Chapter 360

Discipline Inspection Committee website - Former Provincial Party Secretary Liu Zhen Guo has been placed under investigation and is under review.

After the news spread to Qinchuan, it stirred up a thousand waves—no one knows how many people are left panicking all day.

In the spacious and bright mayor's office, Sun Weidong Sun Weidong stands by the window, gazing at Yingjiang City outside, his heart filled with anxiety and unease, his face pale, his spirit listless, having completely lost his former vigor.

As a cadre promoted by Liu Zhen Guo, he had sensed something was wrong a year ago; today these rumors have finally been confirmed—what should he do?

Should he resist to the end? Or should he proactively confess and seek leniency? Even Sun Weidong thought of fleeing!

Sun Weidong stands at the crossroads of fate, pondering his future, torn inside, because any decision is extremely difficult!

In this matter, Secretary Chen Jiazhong arranged work for Hong Tao in the office, placing the heavy responsibility of provincial institutional reform on him, smiling and saying: 'You are an expert in institutional reform; this task is yours to undertake!'

Hong Tao did not decline, saying: 'Secretary, I will certainly give my all to the work you assigned, but institutional reform is a huge responsibility; without your support I absolutely cannot do it!'

Chen Jiazhong laughed: 'I know you want to truly streamline institutions; just follow your idea, I and the Provincial Party Committee will definitely support—first, take a look at this!'

Hong Tao took the document handed by Chen Jiazhong, glanced at it and his face changed; as he read, he said: 'Secretary, I didn't expect it to involve so many; it seems the higher-ups have made up their minds this time!'

Chen Jiazhong sighed: 'Deputy bureau level! We need to quickly assign cadres in place, eliminate negative influence, and get Qinchuan back on the right track.'

Avoiding responsibility as an official is a lifelong shame; Hong Tao did not hesitate to take on the heavy responsibility, and even joked: 'Secretary, I'm worried about how institutional reform will digest leadership positions—now it's great, we can fully carry out reform according to my conception. What I'm concerned about is, as the case investigation deepens, these over a hundred leaders could turn into over a hundred nested cases, which would truly hurt the bones and muscles; many positions would face the dilemma of having no one available.'

Chen Jiazhong said: 'So I'm putting you in charge of this work; while investigating, we also need to prepare for personnel selection and appointment!'

Holding the document and returning to the office, Hong Tao wondered why the names of Duan Pengfei and Le Xue Ren were missing from the list—perhaps someone spoke up for them!

August 18: Secretary Tang Yi inspected Qinchuan Province, accompanied by the Deputy Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee.

Now, cadres linked to Liu Zhen Guo in Qinchuan can't sit still; people who like to watch the spectacle say Secretary Tang personally came to sound the death knell for Qinchuan's corrupt elements.

August 23: Secretary Li Mingzhou went to the Provincial Party Committee to attend the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting.

At the meeting, Secretary Chen Jiazhong personally conveyed the investigation decision regarding Liu Zhen Guo; standing committee members expressed their positions, upholding the superior decision.

The Standing Committee meeting decided, led by Comrade Hong Tao, with the Organization, Discipline Inspection, and Public Prosecution and Law departments participating, to establish the Liu Zhen Guo Special Task Force; according to superior feedback, they will investigate and handle the people and matters involved in the Liu Zhen Guo case.

After the meeting, Li Mingzhou specifically went to Hong Tao's office to inquire, wanting to know whether Le Xue Ren is within the investigation scope.

But Hong Tao shook his head and said: 'Secretary Li Mingzhou, I won't hide it from you—the list transferred by the Discipline Inspection Committee has six deputy bureau-level individuals, but he is not among them!'

Li Mingzhou hesitated a moment, then said: 'After the year, I may have to leave Qinchuan Province. Secretary Wang, can you think of a way to drag him in?'

Hong Tao thought and said: 'Secretary Li Mingzhou, then I'll congratulate you in advance! The list was personally transferred by Secretary Tang to Qinchuan Province; definitely the result of careful study by the Organization Department; temporarily not advisable to expand. However, regarding his matter, I have it in mind—don't rush, there will be time!'

The news of the Provincial Party Committee establishing a special task force quickly spread throughout all party and government organs at all levels in Qinchuan Province, attracting widespread attention across the province; Hong Tao naturally became the focus figure watched by the whole province; any movement of the special task force will inevitably tug at countless hearts.

August 24 evening, Lu Fan returned to Ningyang accompanied by Du Wenlong, and late at night visited County Party Secretary Bian Jide, chatting for over an hour.

The next evening, Lu Fan again went to Fangzhou County, having a detailed talk with County Party Secretary Liu Yu Heng for a long time.

Liu Yu Heng being able to come to Fangzhou County is thanks to Lu Fan's full promotion; he naturally listens to and follows Lu Fan.

