Chapter 317 A Bold and Decisive Approach, Who Dares to Stand in His Way? Greed for Fame and Fortune

The phone rang urgently.
Lü Liang, who was engrossed in reading documents, casually picked up the receiver.
"Old Lu, it's over, it's completely over!"
Hearing his wife Tao Liping's shouts, Lü Liang was instantly terrified.
He thought his wife, who was going through menopause, had lost her temper again and caused trouble.
Previously, during the period when Handong was vigorously rectifying the work style at the grassroots level.
She got into an argument with someone while shopping, verbally abused them, and spat at them, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
The Guangming District Branch detained her for fifteen days and fined her 2,000 yuan on the grounds of disturbing public order.
This time, a minor mistake was severely punished.
This not only cost her fifteen days of freedom but also more than a month's salary.
When she returned to her workplace, although she kept her job, she was disciplined and demoted.
"What happened? Did you get fired?"
Lü Liang subconsciously stood up and asked.
"What the hell are you talking about? I wasn't fired!"
After yelling, Tao Liping asked angrily:
Have you read the in-depth reform plan for our Handong Province?
Lü Liang frowned and glanced at the untouched newspaper.
"I've been very busy with work today and haven't had time to look at it yet. But what did you mean by shouting that? Is it related to the reform plan?"
"Of course they're related!"
Tao Liping said urgently, "The plan clearly states that, based on the provisional regulations for civil servants, a civil servant law will be formulated and promulgated, and management regulations will be formulated and promulgated for personnel in public institutions..."
Lü Liang, then deputy chief prosecutor of the Jingzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate.
Hearing his wife's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought something serious had happened. Isn't it just about improving the rule of law?"
"Isn't it a good thing that there are now clearer, more standardized, and stricter laws and regulations for both civil servants and employees of public institutions?"
“In the past, the selection, assessment, supervision, rights protection, and anti-corruption efforts were not very standardized. Now that there are laws to follow, isn’t that a good thing?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than his wife, Tao Liping, roared:
"What nonsense are you spouting? What's so good about it?"
Do you know what the principle of "all those who enter must be tested" means?
"It means that whether you want to become a civil servant or work in a public institution, you have to take an exam!"
"Moreover, for civil service exams, you can only take the national civil service exam at the provincial level or above..."
Lü Liang frowned.
He has always abided by the law, been honest and upright, and never taken anything for granted.
Therefore, he naturally felt that it was a good thing for Handong to deepen reforms and strengthen the rule of law.
Strengthening the selection, supervision, and assessment of talent in government agencies and public institutions is an even better thing.
There should be fewer people within the system who are unworthy of their positions, incompetent, and driven by personal gain.
Not only will there be much less corruption, but efficiency will also be greatly improved.
But judging from his wife's tone...
She was clearly very dissatisfied with this reform.
Taking menopause into account, she's just too unpredictable.
Therefore, Lü Liang could only cautiously and tentatively ask:
"And then? Why do you feel like it's completely over now?"
Tao Liping said angrily, "Although this is a good thing for the general public, meaning that they have the opportunity to change their fate and get a stable job through studying and taking exams, don't you think it's a bad thing for us?"
"Have you forgotten that several of our nephews and nieces are graduating next year? If things hadn't changed, we could have easily gotten them into the system. But now that it's suddenly changed, they'll have to take an exam to get in!"
His wife's words left Lü Liang utterly astonished.
They oppose reform because they don't want their nephews and nieces to take shortcuts into the system.
She felt that making such a change was like taking her life.
Given his dissatisfaction, could it be that his wife has been paid to do this?
They promised to arrange jobs, but now they're making it mandatory to take an exam for everyone who wants to join...
The more Lü Liang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
He had found it strange before.
Why does my wife spend every weekend either shopping or playing mahjong with friends?
The children are still in school and need to be paid living expenses every month.
The couple's monthly salary and bonuses were not much.
Where does she get so much money to live such a carefree life?
She was previously detained and fined 2,000 yuan.
If this happened back in my rural hometown in Lüliang, I would be heartbroken.
Even after a year of hard work farming, you might not be able to save two thousand yuan.
But after his wife was released, she didn't care at all about being fined too much.
Moreover, she was previously detained and fined because of her arrogant and domineering behavior. When someone accidentally stepped on her foot while she was shopping, she started cursing and spitting at the person...
Looking back now, it's clear that her arrogance and disdain for others stemmed not only from her power, but also from her wealth!
"Old Lu, you fucking say something!"
"You are, after all, the deputy chief prosecutor of Jingzhou, a dignified deputy director-general."
"Is this reform really going to be implemented? Can't you offer some suggestions and leave some room for maneuver?"
"..."
Lü Liang was completely dumbfounded.
I was surprised just now, now I'm speechless.
Compared to ordinary people, his current position and rank are already beyond their reach.
Moreover, let alone deputy director-general level, even deputy division chief or deputy section chief are levels that ordinary people would find difficult to reach even in their entire lives.
