The Yanjing Conference

"The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty, haha..."

Sha Ruijin murmured these eight words, repeating them under his breath, then chuckled, "Secretary Yuliang, if it weren't for that 200 million yuan trust fund, you could still explain things clearly. Now, can you even explain it clearly?"

"Secretary Sha, you have to explain even if you can't," Gao Yuliang said, flicking the dust off his cuff. "See? A stain on your body is a stain, and dust on your body is dust. Only by removing it can you be completely clean, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin's pupils constricted, and his expression grew even more serious. He said in a deep voice, "Secretary Yuliang, you don't know this, but compared to Li Dakang, I actually admire you more. You seem to be a born politician; both your abilities and your demeanor are superb!"

Sha Ruijin's eyes flickered as he reminded him, "Secretary Yuliang, you should know that Governor Liu is retiring in a few months..."

"Secretary Sha, of course I know that Governor Liu will retire in a few months. Didn't I tell you this news myself?" Gao Yuliang smiled. "So everyone in Handong Province knows that Sha and Li are a good match: you will be the provincial party secretary, and Li Dakang will be the governor."

"Actually, either Sha and Li could be paired together, or Sha and Gao could be paired together; it all depends on Secretary Yuliang's choice..."

"Watch my choice? What choice?" Before Sha Ruijin could finish speaking, Gao Yuliang interrupted him sharply, shouting, "Secretary Sha, do I choose to form cliques for personal gain, or do I choose to turn Handong Province into a one-man show?"

"Secretary Sha, Governor Liu's position was proposed by the Party and the State, and elected by society and the people. It is not something that any one person can decide."

"Zhao Lichun, the former Party Secretary of Handong Province, cultivated power in Handong Province for decades, suppressing Governor Liu to the point of having no say. However, Governor Liu's position remained unshaken. Do you know why, Secretary Sha?"

"Because the Party and the country will never allow any place to be a place where one person can cover up the truth..."

Sha Ruijin's face was extremely gloomy. He originally wanted to make Gao Yuliang bow down by offering empty promises and to use Gao Yuliang to control the public security, procuratorate and judicial system of Handong Province. However, he did not expect that Gao Yuliang would not only not buy into this, but would also ridicule him with innuendo, almost tearing him to shreds.

At this moment, Sha Ruijin understood Gao Yuliang's determination. He would not bow down, even if the Central Inspection Team investigated him and he was eventually imprisoned.

Sha Ruijin pointed at Gao Yuliang and threatened, "Secretary Yuliang, you're going your own way and going against the Party and the country. You're destined to come to a bad end."

"Haha..." Gao Yuliang was amused, and he met Sha Ruijin's gaze with a sharp retort: ​​"I wonder if Secretary Sha has ever heard a saying?"

"What did you say?"

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

This could be considered Gao Yuliang's advice, but unexpectedly Sha Ruijin shook his head and didn't take it to heart at all. "Secretary Yuliang, then I'll also give you a piece of advice: If I gaze into the abyss, the abyss will not dare to gaze back at me."

Changing the subject, Sha Ruijin's tone became much lighter and less somber. "Secretary Yuliang, Li Dakang just suggested to me that Qi Tongwei, the Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, be promoted to Vice Governor. I think it's a good idea."

"After all, our Public Security Bureau Chief Qi Tongwei just performed exceptionally well in the Lincheng incident and received a first-class merit award from the Ministry of Public Security. It's normal for him to be promoted to vice governor."

"Secretary Yuliang, what do you think?"

Gao Yuliang knew that Sha Ruijin wanted him to express his opinion. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Considering that Director Qi also serves as the Director of the Public Security Bureau, I think that after Director Qi becomes the Vice Governor, he can be responsible for the security and stability work of the entire province, and his expertise is also a good fit."

Sha Ruijin frowned slightly. Handong Province has five vice governors, among whom Wang Lin, the executive vice governor in charge of the province's economic development, is also a member of the provincial party committee standing committee.

