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

Chen Luo, who was also on her way home from get off work, had already anticipated that Lu Zheng'an would call.

"Hey, Commander Lu."

"Secretary Chen, Yike just got back and told us about your work arrangements for the Supervision Office."

Lu Zheng'an spoke calmly, while Chen Luo told the truth.

"Yes, I understand, Commander Lu. I'll have Comrade Lu Yike discuss this matter with you first. This task is of paramount importance to the entire Handong political and legal system!"

There are challenges, difficulties, and opportunities.

I respect Commander Lu and Comrade Lu Yike's choice.

Hearing this, Lu Zheng'an paused for a few seconds.

"Secretary Chen, I'm not calling to dwell on this. My family is not young anymore, and she has her own ideas and ideals, which I, as her parents, support."

I would like to say that if we were to transfer personnel from the public security system, I have some former subordinates and veterans in the armed police force whose party principles and abilities are trustworthy.

Could we consider these first?

Chen Luo understood what Lu Zheng'an meant: to add another layer of security for Lu Yike. This was a good thing. Chen Luo didn't want to see the director of the Supervision Office get into trouble down below. This was also the reason why Chen Luo transferred Lu Yike here. She had abundant resources!

"Hmm, Commander Lu's recommendation is quite good. I will consider it carefully."

"Yes, Secretary Chen. If needed, our provincial military region is willing to send personnel to assist."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo grinned, but his reply remained calm.

"If it's really necessary, I won't hesitate. Thank you again, Commander Lu."

After exchanging a few more casual words, the two hung up the phone.

Before the call with Chen Luo was over, Lu Zheng'an made a call to the Provincial Armed Police Corps.

"Hey Lao Hu!"

Lu Zheng'an was noticeably more relaxed when talking to his old comrade-in-arms than when talking to Chen Luo.

"Old Lu! You're such a busy man, you still have time to call me? That's rare! Tell me, what can I do for you?"

They were old comrades-in-arms, and they could tell what the other was thinking as soon as he opened his mouth. Lu Zheng'an didn't beat around the bush and clearly stated his purpose.

“Okay, this is a good thing. It’s just dealing with some local thugs. I’ll just send some elites to accompany my niece.”

"Okay, thanks Lao Hu. Come over to my place in a few days, it's been a long time since we had a drink together."

Lu Zheng'an kept making phone calls, which showed a father's most genuine concern for his daughter.

After making the call and arranging everything he could, Lu Zheng'an went downstairs. Seeing the mother and daughter chatting enthusiastically, he flashed his big white teeth and sat down next to them to join them.

As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach," and within a day, some astute officials had already sensed the major moves that were about to be made by the political and legal system.

The day of my official inauguration arrived.

Lü Liang was accompanied by Wu Chunlin, the Minister of Organization, to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to announce his appointment, while Lu Yike was accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Organization to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission for his appointment.

Meanwhile, a passenger plane from Beijing landed at Handong International Airport. Hou Liangping, carrying a suitcase and with a smug smile on his face, stepped off the plane.

He was greeted by another deputy minister from the Organization Department.

Sitting in the car, Hou Liangping looked at the streets of Handong and saw that they were completely different from what he had seen last time. In his eyes, even the dogs on the roadside were smiling at him with friendly teeth...

Upon arriving at the procuratorate, Ji Changming, the procurator general, would certainly accompany him during the appointment process.

"Comrade Hou Liangping, Handong welcomes you!"

Ji Changming wore his signature smile, and Chen Hai, standing in the crowd behind him, felt particularly uncomfortable, especially seeing his "good brother" Hou Liangping's blissful smile!

Chapter 53 Brothers are of one heart with you, are you playing tricks on your brothers?

At this moment, Hou Liangping could only describe himself as being surrounded by admirers.

"Good luck with the quarterly inspection!"

Although Hou Liangping is usually carefree and has some flaws, he would never call Ji Changming "Old Ji" in public.

"Well, Comrade Liangping, let me introduce you."

This is Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin Guoping.

Hou Liangping smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello, Prosecutor Lin!"

"This is your partner, Chen Hai, the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. I heard you were college classmates, so I won't go into any more details about you."

When Ji Changming said those words, Chen Hai's expression froze. He really knew how to rub salt in the wound.

"Haha, Hai Zi, we just worked together not long ago, I never thought we'd be fighting side by side again. It's so nostalgic!"

Hou Liangping seemed to be expressing his feelings, but his words struck a nerve with Chen Hai, who could only force a smile in response.

The welcoming ceremony ended hastily, and after the Organization Department announced the appointments, Ji Changming and Lin Guoping both left the Anti-Corruption Bureau's office floor.

In the director's office, Hou Liangping and Chen Hai sat facing each other, except that Hou Liangping was sitting in the director's leather chair, while Chen Hai was sitting in a guest chair.

As fate would have it, Hou Liangping knew as soon as he got out of the car that his "good brother" probably had a problem with him. But Hou Liangping was confident that he could handle Chen Hai, since Chen Hai had never escaped his grasp since college.

"Ugh!"

