According to Yingjun City's arrangements, Lu Fan arrived at the Yingjun City Government Service Hall, where Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member, Municipal Party Secretary Peng Yongchang, and Mayor Shao Zhenhuan were already waiting at the entrance.

"After meeting, Peng Yongchang enthusiastically said: 'Welcome, Secretary Lu, to inspect and guide work in Yingjun City; we have been eagerly awaiting!'"

After meeting, Peng Yongchang enthusiastically said: "Welcome, Secretary Lu, to inspect and guide work in Yingjun City; we have been eagerly awaiting!"

"Lu Fan smiled and said: 'As long as you don't mind my trouble! Yingjun City is the 'elder brother' of all cities; we must be the 'vanguard' in all work and must not drag down the province's off-post personnel clearing work.'"

Lu Fan smiled and said: "As long as you don't mind my trouble! Yingjun City is the 'elder brother' of all cities; we must be the 'vanguard' in all work and must not hold back the province's off-post personnel clearing work."

"Peng Yongchang, without changing expression, said: 'Please rest assured, Secretary; Yingjun City will firmly shoulder the responsibility of the provincial capital, ensuring that all provincial committee deployments are implemented and effective in Yingjun.'"

Peng Yongchang, without changing expression, said: "Please rest assured, Secretary; Yingjun City will firmly shoulder the responsibility of the provincial capital, ensuring that all provincial committee deployments are implemented and take effect in Yingjun."

"Entering the Government Hall, staff at all windows were in place, working busily and orderly, handling affairs; a steady stream of people came to handle business, and the hall presented a busy scene."

"Peng Yongchang sighed: 'Secretary, after the provincial mobilization meeting, I personally deployed and conducted a preliminary statistics of off-post personnel in Yingjun City; I feel this work faces many difficulties. For example, in this Government Hall, three-fifths of the staff are off-post personnel; once they are cleared, many departments' operations may fall into stagnation...'"

Peng Yongchang sighed: "Secretary, after the provincial mobilization meeting, I personally deployed and conducted a preliminary survey of off-post personnel in Yingjun City; I feel this work faces many difficulties. For example, in this Government Hall, three-fifths of the staff are off-post personnel; once they are cleared, many departments' operations may fall into stagnation..."

"Lu Fan interrupted: 'Secretary Yongchang, where are the regular staff? Why aren't they working? Do you mean the provincial committee's decision is wrong? Not in line with reality?'"

Lu Fan interrupted: "Secretary Yongchang, where are the regular staff? Why aren't they working? Do you mean the provincial committee's decision is wrong? Not in line with reality?"

"Peng Yongchang hastily explained: 'Secretary, I don't mean that; clearing off-post personnel is imperative, and I firmly support it.'"

Peng Yongchang hastily explained: "Secretary, I don't mean that; clearing off-post personnel is imperative, and I firmly support it."

"First, clearing off-post personnel helps streamline the staffing of government and public institutions, optimize work processes, reduce management costs, and improve work efficiency and management standards. Second, clearing off-post personnel helps optimize the staffing structure of government and public institutions, promote fair competition, and solve problems such as unreasonable staff allocation, internal management chaos, and non-standard recruitment procedures."

Second, clearing off-post personnel helps optimize the staffing structure of government and public institutions, promote fair competition, and solve problems such as unreasonable staff allocation, internal management chaos, and non-standard recruitment procedures.

"However, clearing off-post personnel also brings some negative impacts. First, it may affect personal vital interests, especially those who have worked in government and public institutions for many years and rely on this job for livelihood. Second, clearing off-post personnel may affect the stability and reputation of government and public institutions, because these personnel have contributed for many years; if suddenly cleared, it will cause public dissatisfaction and questioning, affecting the image and reputation of government and public institutions."

"In summary, clearing off-post personnel must be analyzed and decided based on actual conditions, to be resolved gradually. During the clearing process, we must fully consider all interests, ensuring fairness, justice, and transparency, while also strengthening supervision and management of government and public institutions to guarantee that the clearing of off-post personnel is legal, compliant, fair, and transparent. For those affected off-post personnel, we should actively help them find new job opportunities and assist them in a smooth transition."

"Lu Fan said solemnly: 'Comrade Peng Yongchang, I feel you have not grasped the spirit and opinion of the provincial committee; the entire off-post personnel clearing work is divided into three steps, now is the initial stage, this month's task is to ascertain the baseline, then implement by category.'"

Lu Fan said solemnly: "Comrade Peng Yongchang, I feel you have not grasped the spirit and opinion of the provincial committee; the entire off-post personnel clearing work is divided into three steps, now is the initial stage, this month's task is to ascertain the baseline, then implement by category."

"Regarding your question, regulations stipulate that off-post personnel be appropriately streamlined according to the staffing vacancy rate of government and public institutions. For example, if the approved number is 100 but only 80 are actually staffed, the vacancy rate is 20%, and off-post personnel within this range may be retained. Our first step is to clear off-post personnel who entered units in violation of rules; in fully staffed or overstaffed units, we clear hired off-post personnel."

"Regular staff should change their identity, step into society and take up posts! They should serve the people well! Offices don't need so many people sitting!"

