Chapter 60
Gao Yuliang, Dual Positions!
"Look, isn't that Secretary Yuliang?"
In the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, a staff member by the window stared wide-eyed at Gao Yuliang getting out of the car in the courtyard and exclaimed in surprise!
The next moment, countless people crowded around, peering outside!
Yesterday, news of Secretary Yuliang appearing on the news had already spread throughout the officialdom of Handong!
Secretary Yu Liang is now the Deputy Director of the Development and Reform Commission, the full-time Deputy Director of the Reform Office, and the Director of the New Energy Bureau. He is a big shot who can sit with leaders like General Manager Li and General Manager Lü.
"It really is Secretary Yu Liang..."
"Secretary Yuliang is back!"
……
Director Bai, Sha Ruijin's secretary, quickly learned of the news. He thought to himself that something was wrong. Gao Yuliang's arrival in Handong at the critical moment of the Jingzhou fire clearly indicated that he had ill intentions.
The most alarming thing is that Secretary Sha is still in a meeting and has no idea about this news. He must inform Secretary Sha in advance so that Secretary Sha can make preparations early.
Because the current Gao Yuliang is not the same Gao Yuliang as before; he is truly no less than Secretary Sha!
As soon as Director Bai pushed open the door, he saw Gao Yuliang and Fang Ren walking towards him. Both Gao Yuliang and Fang Ren were followed by two burly bodyguards with cold faces, exuding an aura of power.
Gao Yuliang glanced at Director Bai but ignored him, and he and Fang Ren strode confidently toward the conference room.
Director Bai looked at Fang Ren next to Gao Yuliang and didn't dare to breathe. He felt like the sky had fallen. The top leader of the organization, a member of the Political Bureau Committee, and one of the twenty-four core members!
The organization's top leader, along with Gao Yuliang, who holds a high position, are coming together to cause a major upheaval in Handong!
Inside the meeting room, everyone was discussing who the newly appointed official from Beijing would be.
The position of Governor of Handong Province is extremely important. If a governor with a powerful background and a strong style of doing things were parachuted in, the one-man rule of Sha Ruijin would be completely broken.
After all, the governor is not subordinate to the provincial party secretary; in a strict sense, they are at the same level, and the governor's power is in no way inferior to the governor's.
This matter concerns the political landscape of Handong Province!
Suddenly, without warning, the tightly closed door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and everyone looked over, their hearts leaping into their throats.
At that moment, the entire conference room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop!
The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground came as Fang Ren, with a serious expression, walked into the conference room first. Everyone gasped when they saw this top leader of the organization, one of the twenty-four core figures.
Will this person be the one to escort the newly appointed provincial governor from Beijing to his post?
When the top two leaders of a province take office, the Organization Department usually sends someone to announce the appointment. This is the normal procedure. However, usually only the second or third leader of the Organization Department is sent. I have never heard of anyone being personally escorted by Mr. Fang.
The fact that Mr. Fang personally saw him off can only mean one thing: the country attaches great importance to this newly appointed provincial governor, and Mr. Fang is here to show his support!
Which of the provincial party committee standing committee members present wasn't a shrewd person? They immediately understood the meaning. They couldn't help but look towards the door, becoming even more curious about the newly arrived governor. Who was he that the organization valued so much?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a familiar figure appeared before them!
The appearance of this person was like a bolt from the blue that struck everyone's hearts!
"Gao Yuliang!"
Li Dakang completely lost his composure, jumping to his feet. He stared at Gao Yuliang with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief.
Although Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin did not lose his composure, his furrowed brows, clenched teeth, and tightly clenched fists under the conference table were enough to prove that his heart was already in turmoil!
Compared to Gao Yuliang taking over as governor of Handong Province, what Sha Ruijin feared even more was that the organization had not revealed any information to him, the top leader of Handong Province, beforehand.
Furthermore, the fact that no one had told him about Gao Yuliang's new post in Beijing meant that he had likely lost the organization's trust!
Moreover, Sha Ruijin couldn't understand why Gao Yuliang would choose to come to Handong Province, since the position of Governor of Handong Province was not considered a promotion compared to the position of Deputy Director of the Development and Reform Commission at the ministerial level. In fact, it could be said to be a demotion of half a rank.
Just for revenge? To kill yourself?
Sha Ruijin thought this was unrealistic; sacrificing his political future for revenge? Gao Yuliang wasn't that stupid.
However, it wouldn't be right to say that Gao Yuliang lost the organization's trust and was demoted. Old Fang personally escorted him to his new post, which clearly shows that the organization valued Gao Yuliang highly.
Before Sha Ruijin could think further, Old Fang had already walked towards him.
Sha Ruijin quickly made room for him and greeted him respectfully, "Elder Fang."
"Hmm..." Fang Ren nodded, but instead of sitting in the seat of the top leader of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, he stood next to Sha Ruijin and said loudly, "I believe everyone knows the purpose of my trip, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer."
"With the approval of the State and after organizational review, Gao Yuliang, the former deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, full-time deputy director of the Reform Office, and director of the New Energy Bureau, was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, acting governor of the Provincial Government, and secretary of the Party Group of Handong Province."
"Given the importance of new energy projects, Comrade Gao Yuliang will no longer serve as the full-time deputy director of the Reform Office and the director of the New Energy Bureau, but will retain his position as deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission."
Although everyone had expected it, they were still taken aback. This governor was basically the governor now, and all that was left was to go through the process of being elected by the Provincial People's Congress.
What surprised everyone was that Gao Yuliang, who had already been appointed governor, was also serving as deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission. What did this mean?
Governor, at the ministerial level!
Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, at the ministerial level!
Gao Yuliang holds two ministerial-level positions simultaneously, both with real power, which is truly extraordinary!
Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin nearly vomited blood. He leaned on the chair, swaying precariously. With a provincial governor holding two ministerial-level titles parachuted in, what was he, the Party Secretary of Handong Province, then?
Moreover, this person is Gao Yuliang. In that case, can I still be considered the top leader of Handong Province?
At this moment, Sha Ruijin hesitated. Gao Yuliang undoubtedly represented the country and the organization. Was it still necessary for him to resist, or should he, as the top leader, lower his head and cooperate with Gao Yuliang's work?
If he really chooses to resist, given Gao Yuliang's current identity and background, can he still win?
Just as Sha Ruijin hesitated, Tian Guofu, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said loudly, "Elder Fang, I have something to report to you!"
Fang Ren's pupils contracted, and he suddenly looked at Tian Guofu!
Under Fang Ren's gaze, Tian Guofu felt immense pressure. He knew that this was Fang Lao warning him not to speak carelessly!
But remembering that phone call, Tian Guofu gritted his teeth and said, "Old Fang, Qi Tongwei, the current Vice Governor and Director of the Public Security Bureau, is suspected of harboring three gang rape criminals and knowingly breaking the law. The evidence is now conclusive!"
"Furthermore, Gao Yuliang, the former full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was also involved in this case!"
Gao Yuliang looked at Tian Guofu, who was reporting despite the pressure, and smiled slightly. He hadn't even made a move yet, and Tian Guofu was already starting a fight with him.
He's courting death!
