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

You're in good health; I'm sure you'll have the energy to complete the tasks assigned to you by the organization.

Old Xu's words were half truth and half platitudes.

He is 67 years old this year. At this age, he has a deep understanding of the word "health". Health is the synonym for political lifespan!

"Your energy and spirit are also excellent, old leader!"

"Hahaha, you've got a sweet tongue, kid. You weren't like this when you were the vice mayor of Kunming. When I, a member of the Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Suzhou Municipal Party Committee, went to Kunming for research, you didn't say a single flattering word."

Chen Luo blushed slightly upon hearing this.

"Old leader, he was young and immature back then."

"Alright, alright, you haven't really changed. You're still the same person at heart. Stop standing and sit down to talk."

"Xiao Huang, go and get that bottle of Moutai from my liquor cabinet!"

Upon hearing his boss's instructions, Huang Ming immediately headed towards the wine cabinet.

The wine was brought over quickly.

While eating, Chen Luo did not forget to report to Old Xu on the development and plans of Suzhou City over the years.

Afterwards, Mr. Xu called Chen Luo to his study for a private talk.

............................................................

Upon entering the study, Chen Luo immediately recognized the calligraphy hanging on the wall directly in front of him: "Rule of law!"

"Chen Luo, you're about to go to Handong to take charge of political and legal work. How are you? Aren't you worried?"

As he spoke, Old Xu gently turned a page of a copy of the Constitution and stroked it with his slightly wrinkled index finger.

Chen Luo nodded.

"Old leader, there is definitely pressure. My previous work experience has always revolved around economic development. Now I have to take charge of the political and legal work in Handong. I imagine there will be many difficulties."

"Yes, there are difficulties and challenges, but they also provide better training. Your ability in economic development is evident to all. Sending you to work at the Handong Political and Legal Affairs Commission is also to see if you can take on important responsibilities in other areas!"

Old Xu spoke very frankly, and Chen Luo naturally understood him clearly.

"We originally planned to transfer you to the National Development and Reform Commission at the end of the year, but some people there don't want you to come. They say that when it comes to work, you can shine anywhere."

When you get to Handong, you'd better shine and make some people sweat. I believe you can do that!

These two sentences reveal a rather intriguing meaning: does someone not want him to go to the National Development and Reform Commission?

However, thinking about his current age, Chen Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. It seemed that he had become a threat to some people.

"Don't worry, senior leader, I will definitely do my best in the political and legal work in Handong!"

"I'm very relieved about that. After all, Chen Luo, you are a genius who graduated from Peking University with a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree."

They do have problem-solving skills!

Some of your senior classmates often use you as an example to inspire their subordinates.

Even those higher up are looking at you with new respect. Go to Handong, be bold. The political and legal system in Handong has become rigid; it needs drastic reforms, like scraping the bone to remove poison. At the same time, you must be careful about the impact.

"Old leader, I'll remember that!"

"Hahaha, just remember that. I don't have anything else to say. Just contact Secretary Huang if you have any questions!"

............................................................

It was already 10 p.m. when we left Mr. Xu's residence.

Chen Luo had just finished showering at the hotel when his cell phone rang.

Chapter 4 Arrival in Handong, First Meeting

"Hey, honey!"

Chen Luo's tone softened completely.

On the phone, Chen Luo's wife, Zhang Nian, spoke with a gentle voice, asking with concern, "Honey, did your trip to Beijing go smoothly?"

Chen Luo smiled and replied, "Yes, it went very smoothly!"

Are the children all asleep?

"They've fallen asleep. The two little ones are a bit naughty, so I called you as soon as they were asleep."

Hearing his wife's reply, Chen Luo felt a warmth in his heart.

"Honey, you've worked so hard!"

"Hmph, you're only just realizing that now?"

"Should we go with you to Handong this time?"

Hearing this, Chen Luo thought for a moment and then nodded.

"After I settle down in Handong, I'll bring you over. I estimate that our family will have to settle down in Handong for the next few years."

"Okay, I understand. You get some rest now, I'll hang up now, we'll wait for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo felt a little reluctant to part.

His wife's name is Zhang Nian. She graduated from Beijing University of Finance and Economics with a major in finance and was a well-known talented woman at the university.

The two met while Chen Luo was pursuing his doctorate.

