Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

Luo Junzhen and Wei Pengnan saluted Zhou Chuyi as soon as they arrived.

Then, Luo Junzhen, on behalf of the Provincial Public Security Department, reported on the department's basic situation in maintaining stability and public order during this period.

Because of Lao Liu, after the report was finished, Zhou Chuyi gave the two of them a little more time and chatted with them.

During the conversation with the two men, it was learned that Luo Junzhen was in charge of public security and traffic management, while Wei Pengnan was in charge of cybersecurity and technology.

These two men are in charge of key functions, which makes Zhou Chuyi even more afraid to underestimate Governor Liu.

Without making a sound, the two deputy directors of the provincial public security department were both on his side, and both held real power.

What about the other departments? How many of Lao Liu's men are there?

Of course, the Provincial Public Security Department also has a Director-General and Deputy Director-General of the Special Operations Bureau, who is at the provincial level and no one dares to win him over.

Zhou Chuyi had a very pleasant conversation with the two men. He knew that Lao Liu was introducing him to some capable people.

Thanks to Lao Liu, I learned about many people and things in Handong that I couldn't learn about on TV.

Through conversation, Zhou Chuyi gained a general understanding of the personalities of the two deputy directors, Luo Junzhen and Wei Pengnan.

However, the two of them didn't seem to be very fond of Qi Tongwei, the director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau.

Logically speaking, since they are all reporting on behalf of the provincial department, we should mention their top leader, the department head.

Anyone with a modicum of sense would probably try to find an excuse for Qi Tongwei's lack of work reporting in front of him.

However, neither of them mentioned Qi Tongwei once, which is quite interesting.

It seems that Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau, is unable to control his subordinates.

Just as Zhou Chuyi was meeting with Luo Junzhen and Wei Pengnan, Qi Tongwei rushed to the government building.

Once I got to the seventh floor, I found Zhou Chuyi's office and headed in that direction.

After walking a few steps, I saw a long queue that stretched all the way to the door of Zhou Chuyi's office.

"That was reckless!" Qi Tongwei quickly stopped in his tracks.

He hadn't made an appointment with any of these people and wasn't on the meeting list for today.

Go straight there; if you fail to get into Zhou Chuyi's office, you'll lose face big time.

Fortunately, the people in line didn't see him.

Qi Tongwei immediately turned around and walked towards the stairwell next to the elevator.

"Hello, Secretary Lin, this is Qi Tongwei from the Provincial Public Security Bureau."

Qi Tongwei went down one floor and only took out his phone on the sixth floor, finding Zhou Chuyi's secretary's number in the internal address book.

"Is it convenient for Governor Zhou to come over now? I'd like to report on the recent work on maintaining public order and stability across the province."

"I'm sorry, Director Qi, Governor Zhou's schedule is already full today, so he may not have time to hear your work report."

On the other end of the phone, Xiaolin's voice was polite but carried a hint of businesslike indifference.

"May I ask Governor Zhou, when are you available recently? Could you help me make an appointment? There are some urgent matters at the Provincial Public Security Bureau." Qi Tongwei's voice sounded somewhat anxious.

"I can't be sure yet. I'll go and report to Governor Zhou."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for Secretary Lin's call."

After Luo Junzhen and Wei Pengnan left, Zhou Chuyi continued to meet with those who came to report on their work.

After only meeting two people, Secretary Kobayashi walked in with a strange expression.

"Boss, Qi Tongwei called and wants to report to you."

When Zhou Chuyi heard that Qi Tongwei was coming, he rubbed his temples slightly.

"Didn't you see how many people are queuing outside? What? He's trying to cut in line? How rude of him!"

Secretary Lin Xiaofeng suppressed a laugh upon hearing this.

With a blank expression, he said that Qi Tongwei wanted to schedule an appointment to report on his work as soon as possible.

Zhou Chuyi ignored Qi Tongwei's appointment request and instead asked Xiaolin, "Can we finish seeing them today?"

"We won't be able to meet everyone by tomorrow." Kobayashi flipped through the list in his hand.

"Goodbye for today. For those scheduled after tomorrow, have them organize their reports. I'll take a look when I have time."

"Tell them that since I am new to Handong, Governor Liu has arranged for me to go down there to conduct research and familiarize myself with the situation. I will leave the day after tomorrow."

Having been with Zhou Chuyi for so long, Xiao Lin knew that Zhou Chuyi had seen all the people he needed to see and wanted to find some peace and quiet.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements with the government office."

Although this wasn't the official work schedule, since the leader needed to conduct research, he, as the secretary, had to make the necessary arrangements.

After listening to Zhou Chuyi's instructions, Lin Xiaofeng walked out of the office and let the next person to report in.

He took out his phone and called Qi Tongwei.

"Hello, Director Qi, this is Lin Xiaofeng from the Third Secretariat of the Government Office."

"Secretary Lin, hello, what about Governor Zhou...?"

Qi Tongwei eagerly asked Zhou Chuyi if he had arranged to hear his work report.

Zhou Chuyi didn't mention Qi Tongwei at all, but Lin Xiaofeng knew how to arrange it.

"I'm sorry, Director Qi, Governor Zhou's schedule is fully booked today and tomorrow."

"As arranged by Governor Liu, Governor Zhou will lead a team to conduct research at the grassroots level starting the day after tomorrow."

"I will be visiting various cities and prefectures in the near future, and the exact time of my return is still uncertain."

"Therefore, your work report may have to wait until Governor Zhou returns to Jingzhou before we can arrange it."

Lin Xiaofeng did not tell him that someone had already reported on his work at the Public Security Bureau.

I wonder what Qi Tongwei will think after he hears this news.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei had a complicated expression; he wasn't stupid.

Although Secretary Lin spoke very politely, he still sensed that Zhou Chuyi didn't seem to value him, the director of the provincial public security bureau, very much.

It's important to know that the Public Security Bureau carries significant weight in the areas under Zhou Chuyi's jurisdiction.

In the morning, the top leaders in each field had already reported on their work.

When he went to report on his work in the afternoon, many people had to be very polite to Qi Tongwei, nodding and bowing respectfully.

But because of these people, Qi Tongwei's reporting time was canceled.

For a moment, Qi Tongwei felt a mix of emotions.

He returned to Gao Yuliang's office and recounted the situation at the government building, as well as what Secretary Lin had said.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang remained silent for a long time, then sighed deeply, his eyes filled with helplessness and worry.

"That's enough." Gao Yuliang said slowly, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"You are closely monitoring Governor Zhou's research itinerary."

"The moment he returns from his research trip, you should immediately go to his office to report on your work."

"You must maintain a proper attitude and be courteous. You absolutely cannot leave any negative impressions or make any mistakes."

"Also, you need to be more diligent in your work at the hall recently. Don't go to the Mountain and Water Manor."

"I understand, teacher," Qi Tongwei replied in a low voice, his heart filled with unease.

......

"Hey, why aren't you off work yet?" Xiao Lin had just seen off the last person who reported to him today, and it was already dark when his wife, Sun Huayu, called.

"I'm leaving get off work now; too many people came to report on their work today."

"What? You cooked? How about we eat out?"

"No, no, I don't mind at all. Okay, okay, I'll eat it and be right back."

After a long day, Zhou Chuyi was overjoyed to hear that his wife had cooked for him.

"Xiao Lin, I heard there's a place selling jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) in that alley next to the government compound?"

"Shall we go try it together?"

Lin Xiaofeng also heard the phone call and nodded firmly upon hearing Zhou Chuyi's arrangements.
