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

Where is the gerbil poison?

The gerbil poison was kept at my father-in-law's and adoptive father's house.

"Dad, when exactly can I go to Handong to take up my post?"

Sha Ruijin was getting a little anxious.

Just two days ago, his adoptive fathers said they would send him down to the countryside as soon as possible, but so far the organization department has not spoken to him.

"At the originally scheduled time."

"Early next month."

"Your application to leave early was rejected by the person surnamed Yan."

Old Qin snorted coldly, "They say the situation in Handong is complicated right now, and if you go down there now, it will consume a lot of your energy and will not be conducive to the work."

"He says he doesn't know, but he's just stalling for time for his good son-in-law. He says one thing and means another."

"Scholars are the worst kind of people."

Sha Ruijin automatically filtered out his father-in-law's grumbling and shrewdly grasped the key point: "Dad, could it be that something has happened in Handong again?"

"Yes, it's about Zhongfu."

Old Qin stopped there.

Sha Ruijin felt a chill run down his spine, unable to understand why Lin Zhiyuan's trip down there had caused so much trouble.

Shouldn't it be covered up completely?

The Dafeng Factory didn't explode, and the miners' village didn't collapse, so why report it to the capital? Wouldn't it be better to let it rot in Handong?

Now it has even further involved the affairs of China Welfare Institute.

"To put it bluntly..."

"Lin Zhiyuan has only just stepped down. What does the old problems in Handong have to do with him? He's just using these incidents to purge the old forces."

Old Master Qin glanced at his son-in-law and lectured him.

"But you can't do that once you're gone. The prerequisite for overturning the table is being able to rebuild it, and you also need the trust of your superiors to tolerate your operations. You lack both of these."

"So you need to slow down and stay calm, only when you have the winning card can you unleash a thunderous strike."

"And just as that old man from the Yan family said, it would definitely be a bad thing if you didn't go to Handong now."

Sha Ruijin listened respectfully, but when Old Qin said he was "a little lacking," he couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling that he was worse than someone who was almost twenty years younger.

How painful it is to feel!

This person will become his teammate in the future.

"But it could go any later."

"According to Tian Guofu's information, Lin Zhiyuan is likely to be the leader of the entire Handong region."

A hint of fear flashed in Sha Ruijin's eyes.

He finally got the opportunity to be promoted from Governor of Bohai Province to Secretary of the Party Committee of Handong Province. Did he just want to become a secretary with only a seal?

"What's the rush!"

Old Qin tapped the ground with his cane in dissatisfaction, making a dull thud. "In the end, he's still just an executive deputy, while you're the class monitor of Handong, controlling the personnel power of an entire province."

"Besides, Lin Zhiyuan might not succeed this time."

"The inspection team will be going down in three days. The leader of the 12th inspection team to Handong is Xu Changhe."

Old Qin was worried that Sha Ruijin might lose his composure, so he reassured him.

"Secretary Xu?"

Sha Ruijin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Xu Changhe, former Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Hanjiang Province, is now retired, but the person who prevented him from advancing further was Lin Zhiyuan.

As the former secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Hanjiang Province, Sha Ruijin paid close attention to the development of Hanjiang Province. What shocked him the most was not the economic development, but Lin Zhiyuan's kicking down five people after taking office.

The executive vice president is usually ranked after the five-person group, holding the fourth position in terms of actual power.

But in this very situation, during his two years at Hanjiang, Lin Zhiyuan replaced all five leaders who were nominally ranked ahead of him.

Back then, Dong Guanghui, the governor of Hanjiang Province, was a conservative and did not agree with Lin Zhiyuan's sweeping reforms. So Lin Zhiyuan, together with Xu Changhe, the provincial party secretary, launched an investigation into the major pollution problems of the international chemical industrial park that Dong Guanghui was in charge of. At a democratic life meeting, they refuted Dong Guanghui so badly that he was speechless and went directly to the hospital afterward.

Lin Zhiyuan also directly submitted the "One Belt, Multiple Plans" planning and development document and the actual implementation plan.

The purpose of transferring him to the Han River region was to revitalize the economy. For development reasons, Governor Dong Guanghui was transferred to Beijing to serve as deputy director of a certain commission. At the same time, a hardworking governor was parachuted in to cooperate with the development plan.

Lin Zhiyuan has now completed the first step.

But just a month later, Lin Zhiyuan took action again, holding the full-time deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Sheng San, accountable for disrupting the construction of the park by local gangsters in the Han River area. At the Standing Committee meeting, he presented a series of evidence to accuse Sheng San of being a protector of organized crime.

He was scolded from the person himself to his ancestors for eighteen generations. The 58-year-old comrade was so scolded that he cried and snot was streaming down his face. Not long after the meeting, the provincial comrade voluntarily submitted his resignation.

Since then.

With the appointment of a new full-time deputy secretary, who no longer concurrently serves as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the public security, procuratorate, court and judicial organs have fallen into the hands of Lin Zhiyuan.

Xu Changhe felt uneasy about the increasingly powerful Lin Zhiyuan and dispatched the provincial discipline inspection commission and organization department to conduct a strict review of the provincial government's entry and exit procedures.

Instead, Lin Zhiyuan used a corruption case to bring down both the provincial discipline inspection commission secretary and the organization minister.

Meanwhile, with the launch of the Hanjiang Provincial Capital City project, Lin Zhiyuan's power was firmly established, forcing the higher authorities to transfer Xu Changhe, who had conflicts with him, once again.

He officially became the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, but retired as soon as he reached the required age.

And all of this happened in just six months.

In just six months, the executive vice president accomplished the incredible feat of defeating five opponents at once, and no one in Hanjiang Province could stop Lin Zhiyuan's comprehensive development and advancement.

If someone else had done this, the higher-ups would have already lost their temper.

But Lin Zhiyuan did not.

Only two years later, after the project framework was completed, he was transferred back to the National Development and Reform Commission, where he had previously served, as the first deputy director.

Sha Ruijin studied the intricacies of the matter in depth and discovered three key points: First, having powerful backers; second, ensuring procedural justice at every step; and third, Lin Zhiyuan's planning effectively boosted and improved the economic development of Hanjiang Province, even leaving behind two valuable assets that are competitive in the world.

The "One-to-Many" or "Power Bank" plan has been heavily criticized within the organization, but even though everyone knows it has problems, they are still learning from it, studying it word by word and frame by frame.

But I ended up learning nothing.

It has the form but not the spirit; a cat painting fails and ends up resembling a dog.

This was also an important reason why Lin Zhiyuan was urgently transferred back to Beijing back then, as the higher-ups were worried that this trend would become the mainstream.

But it is precisely because of this understanding.

Sha Ruijin harbored a vague fear of this future colleague, especially now that he was stuck in Beijing, which made him even more uneasy.

He was terrified of becoming the next Xu Changhe.

But I'm not so worried anymore.

Lin Zhiyuan should deal with Xu Changhe's sudden arrival first; an old man's anger can be terrifying.

"Dad, I feel like we need to change our plans."

A good mood only lasts for a moment.

Xu Changhe couldn't handle Lin Zhiyuan back then, let alone now; at most, he'll just cause some trouble.

Sha Ruijin's already straight back became even more upright, and he crossed his hands with a solemn expression.

Old Qin nodded in satisfaction.

It's acceptable to lose a fight; one should accept defeat. But there's no need to support those who are cowardly and refuse to fight.

It is true that Sha Ruijin is his adopted son and son-in-law, but he also has biological sons and grandsons.

"you say!"
