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

not good!

The two of them had the same idea at the same time.

Sha Ruijin heard Yi Xuexi's name again, while Tian Guofu saw him through a gap in the crowd as Yi Xuexi, who was once again surrounded by people, and called out:

"Secretary Tian!"

This call caused the restaurant owners and the crowd that had been blocking the way to turn around. Their eyes lit up, and many recognized him and gathered around the four men.

"Are you Secretary Tian, ​​who came here with Secretary Yang?"

The crowd, their expressions fervent, cried out, "We heard you're the leader in charge of discipline inspection! We want to report... report that Yi Xuexi, the deputy director of the Luzhou Development Zone, took advantage of Secretary Yang's absence to embezzle funds, break the law, and solicit bribes!"

Tian Guofu closed his eyes wearily.

He knew all along that Yi Xuexi had no real ability other than being a drudge. So why did things that were well-planned and even guaranteed by the municipal party secretary still cause problems to arise a second time in his hands?

"Please be quiet, everyone. I just arrived in Luzhou myself."

Tian Guofu raised his hands to block Sha Ruijin, preventing the enraged citizens of Luzhou from taking any extreme actions. "Comrade Yi Xuexi, please explain to me the cause of today's conflict."

"Don't say less, omit anything, or talk nonsense."

Tian Guofu lectured him in a serious and methodical manner.

As the secretary who spoke three times, he understood better than anyone the power of language to kill, and he repeatedly demanded, "Secretary Sha is here today, you must tell the truth clearly and make things clear."

"And since Secretary Yang is abroad on official business, why are you now in charge of coordinating with Lakeside Catering?"

"Where is Zhou Yuyang, the newly appointed director and district party secretary?"

"I…"

Yi Xuexi looked up at Sha Ruijin standing behind him, his face contorted with misery before burying itself back down: "Secretary Tian, ​​Director Zhou and Secretary Yang went on a business trip together. Executive Yuan is currently burdened with the work of both the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government and is unable to spare any time. Vice Mayor Qi Yuanfang, who is in charge of environmental protection, has no engineering experience, so this task has been assigned to me."

Tian Guofu had a headache.

It seems there's some kind of curse on Luzhou, because no matter what you do, you can't get around Yi Xuexi.

With Yang Wanli's perfect answer in reassuring the people preceding him, he couldn't afford to be bad.

Otherwise, everyone will compare them.

Once the difference between the two is clear, how can he, as the provincial discipline inspection commission official, possibly save face?

Wherein lies the conflict between the government's work and the people's interests?

Tian Guofu continued to ask.

Since leaving Lincheng, I haven't worked for the municipal party committee and government for many years. I feel a bit unfamiliar with asking questions about specific project implementations, but this feeling is also very good, and my confidence has increased.

"That's right, Secretary Tian."

Yi Xuexi, forcing a smile, replied, "The municipal government and restaurant owners had agreed that the government would bear most of the cost of the sewage pipe construction, and the owners would pay a portion. However, the development zone's budget for this year is almost exhausted, and the municipal government's funds haven't come through yet. So I want to renegotiate with the owners and ask them to pay ten years' worth of installation and usage fees in one lump sum."

"That's why this conflict arose."

Tian Guofu turned his gaze to the restaurant owners, and many of them nodded.

"Secretary Tian, ​​it's not that we're unwilling to pay."

Someone immediately raised their hand and said, "But paying for ten years at once is too much. The costs of Crescent Lake are already quite high. We usually only earn a meager living. Paying so much at once puts a lot of pressure on us."

"right!"

"Too many!"

The bustling crowd erupted into a cacophony of noise.

"I see."

Tian Guofu nodded, but did not immediately express any opinion. He was not a member of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee, so he could give guidance but not orders. Therefore, he turned to ask his boss for his opinion.

Sha Ruijin nodded.

There's definitely no one in charge of Crescent Lake right now. Just in case, it's better to let Tian Guofu handle things quickly and decisively to avoid any mass incidents.

I thought of this word.

Sha Ruijin shuddered.

The last mass incident already sent his beloved adoptive father to jail.

"Alright!"

"Comrade Yi Xuexi, in my capacity as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, I am issuing you relevant instructions and opinions regarding the issue of cost sharing for sewage pipes and equipment of restaurants along Crescent Lake:"

First, urge the municipal government to complete the approval process for the special funds as soon as possible;

Second, the ten-year fee collection plan should be promptly revoked, and relevant adjustments should be made after fully considering the actual operating conditions of catering businesses.

Third, in response to the difficulties some business operators have in paying their fees, we will coordinate with banks to approve relevant loans and subsequent repayments.

Fourth, ensure that the operational process is clean and transparent;

The premise of all actions is to ensure the selection of suitable locations that balance human well-being with nature and economic development. Please, Comrade Yi Xuexi, submit my guidance to the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government so that a sound decision can be made as soon as possible to resolve the issues related to Crescent Lake.

As Tian Guofu spoke, he became more and more fluent, his face glowing with health, as if he had rediscovered the boundless pride he had felt when he was in charge of a region.

"Yes, Secretary Tian!"

Yi Xuexi nodded.

With a smile on his lips, Tian Guofu watched as Yi Xuexi, under his guidance, negotiated with restaurant owners round after round, summarizing reliable and feasible cost plans, and received grateful looks from the restaurant owners. He felt extremely pleased, as if he had eaten ice cream on a hot summer day.

Hey!

Lin Zhiyuan and Yang Wanli's approach doesn't seem that difficult. It's just a matter of listing out the good points one by one, showing the good side to the people, and actually doing everything that needs to be done. I'll play the good guy, and then the bad guy will be chosen.

Thinking of this.

Tian Guofu's enthusiasm grew, and he gained a clearer understanding of his future career path.

He certainly wouldn't let go of the position of the third-ranking official in the provincial government, but given the current situation where many provincial third-ranking officials concurrently hold second-ranking positions, it would be too weak for him.

The position of provincial discipline inspection commission secretary is too special to be held concurrently by a provincial third-level official.

That would also work, such as the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City.

In any case, Li Dakang, as a remnant of the Zhao faction, is someone who must be eliminated.

If this succeeds, he can step out of the single disciplinary inspection system and make up for the shortcomings he had when he was the secretary of the Lincheng Municipal Party Committee.

It's practically a perfect career path!

"What is Secretary Guo Fu thinking, that makes him so happy?"

Sha Ruijin's voice suddenly rang out from beside him, like a ghost.

"It's truly gratifying to see that Comrade Yi Xuexi was able to solve the problem!"

Tian Guofu lies without thinking.

Sha Ruijin glanced at him speechlessly; he was so good at deceiving others that he even deceived himself.

"Secretary Tian, ​​I have submitted the new version of the plan, which was completed under your guidance, to Mayor Yuan."

Yi Xuexi stepped forward to report to the instructor.

Then he looked at Sha Ruijin beside him, a warm smile spreading across his resolute and honest face. He extended his hand and said, "You must be Secretary Sha?"

"Comrade Yi Xuexi, I've heard so much about you!"
