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

The two entered the provincial government building and arrived at the entrance to the governor's office on the seventh floor.

dong dong dong...

"Governor, Comrade Chen Hai from Guangming District has arrived."

"Okay, come in."

Secretary Tian opened the door and gestured for Chen Hai to come in. After Chen Hai entered the room, Secretary Tian gently closed the door.

The governor's office was quite large. It was Chen Hai's first time visiting the office of a ministerial-level leader, so he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Comrade Chen Hai, please sit down first."

Upon receiving the instruction, Chen Hai immediately sat up straight in the chair instead of on the sofa.

"Comrade Chen Hai, I know a little about your situation. A year ago, you were the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. As a result, you were demoted to deputy director because of the Ding Yizhen incident. Later, you were dismissed for investigating Secretary Dakang's wife without authorization."

Until a few months ago, you were transferred to Guangming District as district head. To be honest, your work experience has been quite tumultuous.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai immediately stood up.

He said anxiously, "Governor Zhou, the first time I was transferred to the position of deputy director was because I was framed, and the second time was the same..."

Governor Zhou raised his hand, signaling Chen Hai to be quiet for now.

"Whether you were set up or not, I don't care. I just want to ask you one question: do you want to work for the provincial government or listen to Secretary Yi Xuexi?"

That's pretty straightforward!

Chen Hai wasn't stupid, and he said decisively, "Governor Zhou, I have always been a government official!"

"Okay, that's enough. As the district head, you need to supervise Yi Xuexi's work in Guangming District. This Comrade Yi Xuexi is a cadre who was promoted by Secretary Sha of the Provincial Party Committee through special procedures. Such cadres often carry Secretary Sha's label."

If there are any mistakes in this easy-to-learn process, you must report them immediately, understand?

"Understood! Please rest assured, Governor Zhou!"

"Good, Comrade Chen Hai, keep up the good work, I have faith in you!"

Governor Zhou stood up, walked over to Chen Hai, and patted him on the shoulder. In an instant, Chen Hai was filled with strength.

Chen Hai, full of energy, left.

Governor Zhou stood on the balcony, looking at the provincial party committee building across the street, muttering to himself.

"This Chen Hai doesn't seem very bright. Oh well, whether he's smart or not doesn't matter. As long as he can supervise Yi Xuexi, that's fine. After all, he comes from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, so his investigative work should be no problem."

Governor Zhou shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

As Chen Hai walked down the corridor, he was completely unaware that a hidden gaze was fixed on him.

Zhao Dagong's office.

"This Zhou Jianjun has actually set his sights on Chen Hai, the district head of Guangming District? He wants to challenge Sha Ruijin, huh? Good! Let's fight it out so I can fish in troubled waters, right?"

With a smile, Zhao Dagong was already thinking of a solution.

As Chen Hai left the provincial government building, he couldn't contain his joy, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wide smile.

"So you now have a powerful backer?"

Overjoyed, Chen Hai immediately took out his phone and dialed Mao Ya's number.

"Hey, sister-in-law!"

"Don't call me a pervert!"

"Tsk, you're still not home? I'm thinking of celebrating tonight, so come over to my place, okay?"

"I do not!"

"Hmph! I'm not discussing this with you!"

Think carefully before you speak!

"you!"

"I'll be waiting for you at 8 PM! That's all!"

He hung up the phone immediately. At this moment, Chen Hai was incredibly domineering. The feeling of being able to command the wind and rain made Chen Hai extremely excited, and his heart was filled with hope.

In a hotel, Mao Ya was so angry that her face turned red; the events of the previous night were still vivid in her mind.

To her surprise, Chen Hai, that pervert, completely disregarded her wishes, something neither her husband nor Wang Dalu had anticipated.

She's afraid she won't be able to keep going if she has to come again.

But after calming down and thinking about it, it seems to have a unique flavor.

Chapter 234 Luzhou Industrial Park Completed

Just as Mao Ya was hesitating, the phone rang again. She picked it up and saw it was Wang Dalu calling.

"You want one too?"

Mao Ya made no attempt to hide it; she understood men's thoughts all too well.

"What does 'also' mean?"

Wang Dalu on the other end asked a question in return, to which Mao Ya replied very naturally, "Old Yi just called me and said he wanted to celebrate with me tonight, you..."

"It's alright. Since Secretary Yi has a need, then you go ahead and do your work. We're available anytime."

The next second, Darren Wang hung up the phone.

"Ah!"

Mao Ya rolled her eyes. That's just how men are. They call you "sweetie" when they need you, but completely ignore you when they can't have you.

"I originally just wanted to seek some excitement with you, but now it seems you're not even as good as Chen Hai!"

After grumbling for a moment, Mao Ya tidied herself up, then went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Chen Hai's house.

