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

After shaking hands and exchanging greetings, the two entered the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Seeing this, Zhao Donglai was in a dilemma: who should he call first?

Zhao Donglai didn't dwell on this issue for too long.

The reason was that Li Dakang spoke first.

"Director Donglai, your city's public security bureau looks quite spirited. Did you know that Secretary Chen and I were coming?"

Zhao Donglai smiled and explained, "Secretary Dakang, Secretary Chen, everyone is very excited about your visit to our municipal bureau, and our morale is naturally higher."

"Yes, Director Donglai, Director Qi said that your Jingzhou Municipal Bureau is the most serious and forceful in implementing the work instructions of the Provincial Department. It seems that you are doing very well now."

Chen Luo's comments made Zhao Donglai feel as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

As with any other inspection, Chen Luo and Li Dakang first visited some of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's honors and offices.

They visited the police officers working on the front lines, and finally listened to Zhao Donglai's work report in his office.

The report wasn't the main point; Zhao Donglai gave his report for three minutes and then voluntarily left the office.

Only Chen Luo and Li Dakang remained.

"Secretary Chen, the Municipal Public Security Bureau has done a good job, as evidenced by the recent security situation in Jingzhou City."

Chen Luo nodded, and the conversation continued.

"Secretary Dakang, the Municipal Public Security Bureau is indeed doing a good job. However, the lack of a secretary for the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection means that some cadres in the Municipal Bureau who violate discipline and the law can only be sent to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate or to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is not a long-term solution!"

When the name of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary was mentioned, Li Dakang frowned.

"What does Secretary Chen mean?"

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Secretary Sha talked to me yesterday, wanting to transfer Lu Liang, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, and bring in a sharp anti-corruption weapon from Beijing."

I agree, but Comrade Lü Liang also needs to be made up. I recommend the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City.

Originally, Secretary Sha felt that the move was too big and said he wanted to wait a while before transferring Yi Xuexi, the acting mayor of Lüzhou, to Jingzhou to serve as the secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission. However, he later felt that if he did not make proper arrangements for Comrade Lüliang, it would discourage the cadres below him, so he simply agreed.

"That's why I'm first going to talk to Secretary Dakang and ask for his opinion. After all, you're the leader of the municipal party committee, so your opinion is very important!"

Li Dakang's expression softened slightly after hearing this.

Compared to Lü Liang, Li Dakang would choose Lü Liang even with his eyes closed, rather than Yi Xuexi, who was like a stone in a stinking latrine.

Chapter 44 The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, Each Displaying Their Unique Abilities

"Secretary Chen, in fact, whoever comes to Jingzhou to serve as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, I, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, should obey the organization's arrangement. However, the current situation is not optimistic."

The former secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Zhang Shuli, was found to have violated discipline and the law after the Ding Yizhen incident, which caused panic among businessmen who came to invest in Jingzhou. The Guangmingfeng project is still short of some investment.

Therefore, the newly appointed secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission needs to not only adhere to the rules and investigate and punish cadres' violations of discipline and law in accordance with the law, but also to be mindful of the bigger picture and work from the perspective of Jingzhou's development.

Li Dakang's words were from the bottom of his heart. He was the alpha wolf, and his subordinates were just there to get things done and take the blame.

Li Dakang has no one he can recommend for the position of Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. His current stance is clear: he will not obstruct the process, but the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection must cooperate with the overall development of Jingzhou City.

“I can understand why Secretary Dakang has such thoughts.”

The millions of people in Jingzhou need development and food, and Secretary Dakang is the person primarily responsible for this.

The position of the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is of paramount importance!

If someone who only focuses on fighting corruption and ignores the impact and needs of economic development were to be put in charge of this work, it would be extremely damaging to Jingzhou's development.

Both of them speak behind closed doors, and both are capable leaders in economic development; they understand the underlying principles all too well.

Which company doesn't have some underhanded dealings behind the scenes?

It's just a difference between a more serious case and a superficial one. If we investigate everything thoroughly, who would dare to invest? The world isn't black and white, but rather a hazy gray.

"However, Secretary Dakang can rest assured that Comrade Lü Liang has spent more than ten years in the procuratorate, which has honed his character and given him a good grasp of the overall situation."

At the same time, it is highly disciplined, possessing both the swiftness to curb corruption and the sensitivity to safeguard the overall situation.

This is also why I am willing to recommend Comrade Lü Liang.

Having said all that, Li Dakang, though still somewhat uncomfortable, chose to accept it. As he said before, he might not be very familiar with Lüliang, but if Yi Xuexi were to come to Jingzhou, he would be miserable.

"Since Secretary Chen can praise this Comrade Lü Liang so highly, then I will trust Secretary Chen this once, and believe that Secretary Chen's judgment of people is as sharp as his judgment of economic development!"

Chen Luo smiled, and the two continued to talk about other things, since such a legitimate opportunity to meet was rare.

"By the way, Secretary Dakang, the anti-corruption bureau chief recommended by Secretary Sha is Hou Liangping, the director of the investigation department of the Beijing Anti-Corruption Bureau who directly commanded Chen Hai in the Ding Yizhen incident last time."

Our Comrade Hou Liangping is no ordinary man. He's a graduate of Handong University, a student of Secretary Yu Liang, and most importantly, he married a good wife, ensuring a smooth career path!

Chen Luo's words caused Li Dakang's expression to change rapidly.

"Secretary Chen, who is Hou Liangping's wife?"

