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

I just arrived in Handong and haven't had any professional dealings with Secretary Guofu yet. I was planning to visit him in a few days, but unexpectedly, he called me first.

"Governor Dagong, I'm calling you because I have something to tell you."

"Oh? What could be so important to Secretary Guofu?"

"It's about Chen Hai!"

At the sight of Chen Hai, Zhao Dagong, who was sitting in the chair, immediately stood up with a bright look in his eyes.

"Secretary Guofu, I'm listening!"

Zhao Dagong's tone clearly became excited.

"It is like this, Governor Dagong, Chen Hai is suspected of abusing his power and some other issues. He has been taken away by our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation."

The specific situation is as follows..."

After listening to the whole story, Zhao Dagong felt only joy, not curiosity.

"Secretary Guofu, your provincial discipline inspection commission has done a great job!"

We in Handong cannot tolerate such cadres continuing to violate discipline and the law. Just a few days ago, Governor Jianjun assured us that Chen Hai was fine. I think Governor Jianjun's judgment in choosing and appointing people is problematic!

Chen Hai has seriously damaged the image of our Handong cadres. He must be seriously criticized and dealt with at Friday's Standing Committee meeting!

We must continue to purify the work environment for cadres in Handong!

These words stunned Tian Guofu. Dude, how come you, the executive vice governor, have such a domineering tone, even more so than the governor?

Although he was somewhat taken aback, Tian Guofu ultimately showed no emotion.

“Governor Dagong is absolutely right!”

However, Chen Hai is, after all, a cadre in your government system; how to handle him is ultimately up to Governor Jianjun's opinion.

“Governor Jianjun is a good governor, but his judgment in judging and appointing people is not very good. We can just take his opinions into consideration when the time comes, and we don’t need to overinterpret them.”

At this point, Tian Guofu couldn't continue speaking; he could even feel the impending storm through the phone.

"Alright, I'll hang up on Governor Dagong now!"

After hanging up the phone, Tian Guofu smiled and shook his head. Let the provincial government fight amongst themselves; he had no interest in it.

Meanwhile, at Zhao Dagong's home, as he listened to those words, Governor Dagong's longing for Zhou Jianjun's position only intensified.

Inside the detention room of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Chen Hai looked quite tired, especially after several hours of questioning. However, his physical exhaustion did not affect his inner peace after the questioning ended.

Currently, he is free of any trouble.

No longer do I have to face Mao Ya's vicious face, or deal with the mountains of documents piling up in the Bright District every day.

Such days brought him a rare moment of relaxation, and he soon began to snore as he leaned against his single bed.

The provincial discipline inspection commission released the results of the investigation the next day, but Mao Ya denied drugging the girl.

However, there is no way to deny the evidence, so there is no need to test for drug residues in Chen Hai and Wang Dalu's bodies.

Just one glance at the two people's bright red bodies in the video is enough to tell that the drug is very potent.

Some are just watching the show, others are waiting.

A district head position is highly sought after, and even knowing that the problems in Guangming District are very serious, people still flock to apply for it.

People pulled strings, asked favors, and even Li Dakang received requests from below to nominate him at the Standing Committee meeting.

This phenomenon is perfectly normal. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Officials, big and small, are all connected by blood. Right now, we're just waiting for the Standing Committee meeting on Friday.

Time flies, it's Friday morning.

Chen Luo returned to Jingzhou from Lüzhou.

First, as usual, Chen Luo went to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to handle documents. However, while Chen Luo was handling the documents, an unexpected person arrived.

Chapter 247 Zhao Dagong went completely berserk.

"Secretary Chen, Deputy Secretary Huang wants to see you!"

Upon hearing Liu Mingyu's voice, Chen Luo put down the documents in his hand and then calmly said, "Let Deputy Secretary Huang in."

Soon, Huang Ming walked into the office.

As soon as he entered, Huang Ming stood up straight.

Unlike usual, he did not choose to sit down.

Chen Luo looked at Huang Ming and saw that Huang Ming's face was not smiling at all, but full of tension and apprehension.

"Secretary Chen!"

As soon as Huang Ming spoke, Chen Luo knew that he wanted something from him. He chuckled and then pointed to the chair in front of him.

“Huang Ming, sit down and talk about whatever it is. What kind of behavior is it to stand here? You are the president of the High Court or the deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. You don’t need to be so reserved.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Ming took a deep breath before sitting down.