Another stormy night passed, and Yi Xuexi, at home, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, clutching his pillow.

Monday. It's already June, and Chen Luo will have been in Handong for a year in two or three months. Today is Chen Luo's 39th birthday, but he doesn't have time to celebrate it. The reason is that the construction of the Luzhou National Industrial Park was completed yesterday.

Now Luzhou can attract overseas industries to settle in.

At 9:40 a.m. on Monday, Chen Luo arrived in Beijing by plane. After getting off the plane, he was greeted by Director Wu, the director of the Handong Liaison Office in Beijing, whom he had not seen before.

"Secretary Chen, it's a pleasure to see you again!"

Chen Luo smiled and nodded, then got into the car under Director Wu's guidance.

As the car started, Director Wu cautiously inquired.

"Secretary Chen, where should we go first this time?"

"The National Development and Reform Commission!"

"understand!"

Director Wu didn't ask any questions, but just drove very carefully. After an hour's drive, they arrived at the Development and Reform Commission. Director Wu got out of the car and opened the door for Chen Luo. As Chen Luo got out of the car, he took out his phone.

He had made an appointment beforehand.

Only six or seven minutes after the call was made, a group of people came out of the building. Chen Luoke, who was in the lead group, was very familiar with them.

"Director Xu, hello!"

Chen Luo winked at the man walking in front, and Director Xu understood immediately.

"Comrade Chen Luo, the Grand Secretary has already given instructions regarding the Dongsheng matter. All tasks have been successfully completed, and the vast majority of Dongsheng's industries have been successfully transferred back to China."

Watching Chen Luo and a group of bigwigs from the National Development and Reform Commission walk into the building, chatting and laughing, Director Wu was practically ready to shout "Awesome!"

Work certainly couldn't be discussed in the hallway, so Chen Luo's senior alumnus led several deputy directors of the National Development and Reform Commission, along with Chen Luo, directly to a small conference room for a detailed discussion.

"You mean all of Dongsheng's industries were donated to the country free of charge?"

Director Xu was somewhat incredulous, after all, he knew exactly what these industries meant—they represented immeasurable wealth!

Taking a deep breath, Director Xu looked at the deputy directors, who were very sensible and quietly got up and left the meeting room. Soon, only Chen Luo and Director Xu remained in the meeting room.

"Chen Luo, have you thought this through? Your status is already quite high, and these businesses are all the result of your and your husband's hard work in bringing them back to the country. The higher-ups won't play the 'discard the millstone after it has served its purpose' game. If you're donating them for free because you're worried about that, then I can tell you clearly, it's not necessary!"

"Senior, you've been the director of the National Development and Reform Commission for two or three weeks now. To be honest, do you think Zhang Nian and I would care about money?"

Director Xu tapped the table and shook his head.

"I can't say about other things, but you two definitely wouldn't be interested in the money. Although these properties are of enormous value, the funds controlled by Dong Sheng overseas are still astronomical, but..."

"Senior, I am the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City. All these industries will be located in Lüzhou. If Dongsheng and the state jointly hold shares, what do you think of me?"

"Just because of that?"

"That's not the only reason. Also, neither Zhang Nian nor I want to hold controlling stakes in the real economy in China. Dongsheng has always been involved in the financial sector, now and in the future. Except for Yuehu University, where Dongsheng will temporarily retain its shares, Dongsheng is willing to donate all other shares to the country free of charge!"

"Sigh, why am I bothering you? I'm worrying about you for no reason. But donating is fine. The higher-ups aren't deaf or blind. They've recorded all your contributions. I heard your name is on the core training list."

Secretary Xu may not have told you about this.

But you need to be clear about this and work hard!

"Okay, thank you, senior!"

"No need to thank me, I'm thanking you on behalf of the country. By the way, you can't just donate and ask for nothing in return, you have to make some requests, otherwise it will really feel like you're being forced."

"Hahaha, making a request? Sure, I'll say one. The national college entrance examination starts in two days, and Yuehu University wants to recruit students from all over the country, with an estimated fifty places for each province. I hope the higher authorities can promote Yuehu University and give it some policy support. To be honest, the quality of the students determines whether Yuehu University can lay a solid foundation in the future. This is my personal motive, but it can also be considered as serving the people and the country."

"You, you, in the end, it's all for the public good..."

"Fine, just tell me your request."

Chen Luo smiled and nodded.

"By the way, why don't you stay tonight and have dinner and drinks with me?"

Chen Luo felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

"Um... senior, I have to go to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission this afternoon, I don't know if I'll be free tonight..."

"Now, it's lunchtime, let me show you the food served at our National Development and Reform Commission."

Regarding your donation decision and requests, I will report to the Grand Secretary this afternoon.
