Air-Dropped into Handong: Director Hou, Mind Your Discipline

Gu Shenzhi transmigrated to a parallel world and spent twenty-two years building his career in public service. Capable and experienced, he rose step by step to become a powerful division director in the energy sector. He knew every rule and regulation inside out, wielded real authority, and got things done reliably.

A top-tier elite family wanted to push its younger generation into positions of power. In pursuit of political achievements and credentials, they would stop at nothing, illegally mobilizing an inspection team to suddenly launch a sweeping investigation of energy-sector officials, hoping to build their own careers by trampling on others' futures.

The young head of the inspection office led a high-profile team to conduct checks. He thought he was about to score a major win and land a big promotion, but when he arrived, he was stunned. None of the problems he had expected to uncover were there. Instead, he found Gu Shenzhi and a legitimate inspection team waiting for him.

Gu Shenzhi immediately produced the proper documents and checked the procedures one by one. On the spot, he pointed out that the other side was investigating outside its jurisdiction, had failed to file a report in advance, and lacked the necessary approvals. Everything had been handled legally and in accordance with the rules, leaving them no room to argue.

The grand inspection was a complete fiasco. The head of the inspection office not only failed to earn credit, but was also held accountable and disciplined for breaking the rules, becoming a laughingstock in his circle.

The elite family refused to give up. They joined forces with senior officials transferred in from elsewhere, took control of the local government, and planned to disrupt the local power structure and seize energy resources, targeting and suppressing Gu Shenzhi at every turn.

Facing pressure from all sides, Gu Shenzhi was entrusted with a critical mission and transferred to a senior local government post to take charge! He set the region's reckless development back on track, overturned arbitrary decisions, and stood firm on the rules. Relying neither on connections nor shortcuts, he used only proper procedures and proven ability to break the grip of privilege, tear apart entrenched interest groups, and firmly take control of the region's development!
