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

The appointment time was set in advance, so it was quite tight.

Chen Luo felt a little uncomfortable visiting Gao Yuliang's office for the first time.

Guided by his secretary, Chen Luo arrived at the office door and gently knocked. Gao Yuliang's voice came from inside.

"Comrade Chen Luo is here? Please come in!"

Chen Luo walked into the house with a smile.

Gao Yuliang's deputy secretary's office was simply decorated, but it contained a considerable number of books, giving it a scholarly feel.

"Secretary Yuliang, I have a proposal here that needs to be reviewed by the Provincial Party Committee."

"Okay, Secretary Chen, let me take a look first. Please wait a moment."

Gao Yuliang's businesslike attitude rendered Chen Luo's prepared responses useless.

About ten minutes later, Gao Yuliang put down the proposal in his hand and showed a warm smile.

"Comrade Chen Luo, your Political and Legal Affairs Commission's idea is excellent! The main reason why it is difficult to promote the rule of law at the grassroots level is that local governments are deeply entrenched and relationships run rampant."

If this can be accomplished, it will be a great step forward for the development of the legal system in Handong!

I agree to this plan, but it still needs Secretary Sha's signature before it can be issued.

"It's alright, Secretary Yuliang. Our political and legal system is still preparing, we can wait."

"Yes, indeed. Although Comrade Chen Luo is young, his patience is no less than that of us older comrades."

"His work ability is also strong. During his time in Handong, the legal environment in Handong has continued to improve. Even I, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, feel ashamed!"

Chen Luo continued to smile.

"At that time, Secretary Yuliang had a heavy burden on his shoulders, so it was normal that he did not notice some inconspicuous problems."

Secretary Yuliang, there's no need for you to feel ashamed. It's me, a young person, who should be learning more from you.

Gao Yuliang wanted to continue testing the waters, but Chen Luo had already lost interest.

To be honest, a bookish air is no good in officialdom. When you're talking about business, you should talk about business. Don't be coy and ramble on. This is officialdom, and it can be deadly!

"Secretary Yuliang, I'm sorry, but I still have some work to do at the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. Now that the plan has been approved, I'll head back to work."

The need to handle all the work made Gao Yuliang hesitate for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, then Comrade Chen Luo, please get back to work."

After leaving Gao Yuliang's office, Chen Luo shook his head. Some endings were destined from the beginning.

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

Just as Chen Luo was finally able to take a break, in Class 1, Grade 5 of Jingzhou No. 1 Primary School, two small figures got tangled up, and in no time one of them had a bruised and swollen face.

Kids cry when they're in pain.

The homeroom teacher arrived quickly to handle the situation.

"Zhengshu, why did you get into a fight with Chen Dong?"

Looking at Chen Zhengshu, who remained calm, and Chen Dong, who was lying on the ground crying, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhu, patiently inquired about their situation.

"Hehe, Teacher Zhu, that's easy. Chen Dong got punished by the school for dirtying the school wall while playing football and had to have his parents called in. This naughty boy thinks it was my brother who told on him."

My brother said no, and he attacked first. Would my brother tolerate that? Two punches later, Chen Dong was lying on the ground crying.

Chen Zhengxi, with a lollipop in his mouth, looked at his brother and almost gave him a thumbs up.

Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhu, couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of situation is very common.

Usually, the solution is to call the parents to the school to discuss and resolve the issue.

"Chen Dong's parents will probably be at school soon. Zheng Shu, you should call them over to deal with this as well."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengshu frowned. This was the first time in his life that his parents had been asked to come to the meeting...

"Hahaha! Bro, you're dead meat if Mom finds out!"

Chen Zhengxi didn't forget to fan the flames from the sidelines.

"Chen Zhengxi, you can't escape either. Spit out that lollipop. Perfect timing, your parents are coming, so we can talk about you. You're always at school with a lollipop in your mouth, and you're always stirring up fights among your classmates. You're just as naughty!"

In an instant, Chen Zhengxi stopped laughing...

"Ahem, Teacher Zhu, does it really have to be this way?"

"It's absolutely necessary!"

"I'm doomed, bro!"

Chen Zhengxi kept shaking Chen Zhengshu's arm, and by chance, he accidentally clicked on the phone watch on Chen Zhengshu's wrist.

When the call was made, Chen Luo, who was resting in the provincial party committee office, immediately got up to check the caller ID.

He frowned when he saw that it was his son calling. Usually, he would call his mother if he needed anything during the school term.

Although he found it strange, Chen Luo still answered the phone.

"Hey, Zhengshu, is there something you need to call Dad about?"

