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

"Buying and soliciting official positions!"

Zuo Tao's voice, like a final judgment, utterly crushed Sha Ruijin's arguments.

The gerbil poison is a bit of a mystery!

This script is wrong!

Shouldn't I take advantage of the absence of those two blind and foolish idiots, Wu Chunlin and Yang Wanli, and seize the opportunity to wreak havoc on the local faction in Handong?

How can there be a cadre inspection mechanism?

How can such an inhumane and privacy-infringing mechanism be allowed in Handong!

The other members of the Standing Committee jumped out of the trap of logical thinking. That's right, the organization department only manages personnel. A cadre from the county who has never been met should go to the municipal government. Why go to the head of the municipal organization department?

Even if the county is short of people.

That's a matter for the county party secretary, the county head, and the county organization minister; how could Cheng Jingtao not know these three people?

My brain circuits are working again!

The Standing Committee members all looked at Sha Ruijin with strange expressions.

So, could it be that our dear Squad Leader Sha just happened to see the general situation from the sidelines and then, as if he had found a fatal weakness, launched an attack all at once?

Sha Ruijin blushed and turned around seriously, saying, "After all, it involves the nicknames of female cadres in remote townships, which is too private. Secretary Guofu, you still need to cooperate with the Yantai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate thoroughly."

"If there is no problem, then give Comrade Cheng Jingtao a fair judgment; if there is a problem, then deal with it as soon as possible."

"Okay... okay, Secretary Sha."

Tian Guofu felt like dying.

Unexpectedly, the trivial matter that had been painstakingly uncovered was transformed in just a few words from Lin Zhiyuan.

"Secretary Guofu, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee is, after all, the highest decision-making body in Handong. If you want to bring this up here, it's best to solidify the chain of evidence before the meeting, otherwise it will waste everyone's precious time."

What do you think?

Lin Zhiyuan was about to get up and leave. He had overestimated Sha Ruijin; he had no interest in him whatsoever.

"yes!"

Tian Guofu nodded repeatedly.

He understood that what seemed like a slap in the face was actually a reprimand of Sha Ruijin, the top leader. But given the current situation, there was nothing he could do. Lin Zhiyuan slapped his right cheek, and he had to obediently offer his left cheek for Lin Zhiyuan to slap as well.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan was about to leave, Sha Ruijin became a little anxious and quickly called out to stop him, "Aside from this matter, I would also like to vote on two personnel appointments at today's Standing Committee meeting."

"Oh?"

Lin Zhiyuan sat down again.

Judging by the days, it should be time for that mischievous monkey from the Zhong family to be released from its cage and return to the mountains.

There's another one...

Luzhou! Could it be that it's easy to learn?

Lin Zhiyuan gave Fang Denggao and Li Dakang a wink. He was now a key figure, and they couldn't let him personally lead every charge into battle.

The two immediately understood each other.

Fang Denggao even raised an eyebrow, indicating that no personnel vote that was unfavorable to the provincial government faction would pass today.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't work!

He was the Standing Committee member and Vice Governor of Handong Province.

"The first one is Comrade Yi Xuexi, the current deputy director of Luzhou Development Zone and the head of the High-tech Zone. This trip to Luzhou lived up to expectations, and we discovered a group of good comrades with both integrity and ability, including Yi Xuexi."

"During my inspection tour of Luzhou, I made a special trip to Yi Xuexi's home. It's an old house of 80 square meters, and the walls are covered with work maps he drew. He has lived there for 20 years."

His wife, Mao Ya, doesn't have a government job and supplements the family income by growing and selling tea.

Yi Xuexi worked at the grassroots level for twenty-five years, never seeking personal gain, never currying favor, never currying favor with others, never taking a single penny for himself.

These words were spoken.

The person who reacted the most was not one of the Standing Committee members, but Zuo Tao, who had come to observe the proceedings in place of Wu Chunlin; his face twitched uncontrollably.

