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

Their heads immediately perked up, and they stopped pretending to be quails.

His eyes flashed with an extremely complex expression.

But the most obvious thing is fear. Performance is something that can be very simple or very complex, and the final result depends entirely on the mood of the person who sets the KPIs.

But it is both reasonable and well-founded.

If Lin Zhiyuan were to launch a major purge, from the two deputy secretaries and the heads of the public security, procuratorate, court, and judicial departments down to the county bureau chiefs, none of them would dare to guarantee that they could withstand it.

The Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission may not be able to remove you from office, but it can guarantee you won't be allowed in. You can appeal if you want. The superior for business guidance is still the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the superior for administrative units is the top leader of each government. Go ahead and appeal!

Lin Zhiyuan is the head of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission and also the second-in-command of the Provincial Government, forming a perfect closed loop.

Gan!

How could there be such an outrageous job assignment in the world? It's so unfriendly to cadres in the political and legal system.

And it's not over yet...

Now, with the addition of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Organization Department, everyone knows that Secretary Tian Guofu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is ruthless, and the Provincial Supervision Department is no less so. Who among them can withstand such a force?

As for choosing a standard-bearer to compete against Lin Zhiyuan, who has no political or legal background...

Forehead!

Qi Tongwei, the only one with any qualifications and the recognized successor to Secretary Gao Yuliang, didn't you see that he just followed Lin Zhiyuan in?

Who doesn't know that Director Qi is Secretary Lin's most loyal henchman?

I'm tired! Let's destroy it!

They couldn't defeat this formidable dragon crossing the river.

"The exam paper is out of 100 marks."

"For those of you who gave negative answers this year, I don't have high expectations. 60 points is enough to pass. But... for those who scored above 90 points and below 30 points, I have prepared promotion rewards."

Lin Zhiyuan took in the changes in everyone's expressions, his tone becoming increasingly calm, "Grades are static; how do we quantify our work?"

"Take Director Qi as an example."

Lin Zhiyuan tapped his fingers on the table, but then turned his attention to Qi Tongwei, "The Public Security Bureau has neither made any major achievements nor committed any major mistakes this year, and the situation in the subordinate municipal bureaus is basically stable. He himself made some mistakes at work, but he also made contributions by going to the front lines in Chuzhou and Lüzhou twice to maintain stability. His merits and demerits cancel each other out, and his job performance is basically up to standard, so that's 60 points."

Only sixty?

Everyone exclaimed inwardly, realizing that the two actions taken by Chuzhou and Lüzhou were enough to warrant two second-class merit awards.

How many of them will pass?

Only a few veterans, such as Zeng Jia and Yang Haijing, showed a hint of envy. It seemed that Qi Tongwei's merits were gone with just one sentence, but in reality, it defined the nature of Qi Tongwei's past and truly defined its nature from the outside.

Even if Lin Zhiyuan no longer serves as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, his successors cannot bring up past mistakes or pursue Qi Tongwei's historical wrongdoings, because this is the consensus reached at the highest-level meeting within the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and holding him accountable would be tantamount to overturning the collective decision.

Everyone's going to have bad luck!

Faced with the strange looks from others, Qi Tongwei just gave a stiff smile, feeling an inexplicable and eerie calm in his heart.

"For example, Zhao Donglai, the former director of the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau, colluded with Chen Yanshi to act as a protective umbrella for Dafeng Factory and his relatives, causing the entire Jingzhou to be in an extremely uncontrollable and dangerous state. He is an unqualified 40 points."

"A vicious attack occurred in Luzhou. The security control was not strict. Even if the subsequent suppression of overseas reactionary forces was meritorious, the merits cannot outweigh the demerits. Fifty points."

"As for high-scoring templates..."

Lin Zhiyuan's gaze shifted again, landing on Li Weimin, the former director of the Chuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and the current secretary of the Chuzhou Political and Legal Committee. "Comrade Weimin remained calm in the eye of the storm, led his colleagues to persevere, and cooperated with the province to rectify the situation. He deserves a score of 90. He is a role model for all of you to learn from."

hum!

Li Weimin proudly straightened his chest. What did it matter if he heard the chorus of curses from Chuzhou? He was still the brightest ray of light in the darkness. He had already earned the first-class merit and made progress. Now he wanted to receive the enthusiastic applause of these old rivals.

The others felt a pang of sympathy seeing Li Weimin's smug expression. Did he even understand the meaning of "humility makes one progress"? The enthusiastic applause in the meeting room was tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.

"on the contrary."

As the applause from Lin Zhiyuan and others subsided, he continued, "The source of turmoil, such as the Lin and Yao families, who are driven by profit, have lost their ideals and beliefs, cannot manage themselves, and use their power, money, and influence to corrupt and persecute other cadres, including those opportunists who are willing to be corrupted and act as accomplices to evil, are the reference points for scores of 0-30."

"As long as your performance review score isn't 40 or below in the first month, I won't hold it against you; I'll just assume you haven't adapted to the new work style yet. But..."

"If you fail to meet the requirements for two consecutive months, then I will have to consider whether you are a good fit for your current position!"

The final tone was set.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Donglai had made such a huge mess and still got a 40 out of 50, so Secretary Lin wasn't going to be so ruthless.

As for what the Yao and Lin families did…

to be frank.

Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do it, or even participate in it. They are just afraid of being coerced by some interest group. Wouldn't those sycophants be worth thirty points? This is enough to show Secretary Lin's disgust for speculators.

Of course, there are also a few whose eyes wander.

"Please submit the list of rotating personnel from your respective units as soon as possible. Meeting adjourned."

After the main meeting, Lin Zhiyuan held two smaller meetings with the two deputy secretaries, the heads of the public security, procuratorate, court and judicial departments, as well as Qin Zhuofeng and Han Tianzhi. The former focused on the boundaries of business leadership and division of labor, while the latter focused on coordinating the standards for review and assessment.

Han Tianzhi was undoubtedly a trusted confidant of the senior student, and Qin Zhuofeng was equally astute. He listened carefully to Lin Zhiyuan's advice, and the three parties reached a friendly agreement.

"Boss."

Secretary Gao saw that Lin Zhiyuan was the last to leave the conference room, so he quickly went to greet him.

"Has anyone asked you to turn yourself in?"

Lin Zhiyuan asked casually.

Xiao Gao quickly shook his head, "Not a single one. They're all stubborn fools who won't admit their mistakes until they're faced with a dire situation."

"oh!"

Lin Zhiyuan asked with great interest, "Are you so sure they have a problem?"

He hadn't mentioned the "fish" to Xiao Gao.

"Several people looked off when they left."

Xiao Gao said with certainty, "Although they hid it very well."

The provincial party committee and provincial government are places that hone one's skills, especially the position of secretary. In the past few months, Secretary Gao believes that his insight has improved by leaps and bounds.

Tell me!

Lin Zhiyuan encouraged him.

"The faces of Jiangdong representative Qian Laizhi, Zhenzhou representative Shi Lan, Wuzhou representative Cai Xionghu, and Executive Deputy Secretary Yang Haijing also looked off."

Xiao Gaoyi shared his observations: "The most strange one was Director Qi; he was like a puppet when he left."

Hey!

Xiao Gao, who isn't very forgiving, is quick to complain.

"You!"

Lin Zhiyuan flicked him on the head and walked away laughing.