Li Dakang couldn't help but ask.

Chen Luo slowly replied, "His wife is Zhong Xiaoai, the deputy director of the Third Supervision Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his father-in-law is even more impressive, Director Zhong of the National Development and Reform Commission, you know him, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang's expression turned serious.

Given this background and the special status of the anti-corruption bureau chief, wouldn't he be able to run rampant and cause chaos in Handong?

Seeing Li Dakang remain silent, Chen Luo stood up.

"Secretary Dakang, let's stop here."

Li Dakang nodded, his expression somewhat gloomy. After leaving the office, the two returned to their respective workplaces.

Meanwhile, in the provincial party secretary's office, Sha Ruijin was also having a conversation with Tian Guofu.

After all, since Lü Liang was being placed in the Discipline Inspection Commission, Sha Ruijin still needed to exchange opinions with Tian Guofu. Of course, even if Tian Guofu disagreed, it wouldn't affect Lü Liang's transfer...

The conversation naturally ended with Tian Guofu smiling and agreeing. Whether it was a superficial agreement or a genuine one, only Tian Guofu himself knew.

After finishing his conversation with Tian Guofu, Sha Ruijin called Director Zhong, who was working in Beijing, to inform him of the news.

It's said that there are no secrets in the provincial party committee compound. The news that Lü Liang was to be transferred has gone from being mere speculation to being practically confirmed. The number of people eyeing the position of director of the anti-corruption bureau is definitely not small. In a short time, everyone has been using their own methods to get ahead.

At Chen Hai's home.

"Hai Zi, the news that Lü Liang is being transferred has been confirmed. Whether you can be reinstated depends on this."

Chen Yanshi clearly had high hopes for Chen Hai's reinstatement, while Chen Hai was restless and felt uneasy.

Unlike Chen Hai, who waits patiently, Lu Yike's family has already started making connections everywhere.

Lu Zheng'an, the military region commander, usually strongly supports the provincial party committee's decisions while maintaining clear boundaries.

This matter, which involves his daughter Lu Yike, made Lu Zheng'an swallow his pride and call a group of standing committee members to discuss the situation.

The presence of the three provincial Party committee standing committee members from the propaganda department, organization department, and united front work department reassured Lu Zheng'an.

With Governor Liu representing the provincial government and Deputy Secretary Gao Yuliang on the side, Lu Zheng'an's prediction was that taking over the position of Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau was practically a sure thing.

Chen Luo was unaware of these things, and Sha Ruijin was equally unaware that Lu Zheng'an had contacted these Standing Committee members privately.

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

Beijing.

At Hou Liangping's home, after returning from get off work, Hou Liangping first asked his son Ranran to do his homework in the study, while Hou Liangping himself put on an apron and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.

Twenty minutes later, Zhong Xiaoai returned home from get off work and heard noises coming from the kitchen as soon as she opened the door.

"Liangping, I have some good news for you!"

Hou Liangping, who was cooking in the kitchen, naturally heard it, but he was clearly not happy. Hou Liangping had not been having an easy time lately. Ever since he investigated and dealt with Zhao Dehan, people had been sending razor blades to his home, which were full of threats.

If it weren't for Zhong Zhengguo's intervention, Hou Liangping's family would have been retaliated against long ago.

"Xiao Ai, what good news has you so excited?"

After carrying the dishes out of the kitchen, Hou Liangping only asked a perfunctory question.

Zhong Xiaoai leaned close to Hou Liangping's ear and whispered, "Just before I was about to leave work, Dad called me and got you a spot in Handong. Guess what it is?"

Thump thump...

Hou Liangping's heart was pounding; this was indeed good news.

"Still at the prosecutor's office?"

Hou Liangping's tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

"That's right! The Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate!"

boom!

The moment Zhong Xiaoai uttered those words, Hou Liangping was completely dumbfounded. Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau? Wasn't that the former position of his "good brother" Chen Hai?

"Really? Xiao Ai, I know that after my college classmate Chen Hai was suspended, the director of the Handong Anti-Corruption Bureau was replaced by a deputy director. How long has it been?"

Hou Liangping was surprised, but even more excited!

As the saying goes, "It's like wearing fine clothes at night if you don't return home in wealth and honor."

If he were to become the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate, Hou Liangping would be unable to contain his excitement when facing Chen Hai and his former classmates.

Chapter 45 Minister Xu's Call

"Don't be too happy yet, Liangping. There are requirements for this trip to Handong. Secretary Sha Ruijin of Handong is willing to transfer you here because he hopes you can be like a sharp knife to tear open the inside story of corruption in Handong. This task will not be easy!"

Hearing his wife say that, Hou Liangping finally calmed down.

"Xiao Ai, don't you know me? Since Secretary Sha Ruijin is willing to use me, I will definitely do my best!"

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai frowned slightly. She really hoped that her husband could be more composed and not cause trouble.

Before Zhong Xiaoai could give any more instructions, Hou Liangping had already served the dishes. Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoai gave up and decided to let her husband be happy for a few days to release the pressure he had been under recently...

three days later.

Hou Liangping entered the unit as usual, but was soon stopped by Qin Siyuan, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Upon arriving at the director's office and sitting down, Qin Siyuan immediately addressed the question that Hou Liangping was most concerned about.

"Comrade Liangping, the organization plans to transfer you to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Handong Procuratorate as its director. I've already asked your wife, Xiao Ai, about this, and she agrees. I've called you here now to ask for your opinion."
