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

Zhao Donglai, Qiu Kai, and Tang Ning were all stunned. Was this too much exploitation?

"What do you mean 'ah'? All the police officers in the province have worked hard during this period, with such a large increase in workload. Isn't it only right to charge double the repatriation fee?"

I've decided to use the extra funds as welfare for all the police officers in the province. It may not be much, but it's a token of our appreciation. If necessary, we can add some extra meals.

We can't let our police officers work for nothing, can we?

“Governor, but if that’s the case… I’m afraid those illegal immigrants who can’t afford the repatriation fees won’t be able to raise the money in a short time.”

Chen Luo rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Three months isn't enough? Then a year! If a year isn't enough? Then two years! Do you really think China is a philanthropist?"

Besides, there's no need to buy plane tickets for everyone. Just find an ocean liner and haul them all back to Africa... That's the easiest way, and these illegal immigrants have gone through this process before.

Qiu Kai, who was standing nearby, immediately delivered the finishing blow.

"Good idea, Governor, how about we just sell them off halfway through the journey? I heard Southeast Asia is short of manpower..."

Tang Ning smiled and took over the conversation.

"Comrade Qiu Kai, you can't talk nonsense. It was clearly during the resupply at the port in Southeast Asia that these illegal immigrants caused trouble and ran off the ship. How could our provincial government engage in human trafficking?"

"Comrade Tang Ning's idea is excellent!"

"In that case, if Comrade Tang Ning has any connections, I'll entrust this to you. I have high hopes for you, Comrade Tang Ning!"

"No, no, no, Governor, I was just joking."

Tang Ning quickly shook his head.

But Chen Luo said seriously, "There are always unexpected things in this world. We in Guangdong Province also hope to successfully repatriate these illegal immigrants, but they disobey orders and insist on fleeing to Southeast Asia. What does that have to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter……"

"That settles it then? Comrade Tang Ning, I have high hopes for you!"

This time, Tang Ning stopped laughing.

However, he also felt a little restless... The thought of actually doing it made his heart boil with excitement.

Ten minutes later, Tang Ning, Qiu Kai, and Zhao Donglai all left the office, leaving Chen Luo alone to continue looking at the documents.

It must be said that Zhao Donglai acted very quickly!

That afternoon, illegal immigrants detained in detention centers and prisons across the province were interrogated. Most of these illegal immigrants came from Africa, and the airfare and overstay fines added up to about 20,000 RMB.

Guangdong Province, on the other hand, raised the price to 50,000 yuan and stated that those who could not afford the repatriation fee would be forcibly assigned work.

The detention over the past few days had already brought some of the wealthier illegal immigrants to the brink of collapse. Cells that usually held eight people were now doubled to hold sixteen. The smell and the lack of food made for the extremely harsh living conditions!

They couldn't wait to get out of this awful place...

Even if it means being deported!

Therefore, wealthy illegal immigrants paid 50,000 yuan without even haggling, and the officials in Guangdong Province were equally accommodating, buying them tickets back to China that same day, arranging their repatriation, and even transferring them to eight-person dorm rooms...

Those who could not afford repatriation fees were given jobs.

The Shijing River in Baiyun District, which was known as the dirtiest river in Guangzhou, has finally seen government efforts to clean it up.

More than ten buses drove out of the prison, carrying four hundred illegal immigrants, and slowly stopped at the river. The district government had prepared cleaning tools on site. Under the escort of armed police, these illegal immigrants obediently took the tools and began cleaning the river.

The temperature in Guangzhou is very high. These illegal immigrants are sweating profusely. The stinking river is full of garbage. They suppress the urge to vomit and start working. There is an armed policeman every ten meters. These illegal immigrants really dare not move.

Besides the Shijing River in Baiyun District, observant citizens have also noticed a large number of unsuspecting people at some municipal engineering projects.

Both were guarded by armed police, but it must be said that Mo Ren's physical strength is quite admirable. He can't do meticulous work, but he does the heavy lifting without making a sound.

By the end of the first day, those who were stingy or had unrealistic expectations couldn't hold on any longer and demanded to be repatriated as soon as they had paid. This screening method was very efficient.

After just three days, more than half of the undocumented immigrants chose to pay for repatriation. The remaining half also wanted to leave, but they simply didn't have the money...

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's Monday!

At 9:00 a.m., the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee convened.

After I sat down in the provincial party committee meeting room, Secretary Aimin arrived shortly afterward.

"Comrades, we were quite busy last week and didn't hold a Standing Committee meeting. I know that you all have some doubts in your hearts. A lot has indeed happened in Guangdong Province recently, especially the special operation by the Provincial Public Security Department."

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Governor Chen and I will be happy to answer them!

After Secretary Aimin finished speaking, Yu Xiangbei took a deep breath and didn't mince words, but his tone was very calm.

"Secretary Aimin, Governor Chen, I would like to know about the current situation of the investigation into illegal immigrants."

Of course, I support the Provincial Public Security Department's special operation. I just wanted to ask if there are any difficulties encountered in the work. If so, please bring them up, and our Provincial Party Committee will discuss and help resolve them.

Neither Yu Xiangbei nor Wei Shenshi, the Organization Minister, dared to provoke the issue that had already been defined by the central media.

Chen Luo nodded upon hearing this.

"Comrade Xiangbei, there really is one!"

When our police shot and killed that illegal immigrant a while ago, there was a lot of controversy online.

Especially some media outlets that spread smears and fabricate stories!

