Sun Liancheng is going to report Chen Yanshi!

All eyes turned to this. This was originally a trivial matter, but Lu Zhenguo, the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, insisted on bringing it up at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting. This clearly showed that he wanted to stand on the opposite side of Gao Yuliang and go against Gao Yuliang!

"Secretary Lu and Vice Governor Wang are very anxious; they can't wait even one night." Gao Yuliang smiled and said jokingly, "Alright, in front of so many Standing Committee members today, I'll be frank with you: I will not approve the Qingcheng City urban village project."

Gao Yuliang's attitude was once again surprising. This project had been reviewed and approved by the provincial government and gone through all the procedures, yet Gao Yuliang rejected it with just a single sentence.

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his face quickly darkened. He originally only wanted to use this matter to make trouble, but he did not expect that Gao Yuliang would actually dare to reject a project that was about to start.

However, thinking about the dividends he could get from the Qingcheng City urban village project, Wang Zheng immediately retorted: "Governor Gao, the Qingcheng City urban village project, with a total investment of 3 billion yuan, was planned in advance, approved by Governor Liu, and all procedures and formalities have been completed."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Governor Gao to reject the project with just one sentence?"

Gao Yuliang knew the outcome of this project. First, eleven bodies were unearthed, including Wang Min, the director of the Qingcheng Planning Bureau, and Ren Qiang, the deputy director of the Construction Bureau. Then, the national supervisory team arrived and intervened in the investigation.

The final fire resulted in the deaths of six and injuries to three members of the national supervisory team. The country was outraged, and the supervisory work was transformed into a counter-terrorism operation. The executive vice governor who was protecting the team behind the scenes was severely punished!

The severity of this matter is beyond imagination; anyone who gets involved is doomed.

Without a second thought, Gao Yuliang rejected the idea, saying, "I have already looked at the relevant projects in Qingcheng City's urban villages. Neither the dilapidation nor the timeline of the urban villages in Qingcheng City presents the kind of urgency that Secretary Lu mentioned."

"Therefore, I believe that the urban village project in Qingcheng City should be temporarily shelved."

Gao Yuliang earnestly reminded them: "Comrades, we cannot let an explosion and fire in Zhongfu District of Jingzhou City disrupt our urban planning. We must be targeted and accelerate the renovation process for those areas with safety hazards to eliminate them."

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu immediately said, "Governor Gao, I don't agree with your statement. It's said that many buildings in the urban villages of Qingcheng City have become dilapidated and pose obvious safety hazards. If we don't address this now, who will be responsible if something happens?"

"Whose responsibility is it, yours or mine?"

"After all, the repeated delays in the urban renewal project in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City, have led to explosions and fires. I believe I don't need to elaborate on how devastating the impact has been, right?"

Lu Zhenguo, the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, nodded and echoed, "This matter should have been decided by the provincial government and Governor Gao, but since the urban village renovation project in Qingcheng City involves safety issues, I think it is reasonable to bring it up for decision by the provincial party committee."

"Governor Gao, for safety reasons, I propose that the urban village project in Qingcheng City be launched immediately. What do you think?"

Gao Yuliang sneered inwardly. They actually know that economic development should be the responsibility of the provincial government and himself? If it weren't for the need to make the act more convincing, he would have vetoed it long ago. Why waste so much time talking to them?

While thinking this to himself, Gao Yuliang's face turned ashen, and he frowned, saying, "I reserve my opinion. The Qingcheng City urban village project is not urgent and should be temporarily shelved."

"If the provincial party committee insists on proceeding unilaterally, neither I nor the provincial government will be responsible for any unforeseen circumstances that arise during the development of the urban village project in Qingcheng City!"

Seeing Gao Yuliang's extremely grim expression, Sha Ruijin's smile deepened, and he made the decision: "Since this matter has already been brought to the Standing Committee for discussion, let's come up with a result today. Everyone, let's raise our hands and vote."

"Raise your hand if you agree that the Qingcheng City urban village project should be launched immediately!"

