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

As they spoke, the two walked into the classroom.

The classroom was clean, tidy, and fully equipped.

Chen Luo glanced around and roughly estimated that there were about forty or fifty students.

Upon entering the classroom, Commissioner Fang's smile turned serious. Standing on the podium, he addressed the students below, "Classmates, we have a new student in our class, Comrade Chen Luo. Please greet and get to know your classmates."

"Yes, Commissioner Fang!"

Chen Luo stood on the podium, his tone very calm.

"Comrades, my name is Chen Luo. I come from Handong. From now on, we will be classmates."

I hope we can all gain something from this study and continue to strive for the great cause of the Party and the people!

Chen Luo's introduction was very brief. All those present were provincial or ministerial level officials, and the lowest-ranking among them were deputy provincial level officials.

The vast majority are either about to take office as ministers or have already taken office as ministers.

Who doesn't know each other's background?

In fact, Chen Luo didn't even need to introduce him. It would be hard for anyone below not to recognize him. He could see familiar faces at a glance, even if they had no prior connection with him.

After the introductions were finished, Tian Guofu and Zhao Dagong applauded first, and the other trainees followed suit.

The simple entrance ceremony was over. Chen Luo was seated in the second row, with Tian Guofu in front of him and Zhao Dagong across the aisle to his right. The three of them were very close together...

The opening ceremony is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. in the school auditorium.

The students in this provincial and ministerial-level advanced training class all entered the auditorium dressed neatly.

On the stage, Chen Luo saw the name of the person in the center: Xu hope, Chen Luo's senior.

Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and President of the Party School.

As the trainees arrived, the leaders who were attending the meeting also arrived one after another. Sitting on the stage, Xu hope's gaze inadvertently fell on Chen Luo. He smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes with a teasing tone.

The opening ceremony was held soon after.

The first part was the principal's speech.

Minister Xu was very concise, only mentioning three main requirements, the first of which was a political requirement.

Trainees are required to calmly read the original texts and study the theories. They must continuously enhance their political judgment, political understanding, and political execution capabilities, and consciously uphold the "two safeguards." They must strictly abide by political discipline and political rules.

The second is the requirement for academic integrity.

The regulations for the management of Party School students are clearly defined: they must study full-time, and are prohibited from engaging in welcoming or sending off guests, going out to eat or drink, or having local cadres visit the school. They must strictly implement the principle of integrity and self-discipline, and regard the Party School as a crucible for tempering Party spirit.

The third requirement is the integration of theory and practice. Trainees are required to bring real-world problems in grassroots governance, anti-corruption and stability maintenance, and economic development to their studies, combining theoretical research with local work, and transforming their learning outcomes into tangible governance achievements after graduation.

As Minister Xu finished speaking, everyone in the audience applauded in unison, the sound like thunder.

Chen Luo originally thought the opening ceremony would be a formality and would be over quickly, but...

As Minister Xu returned to his seat, the vice principal took the microphone and began the second procedure.

A student representative gave a speech!

"Now, please welcome Comrade Chen Luo, the student representative, to the stage to speak!"

Chen Luo was a little confused when his name was suddenly called out.

Her gaze fell on the podium, and she exchanged a glance with her senior. Seeing his teasing smile, what was there left to misunderstand?

"Ugh! This kind of thing!"

With a slight pout, Chen Luo tidied his appearance and then walked straight to the podium.

As I took the microphone, I had already prepared my speech in my mind.

This isn't a difficult thing to do.

The speeches were all similar, mainly emphasizing the importance of cherishing this opportunity for full-time study, focusing on learning all the courses, strictly abiding by school rules and regulations, and persisting in applying teaching methods in practice.

He didn't want to stand out, so his speech was rather conventional.

After the speeches, the opening ceremony came to a close.

There were a total of forty-eight students in the class.

The learning atmosphere was quite good. Chen Luo enjoyed his days at the Party School for several days in a row, and he got to know the other students. This was actually the biggest gain!

However, lying down is out of the question...

Just last night while having dinner, Chen Luo received a decision from the Party School, inviting him to give a lecture on the rule of law to the training class of young and middle-aged cadres.

Trainees gradually become instructors...

The key is that it's not easy to refuse these kinds of requests.

The school's reasons were also quite valid.

During his tenure as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission in Handong, the rule of law environment in Handong underwent a qualitative change.

These are practical legal experiences that trainees in the training program for young and middle-aged cadres rarely have access to.

With the mindset that all lectures are the same, Chen Luo arrived at the school auditorium.

The students attending the lecture were nearly 400 from the 1234th class of the China Youth University. Standing on the stage in the auditorium, Chen Luo remained very calm.

His gaze swept over the young faces below. These were all fresh blood being cultivated by the organization, each between thirty and forty years old, with the youngest being a division-level cadre.