In other provinces, besides the executive vice governor who is in charge of the province's economy, the vice governor who is in charge of the province's security and stability work can be said to hold the third position in the provincial government, which means he has a high position and great power.

That makes sense.

Sha Ruijin nodded slightly. He had originally planned to put Qi Tongwei in charge of the province's culture, tourism, and ecological environment after Qi Tongwei became the vice governor. However, Gao Yuliang brought it up, so he had no choice but to agree.

After all, through the analysis of the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu, he also realized the seriousness of the problem. If Gao Yuliang spoke recklessly in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the Central Committee, even if it had the slightest impact on him, it would be absolutely unacceptable.

Gao Yuliang naturally understood Sha Ruijin's meaning and immediately said, "Actually, after thinking about it, Secretary Dakang really doesn't have any problems. Although Ding Yizhen was promoted by Secretary Dakang, you can only know a person's face but not their heart. If everyone has to be held responsible for problems when they promote officials, who will dare to hire people in the future? Who will dare to promote officials?"

"As long as the promotion and appointment of officials are in accordance with the procedures, regulations, and rules, even if problems arise, it can at most be considered negligence."

After a pause, Gao Yuliang continued, "As for Secretary Dakang's ex-wife, Ouyang Jing, there is even less of a problem. Her case was a major case that I personally supervised the Provincial Procuratorate to handle. It was investigated very thoroughly. Secretary Dakang was usually busy with work and was completely unaware of what his ex-wife, Ouyang Jing, had done."

"Furthermore, my ex-wife has been taking care of our daughter overseas, so it's understandable that she was unaware of the situation!"

"What do you think, Secretary Sha?"

"Clap clap clap..." Sha Ruijin couldn't help but show surprise upon hearing Gao Yuliang's explanation, praising, "Brilliant! Secretary Yuliang is absolutely right. That's what I thought too."

Sha Ruijin's eyes were full of regret. Gao Yuliang was indeed a master of sophistry. In the morning, he had seized on Li Dakang's problem to attack him, but now he could justify himself by changing the subject.

If we can use it for our own purposes, it will undoubtedly be of great help in controlling the situation in Handong!

Pity……

However, the more Sha Ruijin knew how powerful Gao Yuliang was, the less likely he was to let Gao Yuliang go. The Han Da Gang was too powerful, occupying almost half of Handong Province. If Gao Yuliang did not choose to submit, he would be destroyed!

Having achieved his goal, Sha Ruijin smiled and said, "The weather is getting colder, and if I don't move around for a while, I'll get a little cold. Since Secretary Yuliang isn't playing basketball, I'll go."

"Okay, Secretary Sha. I also have an appointment with Qi Tongwei to discuss security arrangements for the business symposium, and it's almost time."

……

Meanwhile, in a conference room in Zhongnanhai, the capital of the country, six elderly people gathered to discuss the recent turbulent national situation.

After discussing the national situation, the second-in-command, who was presiding over the meeting, brought up the national economy.

"Last year, my country's GDP was 655782 billion yuan, an increase of 52122 billion yuan compared to 13. Economic growth was slow, the old industrial model faced elimination, and the development of my country's heavy and light industries faced significant challenges."

"We must find a new industrial path to replace the existing old industrial model, stimulate economic development, increase employment, and at the same time take into account the path of sustainable development."

"Everyone, please feel free to share your ideas."

Everyone looked at each other, and since ancient times, national economic development has always been a challenge, let alone when the old industrial model is facing elimination and the new industrial model is being explored. For a while, no one had any good ideas.

"I have an idea. I originally wanted to give it to President Li privately, but since we've come this far, let's all take a look together." Zhou Qingguo took out a thick stack of documents from the file bag behind him, stepped forward and handed it to President Li.

"This document is based on my ideas as a junior employee. It may not be fully developed yet, and I hope Mr. Li will provide more guidance."

Although he said he would offer more guidance, Zhou Qingguo's tone was anything but humble...
