The provincial discipline inspection officials stared intently into Li Dakang's eyes, as if trying to catch every subtle change in his emotions: "District Chief Li, as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee at the time, your responsibility for supervising your subordinates is inescapable."

"Ding Yizhen embezzled and laundered such a huge amount of money, didn't you really notice anything unusual?"

Li Dakang swallowed hard, trying to make his voice sound more steady: "I admit that I may have been negligent in my work. But Ding Yizhen is usually very good at pretending. On the surface, he is proactive in his work and his performance is good. I really didn't expect him to do such a thing."

The disciplinary official sneered: "Pretend? District Chief Li, do you think that explanation holds water?"

"As a leading cadre and the top official of Jingzhou City, you should not only focus on work performance, but also be constantly vigilant against the corruption risks of your subordinates. Do you really bear no responsibility whatsoever for Ding Yizhen's case?"

Li Dakang's forehead was covered in even more sweat. He wiped it away, his voice trembling slightly, "I...I do bear responsibility. I will seriously reflect on my work and will definitely strengthen the supervision of my subordinates in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

The discipline inspection official nodded, his tone softening slightly: "District Chief Li, it's good that you recognize your own problems. But currently, it seems there might be some connection between the Ding Yizhen case and the March 28th bombing. We need you to continue providing clues to assist us in our in-depth investigation."

Li Dakang nodded hurriedly: "Definitely, definitely. I will do my best to provide all the information I know to help you find out the truth."

The discipline inspection official stood up, indicating that Li Dakang could leave: "Okay, that's all for today. District Chief Li, we hope you will continue to cooperate with our work. If there are any new developments, we will contact you immediately."

Requesting flowers...

Li Dakang stood up with a sigh of relief, bowed slightly to the discipline inspection officials, and slowly walked out of the provincial discipline inspection commission office. On his way home, Li Dakang's heart remained heavy.

He knew this investigation was just the beginning, and he would face even more challenges and pressures in the future. But he also secretly resolved to protect his political life no matter what.

The sense of loss that Li Dakang felt was truly overwhelming.

Ring ring! Ring ring!

Suddenly, Li Dakang's phone rang.

Li Dakang stopped and looked at the caller ID on his phone, only to find that it was Sha Ruijin.

"Hello, Secretary Sha. This is Li Dakang."

A steady and powerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dakang, I heard that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection contacted you to inquire about the March 28 bombing case and the Ding Yizhen case?" Li Dakang quickly replied: "Yes, Secretary Sha, I just came from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Sha Ruijin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Dakang, these two things have a huge impact. You must fully cooperate with the investigation and tell us everything you know."

Li Dakang quickly replied, "Secretary Sha, rest assured, I will cooperate without reservation."

Sha Ruijin continued, "The situation is complex now. You need to adjust your mindset and stick to your principles no matter what difficulties you encounter. At the same time, you should also learn from these experiences and be more meticulous and rigorous in your future work."

Li Dakang nodded emphatically: "Secretary Sha, I've got it. I promise this kind of problem won't happen again." Sha Ruijin gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

Holding his phone, Li Dakang gazed into the distance, silently pondering why Sha Ruijin had called him.

Could it be because Tian Guofu was sentenced?

Wu Chunlin's downfall has left Sha Ruijin without anyone to rely on.

Thinking of this, Li Dakang's eyes lit up.

Perhaps it was precisely because Sha Ruijin recognized his composure and loyalty at this crucial moment that he specifically called to remind and encourage him.

Li Dakang took a deep breath, secretly relieved that he had still gained Sha Ruijin's trust during this turmoil.

...

The following day, at the Provincial Party Committee of Handong, in the office of the Provincial Party Secretary.

Sha Ruijin issued a promotion document.

[Li Dakang has been promoted to Vice Mayor of Jingzhou City, Handong Province, and Secretary of the Guangming District Committee. The公示 period is seven days.]

It's fair to say that Sha Ruijin really has no one available right now.

· ········Requesting 0 flowers ·······

Left with no other choice, they had to promote Li Dakang.

In any case, I can't advance any further now. While I still have some power, I should promote more people I trust to consolidate my power base.

This is the power of the provincial party secretary—the power to appoint personnel.

The promotion of a deputy director-level cadre does not require any meeting or discussion by the provincial party committee standing committee.

...

The head of the Organization Department of Jingzhou City was shocked to receive the order from the Provincial Party Committee.

He personally went to the Guangming District Committee, found Li Dakang, and read the promotion document to him.

"Li Dakang has been promoted to serve as the Vice Mayor of Jingzhou City, Handong Province, and the Secretary of the Guangming District Committee."

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang was filled with turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface and solemnly accepted the document.

He knew that this was both an opportunity and a challenge, and that he had to hold himself to higher standards.

Li Dakang bowed deeply: "Thank you for the trust placed in me by the organization. I will live up to your expectations and do my utmost to contribute to the development of Jingzhou City and Guangming District."

..... .... ...

The Minister of the Organization Department of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee nodded and smiled, his gaze intriguing: "Vice Mayor Li, congratulations. It hasn't been long, less than two months, and you've already been reinstated."

Li Dakang gave a fake smile: "You're too kind. It's all thanks to Secretary Sha's help."

The Minister of the Organization Department of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee patted Li Dakang on the shoulder meaningfully: "Secretary Sha has always valued cadres who are capable and responsible. You must make good use of this opportunity."

"However, the situation in Jingzhou is complex now, and the newly appointed official is also under considerable pressure."

Li Dakang nodded quickly, his face showing sincerity: "I understand. Jingzhou has been going through a lot of turmoil. I will definitely familiarize myself with my new position as soon as possible, clarify my work ideas, and lead Guangming District and even Jingzhou out of the predicament."