"I said at the mobilization meeting that those who falsely report or conceal reports should be cleared; delaying the clearing process, fraud—once verified, the unit's head will be removed on the spot! I represent the provincial committee, after all, words must be deeds! December 1 is the final deadline for ledger reporting; please give high importance to this, Yingjun City."

"'Secretary, Yingjun City will surely keep pace with deadlines and work progress, and complete the clearing task with high quality.' No matter what, Peng Yongchang had to accept it first."

"Lu Fan said: 'Go to the Municipal Party Committee, gather the relevant departments, hold a symposium, and I will repeat to you the provincial committee's spirit and requirements for clearing work!'"

Lin Changping waved his hand: "No need to trouble the Municipal Party Committee; the Organization Department is the lead unit for clearing work; you just prepare quickly; later we will conduct item-by-item inspections according to supervision requirements."

Wen Chaozhi looked embarrassed, because the Organization Department had not yet launched this work; Secretary Lei, after finishing the provincial meeting, instructed: "Just take a look, no rush."

"Knowing that the 'Thunderbolt Hand' of the discipline inspection system is hard to fool, Wen Chaozhi bluntly said: 'Secretary Lin, Sanmen City's off-post personnel clearing work is arranged by the Municipal Party Committee; the Organization Department has not yet received instructions from Secretary Lei, so we have not started related work…'"

"Lin Changping immediately interrupted: 'Director Wen, the provincial plan is clear; the Organization Department is the lead department for clearing off-post personnel; you should carry out work according to the provincial plan directly—why do you still need to ask for approval? Or are provincial documents invalid in Sanmen City? Can I consider you derelict in duty?'"

"After they left, Han Yu whispered: 'I guess they have nothing; how do we handle this?'"

After they left, Han Yu whispered: "I guess they have nothing; how do we handle this?"

"Lin Changping replied: 'If we don't show some strength, they won't take us seriously. The purpose of supervision is to promote clearing work; we must implement Secretary Lu's instructions; later I'll play the bad guy.'"

Lin Changping replied: "If we don't show some strength, they won't take us seriously. The purpose of supervision is to promote clearing work; we must implement Secretary Lu's instructions; later I'll play the bad guy."

"Han Yu laughed and replied: 'Your deterrence is strong; I need to cooperate by giving you a look; no matter how we do it, I'll follow you.'"

Han Yu laughed and replied: "Your deterrence is strong; I need to cooperate by giving you a look; no matter how we do it, I'll follow you."

"Less than ten minutes later, Sanmen City Municipal Party Secretary Lei Xingxing entered with a beaming smile: 'Secretary Lin, Section Chief Han, why didn't you even say hello? We should have prepared something; sorry for the neglect, please forgive.'"

Less than ten minutes later, Sanmen City Municipal Party Secretary Lei Xingxing entered with a beaming smile: "Secretary Lin, Section Chief Han, why didn't you even say hello? We should have prepared something; sorry for the neglect, please forgive."

The two rose to greet; Lin Changping replied: "Secretary Lei, you're too polite; we are sent to supervise the clearing of off-post personnel, this work is led by the Organization Department, so we won't disturb the Municipal Party Committee."

Lei Xingxing laughed and said: "The whole city is one chessboard; the Municipal Party Committee attaches great importance to clearing work; currently we are actively planning, still in the research stage; the Organization Department's work may be lagging; please understand."

"Lin Changping solemnly replied: 'Secretary Lei, this really cannot be excused; before coming down, the provincial committee held a special meeting for all supervision teams, demanding that those who shirk responsibility, derelict in duty, perfunctory, passive, sluggish, irresponsible, causing negative effects, be subject to strengthened supervision and discipline, strict pursuit of responsibility, urging all levels and departments to fulfill their duties, forcing a change in work style, providing strong work style guarantees for fully achieving the clearing targets.'"

"I feel that the Sanmen City Municipal Organization Department has treated the provincial committee's instructions as wind in the ears, seriously lacking a global perspective and overall awareness; the supervision team will take corresponding measures based on inspection results."

"Lei Xingxing's face showed displeasure as he said: 'Secretary Lin, reform cannot be achieved overnight; the city has its own difficulties. First, clearing off-post personnel will undoubtedly increase employment pressure; many off-post personnel have worked in units for years, familiar with the work patterns. Once laid off, they will need to find new jobs.'"

Once laid off, they will need to find new jobs."

"Second, if these long-serving off-post personnel are laid off, it will undoubtedly affect the work of these units, reducing work efficiency and preventing completion of scheduled work within limited time. For example, in the sanitation department, street sweepers are all temporary workers; should they be cleared…"

"Lin Changping retorted: 'True sanitation workers are all on the public payroll, sitting in offices drinking tea; now shouldn't they come out to sweep the streets? Secretary Lei, I am sent to supervise the progress of clearing off-post personnel; what you say I don't understand and has nothing to do with me! If you question the provincial committee's decisions and deployment, you can report to Secretary Jingchen or Secretary Lu; I am just a worker; please have Sanmen City cooperate with supervision work.'"

Lei Xingxing, at a loss for words, bluntly said: "The Municipal Party Committee is researching how to scientifically carry out clearing work; after adequate preparation, we will orderly carry out this work."

Lin Changping asked, "That is to say, so far there has been no trace of any development work in Sanmen City?"
