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

Upon hearing this voice...

Sha Ruijin was startled; something was wrong, he hadn't even expressed his opinion yet.

Looking in the direction of the sound.

Tian Guofu was the first person to take the lead in responding to any situation, and he took the initiative to join the battle.

That makes perfect sense.

Sha Ruijin inwardly applauded Tian Guofu. Lin Zhiyuan was already so strong, how could he bring in another outside helper, especially one who had poached his own talent?

In short, he would never allow Lin Zhiyuan to collude with the Zhong family.

and so…

Comrade Guofu, charge forward!

Although he didn't know why the other party was against it, he just went ahead and did it.

"Oh?"

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the provincial discipline inspection commission secretary, who had been developing from "three talks, three nos, and five questions," with a faint look in his eyes. "Secretary Guofu, please feel free to speak your mind. After all, our provincial party committee is a democratic and harmonious group."

Ha ha!

Tian Guofu sneered, "Does your cannibalistic behavior give the other Standing Committee members any reason to disagree?"

But unfortunately...

You've provoked the wrong person!

Standing before the entire Hantong Provincial Party Committee leadership team is me, Tian Guofu, the "Three No's and Five Questions Secretary" who votes against anything unreasonable.

"I have no objection to the units and individuals that Executive Director Lin just commended, but I do not agree with the proposal to transfer Comrade Hou Liangping from another system to serve as the Executive Vice Mayor of Jiangdong."

"The situation in Jiangdong is complex, and it is true that cadres with strong bottom-line principles are needed to take the lead. However, there are plenty of good cadres in Handong, and Comrade Hou Liangping is by no means unique."

"What Jiangdong really needs is an executive vice mayor who can strongly and effectively restore the city's vitality and help it reach new heights from the ground up."

"But Comrade Hou Liangping graduated from the Department of Political Science and Law of Wuhan University and has been working in the procuratorate system. He has no experience in local government and is unfamiliar with administrative practice. He does not meet the needs of Jiangdong for replacement cadres to quickly integrate and devote themselves to the work."

"As for his remarkable economic acumen..."

"Being good at identifying economic problems and being good at developing the economy are two completely different concepts. To conflate them is something I cannot agree with!"

Tian Guofu sneered, his gaze sweeping over each of the Standing Committee members. "This isn't just a town or a village; it's the livelihood of five million people in Jiangdong. Especially under these special circumstances, entrusting Jiangdong to a clueless cadre at such great risk is extremely irresponsible."

"Members of the Standing Committee, we have just emerged from one quagmire, not to jump into another. I will pay close attention to how you exercise your voting rights."

"Executive Director Lin, don't look at me like that."

"I'm telling you in the most straightforward and unambiguous way that it's absolutely foolish of you to bring up this proposal at today's meeting table."

"I think you've lost your mind."

hiss!

The members of the Standing Committee gasped in shock.

They knew that Tian Guofu had been very brave lately, criticizing rat poison and spraying tall plants, and making sarcastic remarks about others. But this was the first time he had so ruthlessly and harshly rebuked Lin Zhiyuan.

You've probably forgotten how humiliated you were last time!

Brilliant!

If we're talking about who was the most excited person in the room, it has to be Shen Shanhe. He gulped down three big mouthfuls of water and cracked sunflower seeds like crazy. Today was definitely worth it.

Finally, someone can teach the arrogant Lin Zhiyuan a lesson.

A time of great joy for all!

Sha Ruijin tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips. Well done. The topic now is all about personnel appointments and dismissals, and the five-person team's authority. There is absolutely no way that the high-precision sniper blunder from last time will happen again.

"I object too!"

In a moment of earth-shattering shock.

Another faint sound rang out.

Everyone looked over, and the one who spoke was none other than Li Dakang, the Little Tyrant of Jingzhou. Li Dakang avoided eye contact with Lin Zhiyuan, but his attitude was resolute.

Ok?

Sha Ruijin was astonished. Had a split broken out within the provincial government faction?

Only Gao Yuliang had a half-smile on his lips, oh, he finally couldn't hold back.

"My reasons for objecting are similar to those of Secretary Tian."

"Comrade Hou Liangping's anti-corruption work is excellent. He can continue his studies at the procuratorate. There is no need to go through the trouble of transferring him across systems. Similarly, I do not believe that Comrade Liangping can quickly adapt to the complex environment of Jiangdong."

Li Dakang's small eyes darted around as he racked his brains, preparing to face Lin Zhiyuan's counterattack.

But I had no choice but to speak out.

Qin Shuangbi is his man. Now that Jiangdong has lost its squad leader, it has naturally become the deputy squad leader's domain. With his abilities, it won't be difficult for him to achieve something.

But if Hou Liangping were to go there, with the help of the Chung family, it's hard to say who would be in charge of the city government in the future.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Jiangdong was a stronghold that radiated from Jingzhou to Hanbei and resisted the southward expansion of Lincheng's influence.

Luzhou and Yang Wanli were already enough of a headache for him. If Lincheng were added to the mix, who in Handong or even outside the province would remember that Jingzhou was the capital of Handong Province?

to this end…

Even when facing Lin Zhiyuan, we cannot retreat even half a step.

"I acknowledge that cross-system transfers carry risks, but can Secretary Guofu and Secretary Dakang guarantee that other cadres will perfectly adapt to the Jiangdong environment?"

Nothing in this world is ever 100% certain.

"Just as Chuzhou mobilized Comrades Sun Haiping and Cheng Jingtao, the core purpose was to stabilize the overall situation and set an example. The same is true in Jiangdong now, where stability is a far greater priority than new development."

"And Comrade Liangping's principles and integrity have stood the test of time."

"Work experience..."

"Hehe, if I remember correctly, when Secretary Guofu was transferred to the Discipline Inspection Commission in Lincheng, he didn't hold this kind of position, did he?"

"Don't be lenient with yourself but strict with others."

"They are all organizational cadres."

Lin Zhiyuan responded word by word, "Or is it that Secretary Guofu and Secretary Dakang have other, more suitable candidates? Why not bring them up for discussion?"

Nima!

Tian Guofu's right eyelid twitched violently; this was completely unlike Lin Zhiyuan's usual fighting style.

But why does this sound so familiar? It's like I've seen it before. My gaze inadvertently swept across Gao Yuliang across from me. That's right, isn't this Professor Gao's sophistry?

Gou Dongxi!

It's like one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch. Now Lin Zhiyuan has even copied it. How are others supposed to be served this?

Hi hi!

Sha Ruijin felt particularly clear-headed from a third-person perspective. Seeing that Tian Guofu and the other man couldn't find the key point for a long time, he cleared his throat and shifted the focus of the entire room, saying, "The promotion and appointment of cadres, including temporary emergency transfers, still need to follow the proper procedures."

"Right, Comrade Zuo Tao?"

A single sentence shattered the silence, leaving only an uneasy Zuo Tao trembling.

"Given the special circumstances in Jiangdong, we are taking a cautious approach to the appointment of cadres and internal departmental matters, and are still looking for suitable successors."

Zuo Tao answered weakly.

He couldn't afford to offend either side, but Lin Zhiyuan's impromptu proposal did indeed conflict with the established procedures.

So I can only apologize.

Correct!

Tian Guofu immediately responded, while giving Sha Ruijin a look, as if to say that he had finally done something serious. "The more urgent the moment, the more we should follow the procedures."

"so."

"Executive Director Lin, your proposal is invalid and violates regulations."
