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

Jingle Bell!

Lin Zhiyuan, who was buried in a sea of ​​documents, looked up and his secure cell phone rang.

"Director Lin, it's me."

A deep male voice came from the phone, with a hint of pleasure in it.

"Director Hao."

Lin Zhiyuan greeted him naturally, his subordinates' hands never stopping signing documents. "You're so busy, what brings you to call me?"

"Director Lin, this is too formal."

Director Hao exuded an air of familiar warmth, but beneath that warmth lay an absolute chill, for every syllable resonated with the most emotionally charged moments.

"I'm calling to thank you for the tip from the Hanjing Prefecture."

"Why!"

"Another division chief in our bureau has fallen into corruption."

Director Hao sighed repeatedly, revealing his unspeakable exhaustion. "Including Zhao Dehan, this is the fourth person in the same position to have done this."

"When we investigated Zhao Dehan's line, we found out that there were three deputy directors, a director, and a deputy director working together in the same gang."

"Including the one from April of this year."

"There are five people now."

"Why!"

"I don't know if I'll follow in my ex's footsteps one day and be gone."

Director Hao appeared anxious and uneasy.

"Yes, we should take this as a warning."

Lin Zhiyuan didn't respond at all.

"Ahem!"

Director Hao coughed deliberately, seemingly organizing his thoughts, "Director Lin, you're young and quick-witted, unlike this old guy whose mind is stuck. Is there any way you can help your older brother like me?"

"I really don't want to. The next time you want to see me, it will be in Qincheng Prison."

"Please, brother, I'm begging you."

"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. My mother's health is already poor. If she hears that something has happened to me, she'll cry herself blind."

Director Hao got straight to the point, revealing only his desire to save himself, without a trace of covetousness for power.

"Everyone outside calls me the energy czar, but they have no idea how hard I work. I'm just a steward and a gatekeeper."

"I have asked myself if I have followed the rules and regulations and worked diligently to get to this point."

"But I approve so many projects every year. If one treacherous person causes a scandal, can the organization trust me once or twice, but not repeatedly?"

"The yellow mud in your crotch, even if it's not shit, it's still shit!"

What Director Hao said is reality, but it is also painful.

"I can't help it."

"You're like gold on the street, or fat meat in a swarm of flies."

Lin Zhiyuan's attitude remained firm; that was not something he could touch right now, and he even kept his distance from Old Man Yan.

If it were really that easy to change.

If those above hadn't acted sooner, even Buddha would have had to wear a black mask to get out.

"Director Hao, you didn't call today about this, did you?"

Lin Zhiyuan realized he had been careless and shouldn't have answered the phone.

"Hehe, well, I'd like to ask Director Lin for a favor."

Director Hao's tone changed completely, and there was no trace of the fear and unease he had just displayed. No matter how professional the ventriloquism, it could not have produced such a seamless and wonderful performance.

"Speak first."

Lin Zhiyuan held the phone a little further away, as if it were something filthy.

"When we were investigating Zhao Dehan, we discovered that the old bastard had already been under the watchful eye of the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

"That Marquis Changxin of the Zhong family."

"Speaking of which, he's one of your sons-in-law, but I heard that because of the Zhong family's influence, he looks down on sons-in-law the most."

"That Marquis Changxin is despicable!"

"It's right that the officials in our bureau should be arrested for corruption, but this guy doesn't care about the impact at all. He always makes a big fuss about it, and we're losing face completely."

"And he's not even human!"

"They treat our cadres like fish in their pond, coming to us every few days whenever they lack achievements."

Director Hao cursed and swore on the phone as if he were seeing an enemy, "And in the ministries, Director Lin, as you know, has arrested quite a few people."

"They don't respect you or me at all."

Stop!

Lin Zhiyuan quickly corrected him in a low voice, "He has never arrested any of my men."

"If you're not corrupt and don't break the law, how could you get arrested? Do you think we've created a law specifically for someone like Hou Liangping?"

Gan!

The person on the other end of the phone cursed something.

"Director Hao..."

Lin Zhiyuan's voice turned colder.

"Director Lin, please don't misunderstand. I'm not venting my emotions on you."

Director Hao quickly explained.

That's what we think.

"Comrade Hou Liangping has been fighting on the front line of political and legal affairs for many years. He has upheld his beliefs and is of reliable quality. At just over forty years old, he has already become the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau with the treatment of a deputy director-general."

"Such an outstanding talent should definitely be promoted and given important responsibilities. We need to resolve his issue of having a substantive post. Wasn't your deputy director of the anti-corruption bureau in Handong dealt with? Why not give the vacant position to Comrade Hou Liangping?"

"I heard that!"

"Comrade Hou Liangping and Chen Hai are both alumni of Handong University and have a very good relationship. He can help the Handong Anti-Corruption Bureau stabilize the situation as quickly as possible."

With a heart full of concern for the country and its people, Director Hao eloquently explained all the plans, showing that he was thinking of the organization's outstanding cadres and the overall situation in Handong.

What a clever tactic of shifting the blame!

"What a coincidence, Director Hao."

"There are many affairs in Handong recently. I discussed it with Comrade Gao Yuliang, the full-time deputy secretary of Handong and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. We felt that we should be cautious and it is not suitable to parachute in leaders from outside."

"Furthermore, Comrade Lü Liang, the deputy director of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, is experienced, down-to-earth, and capable. It is time for him to take on a more important position. We cannot let the veteran cadres who have worked hard all their lives feel disheartened."

Lin Zhiyuan refused outright after hearing this.

He filled two baskets with grand principles and threw them back.

"No, no!"

Director Hao immediately became anxious, "We must take care of these hardworking veteran comrades. In this way, Comrade Lü Liang will be promoted to deputy chief prosecutor and put in charge of the anti-corruption bureau, and Comrade Hou Liangping will be appointed as the director of the anti-corruption bureau. This way, the old can mentor the new and they can adapt quickly."

"Okay, I see! I'll discuss it with Secretary Gao again."

Lin Zhiyuan hesitated.

"so…"

Director Hao gritted his teeth and said, "I really can't bear to see a good cadre like Comrade Hou Liangping stagnate and waste his precious promotion time."

"Handong has a complete new energy industry chain, and photovoltaic and wind power have great potential. I will approve another new energy demonstration project and a subsidy for Handong, which will help improve the situation of the coal mine downturn."

"Director Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Zhiyuan put down his pen completely. "Director Hao, isn't this too difficult for you?"

"No problem! No problem!"

Director Hao patted his chest and assured him.

"Okay, I will definitely discuss it with Secretary Gao, but the transfer from above will depend on you."

Lin Zhiyuan said.

"good!"

Director Hao finally hung up the phone, satisfied. He raised an eyebrow at the people on the other end, "Now you can all rest assured, right?"

"Can!"

"Compared to that monkey who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Governor Lin's request is not excessive."

The people opposite them spoke up, but there was still some hesitation on their faces, "However..."

P.S.: Thank you so much to the person who posted this out of love! (Eat Wafer Biscuits?)
