"In accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee, the power transition in Handong was successfully completed."
Gao Yuliang solemnly assured him.
opposite.
Mu Chen nodded.
He solemnly said, "Secretary Yuliang, remember, don't let the organization down!"
After finishing speaking.
Mu Chen then got up and left the No. 003 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.
After Mu Chen left.
Gao Yuliang sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and lowered his head in thought.
The living room became filled with smoke.
At this moment, Ms. Wu, Gao Yuliang's nominal wife, came over and sat down next to him.
He said, "Yuliang, do you regret it now?"
She also overheard Mu Chen and Gao Yuliang's conversation.
If Gao Yuliang hadn't divorced her, Sha Ruijin's current position would most likely belong to Gao Yuliang!
There might be a chance for it to move up even further.
"Do you regret it?" Gao Yuliang took a drag of his cigarette and sighed, "Teacher Wu, I think you may have many misunderstandings about me, Gao Yuliang."
"I, Gao Yuliang, really want to sit in the position of provincial party secretary."
"But sometimes I think about it."
"How high a rank is considered 'great'?"
"In life, one doesn't necessarily have to become a high-ranking official."
"The relationship between Gao Xiaofeng and me is true love, and this kind of love is perhaps more fascinating to me than the position of provincial party secretary."
"Teacher Wu, there are no 'what ifs' for many things."
"There's no point in regretting it."
Does Gao Yuliang regret it?
He definitely regrets it. There may be real love between him and Gao Xiaofeng, but like Gao Xiaoqin, Gao Xiaofeng is likely Gao Yuliang's pledge of allegiance to Zhao Lichun.
Only when Zhao Lichun has a handle on him.
Only then could Zhao Lichun trust him to use his talents, and only then could Gao Yuliang be promoted to the position of the third-highest-ranking official in the provincial party committee.
And it was only after he pledged his loyalty that Gao Yuliang was able to refuse many things.
Otherwise, Zhao Lichun would keep pressuring him.
Without Gao Xiaofeng's pledge of loyalty, he would likely never have reached his current position in Handong, let alone been noticed by the central government.
All of this was destined; there's no going back.
And on the opposite side.
Ms. Wu fell silent. Her feelings for Gao Yuliang were complicated. On the one hand, she needed Gao Yuliang's power to enhance her own image.
She had to maintain her dignity as the wife of a high-ranking official.
On the other hand, Ms. Wu was furious that Gao Yuliang had fallen for another woman and divorced her.
"So what do you plan to do after you retire?"
Teacher Wu suddenly asked.
Gao Yuliang thought for a moment, a relaxed expression on his face, and said with a smile, "I'll probably go to Hong Kong to grow flowers and plants."
But then Teacher Wu asked:
"Do you really think Gao Xiaofeng will still want to be with you after you retire?"
"You are now the third-highest-ranking official in the provincial party committee."
“But what will you do after you retire? You’ll be a decrepit old man, while Gao Xiaofeng is still young.”
Gao Yuliang's relaxed expression froze instantly.
My hand trembled slightly involuntarily.
They fell into complete silence.
Chapter 103 The Changes in Sha Ruijin
At this moment, even Gao Yuliang himself hesitated.
Will everything go as he expects?
Gao Yuliang did not answer or speak; he simply sat on the sofa and silently smoked all night.
The next day.
Office of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin.
An uninvited guest suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
Sha Ruijin looked up.
They discovered that the person who came was none other than Chen Yanshi!
Sha Ruijin immediately stood up, hurried over, and helped Chen Yanshi up, saying, "Old Chen, what brings you here today?"
He truly hadn't expected Chen Yanshi to come.
But on the other side.
Chen Yanshi angrily shook off Sha Ruijin's hand.
Then he waved outside.
He said, "Zheng Xipo, come in."
Outside.
A dusty-looking, somewhat unassuming Zheng Xipo walked in, a sheepish smile on his face.
After seeing Sha Ruijin.
He said, "Secretary Sha, I'm sorry to bother you."
But he wasn't finished yet.
Chen Yanshi interrupted, "What interruption? What interruption?"
I think it's best not to disturb you.
"Little Jin, I'm asking you, what exactly is your attitude now? Why is the matter of the New Dafeng Factory just being shelved like this?"
“We went back and waited for so long.”
"You didn't give us a single piece of information. Do you even care about the people?"
Sha Ruijin's expression immediately turned ugly.
It is true that he was raised by revolutionary veterans like Chen Yanshi.
But here's the thing.
Sha Ruijin is now the provincial party secretary! As for Chen Yanshi, he says he respects some revolutionary veterans, but to put it bluntly, he's just a retired old man!
How could a retired old man be in charge of the provincial party secretary?
But Sha Ruijin ultimately hesitated because of personal feelings.
Nothing more was said.
Instead, he looked at Zheng Xipo and asked, "What other problems does your new Dafeng Factory have?"
"The government has already given you very generous treatment!"
"Land in Guangming District is scarce, and it is the core area of Jingzhou City, where every inch of land is extremely valuable."
"The government will never approve land for you in Guangming District!"
"What can you do with just a few million? Even if you add the resettlement funds that Jingzhou City gave you before, it's still far from enough!"
Seeing that Sha Ruijin's expression was unfriendly.
Zheng Xipo gave an awkward smile.
But he still forced himself to say, "Secretary Sha, we know about these things too."
"But our new Dafeng factory is facing some difficulties."
"If we encounter difficulties, we should definitely seek help from the government. Besides, our Xindafeng Factory has worker shares! This is a factory truly owned by the workers!"
"If our government doesn't support this..."
"There's no one else to support me."
