Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"What?" Chang Junhao smiled slightly and asked, listening to Gao Yuliang's words.

"If anything happens..." Gao Yuliang expressed his concerns.

Chang Junhao understood what to do if something went wrong and there was a conflict between Governor Liu and Chang Junhao.

It's important to know that Governor Liu had never had any contact with Chang Junhao before, and judging from Governor Liu's previous demeanor...

Although not as powerful as Zhao Lichun, he also has his own political aspirations and his own people to cultivate.

Moreover, she wasn't particularly domineering and had always cooperated with Zhao Lichun's work.

Otherwise, even if Zhao Lichun succeeds in everything he does, it wouldn't be a problem to ruin many of his plans.

To have reached this point amidst so many challenges, one must possess both exceptional personal abilities and strong support from behind.

But if you have people you've trained and plans of your own, wouldn't it create a conflict if you joined them now?

If something happens later, even Chang Junhao will have a hard time facing it, since he is the provincial governor. What should Gao Yuliang do then?

"Don't worry!" Chang Junhao smiled.

"Didn't I say that before?"

"Governor Liu wouldn't do that, and that's also part of the reason why I said your progress might not be as good as following Zhao Lichun!"

"Okay, I understand!" Gao Yuliang nodded upon hearing this.

From this perspective, the power behind Chang Junhao is likely much greater than he imagined.

"Hmm!" Chang Junhao finally nodded.

What happened next was truly beyond Chang Junhao's expectations.

Gao Yuliang had indeed gotten on the good side of the provincial governor, and was continuously promoted.

Zhao Lichun initially intended to stop Gao Yuliang and let him know who really called the shots in Handong Province.

Without following Zhao Lichun, you can forget about accomplishing anything—I'm only talking about progress, not development.

Otherwise, if he were to undermine the grand development plan by targeting Gao Yuliang's progress, then he shouldn't even think about continuing to sit in the position of provincial party secretary.

Even if they don't remove him from his position as provincial party secretary, they will definitely transfer him to another place.

However, after rejecting the governor's proposal to promote Gao Yuliang, Zhao Lichun's next two attempts were fraught with difficulties.

Governor Liu is usually quiet and unassuming, but he is not without his own influence.

It's easy to trip up Zhao Lichun. On the surface, they're all friendly, but what they say behind his back is another matter entirely.

In the end, they had no choice but to compromise, but they still managed to have a good talk with Gao Yuliang.

By now, the overall situation for Zhao Lichun's generation has been largely determined.

Even if there is progress, it is unlikely that they will be able to gain too much real power.

Although he had quite a few people under his command, such as Li Dakang and his group, they were all quite good.

However, Zhao Lichun knew Li Dakang's personality all too well.

In Li Dakang's eyes, the most important and crucial thing was his own career and his reputation.

Even offering some assistance is practically impossible.

His use of Li Dakang was simply because of his abilities and the speed of his development.

However, he is still far from being groomed as one's successor. At the very least, he probably wouldn't get involved if any problems arose in one's family in the future.

But another person came into his view: Gao Yuliang.

As for the others, like his secretary, they are not qualified enough, do not have the ability, and there is also the issue of time.

Moreover, the Han University gang is now taking shape, and Gao Yuliang is undoubtedly the most suitable person for it.

As for Zhao Lichun's next generation, his own children, needless to say, none of them are in politics.

If he loses power, his children will definitely be purged.

Left with no other choice, he made some deals with Gao Yuliang, agreeing not to hinder Gao Yuliang's progress.

To some extent, it might even help Gao Yuliang make progress.

However, Gao Yuliang would also owe him a favor, in case anything happened on their side in the future and they needed Gao Yuliang's help.

Of course, this time it's much simpler. Gao Yuliang won't risk his job by taking action; he can just act within his own capabilities.

After Gao Yuliang spoke with Chang Junhao and the others, he did not refuse the offer, but the choice was ultimately up to Gao Yuliang.

When the time comes that Gao Yuliang is needed, it goes without saying that he will be the one who contributes the most.

While they weren't entirely without contributing, since Gao Yuliang was one of their people, they still had to do their part.

But too much is not an option, and with Gao Yuliang's addition, Governor Liu's power has been greatly strengthened once again.

He is fully capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Lichun, but Governor Liu himself is not an assertive person; he only cares about things that are beneficial to development.

He won't fight for everything, and no matter what, he will definitely get his share of the credit in the end.

Time passed gradually, and Li Dakang was soon transferred away, just as originally planned.

Luzhou City has also appointed a new mayor, but this time it's not Chang Junhao himself.

After all, he had just been promoted to executive vice mayor, although he was still a deputy director-level official.

However, he was promoted, and it was impossible for him to be directly promoted to the position of mayor again.

He remains the executive vice mayor, but he has also been added to the standing committee.

However, this new mayor, upon his arrival, was not as assertive as Li Dakang and was suppressed by Gao Yuliang.

Even his power was largely usurped by Chang Junhao. Of course, Chang Junhao would still give the mayor face and let everyone know that he was not a domineering person.

However, if their interests are truly affected, then naturally there's no need to give the mayor any face.

As a result of this development, the development speed of Lüzhou City has also increased rapidly.

Although there are still some historical issues and some pollution, it is still much better than the problems of the old food court.

This is also a necessity for development; to maintain that pace, some sacrifices are simply necessary.

It's impossible for all good things to fall into your lap, but they have made the best preparations and put in the greatest effort.

As time went by, the matter of upgrading Luzhou City to a special administrative region was put on the agenda, but now more than three years have passed.

The mayor was transferred, and Chang Junhao bypassed the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and was promoted to the position of mayor.

Right now, he's only at the level of a department head, but the city is about to be upgraded, and Chang Junhao will probably be able to be promoted directly then.

However, it's not possible to directly promote someone who has just reached the level of a department head to a vice-ministerial level.

The only option is to directly appoint Chang Junhao as the acting mayor. He will hold the position of mayor, but his official rank will still be that of a department-level official.

This situation continued for several years until Gao Yuliang was transferred to the provincial party committee and directly appointed as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Chang Junhao officially took over the post of Secretary of the Party Committee of Luzhou City, becoming a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Luzhou City, a high-ranking official at the vice-ministerial level.

At this time, Li Dakang also took up a new post in Jingzhou City, serving as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Everything is about to begin...
