge, Yang Xiaofeng and Lin Wenjie, who were first in line, immediately crowded around him, pushing the provincial government secretary-general to the back.

"Director Zheng, what are the arrangements with Governor Chu?" Yang Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

"Vice Governor Yang, the Governor invites you to go in first."

There were other people present, so the way they were addressed had to be strict. Therefore, Zheng Yu addressed them by their respective titles.

"Okay, then I'll go in first."

Yang Xiaofeng nodded, straightened his clothes, and went inside.

After he went inside, Zheng Yu said to Lin Wenjie, "Secretary Lin, Governor Chu said that Secretary Gao seems to have something to discuss with you and wants you to go over there first."

"Hehe, okay."

Lin Wenjie immediately understood. As the municipal party secretary, if he wanted to report on his work, he should, in principle, report to the higher-level party committee, namely Sha Ruijin.

However, he came here to take sides and show his loyalty.

He knows perfectly well who's more capable among the two parachuted-in agents.

Besides, he was originally on Gao Yuliang's side, so naturally he had to make the distinction clear.

"Alright, then I'll head over there first, Director Zheng." After saying that, Lin Wenjie turned around, nodded to the others, patted the mayor of Luzhou City on the shoulder, and then went to find Gao Yuliang.

"Distinguished leaders, please have a seat in the conference room and a cup of tea..."

Zheng Yu then addressed the others.

"Alright, Director Zheng, please serve tea to Vice Governor Yang. I'll have the secretariat staff take care of the comrades here."

"It was Zheng Wei, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, who spoke first."

"Then I'll have to trouble Secretary-General Zheng."

After Zheng Yu finished speaking, he gave the others an apologetic smile and went inside to pour tea.

……

When he brought the tea in, Chu Shijun and Yang Xiaofeng had already lit cigarettes in the office.

"Vice Governor Yang, please have some tea."

"Hehe, thank you, Director Zheng."

Yang Xiaofeng smiled and nodded. Looking at Zheng Yu's youthful appearance, he knew that as long as this person remained calm, his future achievements would be considerable.

After Zheng Yu left, he looked at Chu Shijun and said, "Governor, Governor Liu told us before that you were very good at governance when you were in the local area. After you went to the capital, you played a crucial role in the formulation and implementation of some macro policies. Now that you have come to Handong, we government staff are more confident. We believe that under your leadership, Handong Province will definitely reach new heights."

Chu Shijun understood the meaning behind his words: this was Governor Liu's man, and he definitely had to be one of his men.

He had already stated his position at the previous Standing Committee meeting.

Now that the old leader has taken over, even though he's an outsider, he's considered one of our own, which greatly reduces the possibility of instability among the staff.

As for those who weren't of one mind to begin with, that's a different story.

"Hehe, Comrade Xiaofeng, don't say things that are not conducive to unity," Chu Shijun said with a smile. "We all work under the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee. I am just leading the work of your government departments. Secretary Sha still has to take on some responsibilities first."

"Yes, yes, Governor Chu, you're right. My political awareness still needs improvement, and I need to learn more from you," Yang Xiaofeng quickly replied, overjoyed.

Previously, Governor Liu had reached the age limit and said he wanted to retire, and it's not that I, as the executive vice governor, didn't have the idea.

Because if he goes further, he will most likely become the provincial governor.

As for the pairing of Gao and Li, Gao still has a slight chance.

In other provinces, it is extremely rare for the Party Secretary of the provincial capital to be directly promoted to Governor. Generally, they first become Executive Directors and then Governors.

Therefore, in his view, the possibility of Li Dakang's words was almost zero.

However, when news of his arrival came later, he did feel somewhat disappointed.

But after Governor Liu spoke with him, he immediately forgot about his dejection.

Because Governor Liu went to Beijing, and even though he was promoted from the position of governor, he went straight to the side of former Party Secretary Zhao Lichun.

If he still doesn't understand what this means, then he's wasted these past few decades.

So when Governor Liu explained it to him, he immediately understood the pros and cons and started taking sides at the Standing Committee meeting.

Now that Governor Chu has just said that, he is naturally happy.

If the other person goes up, can't he also go further?

As for the other party's teacher, Gao Yuliang, he didn't think he was a match for him because even if the other party were to be promoted, he would be transferred to another place.

"Governor Chu, from now on, my colleagues and I will definitely unite closely around you, and under your leadership, do a good job in government work and adhere to the principle of serving the people," Yang Xiaofeng said earnestly.

"Hehe, Governor Liu mentioned you before, saying you did a great job and made him feel much more relaxed. I believe in you, and I accept your pledge. I'll be watching how you do in the future." Chu Shijun nodded with a smile.

"Governor Chu, I'd like to report to you on my work now..."

After expressing his loyalty, Chu Shijun accepted it, and Yang Xiaofeng then began to report on his work.