First came a heavy sigh. Hou Liangping stared intently at Chen Hai, who was sitting opposite him, with a dazed expression, a hint of loneliness, and a look of indignation.

For a moment, Chen Hai was stunned.

"Hai Zi, when you were suspended from your post, I thought it was just a minor punishment. I never expected that the Supreme People's Procuratorate would transfer me to Handong and replace you with a single order."

Now that our positions have been reversed, I'm afraid even brothers like us will develop some resentment.

To be honest, I was originally unwilling to come to Handong to become the bureau chief, as it would affect our brotherly relationship, but alas…

As Hou Liangping paused, Chen Hai's heart visibly sank.

"Unfortunately, the case where you arrested Ding Yizhen also stirred up a hornet's nest in Beijing. My family has been receiving razor blades as threats lately, and I have no choice but to leave Beijing..."

At this point, Hou Liangping gave a wry smile.

Chen Hai believed most of what was said, even though it was only half true.

"Monkey, are those people really so brazen?"

Hearing Chen Hai's question, Hou Liangping knew that Chen Hai had taken the bait, and sighed again.

"It's more than just unbridled..."

"If it weren't for Xiao Ai's father having some connections in Beijing, I probably wouldn't have made it out of the capital alive!"

Hearing this, Chen Haixin felt a pang of guilt and began to forgive Hou Liangping, provided that what Hou Liangping said was true.

"Don't worry about the monkey. Once you're in Handong, you're safe. Here, you have Teacher Gao, Senior Qi, and me and Handong University. Sooner or later, these arrogant and lawless people will be brought to justice!"

"Yes! That's the only way."

Looking at Hou Liangping's dejected expression, Chen Hai felt a pang of pity. He had originally planned to question Hou Liangping about why he had come to Handong to compete with him, but now he had long forgotten about those words.

Even after leaving the director's office, Chen Hai's mind was filled with thoughts of how hard his "good brother" had worked, how his "good brother" hadn't done it on purpose, and how he should be more magnanimous.

Little did anyone know that after he left the office, Hou Liangping's originally sad and dejected expression changed like a Sichuan opera mask, and a bright and triumphant smile filled his brows.

"Chen Hai, Chen Hai, you're still the same. You believe me when I just act. Don't blame me, brother. Everyone is a competitor on the road to progress. I can't stop!"

Besides, with your personality, it would be a waste to give it to you. You might as well give it to me, your brother. After all, it's better to keep the good stuff in the family..."

Shaking his head, Hou Liangping leaned back slightly in the soft chair, closing his eyes to enjoy the brightness of the spacious office and the scent of power.

Unlike Hou Liangping's comfortable life, Lu Yike immediately threw herself into work after being announced her appointment that morning.

First, they got to know all the staff in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office, and then they analyzed everyone's information.

Chen Luo only gave Lu Yike half a month to integrate the personnel of the Supervision Office. During this period, Chen Luo would agree to any personnel adjustments that Lu Yike needed.

Half a month later, Chen Luo will contact and draw on the resources of the public security, procuratorate, court, armed police, provincial discipline inspection commission, and provincial propaganda department to form a joint investigation team to be stationed at the grassroots level in Handong.

With time running out and the task heavy, Lu Yike dared not stop for a moment, analyzing personnel matters from morning till night.

Keep those currently capable in the inspection office, and mark those who lack energy, have weak work ability, poor sense of responsibility, or are inactive or act improperly.

This lasted for seven days.

Nine o'clock in the morning on the seventh day.

Standing at the door of Chen Luo's office, Lu Yike's somewhat tired eyes were filled with a determined light.

"Director Lu, Secretary Chen is inside. You can go in directly."

Secretary Liu Mingyu smiled. In the past few days, Liu Mingyu had been helping Lu Yike deliver personnel adjustment reports to Chen Luo. Over time, the two had become more familiar with each other.

"Yes, thank you, Director Liu."

After thanking her, Lu Yike gently knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

After receiving permission, Lu Yike turned the lock and entered the office.

"Director Lu is here? Please have a seat."

Chen Luo sat up straight and stopped addressing Lu Yike as "Comrade," a sign that the distance between them was closing.

"Yes, Secretary Chen!"

After sitting on the sofa opposite Chen Luo, Lu Yike began to report the purpose of her visit.

"Secretary Chen, I have analyzed all the staff in the Supervision Office. There may be quite a few personnel that need to be adjusted internally... What do you think?"

Chen Luo nodded and said, "It's alright. A bad general makes a bad army. Given the work attitude of the former director of the inspection office, Comrade Ma Shan, it's not surprising that the staff below him developed such a lazy work attitude."

Leave the report here and I'll look at it later. What you need to do now is see if there are any suitable personnel to be transferred in from other departments of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

There are still seven days left. After seven days, I will start contacting various units and strive to go down to the grassroots level within a month!

"Okay, Secretary Chen, I understand."

Lu Yike only sat in the office for three minutes before leaving; time waits for no one!

After Lu Yike left, Chen Luo picked up her personnel adjustment report and examined it carefully.

It must be said that she has the ability to work and is also very meticulous. She summarized the reasons for the adjustments one by one, and her analysis was clear and based on Lu Yike's most honest analysis.
