In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Liu Changsheng found it somewhat unbelievable.

"How about we apply for another national-level free trade zone project?"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled.

"You little brat!"

Liu Changsheng laughed and scolded, having also come to his senses.

Opening up is a national strategy, and foreign investment is a core hard indicator for measuring a region's business environment and level of openness.

Handong has been ranked first in the country in this regard for 12 consecutive years, but Lingnan Province is very competitive and could be overtaken if it is not careful. However, the two major points put forward by Lin Zhiyuan can perfectly and quickly solidify Handong's historical achievements and can be replicated and promoted.

From the perspective of superiors:

A single outstanding achievement is not dazzling, but if it can be applied nationwide, that is a truly great political achievement.

If he succeeds in this endeavor, he can at least postpone his retirement, seize this valuable opportunity, and his future benefits will be no worse than Zhao Lichun's current position.

As Liu Changsheng was actively discussing the establishment of the free trade zone with Lin Zhiyuan, there was a knock on the office door.

Secretary Fang peeked inside.

"Governor Liu, Executive Director Lin, and Secretary Sha are back. We will convene a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee in twenty minutes."

"understood."

Liu Changsheng waved his hand, signaling Xiao Fang to leave, but his brows were already deeply furrowed. "This class monitor from Bohai Province is too ignorant of political rules. He just opens a meeting whenever he wants."

"The procedures for communication within the three-person team were all skipped."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled nonchalantly; he could guess the urgency and eagerness in the gerbil's heart.

"Hey, let's go together."

Liu Changsheng was also helpless; he had never seen such an operation in his ten years in Handong.

In the conference room.

Except for Yang Wanli and Wu Chunlin, who were away on business, everyone else was present. However, Wu Chunlin sent Executive Vice Minister Zuo Tao to listen to the meeting's contents.

"I apologize for informing everyone of this temporary Standing Committee meeting; the matter is somewhat urgent."

Sha Ruijin gave a brief opening statement: "The main topic of this meeting is still the follow-up processing of the list of 126 appointments."

"Over the past ten days, Comrade Guofu and I have traveled eastward from Jingzhou, inspecting the four cities of Zhenzhou, Yantai, Wuzhou, and Lüzhou, focusing on the cadres on the appointment list. What we saw and heard along the way was truly shocking, comrades!"

"Some cadres, who are of high rank, want to be promoted this time."

"He's in charge of personnel and organization, but he barely knows any ordinary cadres in the city. When comrades from the county shake his hand, he looks up at them and asks which unit they're from. He knows every female cadre with a bit of looks, even those from remote townships, and he can call them by their nicknames. What kind of behavior is this, comrades!"

Sha Ruijin was emotional and spoke with righteous indignation: "I can say this: the average quality of some cadres in Handong is far below that of the general public."

"Can such cadres continue to be entrusted with important responsibilities?"

"Furthermore, I inquired with Comrade Guofu, and his predecessor was imprisoned for engaging in rampant power-for-sex transactions. The repercussions of that case haven't been fully resolved to this day, and now another black sheep has appeared!"

"Would our provincial party committee dare to use someone like that? Would they be capable of using him?"

"With two consecutive municipal organization ministers experiencing such incidents, how can the local people trust us? Were those comrades who were investigated genuinely reformed, or did they simply not take it to heart? And what will happen to the families affected, especially those with elderly people and children?"

"Secretary Sha!"

Lin Zhiyuan raised his hand to interrupt the righteous indignation of the crowd, "The comrade you're talking about should be Comrade Cheng Jingtao, who just took office as the Organization Minister of Yantai City last year, right?"

"According to my conversation with Minister Wu Chunlin, Comrade Jing Tao was urgently transferred from Linzhou after the incident because he had a firm bottom line, strong principles, and was familiar with the operation of the organization department."

"It was a lateral transfer at the time."

"I was nominated because of my contributions in resolving the adverse effects of the Iwata incident, if I remember correctly?"

Sha Ruijin was stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyuan knew so much about the Organization Minister of Yantai City. A familiar sense of unease arose in his heart, but he still nodded with a forced smile.

"Secretary Sha, Secretary Tian, ​​I'd like to ask if the Discipline Inspection Commission has found any illegal or disciplinary violations by Comrade Jing Tao? Was it accompanying someone for drinks or sleeping with them? Or is it simply that he doesn't know any comrades in the county or only knows the nicknames of female cadres in townships?"

"Regarding Comrade Jingtao's knowledge of the nicknames of female township cadres, have either of you inquired with Comrade Jingtao about his opinion?"

Lin Zhiyuan launched a barrage of problematic attacks.

But the mess left Sha Ruijin somewhat disoriented. He was only responsible for identifying the problems, while the investigation was naturally left to his subordinates.

Thinking of this.

Sha Ruijin immediately turned his gaze towards Tian Guofu.

"Um, well, the Yantai City Discipline Inspection Commission hasn't sent over the investigation results yet."

Tian Guofu dared not look into the eyes of the two people.

"Since Minister Wu is not here, I will briefly talk about an important institutional innovation that Comrade Jing Tao made in Yantai City to resolve adverse incidents: the cadre inspection system."

"We regularly conduct online and offline visits to grassroots cadres, especially those in remote townships and attractive female cadres. Yantai is different from other cities; it is mountainous, so some areas have been poor for a long time, such as Jinshan County, where Secretary Dakang worked. However, the population base is large; Jinshan County alone has 1.2 million people, which is one-fifth of the population of Jingzhou."

"With a large population and a complex environment, a large number of dispatched cadres are needed. The original intention of establishing the inspection system was to take care of the lives and psychological problems of dispatched cadres, especially female comrades. Each visit, whether online or offline, is conducted with at least two or three people together to prevent the recurrence of power-for-sex transactions."

"Comrade Zuo Tao, is that right?"

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the executive vice minister sitting in Wu Chunlin's seat and asked.

"Yes, Executive Director Lin."

Zuo Tao was a little nervous as he accidentally entered the high-level bureau for the first time. He kept wiping the sweat from his palms, but facing the attention of the standing committee members, he braced himself and stood up to report to the leader, "In addition to what Executive Director Lin said, each visit requires a strict written report, and the offline visits are conducted according to the standards of the public security system. The police communication system is activated throughout the process, and all contact and conversations are uploaded to the headquarters of the provincial organization department. From departure to departure, the whole process is recorded."

"Under Comrade Cheng Jingtao's pilot system, the unhealthy trend of power-for-sex transactions in Yantai City was quickly eradicated, preventing similar incidents from spreading and recurring."

"However, considering factors such as equipment procurement and humanistic care, this system is only being piloted in Yantai City and has not yet been widely implemented."

"As for Comrade Cheng Jingtao not knowing any comrades from the county, I'm not sure about that, but there are cadres specifically assigned to liaise between the county and the city, and they generally wouldn't go to the city to look for Comrade Cheng Jingtao."

"Unless it is..."
