Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

It turned out that Sun Yiguo not only wanted to use the Gangcheng County production safety accident as an excuse to make Gao Hanlin embarrassed in public at the Standing Committee meeting, but also wanted to use this opportunity to give Wentao a severe warning!

For a moment, the entire conference room was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Hanlin, waiting for his response.

After a long while, Gao Hanlin finally spoke, hesitating and stammering, "Well... Gangcheng County's mineral resource structure is very complex, and there are also numerous private illegal mines. These areas are often difficult for our government departments to effectively supervise. Therefore, if we simply put all the blame on Comrade Luo Tong, it would probably be a bit far-fetched and unreasonable..."

When Gao Hanlin spoke, his tone was obviously timid and hesitant, and he looked extremely uneasy.

Not only were his words vague and hesitant, but he also lacked the decisiveness and courage that a municipal party secretary should have. Instead, he sounded more like a secretary who was trembling with fear, treading on thin ice, and always cautiously seeking the leader's opinions.

"Secretary Gao, your understanding is wrong! No matter where in Bengang City, there is no place that we cannot supervise. We can only say that the supervision is in place! Now the coal mine water seepage accident has caused a lot of uproar. Yesterday afternoon, reporters from the party newspaper came to visit, and it will be reported in the newspaper tomorrow! By then, we will not be able to suppress it even if we want to!" Liu Li, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, continued.

If Sun Yiguo had just argued with him, perhaps Gao Hanlin could have dealt with him for some time.

However, at this moment, facing the collective siege of a group of members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, Gao Hanlin was really unable to resist.

Although he is the number one figure in Bengang City, at this point, his so-called "top leader" title is just a facade.

He could no longer control the situation even at the most critical Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

Luo Tong of Gangcheng County is the only remaining county party secretary among his descendants.

Before this, the main leaders of the municipal agencies and other county party secretaries who had been strongly supported and carefully cultivated by him had all been taken down one by one by Sun Yiguo for various reasons.

Seeing that his last lifeline - the county party secretary - was about to meet with misfortune, Gao Hanlin felt deeply that his political career had simply reached its worst point!

In the past, accidents like these in illegal mining pits that resulted in individual deaths were not earth-shattering events. Usually, a simple payment of compensation would settle the matter.

Moreover, this situation is not limited to Gangcheng County. Looking across China, whether in the entire city or the entire province, such cases are everywhere, and you can find a lot of them at any time.

Gao Hanlin always believed that this incident was by no means accidental, and that behind it must be the sinister intentions and wanton incitement of Sun Yiguo and his gang.

However, faced with such a difficult situation, he felt helpless, as if he was trapped in an invisible net and unable to escape.

What made him even more frustrated was that, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find anyone he could trust to secretly conduct the investigation for him. At this moment, he felt like he was in a dark wilderness, alone and helpless.

At this moment, Sun Yiguo's triumphant voice was heard: "Since everyone agrees, let's implement the plan proposed by Comrade Zhai Yanjun. Comrade Luo Tong from Gangcheng County will be suspended immediately. The Municipal Public Security Bureau, Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Municipal Procuratorate will jointly form a joint investigation team and quickly enter Gangcheng County to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of this incident!"

Hearing this, Gao Hanlin's face instantly turned ashen, a mixture of anger and unwillingness. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force.

Watching another county party secretary fall like this, the pain in his heart was beyond words.

As the secretary of the municipal party committee, he felt that his situation was extremely miserable.

He should have been in control of the situation, the one who could turn the tide, but now he was being controlled at every turn, unable even to protect his capable subordinates. This feeling of powerlessness was like a heavy boulder, weighing him down, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Wen Tao did not express any opinion from beginning to end. Instead, he sat quietly by the side, drinking tea and watching this "political fight," no, "crushing!"

He saw that there was no light in Gao Hanlin's eyes. With Bengang City's business in such a state, even if a "god" came, he could not save Gao Hanlin.

......

Mayor's Office.

"Mayor, Gao Hanlin is truly finished this time! After all this trouble, which city official would dare to have anything to do with him? Besides, did you see that new secretary, Wen Tao, staring blankly throughout the Standing Committee meeting like he'd lost his soul? I bet he was terrified by our display!"

As soon as the Standing Committee meeting ended, Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo walked into Sun Yiguo's office with a smile on his face. While speaking, he did not forget to flatter Sun Yiguo enthusiastically.

"Hmph! Gao Hanlin is just like a grasshopper in autumn. He won't be able to jump for long! On the contrary, you have to find a suitable opportunity to help me teach this newly appointed Wentao a lesson! He is only in his twenties, but he is already a deputy department-level cadre. If I don't teach him a lesson, won't he become lawless and fly to the sky?" Sun Yiguo said with his arms folded across his chest, looking proud.

Looking back on today's Standing Committee meeting, Sun Yiguo felt that he was simply the most dazzling person in the whole venue, and he stole the limelight!

Looking at Wentao's timid and fearful appearance at the meeting, Sun Yiguo felt so relieved!

It was as if all the frustration and grievances he had endured in the Handong Youth Class had been vented and released at this moment. Now that he was the boss on his own turf, how could he be afraid of a mere newcomer like Wen Tao?

When he was in Handong, he was indulged and protected by many high-ranking officials.

However, this is not Handong, but Liaoan!

So what if Jian Hongguo is the Secretary of the Liaoan Provincial Party Committee?

When these young generations have conflicts among themselves, can they just run back home and ask their elders to intervene?

After all, everyone knew an unwritten rule: as long as things weren't over the top, the older generation generally wouldn't interfere in disputes between the younger generation. This was also the unspoken rule among these so-called "princelings."
