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

"Secretary Chen, rest assured! I swear on my Party principles that I will never recommend any cadres who engage in fraudulent practices!"

"Good! It's good that you have this confidence."

The second thing was to review all the projects Yi Xuexi had done in the past few months after arriving in Luzhou. Damn it, this guy messed things up in Luzhou. I saw in the reports that Luzhou's economy not only did not rise this quarter, but actually fell by one percentage point, scaring away several investors.

When you go to Luzhou, you need to reassure the investors and stop all those problematic projects that are easy to approve. Secretary Hu will cooperate with you on this matter.

"Secretary Chen, aren't you supposed to be coming to Luzhou in half a month? How about we wait until you arrive...?"

Sun Liancheng was somewhat uneasy. As a mayor, he had been making sweeping changes in Luzhou in just over ten days. His small frame was a bit too fragile, and he was still haunted by the experience of taking the blame for Li Dakang in Jingzhou.

"Wait? We can afford to wait, but the people of Luzhou can't. The sooner those messy projects stop, the more money Luzhou's finances will save."

This matter is bound to offend people, but we cannot follow Yi Jing's example and squander government funds.

This is the work I need you to start immediately upon arriving in Luzhou. Tell me what difficulties you're facing, and I'll do my best to resolve them.

Sun Liancheng shook his head.

"Secretary Chen, you trust me and have promoted me, Sun Liancheng. I, Sun Liancheng, will do my best to complete these tasks before you take office, even if it means working without rest."

Even if we can't resolve everything, we'll prepare all the necessary documents and wait for you to come to Luzhou to make the final decision!

"Good, that's ambitious! In a few days, when you go to Luzhou to take up your post, Minister Chunlin will see you off. You should know that when Yi Xuexi came to Jingzhou to take up his post, he was only picked up and dropped off by the deputy minister in charge of the work."

"You have me behind you, and the Provincial Party Committee behind you. Be bold!"

"Um!"

After nodding emphatically, Sun Liancheng felt full of energy and enthusiasm!

Even after leaving Chen Luo's office, Sun Liancheng's face was still flushed...

A few days later, Sun Liancheng, Chen Hai, and Yi Xuexi took office on the same day.

Organization Minister Wu Chunlin chose to send Sun Liancheng to Luzhou, while Vice Ministers Yi Xuexi and Chen Hai were the ones who picked him up and dropped him off.

The Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

Li Dakang personally attended the welcoming ceremony. Although he didn't have to come, the location of Guangming District was so important that Li Dakang had to take it seriously.

The Coaster parked downstairs at the municipal party committee building, and Yi Xuexi and Chen Hai, following behind the deputy minister of the organization department, saw the cadres from the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government who were there to greet them from afar.

"Secretary Dakang, this is Yi Xuexi, and this is Chen Hai!"

Li Dakang's expression was calm yet cold.

"Understood. Welcome, both of you. Minister Zhang, please announce the appointments shortly."

"Yes, Secretary Dakang!"

Deputy Minister Zhang of the Organization Department nodded repeatedly. In addition to being the deputy minister in charge of the work of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, he was also the member of the Standing Committee of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Minister of the Organization Department.

How could they not see that their own Party Secretary had a bad attitude towards Yi Xuexi and Chen Hai?

Chen Hai felt somewhat embarrassed, as the people standing around to greet him were all members of the municipal party committee, all of whom were at the ministerial level.

People came to give face to Yi Xuexi and his team, while he was just there by chance. Standing there looking at Li Dakang's cold face, Chen Hai's legs trembled.

"Comrade Yi Xuexi, on behalf of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government, I welcome you!"

Public matters are public, private matters are private. Li Dakang still shook hands with Yi Xuexi in a serious manner, while completely ignoring Chen Hai.

"Secretary Dakang, thank you!"

Yi Xuexi could not hide his joy. It is said that returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night. Although he was already very prominent as the acting mayor of Luzhou, Li Dakang, a member of the Provincial Party Committee, did not care at all.

Now things are different. He has come to Li Dakang's territory, to be in the same team, which is a blatant way of telling Li Dakang that he, Yi Xuexi, has caught up.

Li Dakang didn't reply. Looking at Yi Xuexi annoyed him. Soon, everyone arrived at the auditorium.

First, Minister Zhang announced the organizational appointments, followed by a normal welcome banquet. During the banquet, Chen Hai came up to Yi Xuexi and greeted him.

"Secretary Yi, this is Chen Hai!"

Upon hearing Chen Hai's greeting, Yi Xuexi frowned. He was the vice mayor and district party secretary. Didn't Chen Hai know that it would be better to call him Mayor Yi?

"Oh, it's District Chief Chen! I've heard of you. You were the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau before, right? Speaking of which, District Chief Chen, it's a bit incongruous of you to leave your comfortable position as director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau to work in a government agency."

Yi Xuexi didn't give Chen Hai a friendly look at all. That's just how he is; he dares to speak out when he thinks something is wrong!

Chen Hai felt resentful for being snubbed, and being the kind of person who couldn't hide his feelings, he immediately started arguing without hesitation.

"Secretary Yi's words are unpleasant. I have worked in the political and legal system for twenty years, but that does not mean I am not good at the work of government agencies. Secretary Yi is indeed capable, but he was only promoted so quickly at the age of fifty-three."

Secretary Yi's sudden appointment to head a department-level position is no different from mine, a self-taught anti-corruption bureau chief. I really don't know where Secretary Yi gets his confidence from!

"Comrade Chen Hai! What do you mean by this?!"

"What do I mean? What do you mean by 'easy to learn'?"

Did I do anything to you? You targeted me the very first time we met, huh! Do you really think I, Chen Hai, am easy to bully?!

The argument between the two left everyone else stunned.

On his very first day in office, the district head and the party secretary started fighting. Guangming District was already a powder keg, and now it's going to blow up to smithereens.

Li Dakang sat in the main seat watching this scene, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"It seems that the stinky rock of Easy Learning isn't feeling too good..."

Li Dakang squinted and smiled. Chen Hai was the kind of person who was fearless to the core, otherwise he wouldn't have investigated his ex-wife on his own. It just so happened that Yi Xuexi had the same personality. Tsk tsk tsk, it's just a pity for the people of Guangming District to be stuck with these two idiots.

Shaking his head, Li Dakang had already made the worst-case scenario plan; shifting the blame to save his life was now the most urgent task!

Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi, who were arguing endlessly, ultimately decided not to continue. After all, this was a welcome banquet, not their Roman Colosseum. They would fight back on their territory in the Bright District.

During the banquet, a pair of eyes were fixed on Chen Hai, and Zhao Donglai was so angry that he wanted to tear Chen Hai to pieces.

This damn guy not only deceived me, but now he's acting all high and mighty. Zhao Donglai felt increasingly disgusted by him.

The welcome banquet ended hastily. Li Dakang didn't even glance at Yi Xuexi before leaving in his Han O.00009. The other Standing Committee members followed closely behind Li Dakang.

After leaving the provincial party committee building, Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi exchanged a deep look, their mutual disdain undisguised!
