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

He then turned to his secretary, "Xiao Tang, shouldn't we be heading to Courtyard No. 7?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Tang hesitated for a moment.

“Well… Secretary Qin, according to usual practice you should live in Courtyard No. 7, but a few days ago when Secretary Chen moved, Secretary Tian from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection said that it was necessary to show the importance that Handongfang attaches to you, Secretary Qin. Therefore, Secretary Tian moved to Courtyard No. 7 and left Courtyard No. 5 for you.”

In theory, Qin Siyuan should have gotten the better deal, but what about in reality? You can get a glimpse of that from the extremely unpleasant look on Qin Siyuan's face at this moment.

Meanwhile, in Courtyard No. 7, Tian Guofu stood in his study, gently inhaling the lingering scent of ink. The wonderful feeling brought a smile to his face.

"Great! They say dragons dwell in dragon lairs and snakes in snake caves. The courtyard that Chen Shuji remembers is different. As soon as I entered, I felt refreshed. Unlike Courtyard No. 5, which is cold and deserted. If you didn't know better, you would think it was where dead people lived!"

Pshaw, isn't that insulting myself?

Fine, let them curse me if they want..."

Tian Guofu was very happy, but Qin Siyuan was not.

Pushing open the door, Qin Siyuan looked at the empty room. Although it was clean and tidy, he still felt it was not as good as No. 7 Courtyard. Could he change it back?

Chapter 346 The Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Court Pass the Buck Between Each Other

Just as Qin Siyuan was feeling depressed, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Minister Jiang calling.

"Hello, Minister Jiang!"

“Brother Siyuan, it’s not working time now, so there’s no need to follow work etiquette. In a few months, when the kids get engaged, we’ll be in-laws.”

I'm calling to let you know I'm back in Beijing. It seems Sha Ruijin and the others in Handong don't treat me very well. I used to hear people say Handong was domineering, but I didn't believe it. Now I've seen and heard it with my own eyes and ears. Siyuan, my dear brother, your work might be difficult!"

Qin Siyuan curled his lip. Who else can be blamed for this?

"Minister Jiang, as long as the work is handled in accordance with the law and regulations, I believe that my comrades in Handong will not make things too difficult for me."

"I hope so... You're not very familiar with Handong. If you need to, you can talk to Qian Zhiming. He's one of my old subordinates, one of my own, understand?"

"Understood, understood!"

The night passed quickly. Qin Siyuan didn't sleep well in Courtyard No. 5 last night. He felt a sense of gloom and it was hard to describe the feeling.

At 8 a.m., Qin Siyuan, with dark circles under his eyes, walked out of the gate. His driver and secretary were already waiting. After getting into the car, Qin Siyuan went straight to the provincial party committee building.

At 8:30 a.m., Qin Siyuan arrived at the Provincial Party Committee, pushed open the door to the office of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, sat in his own chair, and gave his first instruction.

"Xiao Tang, last night I asked you to notify the comrades from the Procuratorate, the High Court, the Provincial Public Security Department, and the Provincial Department of Justice to meet and have a meeting. How did the arrangements go?"

Seeing his secretary making tea, Qin Siyuan inquired about the progress of the work. Secretary Tang turned around and replied with a smile, "Secretary Qin, I have already notified the procuratorate, the high court, and the provincial public security department of the work you assigned."

Chief Prosecutor Lin from the Procuratorate and Deputy Secretary Huang from the High Court will arrive a little earlier, while Vice Governor Yun from the Provincial Public Security Department might be late; the Provincial Public Security Department has a meeting in the morning, I think.

Upon hearing this, Qin Siyuan nodded. Before taking office in Handong, he had already learned about the situation in Handong, especially the political and legal system.

The heads of the Provincial Public Security Department, the Provincial Procuratorate, and the Provincial High Court are all at the vice-provincial level, just like him. Most importantly, they are all Chen Luo's people.

