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

Chapter 9 Heading to the Bright District

Li Dakang!

Xia Qing only knew the nominal roles and hadn't read much of the story.

However, it is also known that Li Dakang is a radical and reformist who is extremely protective of his reputation.

The last Standing Committee meeting was held to address the long-standing issue of land acquisition and demolition for the Dafeng Factory.

It's a good opportunity to take this chance to visit Guangming District and meet this member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Let's also take a look at what the Bright District has become.

Guangmingfeng Project and Dafeng Factory land acquisition and demolition.

There are quite a few things that could give Li Dakang a headache!

Oh, and Ding Yizhen escaped...

Seeing that Xia Qing was thinking about something, Gao Yuliang said softly:

"Xia Qing, go back and prepare. The new assessment plan and the issue of unfreezing cadres are all on your shoulders."

Xia Qing came to her senses, stood up, and bowed, saying:

"Okay, Secretary Gao, I'll be going now."

Take care.

Gao Yuliang watched Xia Qing leave, his thoughts drifting back to the present.

It seems that I and Xia Qing have had a small collaboration.

Hopefully, this trend can be maintained in the long term.

At the very least, I need to hold out until I've recovered from Sarrijin's offensive.

However, the matter of cooperating with Xia Qing.

Qi Tongwei must not be informed for the time being.

If Qi Tongwei finds out, the Zhao family behind him will find out too.

His collaboration with Xia Qing will certainly be interpreted as "changing allegiance".

That would put us in a very passive position.

Gao Yuliang slowly leaned back in his chair, took out his favorite book from the drawer, and began to read.

The Fifteenth Year of Wanli.

……

After reporting to Gao Yuliang, Xia Qing returned to his department and told the liaison officer, Xiao Duan, about the arrangements for going to Guangming District to investigate the five cadres whose accounts had been frozen.

A few hours later, at Building No. 1 of the Provincial Party Committee compound.

Sha Ruijin's office.

Tian Guofu walked briskly, but his expression was somewhat serious.

He plopped down opposite Sha Ruijin and said, as if complaining:

"Secretary Sha, Xia Qing is going to Guangming District to investigate the situation of those five officials whose accounts have been frozen."

Sha Ruijin's pen paused only slightly before returning to normal, and he spoke in a fairly calm tone:

"That's great! Investigation and research are the best way to solve problems."

Tian Guofu continued his report:

"Secretary Dakang just called to ask if this was your instruction or Xia Qing's own action?"

"Is there a difference? Does Secretary Dakang not want to see Minister Xia Qing?" Sha Ruijin smiled and did not stop writing.

Seeing Sha Ruijin's nonchalant attitude, Tian Guofu said anxiously:

"Secretary Sha! Xia Qing went to Guangming District specifically to see those five officials whose accounts were frozen; someone must have given him some pointers! After all, one of those five is a key figure!"

Sha Ruijin's pen came to an abrupt halt in mid-air.

He then remembered that among the 125 cadres whose positions he had frozen...

Apart from Qi Tongwei, whom they most wanted to suppress.

There is one more person who does not want to be frozen.

They were simply entangled together, a move born of necessity.

This person is Xu Min, the director of the Development and Reform Commission of Guangming District, a deputy division-level cadre.

This person has made great achievements in attracting investment and initiating investment projects in Guangming District.

Especially the Bright Peak project.

For this reason, Xu Min was specially promoted to deputy director of a department of the National Development and Reform Commission.

He was promoted two levels ahead of schedule, from the district to the ministry.

It's still from the National Development and Reform Commission.

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge could guess that Director Xu Min must have some connection with Pei Lao of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Sha Ruijin really didn't want to touch Xu Min.

He originally wanted to put some pressure on Xia Qing so that she would take the initiative to show goodwill and offer a solution to reject Qi Tongwei.

Then, once the document is signed, the cadre is unfrozen.

Xu Min then went to a ministry as a matter of course, and the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qing not only refused to respond, but also planned to seriously introduce a new set of investigation methods.

She even grew closer to Gao Yuliang.

This is something Sha Ruijin absolutely does not want to see.

Furthermore, Xia Qing took the initiative to meet with the five cadres whose positions had been frozen.

Xu Min will definitely report back to his superiors that Xia Qing is very concerned about his frozen assets and took the initiative to talk to him in Guangming District.