At the Standing Committee meeting, four people raised their hands: Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin, Provincial Party Deputy Secretary Lu Zhenguo, Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Tian Guofu, and Provincial Government Executive Vice Governor Wang Zheng. The others, including Jingzhou Municipal Party Secretary Li Dakang, watched quietly without expressing their opinions.

Sha Ruijin continued, "Those who agree to temporarily shelve the Qingcheng City urban village project, please raise your hands."

As soon as the words were spoken, Gao Yuliang, the governor of Handong Province, and Wu Chunlin, the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee, raised their hands. The others also watched and did not express their opinions.

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin immediately made the decision: "Very well, I hereby announce that the urban village renovation project in Qingcheng City shall be launched immediately, and Comrade Wang Zheng, Executive Vice Governor of the Provincial Government, shall be in charge."

Gao Yuliang looked indifferently at the smug group. "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable." He had been thinking about how to hand over Executive Vice Governor Wang Zheng to Sha Ruijin, but in the end, he didn't even have to put in the effort. Sha Ruijin and the others were just asking for trouble.

What's even more ridiculous is that Sha Ruijin, Lu Zhenguo, and Tian Guofu thought they had gotten a great deal and were quite pleased with themselves.

I wonder what these people will look like when eleven bodies are unearthed in the urban village of Qingcheng, and what their expressions will be when the supervisory team investigates Wang Zheng, the executive vice governor.

The most terrifying thing is that if the supervisory team is attacked, Gao Yuliang doesn't know if the people sitting on the ground will still be able to sit still.

Unfortunately, these people were not reborn and had no idea that the urban village project in Qingcheng City was a time bomb that would blow people to pieces.

Next, the discussion turned to the ownership of the explosion and fire incident in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City. On this matter, Gao Yuliang acted extremely aggressively, claiming that the explosion and fire incident in Zhongfu District, Jingzhou City involved economic issues, and thus seized control.

Then, Gao Yuliang proposed: "I have a suggestion. Comrade Sun Liancheng, the former mayor of Guangming District of Jingzhou City and the current instructor of the Children's Palace, who went against the fire to save people in our Handong Province, I would like him to attend the Standing Committee meeting in three days and deliver an important speech."

This proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the Standing Committee members present, because it was necessary both to show respect for the firefighters and to stage a show to eliminate the negative social impact on Handong Province.

After the meeting, Gao Yuliang immediately took a special car to the hospital. He wanted to talk to Sun Liancheng and also invite him to attend the three-day Standing Committee meeting.

Sun Liancheng is now a hero with great social influence. Many of his fellow trainees from the same batch of "lazy government" training courses come to him to vent their grievances. When Gao Yuliang came, he saw quite a few officials from Jingzhou City.

"Governor Gao..."

"Governor Gao!"

Passersby greeted Gao Yuliang excitedly, and Gao Yuliang smiled and nodded in response, showing no airs whatsoever.

When Sun Liancheng saw Gao Yuliang, he was very excited and struggled to get up, but Gao Yuliang stopped him, saying, "Comrade Liancheng, you're not fully recovered yet, you need to rest more..."

"Governor Gao, it's so great that you could come. I have so many grievances to vent to." Sun Liancheng said to Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang smiled and comforted him, "Who would dare to wrong our great hero? Who is it? Comrade Liancheng, please speak slowly. As long as it is reasonable and in accordance with the law, I will stand up for you."

"Then I'll be frank."

Sun Liancheng, his face dark, gritted his teeth and said, "I, Sun Liancheng, hereby file a formal complaint against Chen Yanshi, the former deputy director of the Handong Provincial Procuratorate. During my tenure as the head of Guangming District, he abused his relationship with the provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin, and broke the law by demanding that I provide Dafeng Factory with twenty acres of industrial land free of charge."

"Governor Gao, changing commercial land to industrial land is illegal. Can this land be approved?"

"Even if we take a step back and assume that the land use designation can be changed, does Dafeng Factory have any money? Not a single penny. They just ask for 20 mu of industrial land. If I approve this land, wouldn't I be like Liu Xinjian of Handong Oil and Gas Group, suspected of embezzling state-owned assets?"

"I also want to file a formal complaint against Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City..."
