Zhao Dagong responded calmly: "Secretary Sha, I will do my duty and ensure that the discipline work in Handong is carried out strictly and effectively."
Li Dakang stared in disbelief, his mind blank, muttering to himself: I... was demoted three ranks in a row?
Sha Ruijin looked at Li Dakang, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Comrade Dakang, the organization made this decision after much consideration and based on the actual situation. We hope you can take it seriously and continue to shine in your new position."
Li Dakang came to his senses, his face full of bitterness and resentment, but he still suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice, "I will obey the organization's arrangements and will definitely work hard in the Guangming District."
At this moment, the surrounding officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Everyone knew that the officialdom of Handong was about to undergo a significant upheaval.
Zhao Dagong stood to the side, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd as if announcing the coming of a new era of discipline.
Sha Ruijin fell into deep thought. He knew that working with Zhao Dagong in the future would require not only cooperating well with his work, but also completing the tasks assigned to him by the court in this complex situation.
Ugh, this is really tough. I'm even getting gray hair myself.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the provincial party committee building was extremely oppressive, and everyone realized that Handong Province was about to undergo a major transformation.
The Vice Minister of Personnel looked at Li Dakang with a very serious expression: "Comrade Li Dakang, evading and shirking responsibility is not the way to go."
"In 1996, you were the county magistrate. A life was lost because of road construction."
"It was a high-ranking leader who protected you."
"Ding Yizhen is suspected of money laundering and transferring state-owned assets. How can you say you don't know?"
"There's a criminal gang situation at Dafeng Factory in Guangming District. You didn't know that."
"The March 28th bombing seriously injured more than a hundred people. You still don't know?"
"And you were in Lincheng, serving as the Party Secretary. During that time, a large number of investors fled. One of your deputy mayors was also brought down for corruption."
The Vice Minister of Personnel spoke with utmost seriousness, each word a gem: "You, Li Dakang, have condoned your subordinates' corruption for the sake of political achievements."
"An official like you, for the sake of his own political achievements, disregards the law."
"If you know nothing, why are you a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee?" The Vice Minister of Personnel asked sarcastically.
Li Dakang's face darkened, and he began to defend himself: "Comrade Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I admit that I did have oversights in my past work, but I had absolutely no intention of condoning corruption. I will deeply reflect on my actions, accept the organization's investigation, and never repeat this mistake."
The Vice Minister of Personnel snorted coldly, his gaze sharp: "Reflection? Investigation? Anyone can say those things. The key is whether you can truly repent and do something practical for the people of Handong."
Li Dakang lowered his head and remained silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew he had to prove his innocence and determination with concrete actions.
"Comrade Li Dakang, none of us are fools."
"An official like you, who only cares about his own political achievements and disregards the local people, is extremely harmful."
"I hope you can learn from this lesson and properly handle the aftermath of the shantytown collapse."
After saying this, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel turned and left.
Looking at Li Dakang, Gao Yuliang felt extremely desolate, as if he were experiencing a sense of shared sorrow.
Now his top disciple, Qi Tongwei, has been arrested by the National Security Bureau.
Will it be my turn next...?
· ········Requesting 0 flowers ·······
Gao Yuliang couldn't help but shiver. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that in this storm, everyone could be the next target.
What should I do? My path to advancement is completely blocked.
Gao Yuliang pondered to himself, where is the boundary between power and responsibility?
In these turbulent times, he must re-examine his original aspirations.
Otherwise, by next year, he'll definitely be retiring to Zhengxie Village.
. . . . . .
Gao Yuliang recalled the passion he had when he first entered officialdom. At that time, he was determined to seek the well-being of the people and contribute to local development.
Now, gradually losing his way in the vortex of power, watching his colleagues fall from grace one by one, he felt such fear and confusion for the first time.
At this time, Zhao Dagong had already begun his work plan in Handong Province. He convened a meeting of cadres from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and said in a serious tone: "Comrades, the current situation in Handong Province is very serious. We must treat corruption with zero tolerance. Starting today, we will launch a comprehensive disciplinary review of cadres at all levels throughout the province. No matter their rank, if there is any problem, we will investigate it thoroughly."
..... ..... ....
The cadres nodded in agreement, sensing the immense pressure and determination brought by the new Party Secretary. Zhao Dagong continued, "We must establish a comprehensive oversight mechanism to ensure that power operates in the open and that corrupt elements are given absolutely no opportunity to exploit the system."
Meanwhile, Li Dakang arrived at Guangming District to report for duty. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated office environment, he felt a mix of emotions. But he knew that he had no way out and could only start over in this new position.
Li Dakang convened a meeting of cadres in Guangming District and said with a solemn expression, "I have made many mistakes in my work in the past, which have led to serious consequences. From now on, I will work with everyone to work hard for the development of Guangming District and win back the trust we have lost."
The cadres looked at Li Dakang with expressions of doubt, while others hoped that he could bring about real change.
Li Dakang continued, "We must start with the aftermath of the shantytown collapse, earnestly solve the practical problems of the people, and let everyone see our determination and actions."
At the same time, Sha Ruijin was also actively adjusting his work approach, knowing that cooperation with Zhao Dagong was crucial. He proactively approached Zhao Dagong and sincerely said, "Secretary Zhao, we should communicate more in our work and work together for the development of Handong Province. I will fully support your work, and I hope that we can join hands to lead Handong out of its predicament."
