Chapter 257 Bai Jingwen takes office



Chapter 257 Bai Jingwen takes office

After seeing Zhu Zhanyan off.

Qi Tongwei's call followed immediately.

Xia Qing roughly knew what Qi Tongwei would say.

As expected, Qi Tongwei expressed his dissatisfaction with the newly appointed executive deputy director over the phone.

To put it bluntly, this is Tian Guofu's attempt to infiltrate the Public Security Bureau and weaken his absolute authority over it.

At the same time, Qi Tongwei also mentioned Luo Jian, the newly appointed Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

The attitude and stance of the new secretary are unclear for the time being. Qi Tongwei only gave him a brief report on his work, and Luo Jian would immediately stop him if he wanted to say more.

To this day, the two remain only casual acquaintances through work.

Qi Tongwei believes he is not worried about the newly appointed Executive Deputy Director-General Cheng Zhaohui.

However, if Luo Jian's attitude is unclear, the Public Security Bureau will face obstacles at every turn in the future.

It won't be so convenient for the prosecutor's office either.

Xia Qing understood; what Qi Tongwei was saying was exactly what he was worried about.

It is clear that Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu have the intention to seize control of the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate.

It all depends on whose side Luo Jian is on.

Qi Tongwei provided another piece of information.

Luo Jian was Sha Ruijin's college classmate.

The two met again later during a training program for leading cadres.

This relationship cannot be ignored.

Xia Qing pondered for a moment.

If Luo Jian is admitted to the Standing Committee, it will be the result of Sha Ruijin's efforts to gain favor with his superiors.

It seems this Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission really needs to help Sha Ruijin.

Fortunately, I managed to secure Luzhou.

From this perspective, it's definitely not a loss.

Xia Qing told Qi Tongwei not to think too much and to focus on the work at hand.

He will personally visit Luo Jian.

As for the structure of the political and legal system, it can only be reversed little by little over time.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Qing finally had time to deal with the most important things.

The ledger regarding the change of land use for Dafeng Factory was sent to Xia Qing.

They were both gifts from Sun Liancheng, the head of Guangming District.

And a copy from the director of the Guangming District Land and Resources Bureau.

Xia Qing frowned after reading them.

Sun Liancheng's application had all the necessary procedures completed and the timelines were on time.

It looks like a very routine land regulation adjustment.

The difference was significant for the director of the Land and Resources Bureau.

The procedures were all in order; the only difference was the timing.

It is quite obvious.

The land use change for the entire Dafeng Factory took less than a month.

Two of the key stages even involved submitting an application, attending a meeting on the same day, and receiving approval the following day.

This level of efficiency is absolutely not up to standard.

In other words, someone gave instructions to expedite the land use change process for Dafeng Factory, even to the point of "special handling".

Xia Qing also discovered an interesting clue in the ledger.

All that could be seen was Ding Yizhen's shadow.

Li Dakang was not mentioned at all.

Could it be that Ding Yizhen, in his capacity as former secretary, exercised his authority to handle the matter in a special way?

There must be something fishy going on here.

Given the known land issues at Dafeng Factory, are there similar problems with other land within the Guangmingfeng project area?

However, there is no sufficient reason at the moment to go to the Guangmingfeng project and conduct a thorough investigation.

We can only wait and see how things develop for now.

Xia Qing then remembered that Bai Jingwen, Sha Ruijin's secretary, was about to take up the post of Party Secretary of Guangming District.

Perhaps he can bring some interesting information.

As she was pondering this, Xia Qing's office was knocked on again.

It's Chen Hai.

His face was ruddy and his face was beaming. The moment he saw Xia Qing, he greeted her respectfully:

"Good morning, Minister!"

Xia Qing quickly welcomed Chen Hai into the house, jokingly saying:

"Prosecutor Chen, you're now a full-fledged department head. Don't you feel the weight of responsibility?"

Chen Hai smiled and said:

"Thanks to you, I was able to be reinstated and even promoted in less than a year after my demotion. I will certainly not let you down! Please feel free to give me any instructions."

Xia Qing pondered for a moment, then said:

"There's no rush now. As a new official, you need to make a strong impression first and establish your authority. We can talk about the rest later."

Chen Hai nodded, then asked another question:

"Minister, are you familiar with the newly arrived Secretary Luo of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission?"

Xia Qing was taken aback, then said:

"Chen Hai, don't worry about these things. Just do your job at the procuratorate well and report to Chief Prosecutor Zheng more often."

"Yes," Chen Hai said, getting up and leaving.

Xia Qing, on the other hand, prepared for the afternoon's research and tried to finish it as soon as possible.

……

soon.

The time has come for Bai Jingwen to take up his post as the Party Secretary of Guangming District.

As his most trusted confidant, Sha Ruijin personally escorted Bai Jingwen to the Guangming District Committee compound and handed him over to Li Dakang.

"Secretary Dakang, please take care of Secretary Jingwen."

Before leaving, Sha Ruijin didn't forget to give some instructions.

He didn't notice the fleeting glint of malice in Li Dakang's eyes; he only saw Li Dakang's formulaic smile.

Li Dakang nodded and bowed, saying:

"Please rest assured, Sha Ruijin. Now that Secretary Jingwen has come to Jingzhou, he is one of our own. We will not forget Secretary Jingwen no matter what happens."

Sha Ruijin left satisfied.

Li Dakang warmly led Bai Jingwen on a tour of the district committee compound and Bai Jingwen's secretary's office.

District Chief Sun Liancheng followed behind with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.

After inspecting the secretary's office, Bai Jingwen suddenly spoke up:

"Secretary Dakang, this...is this the office Ding Yizhen used?"

Li Dakang was taken aback and quickly said:

"That's true, but don't worry, he threw all his things away, so there's nothing to worry about."

Bai Jingwen glanced at Li Dakang disdainfully and said coldly:

"What's truly distressing isn't the possessions themselves, but the people you can't let go of."

Bai Jingwen's words brought the atmosphere to a freezing point.

Everyone looked at each other.

Li Dakang was even more surprised. Bai Jingwen was usually well-behaved and polite, so why was he acting like a madman, uttering such arrogant and unrestrained words?

However, it's ultimately unnecessary to break ties here.

Li Dakang chuckled and said:

"Haha, Secretary Jingwen is so humorous! Don't worry, Ding Yizhen has become a negative example for the whole district, and I guarantee that nothing like this will happen again! Please make sure Secretary Sha is at ease."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal of giving a warning, Bai Jingwen said no more.

He believed that, given Sha Ruijin's position as secretary, no one in Jingzhou City would dare to do anything to him.

Even though he was two ranks below Li Dakang on the surface.

Bai Jingwen remained confident, believing he represented Sha Ruijin and the Handong Provincial Committee.

This time I'm here, I'm determined to make something of myself.

To prove that he, as a secretary, is capable of being a good local official.

We won't let Secretary Sha down!

Bai Jingwen sat down in the chair, taking in the atmosphere of the office of the top official of Guangming District.

But then he caught a glimpse of the doorway, where District Chief Sun Liancheng seemed to have something to say, yet hesitated to come in.

Bai Jingwen waved his hand:

"District Chief Sun? What's the matter? Come in and speak."

Sun Liancheng, summoned, gritted his teeth and entered. Looking back to see no one at the door, he leaned closer to Bai Jingwen and whispered:

"Secretary Bai, you're in deep trouble!"
