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

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang nodded emphatically.

"Yes, Governor, I'll ask right away!"

After speaking, Xu Yang left the office and then called the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Jia Renli naturally did not refuse, as he had long wanted to report the issues in Guangdong Province to Chen Luo.

Therefore, after receiving the call, Jia Renli took the materials downstairs and went straight to the provincial government.

5 p.m., Governor's office.

Jia Renli sat in front of Chen Luo, who was looking at the materials Jia Renli had brought him.

As I looked at it, I started to frown.

"Comrade Renli, you've only been in Guangdong Province for two months, and you've already discovered so many problems?"

“Governor Chen, this is only part of the problem. In fact, the problems in Guangdong Province are more complex and serious than this.”

Take the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department for example.

According to our provincial discipline inspection commission's preliminary investigation, he alone owns over a hundred properties in Guangzhou.

Chen Luo nodded.

Have you reported these issues to Secretary Aimin?

"Not yet..."

Chen Luo could tell from Jia Renli's expression that he didn't quite trust Provincial Party Secretary Zhang Aimin.

"Comrade Renli, are you worried that Secretary Aimin will be lenient with him?"

"Well, it's not like that possibility can't be ruled out..."

"Okay, I understand how you feel."

Leave these materials here. I will report to Secretary Aimin separately after the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow.

Let's see what Secretary Aimin thinks.

But don't worry, Comrade Renli.

Regardless of what instructions Secretary Aimin may give.

These officials who violate laws and regulations will be dealt with according to the law and regulations! This will not change!

"Governor Chen, I believe in you!"

Jia Renli's words were firm and resolute; he truly trusted Chen Luo.

"By the way, Comrade Renli, I see that the materials you submitted are mostly about disciplinary violations and illegal activities by cadres in the government system. What is your opinion on the current Director of the Public Security Bureau, Comrade He Jun? Have you conducted an in-depth investigation?"

When He Jun was mentioned, Jia Renli frowned.

"Governor Chen, regarding Comrade He Jun... our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection did conduct an investigation for a period of time. To say he's clean, He Jun is certainly not clean. He did abuse his power, but it didn't cause any major social problems."

To be precise, Director He of the Provincial Public Security Department did not focus his work on the management of public security throughout the province, but instead indulged in hedonism, was lazy and negligent in his duties, and failed to do his job properly. He was a kind of cadre who lay down and did nothing.

To put it bluntly, He Jun is simply not cut out to be the head of the provincial public security bureau!

"Alright, I understand. Comrade Renli, you can go back to work now. There's another Standing Committee meeting tomorrow!"

When the topic of the Standing Committee came up, Jia Renli hesitated to speak.

However, he ultimately didn't say it aloud, believing that Chen Luo wouldn't let Yu Xiangbei get what he wanted.

The first day's work did not make any substantial progress. To be precise, Chen Luo spent the next month mainly sorting out the work done across the province over the past two years.

Only by clearly understanding the development trajectory of Guangdong Province can we identify the problems and difficulties it currently faces and make targeted measures and decisions.

Instead of making a decision on a whim.

The next day, Tuesday morning at 8:50.

The small conference room of the Provincial Party Committee.

When Chen Luo arrived, all the other members of the Standing Committee, except for Secretary Aimin, were already seated.

His seat was in the first row, and sitting opposite him was Deputy Secretary Yu Xiangbei.

The second row was naturally reserved for the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Minister of Organization. Coincidentally, Jia Renli was sitting on the same side as Chen Luo.

At 9:00 AM sharp, Secretary Aimin arrived.

After taking their seats, Secretary Aimin announced the start of the meeting and raised the first topic.

"Let's all share our opinions on Comrade Xiang Bei's proposal to promote He Jun, the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, to the vice-provincial level."

After saying that one sentence, Secretary Aimin fell silent. In fact, Secretary Aimin didn't really care about the general agenda items of the Guangdong Provincial Standing Committee meetings.

His role is like a ballast stone, only sitting in the province on a macro level. When he doesn't speak, the Standing Committee is a debate arena for everyone. When he does speak, his word is law!

Chapter 395 Becoming a Vice-Provincial Level Official? Dream on!

"Comrades, I recommend Comrade He Jun for the position of Vice Governor for the following three main reasons."

The first to break the silence was Deputy Secretary Yu Xiangbei.

"Firstly, Comrade He Jun has served as the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department for several years, and his qualifications and experience are sufficient."

Secondly, most of the provincial police department directors in other provinces have been appointed as deputy provincial-level officials. This arrangement can better coordinate the police force across the province, which is conducive to maintaining stability and ensuring public security.

Thirdly, Comrade He Jun has been diligent and conscientious in his work over the years, and his conduct has been impeccable. Shouldn't our Provincial Party Committee reconsider resolving Comrade He Jun's issue as a vice-provincial level official? We can't let the lower-level cadres feel disheartened!

After these words were spoken, the meeting room became eerily quiet.

Only Secretary Aimin remained calm and relaxed, exuding an air of detachment from worldly affairs.

