Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

After Wentao finished his speech, the audience burst into warm applause.

Guan Hongjiang sat in his seat, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement.

This conference was of great significance to him because he became the biggest winner.

...

The cadre meeting ended and everyone dispersed.

Wentao spoke throughout the entire conference, which made him feel a little exhausted.

So, at noon, he decided not to go to the county government cafeteria for lunch, but asked Kang Cheng to get him some food.

Just as he was about to enjoy lunch, he suddenly received a call from Li Ming, the deputy mayor of Fangcheng City.

Before this, Wentao had met Deputy Mayor Li Ming once.

At that time, Li Ming, the deputy mayor in charge of economy, came to Longwan Town for inspection, and Wentao was personally responsible for the reception work.

"Comrade Wentao, it's time for dinner now. I hope I didn't disturb you while you were eating." Deputy Mayor Li Ming's tone was particularly polite.

On the one hand, it was because of Wen Tao's special status as a "political rising star," and on the other hand, the call to Wen Tao was actually to ask for something...

"No, no, Deputy Mayor Li, what do you want to talk to me about?" Wen Tao responded politely, after all, the other party was his superior.

"It's like this, Comrade Wentao. Your county's Public Security Bureau Chief, Zou Pingzhong, is my brother-in-law, and Zou Yu is my eldest nephew. This kid has been spoiled since he was young. He doesn't think twice about what he did when he had a few drinks. There were some misunderstandings about what happened with Comrade Kang Cheng. I've already given him a good scolding. Do you think it would be okay for the Zou family to apologize to the person involved and provide some financial compensation?"

Li Ming said cautiously that although he was half a grade older than Wentao, he was "right" in this matter.

Wentao now understood what Deputy Mayor Li meant by his call. He was here to plead for mercy!

At this time, Wentao frowned deeply. After all, Li Ming was his direct superior. If he refused directly, he might lose face for the other party.

But if you agree to the other party's request, you are condoning crime!

Wen Tao thought for a moment and said, "Deputy Mayor Li, if a man breaks the law, he's guilty just like any ordinary citizen! Zou Yu's behavior is extremely egregious. He's suspected of attempted rape, and that's already involved in a sexual offense. I'm sorry, I can't agree to this!"

Li Ming thought that as a leader he had treated Wen Tao politely, but he didn't expect that Wen Tao didn't give him any face at all!

Just hung up the phone!

To be honest, as the deputy mayor, he had no control over personnel transfers or finances. Wen Tao really didn't give him face, and there was nothing he could do...

After hanging up the phone with Wentao, Li Ming called his brother-in-law Zou Pingzhong.

"I've already made my announcements. Your new county chief is adamant and I can't do anything about it! Besides, Xiaoyu has gone too far this time! You should take charge of this, too!"

Li Ming didn't care about his "brother-in-law's" face at all and hung up the phone directly!

Because of this little thing done by his nephew, Wentao was frustrated and he was even angry!

Li Ming's phone call completely woke up Zou Pingzhong, who was about to take a nap.

The new county magistrate is determined to deal with his son, and there is nothing he can do!

Moreover, at the county meeting that morning, the new county chief's thundering measures shocked him even more. If he didn't take action, he might be the next one!

......

Rumble... accompanied by a loud thunder, the sky began to rain heavily, and the big raindrops hit the windows, making a crackling sound. It was just the beginning of August, the rainy season, and it had been raining all day. Just after a break, the weather changed again!

After dinner, Wen Tao had just finished a sweet phone call with "Miss Jian," but he still had a bad feeling in his heart. He couldn't put his finger on what it was, but he had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.
