Chapter 399

Sha Rui glanced at these two top leaders of the provincial government, a special look flashing in his eyes. These two people hadn't been in office for many days and they were already clashing?

And both of them knew the situation in the province very well.

But this Vice Governor Huang clearly had done his homework on the situation in the province, especially regarding Su Yang.

Thinking back to Zhou Weiguo having been to Jingcheng, and this Vice Governor Huang himself being from Jingcheng, the two must have had past intersections.

And it seems the relationship is very good; otherwise, he wouldn't have spared no effort to support Su Yang at the first meeting.

Of course, this Governor Zhao probably felt that his face had been slapped, so he wanted to impose certain punishments.

The two of them started arm-wrestling just after taking office. This couldn't be called a good thing for him, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing either.

It was this Su Yang who had completely attracted his attention.

He cleared his throat and said, "Since your opinions are basically the same, then let's execute it accordingly."

"The spanking that needs to be given must be given, but the problems that need to be handled must be handled clearly. I emphasize that no matter who is involved or what relationships are behind it, it must be investigated and punished strictly."

"And I will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter, and I will also pay attention to the result."

Less than two hours after the meeting ended, the investigation team had already been established. It was truly the first time for such efficiency in government departments.

On the same afternoon, near the end of the workday, the Organization Department announced two personnel appointments.

Appointment: Comrade Fang Runan as Deputy Minister of the Organization Department.

Appointment: Comrade Zhou Weiguo as Standing Committee Member of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Secretary, Vice Governor, and Secretary of the Provincial Government Party Group.

These two pieces of news exploded like bombs within the system of Ganzhou Province.

Those who were originally sitting and waiting to watch a good show suddenly felt a chill. No one expected that Fang Runan would be directly promoted to serve as Deputy Minister of the Organization Department; this was the ceiling that all deputy ministerial-level cadres looked up to.

And what shocked them even more was that Zhou Weiguo had ascended to the sky in one step, becoming the Governor of Jiangnan Province.

The leaders of the Public Security Department, the Publicity Department, and several mainstream media outlets who had already received news that this matter would be thoroughly investigated were already trembling. After receiving this news, several of them were scared to the point of wetting themselves.

And those who were half-smart actually started faking illness and calling 120, sending themselves straight to the hospital.

These people had spent half their lives in the system and knew that the promotion of these two people would have a huge impact on Ganzhou Province. If it were a lateral transfer or a nominal promotion with actual demotion, their influence would gradually weaken.

But these two were experts. Even Secretary Sha had to treat them with courtesy, let alone others.

Those who were close to these two leaders on a daily basis were fine; they even began to rejoice in secret, with various dinner invitations and congratulatory calls and messages being sent out one after another.

But those who had thought about playing little tricks behind the scenes were regretting it so much that their intestines were turning green. They wished they could be remade, wished time could flow backward, and wished this matter had never happened.

But the facts had already occurred, and what awaited them next would surely be thunderous rage.

Officialdom has always been like this. As long as an official is rising, some things don't need them to do; naturally, many people will stand up to do them.

The purpose of doing so is nothing more than to curry favor with the person concerned. Clearly, Zhou Weiguo and Fang Runan were extremely qualified to be curried favor with.

After Huang Dacheng returned to his office, he first called Zhou Weiguo,

"Governor Weiguo, congratulations."

"I've been holding back this news of yours for so long; it's finally announced. This just happens to give those petty people a taste of their own medicine."

"Actually, the leaders above didn't originally decide on Jiangnan Province. The reason you were able to step into place in one go this time and preside over a major economic province is, on one hand, because your qualifications are solid and your political achievements are brilliant."

"On the other hand, it's your good son-in-law. He added a lot of points for you by following you. If I were you, I would call your future son-in-law this time, and the two of you could sit in a small tavern and celebrate properly."

"How about this, let's say no more. You haven't held a welcome banquet for me since I came to our Ganzhou Province, right? So I'm taking the liberty of deciding for tonight. You can't give anyone else face; you must save this face for me."

"This meal must be for me to congratulate you on your promotion. Of course, I also know your phone has long been blown up. Various people with various compliments, I guess you can't even look at them all, right?"

Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "You, consider me owing you a meal. Su Yang did indeed help me add a lot of points; this kid is my lucky star. But it's not as exaggerated as you say, otherwise, what if this kid gets cocky?"

"Also, I did intend to hold a welcome banquet for you. I originally planned not to have many people, just our whole family inviting you to a meal, which would be in the form of a family dinner."

"But since the appointment came out today, the leaders of the Organization Department asked me to report tomorrow, so I must rush over tonight. I'm already on my way to the airport. I really have to say sorry to you. Next time you come to Jingcheng, you pick the place, and then we'll have a good drink together."

What Zhou Weiguo said was the truth. He originally wanted to invite Huang Dacheng to a meal, but it was delayed by various things. Of course, he didn't expect the timing for him to report would be so tight.

Huang Dacheng heard this and said, "Is that so? Then I was being too sensitive. I should have invited you to a meal earlier and hugged your thigh, Governor Zhou, so I could follow you to progress in the future."

"Since you are already on your way to the airport, I won't say more. As you said, we'll have a good drink together after you get to Jingcheng."

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Of course, before that, I must make a self-criticism; I am not a qualified uncle."

"Regarding what happened this time, I didn't protect Su Yang well."

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo probably already guessed what it was about. He said, "Dacheng, you're being too formal. Young people still need to be tempered as they grow. I think this is a good thing for him. As for how the organization handles it, that's the organization's business. Actually, I've been thinking about not participating too much."

The artistry of this statement was as high as it could get. Not wanting to participate too much doesn't mean he isn't participating.

"Forget it, you. You still say you want to let young people be tempered as they grow. This is just a small test, and you're already unhappy. Of course, the matter is generally good, and I will find a way to compensate your future son-in-law in the future."

Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "Alright, stop beating around the bush. Just say it, what is the Provincial Committee's final handling opinion?"
