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

If Qi Tongwei still didn't understand what Chen Luo was saying, he wouldn't have become the Director of the Public Security Bureau.

To put it bluntly, Chen Luo didn't want to bring up the messes and grievances Qi Tongwei had made in the past. He wasn't the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and even if these issues were exposed, it would be the fault of the former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Gao Yuliang.

What Chen Luo wanted was for Qi Tongwei to fully cooperate with him, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, in rectifying the public security system in Handong.

He was a clean and honest public security director after Chen Luo took office, a public security director who truly served the people.

When the disciplinary committee uncovered his past issues, Qi Tongwei could only accept his misfortune.

Qi Tongwei is already very satisfied with this result, isn't he?

"Secretary Chen, I understand!"

Qi Tongwei let his sweat drip down, his eyes bright, and his answer was firm and resolute.

"Well, don't feel wronged. Cooperate with my work, and I won't stop you if it's crucial..."

Chen Luo couldn't possibly expect his reprimands to make Qi Tongwei obediently cooperate. He could only offer a sweet treat after a slap.

If Qi Tongwei performs well, Chen Luo, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, will at least not vote against his deputy provincial-level position at the next Standing Committee meeting.

"Alright, it's eleven o'clock."

That concludes your report. This Friday, please notify all officers at the division chief level and above in the public security system, as well as all county-level public security bureau chiefs, to attend a meeting at the provincial department. I will be in attendance.

"Okay, Secretary Chen, you're busy, I'll be going now."

Qi Tongwei left Chen Luo's office with mixed feelings, gently closing the door behind him before leaving.

Only after leaving the provincial party committee compound did Qi Tongwei wipe the sweat from his forehead and reveal a long-lost smile.

With a slight tremor, he opened the car door, got in, fumbled around for a while before pulling out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a heavy smoke ring.

Qi Tongwei has already made his decision!

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

Handong Provincial Cadre Nursing Home.

The No. 1 car from the Provincial Party Committee simply stopped in front of a two-story villa.

Soon, Sha Ruijin's secretary opened the car door and got out to open the door for Sha Ruijin in the back seat.

"Secretary Sha, we've arrived at Old Chen's house!"

After getting out of the car, Sha Ruijin calmly nodded and instructed, "Xiaobai, take those gifts from the trunk."

When Sha Ruijin came to Chen Yanshi's house, he naturally couldn't come empty-handed, after all, their relationship was rather special.

Secretary Bai was quite sensible; she jogged over, opened the trunk, and followed with some common gifts available in the market.

The distance from where the car was parked to Chen Yanshi's residence was several dozen meters, but when Sha Ruijin got out of the car, he couldn't see Chen Yanshi anywhere.

It wasn't until he got closer that Sha Ruijin saw Chen Yanshi and a group of elderly people with gray hair chatting in the courtyard.

"Oh! Little Goldie!"

From about ten meters away, Chen Yanshi didn't know if he had really just noticed Sha Ruijin or if he hadn't, but the phrase "Little Jinzi" completely stunned Sha Ruijin.

After flashing his signature smile, Sha Ruijin took a deep breath and shouted.

"Uncle Chen, I've come to see you!"

Secretary Bai was very considerate; he had already placed the gifts on the stone table in Chen Yanshi's courtyard.

Chen Yanshi stepped forward and shook hands tightly with Sha Ruijin. His friendly demeanor caused a slight stir in the eyes of the group of retired elderly people around them.

"Chen Hai, come out quickly, your Brother Sha is here!"

Ignoring the group of elderly people he usually chatted with, Chen Yanshi called out directly into the house.

Soon, Chen Hai went downstairs with a puzzled look on his face. It wasn't until he saw Sha Ruijin that Chen Hai realized that the "Brother Sha" his father had mentioned was actually Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary!

"Hello, Secretary Sha!"

Chen Hai was not as shameless as Chen Yanshi; he greeted Sha Ruijin very politely.

This made Sha Ruijin feel a little better.

"Chen Hai, although you've been temporarily suspended, don't worry. We'll think of something else later."

Sha Ruijin originally thought that after making this statement, Chen Yanshi and Chen Hai would be able to open their hearts to him, right?

But who would have thought that Chen Yanshi would explode upon hearing this news!

What!

Chen Hai, you've been suspended?

When did this happen?!

Seeing his father's anxious expression, Chen Hai could only lower his head in shame.

"Regarding the notice issued yesterday and the results announced this morning, the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau has now been replaced by Lü Liang."

Chen Hai spoke the truth, and Chen Yanshi was even more furious after hearing it. Heaven knows how much effort Chen Yanshi had put in to get Chen Hai into the position of director of the anti-corruption bureau.

As a result, without realizing it, her son was suspended from his job.

In an instant, Chen Yanshi forgot all his joy at Sha Ruijin's visit and stared straight at Sha Ruijin, asking, "Little Jin, you're the provincial party secretary. Chen Hai's suspension certainly wasn't Chen Hai's fault. Didn't you say a word?"

? ? ? ? ?

Sha Ruijin felt completely dumbfounded.

"Uncle Chen, Chen Hai's suspension was a violation of organizational procedures. It was proposed by the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and as the Provincial Party Secretary, I must also be truthful."

The implication is that your son's suspension was his own doing, and has nothing to do with me.

But despite the logic, Chen Yanshi disregarded it.

"Good! I knew it! This new secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission is no good person. When Yu Liang was the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, I could often go to the procuratorate and the office of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to sit and give my opinions. But now, not only is the secretary of this new secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission not allowed to enter, but he also dismissed Chen Hai, the director of your Anti-Corruption Bureau!"

"Little Jin, you're the provincial party secretary, you can't just ignore this!"

Sha Ruijin felt a headache coming on.

He is indeed the provincial party secretary, and he has significant decision-making power over the appointment and removal of personnel in the province, but he is not omnipotent!

The matter of Chen Hai's suspension is ultimately an internal affair of the political and legal system, and it's not really reasonable for him to interfere.

The provincial party secretary's meddling in every system has a very negative impact on the harmony of the leadership team, unless Chen Hai is falsely accused and is innocent, which is a pity...

If Sha Ruijin were to disregard the facts and forcefully suppress Chen Hai's matter, and Chen Luo were to make a phone call to Beijing to report him, he would be absolutely thrilled...

"Old Chen!"

Sha Ruijin's tone changed noticeably. No matter how unreasonable Chen Yanshi was, he was still intimidated by the imposing presence of Sha Ruijin, the provincial party secretary.

"Chen Hai's suspension was a comprehensive decision made by the Provincial Party Committee and a personnel adjustment based on facts. The newly appointed Secretary Chen of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission is also correct in acting in accordance with discipline and rules!"

As for what exactly happened, you can ask Chen Hai yourself.

"I have some matters to attend to at the Provincial Party Committee, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come see you again next time."

After saying that, Sha Ruijin turned and left.

Even after getting into the car, Sha Ruijin felt unlucky!

If it weren't for showing off to his adoptive fathers in Beijing, he wouldn't have bothered to come see that old guy Chen Yanshi!
