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

However, when He Jun, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, gave his report, Chen Luo visibly frowned.

The reason is simple: other mayors and department heads reported on their work with accurate data, clearly stating their achievements and the difficulties they faced. However, this Department Head He only talked about how remarkable his work results were, without mentioning any existing problems.

Chen Luo didn't believe that the public security in Guangdong Province could be that good; after all, he had done his homework on some aspects beforehand.

"Excuse me! Comrade He Jun, is it really true that there are no difficulties or problems in the province's public security work?"

Chen Luo's tone was somewhat cold, while He Jun was taken aback for a moment before looking up at Chen Luo.

"Governor Chen, it's normal that you're unfamiliar with the security situation in Guangdong Province since you've just arrived. Our provincial department has done a very good job, and there are no major problems!"

The implication was that they did not want Chen Luo to interfere in the province's public security work.

Chen Luo was so angry he laughed.

He did not choose to argue, but instead stared at He Jun with a deep gaze, his mind completely at ease.

The meeting lasted three hours. After the meeting, in the governor's office, Chen Luo sat in the main seat, with Executive Vice Governor Tang Ning and Standing Committee Vice Governor Qiu Kai opposite him.

"Comrades Tang Ning and Qiu Kai, what are your thoughts on He Jun, the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department?"

Chen Luo did not choose to beat around the bush.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ning and Qiu Kai exchanged a glance.

Then Tang Ning sighed first and said, "Governor Chen, Comrade He Jun's situation is somewhat special."

Eight years ago, Secretary Yu Xiangbei was the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Comrade He Jun had a very close relationship with Secretary Yu.

Comrade He Jun's wife is the cousin of Secretary Yu's wife. Eight years ago, Secretary Yu transferred He Jun to serve as the executive deputy director of the provincial department. Four years ago, when Secretary Yu served as deputy secretary and secretary of the political and legal affairs committee, he once again proposed that Comrade He Jun serve as the director of the provincial public security department.

Two years ago, when Secretary Yu stepped down from his position as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he nominated Comrade He Jun at the Standing Committee meeting to serve as a member of the Provincial Government Party Group and Vice Governor, in charge of public security work.

The former provincial governor had always disagreed…

"Yes, in the past two years, Secretary Yu has mentioned at the Standing Committee meeting no less than ten times that he wanted Comrade He Jun to be promoted to vice governor, but the old governor has always refused."

After Standing Committee member and Vice Governor Qiu Kai finished speaking, both men looked intently at Chen Luo.

"No wonder Comrade He Jun is so arrogant; it turns out he has Comrade Xiang Bei as his backer."

By the way, Comrade Tang Ning, Comrade Qiu Kai, how is Director He doing in his work?

"Alas! Governor Chen, it's a long story!"

"Yes, Comrade He Jun himself did not become the vice governor, but relying on his relationship with Secretary Yu, he completely ignored the work instructions of Vice Governor Tang, who was in charge of public security. He almost treated the Provincial Public Security Department as his personal fiefdom. The key issue is that he did not keep up with the work!"

In recent years, the public security environment in the province has deteriorated sharply, and the former governor has also mentioned replacing He Jun.

But every time before the meeting even started, Secretary Yu would call to plead for leniency.

They said Comrade He Jun would change.

"We've been revising it for two years, and it's still not any better!"

"Governor Chen, it's not that we're slandering Comrade He Jun behind his back, but rather that his actions are indeed very egregious."

His work attitude is extremely improper; he's holding the provincial government's bowl while smashing the people's pots, if only he could.

We hope that Governor Chen will propose at the meeting that He Jun be removed!

Chen Luo did not agree immediately.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Comrade Tang Ning, Comrade Qiu Kai, I understand your opinions. However, I have just arrived in Guangdong Province and am not very familiar with the work of the comrades below. So, I will have Comrade He Jun report on the work later."

Let's see the specifics. If it's really as you say, then even if you didn't mention it, I would still call Secretary Aiming and replace all these lazy cadres!

After saying that, Chen Luo changed the subject again!

"However, Comrade Tang Ning, Comrade Qiu Kai, and Comrade Xiang Bei are all sixty years old this year. According to the retirement regulations for deputy provincial-level cadres, Comrade Xiang Bei will retire in two more years."

Opportunities are for those who are prepared. You've been working in the provincial government for several years now; it's time for a change of scenery.

These words shocked Tang Ning and Qiu Kai!

"Governor Chen, what do you mean?"

"I have a habit of having a great liking for comrades who are conscientious and responsible in their work and have strong principles, and I am willing to recommend such comrades to the organization for important positions!"

