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

Jiang Bowen looked at Liu Changsheng, who smiled calmly, his meaning clear without a word.

"Secretary Guofu, please inform Comrade Zhuofeng to come here."

Jiang Bowen withdrew his gaze and spoke frankly.

"Yes, Minister Jiang."

Tian Guofu trembled with excitement, his breathing quickened. He had guessed it, but he hadn't expected this day to come so soon.

After all, according to common sense...

It's normal for a position to be vacant for a year or two; it won't affect the normal progress of work.

Sha Ruijin finally realized what was happening.

No wonder it was Jiang Bowen who came, not Zhou Tingyuan.

The frozen expression fluttered like shattered porcelain pieces; it wasn't the right time yet, it wouldn't happen, it might not be.

That was all Sha Ruijin could pray for.

At this moment, he finally received the constant signals from Tong Li, but it was too late.

Tong Li remained calm.

He's used to it.

After arriving in Handong, he noticed that his boss was always easily absorbed in his own world, perhaps because he was really running out of energy.

Qin Zhuofeng arrived quickly.

"I have a few more personnel appointment and dismissal notices here. I will now issue the notices to the leadership of the Handong Provincial Committee."

Jiang Bowen picked up the document and read it aloud:

"1. Comrade Liu Changsheng is relieved of his posts as Deputy Secretary, Standing Committee Member, and Member of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province, and Secretary of the Party Group of the Provincial Government. Comrade Liu Changsheng is nominated as a candidate for Vice Chairman of the Finance and Economics Committee; his resignation as Governor of the Provincial Government shall be submitted to the Provincial People's Congress in accordance with legal procedures, and the Provincial People's Congress shall accept his resignation in accordance with the law."

II. Lin Zhiyuan is appointed as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Group of the Provincial Government of Handong. Lin Zhiyuan is nominated as a candidate for Acting Governor of Handong Province; his position as Vice Governor of the Provincial Government is hereby submitted to the Provincial People's Congress for removal in accordance with the law.

III. Comrade Tian Guofu is removed from his post as Secretary of the Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and appointed as full-time Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.

IV. Comrade Fang Denggao will continue to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, a member of the Provincial Party Committee, and Vice Governor of the Provincial Government; Comrade Fang Denggao will be appointed as Deputy Secretary of the Party Group of the Handong Provincial Government, in charge of the daily work of the Provincial Government;

V. Qin Zhuofeng is relieved of his post as Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection; Qin Zhuofeng is appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, a member of the Provincial Party Committee, and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Jiang Bowen looked at everyone and solemnly said, "This adjustment of the leadership team is an arrangement made by the higher authorities based on the overall national development situation, combined with the actual situation of reform and development in Handong Province, and the overall planning of the construction of the provincial leadership team. It fully reflects the high importance the higher authorities attach to the work in Handong and their care and trust in cadres at all levels in Handong."

"I hope that our comrades will remain true to their original aspirations and forge ahead with determination."

"In particular, Governor Zhiyuan, you must work well with Secretary Sha to lead Handong forward. You must also help the newly joined Comrade Zhuofeng and Comrade Siyuan integrate as soon as possible so that they can carry out their work better and faster."

"Thank you for the organization's trust."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded emphatically, his words few but forceful.

"Governor Liu and Governor Zhiyuan, please stay for a moment. Secretary Guofu, please show Comrade Zhuofeng to the provincial discipline inspection commission cadres again. Comrade Siyuan, please go with Secretary Sha to the office to familiarize yourself with the place. The rest of you may leave now."

Jiang Bowen waved his hand.

Sha Ruijin grabbed Tong Li and Qin Siyuan and left. As for the people from above who came to keep Lin Zhiyuan but not him... well, he was used to it.

So be it!

His heart didn't hurt at all.

Congratulations, Director Liu.

Jiang Bowen changed his form of address, which is not in accordance with regulations, but it is also the best blessing.

They've reached that point.

Our greatest hope is that the plane lands safely.

"Thank you, Minister Jiang."

Liu Changsheng smiled, indicating that he wasn't disappointed. Lin Zhiyuan had done everything he could to help him, and it was still his own fault for raising such a rebellious son.

"Please rest assured, I will stand guard in Handong until the very end."

Jiang Bowen nodded.

They exchanged a few pleasantries.

Liu Changsheng then left first.

"Minister Jiang!"

Lin Zhiyuan spoke helplessly, noticing the strange look in the eyes of the guy opposite him.

"fine!"

Jiang Bowen shook his head, but his next sentence was chilling: "I'm just checking on the person my junior entrusted with his last trust."

"and then?"

Lin Zhiyuan showed no unusual expression and asked with his hands outstretched.

"You guessed it, it's that personnel file, right?"

Jiang Bowen smiled gently and gracefully, as if he were reuniting with an old friend. "Everyone says that the big boss has a worthy son-in-law. I didn't believe it. Who wasn't full of vigor when they were young? But now I believe it. I'm even more convinced that my junior from junior school wouldn't have misjudged him."

"Archives are a direction to consider."

Lin Zhiyuan did not evade the question, "There are two more points. One is that the professor started planning very early, which means he knew about it. The other is that resource list, which carries native labels."

"Don't label me."

Jiang Bowen wasn't buying it. "I'm very clear about the confidentiality regulations. My junior guessed it himself."

"Minister Jiang, were you involved?"

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly asked, a strange smile on his face revealing his gleaming white teeth.

"Behave yourself, you haven't officially come up yet."

Jiang Bowen placed his hand on Lin Zhiyuan's shoulder as a warning, but when asked about the problem, he gave some ambiguous answers:

"The junior student is capable and ambitious, but he started late and was naturally behind. Originally, this was just a game of jumping ship, but things went beyond my expectations from the very first step."

"I know the waters in Handong run deep."

"But to my surprise, every step I took turned into a stinky puddle, so the junior got dirty."

"It can be washed clean if it gets dirty."

"As long as the plan goes smoothly, the junior student can leverage his momentum, cut through the enemy lines, and complete the cleanup; at worst, it will result in a stalemate."

"but…"

"As the junior gets older, his opportunities become fewer and fewer. Moreover, the more he comes into contact with certain things, the more frightening they become. It's hard to say whether it's man-made, inevitable, or his own indecisiveness. The problem is gradually getting out of control."

"So after the draft was finalized, a record was made."

"But God is also lucky."

"That's what my junior told me: You've come to Handong."

"You brought a completely different Handong."

Lin Zhiyuan's gaze remained unchanged; he simply stared intently at him.

"It's true."

Jiang Bowen smiled again, "Everyone has desires, including us, but we also seek fame and a peaceful place."

"Anyone can see Handong turn bad."

"But we can't do that. Our roots are here, but it seems like our home has been tainted by something foul. We have to get rid of it, no matter what it takes."

"We must ensure that the seeds we select take root, sprout, and grow strong."

"You two are so alike."

Lin Zhiyuan said this.

"Of course, I taught that junior student."

Jiang Bowen was quite pleased with himself.

"You don't have his guts!"

Lin Zhiyuan continued.

"you!"

Jiang Bowen's face flushed red instantly, and he was so angry that his outstretched fingers trembled as he forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Alright, I'm not going to talk to someone as rude as you anymore."

Jiang Bowen said, "President Wang asked me to borrow someone from you."
