The fat man who spoke was wearing a white shirt and a black executive jacket. He had his hair slicked back and his name was Chu Tianxiong.
Chu Tianxiong's grandfather, Chu Shanyue, once followed the Grand Secretary Lin Jianguo and participated in the founding war.
He is brave and daring in combat. He currently serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Log Unit, holding the rank of three stars.
Chu Tianxiong and Lin Yunfei grew up together, wearing only a leather drum.
When we were kids, we'd go steal bird eggs and catch fish in the river together.
After growing up, Chu Tianxiong entered politics. He joined the Ministry of Revenue and is now the Left Vice Minister of Revenue, managing the imperial finances, an administrative rank equivalent to a minister.
"Here, Brother Lin. Let me light your cigarette. Thanks for helping me make a fortune."
A tall, thin man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, personally lit Lin Yunfei's cigarette.
"I sold my Microsoft stock. I made a profit of 3.2 billion."
The man who spoke was named Song Xingyu.
Song Xingyu's grandfather had just retired from the cabinet. His father was the Party Secretary of Shanghai.
"Xingyu, our old man is trying to get involved in Handong Province."
"This is my first time working at the grassroots level, so I'll definitely need your help."
Lin Yunfei had a specially supplied cigarette dangling from his mouth, inhaling deeply. A look of ecstasy crossed his face.
Song Xingyu quickly said, "Brother Lin, you are my half-brother."
“If you need investment, just call me. I’ll bring the company’s top executives to Jingzhou to invest for you.”
Chu Tianxiong shouted, "That's right, Brother Lin. Just ask, and the Empire will provide a two-hundred-million-dollar interest-free loan."
"Tianxiong, Brother Lin has plenty of money."
The speaker was tall and imposing, wearing a white shirt, and his name was Zhang Xingchen.
Zhang Xingchen's grandfather was the Minister of Justice in the Han Dynasty, holding the administrative rank of Vice-Premier.
Lin Yunfei looked at his childhood friend: "Xingchen. I remember you are now the fourth deputy secretary in the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department of the Supreme People's Procuratorate."
"Yes, that's right, Brother Lin."
"This is just a small-scale operation," Zhang Xingchen said slowly, smiling.
Lin Yunfei was both amused and exasperated: "Brother, this is nothing."
"You are only 36 years old, and you have become a deputy secretary at the vice-ministerial level through your own abilities."
"Unlike me, I'm only a deputy director-level official."
"The executive deputy head of a district or county." Lin Yunfei roughly understood the current administrative level of the Great Han Empire.
The Grand Secretary is a position equivalent to a prime minister.
All six ministers were at the vice-state level.
In addition to the Six Ministries, there were also the Imperial City Guard, the Supreme Procuratorate, the Inspectorate, and so on.
Zhang Xingchen smiled wryly, stood up, and picked up a bottle of Moutai with a metal cap: "Brother Lin, at least you'll still be serving as the Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau this time."
“Jingzhou is a sub-provincial city. The executive deputy director of the municipal public security bureau is a second-level police supervisor.”
"A deputy director-general with real power."
“You can completely sideline the director of the municipal bureau.”
Chu Tianxiong nodded: "Xingchen is right. Grandpa Lin is shrewd and calculating."
“You were parachuted in and even got involved with Governor Liu. You used Governor Liu’s people to absorb his political legacy.”
"It's entirely possible to easily sideline Zhao Donglai, the director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"Once you control the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau, you'll be completely powerless."
. . . . . .
Two days later, at Hantong Airport. Passengers coming and going.
Lin Yunfei and his wife Zhao Lan discreetly carried their luggage and left through the VIP channel, getting into an Audi A8.
"Hello, Political Commissar Zhao, District Chief Lin."
"I'm Xiao Zhang, Governor Liu's secretary." Xiao Zhang was driving the car himself, checking the rearview mirror.
Lin Yunfei snapped out of his reverie, thinking of Secretary Bai from the story: "Director Zhang... you've worked hard."
Zhao Lan, dressed in military uniform with a shining five-pointed gold star on her shoulder insignia, put her arms around Lin Yunfei and said, "Xiao Zhang, thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all, Political Commissar Zhao."
Xiao Zhang had a warm smile on his face.
Because Governor Liu had repeatedly emphasized that Zhao Lan must be respected, as she was the newly appointed first political commissar of the military region.
Two hours later, in the Provincial Party Committee compound, courtyard number two.
"Uncle Liu, we apologize for bothering you this time. I really feel bad, but I got a carton of cigarettes from my dad." Zhao Lan took out a carton of special-supply cigarettes from her handbag.
