Chapter 96 Old Master Ni's Instructions
That day, Xia Qing brought a signed document to Sha Ruijin.
Sha Ruijin warmly received Xia Qing and took a look at the signed document.
Xia Qing also provided supplementary explanations from the side.
The first document outlines timely rewards for the three units—auditing, public security, and procuratorial—that cooperated in this special investigation. The plan has been prepared, and Xia Qing, representing the Organization Department, has signed it. He brought it specifically for Sha Ruijin to review.
Sha Ruijin readily agreed, signed the document, and expressed his approval of Xia Qing's work.
Xia Qing accepted the signed document, expressed his gratitude, and then gave a verbal report.
He plans to give some substantial commendation to the leaders of each unit who spearheaded the special project.
Ling Jiang, Director of the Audit Department, is recommended to be recognized as a provincial-level advanced worker.
Chen Hai, a division-level cadre of the procuratorate, is recommended for promotion to deputy director-general level and continued serving as director of the anti-corruption bureau.
Qi Tongwei is recommended for promotion to vice governor, in charge of political and legal affairs.
Sha Ruijin read it in silence.
He knew that Qi Tongwei's matter would be brought up sooner or later.
But things are different now. It's not like when he first arrived in Handong and launched a swift and decisive crackdown on the Han University gang.
Behind Qi Tongwei stood Xia Qing.
With a strong background and outstanding abilities, he has achieved remarkable results in a short period of time since arriving in Handong.
This recent achievement is something Sha Ruijin never dared to dream of.
Although Xia Qing did not join any side, it was obvious to everyone.
Xia Qing was already a unique force in Handong.
Now, Sha Ruijin is not in a position to directly reject Xia Qing's proposal.
Including Qi Tongwei and others, they have indeed made achievements in their recent work.
They dismantled the foreign organization's outpost in Handong, obtained a wealth of intelligence, and identified Du Bozhong as the prime suspect.
These achievements are of extremely high value.
Unable to refuse outright, yet unwilling to let Qi Tongwei become a vice-governor.
Because he understood that no matter how much Qi Tongwei promoted someone, he would either be one of Gao Yuliang's people or one of Xia Qing's people.
The Public Security Bureau doesn't belong to Sha Ruijin at all.
Even if they agree to promote Qi Tongwei to vice-provincial level.
It is also important to ensure that Qi Tongwei will not become an obstacle to eliminating the long-standing problems in Handong.
At the very least, Qi Tongwei cannot be a member of the Zhao family; he can only be Qi Tongwei of Handong.
Thinking of this, Sha Ruijin said to Xia Qing:
"Minister Xia, it's like this, I'm planning to go back to Beijing tomorrow to give a report. When I get back, according to the organization's requirements, we need to hold a democratic life meeting in the fourth quarter."
Xia Qing was taken aback. A democratic life meeting?
Why did Sha Ruijin propose holding a democratic life meeting at this time?
Xia Qing understood very well that a democratic life meeting was supposed to be a meeting where people could criticize and self-criticize each other, speak freely, blush and sweat, and chat over tea.
In reality, democratic life meetings are the most dangerous and the easiest occasions for relationships to break down.
Many things that are not appropriate to say in normal times are said at democratic life meetings.
Direct, frontal attacks are common occurrences.
In the end, it will all be attributed to a positive meaning, and whoever gets angry loses.
Xia Qing now wields considerable influence in Handong.
If it were really going to be a democratic life meeting, he would be completely serious.
Who would dare to cause trouble for themselves at the meeting?
Xia Qing began to look forward to her first democratic life meeting in Handong.
What kind of situation will occur?
Everyone followed the instructions and stopped there.
Or should we tear off the mask of civility and confront each other head-on?
That's really interesting.
Thinking of this, Xia Qing nodded and said:
"Secretary Sha, I agree to hold a democratic life meeting. Is there anything I can do?"
"No need for that. I plan to have Comrade Yuliang and Comrade Dakang speak separately as examples of self-criticism," Sha Ruijin said with a smile.
Xia Qing pondered, "Should I have them make a self-criticism speech?"
Is Sha Ruijin going to take action against them?
interesting.
Regardless of the circumstances, with me present, the situation is definitely under control.
After all, his work had just been submitted to his superiors and had already caused a stir; it was only a matter of time before he received a formal commendation.
With such convincing results in hand, no one would dare to point a gun at them; to do so would be tantamount to openly questioning the decisions of their superiors.
In this way, as long as he speaks, he can calm down any storm.
Then let's do as Sha Ruijin requests.
Thinking of all this, Xia Qing stated:
"Okay, then I will prepare carefully. I haven't been in Handong for long, so if I say something wrong, Secretary Sha, please help me out."
Sha Ruijin said:
"No problem, your grades are outstanding. When you're criticizing others, be sure to hold back a little."
"Alright, I understand what Secretary Sha means. In that case, let's discuss the promotion of these people after the democratic life meeting. What do you think?" Xia Qing stood up and said.
Sha Ruijin expressed satisfaction with Xia Qing's understanding, saying:
"Then let's hold it next Monday."
Leaving the office, Xia Qing realized that this democratic life meeting was probably the biggest showdown of the year.
