Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 15 Planning

The third day of the unfreezing of cadres in Handong.

Xia Qing received a phone call that delighted him.

Xia Qing received good news from her old classmate Zhu Zhanyan, the director of the Human Resources and Social Security Department of Handong Province, whom she visited as soon as she arrived in Handong.

"Hey? Minister Xia! I'm here to report to you!"

Hearing Zhu Zhanyan's familiar tone on the phone, Xia Qing couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Director Zhu, what good news makes you so happy?"

"Isn't this the work you arranged? Having the Civil Service Bureau investigate the usage of civil servant positions and ranks across the province," Zhu Zhanyan said in a good mood.

"Progress is going smoothly, and we expect to complete the preliminary investigation within three months."

Xia Qing was also breathing rapidly due to her excitement.

The preliminary investigation went surprisingly smoothly!

In this way, by gaining an early understanding of the usage of civil servant ranks and positions in Handong, and by making Handong a pilot area for the parallel rank system, a long-term plan in response to the central government's call has been established, which can be considered a good start.

If this work is successfully implemented, it will be a major achievement nationwide.

It has the same impact as five new assessment methods.

The positive impact on Xia Qing and even the Xia family is immeasurable.

"Thank you for your hard work, old classmate. Please put in a lot of effort on this. We'll both get credit for it together."

After Xia Qing finished speaking earnestly, Zhu Zhanyan replied with a smile:

"Alright, alright, I'll keep a close eye on things. You get to eat the meat, and I'll just have a sip of soup! Haha!"

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Xia Qing sat in her office, feeling incredibly excited.

The unfreezing of cadres is progressing smoothly, and the experience materials of the new assessment method have been submitted to the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for recommendation and are currently undergoing review.

The preliminary assessment of job levels and positions is also proceeding as scheduled.

Each task was carried out in an orderly manner.

These are all real achievements.

Only by possessing these qualities can one be considered capable of doing things.

Such cadres can establish themselves anywhere.

After all, only when you are truly capable will others respect you.

Xia Qing stretched.

These days, things have gradually calmed down in Handong.

At the Standing Committee meeting, the agenda items were discussed in an orderly manner, and no one took the initiative to provoke Gao Yuliang.

During the several meetings, the Standing Committee members were unusually harmonious, and sometimes they even joked with each other.

Xia Qing knew that beneath the calm surface lay a raging storm.

Because he showed a clear inclination to elevate Yu Liang, he also established a cooperative relationship with Sha Ruijin.

With checks and balances and cooperation from various parties, the complex situation in Handong has presented a brief period of calm!

But this is exactly the effect Xia Qing wanted!

Only in such an environment can one have the opportunity to work, start a business, and achieve results.

Even a brief period of peace would be enough for Xia Qing to make a successful landing and settle down in Handong.

In the future, all we need to do is achieve results step by step.

During this rare moment of leisure, Xia Qing decided to browse through the list of cadres in Handong.

Unearth those outstanding cadres who have been overlooked and forgotten.

Let them take on key positions, contribute to the development of Handong, and do something practical for the people.

This is Xia Qing's unwavering commitment to her original aspiration.

This is also the fundamental reason why he has been able to maintain a steady pace all this time.

While browsing through the list of cadres in various cities and prefectures of Handong, Xia Qing suddenly saw a familiar name.

Easy to learn.

Xia Qing suddenly remembered.

I've heard of this person in name only; he's a very upright, capable, and hardworking cadre who dares to confront tough issues head-on.

He helped Li Dakang with his problems in his early years, but was never given important responsibilities.

Later, he was discovered by Sha Ruijin and promoted exceptionally, becoming Sha Ruijin's first vanguard in launching an offensive against the Zhao family.

At the same time, easy learning is also a powerful tool.

When this sword is wielded, it truly shows no mercy and makes no distinction between friend and foe.

However, if we can get in touch with them in advance, we can promote their learning.

Perhaps in his heart, she could become a more important person than Sha Ruijin.

Xia Qing believes this is a worthwhile investment.

He knew that Sha Ruijin's arrival in Handong was not only about integrating the political resources that had been taken over by Handong.

Another task is to eradicate the deeply entrenched corruption and power-money transactions that have spread here.

Although this work is aimed at the Zhao family, it can indeed restore a clean and upright, and renewed Handong to the people.

Both morally and logically, Xia Qing should be supported.

Currently, Sha Ruijin is still busy making arrangements and has not yet launched a thorough anti-corruption campaign.

But this work will definitely begin.

We are just waiting for the order from above.

Or the situation in Handong may suddenly deteriorate.

Once it starts, no one can remain unaffected.

Therefore, Xia Qing had to plan ahead.

Promote capable people first.

After the large-scale anti-corruption campaign begins.

Firstly, if you discover capable people in advance and they achieve results, you will also have some credit.

Secondly, it allows us to grasp the trends and progress of anti-corruption work across the province in a timely manner.

Thirdly, even if these people stir up a hornet's nest, they are only fulfilling the duties of the organization minister in discovering cadres, and will not get burned.

Three birds with one stone.

Having made up her mind, Xia Qing wrote Yi Xuexi's name in her notebook.

Preparations are underway until the unfreezing of cadres is 70% complete and the new assessment methods have passed the review of typical experiences by the Organization Department of the Central Committee.

Lead the team to the grassroots level and promote outstanding cadres, with Yi Xuexi at the forefront.

At the same time, we should listen to the voices from the grassroots and plan for ways to reduce their burdens and improve their treatment.

Xia Qing couldn't help but smile wryly. This was only the planning stage, and there was only so much that could be done and needed to be done.

Being the head of the organization department is no easy job!

As I was looking at the list, my phone suddenly rang.

Xia Qing opened the caller ID and saw that it was from Lei Yu, the executive vice minister.

He couldn't help but frown. Normally, the executive would call his personal phone to explain that there was an emergency and that he needed to be informed immediately.

Xia Qing answered the phone:

"Minister Lei, this is Xia Qing."

On the other end of the phone, Lei Yu's voice came through, urgent yet tinged with anger:

"Minister, something's happened! I was leading a team to 'unfreeze' cadres at the Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development when a group from the Provincial Procuratorate arrived. Without explaining anything to us, they forcibly took away these cadres who were under investigation!"

"What did you say? The Provincial Procuratorate?" Xia Qing realized something was wrong and instinctively stood up, saying seriously:

"Do you understand what's going on? They don't know we're conducting an inspection?"

Lei Yu said anxiously:

"They say there's corruption among these officials whose accounts have been frozen! They're suspending the re-investigation process until they've clarified the situation, then they'll release them. We ask for your understanding, organization department!"

Corruption?

Xia Qing's brain was working at high speed.

Xia Qing was aware that there were indeed problems with some of the cadres involved.

Therefore, he specifically placed these people in the third batch, intending to investigate them and conclude that they were "problematic cadres," thus rejecting their promotion and appointment.

Sha Ruijin did not offer any opinions.

But now, the people from the provincial procuratorate have actually gone so far as to snatch people away, and their actions are so forceful!

Why did they dare to do this?

This made Xia Qing suspect that the Provincial Procuratorate might have been instructed by someone.

The situation has become complicated again.

Xia Qing's tone also turned cold as she asked:

"Do you know which department in the provincial procuratorate? Do you have the necessary paperwork and documentation for the arrest?"

Lei Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant and said:

"I remember now, they were from the provincial procuratorate's anti-corruption bureau! They took the people away without any paperwork, just flashed their work badges! Oh, and the leader introduced himself!"

"Call him Hou Liangping!"