The Minister of the Organization Department put away his smile and said seriously, "Comrade Dakang, the organization has high hopes for you. Jingzhou is now at a critical stage of development."

"With various problems intertwined, you must always stay clear-headed, both advancing the work and preventing risks, especially in terms of integrity, you must not make any more mistakes."

Li Dakang's expression hardened, and he solemnly assured, "Minister, rest assured, I will strictly demand of myself and lead by example, while strengthening the management and supervision of my subordinates to create a clean and upright working environment."

The head of the organization department nodded in satisfaction: "Good, I'm relieved to hear that. The public notice period is seven days. During this time, you need to be careful about your words and actions, and report any issues to the organization promptly."

Li Dakang bowed deeply again: "Thank you for the reminder, Minister. I will definitely be careful with my words and actions and live up to the organization's expectations."

After the Organization Department Minister left, Li Dakang sat in his office, staring at the promotion document in his hand, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew he was about to embark on a new and challenging journey.

217. Zhao Lan gave birth to a son, and Lin Yunfei became the father.

217. Zhao Lan gave birth to a son, and Lin Yunfei became the father.

Sun Liancheng knew that Li Dakang had actually been promoted by the provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin, and had been reinstated as the vice mayor of Jingzhou City and concurrently the party secretary of Guangming District.

He was taken aback.

Sun Liancheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep. After much thought, he finally made a phone call to report to Lin Yunfei.

"Governor Lin, this is Sun Liancheng. Something has happened."

Lin Yunfei was somewhat surprised and pressed for an answer: "What happened, Lian Cheng?"

"Sha Ruijin, promote Li Dakang again..."

Sun Liancheng's voice was tinged with anxiety and unease, his brows furrowed.

"What exactly is Secretary Sha thinking? Li Dakang was demoted three ranks because he promoted Ding Yizhen and condoned corruption."

"How come he was suddenly promoted again? This might change the political climate in Jingzhou."

Lin Yunfei was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before slowly saying, "Lian Cheng, don't be anxious. Secretary Sha Ruijin always has his reasons for doing things. Li Dakang's re-promotion might be... there's more to it than meets the eye."

"Tell me the specifics first. What aspects of work is Li Dakang responsible for this time, and are there any new developments?"

Sun Liancheng hurriedly replied: "As far as I know, Li Dakang has been promoted to vice mayor of Jingzhou City and concurrently serves as secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee. He will definitely carry out sweeping reforms in Guangming District."

“He was very capable when he was the Party Secretary of the city. Now that he’s back as the Vice Mayor at the ministerial level, I’m afraid many projects and policies will change. Governor Lin, shouldn’t we make some preparations in advance?” Sun Liancheng said slowly, his expression extremely serious.

Lin Yunfei pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm, you're right. You should secretly observe Li Dakang's movements, especially the policies and projects he's implementing in Guangming District. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

"In addition, you should also be careful in your work at the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, so as not to give anyone any leverage against you."

Sun Liancheng quickly replied, "Yes, Governor Lin, I understand. I will keep a close eye on Li Dakang's every move and report to you immediately if anything happens."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Liancheng lay on the bed, still deep in thought. He knew that the officialdom in Jingzhou was about to be stirred up by a new wave of turmoil.

However, this time Sun Liancheng will not be afraid.

Because he had political resources and a powerful backer, namely Lin Yunfei.

In officialdom, as long as you have powerful connections, you don't need to worry about being bullied by others.

Sun Liancheng sneered: "Li Dakang, it's time to settle our old scores."

. . . . .

Two days later, in Beijing, at the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, in the obstetrics and gynecology ward.

My wife, Zhao Lan, is having her final prenatal checkup.

Lin Yunfei personally accompanied her, even wearing an executive jacket: "Doctor, thank you for your hard work. My wife's due date is approaching."

The doctor smiled and nodded, then carefully reviewed the examination report and said, "All indicators are normal, the fetus is developing very well, the due date is in the next two days, and labor could start at any time. The family should be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfei smiled gently and took Zhao Lan's hand lightly, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Lanlan."

Zhao Lan leaned gently on his shoulder and whispered, "It's not hard work. I'm so happy to have given birth to your child."

Just then, Lin Yunfei's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID; it was his secretary, Liu Can, calling. Lin Yunfei frowned slightly, walked aside, and answered the phone: "What is it, Liu Can?"

Secretary Liu Can said urgently on the other end of the phone: "Governor Lin, there is new information from Jingzhou. Sun Liancheng just sent a message that Li Dakang has begun to implement new reform policies in Guangming District. The actions are quite significant, and it seems that he intends to conduct a comprehensive overhaul of some old projects."

Lin Yunfei's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Understood. Keep a close eye on his movements and report to me immediately if there is any new information."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei returned to Zhao Lan's side, but began to ponder the intentions behind Li Dakang's actions.

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Zhao Lan asked softly, "What's wrong? Yunfei, is something wrong at work?"

Lin Yunfei snapped out of his reverie and smiled gently: "It's nothing, just some small work-related matters. You should rest well and not think too much about it."

Just then, Zhao Lan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She frowned and clutched her stomach, saying, "Yunfei, I think... I'm going into labor."

Lin Yunfei's expression changed, and he immediately became nervous, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor!"

Doctors and nurses rushed over and wheeled Zhao Lan into the delivery room.

Lin Yunfei stood outside the delivery room, waiting anxiously. He hurriedly took out his phone and dialed his father, Lin Hu.

"Dad, Lanlan's water broke. We're at the PLA General Hospital now."

Lin Hu's voice was calm on the other end of the phone: "Yunfei, don't panic. The General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army has good facilities and professional doctors. Everything will be fine. Just wait outside the delivery room and let me know if anything happens."
