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

"Comrade Chu Sheng, don't be nervous."

"Just continue with your normal pace and report on the current situation of the municipal government."

The office where Mayor Zhang Xueyang once commanded respect is now occupied by Lin Zhiyuan's powerful and influential presence.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the tense and anxious young vice mayor opposite him and spoke to comfort him.

"Yes, Executive Director Lin."

Song Chusheng was only in his early thirties, but he looked haggard with dark circles under his eyes, and was in even worse condition than Wei Shengbang.

"Zhang Xueyang served as mayor of Chuzhou for ten years. His network of connections permeated the municipal party committee, the municipal government, districts and counties, and the business community. For example, the executive vice mayor, the head of the organization department, and the secretary of the discipline inspection commission were all people he cultivated or won over."

"The scope is broader at the district and county level."

"Because the power to appoint officials only extends to the municipal party committee level, he became even more unscrupulous. It can be said that every person in charge was a confidant planted by Zhang Xueyang."

"Such as An Lai, the deputy district head of Chuzhou, who was taken down by the Economic Crime Investigation Division."

"The business world relies on a strict hierarchical system."

"Anyone who wants to do business has to come to the mayor's office and the Chen family's ancestral home to pay their respects, especially for large projects, to control the bidding process. Only when the Chen family is full can others get what's left."

"Even state-owned enterprises under the city's jurisdiction have to be coerced by them."

"You could say that."

Song Chusheng took a deep breath. "Chuzhou has suffered under the Chen family and Zhang Xueyang for too long."

Is there anything wrong with this list?

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the list of Zhang Xueyang's factions that the other party had submitted.

"Those in power are all blindly obedient to him."

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Song Chusheng's face. "According to this list, there will only be omissions, not mistakes."

"Then solidify the chain of evidence."

"Report to Comrade Li Guohua of the Supervision Department, have him placed under investigation, set an example, and bring him to justice."

"The others will be investigated one by one, and each one found to be guilty will be dealt with."

Lin Zhiyuan said coldly.

"Wouldn't this involve too many issues?"

The murderous Song Chusheng who had just been brimming with killing intent immediately wilted upon hearing Lin Zhiyuan's words about eliminating all traces of the enemy.

"snort!"

Lin Zhiyuan's voice grew even colder, "What's the point of keeping these traitors around? To harm the people or the organization?"

"Remember this sentence."

"The organization will never lack a good comrade or good cadre who is full of concern for the people and wants to make continuous progress."

Lin Zhiyuan warned.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Executive Director Lin's words were insightful and thought-provoking."

Song Chusheng wiped the beads of sweat constantly forming on his forehead. "Then what about the daily work of the municipal government..."

This is the key point.

With a large number of people being removed from their posts, some important projects of the Chuzhou Municipal Government and its district and county governments may be forced to come to a standstill.

"Don't worry about that."

"The executive minister of the provincial organization department had already selected suitable outstanding cadres from various regions two months ago."

"Three days! Three days at the latest!"

"They will come to Chuzhou City to take up their posts and take over the work of governments at all levels."

Lin Zhiyuan reassured them.

"Where is Zhang Xueyang? Where is he now?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked again.

"Knowing that he could not escape his crimes, Chen Guohua had previously tried to turn himself in by chasing after Secretary Qin's convoy, but Secretary Qin ignored him and he later returned to the Chen family ancestral home."

"But Comrade Li Weimin from the Municipal Public Security Bureau took advantage of the time difference and arrested the entire Chen family."

When Chen Guohua returned to the old house, it was empty, with Zhang Xueyang by his side.

"The municipal bureau comrades were worried that Chen Guohua's health would deteriorate and he wouldn't be able to hold out until the day of his trial, so they did not forcibly take Zhang Xueyang away."

"We deployed surveillance outside the Chen family's ancestral home."

Song Chusheng quickly chimed in, explaining the ins and outs of the incident.

"Can."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, got up and walked out of the office, "But the person can't run away."

"Now come with me to see our comrades at the grassroots level. I have a few words to say to them."

Song Chusheng hurriedly followed.

There are quite a few staff members in the Chuzhou Municipal Government compound. Including the Municipal Government Office and more than 20 municipal departments, there are around 1200 people in total.

Instead of having so many people gathered together, Lin Zhiyuan simply set up a loudspeaker in the main building courtyard so that everyone could hear it.

This is done to avoid extreme situations and also to prevent certain hidden agents from exchanging intelligence.

"Comrades, I am Lin Zhiyuan from the provincial government."

Lin Zhiyuan's words were not loud but extremely penetrating: "I am here, and you are all still here now, so you must have heard about it."

"Chuzhou has changed its appearance under the manipulation of certain bad elements, but black is black and white is white, and even the darkest dawn cannot stop the appearance of the first light."

"Today, the dark clouds that had been hanging over the people and comrades of Chuzhou have dissipated, and the sun is shining brightly overhead."

"Perhaps some people have become accustomed to the darkness, or perhaps they are lost and afraid because they don't know how to cope with the future."

"But comrades, please calm down."

"Your work and life will not get worse. The new team will arrive soon and lead you to be positive and grow vigorously under the sun."

"At the same time, I also want to thank you all; most of you have kept your true selves in your own ways."

"Because you are here."

"The soil in Chuzhou is not damaged, the root system is not damaged, the upward stems and leaves are diseased, and the tissues are determined to scrape the bone to remove the poison, and will never, and will not allow the virus to continue to develop."

Lin Zhiyuan paused slightly and looked at the many grassroots cadres from Chuzhou standing at the windows and in the corridors. Some of them had just graduated from school and were still young and inexperienced, while others had experienced the baptism of society and could not hide the vicissitudes of life in their eyes.

Lin Zhiyuan bowed deeply to them.

"Director Lin, I am honest and hardworking, and I am doing my job well."

Suddenly, a chubby boy spoke up, startling Song Chusheng.

Depend on!

I doubt any Gen Z would start a workplace overhaul in front of Executive Director Lin.

Lin Zhiyuan reached out to stop him and nodded, signaling the chubby boy to continue.

"But I'm having a really hard time."

"so…"

Emboldened by the approval, the chubby boy suddenly changed the subject, "Could you treat me to Jingzhou barbecue?"

The convoluted questions caused a sudden silence in the room, which was then followed by a burst of loud laughter.

Lin Zhiyuan smiled too.

What a lovely and clever young person.

"Can!"

Lin Zhiyuan promised, "Everyone gets one portion, you get two portions, I have money."

The chubby boy happily agreed.

"Director Lin, I heard you were really good at making money from stocks back in college. Could you teach me how to do it?"

"My stock market is all green."

The chubby boy successfully spoke, and the other little girl next to him was equally determined.

Lin Zhiyuan sighed, thinking to himself that rare treasures always seem to appear in groups.

"This really won't work."

Lin Zhiyuan cruelly refused, saying, "It involves illegal fundraising; we can't do illegal things."

With two lively characters leading the way.

What was supposed to be a reassurance meeting derailed midway and turned into a question-and-answer session.

The main force consists of young people who have just graduated from school, while those in their early thirties and those nearing retirement have also joined in.

It lasted for a full two hours before it finally ended.

Lin Zhiyuan handed the microphone back, his mind, which had been bewildered by the jumbled questions, suddenly clearing up.

Wait, something's not right!

I think I've forgotten something, monkey!