The smartwatch had a built-in hands-free function, and in an instant, Chen Zhengxi stopped shaking it, leaving both siblings stunned.

"Dad...I..."

Before Chen Zhengshu could finish answering, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhu, spoke up.

"Hello, is this Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi's father? I'm their homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhu."

Hearing this, Chen Luo could hardly believe his ears...

Chapter 56 No coincidence is too much to tell; Hou Liangping is reprimanded.

The main reason for Chen Luo's surprise was that Teacher Zhu's tone was somewhat serious, and Chen Luo knew his son's personality well.

"Hello, Teacher Zhu, I am Chen Luo, the father of Zhengshu and Zhengxi!"

Chen Luo's pronunciation was very clear, and Teacher Zhu quickly replied, "Hello Mr. Chen, are you busy right now?"

Chen Luo checked the time: 3:20 PM.

"No rush, Ms. Zhu, please speak your mind."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, it's like this, Zhengshu had a conflict with a classmate at school, but it wasn't Zhengshu's fault. It's just that a fight did happen, so both sets of parents need to come to the school to handle it. There's also the issue of Chen Zhengxi."

After listening, Chen Luo immediately inquired about the two siblings.

"Zhengshu, did you suffer a loss?"

Before Chen Zhengshu could reply, Chen Zhengxi interrupted to answer.

"Dad, my brother is amazing! He made that bad boy Chen Dong cry with just two punches, hehe... Dad, can you please not let Mom come to school?"

Chen Luo couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, I understand.

Tell your teacher, Ms. Zhu, that I'm coming to the school right now to handle this.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo left the provincial party committee building and, instead of using the official car, took a taxi directly to the school.

At 3:50 p.m., Chen Luo entered Jingzhou No. 1 Primary School. It was his first time there, so he looked around carefully. The school environment was nice, and the infrastructure was also very well-developed.

When Chen Luo arrived at the fifth-grade office, he knocked on the door before pushing it open and entering.

As soon as Chen Luo entered the house, he saw Chen Zhengxi with her head down, picking at her fingers. Only when she saw him did the little girl call out "Daddy!" and rush to Chen Luo, hugging his legs tightly with both hands and whining incessantly...

"dad!"

Chen Zhengshu wasn't as energetic as Chen Zhengxi; he simply walked quickly to Chen Luo's side.

After patting the two little ones on the head, Chen Luo walked towards their homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhu.

Chen Luo's well-fitting administrative jacket, combined with his usual imposing presence, made Teacher Zhu feel even more nervous than when she saw the principal, especially the Party emblem hanging on Chen Luo's left chest, which still shone brightly even without the sunlight!

"Hello, Teacher Zhu!"

Chen Luo smiled and extended his hand. Although Teacher Zhu was taken aback for a moment, she still stood up and shook hands with Chen Luo.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

"Teacher Zhu, could you please tell me about my son Zhengshu and Zhengxi in detail?"

Currently, Chen Dong's parents are still in the principal's office with their child dealing with the issue of the dirty wall. Teacher Zhu is naturally willing to cooperate with Chen Luo's request.

After listening to Teacher Zhu recount what had happened, Chen Luo nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Zhengshu, be more decisive next time. A wise man keeps his weapons hidden and does not act unless it is evil or good. Your father and mother will not blame you. Show some courage!"

Listening to Chen Luo's instructions to Chen Zhengshu, Teacher Zhu felt hesitant to speak, after all, the principle was just that.

"I understand, Dad!"

Clearly, Chen Luo's words boosted Zheng Shu's confidence, and he spoke with more force.

After giving Chen Zhengshu his instructions, Chen Luo looked at Chen Zhengxi, who was still clinging to his leg.

"Girl, you don't want me to tell your mom that you ate lollipops at school and encouraged your classmates to fight, do you?"

In an instant, Chen Zhengxi wore a bitter expression.

"Dad, this is a blatant threat, waaaaah!"

"If you say so, then so be it. You've done this to your brother quite often before. It's just a boomerang, you know what I mean?"

"Okay, Dad. I'll behave at school from now on, I won't cause trouble or incite my classmates..."

"Yes, Dad believes you!"

Throughout the entire conversation, Ms. Zhu only looked at Chen Luo and the two little ones and spoke to them. As for the reason, she simply couldn't muster the courage to let this family of three listen to her educational philosophy.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

A man around forty years old walked in, followed by Chen Dong, who was a little shorter than Chen Zhengshu. Then came the female principal of the First Elementary School.

Hou Liangping looked around at the people in the office, and when his gaze fell on Chen Luo, he felt that he seemed somewhat familiar.

However, the fleeting thought ultimately didn't take hold.
