In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

"In addition to these, our provincial department discovered a total of 423 problems during this comprehensive investigation at the grassroots level."

372 grassroots cadres were held accountable, 222 were transferred to the discipline inspection commission for handling, 1,764 grassroots police officers were given demerits, and 587 were expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office.

In addition to these, the Narcotics Control Team has also discovered a lead on a drug crime, which is currently under investigation!

After listening to Qi Tongwei's report, Chen Luo lit the fire with satisfaction.

"Yes, your public security department has done a good job. Your courage to boldly carry out internal reforms is commendable."

However, we must not be complacent or arrogant, and we must guard against complacency and impetuosity. This cannot be a passing fad; it must be institutionalized, standardized, and systematized to build a law-abiding and civilized public security system in Handong, truly serving the people!

"Secretary Chen, rest assured, our provincial department will conduct such operations regularly!"

"Good! Tongwei, it seems you're quite capable as the Director of the Public Security Bureau. If there's an opportunity, I'll speak up for you at the Standing Committee meeting."

The pie in Chen Luo's picture is right in front of us, and it's real and tangible; it will be delivered.

Hearing Chen Luo's clear statement, Qi Tongwei felt both happy and heartbroken.

He was happy because his work had been recognized and because Chen Luo had given him a crucial vote in his political career.

The bitterness comes from thinking about why I never met a leader like Chen Luo. Indeed, talented people are common, but discerning mentors are rare.

Thinking about the Zhao family label attached to him and the illegal and unethical things he had done in the past, Qi Tongwei took a deep breath. Perhaps it was time for him to seriously consider his future.

With mixed feelings, Qi Tongwei left Chen Luo's office. Watching Qi Tongwei leave, Chen Luo also sighed.

"What a pity..."

Qi Tongwei's problems are serious in some ways, but not so serious in others. Compared to Wu, who lives in Tianjin, a municipality directly under the central government, Qi Tongwei's problems are not really problems at the moment. The key is how the higher-ups will decide.

However, Chen Luo was certain of one thing: it was virtually impossible for Qi Tongwei to be promoted to the vice-provincial level in Handong. It wasn't that he was blocking the way, but rather that it would be impossible for Sha Ruijin to approve it.

Not long after Qi Tongwei left, Chen Luo also got up and started packing his belongings. Before he knew it, it was time to get off work again.

............................................................

In the evening, Chen Luo's home was the same as always, with the couple helping their two children with their homework. Life was peaceful and happy. Meanwhile, not far away, in Villa No. 3 of the Provincial Party Committee compound, Qi Tongwei was visiting Gao Yuliang with some nutritional supplements.

Wu Huifang opened the door.

"Tongwei's here? Come in, come in and sit down. You just said you were coming, why did you bring anything?"

Qi Tongwei smiled and didn't explain. Guided by his teacher's wife, he sat down in the living room, where Gao Yuliang sat opposite him.

"Tongwei, you're here."

"Yes, teacher!"

Hearing the title "teacher" warmed Gao Yuliang's heart. Some people are just loyal and righteous, and that will never change.

"You've been busy with work lately, and I haven't bothered you. It's clear that Secretary Chen Luo has a very clear plan for the work of the political and legal system."

The law enforcement environment in Handong has improved significantly these days. You can't deny getting old, can you?

"When I first stepped down as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I felt uneasy. Now it seems the organization's decision was correct; Secretary Chen Luo is capable of managing the public security, procuratorate, and judicial organs of Handong!"

Gao Yuliang's words were half sincere and half platitudes. Qi Tongwei didn't react at all, but instead went on to talk about the recent achievements of the Public Security Bureau.

After listening to Qi Tongwei's account, Gao Yuliang fell silent.

During his tenure as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, there were still so many loopholes in the political and legal work in Handong...

"Teacher, Secretary Chen is currently supportive of my application to become a vice-provincial level official, but I still feel uncertain about it."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei bring up this topic, Gao Yuliang chimed in, "Secretary Chen is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. If he agrees, the other Standing Committee members of the Provincial Party Committee are unlikely to object. However, Secretary Sha's attitude is not optimistic. He is the top leader, and if he opposes it, Tongwei will likely face a difficult situation!"

"It's okay, teacher. I'm not so obsessed with it anymore. Like you said, how high does an official position have to be to be considered high?"

These days, I've been so busy with work that I feel like my life has finally gained some substance. Whether it's Liang Lu or Gao Xiaoqin from the Shanshui Group, they've only ever used each other.

In the end, he's still all alone.

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's tone, Gao Yuliang frowned immediately. This was a sign that he had suddenly realized something!

This idea is absolutely unacceptable!

"Tongwei, it's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. Your idea is very dangerous!"

Gao Yuliang just watched Qi Tongwei like that, but Qi Tongwei had already seen through it all. The game was never something that a small police chief like him could decide. All he could do was to do his job well.

"Teacher, I'm tired... really tired."

Hearing Qi Tongwei's trembling voice, Gao Yuliang's heart softened.

"Sigh! Never mind, Tongwei, do whatever you want. It's good to rest when you're tired."

Qi Tongwei gave a faint smile and said, "Thank you, teacher. But before I rest, there are some things I need to take care of for you."

Gao Yuliang gave Qi Tongwei a deep look, knowing that Qi Tongwei was referring to his relationship with Gao Xiaofeng.

"good!"

As soon as he left the provincial party committee compound, Qi Tongwei made a phone call to Gao Xiaoqin.

At 9 p.m. in Jingzhou People's Park, Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin were taking a walk on the stone path.

"Director Qi, do you mean to let Xiao Feng go abroad directly?"

Qi Tongwei looked at Gao Xiaoqin and nodded.

"Not only should Xiaofeng leave, but you'd better leave as well. A storm is coming."

Gao Xiaoqin smiled faintly and shook her head.

"Is it that serious?"

"Yes! Although Secretary Chen didn't directly remind me, I understood after he mentioned that my past problems were the responsibility of the Discipline Inspection Commission that some things couldn't be hidden."

That's the truth. If no one was watching Qi Tongwei, Chen Luo would have completely ignored Qi Tongwei's past, since if anything happened, it would be Gao Yuliang's fault anyway.

As long as Qi Tongwei didn't make a mistake while Chen Luo was the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, it had nothing to do with Chen Luo.

It can even demonstrate Chen Luo's skill in managing his subordinates. In Gao Yuliang's hands, Qi Tongwei was doing things that violated discipline and the law, but in Chen Luo's hands, he was Director Qi who served the people.

Chen Luo deliberately mentioned that the problems he had were related to the Discipline Inspection Commission, which was almost an implication that the Discipline Inspection Commission would be watching him.

At that time, Qi Tongwei was only guessing. But after Chen Luo said those things to Zhao Ruilong, Qi Tongwei became certain. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. If the Zhao family falls, he won't be able to escape either.

Struggling?

Looking at Gao Xiaoqin in front of him, and thinking of Liang Lu at home, Qi Tongwei truly felt exhausted...
