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

The black car slowly drove into the Crescent Lake scenic area.

But as soon as we arrived at Dongshan Peninsula, which is the area along the lakeside road and lake bay, our car was blocked by a huge crowd.

"Um?"

Yang Wanli, with his tall, tiger-like body, leaned forward, his eyes slightly narrowed, and spotted government staff in the crowd.

"Comrade Yuan Liang, are there any government events or plans for Crescent Lake recently?"

Fang Wu asked in a deep voice.

Lin Zhiyuan is also in the car.

The perfect afternoon trip made everyone on the inspection tour very happy, but the unexpected turn of events at the last stop made him very unhappy.

Yang Wanli gritted his teeth.

He thought he was there to cause trouble, but before he even made a move, trouble started. What kind of person is he!

"The municipal government hasn't received any reports..."

Yuan Liang, sitting in the passenger seat, was equally bewildered, but quickly tried to salvage the situation by saying, "Executive Director Lin, Secretary Yang, let me go and find out what's going on."

"I guarantee that Luzhou is a city with a strong sense of rule of law and humanistic spirit, and there will never be any chaos without cause."

"etc!"

Lin Zhiyuan called out to Yuan Liang, who was about to get out of the car, his gaze fixed on another black sedan not far away through the car window.

The car itself isn't important; what matters is the person next to it.

"Oh, it's him!"

Yang Wanli also saw it, "How come he arrived a day early?"

"They are all cadres of the organization."

Lin Zhiyuan straightened his suit, got out of the car, and said with a faint smile, "Since we've run into each other unexpectedly, let's go say hello."

"Listen to Executive Director Lin."

Yang Wanli simply got off the car from the other side, and Yuan Liang followed closely behind.

"Secretary Guofu!"

Tian Guofu stood with his arms crossed, staring intently at the center of the crowd, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

He said that there are still smart people in Handong.

Isn't that what happened?

But one must be cautious when things are going well. His happiness didn't last long; it was quickly blown away by a familiar title.

"Governor Lin... what a coincidence!"

"You've come to Lüzhou too?"

Tian Guofu turned around mechanically, like a robot, with an unnatural smile on his face, before quickly reverting to his usual harmless demeanor.

Damn it!

How come I keep running into this jinx wherever I go?

As Tian Guofu turned around, he glared at Secretary Jia, who immediately lowered her head, but her face was full of indifference.

"Um?"

Lin Zhiyuan reached out and shook hands with Tian Guofu, then asked at the opportune moment, "Secretary Guofu, didn't you see my schedule at the Provincial Party Committee?"

Even when members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee travel within the province, they still need to report to their supervising leader and the Provincial Party Committee General Office. For example, Lin Zhiyuan, as the Executive Vice Chairman, also needs to report to the Provincial Government General Office.

In theory, there is no need to notify the other members of the Standing Committee.

However, in practice, for work needs, the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government will issue secretaries and liaisons to the heads of various units to facilitate the work.

So just as Lin Zhiyuan and Yang Wanli knew that Tian Guofu was coming, Tian Guofu should also have known.

Lin Zhiyuan subtly cast an appreciative glance at his beloved secretary, Xiao Jia, a gesture undoubtedly aided by his own efforts.

For example, Lin Zhiyuan submitted his report in advance before Tian Guofu did; another example is that Lin Zhiyuan's itinerary was given to Tian Guofu in the form of ordinary documents without any special reporting.

The result? Hehe…

Tian Guofu himself is also a good-for-nothing; he didn't even glance at such an important matter.

All day long, I don't know what he's up to at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He's been in Handong for more than half a year, and apart from a few cases that Lin Zhiyuan exposed and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was forced to take over, there's been nothing else going on.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's sharp sword is like a weapon firmly welded to its sheath with super glue.

"Secretary Guofu, we just arrived."

"What happened up ahead? Could you tell us about it?"

Without waiting for a reply, Lin Zhiyuan moved on to another topic.

Two members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee were present.

What else could Tian Guofu do? Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't.

But a bad feeling welled up inside me.

This trip to Luzhou, which I had high hopes for, will probably come to nothing again.

Lin Zhiyuan, you deserve to die!

You are the biggest protector of the Zhao family. The sky over Handong is truly dark. How cruel is the heavens to me?

"Governor Lin, Secretary Yang, I just arrived too."

"I heard from others that the development zone management committee plans to demolish the restaurants that are polluting Crescent Lake in accordance with the law."

"The restaurant owners disagree and have been making a scene here every day. When Yi Xuexi, the director of the development zone, came over today, he was surrounded by them as soon as he got out of the car."

Tian Guofu wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Zhiyuan to pieces, but his face remained gentle and smiling, and his tone was completely calm.

These words were spoken.

Yang Wanli and Yuan Liang exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Forehead?"

Yuan Liang looked completely innocent and waved his hands repeatedly in denial, saying, "The municipal government didn't agree to the demolition plan; they rejected it outright."

"I specifically reported this matter to Secretary Yang."

"The proposal submitted by EasyLearning only has one topic to break down, nothing else. How could I possibly agree to it or sign it?"

"Moreover, it was after several discussions with Qi Yuanfang, the vice mayor in charge of environmental protection, that we jointly represented the municipal government in rejecting Yi Xuexi's proposal."

"I asked him to change it, but it's always the same: he only mentions demolition but doesn't talk about handling the follow-up."

Yang Wanli nodded.

They didn't drag Yuan Liang into the blame, and readily admitted to this claim.

But the current situation is clearly not right.

Yang Wanli looked into the distance and saw that many restaurants had been cordoned off, and bulldozers were waiting nearby, ready to go.

I'm sorry!

Is this old bastard planning to act first and ask for permission later?

Yang Wanli's expression changed drastically, and a fierce anger blazed in his eyes. The Dafeng Factory incident had just passed, and no one could, and absolutely would not, allow a second mass incident to occur in Luzhou.

Lin Zhiyuan reached out and grabbed him.

"Comrade Yuan Liang."

Lin Zhiyuan's gaze fell on Yi Xuexi, who was surrounded and unable to attend to other matters. "You can bypass this director and issue an order to the cadres on site that not a single piece of land belonging to the people must be damaged, right?"

"I guarantee I will do it."

Yuan Liang affirmed.

His rank was only one level higher than Yi Xuexi's, but his position and power were not the same. Moreover, the High-tech Zone was one of those rebellious sons of Hao County who obeyed orders but not decrees, so there was nothing he couldn't do.

The words had barely left his lips.

Yuan Liang immediately ran to the side and quickly made phone calls to relay the instructions.

"Secretary Wanli, I'm quite interested in Director. Could you please contact the municipal organization department to retrieve his electronic file for me?"

"In addition, we will also retrieve his compensation plan for the demolition of the restaurants and the source of his conflicts with the restaurant owners."

Lin Zhiyuan said calmly.

However, both Yang Wanli and Tian Guofu sensed the dissatisfaction in his words, and their use of "Comrade Director" as a substitute revealed their indifference.

Clearly, they were very dissatisfied with the commotion caused by EasyLearning.

to be frank.

No administrative official would be satisfied with this.
