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

"It's getting hot, so I think we should suggest that Secretary-General Qian prepare two slices of watermelon when he prepares for the meeting."

If I get thirsty or hungry, I'll just have a slice. Watermelon is cheap; I asked yesterday, and it's 80 cents a pound. The provincial government doesn't need to pay for it; I'll cover the difference myself!

Tian Guofu joked, while Li Dakang retorted, "If the higher-ups knew we were eating watermelon at the Handong Standing Committee meeting, wouldn't they give each of us three lashes on the buttocks until they were bruised and battered?"

"Ahem, keep it low-key, if all else fails, just secretly slip a couple of handfuls of sunflower seeds into your pocket, peel them with your hands, and put them in your mouth without making a sound."

"That's a great idea!"

Joking and laughing along the way, the group arrived at the exit of the provincial party committee building and then went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding this meeting also stirred up waves throughout Handong!

Around 5 p.m., the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the Provincial Publicity Department jointly issued a notice on the formation of a joint investigation team to be stationed in the discipline inspection commissions of various cities and counties in Handong.

The notice clearly states that Handong will form twelve investigation teams, composed of cadres drawn from the General Office, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Publicity Department, the Provincial Public Security Department, the Provincial Procuratorate, the Provincial Higher People's Court, and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office, to thoroughly eliminate corrupt elements within the discipline inspection departments of prefecture-level cities, counties, and government agencies.

This was a powerful blow, and it was done openly, blatantly telling the disciplinary authorities that they were serious and that their will prevailed.

However, some people saw an opportunity.

In the office of the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate, Hou Liangping was sitting in a chair reviewing documents when the door was pushed open, and the Chief Procurator, Ji Changming, entered.

"Quarterly inspection?"

Upon seeing this, Hou Liangping quickly stood up to offer him his seat, but Ji Changming smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.

"Liangping, we have just received a notice jointly issued by the Provincial Party Committee Office and several other departments. The notice calls for the formation of several joint investigation teams to be stationed in the discipline inspection commissions of various cities and counties in Handong to eliminate the corrupt elements within these commissions. This shows great determination."

Similarly, if you can achieve results, your superiors will easily remember you. Liangping, I'm about to retire, and to be honest, you haven't had any outstanding achievements during your time in Handong.

This is an opportunity, and I'd like to recommend you to lead one of the investigation teams. Are you interested?

Hou Liangping was completely stunned.

"Quarterly inspection, what about the work of the anti-corruption bureau?"

"I'll keep an eye on things for you during this time; nothing will go wrong."

"Okay! I'll go then! Thank you for the quarterly inspection!"

"It's alright. I'm retiring soon. This is the last thing I can do for you. Make the most of it."

Strive to stand out. Your superiors know you have ability, and they won't leave you unused when it matters.

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping nodded emphatically!

The same scene unfolded elsewhere. In the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office, Lu Yike also received a notification, but instead of forming one team, she was instructed to form two.

The entire team was assembled in just one weekend. The team was mostly composed of young people who were eager to make a name for themselves. Young people don't care about interpersonal relationships; they only care about results!

On Monday, Chen Luo went to Luzhou as usual.

The industrial park has begun debugging equipment, recruiting talent and workers, and some are even ready to start production. Currently, a total of nine new state-owned enterprise groups have been established, and Luzhou is about to embark on a new chapter in the second half of the year.

Meanwhile, Yuehu University has established 23 research institutes with top-notch equipment, funding, and talent, providing support for the industrial engine that is about to be launched in Luzhou!

On Wednesday, a plane landed at Handong International Airport, where Tian Jingye, the provincial government's secretary and now the incoming mayor of Guangming District, was waiting at the arrival gate.

The crowd filed out, and soon Tian Jingye saw the person he was waiting for.

The man who came was a bald middle-aged man. Despite having a receding hairline, he didn't shave the hair around his head or simply leave it bald. Instead, he kept a few long strands and combed them into the middle to fill the gap.

Tian Jingye and Li Shangli had known each other for a long time, so there was no need for excessive formalities.

"Secretary Li, welcome to Handong!"

Tian Jingye and Li Shangli reached out their hands and shook hands.

"Director Tian, ​​or rather, District Chief Tian, ​​we'll be working together in Guangming District from now on, so we'll have to cooperate well!"

"Of course. By the way, Secretary Li, Governor Jianjun is still waiting for us. We can catch up later. Let's go see Governor Jianjun now!"

"no problem!"

Li Shangli was in high spirits; he had been promoted, and his confidence was off the charts.

Chapter 282 Li Shangli accidentally enters a high-level game

Upon arriving at the airport parking lot, Tian Jingye led Li Shangli to a black Audi. As they approached the car, Li Shangli raised an eyebrow and looked at Tian Jingye.

But Tian Jingye didn't notice the gaze at all. He simply opened the passenger seat and sat down smoothly. At this moment, Li Shangli frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

Li Shangli was a department-level cadre, about to take office as the secretary of Guangming District, but Tian Jingye ignored him and wouldn't open the back door for him.

Tian Jingye, sitting in the passenger seat, was also very dissatisfied. He was, after all, the governor's secretary. Even though he was about to be transferred to the position of district head, it didn't mean he could lower himself to serve Li Shangli, who used to have to be polite to him.

After a minute of this strange atmosphere, Tian Jingye couldn't hold back any longer; Governor Jianjun was waiting for him!

He rolled down the car window and stuck his head out to look at Li Shangli.

