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

Chapter 58 Young Cadres Eager for Progress

"Yes, just keep this in mind."

However, opportunities and challenges coexist.

Going down to the grassroots level to do this kind of thing can easily offend some powerful figures there. They don't follow the rules, so you have to be careful!

Yang Yanhua originally didn't want Lin Huahua to get involved, but Lin Huahua came to her door saying she wanted to continue working under Lu Yike, so Yang Yanhua brought up the matter.

"Hehe, don't worry, Auntie, I'll just stick close to Director Lu and be careful."

"Hahaha, you slippery little devil."

The next morning, as soon as Chen Luo arrived at his office, his secretary Liu Mingyu came over to report the news.

"Secretary Chen, Director Bai, Secretary Sha's secretary, just asked me to inform you that Secretary Sha wants to see you at 9:30. Specifically, it's about Director Lu's proposal."

"Okay, I see."

After saying that, Chen Luo continued reading the documents. It was obvious that Sha Ruijin also wanted to get a share of the profits.

At 9:30, Chen Luo arrived at Sha Ruijin's office on time.

As soon as he entered, Sha Ruijin smiled and asked Chen Luo to sit down.

"Comrade Chen Luo, your Political and Legal Affairs Commission's proposal is excellent! Grassroots governance issues have been troubling the higher-ups for a long time. If this plan can be truly implemented, its contribution to the legal environment at the grassroots level in Handong will be a leap forward!"

"Yes, Secretary Sha, but I can't say I've made any contributions. I'm the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. The organization sent me to Handong, and this is simply my job responsibility."

"Comrade Chen Luo, your words are profound."

But is using only the name of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission insufficient to deter those below? Should we use the name of the Provincial Party Committee instead?

Only in this way can those at the grassroots level truly understand that our provincial party committee is serious!

Chen Luo cursed inwardly for pushing his luck.

“Secretary Sha, I think this is inappropriate. Whether this matter can be accomplished is still a question mark. If the work is not done properly, the grassroots will think that our provincial party committee is just so-so, all bark and no bite, and they will become even more unscrupulous in the future.”

Let our Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office take the lead; that way, any negative impact will be less noticeable.

For a moment, the scene froze.

"Comrade Chen Luo, I heard that you had some conflict with our new director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate when you picked up your child from school yesterday?"

Sha Ruijin quickly changed the subject, and Chen Luo replied with a smile, "Secretary Sha's information is very accurate."

Our anti-corruption bureau chief is quite arrogant, flaunting his position and acting like a big shot at the school. Perhaps he's a bit too excited about his new role. I've already asked Comrade Changming from the procuratorate to give this Director Hou a reprimand.

"Yes, criticism and education are indeed necessary."

Comrade Hou Liangping is a sharp knife, capable but also with many problems. The fact that Comrade Chen Luo is willing to give him a chance to correct them shows that Comrade Chen Luo is meticulous in his work.

"Therefore, as you suggested, your Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office will take the lead. If the results are good, our Provincial Party Committee will then expand the publicity."

This solution is clearly a compromise between the two sides.

"Okay, Secretary Sha, we'll proceed with this plan!"

"Okay, I've already signed the document. This afternoon, I'll have the comrades from the General Office distribute it to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the agencies that have been seconded to it. Comrade Chen Luo, your Political and Legal Affairs Commission is very busy, so you should go back to work first."

Goodbye, Secretary Sha!

After saying goodbye, Chen Luo left Sha Ruijin's office. Based on the conversation just now, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Luo had something on Hou Liangping, Sha Ruijin would have really wanted to forcefully seize control of the project.

Unfortunately, Hou Liangping was not very helpful, leaving Sha Ruijin with no choice but to compromise.

After the document was issued in the afternoon, relevant departments that sensed an opportunity were already secretly stirring up activity.

Chen Luo was looking at the documents when the phone rang.

"Hello, Senior Yang?"

With no one around and not engaged in face-to-face work communication, Chen Luo addressed him in a more intimate manner.

"Is the junior busy right now?"

"No, I'm just sitting here looking at some documents."

"Okay, I'm calling because I need a favor. Your Political and Legal Affairs Commission has been making some big moves lately, right? Ever since Lu Yike was transferred, Hua Hua has been distracted at work."

I wanted to continue working with Lu Yike, but Hua Hua just called me and said she asked if Lu Yike could participate in this big event. As a result, Director Lu was very selective and said that whether or not he could get in required my approval.

I had no choice but to swallow my pride and make this call.

Chen Luo smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"You're too kind, senior. Lin Huahua is probably a good thing. Going to the grassroots level to gain experience will benefit her. However, this operation is somewhat dangerous, don't you think?"

“It’s alright. This girl said she’s a Party member and cadre, and she’s not afraid of danger or difficulties.”

"Okay, let her come!"

Chen Luo would naturally not refuse to give face for such a trivial matter.

"Thank you, junior. I'll hang up now. You can continue reading the documents."

Just after hanging up the phone, Lu Yike arrived at Chen Luo's office door, ready to give a report.

dong dong dong...

"Enter!"

After Lu Yike pushed open the door and entered, she sat down in the guest chair opposite Chen Luo with ease.

