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

Looking at the storage box on Chen Luo's table, Tang Ning frowned, her expression somewhat complicated.

Chen Luo didn't hide anything and explained, "My appointment notice from above will be issued in the next couple of days. I'm just tidying up in advance to make room for the new comrade."

They had already heard Chen Luo mention this matter before.

"Alas, Governor Chen, we know you will leave, but we are still a little reluctant to part with you."

In just two years, the entire province of Guangdong has made rapid progress, with significant changes in industrial upgrading, people's livelihoods, and all other aspects. "What if the person who succeeds you..."

"Unless something goes wrong, the person taking over the work of the provincial government is the current deputy secretary of Haishi City. I communicated with him in advance."

He supports the province's strategic plan.

Comrade Tang Ning, you are now the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Comrade Qiu Kai, you are now the Executive Vice Governor.

Even if the new colleagues don't quite agree with my work philosophy, it won't affect your work.

The two remained silent, exchanging a glance before rising almost simultaneously to stand before Chen Luo and quietly helping him tidy up his personal belongings.

Three days later, Chen Luo's appointment was finalized.

[XX News Agency, [Month] Xpx] Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made adjustments to the leadership of the propaganda and ideological, and cyberspace administration systems: Comrade Chen Luo was removed from his positions as Deputy Secretary and Governor of Guangdong Province, and transferred to the position of Deputy Minister in charge of daily work at the Central Propaganda Department, Director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, and Director of the State Council Information Office.

The handover of work would take some time, and half a month later, Chen Luo boarded a plane to the capital.

In a courtyard house in Houhai, there is a three-section courtyard house. The area is neither small nor large. It was bought by Chen Luo and his wife when they were in school.

I've held onto these shares all these years without selling them. I've come to work in the capital, so of course it's more comfortable to live in my own home.

The central courtyard is a garden with a persimmon tree that looks to be several decades old. Chen Luo is sitting on a recliner under the tree, gently rocking back and forth while reaching out to the stone table next to him to pick up a teacup and take a sip.

"Life is still so pleasant like this..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the hanging flower gate was suddenly pushed open by a tremendous force.

Chen Zhengxi stood with his hands on his hips, squinted, and smiled at Chen Luo. Then, he threw the schoolbag he was carrying straight at Chen Luo in an arc.

Chen Luo was no longer in the mood to enjoy himself. He quickly put down his teacup and caught the schoolbag that fell in front of him with both hands.

"Tsk, Dad, you're living a really comfortable life."

You came to the capital without saying a word! If I hadn't seen the background image of the city during a video call with my mom this morning, who knows how long you would have kept it from me and my brother!

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo rolled his eyes and pointed to the schoolbag in his hand, saying, "There's a reason I'm not telling you."

"Look at you, you're not a child anymore, yet you're still so loud and boisterous. Your mother and I finally have some time to rest, and we certainly don't want you to ruin our peace."

As they spoke, Chen Zhengxi had already come up behind Chen Luo, put his hands on Chen Luo's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Dad, you and Mom must have misunderstood me. How could I, being so well-behaved, disturb your rest?"

As he spoke, Chen Zhengxi began to massage Chen Luo's shoulders.

"Hmm, she's quite sensible..."

Chen Luo was enjoying himself and felt very satisfied.

"Um... Dad, you said you're working in the capital now, so does that mean I don't have to live on campus anymore?"

You have no idea how outrageous some people can be these days.

I just can't stand my roommates; they're all abnormal.

Chen Luo was taken aback upon hearing this.

"You want to go home?"

"Of course, it's not far from school anyway, and I really can't stand my roommates anymore."

It's not a matter of lifestyle habits. I'm not a pampered princess, so I wouldn't be so disgusted by these things.

What truly disgusts me is how they treat those international students like peacocks displaying their plumage.

Even knowing that those people just wanted to settle in China through them, they still foolishly threw themselves at them...

She keeps saying disgusting things to me every day; I'm about to throw up.

Chen Luo nodded upon hearing this.

“Living at home is fine, but living with people with warped thoughts and distorted values ​​is torture in itself.”

Chapter 451 One wave left, another wave arrived.

Overjoyed at receiving permission, Chen Zhengxi pressed even harder.

"By the way, Dad, I saw on the news that you're about to become the vice minister in charge of daily operations."

Oh, and there are other positions too.

Director of the Cyberspace Administration of China and Director of the State Internet Information Office.

"Does this mean you'll be in charge of all online platform promotional work nationwide from now on?"

Chen Luo didn't mince words; after all, it was the truth.

