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

Everyone except Lu Zheng'an agreed, but Lu Zheng'an abstained because he needed to recuse himself...

It was precisely Lu Zheng'an's avoidance that prevented Sha Ruijin from even noticing anything amiss.

With personnel issues discussed, the next step is to discuss some key political matters within Handong Province.

An hour later, the Standing Committee meeting was coming to an end.

"Secretary Sha, I still have something to say about the personnel discussion."

After the political discussion, Gao Yuliang adjusted his glasses, his smile gentle, while Sha Ruijin frowned and then nodded.

"Secretary Yuliang, please speak. We are listening."

"Okay, everyone, speaking of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Comrade Chen Hai, the former director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, has been suspended from his post for almost a month. Although Comrade Chen Hai has been disciplined for his work, our provincial party committee can't keep him suspended indefinitely, can it?"

Our provincial party committee wants to give our comrades a chance to correct their mistakes and start anew.

Gao Yuliang's reasoning is somewhat impeccable.

It's clearly wrong to condemn someone for making a mistake only once.

It's just that none of the people present care about Chen Hai, which is why he hasn't been mentioned recently.

Sha Ruijin originally didn't want to care about Chen Yanshi's son's life or death, but after calming down and thinking about it, he decided not to give others cause for gossip.

He looked at Chen Luo and asked, "Comrade Chen Luo, you are the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Could you give some advice on the reinstatement of Comrade Chen Hai?"

Chen Luo couldn't avoid this matter, but of course he didn't intend to dodge it.

After a moment's thought, Chen Luo feigned difficulty: "Secretary Sha, comrades, there really isn't a suitable position for Comrade Chen Hai in our political and legal system right now. The only one left is the deputy director position in the Anti-Corruption Bureau, but having Comrade Chen Hai step down from director to deputy director... I'm afraid..."

Chen Luo didn't say what he was going to say next, but the meaning was clear: he was afraid Chen Hai wouldn't agree.

"Comrade Chen Luo, there's no need to make things difficult for Chen Hai. He has been disciplined, so it's good to let him continue to develop his skills as deputy director. Just keep his deputy director-level benefits."

I think Comrade Chen Hai is someone who understands the bigger picture and prioritizes the overall situation.

Upon hearing Sha Ruijin's words, Chen Luo finally smiled. Hou Liangping and Chen Hai exchanged positions, how interesting!

Gao Yuliang didn't argue with the result. He had only promised Chen Yanshi that he would do his best, and he had already done his best, hadn't he? Whose fault was it that he didn't get a position?

"Okay, there's no need to vote on the deputy director position. Just have the procuratorate notify Comrade Chen Hai directly."

Meeting adjourned!

As Sha Ruijin finished speaking, everyone stood up, and the meeting came to an end.

Chapter 50 Some are happy, some are sad

As soon as Chen Luo stepped out of the conference room, someone quietly followed him.

"Secretary Chen, Lü Liang is a good comrade!"

"I really have to thank Secretary Chen for transferring me to work in our discipline inspection system."

Tian Guofu smiled broadly, and Chen Luo nodded with a smile in return.

“Secretary Guofu, if anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you, Secretary Guofu. Lü Liang was able to take charge of the work of the Jingzhou Discipline Inspection Commission entirely thanks to Secretary Guofu’s suggestion at the meeting just now.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Guofu's smile deepened.

Looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he leaned closer to Chen Luo and whispered in his ear, "A few days ago, Secretary Sha asked me if Lü Liang was suitable for working at the Discipline Inspection Commission. As soon as I heard that it was Secretary Chen who recommended him, I knew that Comrade Lü Liang was capable of handling the work of the Jingzhou Discipline Inspection Commission!"

After all, I've heard that Secretary Chen's judgment is always spot-on.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two distanced themselves and went back to their respective workplaces.

As the Standing Committee meeting concludes, personnel adjustments in Handong often attract more attention than decisions on major projects.

Less than ten minutes after leaving the meeting room, Gao Yuliang called Chen Yanshi.

"Hello, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yanshi, who was anxiously waiting at home, answered the phone without hesitation when he saw Gao Yuliang calling.

"Yuliang, what's the result? Has our Haizi been reinstated?"

Gao Yuliang paused, sensing the unease in Chen Yanshi's tone. He smiled, but his voice betrayed his sigh. "Old Chen, the situation is not optimistic. Let me give you some good news first: Chen Hai's reinstatement has been resolved."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"but!"

But as soon as Gao Yuliang uttered those two words, Chen Yanshi couldn't help but feel anxious again.

"But what?"

"However, there are currently no vacant positions in the political and legal system for Chen Hai, so Secretary Sha, who came down from the Supreme People's Procuratorate, ultimately decided to promote Hou Liangping to the position of Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

In the end, it was only after Secretary Chen transferred Lu Yike to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office that a deputy director position became available.

Secretary Sha said that Chen Hai was a person who understood the big picture and considered the overall situation, and that it would be good to let Chen Hai retain the deputy director-level treatment and experience in the position of deputy director. So it was decided.

"Alas! Old Chen, it's all my fault!"

