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

The Standing Committee members left the meeting room in small groups.

Gerbilicide is infuriating.

But in the end, he didn't use the veto power. It wasn't worth it. First, the trouble Wu Chunlin caused this time was hard to predict how it would end. Second, using the veto power would mean that he, as the provincial party secretary, would lose control over the provincial party committee standing committee.

Forehead…

This is something that a superior could easily find out by simply reviewing the meeting minutes, but knowing it is one thing, saying it would mean losing all face and dignity.

come back to the office.

Besides the Standing Committee members accompanying him, Qiu Tianhen, Qi Tongwei, and others had been waiting for a long time, all there to report on their work.

Only two people from the provincial government faction left early.

Governor Liu, being elderly and unable to stay up late, coupled with the stress and exhaustion he had experienced these past few days, announced as soon as the meeting ended that he would not accompany Lin Zhiyuan to listen to the report.

Then there's Fang Denggao, whose eyelids were drooping and he couldn't stay awake any longer during the meeting.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a lack of sound today.

"Minister Pan, please go first, ladies first."

Pan Lin didn't stand on ceremony despite the politeness of the group of men; she was the first to knock on the door and enter.

"I really can't handle the task that Director Lin assigned me."

Pan Lin protested.

If Principal Chang really intended to clean house, wouldn't it be pointless for her, as the head of the provincial propaganda department, to take his place?

"Don't worry."

Lin Zhiyuan comforted him, "I have some news for you. The senior is not only Principal Chang's last disciple, but also his only remaining disciple."

"As long as Principal Chang doesn't want the legacy to be broken, this is just a minor skirmish on the surface."

what?

Pan Lin was taken aback.

"In his early years, Principal Chang was interested in a political career and didn't mentor many students. As a result, his political career didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined, and he stumbled his way back to the education system."

"in addition."

"We like to call him 'Old Principal,' but he's only seven or eight years older than us. He's more like a brother than a teacher and student."

"So do you understand now?"

Lin Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and explained.

He admitted that Wu Chunlin was a fast runner, but if Principal Chang really went for the kill, how could he escape the Buddha's palm?

The people standing at Kyoto University's security office aren't security guards.

Oh, another mentor-student pair, Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei! No, even closer.

"I understand. I'll arrange for someone to publish the report as soon as I get back."

Pan Lin understood.

"There's one more thing..."

Pan Lin hesitated for a moment. "Secretary-General Tong has only been here a short time, but he has already transferred a group of people from the provincial TV station with Secretary Sha's order."

"The level of secrecy is extremely high."

"I didn't ask any questions."

Publicity? Television station! Discipline inspection!

Lin Zhiyuan quickly connected the three keywords, a flash of inspiration piercing through the darkness of his consciousness, and he cursed, "Damn it! That guy surnamed Tong isn't planning on that, is he?"

"What?"

Pan Lin was puzzled and asked.

"It's nothing!"

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head, and after the initial shock, he smiled sincerely. "Secretary-General Tong is new here. If he has any requests, Minister Pan must do his best to help our comrade."

"You're playing tricks, I understand."

Pan Lin was speechless and turned to leave.

Those eyes darted around, who knows who they're up to trick this time.

The second person to enter was Qiu Tianhen.

He has been temporarily handling the daily work of the provincial government these past few days. If it weren't for Pan Lin's urgent matter, he would have been the first person she would have met.

"After Secretary Li launched the plan."

"All those involved, including Yao Xinyi, are under investigation in the disciplinary committee's detention room. Ji Changming himself doesn't have any major problems and was willing to step down, but Secretary Gao rejected his application as usual."

"Lu Wucheng was taken down by Director Qi personally because of Gu Beilou's bid-rigging, and he is now in the provincial department."

"Lu Wucheng's older brother, Lu Wuwei, from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, has been temporarily detained by the Supervision Department, and preliminary evidence has been obtained."

"As for Chuzhou, Team Leader Xie from the Economic Investigation Division went there to conduct a preliminary investigation. However, Secretary Sha also sent Hou Liangping there, and Secretary Tian also arranged for Comrade Qin Zhuofeng, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, to go as well."

"Dong Qing has temporarily put the matter aside due to her family situation, and a thorough investigation has not yet been conducted."

Qiu Tianhen reported on the main events that had occurred during this period.

"Lu Wuwei has conclusive evidence, so we will follow the legal and regulatory procedures and expel him from the Party and his post."

Lin Zhiyuan tapped his fingers on the table, slowly issuing instructions:

"The position of director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission is very important. Keep an eye out for a capable and reliable person who can take the position."

"Deal with the Yao family and the Lin family together after the Chu Prefecture matter is over. Remember to report the outcome of Yao Xinyi's case as soon as possible."

"Remember to keep a close eye on Dong Qing and Linzhong Technology, as well as the flow of funds of other P2P companies in Handong Province, and monitor the entry and exit of relevant senior executives."

"Money cannot flow out, and people cannot run away."

The development of P2P lending in Handong Province is not excessive compared to other provinces; it is the type that can be fully controlled within the province, and the risk is not significant.

But speaking of which...

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and stared intently at Qiu Tianhen opposite him. "Tianhen, are you afraid of danger?"

Qiu Tianhen was confused.

"So, do you want to improve?"

Lin Zhiyuan then asked a second question.

miss you!

This time, Qiu Tianhen nodded firmly without any hesitation.

However, within Handong Province…

There are very few suitable career paths for him in the long term. If he moves towards the provincial government, there is Fang Denggao above him; if he moves towards the political and legal system, the best option would be the vice governor and director of the public security department, but it is not appropriate to consider Qi Tongwei as one of his own now. Another possibility is Lao Ji, but to be honest, the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate is just so-so, and his current situation is only about the same.

"You've probably learned about P2P platforms by now. They're a new-century Ponzi scheme that uses fake high returns to swindle investors' principal."

"But by exploiting regulatory loopholes, it has developed rapidly."

"The financial involved is likely in the trillions, and countless shady characters are involved. Imagine the danger if it were to collapse!"

Lin Zhiyuan patiently guided him.

"You mean, you want me to take over the investigation of P2P companies?"

Qiu Tianhen reacted quickly.

"right!"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled. "There's not much pressure in Handong Province, so it's a good opportunity to practice with you."

"At the same time, you can first prepare a comprehensive report on P2P platforms, stating their harms, and submit it with a substantial chain of evidence."

"Promote nationwide cleanup and treatment from the bottom up."

"As the initiator and a political and legal elite, you can use this opportunity to enter the special working group for further study."

If I'm not mistaken.

"It will probably be led by the China Banking Regulatory Commission. You can try to get the position of vice chairman. The rank will remain the same, but you will be promoted from the local level to a ministry."

"By doing this, we can take a big step toward financial regulation, simultaneously connect with the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Economic Crime Investigation Department of the Ministry of Public Security, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, accumulate a large network of contacts, and strive to become the first vice chairman."

"Going forward, one can continue to develop into a full-fledged position; going backward, one can transfer to the political and legal field, such as becoming the deputy secretary-general of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission or the Supreme People's Court or the Supreme People's Procuratorate."

What do you think of this promotion path?
