Chapter 290 Anyone can use someone else to do their dirty work.

Upon hearing this, Li Shangli felt somewhat uneasy; the unknown is what worries people the most.

"Comrade Shangli, we both have the surname Li, so we should be considered as one family five hundred years ago. However, I have heard that Comrade Shangli is determined to carry out the provincial governor's orders for building an army!"

Comrade Shang Li, is this situation true?

Li Dakang still smiled with his eyes narrowed, but Li Shangli's heart was pounding wildly.

The meaning of this is very simple: whether Li Shangli listens to the municipal party committee or the provincial government makes a big difference. After all, procedurally, Li Shangli is under the jurisdiction of the provincial party committee and the command of the Jingzhou municipal party committee. Now he is openly urinating with Governor Jianjun. If it were any other municipal party secretary, they would definitely have objections!

Li Shangli understood this principle perfectly.

"Secretary Dakang, as you know, when I worked in Suzhou, my direct superior was Governor Jianjun. Perhaps I've gotten used to it over the years, and I haven't been able to change it immediately after coming to Handong. Don't worry, I, Li Shangli, will definitely follow the instructions of the Municipal Party Committee!"

This was not what Li Dakang wanted to hear. He shook his head slightly and then revealed the hidden meaning.

"Comrade Shangli, there's no need to be so cautious. Governor Jianjun is also the deputy secretary of our Handong District Committee. In theory, it's no problem for him to give you instructions. However, I heard that you mentioned Secretary Chen at yesterday's district committee meeting."

Secretary Chen is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee, so his connection with Guangming District is not very strong.

Comrade Shang Li, please try not to mention this again!

The comrades below had a lot of complaints, saying, "What? Li Shangli, you have Governor Jianjun and Secretary Chen standing behind you?"

We cadres should always strive to be realistic and pragmatic!

Upon hearing this, Li Shangli breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it wasn't aimed at him as a person connected to the provincial governor, but rather at him not to flaunt his influence so casually in the future. It was a mild and innocuous statement that Li Shangli could accept.

"Secretary Dakang, your words are profound!"

Indeed, my statement about Secretary Chen was clearly inaccurate. I will definitely pay attention in the future and will not make the same mistake again!

"That's right, Comrade Shangli has a very high level of awareness. No wonder he was willing to go against the majority opinion and issue a military order to transfer you to Handong at the provincial governor's meeting on the establishment of the army."

"What were you trying to say just now? Comrade Shang Li, you can say it now."

Li Shangli nodded obediently, then stated the purpose of his visit to the municipal party committee: "Secretary Dakang, it's like this, the former secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee, Yi Xuexi, was taken away for investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for corruption, and the current old residential area renovation project has also been investigated and suspended. Secretary Dakang, you know how important this project is to Guangming District. Could you please communicate with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to allow this project in Guangming District to resume construction?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Dakang nodded.

"No problem, I'll call Secretary Guo Fu of the Discipline Inspection Commission later. But the process might be a bit slow, since Secretary Guo Fu might not be willing to cooperate."

"Why don't you call Governor Jianjun, Comrade Shangli? Having Governor Jianjun contact Secretary Guofu would definitely be more efficient!"

"ah?!"

Li Shangli was completely dumbfounded. He was being asked to report to someone above his level?

His purpose in coming to the municipal party committee was that he did not want to bypass Li Dakang and go directly to Governor Jianjun. After all, doing so would be disrespectful to Li Dakang, a member of the provincial party committee standing committee. If a member of the provincial party committee standing committee wanted to target him, especially if he was from a higher-level department in charge of Guangming District, Li Shangli would definitely suffer the consequences!

But now... Li Shangli was confused. Handong was shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible for him to see clearly.

Seeing Li Shangli hesitate, Li Dakang even wondered if he had spoken too harshly when he first warned him.

But he didn't say anything harsh.

"Ahem, Comrade Shangli, is there a problem?"

Li Dakang tried to keep his tone gentle when asking the question, and Li Shangli shook his head after regaining his senses.

"Secretary Dakang, I feel it's not appropriate to report to a higher level without proper authorization. What do you think...?"

"Oh, it's alright, I know about it! Comrade Shangli, be bolder, you can report everything about Guangming District to Governor Jianjun!"

I will absolutely not interfere. Of course, I'm also very busy with other work in the city, and I don't have time to inquire about the progress of work in Guangming District. Comrade Shang Li, do you understand what I mean?

"I understand, I understand!"

If Li Shangli still doesn't understand, then he's lived in vain. It's obvious that Li Dakang doesn't want to get involved with Guangming District, so what's there to say?

"Okay, I understand. Comrade Shangli, it's getting late. You should go back to Guangming District and continue your work. I also have some work to take care of."

Upon hearing this, Li Shangli stood up, thanked him, and then left.

After Li Shangli left, Li Dakang lay back in his chair, legs crossed, a smile on his lips, and muttered to himself, "How interesting. This Li Shangli isn't stupid, but he's not exactly smart either. Let them fight it out. As long as it doesn't involve me, Li Dakang, you can do whatever you want!"

After leaving the municipal party committee, Li Shangli felt increasingly uneasy, but he just couldn't figure it out. However, he had to continue working. Since Li Dakang had no objections, it was perfectly legitimate for Li Shangli to call Zhou Jianjun!

Once the call connected, Li Shangli recounted his meeting with Li Dakang and the current predicament of Guangming District. Zhou Jianjun, knowing that Li Dakang wanted to stay out of it, didn't delve into the matter and readily agreed.

It must be said that the governor intervened quickly. That same afternoon, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection concluded its investigation into the renovation project of the old residential area in Guangming District, and the resumption of construction was a foregone conclusion.

Chen Luo, far away in Lüzhou, was not concerned about the changes in Jingzhou. These days, Lüzhou was preparing for a national product expo, the purpose of which was naturally to showcase the achievements of the Lüzhou Industrial Park and garner orders from all over the country and even the world.

In addition to this matter, the joint investigation team has been established and stationed in the discipline inspection commissions at all levels.

Coincidentally, the investigation team sent to Luzhou was led by Hou Liangping. There's a saying that goes, "to kill with a borrowed knife," and Chen Luo didn't really delve into some of the problems in Luzhou.

He only wanted his subordinates to behave themselves in the general direction, but with the rapid development of Luzhou, some people couldn't hold back any longer. They wanted to reach out but were afraid of Chen Luo, so they secretly assumed that Chen Luo was unaware.

This involved the tacit approval, or rather, the turning a blind eye, of the Standing Committee of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

After all, before Chen Luo came to Luzhou, Luzhou was a united front, and everyone knew each other. They were all very adept at understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

There were no mistakes in the key tasks. Would it be okay for Chen Luo to just remove the other party? It would definitely be fine, but it would cause panic and make others think that Chen Luo is too ruthless and cold-blooded.

Therefore, using someone else to do the dirty work is the best option.

On Wednesday, the investigation team arrived in Luzhou. Hou Liangping was still shocked to see Luzhou change so drastically in just one year.

Those old urban areas are gone, replaced by clean and tidy modern residential communities.

With the widening of roads and the extension of subway lines, it can be said that Luzhou's development is making great strides forward!
