Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Is it easier to learn a new job?

What's going on here?

Wasn't Yi Xuexi's promotion driven by Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu together?

Of all these people, only Gao Yuliang seemed to understand the situation perfectly.

It seems that Yi Xuexi has really offended Sha Ruijin.

but.

Given Sha Ruijin's level of competence, it's unlikely he would directly dismiss someone in this matter.

Otherwise, wouldn't Sha Ruijin be considered to lack the ability to judge character?

Even if Yi Xuexi argued with Sha Ruijin, or even if he pointed at Sha Ruijin's nose and scolded him, he couldn't be forcibly dismissed in less than a month.

Sha Ruijin must have other plans.

Gao Yuliang understood this point and tentatively asked:

"Comrade Guofu, Yi Xuexi may lack some abilities, but he can shine in a suitable position. We can't condemn him outright."

Upon hearing Gao Yuliang's words, Sha Ruijin's expression visibly relaxed.

He asked with great interest:

"Comrade Yuliang, where do you think Yi Xuexi would be a good fit?"

"That depends on what Secretary Ruijin thinks," Gao Yuliang said with a smile.

Sha Ruijin looked around at everyone again and, realizing that no one would continue to express their opinion,...

He then stopped concealing his true intentions and said:

"I believe that Yi Xuexi is not suited to managing the economy, but he is suited to managing discipline. Coincidentally, Zhang Shuli, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou, is a weak discipline inspection cadre. Therefore, I propose that Yi Xuexi and Zhang Shuli switch places: Yi Xuexi would serve as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou, and Zhang Shuli would serve as the deputy secretary and acting mayor of Lüzhou."

Sha Ruijin's words sparked another discussion among Liu, Gao, and Xia.

Among them, Gao Yuliang was the most supportive.

He knew that Yi Xuexi's intentions were not good, but fortunately he was careful and meticulous in his work and did not let Yi Xuexi find anything wrong. That's why they only demolished the food court and did not hold him accountable.

Now, by transferring Yi Xuexi to Li Dakang, it will be a good opportunity for this domineering and tyrannical leader to experience what it feels like to have a knife to his throat.

As for Zhang Shuli...

Could it be about the future plans for Crescent Lake?

Yi Xuexi held off Sha Ruijin, preventing him from making any moves.

Sha Ruijin then replaced Zhang Shuli, a weak and easy-going man, with Zhang Shuli to facilitate the subsequent development of projects around Crescent Lake.

The more Gao Yuliang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He sneered inwardly. This seemingly upright and impartial Secretary Sha Ruijin was also a master of underhanded tricks.

Fine, since you're going to do it this way, it has nothing to do with me.

The food court issue is temporarily over; the future plans and arrangements depend on Sha Ruijin's strategies.

However, Gao Yuliang could not be the first to agree.

His own goals were too ambitious, and he was also the approver of the food court project.

If Gao Yuliang immediately agrees to replace Yi Xuexi now, it will inevitably seem like he has ulterior motives.

Don't go looking for trouble.

Governor Liu glanced at Gao Yuliang and Xia Qing, and also analyzed Yi Xuexi and Zhang Shuli, as well as the entanglements behind them.

After thinking it over, he stated:

"I fully agree with Comrade Ruijin's proposal. I look forward to the chemistry between Comrade Yi Xuexi and Comrade Li Dakang. As for Comrade Zhang Shuli, I also hope that the complex and sensitive position of Deputy Secretary of Luzhou will help him hone his qualities of being tough, courageous, and responsible."

After Governor Liu finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Yuliang and Xia Qing without making a sound.

At almost the same time, the two made their statements:

"I agree with Comrade Ruijin's proposal."

"I agree with Secretary Sha's arrangement."

Hearing this attitude, Sha Ruijin visibly breathed a sigh of relief, closed his notebook, and said:

"Alright, thank you all for your hard work. We'll proceed with the matter according to our proposed plan. Please have the Organization Department handle it and submit it to the Standing Committee for approval. Guofu, you go and talk to Comrade Yi Xuexi. As for me, I'll personally go and talk to Comrade Dakang."

