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

Zhao Dehan and Sun Liancheng had the same concerns.

Guangming District and Jingzhou City can reclaim the land from Shanshui Group today because of Ding Yizhen's corruption.

Tomorrow, any company's land can be reclaimed due to 'historical issues'.

If the stability of the administrative contract is compromised, the remaining developers in Guangming District will immediately be filled with anxiety.

The subsequent recovery of land transfer fees will also face numerous difficulties. The key issue is that once the government's credibility collapses, who will dare to invest here in the future?

"Now, due to the impact of Ding Yizhen's escape and the mass incident at Dafeng Factory, these investors are all in a state of panic and are waiting to see what happens."

"If the Guangming District government does this, I estimate these investors will run away immediately."

Zhou Chuyi did not immediately express his opinion.

He leaned back on the sofa, his fingers interlaced on his knees, his gaze shifting from Zhao Dehan to Sun Liancheng, and then to Cheng Du.

Cheng Du hadn't spoken until now, but when he noticed Zhou Chuyi's gaze, his whole body trembled in fright.

Zhou Chuyi's sharp gaze slowly swept over the three people in front of him. His voice was not loud, but it made all three of them feel a little cold.

"I've listened to your report on the financial problems in Guangming District today, I understand it, and I know how serious the situation is."

Zhou Chuyi spoke in a calm tone, and all three listened attentively.

"Given the current situation, we can take advantage of Ding Yizhen's escape and the Dafeng Factory incident."

"Take your time and follow the procedures to recover the transfer fees that those unscrupulous businessmen colluded with Ding Yizhen to leak out."

"Once this is done, the Guangming District's finances should be fine."

At this point, Zhou Chuyi looked at Sun Liancheng.

"District Chief Sun, I know that Secretary Dakang has put a lot of pressure on you recently."

"Comrade Li Dakang's actions were indeed problematic."

"He is a leader of the municipal party committee and can supervise the investigation and progress of the Shanshui Group case."

"But we cannot bypass disciplinary and judicial procedures and directly instruct lower-level administrative organs to handle judicial disputes through administrative means."

"This practice constitutes illegal interference in the handling of specific cases, which is not permitted by party discipline or administrative regulations."

He glanced at Sun Liancheng and said, "You did the right thing. You could have refused to carry out this order, but you absolutely could not have."

"If Comrade Li Dakang causes you trouble because of this, come directly to me."

"Governor Liu and I will not allow Secretary Dakang to act recklessly, and the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government will not allow him to do so either."

Zhou Chuyi didn't continue speaking, but simply picked up the recorder, his voice a few decibels deeper than before.

"Sun Liancheng, recording this is incredibly audacious and utterly wrong."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​recording?" Zhou Chuyi asked Sun Liancheng in a cold voice.

When Zhou Chuyi asked this question, he glanced at Cheng Du, his eyes looking as if he wanted to stab him.

The look in that eyes sent shivers down his spine; he knew that Governor Zhou thought it was his idea.

But this really wasn't something he did; he didn't even know about it.

Since he handed those things over to Zhao Dehan, he hasn't done anything like that anymore, and he's been behaving very properly for a while now.

We can't let Sun Liancheng's incident lead to him taking off his white shirt, which he just wore.

Thinking of this, Cheng Du looked at Sun Liancheng anxiously.

You need to explain to Governor Zhou right away that this has nothing to do with me.

Sun Liancheng and Zhao Dehan also sensed that Zhou Chuyi's attitude was somewhat off.

"I didn't expect to be recorded either; it was an accident," Sun Liancheng quickly explained.

"That day, I was reprimanded by Secretary Li again, so I went out drinking with Secretary Zhao."

"Secretary Zhao said he brought this recording pen with him at the time..."

At this point, he glanced at Cheng Du, making Cheng Du look somewhat agitated.

"I went to talk to Director Cheng, and then... and then he casually tossed this recording pen to me to play with."

"Yesterday, Secretary Li came to see me again. I thought he was going to yell at me, so on a whim, I turned on the voice recorder in my pocket..."

Zhou Chuyi turned to look at Zhao Dehan, who was standing to the side with a sheepish expression, and asked, "Is this any of your business?"

"Governor Zhou, I... I was just bragging when I was drunk, and I casually gave him that recording pen."

"Who knew, who knew District Chief Sun would actually use him?" Zhao Dehan said somewhat embarrassedly; he really hadn't expected it.

Sun Liancheng probably knew that what he was doing was wrong, and he maintained that slightly forward-leaning posture, but his ears were already red.

"You are the head of Guangming District in Jingzhou City, a provincial-level cadre at the deputy ministerial level, and the administrative head of the Guangming District government."

Zhou Chuyi's voice wasn't loud, but every word was as clear as if carved with a knife: "Comrade Li Dakang's actions are problematic; you don't have to comply."

"You can talk to him about the legal basis, you can submit a written report to your superiors, or you can even come to me in person to report it."

"However, secretly recording conversations of superiors with a voice recorder is the most taboo thing in management."

"Today you're recording Li Dakang, tomorrow are you going to record me? The day after tomorrow are you going to record Secretary Sha?"

Sun Liancheng's face flushed red, his lips moved a few times, and his voice was dry: "Governor Zhou, I didn't mean that... I was just confused for a moment..."

"I know that's not what you meant," Zhou Chuyi interrupted him, "but you did it."

Zhao Dehan quickly interjected, "Governor, Old Sun was forced into this situation. Secretary Li has been putting pressure on him every day lately, and he didn't do it on purpose."

"Forced into learning wiretapping?" Zhou Chuyi's gaze swept over Zhao Dehan, who immediately fell silent.

"Did you learn it from him?" Zhou Chuyi looked at Cheng Du again.

"Boss, no, I haven't had any such thoughts since last time."

Cheng Du was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands. It hadn't been long since he had latched onto a powerful figure, but his police rank and position had all risen.

He dared not leave any more bad impressions on Zhou Chuyi.

After pointing out the extent of the problem and telling him to behave, Zhou Chuyi stared at Sun Liancheng again, saying, "He's really messing around."

"Li Dakang's mistake is his own business. You recording his private conversations is like the director exposing himself." Zhou Chuyi's tone wasn't harsh, but everyone could sense his sternness.

"It's not the first time that those in power have privately exerted pressure, imposed tasks, and shifted blame; it's certainly not the first time in Guanchang, let alone in Handong."

"Li Dakang dared to forcibly allocate a mere 45 million yuan at the Dafeng Factory incident aftermath work meeting."

"Isn't it normal for a district head at the deputy provincial level to be under pressure?"

"You've gone too far by bringing a recording pen into the Party Secretary's office—this isn't leaving evidence, it's leaving leverage against him."

"If this recording gets leaked today, Li Dakang won't even need to wait for the disciplinary committee; he can just accuse you of 'deliberately eavesdropping and framing a leader' and get you fired."

"When you're caught in a dilemma at work, encounter illegal orders, or face unwarranted suppression from superiors, you can report it, ask for instructions, or make excuses."

"You can also refuse according to regulations, or you can appeal at each level; there are countless channels available."

"Recording conversations with superiors as evidence or keeping private records of conversations is a major taboo for managers; it breaks the rules!"

Zhou Chuyi was furious. If this matter were to be exposed, no matter what happened to Li Dakang, Sun Liancheng would be finished.
