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

"Whatever instructions General Manager Wang may have, the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government are ready at any time."

Lin Zhiyuan instantly perked up, no longer looking menacing, his eyes shining with an astonishing intensity.

"The higher authorities have decided to regulate the development of internet finance and carry out special risk rectification work, aiming to rely on the economic crime investigation system to prevent and deal with illegal fundraising and protect the healthy and orderly development of internet finance."

"Therefore, a special working group for the rectification of internet financial risks was established with the People's Bank of China as the leading unit. One of the important tasks is to comprehensively clean up P2P platforms."

"To this end, a special subgroup for P2P lending was established, namely the Leading Group for Special Rectification of Online Lending Risks. It is led by the China Banking Regulatory Commission and is of a very high level. The deputy leaders are all from ministerial-level units, covering 15 higher-level ministries and commissions, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, etc."

"Comrade Qiu Tianhen, the Vice Governor of Handong Province, was one of the first cadres in the country to engage with and promote the platform investigation. He has rich frontline experience. General Manager Wang personally selected Comrade Tianhen to join the team, but..."

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan's increasingly bright eyes, Jiang Bowen deliberately drew out his words, "Considering Comrade Tianhen's health condition and the normal operation of the Handong Provincial Government, we consulted Governor Zhiyuan and Comrade Tianhen's opinions beforehand."

"Minister Jiang, please wait a moment while I make a phone call."

Lin Zhiyuan immediately dialed the phone and shouted, "Governor Tianhen, come to the Provincial Party Committee meeting room from the Provincial Government right now! Yes, right now! Run!"

Jiang Bowen's lips twitched.

You say you're always ready, and you really are! Did someone tip you off?

That doesn't make sense either!

President Wang conveyed the message to him privately in advance, deliberately bypassing Elder Yan. Could it be that this guy is truly shrewd and has even guessed this?

Just so.

How could he possibly control the bastard in front of him?

"Hehe, Minister Jiang."

Lin Zhiyuan wore a shy smile and kept rubbing his hands together. "Besides Governor Tianhen, many of our comrades in Handong personally participated in the investigation of the platform case. For example, Comrade Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau, was not only the front-line commander who cracked down on the mastermind behind the revenge in Luzhou, but also recently cracked the Diaozhou Mutual Aid Association."

"Highly skilled and with extensive practical experience, perhaps Minister Jiang could recommend him to General Manager Wang again."

Jiang Bowen was speechless.

He couldn't quite accept how quickly the other person changed their attitude. How could someone who was about to become his equal in rank be so shameless and brazen? Just moments before, they were eyeing him covetously, eager to bring him down, but now they were fawning over him, all for the sake of recommending the provincial public security chief to join the group.

Is this what they call the generation gap?

A question mark slowly appeared in Jiang Bowen's mind. He felt that he might really be getting old.

and…

Is it too impolite to talk about Diaozhou in front of him?

"Who to transfer and who to appoint will naturally be decided by the higher authorities."

Jiang Bowen retorted, "Besides, a provincial vice governor in charge of political and legal affairs is about to be transferred, and the director of the public security department is also going to be transferred away. Does your Handong public security system even need to carry out its work? Do you think Handong is very stable?"

"A major event that shocked the higher authorities and the entire country occurred in January. Which province, municipality, or autonomous region in the country is as restless as Handong? Has the Diaozhou case ended? Do the people of Diaozhou and Handong feel safe now?"

"You can't even manage your own little corner of the world, yet you want to get involved in overall affairs! Where do you get the nerve!"

Jiang Bowen raised his voice higher and higher, then simply waved his hand and said, "Don't even think about it! If it weren't for General Manager Wang's orders, I wouldn't have agreed to Tianhen's request, let alone Qi Tongwei's."

cut!

If you disagree, then you disagree.

Lin Zhiyuan immediately wiped the smile off his face, once again demonstrating to outsiders the true essence of the art of face-changing.

Qiu Tianhen arrived soon.

"Governor Zhiyuan, Comrade Tianhen and I need to discuss some work matters. Please take Comrade Siyuan to get acquainted with the comrades in the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission to complete the handover of work."

Since the guy in front of us is no longer useful.

Jiang Bowen immediately sent people away.

"Keep it up!"

Lin Zhiyuan simply stood up and patted Qiu Tianhen on the shoulder as he passed by to encourage him.

Sha Ruijin and Qin Siyuan chatted happily, reminiscing about their glorious past, clearly old acquaintances.

"Governor Zhiyuan!"

Sha Ruijin's smile remained unchanged. The same title now carried a completely different meaning, but he had been prepared for it long ago, so he could still accept it.

and…

It's a good thing that Qin Siyuan is here!

The provincial government losing a standing committee member and vice governor means losing a vote, and that vote is worth a fortune.

Given his past friendship with Qin Siyuan, wouldn't it be easy to win him over?

The opponent loses one, and we gain one.

That's the difference between two.

Hehehe!

Lin Zhiyuan, from now on the offensive and defensive positions have reversed; you can go where I want, and so can I.

"I'll take Secretary Siyuan to the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission to introduce him to the cadres of the five major systems of public security, procuratorate, court, and justice in Long'an."

Lin Zhiyuan did not take a seat.

He was in a hurry; he had an elderly man at home who needed comforting, and he couldn't afford to let people forget him once they left.

"OK!"

Sha Ruijin readily agreed, saying it was good to take over the work sooner, as it would allow him to eliminate Lin Zhiyuan's influence within the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission sooner.

"Governor Lin, I have mostly worked within the judicial system of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and I lack experience in local work. Please correct me if I have any shortcomings."

The two walked side by side.

Qin Siyuan spoke politely, but upon closer examination, there was a different meaning. He was pointing out that he was not someone to be trifled with and should not leave himself any trouble at work, while also expressing his firm attitude of obeying the overall decision of the provincial party committee, and even showing a willingness to side with him.

"It's all as it should be."

"You can come to me if you encounter any difficulties at work."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled slightly, "But Secretary Siyuan should also know the basic situation of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong Province. Now that the position of Executive Deputy Secretary is vacant, the heavy responsibility will probably fall on your shoulders alone in the short term."

"clear!"

Qin Siyuan gave a bitter smile.

Given his position, he could have been promoted to the position of Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission or joined the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, which would have been something to be happy about. But he ended up in Handong.

Everyone knows that Handong is a minefield, and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the four major systems of public security, procuratorate, court and justice are the mine-clearing troops.

and so…

After Mr. Zhong helped recommend him, a strange thing happened: he had no competitors.

This scene is unique throughout history.

Those gamblers who used to seize any opportunity have now vanished without a trace.

He panicked even more.

It's true that he and Sha Ruijin had a past relationship, but in order to survive and step down, he didn't hesitate to express goodwill to Lin Zhiyuan.

because…

Where is the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission aiming its sword? Lin Zhiyuan is the one who truly wields the sword.

In this situation.

Old acquaintances are nothing.

So, I'm sorry, Secretary Sha.