Chen Luo was six years older than Zhang Nian, and the two quickly got married in their first year after graduation.

After getting together with Chen Luo, Zhang Nian plunged into the financial market with his support, and soon after their marriage, she gave birth to twins.

As night deepened, Chen Luo soon fell asleep.

A few days later, a plane took off from Beijing and headed straight for Handong International Airport.

on the plane.

Besides Chen Luo and Minister Xu from the Organization Department of the Central Committee, there is another person: Sha Ruijin, the soon-to-be-appointed Secretary of the Handong Provincial Committee!

Minister Xu was there to announce the organizational appointments, so it was natural to introduce Chen Luo and Sha Ruijin on the plane.

On the two soft chairs at the front, Sha Ruijin and Minister Xu sat side by side, while Chen Luo sat in the row behind them.

Next came their respective secretaries and accompanying staff.

"Comrade Ruijin, the organization believes in your ability to oversee the overall situation when you go to Handong to take charge of the work."

The two chatted casually.

One was a powerful regional official in charge of a region, and the other was a big shot who was likely to succeed as the head of the Ministry of Personnel. Although they were of the same rank, Sha Ruijin was well aware that he was still somewhat inferior to Minister Xu.

"The situation in Handong is complex. The organization trusts me and has sent me, Sha Ruijin, to Handong to take charge of the work. I must show a spirit of not being afraid of difficulties in my work!"

Minister Xu and the organization can rest assured on this point!

Minister Xu listened with a smile in his eyes, without showing any obvious emotion. Instead, he changed the subject and turned to look at Chen Luo behind him.

"Comrade Ruijin is not fighting alone. Comrade Chen Luo also went to Handong to preside over the political and legal work. To be honest, this is my junior's first time working in the political and legal field."

"Upon arriving in Handong, we will need Comrade Ruijin's full support for Comrade Chen Luo's work."

Sha Ruijin already knew about this relationship.

He also turned to look at Chen Luo.

"Comrade Chen Luo, I have long heard of your great name. In recent years, the development of Suzhou has been frequently praised by the State Council, which has encouraged other regions to learn from your development experience."

I'm really looking forward to working together in Handong this time!

Sha Ruijin wasn't lying; Chen Luo had just been promoted to vice-provincial level, posing no threat to him, the provincial party secretary.

In some ways, Chen Luoneng's ability to establish a foothold in the political and legal work in Handong was also of great help to his political mission in Handong.

Chen Luo smiled and replied, "Secretary Sha, it's all for the people, it's all what we should do!"

Tai Chi, who doesn't know how to do it?

Sha Ruijin simply smiled faintly at this. It would be best if Chen Luo could cooperate, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't, after all, one was a graduate of Peking University and the other was a graduate of Tsinghua University...

Minister Xu found the two's pointless conversation quite interesting, but he quickly picked up the topic and continued chatting with Sha Ruijin.

Meanwhile, at Hantong International Airport.

The other members of the Hantong Provincial Committee were already waiting.

Governor Liu Changsheng, with his full head of white hair, looked indifferent and took the new provincial party secretary in stride. What difference did it make who came?

The reason is quite simple: he's getting old and had no chance of taking over the position. Ever since he failed in the leadership competition when Zhao Lichun went to Beijing four years ago, Liu Changsheng has basically only thought about retiring peacefully.

Unlike Governor Liu's composure, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Gao Yuliang and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Li Dakang were visibly frowning.

The other members of the Standing Committee all had calm expressions, showing no joy or happiness, except for Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who was beaming with smiles.

The plane landed quickly at Handong Airport.

As the cabin door opened, Minister Xu stepped out first, followed by Sha Ruijin, and then Chen Luo.

"Minister Xu, welcome!"

Governor Liu walked at the front, smiling and greeting Minister Xu with a warm handshake. He then looked at Sha Ruijin and Chen Luo beside him and smiled, saying, "Secretary Ruijin, Comrade Chen Luo, Handong welcomes you!"

After another round of handshakes, Chen Luo finally met all the members of the Standing Committee of Handong, a total of thirteen people including himself.

They are the provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin.

Liu Changsheng, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor.

Gao Yuliang, full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Tian Guofu, Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Organization Minister: Wu Chunlin

Li Dakang, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Executive Vice Governor, Shen Demin.

Yu Manjun, member of the Standing Committee and Vice Governor.
