Governor Liu had already decided to retire, and by the time Mu Chen arrived in Handong, Governor Liu had actually reached the point of retirement.

But Mu Chen obtained Governor Liu's consent.

And after communicating with the higher-ups.

The Organization Department extended Governor Liu's retirement date, since Handong still needed Governor Liu's efforts.

As the second-in-command of Handong, if he had stepped down under those circumstances...

Then bring in a new provincial governor.

Whether it's being parachuted in or promoted from below, it's not good news for Handong!

If this provincial governor could just settle things down...

So Sha Ruijin might still tolerate the other party.

Handong can still maintain a semblance of stability.

But what if this provincial governor is like Li Dakang and Sha Ruijin, too domineering?

Then... who knows how much trouble is going to happen in Handong!

And on the opposite side.

Governor Liu smiled easily.

He said, "Comrade Special Envoy, although I am old, my heart is still young."

"It can contribute to the stability of Handong."

"It's worth it to contribute to the people of Handong, even if it means retiring a little later."

"Don't even mention a few months, even a year or two, it's nothing."

"At worst, I can just stay in the hospital bed the rest of the time."

"but……"

Governor Liu suddenly changed the subject and said, "Now that the retirement decision has been officially made, a huge weight has finally been lifted off my shoulders."

"My health is getting worse and worse."

"I feel increasingly powerless at work, and I'm afraid that I might make a mistake and cause a huge harm to the people of Handong!"

Regarding Governor Liu's concerns.

Mu Chen also expressed his understanding, after all, Governor Liu was already quite old, and it would be bad if he made a mistake when he was about to retire.

Governor Liu certainly couldn't accept that.

This is why Governor Liu didn't want to get particularly involved in the situation in Handong before.

Sha Ruijin is in his prime and full of energy.

Even if the two had the strength to confront each other head-on, Governor Liu would absolutely not be able to outlast Sha Ruijin.

It's best to protect yourself.

"Governor Liu, you can rest assured about this. As the saying goes, merits are merits and demerits are demerits. Even if some problems arise later, the higher-ups will not hold it against you for a momentary mistake."

"And to completely deny Governor Liu's contributions to Handong Province!"

And after saying that.

Mu Chen suddenly spoke up:

"Governor Liu, I'm here today mainly because I have something I'd like to ask you about."

Upon hearing Mu Chen's words...

Governor Liu, sitting opposite him, immediately became serious.

He said, "Comrade Special Envoy, please speak."

"If I know something, I will tell you everything I know."

opposite.

Mu Chen nodded.

He began by saying, "The position of provincial governor is now vacant."

"Governor Liu, do you think there is a cadre who is most suitable to succeed you as governor?"

"Or rather."

"Are there any cadres in Handong that Governor Liu thinks are worth cultivating?"

Upon hearing Mu Chen's words...

Governor Liu's expression became even more serious, and his eyes gradually grew solemn, because he knew that Mu Chen was definitely not representing himself alone at this moment.

It represents the top!

He was asked about Governor Liu's opinion on the next governor of Handong Province.

This made Governor Liu sigh.

The support from above for Mu Chen was truly unwavering, just like when he retired; Mu Chen only needed to say a word.

They said they'd delay it, and they did! Without any hesitation whatsoever!

This shows the trust the higher-ups have in Mu Chen!

When asked about Mu Chen's question, Governor Liu carefully considered his words for a while before speaking, "Actually, I know that there have been rumors about the 'Sha-Li pairing' in Handong for the past few months."

"But as a member of the organization, I have to tell the truth."

"I believe Li Dakang is not suitable for the position of governor of Handong Province. In fact, there is no cadre in the entire Handong province who is capable of serving as governor!"

“I came from the Zhao Lichun era.”

“I know clearly how much impact and damage Zhao Lichun has brought to Handong.”

"Regarding the next governor."

"My opinion is... it would be best to select some capable and young cadres from other provinces or from higher levels and parachute them into Handong."

"Under your guidance, Special Envoy."

"Continue the work in Handong!"

Chapter 230 The New Provincial Governor! Zhao Lichun's Eldest Son-in-Law!

!

Governor Liu's words were entirely selfless.

After all, if Governor Liu really had ulterior motives, he would definitely try to promote his trusted confidant in Handong to a higher position.

By the time.

If one of Governor Liu's former protégés or associates were to take up the governor's position.

He would naturally be very grateful to his former boss.

But Governor Liu did not do that, and did not mention anyone except Li Dakang.

This is proof enough.

Governor Liu's words were not motivated by any personal motive.

However, this does not mean that Governor Liu is completely selfless. In fact, Governor Liu is well aware of one fact: the position of governor cannot be promoted from Handong!

Instead, they must be airdropped!

For Handong, promoting any local official now carries a great risk.

The above is something I would absolutely never consider.

Mu Chen asked these questions as a test, to see if Governor Liu really wanted to retire and whether his mind was still on Handong!

Instead of acting like Liang Qunfeng, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

Although he has retired, his influence continues to affect Handong.

This is not a good thing for Handong. After the cadres retire, they should just enjoy their retirement life.

Getting too involved is not a good thing.

Especially retired cadres like Chen Yanshi, who like to cause trouble for the municipal party committee and even the provincial party committee.

That would be even more troublesome.

Governor Liu had long anticipated the special envoy's intentions, so of course he wouldn't be that foolish.

And on the opposite side.

Mu Chen smiled calmly, without responding to Governor Liu's words.

Governor Liu knew the meaning behind his question.

Mu Chen naturally understood the meaning behind Governor Liu's words; the two maintained the same tacit understanding and there was no need for further explanation.

"I understand."