But the problem is...
Such a major reform was clearly authorized by the top leadership in Yanjing and designed by the top leadership in Handong.
The fact that it was released through various news media indicates that the Hantong Provincial Committee has clearly reached a consensus.
How could someone as minor as a deputy director-general have a say in such a significant reform?
Let alone a deputy director-general level official, even if you were a deputy provincial governor, it would be difficult to have a say!
The in-depth reforms initiated by Zhao Lichun, the top official of Handong Province, were beyond the reach of Huo Siteng, the top official of Jingzhou City.
So asking someone to voice their objections... isn't that a joke?
But since his wife had spoken, Lü Liang had no choice but to respond.
In order not to anger his wife, Lü Liang had no choice but to go along with her wishes.
"This...isn't this a public announcement to solicit opinions from all sectors of society? I think there's still room for maneuver!"
Before she could finish speaking, Tao Liping said urgently:
"Then you should hurry up and give your opinion. How can every position require an entrance exam?"
"Otherwise, without any special methods or channels, how can we help our relatives and friends find jobs?"
"If you can't even arrange a job, what's the point of being an official? There has to be some benefit to you, right?"
This series of questions left Lü Liang completely bewildered.
He had no idea that his wife would have such thoughts.
The reason she has now revealed her true colors is because the reforms have touched upon her vital interests.
This prevents her from openly abusing her power for personal gain, from enjoying the sense of superiority that power brings, and from obtaining the material satisfaction that power provides.
Plus, menopause makes it hard to control my temper...
Ever since.
She was furious.
Despite it being work hours, they called me.
This left Lü Liang, who usually abides by the law and constantly promotes and teaches the spirit of fairness, justice, and the rule of law, in a truly exasperated state.
Let alone whether I have the right to offer opinions.
Even if there is...
How could you possibly suggest leaving some way and channels for people within the system to arrange for their relatives and friends to get in through back channels?
Let alone modern society, even in ancient times...
Regardless of their private lives, they at least publicly proclaimed, "Even the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people."
The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts!
The concept of fairness has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.
With the continuous development and progress of society.
Although in private, some people inevitably abuse their privileges.
However, under the mainstream ideology of equality for all, fairness must be upheld on the surface.
Otherwise, it would not only contradict the Constitution, but also be difficult to convince the public!
In this round of in-depth reforms, Handong has made changes to its personnel system.
Isn't it all for the purpose of better reflecting fairness and achieving fairness to the greatest extent possible?
The common people will surely applaud, and those within the system who are diligent and capable but not given important positions will also strongly support it.
Against this backdrop.
His wife wanted him to give her opinions, wanting to be treated specially...
This isn't just asking for trouble, it's practically courting death!
but……
Although his wife was so angry that she lost her temper, he had to stay calm.
I've worked so hard to get to my current position, and I really want to keep improving.
How can I go crazy just because she goes crazy?
"Okay, okay, don't rush, calm down."
"Once I finish my current work, I will quickly study the reform plan carefully."
"If you want to offer suggestions, you should first read the plan carefully and understand it, don't you think?"
Tao Liping said urgently, "Then hurry up and look at it, and think of a solution as soon as you're done!"
"I……"
Before Lü Liang could make any promises, the call was disconnected.
"Oh my god, this is insane, absolutely insane!"
After shaking his head and sighing, Lü Liang put down the receiver.
To avoid his wife calling to question him soon.
Lü Liang couldn't even take care of his work for the time being.
Quickly pick up the Handong Daily and find the special edition about Handong's deepening reforms.
This special edition has quite a lot of content.
After a cursory glance, Lü Liang discovered that Handong's in-depth reforms were truly bold and daring.
It involves many aspects, and all of them are deeply intertwined with vested interests, making it a deep-seated area that we dared not touch before.
Just like in the past, in order to attract investment and promote economic growth, environmental protection requirements were not only low, but enforcement was also lax.
Such a relaxed, even permissive, approach naturally attracted a large number of heavy industries, and indeed brought considerable employment and tax revenue to Handong.
The result is severe environmental pollution.
Especially in several cities where heavy industry is concentrated, the ditches are murky and black, and the air has a strange and pungent smell.
Long-term exposure to polluted air and water has led to a sharp decline in the health of local residents and a continuous rise in the incidence of disease.
Because it involves taxation and employment, local officials used to be hesitant to investigate environmental protection.
In addition, the relevant laws and regulations are not very strict, so even if there are penalties, they do not have a deterrent effect.
This time, the deepening of reforms will disregard taxes and employment.
From a legislative perspective, environmental protection requirements and penalties should be significantly increased.
Although a certain amount of time will be given for the relevant companies to rectify the situation within a specified period.
But how many companies are willing to spend a lot of money to quickly rectify their wastewater and waste gas emissions?
Will imposing huge fines on companies that fail to rectify their problems within the specified time or fail to do so properly lead to an unbearable burden on these companies?