Finally, Gao Yuliang couldn't resist adding this remark.

Chen Yanshi's eyes were red even at home!

He disregarded everything else and immediately started cursing.

"Well, this Sha Ruijin is really used to rolling his eyes. With just a few words about being sensible and considering the big picture, he changed my Chen Hai from a full-time position to a deputy position. Give him some experience? Does my Chen Hai need any experience?"

After venting his anger, Chen Yanshi didn't forget to comfort Gao Yuliang.

"Yuliang, this is not your fault. I know you have done your best."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang shook his head. Chen Yanshi might not be able to do anything to Sha Ruijin, but it would definitely be enough to annoy Sha Ruijin. It was just a convenient thing, so why not?

At Chen Yanshi's home.

Chen Yanshi hung up the phone, his face ashen with anger, just as Chen Hai pushed open the door and walked in.

"Dad? How did it go?"

Chen Hai has been visibly down lately. His hair is messy and unkempt, his beard is growing wildly, and he has bruises around his eyes, clearly indicating that he often suffers from insomnia and stays up late at night.

"result?"

Looking at his son's appearance, Chen Yanshi was momentarily reluctant to tell Chen Hai the truth.

"Dad? Did Brother Sha not agree?"

Mentioning Sha Ruijin seemed to touch a key word, and Chen Yanshi shouted directly: "Don't mention that ingrate! Even if he had stopped you time and time again, you wouldn't have such a big brother in the future!"

After saying that, Chen Yanshi slumped onto the sofa.

"Hai Zi, you've been reinstated, and your rank and benefits remain the same, but... but Sha Ruijin still sent Hou Liangping to Handong, leaving you with only the position of deputy director."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hai felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead fly. The key point was not the deputy position, but that he had become Hou Liangping's deputy. The sense of loss brought about by this role reversal was enormous.

For a moment, neither the father nor the son spoke...

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. Compared to Chen Yanshi's family, Lu Yike and Lü Liang, who were waiting for the results at the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, were much calmer.

At this moment, Lu Yike was sitting opposite Lü Liang. When she came to work in the morning, Judge Wu had reminded Lu Yike to get closer to Lü Liang after arriving at the office.

As for the reason... we'll be eating at the same stove soon, so it's understandable that we'd like to get closer.

Lu Yike had been chatting with Lü Liang for the entire morning, and now she understood him a little better. In the past, she had always viewed people with prejudice, thinking that Lü Liang, the deputy director, was rigid. She had to admit that she was being superficial.

We were chatting when my phone rang.

"Director Lü, it's my mother calling."

Lu Yike smiled slightly, and Lü Liang gestured for her to accept the answer casually.

As soon as the call connected, Judge Wu's voice came through.

"Hey, Yike, it's a result. Your request to go to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office has been approved unanimously."

Hearing this, Lu Yike glanced at Lü Liang subconsciously and asked, "Mom, what about Director Lü?"

"Lü Liang? He's even more outrageous than you. Your dad said Lü Liang was directly transferred to the Discipline Inspection Commission, becoming a member of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, a standing committee member, and the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission!"

Sigh, but speaking of which, your Director Lü has had it tough. He's worked so carefully for over a decade, only to have all the credit stolen. This is some kind of compensation, I suppose.

Alright, don't ask any more questions. The Anti-Corruption Bureau's work can't be neglected until the appointment is finalized.

"Secretary Chen agreed to let you go there because of your father, but also because he values ​​your work ability. Do you understand?"

Faced with her mother's words of advice, Lu Yike smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, goodbye Judge Wu!"

"Hey, you kid, not calling me 'Mom' means you're in a good mood, so we don't need to worry. That's all, I'm hanging up now."

Putting away her phone, Lu Yike looked at Lü Liang and said with a smile, "Secretary Lü, congratulations!"

Although Lu Yike didn't turn on speakerphone, Lü Liang still heard most of it.

"Director Lu, congratulations to you too!"

The two smiled at each other, clearly filled with hope for their future and feeling fortunate in the present!

Stepping out of Lü Liang's office, Lu Yike felt the gloom that had enveloped her dissipate. She walked with a confident stride, and her self-assured demeanor surprised Lin Huahua, her little follower.

"Director Lu, what's this?"

Seeing Lin Huahua approaching, Lu Yike patted Lin Huahua on the shoulder and said, "Huahua, you have to be good in the future. Be careful and conscientious in your work at the Anti-Corruption Bureau."

Don't panic in any situation. Follow the organizational procedures and case-handling processes. Ultimately, it's up to you.

This tone was clearly a signal of parting, and Lin Huahua, being no fool, was extremely anxious.

"Director Lu, where are you going? Take me with you!"

Lu Yike was taken aback by what she blurted out, but she still shook her head: "You'll know in a while. As for taking you under my wing, that's not an option for now. I don't have that authority."

Lin Huahua stood there lost in thought, while Lu Yike had already left to work.

Chapter 51 Conversation Before Officially Taking Office

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a few days before I took office.

According to the resolution of the provincial party committee meeting, the personnel transfer and appointment process is already underway, but a talk is still required before the official appointment.