"Good morning, fellow trainees of the training program for young and middle-aged cadres. I am a trainee just like you. Today I am not here to talk about theories or documents, but to talk about principles, bottom lines, and the rule of law!"

The fact that you are all here listening to this lecture shows that you are all outstanding young cadres from your respective provinces, and that you will rise to higher leadership positions in the future, wielding more and more power.

Some people fail to recognize the source of their power, leading them to become arrogant and ultimately turn to illegal and criminal activities.

I hope that all of you will remember that the power you hold is given to you by the Party and the people. The Party and the people have given you this power in the hope that you will use it to serve the people and to revitalize the great nation.

Instead of seeking personal gain!

In summary, it can be done in three sentences!

No matter how smooth your career path is, don't get carried away!

No matter how great the power, it cannot be abused!

No matter how important personal relationships are, you can't break the rules!

Using your power in accordance with laws and regulations is a basic requirement. Below, I will share some specific cases with you. Remember, no matter how high your official rank, if you violate discipline and the law, you will eventually fall from grace!

The lecture lasted for two hours, during which Chen Luo used specific cases from Handong and combined them with practical operations to demonstrate Handong's law enforcement experience to the trainees of the training program for young and middle-aged cadres.

These experiences were all beneficial to the trainees of the training program for young and middle-aged cadres. The upright yet sharp law enforcement practices made them realize that the fact that Handong's legal system was among the best in the country was not just empty talk.

Chapter 390 Visiting Old Jia and Pre-Appointment Talk

From below the stage, Hong Liang watched Chen Luoxin on stage, his heart still pounding uncontrollably.

When it came to the applause, he put in every ounce of energy he had.

As time passed day by day, Chen Luo's studies at the Party School came to an end.

His appointment notice came down last month.

Comrade Chen Luo was appointed as a member, standing committee member, and deputy secretary of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, and nominated as a candidate for governor of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government.

To put it simply, he is the acting governor.

It would be very simple to remove the word "substitute" from the name; it would simply be a matter of electing the People's Congress of Guangdong Province.

After finishing his studies at the Party School, Chen Luo had three days to arrange his own time before heading to Guangdong Province to take up his new post.

For Chen Luo, these three days were still spent visiting some old friends and seniors.

This included Jia Renli's father, Old Jia.

In a hutong near Houhai, the car driven by the director of the Handong Liaison Office in Beijing slowly came to a stop. Chen Luo got out of the back seat, carrying two boxes of exquisitely packaged nutritional supplements.

This is Mr. Jia's home, a relatively secluded courtyard house. As soon as we arrived at the gate, it was opened.

According to the retirement benefits for ministerial-level officials, Mr. Jia was provided with medical care, security, and a driver.

"Secretary Chen, Elder Jia sent me to greet you!"

At this moment, the person responsible for welcoming Chen Luo was the driver who usually accompanied Old Jia.

Chen Luo smiled and nodded, then walked into the courtyard, a typical courtyard house layout that looked antique.

This is a three-courtyard siheyuan. After passing through the front courtyard and arriving at the middle courtyard, the driver had already stopped in front of the main house.

Chen Luo then went inside.

The interior layout is also quite sophisticated.

Several armchairs were arranged on either side. When Chen Luo entered the room, Jia Fugui's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, his gaze becoming deep. He then straightened up from the armchair and stood up.

"Comrade Chen Luo, you've arrived?"

Chen Luo also sized up Jia Fugui. It was rare for someone in his nineties to have such energy and spirit. More importantly, Jia Fugui gave off a refined and gentle demeanor.

"Old Jia, I should have come to visit you much earlier."

But I've been studying at the Party School for a while now, and I'm not allowed to go out freely, so I haven't had much time. Now that my studies are over, I definitely have to come and see you.

As he spoke, Chen Luo placed the gifts he was carrying on the table. Then, the two shook hands, and Chen Luo helped Jia Fugui sit down slowly.

After sitting down, Jia Fugui glanced at the gifts on the table, then smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Comrade Chen Luo, these two boxes of nutritional supplements aren't cheap. Everyone says you never give gifts, so this is quite a first!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo shook his head.

"Mr. Jia, you have been retired for more than 20 years. If you were still in office, I certainly would not have given you such expensive nutritional supplements. Therefore, Mr. Jia, you do not need to refuse."

Besides, although I am a cadre, I am quite wealthy. Putting everything else aside, as long as you are in good health, I can send you gifts every day.

"Haha, I wish my Renli had half of your wisdom."

Jia Fugui's words at this moment were sincere.

"Old Jia, what you're saying is true. Comrade Renli is very individualistic and extremely sincere. He is a cadre like Hai Rui."

"But it's still not as good as your uprightness..."
