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

"Wouldn't we offend Lin Zhiyuan for the sake of Marquis Changxin?"

"That monkey is quite something."

"His ability to cause trouble is unparalleled."

An old man with gray hair looked worried.

Lin Zhiyuan is no ordinary person. He assisted Director Xiao in managing daily operations for two years, and no one knows whether he holds any leverage over them.

"Won't!"

Director Hao said confidently, "Director Lin has a very good reputation. He likes to do things for money. We've given him what we promised, so even if Hou Liangping causes a huge uproar, he won't take it out on us."

"otherwise."

"Of all the places in the country, why did I only choose Handong? It's not just because there are available positions in Handong, but also because Director Lin is there in Handong."

Director Hao scoffed, "Even if that monkey really is the Monkey King, so what? Can he escape from the Buddha's palm?"

Upon hearing this...

The others exchanged glances and nodded again.

In terms of background, Yan Lao is superior to Zhong Lao; in terms of personal strength, ten Hou Liangpings stacked together wouldn't be enough to defeat Lin Zhiyuan.

For two whole years, Hou Liangping never dared to make a fuss about people in the departments and bureaus under Lin Zhiyuan's jurisdiction.

"Director, do you think Lin Zhiyuan has any solutions for our bureau's problems?"

The old man in the middle suddenly asked.

He is the executive deputy director, and apart from Director Hao, he is the one most afraid of something going wrong.

"Who knows!"

Director Hao's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly put on a normal smile again.

The people over here are laughing.

The people of Handong were also laughing.

"Great! We've landed another big project, and they even gave us Hou Liangping as a bonus."

"but…"

"I hope you're the real Great Sage, not Marquis Changxin, otherwise you're in big trouble."

Lin Zhiyuan organized the documents he had reviewed, then got up and put the other documents into his bag.

Just in time.

He knocked loudly on the door and entered, reminding them, "Boss, you have fifteen minutes left before your appointment with Secretary Gao."

"Okay, come with me."

Lin Zhiyuan responded with a smile and stuffed the bulging file bag into the other person's hand.

"Forehead!"

He shouted and hurriedly followed.

As a full-time secretary to a deputy ministerial-level leader, the secretary does not actually accompany the leader throughout the entire process; instead, the secretary mainly works in the outer office.

For example, right now...

Lin Zhiyuan usually doesn't need to accompany him when he goes to report on work or discuss matters with his superiors.

But every time he went to Secretary Gao's place, the boss liked to have him come along, and he liked to call himself "Little Gao" in front of Secretary Gao. He always looked very happy, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

I strongly suspect that the boss chose me in the end simply because I had the advantage of having the same surname.

He felt sorry for himself, having become part of the two leaders' scheme, but he dared not say so.

"Secretary Yuliang, I've come to taste your Longjing tea again."

Many people came to Gao Yuliang to report on their work, including those from the Department of Political Science and Law and the Party School, but Lin Zhiyuan chose to cut in line.

"If Governor Zhiyuan likes it, he can come over often."

"It's just a short walk."

Gao Yuliang smiled and gestured for Secretary He to serve tea, but his gaze behind his glasses fell on Lin Zhiyuan's obviously happy face. "Is something good happening?"

"yes!"

Lin Zhiyuan admitted directly that he opened the document bag, but what he took out was not documents, but two packs of cigarettes without any markings.

"Knowing that Secretary Yuliang likes Geely, how about trying these two? Does it make you cough?"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled.

"Is this Elder Yan's?"

Gao Yuliang's heart skipped a beat.

He got similar cigarettes from Zhao Lichun and his senior classmates, but the quantity was small, and they were obviously inferior to these two packs.

and…

Offering cigarettes carries significant meaning for them.

"His lungs are not good, and his doctor doesn't allow him to smoke too much."

Lin Zhiyuan looked pleased. "Look, I've taken it all."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Gao Yuliang couldn't help but chuckle. Having a beloved daughter himself, he could fully understand how heartbroken Old Yan must have been to discover that his cigarettes and alcohol were gone.

"Then I shall accept it without hesitation."

A series of thoughts flashed across Gao Yuliang's eyes, but he had already put away both packs of cigarettes.

"Secretary Gao, don't rush to thank me."

Lin Zhiyuan interrupted.

"Um?"

Gao Yuliang was startled. Could it be a cigarette butt?

That's right.

"Director Hao made a call; considering that there's no one to head the Anti-Corruption Bureau right now, they want to transfer Comrade Hou Liangping from the First Division of the General Administration."

"At the same time, Comrade Lü Liang was promoted to deputy chief prosecutor in charge of the anti-corruption bureau. This combination of experienced and new personnel will help stabilize the situation in Handong while ensuring the effectiveness of the anti-corruption bureau."

Lin Zhiyuan explained.

Director Hao?

Gao Yuliang was stunned by the title for a long time before he could recall the relevant identity information in his mind.

But why would that person interfere with Hou Liangping's appointment?

Then it turned another corner.

Gao Yuliang finally figured out the key point: that mischievous monkey must have caused trouble in the capital again.

but…

He seemed to have no reason to object. Everyone knew Hou Liangping, Chen Hai, and Qi Tongwei were the three heroes of Handong back then, and he was Gao Yuliang's disciple.

wrong!

Since Lin Zhiyuan brought it up, something's not right.

Could it be...?

Gao Yuliang was suddenly startled to find that the Zhong family had also joined the hunt for the old Party Secretary.

Zhong Xiaoai's father, Zhong Mingde, is not on the same level of power as the Qin and Zhang families.

Both are deputy positions.

Zhong Mingde wields real power.

But Gao Yuliang's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "Although Comrade Hou Liangping is my student, he has long served in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, fighting on the front lines of the anti-corruption campaign. I couldn't be happier to have such a comrade come to Handong!"

"Alright, since Secretary Yuliang agrees, let's go through the procedures and get it approved by the Provincial Party Committee."

However, Lin Zhiyuan agreed immediately, not giving Gao Yuliang even the slightest chance to pull him away.

As they were talking.

Lin Zhiyuan pulled out a few pages from the file bag and smoothly steered the conversation to the next topic, "The inspection team plans to re-investigate the coal mines in Lincheng. Considering the complex ecological issues, a professional team needs to be dispatched to assist. Considering that the majority of the personnel are from the political and legal system, I would like to ask Secretary Yuliang to take charge of this matter."

"Okay, cooperating with the inspection team is what the provincial party committee should do."

Gao Yuliang agreed with a wry smile.

He felt a sense of helplessness, like a scholar encountering a soldier; Lin Zhiyuan was too good at taking advantage of others.

"In addition, Director Hao gave me a project."

"It's a demonstration project about new energy, aimed at improving the post-mining management of coal mines. I also want to entrust this project to the political science and law department."

After getting what he wanted, Lin Zhiyuan offered a sweet treat to appease him.

"this!"

Gao Yuliang was surprised.

New energy projects also involve ecological governance; if done well, this would be a great achievement.

Lin Zhiyuan was actually willing to share such a big prize with their political and legal system.

"While working on the front lines of law and political science is good, once you gain project experience, you can go from small parts to big parts, and your future will be even brighter."

Lin Zhiyuan answered with a smile, like an old fox.

Qi Tongwei?!
