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

Although Liu Changsheng, Tian Guofu, and Gao Yuliang had never worked for state-owned enterprises or central enterprises, they had all come from that era and knew about their complex internal workings.

But I never expected it to come to this.

Indeed, compared to them, the administrative system is far too conservative in this respect.

"Then why is Governor Zhiyuan still...?"

Gao Yuliang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Since Lin Zhiyuan already knew this, why did he still do it? Wasn't it all for nothing?

"If we don't report it, how will the higher-ups know the extent of Zhongfu Group's reckless behavior?"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled faintly.

"Especially since Jingzhou Zhongfu has taken root in Handong and draws on the local resources, instead of maintaining stability and security, they dare to cause trouble for our government and provincial party committee—they're practically courting death!"

"They're eager to throw their lives away, so I'll just hand the leaders a fuse."

"Teach these guys a lesson."

Lin Zhiyuan was smiling, but the coldness behind that smile was like the frost of December, and Tian Guofu and Gao Yuliang felt a chill in their hearts.

"Could it be... that there have been adjustments?"

Tian Guofu gasped. As a discipline inspection cadre, he was most sensitive to this kind of trend and pointed upwards.

"It should only take a month or two."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled noncommittally.

"It's better to deal with it sooner rather than later."

"Who knows what other trouble they might cause in the future?"

Governor Liu nodded.

Tian Guofu felt a mix of emotions. As expected, the higher-ups trusted Lin Zhiyuan more; he hadn't heard a word about such a big move.

Lin Zhiyuan's background, which directly reaches the highest levels of government, is precisely the biggest problem. At this stage, it's an information war, and falling behind at one step will lead to falling behind at every step.

Tian Guofu really didn't want to confront Lin Zhiyuan, but what's done is done, and there was nothing he could do. Someone told him to test the other party's strength, which led to one trouble after another.

Hey!

Hopefully Secretary Ruijin will arrive soon, otherwise your vanguard general Xiaotian will be beaten to death.

However, Gao Yuliang's eyes behind his glasses suddenly flashed. If the higher-ups really wanted to crack down, Liu Xinjian's downfall might not be a bad thing. He just didn't know if the Zhao family had had time to clean up the mess.

He is now working at the Discipline Inspection Commission.

He was also powerless to help.

"Zhiyuan, then this matter will be handled entirely by you and Secretary Dakang."

Liu Changsheng made the decision.

"Yes, Governor Liu."

Lin Zhiyuan nodded, then looked at Tian Guofu, "I heard that Gao Xiaoqin from Shanshui Group turned herself in. Secretary Tian, ​​have you made any new breakthroughs in the case?"

Tian Guofu nodded and then shook his head.

"Gao Xiaoqin is the chairman and legal representative of Shanshui Group, holding 100% of its shares. She admitted that she obtained information about the Guangmingfeng project in advance by bribing Ding Yizhen, the former deputy mayor of Jingzhou, over a long period of time. Using Ding Yizhen as a bridge, she persuaded Cai Chenggong to obtain a bridge loan from Shanshui Group. At the same time, she spread the news of Cai Chenggong's debt to major banks in Jingzhou, forcing the banks to cut off loans and thus seizing the equity of Dafeng Factory."

"Shanshui Group acquired a lot of land through Ding Yizhen, and Dafeng Factory was just one of them."

"Gao Xiaoqin also explained why the bridge loan from Dafeng Factory to Shanshui Group was paid by the Oil and Gas Group. She said that Shanshui Group borrowed 7 million yuan from the Oil and Gas Group under the pretext of developing the Guangmingfeng project."

"Furthermore, even after the implementation of the Eight-Point Regulation, many cadres from the Shanshui Group still went there for meals and drinks. Chen Qingquan, who was involved in the equity case, was one of them. As for whether Gao Xiaoqin had any dealings with these cadres, it has not yet been found."

If I remember correctly.

"Wasn't Chen Qingquan Secretary Gao's secretary before?"

Tian Guofu's true intentions were revealed.

"Yes, but what does that prove? Or what is Secretary Guofu trying to express?"

Gao Yuliang's glasses lit up as he stared directly at the person who had challenged him on his right. "Are you trying to say that I, Gao Yuliang, have failed in my parenting? Or that I've deliberately spoiled them?"

"Secretary Yuliang, don't be in such a hurry!"

Tian Guofu smiled slightly, "I just wanted to ask you about Chen Qingquan's character and bottom line?"

"Oh, I see."

Gao Yuliang nodded knowingly. "Chen Qingquan was my secretary when I was the secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee. At that time, Luzhou's GDP was consistently the highest in Handong. He was promoted to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and Chen Qingquan went from being a liaison officer to my full-time secretary."

"In my memory, Comrade Chen Qingquan was born in Handong Political and Legal Affairs Bureau. He was a good comrade with excellent professional skills and work style. Therefore, after I was transferred to the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I chose to send him to the countryside."

"He rose step by step from the grassroots level to his current position as the vice president of the Jingzhou Court."

"But to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to his growth trajectory after he was sent down to the countryside."

"If Secretary Guo Fu thinks Chen Qingquan has a problem, he can arrange for the Discipline Inspection Commission to investigate."

"The discipline inspection commission requires evidence. It can't just be based on hearsay or what others say. That's not good, and it's also harmful to our cadres."

"As long as there is evidence to prove that Chen Qingquan has violated laws and regulations, I guarantee with my faith in the organization that I will never protect or defend Chen Qingquan."

"Just like Liu Xinjian was once Secretary Zhao Lichun's secretary, but now that he has made a mistake, the old secretary also supports a thorough investigation."

"We must investigate thoroughly and verify the facts, and avoid harming innocent comrades."

A smile appeared on Gao Yuliang's face.

Through a series of gentle persuasion and subtle maneuvering, she completely distanced herself and Zhao Lichun from the incident, severing all ties, and even directly questioned Tian Guofu about his handling of the matter.

Do you think you're a censor from feudal society who rushes to the front lines at the first sign of trouble? Or a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who executes first and reports later?

If you are an imperial censor or a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, then who is the feudal emperor behind you?

Let's take it out for a spin!

Let the organization and the people of Handong see who dares to act like a king in this new society and new era where the people are the masters!

"Okay, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely base its decisions on the facts."

"Thank you for your criticism, Secretary Gao."

Tian Guofu's lips twitched.

As expected of a great professor, his tongue is indeed sharp. He had only just begun to probe when a barrage of questions came crashing down on him, each word aimed straight at his heart.

Before Secretary Ruijin arrives, he should keep a low profile.

These bastards from Handong are all incredibly aggressive.

Lin Zhiyuan was like this, and so was Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang chuckled, his expression ambiguous.

Waste snacks!

With such limited skills, you dare to act presumptuously in front of a dignified provincial third-rank official? You should bring out your master as soon as possible.

Lin Zhiyuan and Liu Changsheng exchanged a smile.

The fiercer these two fight, the better. Ideally, it would be a fight to the death, so that even if Sha Ruijin came, he could only win one of them.

That would be the best option for their provincial government.

"Cough cough."

Lin Zhiyuan coughed a few times and asked Tian Guofu, who was bowing his head like a quail after the defeat, again, "Secretary Guofu, do Gao Xiaoqin's confession match those of Ding Yizhen and Liu Xinjian?"

"Does this match the evidence uncovered by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