Of course, Qin Siyuan was not worried about this problem, since even if the other party was uncooperative, they could not possibly violate discipline or the law.

All he needs to do is quietly accumulate local work experience; in short, he shouldn't cause trouble.

At 9:30 a.m., there was a knock on Qin Siyuan's office door. "Hello, Secretary Qin, this is Lin Guoping from the Procuratorate!"

"Comrade Guoping, please come in!"

After saying that, the door was pushed open, and Lin Guoping entered with a faint smile, his gaze falling on Qin Siyuan.

My first impression of Qin Siyuan was that he was a bit slick and calculating, which was based solely on his appearance.

"Comrade Guoping, please have a seat!"

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Qin!"

Lin Guoping didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly on the sofa opposite Qin Siyuan, then looked around.

"Secretary Qin, did you call us here to give us some work instructions?"

Lin Guoping got straight to the point, not wanting to waste his time. He had a lot of work to do at the procuratorate, and he had no time to waste chatting with Qin Siyuan.

"Ahem, Comrade Guoping, there's no rush with work. I've just arrived in Handong and I'm not very familiar with everyone yet. I'd like to take this opportunity to get to know you all first, which will make things easier for us in the future."

"Xiao Tang, pour some tea for Chief Prosecutor Lin!"

After speaking, Qin Siyuan looked at his secretary, Xiao Tang, who was also very good at reading people's expressions. With a polite smile, she came to Lin Guoping and poured him tea and water.

dong dong dong...

There was another knock on the door.

"Secretary Qin, may I come in? I'm Yun Haifeng!"

"Director Yun is here? Please come in!"

The door was pushed open, and it wasn't just Yun Haifeng who came in; Huang Ming, with a calm expression, also arrived.

"Oh? Comrade Huang Ming is here too?"

"I just met Director Yun downstairs, so we came up together."

Huang Ming explained, and then the two sat down. Qin Siyuan's secretary poured tea for them and then quietly left the office.

Now there are only four of them left in the office.

To be honest, Qin Siyuan was a little nervous...

"Comrade Huang Ming, Comrade Hai Feng, Comrade Guo Ping, it's inevitable that I'm a little nervous at our first meeting."

Having worked in ministries for a long time, I am not very familiar with local work. The political and legal work in Handong also requires the concerted efforts of all three comrades.

Upon hearing this, Lin Guoping, Huang Ming, and Yun Haifeng exchanged glances, their eyes filled with smiles.

"Secretary Qin, let me say a few words first. As far as the work of the High Court is concerned, according to the instructions of Secretary Chen when he was in office, our High Court has basically eliminated the corrupt elements in the court team and is carrying out its work in accordance with laws and regulations in an all-round way."

Of course, this doesn't mean the High Court is without problems; it's just that none have been discovered yet. Secretary Qin could focus his efforts on the Provincial Public Security Department and the Provincial Procuratorate for now.

No sooner had Huang Ming finished speaking than Yun Haifeng chimed in.

"Deputy Secretary Huang, it's true that the court's work is currently fine, but our provincial department's work is just as good!"

In this year, how many crimes have been cracked down on? Countless bad apples have also been eliminated. Currently, the province's public security team is among the best in the country in terms of both work enthusiasm and efficiency!

I think Secretary Qin could start by providing guidance to the Provincial Procuratorate.

Upon hearing this, Lin Guoping rolled his eyes. Although he was honest, he wasn't stupid. This was just passing the buck!

"Ahem, Comrade Haifeng, our provincial procuratorate has indeed not purged so many bad apples, but it has also achieved considerable results in its work. The previous procurator general, Comrade Ji Changming, had a very similar work direction to Secretary Chen, so there are no major problems with the work of the procuratorate!"

"Secretary Qin, why don't you start with the Department of Justice? When Secretary Chen was in charge, he didn't provide much guidance to the Department of Justice; it's a blank area. What do you say, Secretary Qin?"

