In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

"Teacher Gao, are you sure? I want to detain Cai Chenggong? He's my childhood friend, but I don't want to protect him!"

Hou Liangping was on the phone talking to Gao Yuliang when he said that he didn't want to detain Cai Chenggong because Li Dakang wanted him, and Zhao Donglai had even come to ask for him!

"Are you trying to protect him? Are you afraid of offending Li Dakang and getting him to not vote for you in the provincial standing committee election?"

Gao Yuliang said irritably. Hou Liangping was also a little upset that his thoughts had been exposed! But he still said it.

"Whether I become the vice governor or not doesn't matter, but what about my senior? He absolutely has to get that department-level position. I can't just ignore my hardworking senior for the sake of Li Kangjian, my junior!"

Hou Liangping's move was a strategic retreat. Gao Yuliang paused for a moment, realizing that Qi Tongwei's deputy director-level rank was indeed too low, but he still spoke up!

"Cai Chenggong absolutely cannot be given to Li Dakang. Li Dakang's relationship with Ding Yizhen is ambiguous! What if!"

Hou Liangping was speechless. He really wanted to say that Cai Chenggong and Li Dakang would be fine because he was the one who arranged for Ding Yizhen to flee! He couldn't get anything out of Cai Chenggong!

However, he only thought about it. If he actually said it, would he still be able to keep his position as the Director of the Public Security Bureau?

Just as Hou Liangping hung up the phone, Zhao Donglai walked in. Hou Liangping was in a bad mood, as Zhao Donglai had come to take Hou Liangping's man away. However, Hou Liangping reacted quickly!

"Donglai, please have a seat. I have a conference call. If it's anything, go find Deputy Director Qi!"

After saying that, Hou Liangping ran out in a flash, leaving Zhao Donglai completely dumbfounded!

"what?"

However, after thinking about it, Zhao Donglai felt it didn't matter. Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping were in cahoots; weren't they good brothers? Finding Qi Tongwei would be the same!

Zhao Donglai went directly to Qi Tongwei, who pretended not to know anything, playing dumb while knowing the truth!

Zhao Donglai had no choice but to call Li Dakang. Li Dakang was furious. "Qi Tongwei, is that it? Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too!"

Just then, Gao Yuliang walked over, and Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang had a brief argument!

"Don't get excited!"

Am I excited?

"Who's getting agitated? Let's start the meeting!"

Sha Ruijin said with a smile. Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang, like primary school students caught by the teacher, glared at each other and sat down!

"Secretary Sha, Executive Director Zhao hasn't arrived yet!"

Secretary Bai glanced at it briefly. The person in the seat below Gao Yuliang hadn't arrived yet. He looked at the name: Zhao Zhongxin!

Sha Ruijin was very displeased. Even he, the top leader, had come. What did Zhao Zhongxin want? He had been the top leader for so many years, a county party secretary, a city party secretary, and no standing committee member had ever dared to act like this! But thinking of Zhao Zhongxin's family, he sighed helplessly. If Sha Ruijin knew he was a character in a TV series, he would definitely change the series' title to "In the Name of Zhongxin"!

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and Zhao Zhongxin, seeing everyone's eyes turn to him, smiled and said!

"Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, I think I'm late!"

As he spoke, Zhao Zhongxin glanced at his watch!

"However, I don't think I'm late; it's exactly 10 o'clock!"

The provincial party committee members shook their heads. It seemed he really was a spoiled brat, but he had the right to be! This was disrespecting the top leader!

"It's alright, come and sit down, we're in a meeting!"

Sha Ruijin had no choice but to find a way out. He knew Zhao Zhongxin. Back when he was the deputy secretary of a municipal party committee, the municipal party secretary and mayor had to listen to him. If they didn't listen to him, he would scold them and give them no face at all. He didn't care if you were one level higher or lower.

Li Dakang is already domineering enough, acting like the number one when he's the second-in-command. Zhao Zhongxin, on the other hand, is acting like the number one when he's the third-in-command. Sometimes, when words fail, he resorts to physical violence! Moreover, he knows that Zhao Zhongxin's hobby is Ming Dynasty history. He's really good at it, and he's quite adept at the free-fighting in the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace!

What could Sha Ruijin do? The other guy has a good father and a good father-in-law! He wasn't even late, just arriving at the last minute, what could he say? Honestly, if he were Zhao Zhongxin, he might be even more arrogant than Zhao Zhongxin!

Of course, only a few people knew this news, only Sha Ruijin, the parachuted-in cadre, knew it!

Zhao Zhongxin sat down behind Gao Yuliang, and his opponent was Tian Guofu. Zhao Zhongxin nodded slightly to Governor Liu, and then glanced at Li Dakang next to him and nodded as well!

"Teacher Gao!"

Zhao Zhongxin greeted them and sat down. He was the youngest and had the most unique status here. Moreover, his address of "Professor Gao" made the other standing committee members realize that if these two joined forces, they might not be afraid of Sha Ruijin. Of course, this was the normal way things were going. If Zhao Zhongxin, this young master, wanted to, he could take on Sha Ruijin all by himself!

Why do we say Zhao Zhongxin has stopped playing the boxer's game? It's all about smartphones. When he was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, it was ten years ago. Back then, phones were Nokia and Motorola models without cameras. That's no longer the case. If someone takes a picture of him, it'll be a political stain.

Why weren't we afraid of rumors before? The reason is simple: if you say I hit you, who will testify for you? Do you dare say I hit you? You corrupt official—yes, Zhao Zhongxin didn't punch anyone for no reason; it was all investigated and he was found to be corrupt. Since you're the top leader, and the disciplinary committee and procuratorate at the same level don't dare to supervise you, then I will! Although my rank isn't as high as yours, I can still summon people to arrest you!

But that's all in the past. Things are different now. Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongxin felt a pang of nostalgia for the days before smartphones! Otherwise, he could have had a free-for-all at the Handong Provincial Party Committee, and take down that bastard Tian Guofu! And then there was Li Dakang! One of them prioritized political achievements above all else, and the other loved to kick someone when they're down. If he had met them ten years earlier, Zhao Zhongxin's iron fist would have shown them what the game of power was all about!

Yes, that's how Game of Thrones is explained!

In fact, Zhao Zhongxin can no longer box. After all, he has reached level three or four, so he certainly can't box like he does at level five, six, or seven.

Then Chen Yanshi came up, and only Gao Yuliang stood up to shake hands with him. This wasn't Gao Yuliang putting on a show; he genuinely respected Chen Yanshi, who was his first leader! Gao Yuliang respected cadres like this who wouldn't leave even if they weren't recruited. You could say that in Gao Yuliang's eyes, Chen Yanshi was someone he looked up to!

Moreover, the reason why Chen Yanshi was able to act so powerfully in Handong before Sha Ruijin arrived was because Gao Yuliang gave him the confidence. With Gao Yuliang, a provincial third-level official, as his backer, even if those cadres disliked Chen Yanshi, they could only tolerate it! So, even on his deathbed, Chen Yanshi wanted to help Gao Yuliang, not to repay a debt of gratitude or anything, but simply because Gao Yuliang was a good cadre, at most a little greedy for power!