Chen Luo didn't rush to refute it.

This Standing Committee meeting is a great opportunity to see clearly which members of the Guangdong Provincial Standing Committee are true friends and which are traitors...

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Xiangbei finished speaking, Wei Shenshi, the organization minister standing next to him, took over the conversation.

"Our organization department agrees with this opinion."

Comrade He Jun has served as the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department for four years, which meets the required years and standards for promotion.

Furthermore, no problems have been found in the investigation of Comrade He Jun personally!

"Minister Wei, your Organization Department has not found any problems, but our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has a different opinion!"

At this moment, Jia Renli spoke up!

"Regarding Comrade He Jun, our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection learned during a routine inquiry and investigation of cadres that Comrade He Jun had been a hands-off manager for four years while working in the Provincial Department."

The specific work is handled by several deputy directors, while Comrade He Jun only knows how to lie down and enjoy himself. What qualifications does a cadre like him have to be a deputy provincial-level official?

I think not only should he not be promoted to vice-provincial level, but he should also be seriously criticized! Or even replaced outright!

Public security is of paramount importance to the entire province; how can we tolerate such a rotten apple being made a vanguard or a leader?

Jia Renli's words made even the usually calm Secretary Aimin raise an eyebrow. He had been in Guangdong Province for two months, and this was the first time Jia Renli had refuted him like this at a Standing Committee meeting!

However, after glancing at Chen Luo beside Jia Renli, everything seemed to make sense again.

If we're talking about the person with the most stern face right now, it has to be Yu Xiangbei. He's almost never failed at anything he's set out to do, except for the matter of promoting He Jun to the vice-provincial level. He's brought it up several times over the past few years, but each time he's failed.

Now that a new governor has been appointed, if this cannot be done now, it will be even more difficult in the future.

Therefore, Yu Xiangbei stared intently at Jia Renli.

"Comrade Renli, what does it mean to be a hands-off manager?"

This clearly demonstrates Comrade He Jun's ability to understand the big picture, prioritize the overall situation, and unite his comrades. Leaders should not try to control all the work and all the power, but rather focus on doing their job well and leading their teams effectively.

I don't understand, Comrade Renli, why do you have such a strong opinion about Comrade He Jun, even calling him a "rotten apple"? If this gets out, the comrades below will truly be disheartened!

Yu Xiangbei's sophistry infuriated Jia Renli; wasn't this blatant distortion of the truth?

Chen Luo originally wanted to offer some support, but before he could get close to the microphone, Executive Vice Governor Tang Ning spoke up.

"Secretary Yu, don't get agitated. What Secretary Jia said makes sense. Our provincial government is the most qualified to speak on Comrade He Jun's character. It can be said that He Jun is a typical example of someone who doesn't listen to instructions and runs his own show!"

He was not yet the vice governor in charge of public security in the province, but Comrade He Jun completely ignored the work instructions from Vice Governor Tang, who was in charge of public security. Who gave him this courage?

I think Secretary Yu knows this best!

"Comrade Tang Ning, what do you mean by that?"

Are you saying I'm condoning Comrade He Jun?

Please provide evidence before you speak!

Yu Xiangbei remained calm.

"Evidence? Secretary Yu, when you were the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, you promoted Comrade He Jun. Besides, who doesn't know that your wife and Comrade He Jun's wife are cousins?"

Comrade He Jun doesn't report his work to our provincial government; instead, he comes to your home, Secretary Yu, to report. In this situation, do we need any further evidence?

Standing Committee member and Vice Governor Qiu Kai was not to be outdone. They now had powerful backers and were no longer the weak and easily bullied people they once were!

"Comrade Qiu Kai! Please stop rambling on!"

Which rules and regulations explicitly state that Comrade He Jun cannot report to me, the deputy secretary, regarding his work?

As for coming to my home, just as you said, Comrade He Jun and I are related, and it's normal for relatives to visit each other. Is there anything wrong with that?

"Comrade Xiangbei, don't rush. I understand that it's easy to get inflamed when you get older, but it's not good for your health!"

Our Party values ​​seeking truth from facts. If Comrade He Jun is truly as conscientious and responsible as Comrade Xiang Bei said, then why would he arouse unwarranted doubts?

If he truly is a complacent, pleasure-seeking cadre, Comrade Xiang Bei, even if you talk until you're hoarse, the outcome won't change.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Yu Xiangbei's expression immediately turned ugly. This was a mockery of his old age!

"Governor Chen, what is your opinion?"

Yu Xiangbei was wary of Chen Luo, after all, the other party had a very powerful background.

"Comrade Xiangbei, there's no smoke without fire!"

Yesterday, after the provincial government's plenary work meeting, I had a special conversation with Comrade He Jun, whom you mentioned. I also oversaw political and legal work in Handong for a period of time, but frankly, my impression of Comrade He Jun was disappointing!

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangbei's heart skipped a beat. This was a direct statement of their stance!

"Governor Chen, do you dislike Comrade He Jun?"