Qin Siyuan was extremely embarrassed at this moment. How could he not understand the hidden meaning in the words of the three people in front of him?

What does it mean to start from the Department of Justice?

Similarly, Huang Ming, Yun Haifeng, and Lin Guoping were all not particularly fond of Qin Siyuan, this guy who had just arrived out of nowhere.

The provincial political and legal affairs secretary only has the power to guide and supervise the public security, procuratorate, court and judicial organs. Not every newly appointed political and legal affairs secretary can command these three entities as easily as Chen Luo!

Chapter 347 Qin Siyuan, constantly hitting roadblocks

Furthermore, the fact that all three of them were able to secure their positions as top leaders is more or less related to Chen Luo, and that's the key point!

Qin Siyuan's idea of ​​commanding the three of them right away was wishful thinking; no one wanted to relinquish their power.

"Comrades Guoping, Huang Ming, and Haifeng, as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I have the right to supervise and guide the political and legal work throughout the province. Regardless of whether you three cooperate or not, my work will proceed!"

That was a tough talk, but it didn't work...

If the three of them hadn't yet reached the vice-provincial level, they might have been a little apprehensive, but now all three are vice-provincial level.

Qin Siyuan no longer poses any threat to them. If they want to continue moving up the ranks, that will be decided by Zhongyang. Qin Siyuan's obstruction will have a negligible effect.

To put it bluntly, the three of them have become too powerful!

"Secretary Qin, our provincial department is quite busy. All the police officers in the province are waiting for me to take charge. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"

Yun Haifeng was the first to stand up.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Ming smiled and looked at Qin Siyuan, "Secretary Qin, I also have a meeting to attend later. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Finally, only Lin Guoping remained, frowning. After thinking it over again and again, he finally spoke up: "Secretary Qin, if there are no other work arrangements, I'll be leaving now."

There wasn't even an excuse...

Without waiting for Qin Siyuan's consent, the three of them got up, opened the office door, and left in a carefree manner.

Qin Siyuan trembled all over at the sight, overwhelmed by the feeling of being humiliated.

"Outrageous! Is this what the cadres in Handong are like? Are they all so lawless?"

With his chest heaving, Qin Siyuan was furious.

I may be angry, but I still have to get the work done...

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chen Luo returned to Jingzhou from Lüzhou in the morning. Now that he is also serving as the deputy secretary, his time allocation has also changed.

Previously, I would handle the work of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission in Jingzhou from Friday to Sunday. Now, the workload of the deputy secretary has increased significantly, so I can only spare a little more time.

2:40 PM, in the small conference room of the Provincial Party Committee.

Today's Standing Committee meeting has a simple agenda: filling the gaps. Recently, too many officials in Handong have fallen from grace. Although most of them were promoted from deputy positions, there are still some important positions without suitable candidates, such as the Party Secretary of Guangming District in Jingzhou City!

There are also some systemic corruption cases that are difficult to rectify. For example, in the grain bureau, both the director and deputy director were taken away by the provincial discipline inspection commission. Even some directors of municipal grain bureaus were brought down. To fill these positions, they can only be transferred from other departments.

Upon entering the conference room, Chen Luo's seating arrangement had changed; the central seat was now occupied by Secretary Sha Ruijin.

On both sides of the first row, one is Governor Zhou Jianjun, and the other has now been changed to his name.

Sitting in the deputy secretary's seat, there was only one person beside him, Wu Chunlin, who was sitting in the second row.

"Secretary Chen, how are you feeling?"

Wu Chunlin raised an eyebrow, his tone full of teasing. Chen Luo, of course, understood what Wu Chunlin meant, and smiled as he pointed to his shoulder, "With boundless glory comes boundless responsibility!"

"Hahaha! I want this kind of responsibility too!"

"That's right, from now on we can't call him Comrade Chen Luo anymore, we have to call him Secretary Chen!"