On the day I arrived in Guangdong Province, on the plane, Minister Xu joked with me, saying that it was very rare to find cadres who were principled and conscientious in their work in recent years, and that I should try to find some in Guangdong Province.

I've got this task firmly in mind!

After he said that, Tang Ning and Qiu Kai's eyes lit up!

"Governor Chen, please rest assured, Comrade Qiu Kai and I will definitely carry out your work instructions conscientiously, serve the people wholeheartedly, and never compromise on anything!"

"Okay! I believe you!"

Chen Luo smiled and then said, "You two comrades, go back to work first and summarize the government's work over the past few years. Let me sort it out."

"Yes, Governor Chen!"

Tang Ning and Qiu Kai left.

Chen Luo only smiled after the office door was closed.

"It seems that He Jun has offended quite a few people..."

It's obvious that Tang Ning and Qiu Kai are both very unhappy with He Jun, otherwise they wouldn't have made veiled accusations, even if they were true!

At 3 p.m. sharp, He Jun arrived at the entrance of the governor's office.

Knock, knock, knock, He Jun began knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, He Jun went inside.

"Sit down and talk, Comrade He Jun."

Only after sitting down did He Jun speak: "Governor Chen, I heard from Director Xu that you wanted to see me?"

Chen Luo did not answer. He was holding a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" in his hands. After hearing He Jun's question, he slowly put down the history book.

"Comrade He Jun, do you know anything about history?"

This puzzling question left He Jun momentarily stunned.

"Governor Chen, I know a little about this!"

Chen Luo nodded, then continued, "I just watched some local online videos."

I saw an interesting comment!

[In the Western Regions dwell barbarians, with white eyes and black skin, their bodies reeking of filth. They are unintelligent and violent, possessing human form but no human heart, and are difficult to sway with virtue. They fear power but not morality; they must be herded and controlled.]

Some say it comes from the Zizhi Tongjian, while others say it comes from the New History of the Five Dynasties.

I'm quite curious, is there really such a record in historical books?

So I looked it up.

We haven't found anything yet, Comrade He Jun. Do you think these netizens are just making things up?

Chapter 394 The First Standing Committee Meeting Held

Hearing this, He Jun was completely dumbfounded.

How could he possibly know anything about history?

"Governor Chen, are you saying that someone is spreading rumors and creating trouble online, using this method to insult international friends?"

Chen Luo frowned noticeably.

"Comrade He Jun, what did you say? Spreading rumors and causing trouble?"

He Jun thought he had guessed correctly, and his original tension instantly disappeared, returning to his carefree and smiling appearance.

"Yes, Governor Chen, it's just spreading rumors and causing trouble!"

The fact that these international friends have come to our province shows that our province's geographical conditions and economic development are at a leading level in the world. Yet, some people on the internet have made these inappropriate remarks, attempting to undermine the friendship between China and foreign countries.

Governor Chen, rest assured, our Provincial Public Security Department will definitely strengthen the management of the internet and strive to arrest a number of criminals who have made inappropriate remarks as a warning to others!

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo's face turned completely cold.

"Comrade He Jun, you should go back now..."

Chen Luo no longer wanted to talk to He Jun, and was even too lazy to get angry.

They pretended that He Jun in front of them did not exist.

"Oh? Nothing else, Governor Chen?"

"That's all, you can go now..."

"Yes, Governor Chen!"

He Jun left, and Chen Luo sighed helplessly.

With a police chief like this, one can imagine how biased the police officers below will be when handling disputes between Chinese and foreigners. If this leads to a situation where the leader sets a bad example, the biggest concern is that the leader will cause problems.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Come in!"

The door was gently pushed open, and the person who entered was Chen Luo's secretary, Xu Yang.

"Governor, we just received a notification from the General Office that the Standing Committee meeting scheduled for Monday this week has been postponed to tomorrow morning and will not be canceled."

Here are the meeting minutes, please take a look!

Xu Yang respectfully handed the document to the table. Compared to yesterday, Xu Yang had changed today. He was no longer cautious and kept his distance, although he was still a little scared.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo picked up the main agenda items of the meeting and saw that the first item was actually about personnel matters.

Moreover, the topic was Yu Xiangbei recommending He Jun, the director of the Provincial Public Security Department, for promotion to the vice-provincial level. The materials listed a lot of He Jun's work achievements, but Chen Luo could only see two words when he looked at them: empty and vague!

"You think someone like this can be recommended for a vice-provincial level position?"

I think you, Yu Xiangbei, are blinded by lard!

Chen Luo slammed the materials in his hand aside before looking at his secretary, Xu Yang.

"Xiao Xu, could you call and ask Secretary Jia of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection if he's available right now? I need to exchange some opinions with Comrade Renli on some matters."
