Chapter 287 Pleasant Goat is suitable for roasting a whole lamb.

Sha Ruijin's solution was quite good. To put it bluntly, it was about not being too harsh. Sometimes businessmen don't want to bribe officials. Who wants to give away their hard-earned money to someone else?

There is no other way. If market competition were fair and just, and if there were a place to speak out when people are being extorted or blackmailed by officials, who would want to be in that situation?

"Well, that's the general idea of ​​the solution. The main difficulty is implementation! A while ago, I went to the procuratorate to inspect their work and listened to Comrade Changming's report. He gave me an example: a clerk in the provincial housing and construction department managed to collect over ten million yuan in just a few years. Why? Because he would obstruct every procedure, and each obstruction cost him a sum of money. Simplifying procedures and optimizing government services are things that Handong needs to work hard on!"

Sha Ruijin fell silent after hearing this. It sounded simple, but optimizing government affairs and simplifying procedures meant taking some power away from the lower levels. There would definitely be resistance, and it would take courage to do it.

"In that case, I, as the provincial party secretary, will definitely oversee and improve the institutional aspects. I will have the comrades in the general office formulate a plan. When the time comes, Comrade Chen Luo, you must give your support at the Standing Committee meeting."

Chen Luo would have supported this even without Sha Ruijin saying it.

"Secretary Sha, I support any proposal that benefits the tens of millions of people in Handong!"

Rolling his eyes, Sha Ruijin didn't dwell on it.

"Alright, Comrade Chen Luo, thank you for sharing your experience. You've just returned, and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission probably has work to do, so I won't take up any more of your time."

After the conversation, Chen Luo returned to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to handle his work. There was no Standing Committee meeting this Friday, and Chen Luo went straight home after finishing his work at the Political and Legal Affairs Commission around 4 p.m.

As soon as Chen Luo entered the house, he was entangled by the two little ones.

"Dad! You haven't spent any time with us lately, do you not love us anymore... Waaah, before Dad would hold me in his arms all the time, but now you avoid people even when they pull on your clothes."

sad!"

Chen Zhengxi covered his face and sighed softly. Then, perhaps because the floor was too cold, he went up to the sofa, hugged his legs, buried his head in his thighs, and started to moan.

Chen Luo was somewhat helpless. When he first came in, the little girl wanted a hug. After all, the child was getting older, and Chen Luo, as her father, couldn't be without boundaries, so he didn't agree.

He only patted Chen Zhengxi on the back symbolically, but the little girl was unhappy. However, according to Chen Luo's guess, it was probably just a fake emo.

Sure enough, only two minutes later, perhaps Chen Zhengxi's repeated sighs disturbed Chen Zhengshu, who was reading a book. After putting the book down, Chen Zhengshu revealed the truth.

"Little sister, stop pretending. If you want Dad to take us out to eat, go shopping, and have fun, just say so."

Hasn't Dad never refused either?

You even resorted to a self-inflicted injury ruse…

Chen Zhengxi wasn't embarrassed when he was exposed. He raised his head and glared at Chen Zhengshu, then wriggled over to Chen Luo's side and rested his head on Chen Luo's arm.

"Dad, Mom's away for the next couple of days. She has to go to Grandma's to take care of some things. How about we go out for roast whole lamb? I've been watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf lately, and everyone says Pretty Goat's roast lamb is the most delicious. I want to try it and see what it tastes like..."

Chen Luo was speechless. This girl's thought process was quite outrageous, but the suggestion of going out to eat was good.

Zhang Nian won't be home this weekend, and it's too much trouble for him to cook for himself, so eating out is a good option.

"Okay, but restaurants that serve whole roasted lamb may not have Pleasant Goat."

"It's okay, Dad. Pleasant Goat is fine too. I'm not picky."

Is this a matter of being picky or not?

Speechless, Chen Luo still drove out with the two little girls at 6:30 pm.

On the bus, Chen Zhengxi still didn't let Chen Zhengshu off the hook.

"Hmph! Brother, you're pretty smart. I'm only just realizing that you were the one who told me on TV that Pretty Sheep is good for barbecue and Slow Sheep is good for soup, but when I asked Dad to take us out to eat, you didn't say anything."

In the end, they even exposed me...

You got all the benefits!

Chen Zhengshu smiled bitterly. His plan was indeed quite clever, but he knew very well that the only uncertainty in doing so was that the target of his plan was his own sister.

Look! His waist has already been pinched several times.

"Cough cough, calm down. I learned it all from Dad. Dad said that the highest virtue is like water, which means that you should not ask for what you need yourself, but let others ask for it and fight for it for you. That is the best way. Little sister, didn't I teach you that?"

"Learn my ass! You're just a sly, mischievous devil!"

Chen Luo listened to the two little ones arguing in the back row without interrupting. Smart parents don't disturb their children's debates; the more they debate, the clearer things become, and the smarter they become!

The car arrived at a Little Sheep BBQ restaurant in Jingzhou with great local reviews. This time, we didn't run into anyone; after all, it's normal for no one to recognize you.

The roasted whole lamb smelled delicious, but Chen Luo and the two little ones couldn't eat much, so they just sampled a little of each part.

The most important thing is the satisfaction of being able to eat whatever I want, which makes me feel happy. We finished eating around 7:30 pm.

He then took the two little ones to the supermarket to buy some snacks and such. Chen Luo didn't really care about these things; it was only the children's mother who was stricter. It was a mix of leniency and relaxation.

However, as he was browsing, Chen Luo spotted a familiar figure. He wasn't quite sure at first, but when the figure bent down to pick up some goods, Chen Luo recognized the person immediately by their receding hairline.

Chen Zhengxi found it strange that his father kept staring at the bald man who was bending over to pick something up.

"Dad, what are you looking at? Do you know that person up ahead?"

Chen Luo was about to say he didn't know him, but Li Shangli, who was picking up the goods, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and subconsciously turned around to look at Chen Luo.

For a moment, Li Shangli frowned, then felt dazed and uncertain. He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked around again, but still couldn't see clearly. Only then did he take out his glasses from his pocket and put them on, finally confirming who he had met.

Standing up, pulling in his stomach, and somewhat embarrassedly touching his bald head, Li Shangli smiled as he approached Chen Luo.

"Secretary Chen, I never expected to meet you here!"

Li Shangli was also surprised. Although the organization had provided him with a house and other accommodations when he came to Handong, he still needed to prepare some daily necessities himself.

Then I ran into Chen Luo.

"Comrade Shangli, you've been in Handong for a few days now, haven't you?"

"Yes, Secretary Chen, it's been two or three days!"

"Your appointment and removal procedures will be streamlined and expedited. You will take office as the Party Secretary of Guangming District next Monday. Working in Guangming District is not an easy task, Comrade Shang Li. Although I do not entirely agree with some of your styles and experiences, I still hope that you can manage Guangming District well and bring benefits to the people of Guangming District!"

He casually mentioned it to Chen Luo when he met him, but whether Chen Luo listened or not was up to Li Shangli; he was speaking on behalf of the people of Guangming District.