Many things will be revealed at the democratic life meeting!
……
After seeing Xia Qing off, Sha Ruijin went to the capital the next day to conduct a so-called "reporting on his duties".
Actually, it was to go back to the Ni family home and see Old Master Ni.
This is a routine that Sha Ruijin does every year.
After passing through the secluded courtyard, Sha Ruijin arrived at a quiet little house.
This is a quiet retreat that Mr. Ni particularly likes, because he believes in the principles of health preservation.
Sha Ruijin slowly walked into the house, where he saw a spirited and meticulous old man in the main hall, slowly sketching a landscape painting on rice paper.
It was none other than Grandpa Ni.
"Dad, I'm here."
Sha Ruijin called out cautiously, then walked to Old Master Ni's side and stood respectfully with his head slightly bowed.
"Ruijin, Xia Qing from the Xia family is no ordinary person."
Grandpa Ni didn't look up at Sha Ruijin; he simply continued painting as he spoke:
"Just yesterday, he submitted two items. The first was a report on the investigation of the Three Officials in Handong, the tracking down of foreign forces, and the dismantling of an intermediary organization. Xia Qing also attached a document detailing the experiences and practices of the Handong Three Officials investigation. This work has already provided the Organization Department of the Central Committee with a considerable amount of decision-making basis, and moreover…"
"It's already been reported to Haizi, causing quite a stir. The higher-ups are very satisfied with Xia Qing's work and highly praised his achievements."
Sha Ruijin's body trembled almost imperceptibly.
"The second thing is that Xia Qing also submitted a research report on the utilization of the civil service positions in Handong and proposed that Handong be selected as a new pilot area for the parallel system of job titles and ranks at the beginning of next year. The process is currently underway and it has been basically approved."
After saying this, Old Master Ni glanced at Sha Ruijin and said:
"Both of these matters have drawn Hai Zi's close attention. The Xia family has been quite prosperous these days."
Sha Ruijin could no longer save face and whispered:
"Dad, I feel ashamed. When I get back, I will definitely accelerate the anti-corruption work and try to uproot the clique left behind by Zhao Lichun as soon as possible..."
"Foolish!" Old Master Ni shouted angrily, and Sha Ruijin immediately swallowed his words.
"Did the organization send you to Handong to keep an eye on Zhao Lichun? The millions of people of Handong are in your hands; your job is to maintain stability, boost the economy, and promote development! Anti-corruption is never the first priority for development! If you really wanted to eliminate Zhao Lichun's power, you should have acted swiftly upon arrival, before the local forces could react, to secure victory! But now? You've been in Handong for almost half a year; they've already made preparations. Trying to consolidate your position through anti-corruption is probably futile!"
Old Master Ni was exasperated, and while criticizing him harshly, he also analyzed the situation in Handong for Sha Ruijin:
"In the current situation, we can't rush things; we can only aim for stability! Only when the overall situation is stable and the market is stable can you, as the provincial party secretary, hold your position securely! After everything is stable, you can slowly look for opportunities and take your time, spending three to five years to gradually heal the terminally ill Handong, squeezing out and removing the festering sores. That's what real achievement is! That's what political wisdom is! Do you understand?"
Sha Ruijin nodded repeatedly, but in his heart he was skeptical of what Old Master Ni had said.
His consistent style and approach are characterized by arrogance, ruthless methods, and the use of struggle to exert power and consolidate his position.
Now, Grandpa Ni is telling Sha Ruijin to slow down, but how can he possibly listen?
He was just saying it, and didn't take Old Master Ni's words to heart at all!
In Sha Ruijin's mind, a large-scale anti-corruption campaign was imperative.
Only by doing so can we catch up with the previously lagging progress and uproot the major forces left behind by Zhao Lichun in Handong.
After the major moves are over, another major overhaul will be carried out, and then development will continue to make up for the damage done to Handong.
Only in this way can the task assigned by the organization be considered completed.
This is Sha Ruijin's way of thinking.
"Ruijin, listen carefully. Xia Qing already wields considerable influence in Handong. What you need to do is proactively contact him, work together to achieve mutual success, and ensure the stability of the situation in Handong. All the work you undertake afterward will require Xia Qing's cooperation. That's the first point."
After calming down a bit, Old Master Ni said earnestly:
"Secondly, avoid any major moves in the short term! Let Xia Qing demonstrate his skills; just provide him with support! Also, if the Zhong family makes a move, do not intervene. Let the Zhong family's sword rush to the front—slash, hack, stab—let them do it! Only when someone is holding off the Zhao family should you make your move! Otherwise, if you personally expose yourself to their firepower, you might face certain death!"
Sha Ruijin didn't want to listen anymore.
He felt that Old Master Ni had been stable his whole life and had achieved a status that others could only dream of, but because of this, he was too conservative in many things.
When it's time to fight, we must fight; when it's time to take action, we must take action.
Always seeking stability and always staying behind the scenes will only lead to a slow death!
Given the current situation, Sha Ruijin must produce results as soon as possible; there is no room for complacency!
At the same time, Sha Ruijin was also thinking about the eco-resort project.
He is confident that once this project is implemented, Sha Ruijin will not be stigmatized for economic issues and will be completely cleared of the stigma!