Then Xia Qing promised to lift the freeze as soon as possible.

At that time, Xia Qing acted as a good person and gained favors from Pei Lao's faction.

Sha Ruijin thus became a villain who disregarded rules and showed no mercy.

Finally, Xia Qing threw the new plan aside.

Whether Sha Ruijin signs or not, he is in a very passive position.

We cannot allow Xia Qing to push forward with the new investigation method so easily.

Regardless of the circumstances, even if this plan is approved, Sha Ruijin will still need to get the leverage he wants from it.

Thinking of this, Sha Ruijin resumed writing with his pen, and asked:

"By the way, has Director Hou, the one sent by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, arrived in Handong yet?"

Tian Guofu replied:

"I just landed this morning, and I should be getting familiar with the place at the provincial procuratorate now."

Sha Ruijin pondered for a moment, then put down his pen and wrote:

"Tell Lao Ji to bring Director Hou to my office at 3 PM this afternoon."

Tian Guofu wisely refrained from asking further questions.

He knew that Secretary Sha's meeting with Hou Liangping at this time was definitely not as simple as a pre-appointment talk.

the other side.

Guangming District, Jingzhou City.

Xia Qing led the team to complete the interviews with the five cadres whose accounts had been frozen.

Especially Xu Min, director of the district development and reform commission.

As the two emerged from the meeting room, Xu Min still held Xia Qing's hand tightly, speaking with utmost sincerity:

"Thank you, Minister Xia! Thank you for the organization's concern! If it weren't for you, I would have had so many grievances I had nowhere to vent..."

Xia Qing held Xu Min's hand in her right hand, gently placing her left hand on the back of his hand, and said with equal sincerity:

"Director Xu! It's truly a pity that such a capable and outstanding cadre as you has been implicated and had your employment suspended! I assure you that I will meet with Secretary Sha tonight to truthfully report the new evaluation methods and the materials from our conversation, and strive to begin the process of unfreezing your employment immediately!"

Xu Min nodded repeatedly, while Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Before the conversation, Xia Qing reviewed Xu Min's resume and the position he was to be appointed to.

When he saw the exceptional promotion, the two-level advancement to the National Development and Reform Commission, he was deeply moved.

It was immediately determined that this person belonged to Director Pei's faction in the capital.

This enormous Buddha statue was frozen in Handong.

No wonder the people who wanted to pull him up reacted so strongly.

You have to understand, once you reach the positions of those big shots in the capital...

Everything else is irrelevant.

But you must understand the rules.

Director Pei is going to promote him from the district level to the ministry level, making an exception for him.

You, Sha Ruijin, froze his account directly.

To put it mildly, it's called breaking the rules.

The main point is that they stood out and sang a different tune.

Director Pei certainly couldn't tolerate it.

In this matter, they probably put a lot of pressure on their superiors.

No wonder the higher-ups were so eager to appoint a new Minister of Organization for Handong, to unfreeze cadres, and to stabilize the situation.

Xia Qing couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If a few of these officials whose accounts have been frozen have a background as powerful as Xu Min's, then...

Handong is really in trouble now.

At that time, I, as the organization minister, will definitely be held responsible.

Now, he has the advantage of knowing Xu Min's hand in advance.

They gained the other party's trust.

If the subsequent thawing process cannot be initiated...

The one who will be in trouble is definitely Sha Ruijin.

After all, Organization Minister Xia Qing had already expressed his concern for the cadres whose accounts were frozen, especially for Director Pei's close associates, whom he showed great care for.

It's Sha Ruijin who refused to sign; what does that have to do with me, Xia Qing?

They've already made the right gesture!

Thinking of this, Xia Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

My awe of Gao Yuliang deepened even further.

Gao Yuliang specifically asked him to come to Guangming District to meet with the cadres whose accounts had been frozen.

His purpose was to get in touch with Xu Min.

He removed himself from the matter of freezing the cadres, and then gained favors from Xu Min and even Director Pei's faction.

At the same time, by leveraging Xu Min's connections, they can pressure Sha Ruijin to pass the new assessment method as soon as possible and unfreeze these 125 cadres from Handong.

Kill three birds with one stone!

It appears that this was a gift from Gao Yuliang to himself.

After I took the initiative to show goodwill to Gao Yuliang, what was the other party's attitude?
