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

As soon as they stepped off the plane, they saw Guizhou provincial officials who had been waiting for a long time to welcome the inspection team.

The leader was a man in his fifties.

It was Qin Bingjun, the governor of Guizhou Province.

Chen Luo knew that, after all, when he worked in Guangdong Province, the brother province he was paired with for assistance was Guizhou Province.

"Minister Chen! Director Jia welcomes you and your colleagues from the inspection team to Guizhou!"

Qin Bingjun jogged forward, and Chen Luo shook hands with him with a smile.

"Governor Qin, didn't we say there was no need for a welcome?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Bingjun smiled and explained, "Minister Chen, there was no one else to pick you up this time, just me."

Besides, I'm not here to pick you up as the provincial governor, but as a business partner.

"By the way, Secretary Chen originally wanted to come too, but considering that you said there was no need for a grand welcome, he stayed at the Provincial Party Committee."

Chen Luo waved his hand at this explanation, not really caring.

"It's getting late, Comrade Bingjun. Get in the car first. This trip to Guizhou Province is different from two years ago. This time, I'm going to get angry and make some people blush, or even bring them back to Whale City."

Hearing this, Qin Bingjun swallowed hard. He didn't know who it was, but for Chen Luo to come in person, it must be at least a deputy provincial level!

"Minister Chen, Secretary Chen and I will definitely support the work of the inspection team!"

Chen Luo nodded, then looked at Jia Renli and said, "You should say this to Team Leader Jia. I'm just the deputy team leader this time."

This made Qin Bingjun somewhat embarrassed.

After getting into the car, Chen Luo remained silent. He sat on the side, with Jia Renli in the middle and Qin Bingjun next to him.

"Um... Director Jia, I remember you also worked in Guizhou Province?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Renli smiled.

"Yes, it's been seven or eight years. Back then, I was the deputy secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and deputy director of the Provincial Supervisory Commission. Later, because I was too stubborn in investigating cadres with problems, I was disliked by the leaders of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee at the time."

Qin Bingjun had no way to respond to that.

After all, he didn't know much about it.

"By the way, Director Jia, this time... could you please tell us which specific cadre in Guizhou Province is involved in the problem?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Renli shook his head.

“Governor Qin, let’s just forget about it. It’s not that I’m being petty, but let me tell you, if the person runs away, you and I will both have to go to Whale City to explain the situation to Secretary Li in person.”

"Uh... alright, Director Jia, then I won't ask about it for now."

Chapter 538 Dividing the troops into two groups, heading straight for the heart of the enemy.

Although he said he wouldn't interfere, Qin Bingjun was actually very uneasy, as it involved a deputy provincial-level official.

With his hands crossed on his lap, Qin Bingjun glanced at Jia Renli beside him every now and then as the car drove by. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he seemed to want to ask who it was, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Chen Luo witnessed the entire scene.

Pulling back the car window curtain, Chen Luo surveyed the cityscape of Gui City.

"Comrade Bingjun, is Huaguoyuan just ahead?"

I heard it's the largest residential complex in all of Asia. The density is a bit scary; the buildings are packed tightly together, one next to the other.

The buildings are generally around forty stories high, which presents challenges for healthcare, education, sanitation, and environmental management.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Qin Bingjun also sighed.

"Minister Chen, you have also presided over the economic and livelihood work of a province. Indeed, the forty-story buildings in the Huaguoyuan area are currently densely packed, but these are all historical issues."

Guizhou Province is entirely mountainous and hilly, with no plains. Building airport runways required cutting away nearby mountains. In the past, economic development was driven by real estate.

In addition, the entire province's working population has flocked to the provincial capital, causing housing prices to rise significantly in the last decade or so, while people's incomes have grown too slowly, so..."

"So the leadership of Guizhou Province at that time decided on this project? I have read the information about Guizhou Province."

At that time, the average housing price in the surrounding area was around 7000 yuan per square meter. After this community appeared, the opening price was about 3800 to 4000 yuan.

It can be said that the emergence of this community has objectively accommodated many low-income working groups, allowing them to settle down in this city.

However, Comrade Bingjun, if I remember correctly, there are about 310 residential and office buildings of about 40 stories in such a densely populated area.

The large flow of people poses a significant challenge to the staff in your area, so you must remain vigilant at all times.

Especially in fire safety, the impact of a fire in such a densely populated residential area is incalculable!

After listening, Qin Bingjun adjusted his glasses.

"Minister Chen, what you just said was very insightful, and you could say it was like having a keen eye, directly addressing the difficult governance issues."

You are absolutely right. Fire safety in this area must keep up, especially the emergency response plan for high-rise fires, which must be simulated multiple times to ensure that the fire is extinguished as soon as possible and that the lives and property of the people are not threatened.