Xia Qingdao:

"Okay, Secretary Sha."

Tian Guofu nodded as well:

"no problem."

Then, the five-person group meeting ended.

The rest of the process went very smoothly.

Zhang Shuli and Yi Xuexi completed their respective appointments within three days.

Although Li Dakang was extremely dissatisfied with Yi Xuexi's arrival, in order to express his attitude to Sha Ruijin, he forced a smile and agreed during the conversation.

As for Zhang Shuli, he was happy when he took office because he was finally free from Li Dakang's oppression and could breathe a sigh of relief in his new position as the second-in-command of Luzhou.

A few days later, all the work in Handong continued as usual.

Xia Qing is preparing to attend the talent recruitment press conference, something she had promised Vice Minister Chen Hui.

The press conference was held at 3 p.m. In the morning, the Organization Department was noticeably busier, with cadres moving back and forth in and out of the office building.

Several documents were laid out on Xia Qing's desk, and Zheng Yong from the Policy Research Office stood beside her.

Xia Qing carefully reviewed the speech draft from the afternoon session. After a long while, she smiled and said to Zheng Yong:

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's use this version. I remember you revised it seven or eight times. It wasn't easy."

Zheng Yong said embarrassedly:

"I apologize, Minister. It was our fault for not understanding your intentions accurately..."

Xia Qing reached out and interrupted:

"No need to say that. Nobody can read minds, so how can anyone accurately grasp someone's intentions? I've always had great confidence in the writing quality of the Policy Research Office. Keep up this style and write boldly!"

Encouraged by Xia Qing's words, Zheng Yong stood up straight with excitement and said:

"Thank you, Minister!"

After Zheng Yong left, Xia Qing saw the office door close and quickly stood up and stretched.

Just then, the landline rang.

Xia Qing glanced at the caller ID and saw it was an office number from Luzhou. He slowly answered and said:

"Feed?"

"Minister, it's me, Kang Le. I have something important to report to you." The caller was Kang Le, the one who had been sent from the ministry a few days ago to serve as the deputy director of the Luzhou City Land and Resources Bureau, a position that would eventually become a substantive deputy division-level post.

Xia Qing heard Kang Le's voice and joked:

"Director Kang! What important situation has arisen?"

"Minister, please don't make fun of me. I'm your soldier, the kind who'll go wherever you tell me to go!" Kang Le said, then changed the subject seriously.

"Minister, the bureau just received a notification that after the Crescent Lake Food City is demolished, a resort hotel will be built on the original site, and the area around Crescent Lake will be developed into an eco-resort. The contractor has been selected, and we are asked to coordinate and register the project promptly..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing frowned and said:

"Hotels? Resorts? Food courts were demolished precisely because of environmental issues, so why build these places? Won't that still cause environmental problems?"

Xia Qing didn't mean that the food court was demolished because it failed to meet environmental standards when she said this.

Previously, Yi Xuexi investigated the food court in order to attack Gao Yuliang and the Zhao family; environmental protection was just a high-sounding excuse.

But now, the food court has just been demolished, and Luzhou City is already rushing to continue construction projects on Crescent Lake. What about the environmental protection? How can they explain this to the outside world?

Don't the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government even use their brains?

Kang Le naturally understood Xia Qing's implied meaning and lowered his voice to say:

"Minister, this is exactly what I wanted to report. I've heard that this eco-resort is the idea of ​​the province..."

The provincial level?

Handong Province?

I've never heard of that!

Xia Qing quickly asked a crucial question:

"As far as I know, the food court isn't even completely demolished yet, is it? They've already chosen a company to take over in such a short time, and I haven't heard of any bidding process being held in the province?"

Kang Le immediately replied:

"Minister, the bidding process wasn't followed! The decision to select this company was made through a 'special case' arrangement by the province..."