Zhao Lan, poised and graceful, pointed to Lin Yunfei and said, "This is my husband, Lin Yunfei."
Governor Liu turned his head and looked Lin Yunfei up and down: "A handsome man, a dragon among men."
Sitting on the upscale sofa in the living room, Governor Liu's wife, Zhou Shiqi, looked at Zhao Lan with a curious expression.
His gaze fell on Zhao Lan, on the rank insignia on her shoulder. A five-pointed star, the rank of Major General.
Such a young girl, and she's already become a major general.
"Lanlan, you and Xiaolin, come to my study."
After speaking, Governor Liu stood up and went upstairs to the second floor.
Lin Yunfei nodded and greeted her modestly, "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you."
The three of them entered the study one after the other and closed the study door.
Governor Liu looked at Zhao Lan with a serious expression: "Xiao Lan, what instructions does the old leader have?"
“Uncle Liu, my dad said that Handong has become the chessboard this time.” Zhao Lan’s voice was as clear and sweet as a lark’s.
"My husband and I came to Handong to stabilize the political situation there."
"There must be no bloodshed or major casualties."
"No matter how the Secretary's faction and the Han University faction fight, they must maintain a balance of competition without breaking apart," Zhao Lan explained in detail.
Lin Yunfei stared intently at Governor Liu, whose temples were graying.
Governor Liu's real name is Liu Cheng. He's been based in Handong for many years and is a man who's on par with Zhao Lichun.
Liu Cheng suddenly realized: "Xiao Lan, I understand. However, I will be retiring to the second line in six months."
Zhao Lan smiled sweetly: "Uncle Liu, my dad said he'll let you work for a few more years so you can contribute more to the people."
Liu Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted, a surge of excitement rising within him. A hint of ambition flickered in his eyes.
4. Han Shanhu, Commander of the Handong Military Region.
4. Han Shanhu, Commander of the Handong Military Region.
P.S.: Please give me flowers!!! Please give me flowers!!! Please add this to your favorites!!! Please add this to your favorites!!!
Upon hearing these words, Liu Cheng was tempted. He had originally decided to stay out of charge because he knew he wouldn't get promoted.
He quietly stepped down to the second line, not wanting to make any more political enemies.
Now his former boss's daughter is telling him that he can work for a few more years.
This sentence contains a lot of information.
The only thing he can do now is go up and sit in the clapping spot. That way, he can delay his retirement.
Liu Cheng did not dare to hope that he could become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Xiao Lin, you've come to Handong, presumably to gain experience," Liu Cheng said slowly, in a tone of certainty.
Lin Yunfei nodded, his expression serious: "Yes, Uncle Liu. The Guangming District of Jingzhou is currently in a vortex."
Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng's eyes lit up. Truly, he was a child raised by a top-tier wealthy family.
This level of political insight is beyond the comprehension of ordinary families.
"Yunfei, I'm twelve years older than you. You're Xiaolan's husband. We're all family."
Have you ever considered changing to a different district/county?
"Guangming District of Jingzhou City is a landmine right now. We don't know when it will explode," Governor Liu said slowly, his words hitting the nail on the head.
Lin Yunfei was both amused and exasperated: "I wanted to too, Uncle Liu. My grandfather and father-in-law made the decision themselves."
Liu Cheng snapped out of his daze, opened the safe in his study, and took out a file folder: "This is information about the Guangming District. Take a good look at it."
"This information will be helpful to you."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
Lin Yunfei opened the file folder and sat down. After looking at it for a while, he was quite surprised.
The information here is very detailed. It includes information about Ding Yizhen, Secretary of the Guangming District Committee; Sun Liancheng, District Mayor; Dong Guohua, Deputy District Mayor; Zhu Nengcheng, Minister of the Organization Department of the District Committee; and Zheng Lixin, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the District Committee.
The Procuratorate, Executive Deputy Procurator-General Lin Youzhi. Procurator-General Ji Changming.
Detailed information on each person, including any mistakes they have made. Who accepted bribes or abused their position to seek illicit gains.
There are even lower-level positions, such as the director of the Land and Resources Bureau, the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and the director of the Education Bureau.
It's written very clearly who belongs to whom.
Normal things are glossed over, abnormal things are analyzed word by word.
Lin Yunfei read it carefully, then stood up with a serious expression and bowed to Liu Cheng: "Thank you, Uncle Liu."
“I’m new here and don’t know many people. Your information is a lifesaver.”
Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile knowingly, "I found out about Ding Yizhen's bribery and corruption a long time ago. I just kept quiet about it."
