Mu Chen read through each page with extreme care.
My eyes scanned every word and every comment, my brain working at lightning speed.
He conducted the most accurate assessment by combining the current situation in Handong, the needs of the pilot project, and other information channels at his disposal.
Is the resume accurate?
Are there any inflated past achievements?
Are their professional skills solid?
Is the evaluation of work style reliable?
How deep is the connection with the Zhong family?
Each one requires careful evaluation!
Time slips away silently under scrutiny.
Only the soft rustling of papers remained in the office, while the world outside the window had transformed into a dim, yellowish nightscape.
Finally, Mu Chen closed the folder.
He leaned back slightly, sinking into the large seat, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the smooth, solid wood armrests.
On paper, the Zhong family's list is almost flawless.
Zhou Bingyi, Lin Jing, and Zheng Yan, especially Zhou Bingyi, were indeed timely help to solve Handong's urgent crisis.
But there's no such thing as a free lunch.
What the Zhong family wants is far more than simply providing talent to Handong.
What they want is to use these capable people to deeply establish their roots in Handong, a land that has just undergone a storm and a reshaping of the power structure!
Occupying a key position paves the way for larger-scale intervention in the future!
This is an open conspiracy.
Use the talent that Handong desperately needs to exchange for the position that the Zhong family wants.
The shortage of cadres in Handong is a reality, the pressure of the pilot project is a reality, and the livelihood needs of tens of millions of people are an even greater reality.
He needs these people.
In other words, Handong needs these capable and experienced professional cadres to help Handong develop.
but……
Mu Chen would never allow Handong to fall from one quagmire into another, even more hidden vortex!
People from the Zhong family can be used, but they must stay on the track set by Mu Chen and serve the overall development of Handong, rather than becoming tools for a particular family to seize profits.
The rules must be set by him.
With this thought in mind, Mu Chen no longer hesitated.
He picked up the red dedicated phone on the table and dialed the number that went directly to the central command.
After a few seconds, the call was connected.
Old Master Xiao's calm yet authoritative voice rang out, carrying a hint of barely perceptible amusement:
"Xiao Chen? Calling at this hour, it seems you've opened the gift list from the Zhong family?"
Clearly, Mr. Xiao was fully aware of Zhong Xiaoai's actions.
Mu Chen's voice remained calm and steady:
"Yes, Mr. Xiao."
"I've seen the list."
“Zhou Bingyi, Lin Jing, and Zheng Yan have solid resumes and relevant expertise. They are indeed the backbone forces that Handong urgently needs to fill, especially Zhou Bingyi, who is very suitable for the position of director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.”
He didn't beat around the bush; he directly pointed out the core needs and initial assessment.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Old Xiao's voice carried a hint of amusement.
He smiled and said:
"Oh? Such a high rating?"
Immediately, Old Xiao's tone turned serious, and he said:
“These people are promising talents; if used properly, they will be a great asset to Handong.”
"But Xiao Chen..."
Old Xiao paused slightly.
“Using these people is like opening a door, allowing the Zhong family’s reach into Handong.”
"This pool of water has just cleared up a bit. Are you sure... you're ready?"
The phrase "prepared" implies a question that goes far beyond simply accepting a few talented individuals.
It was asking about Mu Chen's ability to manage complex situations, and his composure in balancing the forces of all parties and ensuring that the winds of Han Dong remained unbiased!
The question is whether he can maintain his bottom line and avoid being swept away by undercurrents while introducing fresh ideas!
Faced with Elder Xiao's pointed question, a faint yet unwavering smile slowly appeared on Mu Chen's face.
There was no hesitation or wavering in that smile, only a calm and confident demeanor that indicated control over the entire situation.
"Don't worry, Elder Xiao."
"Whether the waters of Handong are deep or murky, how they flow and where they flow to..."
"I know what I'm doing."
"This opening is open! I want the person!"
"I'll teach them the rules!"
Chapter 345 Once you arrive in Handong, you have to follow the rules!
The official document from the Organization Department of Beijing was issued very quickly!
Suddenly!
This has stirred up waves among the cadres in Handong Province!
The appointment came very quickly!
It was faster than many people expected!
The document content is clear and concise!
Comrade Zhou Bingyi is appointed Director of the Development and Reform Commission of Handong Province!
Comrade Lin Jing has been appointed as the Deputy Director of the Finance Department of Handong Province!
Comrade Zheng Yan has been appointed as the Deputy Director of the Department of Transportation of Handong Province!
The other people on the list were also appointed to deputy positions in key departments such as land and resources and housing and urban-rural development!
They are all key figures with real power!
Every position is precisely positioned at the point where Handong most urgently needs to achieve results, and where it is also the focus of power and risk!
The Zhong family's move was precise and significant!

Jingzhou Railway Station, platform.
A high-speed train coming from the direction of Beijing slowly came to a stop.
Zhou Bingyi, carrying a simple briefcase, followed the flow of people off the train.
He wore a well-fitting executive jacket, stood tall and straight, and wore gold-rimmed glasses. Behind the lenses, his eyes were sharp and calm as he quickly scanned the bustling crowd on the platform and the outline of Jingzhou City in the distance.
He is 47 years old this year, holds a doctorate in economics and management from Peking University, and has worked for many years in core departments of ministries in Beijing, participating in the overall coordination of several major national projects.
His resume is impressive, and his abilities are beyond question.
But as Zhou Bingyi stepped onto the land of Handong, he felt little excitement at his arrival. Instead, he was filled with a heavy sense of scrutiny and a hint of barely perceptible caution.
The waters of Handong were deeper and muddier than he had anticipated.
Zhao Lichun has just fallen, and the aftershocks of the storm have not yet subsided.
The pilot project is in full swing, but it has far-reaching consequences.
The legendary special envoy, Mu Chen, was even more unfathomable.
Zhou Bingyi's trip was not only a crucial step in the Zhong family's strategy, but also a significant leap in his personal career.
Whether they are dragons or worms, whether they soar to great heights or fall to their deaths, it all depends on their performance in Handong.
He took a deep breath and looked toward the exit.
There, staff from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, who had come to pick them up, were already waiting to greet them.