"Secretary Chen, I've come to ask you for a favor."

"Okay, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

"Secretary Chen, regarding Chen Hai's matter, I wonder how the Provincial Committee plans to handle him?"

Chen Luo shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

"This matter is not yet settled, but a vote will be taken at the Standing Committee meeting later."

The meaning is clear: nothing has been decided yet.

“Secretary Chen, I won’t lie to you, Chen Hai is still my brother-in-law after all. Although Chen Yang hasn’t had any contact with him for over ten years, as his brother-in-law, I can’t just stand by and watch my brother-in-law…”

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo understood.

"You want me to say something on his behalf?"

"Secretary Chen, all we need is for Chen Hai to land safely in the end. He's not suited for power struggles..."

"I understand. You want me to remove Chen Hai from the position of district head and move him to a more suitable position?"

What do you think, Department of Justice?

Chen Luo spoke calmly, but Huang Ming was extremely excited; this was exactly what he wanted.

"Secretary Chen, wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

Chen Luo rolled his eyes.

"You knew it would be troublesome, so why did you ask? Even if you asked, I'd still have to think of a way to help you, right? Besides, Chen Hai isn't a bad person at heart."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ming smiled awkwardly.

"Alright, stop standing there. Everything's been said. Now, give me a report on the work of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission during this period."

"Okay! Secretary Chen, recently the Political and Legal Affairs Commission..."

At noon, Huang Ming left.

Watching Huang Ming's departing figure, Chen Luo maintained his warm smile.

The reason for agreeing to Huang Ming's request is quite simple. First, it does not violate principles. If nothing unexpected happens, Governor Zhou Jianjun would not let Chen Hai off the hook. In other words, he would only give him a demerit and transfer him away from the front line.

Furthermore, Huang Ming is usually very conscientious and responsible at work, and he doesn't have any other requirements. If Chen Luo just stands by and does nothing about this, it will inevitably make people feel disheartened.

Shaking his head, he realized that it was already 2:40 PM.

The small meeting room of the Provincial Party Committee.

Everyone had arrived, and only Zhou Jianjun and Sha Ruijin were left to push open the door and enter.

Zhou Jianjun looked rather unwell today. He hadn't been sleeping well for the past few days and knew very well that an attack was imminent.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Jianjun keenly noticed the flame in Zhao Dagong's eyes beside him.

"Comrades, are you all clear about today's topic? The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has now investigated Chen Hai's case and found that he abused his power."

Let's all discuss how to handle this!

Sha Ruijin started the conversation, and Zhou Jianjun was the first to speak.

"I will first submit a self-criticism to the Provincial Party Committee!"

Zhou Jianjun was quite clear that it was better to take the initiative than to wait for others to raise their questions.

"At the last Standing Committee meeting, I assured the Provincial Party Committee that Comrade Chen Hai could not possibly have any corruption issues."

It's true that I didn't think things through, but the main reason is that I haven't been in Handong for long and don't have a thorough understanding of the cadres there.

Of course, Chen Hai's question also taught me a vivid lesson; I still need to further understand the situation of the cadres in Handong!

In just a few words, Zhou Jianjun summarized his problem as a lack of in-depth understanding. Chen Luo and the others watched calmly, the reason being, of course, that someone would make a move!

"Ahem, I disagree with Governor Jianjun's statement."

Governor Jianjun arrived in Handong after Comrade Qi Quansheng and I. If we're talking about understanding the cadres in Handong, Governor Jianjun should have a deeper understanding than we do.

I mentioned at the last Standing Committee meeting that Chen Hai has serious problems and should not be allowed to continue serving as the head of Guangming District. But Governor Jianjun, your attitude is very firm!

Is it so easy to make a promise like that?

Now that the issue has been raised, how can it be convincing to evade it by claiming a lack of in-depth understanding of the cadres?

Just as Zhao Dagong finished speaking, Qi Shisheng took over the conversation.

"For the governor who is building an army, seeking truth from facts is very important!"

Our cadres cannot see their own shortcomings and then try to cover them up with other methods.

Governor Jianjun could simply admit that he had problems with his judgment in choosing and appointing people.

We are all key leaders of the provincial government.

"In the future, we can simply offer more suggestions to Governor Jianjun; there's no need to be so secretive."

Qi Quansheng and Zhao Dagong, working in unison, were trying to set the tone that Zhou Jianjun had problems with his judgment and use of people!

This is the most fatal problem for a leader!
