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

Hearing Chen Luo say this, Sha Ruijin frowned visibly. Looking at Chen Luo in front of him, he truly found him troublesome.

"Secretary Sha, after all, Director Lü Liang, like Yi Xuexi, has been stuck in the position of division chief for more than ten years."

He finally got the chance to become the bureau chief, but he was kicked out before he could even settle in.

If it were me, I'd probably be heartbroken too.

When Chen Luo mentioned Yi Xuexi, Sha Ruijin understood.

His previously furrowed brows gradually relaxed; it was good that they could talk.

"Comrade Chen Luo, what you said makes a lot of sense. As leading cadres, we cannot let our subordinates feel abandoned by the organization, or let them lose their motivation."

If Comrade Lü Liang is to relinquish his position as bureau chief, then we must make proper arrangements for his future work.

Comrade Chen Luo, do you have any positions you would recommend?

When the conditions were presented to Chen Luo, his smile faded, and after thinking for a moment, he slapped his thigh as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Secretary Sha, there really is a suitable one!"

Comrade Lü Liang has strong Party principles and extensive experience in anti-corruption work. It just so happens that Zhang Shuli, the former secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, was recently dismissed, and Jingzhou has been without a new head of discipline inspection. I think Comrade Lü Liang would be very suitable.

Jingzhou is the provincial capital, and its discipline inspection work requires a principled yet composed cadre, as the work of the discipline inspection commission has a significant impact on economic development.

The downfall of Ding Yizhen caused a huge uproar at the time. Secretary Dakang even complained that several investors had left for the Guangming Peak project. If Lü Liang had been the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, the impact of such an incident would definitely have been minimized!

Sha Ruijin was conflicted after hearing Chen Luo's words.

Originally, his plan was to have someone personally supervise Li Dakang in order to secure the position of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City.

Now that Chen Luo wants to promote Lü Liang, his original plan has fallen through.

However, if he disagreed, Chen Luo might not be willing to let the Zhong family's dagger be stuck in the procuratorate.

Sha Ruijin was unsure whether he could gain any advantage from Chen Luo's words at the Standing Committee meeting, especially since Chen Luo's relationship with Governor Liu was still unclear.

More importantly, Sha Ruijin cannot simply use his position as the provincial party secretary to make decisions.

It's okay occasionally, but if it happens too often, it will get out that he's a feudal patriarch, running a one-man show and not knowing how to unite the team members, which is very dangerous!

Chen Luo wasn't in a hurry and waited for Sha Ruijin to make a decision. About a minute later, Sha Ruijin slowly exhaled and said, "Comrade Chen Luo, I think your recommendation is acceptable. Comrade Lü Liang is indeed capable of serving as the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection."

With the terms agreed upon, both of them relaxed a bit.

"Comrade Chen Luo, I heard you went to the government building to give a report to Governor Liu?"

Upon hearing Sha Ruijin suddenly bring up this matter, Chen Luo smiled and nodded.

"To be honest, Secretary Sha, I did report to Governor Liu this morning along with Qi Tongwei from the Provincial Public Security Department."

The main issue concerns the recent achievements of the public security system and some difficult issues involving the provincial government, requiring Governor Liu's instructions.

Chen Luo wasn't afraid that Sha Ruijin would find out about his relationship with Governor Liu, since it was only a matter of time.

"Give a report? I thought Comrade Chen Luo and Governor Liu were old acquaintances."

"I wouldn't call them old acquaintances, but Governor Liu and Minister Hao Yi of the Ministry of Education are old classmates."

When I spoke with Minister Hao Yi on the phone some time ago about the matter of Handong University, Minister Hao Yi asked me to convey his regards to Governor Liu.

The Political and Legal Affairs Commission has been very busy lately, and I only had a little time and opportunity this morning.

"Old classmate? Oh, I remember now, Minister Hao Yi and Governor Liu are both graduates of Renmin University."

Sha Ruijin quickly realized what was going on, but when Minister Hao Yi was mentioned, Sha Ruijin subconsciously thought of the announcement issued by Peking University in conjunction with 71 other universities. He was from Tsinghua University, and some of his Tsinghua classmates had complained to him about Peking University regarding this matter.

They say Kyoto University is too cunning, secretly doing such a big thing behind Tsinghua University's back, gaining all the credit while Tsinghua University bears all the blame.

Bringing his thoughts back, Sha Ruijin realized that Minister Hao Yi had facilitated the connection between Chen Luo and Governor Liu.

Then I'll just ask my father-in-law about the relationship between Minister Hao Yi and Chen Luo, as well as the relationship between Minister Hao Yi and Governor Liu, and then make an assessment.

"Look, it's already 3:10."

Comrade Chen Luo, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission cannot function without you. Let's end our conversation here for now.

"Yes, Secretary Sha!"

After leaving Sha Ruijin's office, Chen Luo returned to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, took out his phone, and dialed Lü Liang's number from the personnel cadre information sheet of the political and legal system.

Anti-corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate.

After Lü Liang took office as director, the Anti-Corruption Bureau's work was arranged in a truly orderly manner. Lü Liang was busy reviewing documents when he heard his cell phone ring.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a call from an unknown number.

Lü Liang frowned, but still answered the phone.

Working in the anti-corruption bureau, it's possible that some reports against government officials and party members could come through their private mobile phone numbers, so we can't be careless.

"Hello, I am Lü Liang, Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate."

The iconic opening, the loud and clear voice, and the righteous tone made Chen Luo admire Lü Liang even more.

"Comrade Lüliang, this is Chen Luo."

Upon suddenly hearing Chen Luo's voice, Lü Liang was momentarily stunned.

Since taking office as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Lü Liang had tried to report to Chen Luo several times, but his direct superior was Ji Changming. He was not like Chen Haihou Liangping, who did not know the rules. Reporting to a higher-level official was a major taboo in officialdom.

So Lü Liang had been waiting for an opportunity, but before he could even take action, Secretary Chen called.

"It's you, Secretary Chen!"

"Yes, it's me."

Chen Luo spoke calmly, then continued, "Comrade Lü Liang, this number is my private phone number."

You can also call this number if you have any important discoveries to report.

The meaning of this sentence is quite clear: I'm taking over Lüliang.

Even though he was already forty-six years old and no longer young, Lü Liang was still moved by Chen Luo's words.

He was overjoyed and filled with gratitude; this was the benefactor in his life in Lüliang!

"Secretary Chen, I understand!"

Seeing that Lü Liang understood his hint, Chen Luo then continued to present his pie in the sky instead of drawing it.

"Comrade Lü Liang, I'm calling you to tell you that your position as director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau may be taken over by someone else, but that's not necessarily a bad thing."

Upon hearing the first sentence about replacing the person, Lü Liang's heart jumped into his throat, but he calmed down when the next sentence said it wasn't a bad thing.

"Secretary Sha just spoke with me and said he wanted to transfer a top anti-corruption expert from Beijing to Handong to serve as the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

If you ask me what my thoughts are, I support Secretary Sha's idea, but your arrangements also need to be considered.

I said that you and Yi Xuexi, the acting mayor of Luzhou City, have both been working in the position of director-level official for more than ten years, so you are fully capable of being promoted.

It just so happens that the position of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City is still vacant, and I trust your party principles.

I recommended you, Comrade Lü Liang, to Secretary Sha. Are you comfortable with this arrangement? Are you capable of fulfilling your duties as Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?

What could he possibly be unhappy about? A deputy director-general being promoted to director-general! Lü Liang was practically begging Chen Luo to be his godfather... and coincidentally, he also shared the surname Lü.
