Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

"Director Wen, this is my brother-in-law Liu Wenxuan, the person in charge of Beiling Coal Mine." Li Hui introduced as soon as he entered the door.

"Such a serious accident occurred at the Beiling Coal Mine. I have severely criticized Wenxuan, and Wenxuan also promised to provide financial compensation to the trapped miners. There were no casualties in this mine disaster. You see, let's just let this matter pass, okay?" After Li Hui finished speaking, he took out a handbag full of money and handed it to Wentao.

There was a full 100,000 yuan in the bag. He had already found out all about Wentao's background. He didn't believe that a college graduate could refuse the temptation of 100,000 yuan.

According to Wentao's salary standard, 100,000 yuan is his salary for a full ten years.

Although Li Hui is a full-time provincial-level cadre, he appears very respectful in front of Wen Tao, a deputy-section-level secretary.

One reason is that Wentao is the governor's chief secretary, and the other is that Li Hui has already inquired and knows that Wentao is fully responsible for the investigation of this accident. So, as long as Wentao is dealt with, everything will be safe.

Although Li Hui's tone was one of negotiation, his words implied that he would not let Wentao resist.

Wentao was stunned by Li Hui's actions.

what?

Just forget it?

If I hadn't existed, would the mining disaster that almost killed hundreds of people have just ended like that?

After a pause, Wen Tao said, "Secretary Li, the State Council issued a red-headed document as early as 1995, prohibiting small coal mines from illegally mining. Your brother-in-law not only mined illegally, but also nearly caused a disaster. As the parent official of Taicheng City, are you just going to let it go?"

"Director Wen, more friends mean more paths. If you need my help in the future, just give me a call and I will absolutely not hesitate. We will handle this matter internally and solve it internally. Wenxuan can just take some more money as compensation!" Li Hui said.

After saying that, Li Hui pushed the handbag containing the money in front of Wentao and unzipped the handbag.

Wen Tao's face darkened upon hearing this. He stared directly at Li Hui, his tone undeniably resolute: "Secretary Li, you're playing with the safety of the people! This isn't just a simple case of illegal mining; it concerns the dignity of the law and the trust of the people. If such behavior can be tolerated internally, then where is the majesty of the law? How can the safety of the people be guaranteed?"

He paused, pushed back the bag filled with money, took a deep breath, and continued, "As a public official, I, Wentao, dare not take your money, much less sacrifice justice for personal gain. If I condone illegal behavior because of personal relationships, I would be ashamed to face my own conscience, and even more ashamed to face the innocent miners and their families who have been harmed."

Li Hui obviously didn't expect Wen Tao to be so direct and tough, and his face turned a little awkward and ugly. But he was a veteran in the officialdom after all, so he quickly regained his composure and tried to handle the issue in a more tactful way.

Li Hui poked his brother-in-law Liu Wenxuan's arm. Liu Wenxuan immediately understood and said with a smile, "Director Wen, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble this time. I will definitely do a good job of handling the aftermath for the family members. Please rest assured!"

In Taicheng, Liu Wenxuan relied on his brother-in-law who was the secretary of the municipal party committee to act arrogantly and look down on everyone.

My brother-in-law is the eldest, and he is the second!

I have kept myself very humble today. It is really rare to have such an attitude!

Seeing Liu Wenxuan's good attitude, Wentao didn't give them any more cold shoulder. He took a deep breath and said, "Just be thankful for your good luck this time. If these 106 miners had lost their lives, you would have been in trouble. The consequences would have been disastrous!"

Hearing that Wentao's tone had softened, Liu Wenxuan still wanted to test Wentao's attitude.
