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

(In the nominal world, we reject AI, we reject AI, we reject AI. I'll say it three times because it's important.)

Inside the mayor's office in Suzhou.

A hint of fatigue flashed across Chen Luo's resolute face. He had been holding research meetings for several days in a row, making overall arrangements for the work of Suzhou City in the next quarter.

Just as Chen Luo picked up the hot tea that his secretary had prepared in advance and took a sip to calm himself down, the phone on the table rang.

Chen Luo quickly swallowed the tea, picked up his phone, and answered the call.

He always carries two mobile phones, one for work and one for communicating with family and friends. The one ringing now is the work phone, which he can't be careless about.

Especially those calls that are directly put into his hands!

When Chen Luo saw that the contact name was his former boss, his already serious expression became even more solemn.

"Hey, old boss, this is Chen Luo! How's your health been lately?"

Chen Luo naturally couldn't guess the purpose of the call from this former leader who had already moved to Beijing.

"As people get older, their health naturally declines day by day. You're only 38 years old this year, right?"

I've heard that Chen Luo, the mayor of Suzhou, is an iron man; he can work for days without closing his eyes. Young Chen, I want to remind you that work is important, but you also need to take care of your health. Don't think you're still young.

"Yes, yes, I understand. Your words are very insightful, old leader!"

"Hey, never mind, I'm calling to tell you that your position is going to be moved."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo's breathing became somewhat rapid.

He's now the mayor of Suzhou, and although his official rank is still at the provincial level, he's seated ahead of some vice-provincial level officials when it comes to seating arrangements...

"Old boss, are you still in Jiangsu Province?"

Chen Luo asked this question with some uncertainty. After all, according to common sense, the next step for Chen Luo, the mayor, would be to fill the vacancy of the party secretary. However, the current party secretary of Suzhou City is not just a member of the provincial party committee standing committee, but also the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

As for the other municipal party secretaries in Jiangsu Province, to be honest, they are not as good as him as the mayor... The province just adjusted personnel before the new year, and apart from being transferred out, Chen Luo really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Sure enough, the old leader's voice came through clearly on the phone.

"Not in Jiangsu Province anymore... Going to Handong!"

Upon hearing the words "Handong," Chen Luo frowned, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

He traveled to this world from another era.

Born in the mountains, he was admitted to Peking University at the age of sixteen, graduated with a bachelor's degree a year early at the age of nineteen, and then pursued a master's degree at Peking University in the same year. He graduated with double master's degrees in law and economics at the age of twenty-two, and continued to pursue a doctorate at Peking University, graduating with a doctorate at the age of twenty-five.

In the same year, he was selected to serve as the Party Secretary of a town in Kunming, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Suzhou. From the town's Party Secretary to the Deputy Mayor, Deputy Secretary, Mayor, and Secretary of Kunming, and then back to the Deputy Mayor, Deputy Secretary, and Mayor of Suzhou, Chen Luo took thirteen years.

Chen Luo's political career over the years has not only focused on developing Suzhou, but he also has some understanding of the situation in Handong, a neighboring province.

The current Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission is Gao Yuliang, the Director of the Public Security Bureau is Qi Tongwei, and the Secretary of the Provincial Capital City is Li Dakang.

It's obvious without even thinking that this is the nominal world.

Chen Luo originally thought that since he wasn't a graduate of Handong University and hadn't taken a position in Handong, these things wouldn't concern him. But now...

Taking a deep breath, Chen Luo asked softly.

"Old boss, what specific tasks will I be responsible for in Handong?"

An aged voice came slowly and deliberately from the phone.

"Xiao Chen, as for your specific work direction, you need to hone your skills for the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong."

"Old leader, I remember the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong is concurrently held by Gao Yuliang, the Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee. If I'm transferred there, does that mean...?"

"Xiao Chen, the organization understands your considerations."

However, the political and legal work in Handong has been rather unsatisfactory in recent years, so the organization is transferring you there.

Firstly, we need to take into account your achievements in Kunming and Suzhou. Secondly, we need to thoroughly rectify the public security, procuratorate, and judicial system in Handong!

Don't have any reservations. A good comrade like you should be boldly used by the organization!

At this point, the situation is quite clear: his transfer to Handong is a done deal.

According to Chen Luo's original plan, he would most likely first serve as the vice governor of another province or Jiangsu Province to raise his rank, and then enter the provincial party committee two or three years later.

As a result, by boldly using it, I saved myself several years. Theoretically, I only advanced one level, but in reality, this step has blocked far too many people.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo sat heavily in his leather office chair, took out a cigarette from the desk, lit it, and exhaled a smoke ring. Chen Luo's eyes gradually darkened until a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"No matter how you look at it, it's a promotion or an exception!"

The plot is clear, and the advantage is in my hands!

Chen Luo is a seasoned veteran with thirteen years of experience. Even if he doesn't want to get involved in the mess in Handong, it doesn't mean he's afraid.

For several days in a row, Chen Luo diligently prepared the work arrangements for the next quarter in Suzhou City, and the news that he was about to be transferred to Handong quickly spread from the capital to the local area.

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

No. 3 Courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee Family Compound in Handong.

As an SUV came to a steady stop, the burly Qi Tongwei, dressed in the uniform of a first-level police superintendent, hurriedly entered the courtyard with a worried expression.

As soon as Qi Tongwei entered, he saw his teacher Gao Yuliang sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. The ashtray on the coffee table was full of damp cigarette butts, and the entire living room was filled with smoke. Gao Yuliang remained silent for a long time.

This scene made Qi Tongwei's heart sink.

"Teacher, you..."

Just as Qi Tongwei was about to say something, Gao Yuliang stubbed out the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking and said, "Tongwei, you know the news, right? The higher-ups have asked me to vacate the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and transferred someone from out of town to Handong."

This shows they don't trust me, Gao Yuliang!

Hearing this, Qi Tongwei was also in a bad mood. The secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was in charge of the public security, procuratorate and court in Handong. To put it bluntly, one of Qi Tongwei's superiors had been replaced.

"Teacher, not only did the old Party Secretary reject your recommendation, but a new Provincial Party Secretary and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission were also transferred in. Their intentions are probably not simple!"

Neither of them are fools; such a move was so obvious that both Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei had their suspicions.

"This is the higher-ups' consideration, and we cannot have any resistant feelings. Tongwei, you are the Director of the Public Security Bureau, so you must take this incoming Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to heart!"

One person occupies two positions...

"Fine, it's better to give it away, so others won't covet it."

Gao Yuliang did not respond to Qi Tongwei's words, but instead gave formal instructions, as if it were really just a handover.

In reality, only Gao Yuliang himself knows the thoughts and pressures deep inside his heart.