He put on a professional fake smile and said, "Secretary Li, is there anything else? If not, please get in the car. Governor Jianjun asked us to arrive at the provincial government by 1 p.m., and we only have half an hour left. We need to hurry."

This reason was so compelling that Li Shangli could only twitch his lips and reach out to open the car door.

After getting in the car, he slammed the door shut with a forceful slam.

He then crossed his legs and, in a superior's tone, instructed, "Comrade Jingye, you can start driving now!"

These words made it sound like he, Tian Jingye, was just a driver. He gave a forced smile, and a shadow of gloom flashed deep in Tian Jingye's eyes, but he remained very magnanimous on the surface.

"Secretary Li, driver, let's go!"

The vehicle started slowly and quickly left the parking lot.

The car was moving at a good speed and soon arrived at the exit. Parking fees need to be paid at the parking lot exit, and generally drivers use mobile payment, which is quite fast.

But the black Lexus in front of Tian Jingye and his group was different. The car stopped at the payment counter for a full minute, and through the car window, Tian Jingye could only see a fairly fair arm paying in cash.

Normally, Tian Jingye could wait patiently, but now he was in a hurry!

After the other party settled the parking fee and started the engine, Tian Jingye gave instructions to the driver.

"Honestate the horn once to urge them on!"

The driver was very obedient and honked the horn without hesitation, but that horn caused trouble. The Lexus car that had already started moving in front of him suddenly stalled and rolled backward.

Although the speed was not fast, the rear of the car still hit the hood of the car that Tian Jingye and his group were riding in with a solid impact.

Now, not only was Tian Jingye gloomy and unhappy, but Li Shangli couldn't hold back either. They still had to rush to the provincial government to see the governor!

Enraged, Tian Jingye simply opened the car door and got out!

He then went to the driver's window of the Lexus in front and started banging on it, shouting angrily, "Are you blind? How do you drive?!"

As he finished speaking, Tian Jingye noticed that the other person was a woman around forty years old, whose temper was somewhat restrained.

But she still snapped, "I'm letting you off easy since you're a woman, but hurry up and drive the car out of the parking lot. Don't block the road, or you'll delay our trip!"

Inside the car, Zhong Xiaoai first breathed a sigh of relief, then her anger surged up.

However, instead of venting her anger, she looked towards the back row.

"Mom, are you alright?"

Sitting in the back row was Zhong Xiaoai's mother. After all, she was quite far along in her pregnancy and needed someone to take care of her. Zhong's mother was worried about her, so she came to Handong with her.

"It's nothing, Xiao Ai, I'm just a little dizzy."

It's alright.

The more Zhong's mother said this, the angrier Zhong Xiao'ai became. If it weren't for the car behind her honking its horn indiscriminately and making her panic, how could they have rolled away and collided?

In this situation, Zhong Xiaoai naturally couldn't tolerate Tian Jingye's feigned magnanimity and unwillingness to hold it against her!

With the car window lowered, Zhong Xiaoai stared intently at Tian Jingye with an icy gaze.

"It's something you can't afford to do!"

Why are you honking your horn for no reason? Are you in a hurry to get home to see your wife give birth? Do you even have a wife?

Do you even know I'm pregnant? It's a good thing you were all scared just now; otherwise, you'd be in deep trouble!

Zhong Xiaoai wasn't going to tolerate Tian Jingye, and of course, they didn't know each other.

Tian Jingye was stunned by Zhong Xiaoai's domineering attitude, but after regaining his senses, he became angrier the more he thought about it.

"You want me to suffer the consequences? I don't want to argue with you since you're a woman, but if you're stubborn, I won't mind teaching you a lesson so you'll remember it!"

"Do you have the ability? It's not that I look down on you, but judging from your clothes, you're a cadre. Just because you're a cadre doesn't mean you can act recklessly! I'm waiting for you to teach me a lesson!"

"Aren't you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Then I'm not leaving!"

Zhong Xiaoai pulled the handbrake, then unlocked the car and pulled out the key, and sat in the driver's seat with her arms wrapped around herself.

"you you you!"

Tian Jingye's face turned red with anger. Had he met his match?

Zhong's mother, sitting in the back row, remained silent. She had heard the conversation clearly and knew that her daughter, Xiao Ai, had done nothing wrong. Of course, more importantly, Zhong's mother knew that Xiao Ai was pregnant and it was normal for her to have a bad temper. It was good for her to vent her anger if she had a reason.

Inside the Audi, seeing Tian Jingye trembling with anger, Li Shangli couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You can't even handle this? I'll have to step in!"

Li Shangli opened the car door and strode up behind Tian Jingye. Without giving Tian Jingye any time to explain, he walked straight to the car window and looked at Zhong Xiaoai with an arrogant gaze.

"Madam, we have very urgent work to attend to right now, please do not obstruct our official duties!"

That gesture was like shooing away flies.

"Obstructing official business? And who are you? What are you pretending for? Just because you're an official doesn't mean you can be so unreasonable."

I'm warning you, none of you will leave here unless you apologize to me!

"Hey! You woman! You've really gone too far!"

Do you know who we are?

"I don't know, I'm not interested, and I'm not afraid!"

Zhong Xiaoai practically yelled it out, venting all the negative emotions she had been suppressing for months on Tian Jingye and Li Shangli. The more she yelled, the more energetic she became.

"Hmph! I've already warned you, lady. I am Li Shangli, the soon-to-be-appointed Vice Mayor of Jingzhou City and Secretary of the Guangming District Committee, a cadre at the ministerial level!"

The man next to me is the soon-to-be-appointed district head of Guangming District, a deputy director-level official!