This matter must be investigated in our province; we cannot allow such unscrupulous media outlets to continue spreading rumors!

"Governor Chen makes a very good point!"

Our Guangdong Provincial Party Committee must hold these unscrupulous media outlets accountable!

Yu Xiangbei spoke with righteous indignation, but Chen Luo was unhurried and said quietly, "Comrade Xiangbei's understanding is very good, but now there is a problem. Among these unscrupulous media outlets, one of them is an official agency of our province!"

Those reports from the Provincial Writers Association are truly infuriating. They made reckless statements and made baseless accusations against the work of the Provincial Public Security Department without any factual investigation. To be honest, all the police officers in the province are very disappointed.

After all, even their own people aren't on their side...

How should the provincial writers' association handle this situation?

When Yu Xiangbei heard this, he was completely stunned. He really didn't know that the Provincial Writers Association had done such a thing.

Chapter 412 You reap what you sow!

“Governor Chen, is there some misunderstanding about this? I know Comrade He Jun, the Party Secretary of the Provincial Writers Association, and in principle, he would not make a mistake in such a matter.”

Yu Xiangbei still wanted to try to help He Jun.

However, Chen Luo was not willing to give up.

"Comrade Xiang Bei, if you don't believe me, you can take out your phone and see for yourself. These articles criticizing the Provincial Public Security Department's law enforcement are still posted on the Provincial Writers Association's official website!"

I understand that Comrade He Jun felt resentful about the Provincial Party Committee's decision to remove him from his position as Director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

But this does not mean that he can so recklessly smear our police officers in Guangdong Province, nor does it mean that he, as the Party Secretary of the Provincial Writers Association, can continue to turn a deaf ear after the facts are clear!

What is he trying to do? Go against the organization? Go against the provincial party committee?

Comrade Xiang Bei, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, but Comrade He Jun's actions cannot be lightly forgiven under Party discipline and national law. The hundreds of thousands of police officers also need justice!

Yu Xiangbei felt utterly dejected, and he couldn't bring himself to plead for mercy.

However, just because Yu Xiangbei doesn't want to compete doesn't mean others won't.

"Governor Chen, is this matter really that serious? Please don't exaggerate! Comrade He Jun has been working in the political and legal system for decades, and he may not be familiar with the business of the Provincial Writers Association. It's inevitable that he would make a mistake."

Our provincial party committee should be understanding of cadres like Comrade He Jun and give him time to adapt to his current work.

Before Chen Luo could refute Wei Shenshi's words, Jia Renli from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection stepped forward.

"Minister Wei, what you're saying is dangerous!"

What does it mean that making mistakes is inevitable? Does it mean that you can use a casual excuse like "I don't know," "It's my first time," or "I'm not familiar" to avoid punishment from the organization?

Furthermore, the problems that Comrade He Jun has are not as simple as those mentioned by Governor Chen!

According to the investigation by our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, after Comrade He Jun arrived at the Provincial Writers Association, he used his power to hire several young and beautiful female authors under the guise of talent introduction. These authors were actually female college students who had just graduated from the Literature Department!

Do you know why Comrade He Jun hasn't taken down the smear article about police officers published by the Provincial Writers Association these past few days?

That's because He Jun is still taking those young female college students to Dongping City for an inspection tour!

As soon as Jia Renli finished speaking, everyone's gaze became subtle, except for Secretary Aimin, who remained expressionless.

"Secretary Jia, can your provincial discipline inspection commission guarantee the authenticity of its investigation?"

Suddenly, Yu Xiangbei asked this question.

“Secretary Yu, if you don’t believe me, you can call Comrade He Jun now to verify it yourself. I’m just afraid he won’t dare to tell the truth, and that you will also choose to hide it from me, Secretary Yu.”

Taking a deep breath, Yu Xiangbei shook his head.

"No need. I trust the investigation results from your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Comrade Renli. If He Jun really did have an improper relationship with those female college students..."

I would agree with the Provincial Party Committee's decision to take serious action against him!

"We will absolutely not allow such a lecherous person to remain in our ranks!"

Wei Shenshi was dumbfounded as he watched Yu Xiangbei compromise; he couldn't follow, and he couldn't back down either...

He could only give an awkward laugh, touch the bridge of his nose, and lower his head, playing dead like an ostrich.

"Is everything discussed?"

At this moment, the first secretary, Aimin, spoke up.

In short, everyone straightened their backs, including Wei Shenshi, who was pretending to be an ostrich.

"The investigation into Comrade He Jun will be led by Comrade Renli, your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

If, as you say, there is concrete evidence, then in accordance with relevant regulations, expel him from the Party and remove him from public office!

I would like to remind everyone that the current focus of our provincial party committee is still on the reform of personnel assessment indicators proposed by Comrade Chen Luo, and all departments have received the specific assessment dimensions and standards.

A bad soldier is just one bad soldier, a bad general makes a bad army. Those present are all leading cadres in charge of various government departments and units in Guangdong Province.

If that government agency doesn't strictly adhere to the performance evaluation criteria, don't blame me, the Party Secretary, for being ruthless when the investigation comes out!

Upon hearing this, everyone unconsciously swallowed.

"Alright, that's the end of the meeting. Meeting adjourned!"

As Secretary Aimin got up and left, Chen Luo also got up and followed closely behind. After taking a deep breath, Yu Xiangbei also left his seat and walked out of the meeting room. However, he did not go far before taking out his phone and finding He Jun's number, which was still saved as "brother-in-law".