I will personally oversee and implement these measures in a couple of days!

Chen Luo smiled and nodded.

"Comrade Bingjun, I was just saying, I didn't mean to interfere. After all, you are the actual person in charge of Guizhou Province's economic development and people's livelihood."

"No, no, Minister Chen, the issues you raised do indeed need to be taken seriously. Secretary Chen and I are too grateful to have raised these questions."

Half an hour later, at the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee building.

Standing downstairs, Secretary Chen of Guizhou Province straightened his collar, then looked at the Coaster bus that had slowly come to a stop in front of him and smiled.

The car door opened quickly, but the first person to get off was not Chen Luo, but Jia Renli. Chen Luo was the second to get off, and Qin Bingjun was the third to get off.

"Minister Chen, Director Jia, welcome!"

Looking at Secretary Chen in front of him, Jia Renli felt great admiration, after all, it is very difficult for a woman to reach this position.

"Secretary Chen, we'll have to trouble the comrades in Guizhou Province for the next few days."

"No trouble at all, Director Jia. Guizhou Province is willing to cooperate with the inspection team!"

After greeting Jia Renli, Secretary Chen looked at Chen Luo.

"Minister Chen, this is our first meeting. Welcome to Guizhou Province to provide guidance!"

Chen Luo shook hands with him, but the touch was brief.

"Secretary Chen, this time when we come to Guizhou Province, Director Jia and I will be playing the bad cop. Please don't blame us."

"Minister Chen is joking. The fact that the inspection team has come means that there must be cadres in our Guizhou Province who have committed serious violations of discipline and law. It is I, as the secretary, who feel ashamed."

The person was right under my nose, and I didn't even notice! Sigh!

“Secretary Chen, this is not your fault. Some of our cadres are often professional performers.”

They act one way in public and another way in private. On the surface, they are honest and hardworking, but in private, they are rampant with all kinds of violations of discipline and law.

I am confident that with the cooperation of Secretary Chen and Governor Qin, our inspection team will successfully complete this task!

After exchanging a few more polite words, that was the end of it. Both Qin Bingjun and Secretary Chen were very busy, which Chen Luo understood.

This inspection team did not stay at the military region, but instead conducted its work in an office building of the provincial government.

The place we stayed was a hotel near the provincial government building, which was specifically used to accommodate Chinese and foreign staff.

In the conference room of the office building, Chen Luo and Jia Renli held a meeting to deploy the work of the inspection team. Jia Renli presided over the meeting and made work arrangements.

The meeting lasted a full half hour.

Jia Renli decided to divide the staff into two teams: one team would stay on standby, and the other team would secretly go to Bishi to collect evidence based on the contents of the materials.

In order not to alert the enemy, Jia Renli also planned to go to Huai Ren in Zunyi City to investigate the sewage treatment plant in a high-profile manner.

This made Wu Shenghua, the secretary of Bishi, lower his guard.

Chen Luo naturally chose to respect Jia Renli's decision.

When the meeting ended and only Chen Luo and Jia Renli remained, Jia Renli finally let out a heavy sigh.

“Secretary Chen, it’s really not easy to carry out inspection work in local areas. You have to be both witty and courageous, and you also have to consider the impact.”

Chen Luo smiled upon hearing this.

"Comrade Renli, it's been seven or eight years since you left Guizhou Province. Speaking of which, it seems that Secretary Chen was in charge of political and legal work back then."

Jia Renli immediately understood what Chen Luo wanted to ask.

"Secretary Chen, Secretary Chen did not hinder my work at the time; in fact, he supported me."

However, I also had a problem back then; I was too idealistic.

Over the years, I have come to realize that there are no way to catch all the corrupt officials in this world.

Human nature is inherently selfish...

"We can't catch them all, but it's still necessary to make an example of them. Objectively speaking, the main purpose of the inspection work is to make an example of them, and you understand that."

"Yes! Make an example of them to deter others. This way, those restless guys will have no choice but to withdraw their claws."

Those who have already reached out... will also have some reservations and restrain themselves a bit.

"I'm glad you understand. By the way, when do you plan to go to Zunyi?"

You know what, visiting and seeing sites of revolutionary history is actually beneficial for remembering our mission.

"Secretary Chen, is tomorrow okay? Let the inspection team members rest today."

"Sure, you're the team leader, so you're in charge."

Hearing this, Jia Renli scratched his head.

That's what they say, but what if something really happened...?

I still have to listen to you, right?

However, Jia Renli has a good habit: he is good at keeping quiet.

Chapter 539 No matter what, we still need to send someone to take a look.

In the evening, Chen Luo and Jia Renli went out with four security personnel.