"Secretary Chen, the document just came down, and people who want to join have been calling me nonstop."

Listening to Lu Yike's complaints, Chen Luo smiled faintly.

"It's surprising that our comrades, who are usually not very enthusiastic about their work, are now all willing to go to the grassroots level."

What specific departments are included?

Chen Luo asked out of curiosity, and Lu Yike immediately spilled everything out like beans.

"Besides those who can be associated with the public security, procuratorate, court, discipline inspection commission, and propaganda departments, people from the forestry department, agriculture department, and even finance department also want to join."

They treated us as grassroots poverty alleviation workers, and I refused all these unrelated requests.

However, I think some of the requests for coordination from the public security bureau, procuratorate, court, discipline inspection commission, publicity department, and provincial government are reasonable and useful, so I've noted them down for Secretary Chen to decide.”

Chen Luo smiled helplessly as he took the thick stack of resumes from Lu Yike; they were all people eager to improve.

"Okay, just leave it here. I'll keep an eye on it. Come back and pick it up at this time tomorrow."

"Yes, Secretary Chen!"

After Lu Yike left, Chen Luo began to carefully review the resumes. Those who had proactively submitted their resumes were all ambitious and driven cadres. If there were any suitable candidates, Chen Luo would not mind giving them a chance.

An hour later, Chen Luo had reviewed nearly half of the resumes. Some were good, some were bad, and Chen Luo had already selected thirteen resumes that he felt were good.

Time slipped away little by little...

In the end, Chen Luo selected a total of thirty-eight people, some from the political and legal system and others from other systems. Remember, these people were beneficial to Chen Luo.

In the future, when they take charge of the work in the block, these cadres with good resumes will be Chen Luo's strongest subordinates, provided that they can pass the tests in terms of discipline and party spirit.

Chapter 59 The Problems at Dafeng Factory Begin to Emerge

At the Mountain and Water Manor, on the golf course, a man and a woman were strolling along.

"Dean Chen, when will the verdict regarding Dafeng Factory be delayed? Cai Chenggong is already insolvent. According to the contract, shouldn't the shares of Dafeng Factory be transferred to our Shanshui Group by the judgment?"

Gao Xiaoqin's tone carried a hint of complaint. This matter could have been handled simply by going through the proper procedures, but Chen Qingquan, the vice president of the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court, had been dragging his feet for a while.

So, Zhao Ruilong urged her, and she had no choice but to urge Chen Qingquan instead.

"President Gao, you know I was severely criticized by the newly arrived Secretary Chen of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission a month ago. Is it inappropriate to make a judgment at this critical juncture?"

"Inappropriate? This judgment is a reasonable and compliant demand of our Shanshui Group. It's not like we forced Cai Chenggong to use his shares as collateral for a loan."

Chen Qingquan's expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing this. They were all in the same boat, and Chen Qingquan also knew a little about the truth behind this matter.

"Mr. Gao, please don't make things difficult for me."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Dean Chen, although our manor no longer has those miscellaneous projects, we still have two blonde, blue-eyed beauties from the Far East in Handong. They are far more outstanding than your own channels. Don't you want to give them a try, Dean Chen?"

This was an offer of bribes. Chen Qingquan swallowed hard, suppressing the urge to agree and stubbornly refusing to budge.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoqin's patience also reached its limit.

"Dean Chen, let me tell you the truth."

It's not that I'm urging you to do this; it's that my backer, Zhao Ruilong, is urging you to do it.

Because of the food city project in Luzhou, Young Master Zhao lost some money and wants to make it back.

If you don't agree, I'll have to give the contents of the conversation to Young Master Zhao. You know his personality!

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingquan couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He knew perfectly well what he had done over the years, and he also understood Zhao Ruilong's methods.

"Sigh! Mr. Gao, I'll handle this as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoqin smiled again.

"That's right, that's the kind of good dean our people should have. Those two beauties from the Far East will accompany you when you leave later."

After Gao Xiaoqin finished speaking, Chen Qingquan's last shred of reason vanished without a trace.

Three days later, the Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court issued a judgment on the dispute over the shares of Dafeng Factory.

The contract clearly stated that Cai Chenggong, the factory manager of Dafeng Factory, borrowed 50 million yuan from Shanshui Group as bridge financing, using Dafeng Factory's shares as collateral. When he failed to repay the loan on time, the court naturally ruled that the shares belonged to Shanshui Group.

Upon hearing the news, the workers at Dafeng Factory were outraged. The shares of Dafeng Factory were jointly held by the workers and the factory owner, but Cai Chenggong had quietly mortgaged the shares.

These workers had not signed, agreed to, or seen any of the mortgaged money being paid out. Enraged, the workers at Dafeng Factory began to relentlessly defend their rights.

Chen Luo didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to the Dafeng Factory matter for the time being. In the past few days, with the issuance of the provincial party committee's document, the joint investigation team led by the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office has basically taken shape, with a total of nine investigation teams set up.

Each investigation team consists of twelve people, including one reporter, one staff member of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the rest are comprehensive investigators.

Lu Yike was appointed as deputy commander-in-chief, and Chen Luo was appointed as commander-in-chief!
