Official career: From director to secretary, I want to improve myself

At night, the family compound of the Standing Committee of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.

The armed police soldiers at the door checked the documents and contacted the provincial party committee’s family compound before letting the car in.

Lee Kuan Yew didn't feel anything. The security work of the provincial party committee's family compound was jointly carried out by the Armed Police Corps and the Security Bureau of the Provincial Party Committee General Office. Even he, the director of the Public Security Department, had to be checked when entering and leaving!

The special car soon arrived at Villa No. 2, a two-story villa with a small garden, and the area did not exceed the standard regulations.

Governor Zhu Guangquan settled his family in the imperial capital. There was only a nanny who cleaned and cooked in his villa, and his secretary also lived outside.

After saying hello to the nanny who was cleaning on the first floor, Lee Kuan Yew went up to the study on the second floor.

"Here they are? You guys from the Public Security Bureau are making quite a big fuss!"

Lee Kuan Yew walked into the study and sat on the sofa opposite Zhu Guangquan.

On the small table in front of me, a cup of hot tea is emitting a faint fragrance.

"Secretary, we have no choice. We come here to ask for your help!" Lee Kuan Yew said with a wry smile. He had followed Zhu Guangquan for many years, starting from when he was deputy mayor. At that time, Zhu Guangquan was deputy mayor and he was the director of a political department of the Municipal Bureau.

He then left Fujian Province and went north to Jiangnan Province to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee. He became the Director of the Hangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Going north to Handong Province, he became the director of the Public Security Department. He then became the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and now he has taken over the work of the provincial government!

He can be said to be Zhu Guangquan's true descendant.

They've always had a close relationship, and even though he's no longer the secretary, he still calls him "secretary." The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is also a secretary, after all! And he only calls him that when they're talking.

"You're not coming here to ask for a position for Jiang Yuan, are you? I know you called him to your office directly after the meeting, which attracted a lot of attention! Bro, you did this on purpose!"

Zhu Guangquan looked at him and smiled, saying that he understood Lee Kuan Yew's thoughts.

Everyone knew that their fellow disciples were planning to focus on training Jiang Yuan, and those close to them also began to place bets. They didn't really place a huge bet, but they still had some support.

Mu Congjun had previously decided to promote Jiang Yuan to the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, saving him three years of travel.

Lee Kuan Yew's action was also to show his optimism towards Jiang Yuan, and to support him in reducing his troubles. This was also a gesture of goodwill.

"Secretary, I have no intention of transferring Jiang Yuan!" Lee Kuan Yew waved his hands repeatedly. Although Zhu Guangquan did not directly intervene in Jiang Yuan's training, there were obvious traces of his arrangements.

It wasn't that easy for Mu Congjun to get promoted, not to mention that he is currently serving as the municipal party secretary of Lincheng City. In fact, Lincheng City is not qualified to have a member of the Standing Committee serve as the municipal party secretary!

In about a year, he will be transferred to the provincial government to serve as a standing vice governor or executive vice governor!

Zhu Guangquan must be behind this.

"I came here this time to ask for help from the Secretary and the Provincial Party Committee! This case has such a bad impact and has spread so widely. Millions of people in Jingzhou are now in panic, and women are afraid to go out at night! The Public Security Bureau and Jingzhou are under great pressure. However, some of the things Jiang Yuan said to me today made me look at this case in a new light. We are having difficulty solving the case now, and perhaps arresting the perpetrators is even more difficult!"

"Oh? Tell me in detail!"

Zhu Guangquan was immediately interested by his words. It was strange that even the Director of the Public Security Department felt that it might be difficult to arrest someone.

"Today, Jiang Yuan mentioned several characteristics of the murderer. First, he had studied abroad. Second, he had a gun. Third, there was probably someone behind him..."

Lee Kuan Yew repeated Jiang Yuan's analysis, but he also repeated what Jiang Yuan said at the end: now is not the time to really reach that point.

"You two are really bold! The garrison's firearms management is definitely better than ours, so there's no need to worry about that."

"Secretary, it's not that we're worried. It's just that our criminal investigations are all about bold assumptions and careful verification! We do have emotional faith in the garrison's management, but rationally, every system has its flaws, and some individuals have privileges. This is undeniable."

"Including within our public security system, if there is really no progress in this case, I will also conduct a thorough investigation!"

A cold light flashed in Lee Kuan Yew's eyes. Zhu Guangquan was able to know the content of their afternoon meeting in the evening. As the director of the Public Security Department, how could he not know the situation within his own system?

After a moment's silence, Zhu Guangquan finally spoke.

"Okay, but internal investigations and garrison investigations are definitely the last resort, and the provincial party committee must also reach a consensus. And, honestly, can this case really reach such a level? Unless Jingzhou City is unstable, Secretary Zhao probably won't do what you envision."

"not worth it!"

Lee Kuan Yew also remained silent!

Zhu Guangquan's words are harsh and hurtful, but they are very realistic.

The secretary is in charge of a province with a population of tens of millions, and is concerned with the economic development of a city, the livelihoods of millions of people, or the rise and fall of an industry. I'm afraid that a homicide case would not reach his ears at this time.

To put it bluntly, many people die in a province every day. If this case was not so serious that it alarmed the provincial departments and ministries, the bigwigs in the provincial party committee might not have paid any attention to it.

Completely different levels!

The secretary went to the military district headquarters to ask for an investigation into the weapons management of the field troops directly under it, which was something that would offend people.

"I understand, Secretary. We are all civil servants with our own responsibilities and obligations. Our duty at the Public Security Bureau is to ensure justice for every wronged soul! In the grand scheme of things, we also obey orders!"

"it is good!"

This is a qualified Public Security Bureau Director!

Zhu Guangquan's eyes were filled with satisfaction and praise. For so many years, he had admired Director Li's sense of justice! And it had not diminished even after he had ascended to a high position.

He doesn’t care about the interests of the people just because he has become a high-ranking official!

"Don't worry! Secretary Zhao and I will strengthen communication, and the other members of the Standing Committee should also agree." Zhu Guangquan smiled. Perhaps he and Zhao Lichun would not cooperate so well in the next work.

After all, the two of them are not the same person!

Moreover, if the two leaders and deputy leaders of a province cooperate too closely, the higher-ups will not feel at ease.

"Since we're going to investigate, let's start preparing in advance! Jiang Yuan proposed this idea, so let him take the lead. The Public Security Bureau should prepare people, and I will contact the National Security Bureau. Since we're going to investigate, let's do it seriously!"

"The one in front has been transferred, but the people he left behind are still here!"

"Given the example of his son, I don't believe these people are honest. From top to bottom, from the open to the covert, if anyone is breaking the law, we will eliminate them!"
