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

When Sha Ruijin brought up the issue of the entire cadre team in Handong, no one spoke up.

"It seems that everyone's views are fairly consistent, and there aren't many disagreements."

He looked around, lingering particularly on Governor Liu for a while.

Seeing that he was squinting, as if he were asleep, she continued, "Then I propose that the appointment of these 125 cadres be frozen for now."

"Whether it's the vice-ministerial level officials we intend to recommend to the central government, or the bureau-level officials we intend to promote."

"All cases will be subject to a thorough re-examination in accordance with the procedures for appointing cadres, and a decision will be made only after extensive consultation with the public."

Regardless of everything else, Sha Ruijin put forward his first proposal at his first Standing Committee meeting in Handong.

While saying this, he kept his eyes on Governor Liu and didn't notice the surprised expressions on the faces of the other Standing Committee members.

Sha Ruijin wasn't stupid; he was quite confident that he could forcefully propose freezing the appointments of these 125 cadres.

He and Tian Guofu had already studied this list.

The cadres that the provincial government wanted to promote and appoint had already been approved by the Standing Committee when Comrade Zhao Lichun was still alive.

Most of the people on this list are involved with Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang.

To put it more bluntly, it involves Comrade Zhao Lichun, who went to Yanjing.

His target in coming to Handong was Zhao Lichun, so how could he possibly let this list pass?

The biggest obstacle may come from the provincial government.

In particular, Governor Liu's performance at the Standing Committee meeting just now made Sha Ruijin somewhat uneasy.

But now, seeing that Governor Liu was still squinting and showed no intention of speaking, Sha Ruijin felt a weight lifted from his heart.

As long as Governor Liu doesn't voice his opposition, no one should try to disrupt his first proposal as the newly appointed provincial party secretary.

After he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a long silence.

Everyone was surprised and somewhat bewildered.

These Standing Committee members were somewhat at a loss after Sha Ruijin's sweeping decision.

All 125 appointments of officials at the bureau level or above were cut off with a single stroke?

Is this just a problem involving 125 cadres? Each of them has a long line of people waiting behind them.

Just like Qi Tongwei not being appointed as a deputy provincial governor, the leadership positions in almost the entire Handong public security system are half a level lower than those in other provinces.

Someone instinctively opened their mouth, as if to say something, but found that their throat was blocked by something.

After realizing what had happened, many people looked anxiously at Governor Liu.

Governor, if you're not going to do something about this, go and deal with Sha Ruijin!

Governor Liu said, "Comrade Chu Yi and I had already guessed this situation. If you have any money, just ask us."

If you don't speak up for yourselves, I, Lao Liu, won't care.

"I agree." After a long silence, Li Dakang was the first to speak.

He was just thoroughly beaten by Gao Yuliang and Governor Liu, so now he has no scruples.

He wanted to align himself with the new provincial party secretary. He knew that a partnership with Sha Li was impossible, and it would be best if he could advance further, or at least ensure a smooth landing for himself.

"I agree. Our discipline inspection commission has received a lot of reports, and some of the officials who made these reports are among the 125 officials on the list."

"This list consists of officials at the bureau level or above, who are senior officials in our province. It is of great importance and we cannot be careless."

"If there are problems, we must clarify them first. We cannot promote someone with problems." After Li Dakang made his statement, Tian Guofu immediately followed up.

"Secretary Sha, for cadres with problems, freezing their promotions is acceptable."

"But 125 bureau-level officials are involved, which is too broad a scope."

"Most of our cadres are excellent cadres, and we cannot let the problems of a few individuals affect the whole."

Gao Yuliang had no choice but to speak up; the freezing of the list of 125 cadres would have the biggest impact on him.

Before Zhao Lichun went to Yanjing, the personnel reshuffles and appointments of the other parties were basically completed.

A large portion of the people he and Li Dakang mentioned were on this last batch of lists.

Back then, former Party Secretary Zhao Lichun made a good point: he went to Beijing and nominated Gao Yuliang to be the provincial Party secretary.

When the time comes, Gao Yuliang will preside over the approval of these appointments, which will help him take charge of the government.

Now that the provincial party secretary position is gone, these people's promotions are also over.

However, even when Gao Yuliang spoke up, no one echoed him.

The entire conference room fell silent once again.

When Zhou Chuyi saw Sha Ruijin propose freezing the appointments of these 125 cadres, just like in the TV drama, he showed no reaction on his face.

He didn't look at anyone else, but instead focused his gaze on Minister Wu Chunlin.

This proposal, aside from affecting people like Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang, has other implications.

The person most affected was Wu Chunlin, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

If this proposal is approved, his term as minister will be over.

In the TV series, Wu Chunlin showed no opposition to the suggestion and later even happily sided with Sha Ruijin.

They joined forces with Sha Ruijin and Li Dakang to deal with Gao Yuliang at the Standing Committee meeting.

How could someone who has risen to the position of Minister of the Provincial Party Committee truly lack any political awareness?

Since the new provincial party secretary took office, the appointment of these 125 cadres has been rejected.

That completely negates all your work as Minister of Responsibility. If the higher-ups find out about this, your position as Minister of Responsibility is over.

Don't you have a temper?

Zhou Chuyi looked at Wu Chunlin and silently encouraged him in his heart, "You've just gotten up, don't back down."

Rat poison is going to cut off your future; you can't just sit idly by.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chuyi only saw that Wu Chunlin's face was very ugly, but he didn't dare to speak for a long time.

"Alright, since no one has any other opinions, let's vote directly."

After speaking, Sha Ruijin raised his right hand first.

Tian Guofu and Li Dakang responded immediately.

Minister Wu Chunlin hesitated for a moment with a dark expression, but finally slowly raised his hand under Sha Ruijin's gaze.

As Governor Liu Wenzhong slowly raised his arm, followed by Executive Vice Governor He Zhenhui and Vice Governor Zhou Chuyi, Gao Yuliang's face darkened completely.

His gaze at Governor Liu from behind his glasses was incredibly complex, containing both doubt and scrutiny.

There was also a hint of indescribable helplessness.

He knew that as long as Governor Liu didn't speak up, no one would object to the proposal.

After all, this was the first proposal from the newly appointed provincial party secretary, and according to convention, such proposals are usually just a formality.

Everyone will give the new provincial party secretary face and won't make things difficult for him.

However, this proposal has had a huge impact.

Seeing everyone raise their hands, Gao Yuliang sighed inwardly and raised his right hand as well.

"Okay, unanimously approved." Sha Ruijin's voice was slightly cheerful.

The proposal he cared about most was finally implemented, which made him extremely happy. Fortunately, Governor Liu did not obstruct it.