Before working in the city, Le Xue Ren previously served in Ningyang County and Fangzhou County.

Soon, the central and provincial Discipline Inspection Committees received many detailed complaint letters about Le Xue Ren.

After over a year of training, Lu Yao passed the probation period with outstanding performance, and due to her 'special' experience received 'special' cultivation by the Discipline Inspection Committee; upon regularization her position was set as Level 1 Principal Staff Member.

When allocating positions, Lu Yao strove and was successfully assigned to the Ninth Discipline Inspection and Supervision Room, liaising with the five northwestern provinces.

The Liu Zhen Guo case is handled by the Ninth Room; Lu Yao was involved throughout the case, so the list in Secretary Tang Yi's hand is clear to her. She happily believes that finally Le Xue Ren can be brought to justice!

But Lu Yao never expected that the name she looked forward to would disappear from the list when it was transferred to Qinchuan Province!

September 1: the new semester begins, and various schools in Ganshui start registration.

The parents of the whole county happily discovered that this semester again they didn't pay a single cent to the schools, including those in the county town!

You should know, the number of students in the county town is several times that of the township students; the sudden good news made parents beam with joy and leap with delight!

However, an even greater surprise is still to come! When parents registered, the homeroom teacher notified: starting this semester, the school will provide free three meals a day for students; interested parents please register promptly!

For many families this is undoubtedly a timely help, reducing considerable financial burden and completely liberating parents; you should know that currently Ganshui has many job positions—as long as you can endure hardship, earning four to five thousand per month is no problem. They don't need to worry about children's meals; they can earn money peacefully!

This good news instantly exploded across the various schools of the county town; parents spread the word, excitement overflowed; gratitude toward Lu Fan surged like a tide; they praised him as a good secretary who does practical deeds and good deeds for the people.

A 'small' change, yet it contains great warmth and care. True meaningful free education lets every child enjoy fair educational opportunity—this undoubtedly brings great blessings to the people of Ganshui County. And starting today, the formal implementation of the 'Ganshui Medical Reform' further delivers medical security to every household's doorstep, so people no longer worry about difficult or expensive medical treatment. These genuine measures are like the warm sun in winter, warming every Ganshui person's heart.

Secretary Lu, since taking office, has been dedicated to Ganshui's development, understanding the people's needs and difficulties, actively promoting various reform and development measures; Ganshui's economy has seen rapid development, agriculture, industry, tourism and other fields have achieved notable achievements. At the same time, he also focuses on improving livelihood, increasing investment in education and healthcare, letting Ganshui people enjoy more benefits.

Lu Fan's efforts and dedication have gained unanimous recognition and support from Ganshui cadres and masses; everyone firmly believes that under Secretary Lu's leadership, Ganshui's development is full of hope, and the lives of Ganshui people will also get better and better.

Now is the era of self-media; Ganshui recently organized a short video competition; thus countless Ganshui people picked up their phones, recorded beautiful happy lives, and immediately posted online.

At first, many netizens doubted, because this is too unbelievable; although the nation has compulsory education, but every year when school starts, parents still pay money; where is Ganshui County? Never heard of it; on what basis dare they start school without charging? Moreover, they shamelessly claim free three meals for students; if such a place really existed, I'd livestream eating feces upside down!

How could Ganshui people tolerate such 'utter shame and disgrace'? Thus, more people uploaded files and videos, proving that Ganshui people's happiness is genuine!

Ganshui Brother, Ganshui Na Sister, Ganshui Meng Mei, Driving School Old Wang—these Ganshui internet celebrities couldn't stand it either; they wouldn't miss this wave of heat, thus several professional videos were posted online, detailing Ganshui's free education, free three meals, free uniforms, free public transport, and free medical care.

These videos quickly went viral, instantly sparking heated discussion among netizens.

Netizens expressed envy, and some even directly said they wanted to obtain Ganshui's hukou.

Lu Fan immediately contacted Wang Hong Hai; thanks to Douyin's promotion, these videos gained massive traffic, received strong promotion and wide spread, boosting Ganshui County's fame greatly, attracting nationwide attention.

As time passed, Ganshui's heat grew higher, even attracting the attention of many professional 'debunkers'. However, when they came to Ganshui to 'debunk', they discovered a surprising fact—Ganshui's policies are genuine!

After these professional debunkers' 'verification', Ganshui's reputation further increased, becoming one of the hottest topics recently.

Faced with such 'heaven-sent wealth', China Youth Travel naturally wouldn't miss it; they quickly organized a professional team, through careful planning and production, strongly promoted Ganshui's beautiful mountains and rivers and unique cultural charm, especially Ganshui Grand Canyon this scenic spot has the highest heat, attracting massive attention from nationwide tourists.

It can be foreseen that Ganshui's tourism will definitely "burst" during this year's October 1st short holiday!