Zhao Dagong responded with a smile: "Secretary Sha, thank you for your support. I believe that as long as we work together, Handong Province will surely usher in a new era of development."
In this transformation, everyone in the officialdom of Handong Province faces new challenges and opportunities, while the future remains uncertain.
187. Hou Liangping was filled with jealousy and rage. Why was Lin Yunfei appointed as the vice governor?

This is the advantage of being a civil servant or administrative employee, as long as you don't commit serious crimes like murder, drug use, or arson.
Just like Li Dakang, who condoned his subordinates' corruption and his wife Ouyang Jing's corruption in order to achieve political achievements.
There was even an explosion that killed seven people and seriously injured more than 100.
The final punishment was merely a demotion of three levels.
Lin Yunfei knew perfectly well that the main reason was that Li Dakang's biggest backer, Zhao Lichun, had not yet fallen.
Offensive and defensive types have changed!
Li Dakang, who once held great power as a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, has now been suddenly demoted to the position of the most disliked district head, Guangming District.
This kind of huge sense of loss is something that most people can't bear.
Li Dakang felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. His former glory was gone. When he arrived at Lin Yunfei's office, his eyes revealed a trace of helplessness and resentment.
Lin Yunfei looked at Li Dakang and sighed inwardly, "The game of power is always cruel."
dong dong! !
The knock on the door broke the silence. Li Dakang took a deep breath, trying to hide his inner turmoil.
"Vice Governor Lin, hello. I am... Li Dakang, the head of Guangming District."
Lin Yunfei remained expressionless, staring at Li Dakang from beginning to end without uttering a single word.
The atmosphere in the office became extremely dull.
"Li Dakang, this feeling isn't pleasant, is it?"
"Last year, you were riding high, the powerful Party Secretary of Jingzhou City."
"In less than a year, he was demoted three ranks and reduced to a mere neighborhood head." Lin Yunfei said casually, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
Li Dakang clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he forced himself to remain calm: "Vice Governor Lin, I can accept the ups and downs of life."
Lin Yunfei spoke slowly, his words hitting the nail on the head: "Li Dakang, you still haven't repented. For your own political achievements, you recklessly promoted Ding Yizhen, thus sidelining Sun Liancheng."
"The team you led was like a stopper. More than a dozen bureau-level officials were brought down for corruption."
"You're using me as a scapegoat just to curry favor with Sha Ruijin." Lin Yunfei's face revealed a disdainful smile.
"Do you know that behind power lies responsibility, not the expansion of selfish desires? Now that you have fallen from grace, it is the beginning of reflection and redemption." Lin Yunfei's tone was cold, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing straight into Li Dakang's heart.
Li Dakang was pale and remained silent for a long time before finally lowering his once proud head.
“Vice Governor Lin, I was wrong. I really didn’t examine myself properly.”
Li Dakang's voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying to regain his former authority.
Lin Yunfei nodded slightly, his tone calm, his words sharp as a blade: "District Chief Li, a new position brings a new atmosphere, I hope you can make a difference."
"Don't forget, you gave me a death order when you demolished Dafeng Factory."
"The Guangming District is a complete mess right now."
"Li Dakang, you'd better clean up your own mess."
"Let's see if you can make a comeback and successfully enter the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee?" Lin Yunfei spoke with the sharpest words in a calm tone.
"Yes... thank you for your concern, Vice Governor Lin."
Li Dakang gritted his teeth, his heart filled with mixed feelings, but he could only nod in agreement.
Outside the office, the autumn wind blows, and fallen leaves drift down, as if foreshadowing the changing and unpredictable nature of power.
...
As Lin Yunfei watched Li Dakang's departing figure, he thought to himself that even though Li Dakang was now down on his luck, the connections and influence he had accumulated in the officialdom over the years were still not to be underestimated.
Moreover, although Zhao Lichun has not yet fallen, the situation has quietly changed, and it remains to be seen whether Li Dakang can make a comeback in this complex officialdom.
At this time, Guangming District was plagued by a mountain of problems. After Li Dakang took office, he would inevitably face numerous difficulties and challenges. Many people were watching closely to see what kind of waves his strong style and obsession with political achievements would cause in his new position.
. . . . .
Meanwhile, inside the Handong Provincial Procuratorate.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
Just as the news of Lin Yunfei's rise through the ranks to become the vice governor and concurrently the director of the provincial public security department reached the provincial procuratorate.
Hou Liangping looked incredulous, his right hand clenched into a fist, his nails digging deep into his palm, and he said in a fit of jealous rage, "This is outrageous! This is simply too much!"
"Lin Yunfei lives in a luxury villa and drives luxury cars. His accounts contain hundreds of millions of yuan in cash of unknown origin."
"He actually got promoted and became the vice governor."
Lu Yike sat down in front of him and sighed, "Hou Liangping, calm down. The officialdom is like a game of chess; every move is a gamble."
"This has already happened, and there's no way things can change."
"I don't believe it! I just don't believe it. There's no place to reason with them."
"I'm going to the provincial party committee to see Secretary Sha."
