Features: The mood of Yu Yi-bo, the Party Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary of a province, is extremely heavy. In the increasingly severe battle against corruption, Shi Zhai, the Party Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary of the city, was found to have accepted bribes while handling cases. This deeply disappointed him. The new candidate for the position of Party Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary of the city has already been submitted. What should he do? Approve or not? Yu Yi-bo gently pushed open the window of his office. A dense mist rushed in quickly, swiftly filling the room, and even the scroll on the wall was swiftly enveloped by the mist. Yu Yi-bo cast his gaze upon the long scroll. It was given to him by Qiu Xiaoqiu, an elderly calligrapher from Jiangcheng. The scroll contained a work by Zhang Yanghao, a Yuan Dynasty lyricist and also an elderly censor: "Peaks and ridges gather, waves surge in rage, the pass of Tongguan, bounded by mountains and rivers. Gazing at the Western capital, hesitation fills my heart. Heartbroken at the sites where the Qin and Han dynasties once passed, palaces and towers have all turned to dust. Prosperity brings suffering to the people; decline brings suffering to the people!" Every time Yu Yi-bo looked at this scroll, an indescribable feeling filled his heart. The essence of being an official lies in serving the people. Through the ages, dynasties have all shouted the principle of people-centered governance—the people are the foundation of the state. But in reality? The rise and fall of the world, the suffering of the people! As for the candidate for the position of Party Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary of Jiangcheng, Wei Xiangguo, who was submitted by the city committee—how is he? The fight against corruption is a struggle, a severe political struggle! Can Wei Xiangguo handle it? This question has been haunting Yu Yi-bo ever since Shi Zhai's incident occurred, ever since Wei Xiangguo was submitted by the city committee. Day after day, he has been asking himself this question, but he has yet to make a decision on who should replace Shi Zhai. Secretary Chen Tao pushed the door in and interrupted Yu Yi-bo's thoughts. Chen Tao pointed to his watch, reminding Yu Yi-bo not to forget the time of the Standing Committee meeting of the Provincial Party Committee. Yu Yi-bo waved his hand to signal Chen Tao to come in.
"Little Chen, who do you think would be most suitable to replace the Party Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary of Jiangcheng?"
"Of course, we need someone tough, someone who isn't afraid to take decisive action. Now, corrupt officials are like weeds—without some harsh measures, the people will feel stifled." Yu Yi-bo quietly watched Chen Tao. "What about Wei Xiangguo in Jiangcheng?"
Chen Tao stared at Yu Yi-bo. "Why didn't you think about sending someone up from above? That would be more detached. Now, officials protect each other, layer upon layer, and they can't solve the problem on their own."
Yu Yi-bo quietly took a few steps back. "In a moment, you go to the airport to pick up Qiu Yuan. Have her come straight to my office after getting off the plane."
"Your meaning is to have Director Qiu..."