The provincial organization department received the decision from Lüzhou City to demote Yi Xuexi, and now it's about to be overturned?

Do I have to explain it myself?

He's just a pitiful and helpless executive vice minister at the department level. It's already a miracle he survived after slapping the provincial party secretary once. Does he expect it to happen again?

What a disastrous Standing Committee meeting!

Never come here again, even if it means dying.

Tian Guofu, an ally and subordinate of the rat poison, has already quietly turned his back on them. Even the seemingly sure thing about the Cheng Jingtao case failed, let alone the Yi Xuexi case!

Who is Yi Xuexi?

Lin Zhiyuan criticized him in front of two Standing Committee members as a blockhead who should be guarding the reservoir. If he went up there, wouldn't that be a slap in Lin Zhiyuan's face?

On the way back.

He did try to dissuade people from using gerbilicides.

But the rat poison seems to have swallowed a heavy weight, its resolve is as firm as a rock. Alas, all I can say is that beauty... cough cough, the white moonlight misleads people!

"I am also aware of some of Comrade Yi Xuexi's shortcomings."

"But our achievements from the reform and opening up to where we are today are stained with the blood of the older generation and the tears of reformers. Those who reap the fruits of victory cannot let honest people suffer losses, nor can they make them shed blood and tears!"

"For a full twenty-five years, a dutiful comrade has remained stuck in the position of a division chief. It's such a waste of talent."

Sha Ruijin stared intently at Lin Zhiyuan, and seeing that he showed no intention of speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief before turning to Li Dakang. "Comrade Dakang, Yi Xuexi and you were in the same team back in Jinshan. Didn't you ever think about promoting this old team leader?"

"And of course, this old squad leader has even taken the blame for you before, hasn't he?"

Sha Ruijin originally wanted to use a two-pronged approach, but now that he couldn't break through the 126-man roster, he could only launch a full-scale attack on Li Dakang, who was full of weaknesses.

Prepare to die, you pure and innocent Secretary Li!

Hehehe!

Li Dakang's face was gloomy and he didn't look good.

To be honest, he would be ruthless to others, but he always felt a little guilty towards Yi Xuexi.

"Secretary Sha, since you've brought up Yi Xuexi's promotion, may I say a few words first?"

Fang Deng raised his hand to signal, and also gave Li Dakang a reassuring look.

"oh!"

Sha Ruijin almost ground his teeth to powder. So it's only you provincial government factions who like to speak up so enthusiastically, huh?

But what could he do?

Sha Ruijin forced a smile. "Standing Committee Member Fang, please speak."

"Back when Secretary Gao was the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City, he transferred Yi Xuexi to be the Director of the Lüzhou Transportation Bureau, allowing him to shine in his new position."

Gao Yuliang, who was on the other side, nodded at the opportune moment.

"Later, Secretary Gao was transferred to be the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and I also became the Mayor of Lüzhou. Strictly speaking, Yi Xuexi can be considered my old subordinate."

Fang Denggao continued, then dropped a bombshell that attracted everyone's attention: "But I did not promote this comrade afterward."

"Because I checked this comrade's resume and looked at this comrade's actual work achievements."

Fang Denggao smiled at the gerbil poison.

Dear class monitor, why did you have to promote Yi Xuexi of all people? Didn't you just walk right into my line of fire?

"Let's start with his resume. This comrade's resume is incredibly impressive! He graduated from Renmin University, worked in a ministry, and became a division chief at the age of thirty."

"Such an amazing resume, to be honest, I've only seen two so far, the other one is from Executive Director Lin."

Fang Denggao subtly flattered the second boss, saying, "Ke Lin's position and benefits are the result of hard work. The Nanshan Bamboo Sea Project, the Nanhu Logistics Project... he has been down-to-earth, and his policies and guidelines are still profoundly influencing the economic development of today."

"So, I'm really curious about how this hidden dragon under my command is doing."