"That's how it is in theory."

"Haha, that's great, Dad."

You should first take care of those online accounts promoting cross-border marriages. Are they fake? They post fake love videos every day.

They don't want to eat the food of their own people, yet they want to eat the food of their own people.

These kinds of accounts should be severely punished to prevent others from following suit.

"Oh? How do you want me to take action against these accounts?"

Chen Luo turned around and looked at Chen Zhengxi.

Seeing this, Chen Zhengxi thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said: "Limit the flow, severely limit the flow!"

Chen Luo rolled his eyes. "It's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. I know a bit about the situation you're describing."

Using transnational marriage as a way to gain popularity, wanting to eat the food of the domestic market but not using the domestic bowl, might as well just flip the table.

Besides these, there are also foreigners who use "I love China" as a password to gain popularity on domestic video platforms, but then engage in all sorts of complaining and cursing once they go abroad. These kinds of people shouldn't be allowed to continue doing this.

"Yes, yes, Dad, give him a good beating!"

"Jung-hee, do you think I'm being influenced by you and indulging in a little bit of willful power now?"

Chen Zhengxi rolled his eyes and replied, "Of course not, Dad. I'm a citizen, right?"

"Yes, citizens with legitimate rights."

"Then I have the right to offer suggestions and advice, right?"

"have."

"That's it then. I'm just offering suggestions to Director Chen as a citizen, and you've wisely agreed with my suggestions."

"Haha, that makes sense. Alright, then I accept Comrade Zhengxi's suggestion!"

The father and daughter were chatting when a knock came at the door.

"Jung-hee, go open the door."

"Okay, Dad!"

Satisfied, Chen Zhengxi skipped and hopped to the front yard to open the door. As soon as the door opened, the expression on Chen Zhengxi's face instantly became solemn.

"Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Wang, Uncle Xu, Uncle Jia..."

Chen Zhengxi only recognized three of them; she didn't recognize any of the others, but she still addressed them very politely as "uncle" and "grandpa."

The reason was simple: everyone who came was older than Chen Luo.

"Oh, Zhengxi, you're here too! Where's your dad?"

Mr. Xu smiled happily. He retired last year and is still in good health without the stress of high-intensity work.

"Grandpa Xu, my dad is in the yard."

"Okay, then take us in. We came in a hurry and didn't even tell your dad beforehand. We might scare him later."

Chen Zhengxi smiled and led the way.

After passing through the hanging flower gate and entering the central courtyard, Chen Zhengxi did not look at Chen Luo, but said to Xu Lao and the others behind him, "Grandpas and uncles, I'll go get you some chairs."

With that, Chen Zhengxi walked straight to the side room.

Chen Luo reacted upon hearing the sound and quickly got up from the recliner to look at the crowd.

Yes, quite a few people have come!

The oldest among them was Jia Renli's father, Old Jia, who was clearly over 100 years old but still in good health.

Behind him was Jia Renli pushing the wheelchair.

On either side are Chen Luo's former leader, Mr. Xu, and his senior, Minister Xu, as well as Minister Wang from the Ministry of Public Security a few years ago, who is now Secretary Wang, who has been transferred to the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

The last one, Chen Luo, also knew, although they didn't have much interaction; he was He Zhouqun, the current Minister of the Central Propaganda Department.

"Elder Jia, Elder Xu, Elder Wang, Minister He, senior alumnus, you were coming to my place without telling me beforehand, so I could have greeted you at the door!"

Xiao Jia was temporarily ignored by Chen Luo, after all, the identities of the others were what mattered.

"Hey, we came over without telling you. We just wanted to tell you not to cause any trouble. Your yard looks pretty nice."

After Mr. Jia finished speaking, Mr. Xu added, "This persimmon tree has a good meaning, and the fruit will definitely be very sweet when it bears fruit."

At this moment, Secretary Wang added another sentence.

"It's not the right time for it to bear fruit yet. Maybe in two or three years, it will bear fruit!"

Everyone laughed at these words, but Chen Zhengxi, who was carrying a chair out of the side room, was still a little confused.

Why does it take two or three years to bear fruit?

If you don't understand, just ask. After distributing chairs to everyone and sitting down, Chen Zhengxi craned his neck to ask questions.

"Grandpa Wang, don't persimmon trees bear fruit every year? It's April now, and in a few months they'll bear small persimmons."

The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with smiles.

“Zhengxi, this fruit is not that fruit. You are still young. When you are older, you will understand what we are talking about.”

Chen Zhengxi pursed his lips but did not refute.
