Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

After seeing Sun Peilong off, Wentao pondered for a while, then picked up the phone and made a call.

"Are you Lao Pang? I'm Wentao..."

He called Pang Lei, deputy director of the State Administration of Work Safety, and explained the weakness of grassroots safety supervision and the lack of knowledge about relevant policies, regulations and professional fields. He invited comrades from the State Administration of Work Safety to come to Bengang City for "knowledge exchange."

To put it bluntly, they just want to take advantage of the State Administration of Work Safety and ask higher authorities for guidance!

In addition, experts from the State Administration of Work Safety were invited to provide on-site assistance to Bengang City, thus saving the cost of hiring experts.

Pang Lei was delighted when he heard Wen Tao's invitation. Their State Administration of Work Safety also wanted to take a look around and learn more about the situation. However, if they "visited" the area without authorization, it might cause dissatisfaction in some cities and even panic among the city leaders.

As a result, the two hit it off!

It’s a win-win situation!

......

Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo dragged Safety Supervision Bureau Director Sun Peilong into the mayor's office.

"Mayor, look, that brat has recruited the people from the State Administration of Work Safety and has forbidden us from hiring experts to help us! What will we do if the people from the State Administration of Work Safety find any problems?"

As soon as he entered the room, Sun Shuo started complaining to Sun Yiguo.

"Oh?"

"Mayor Sun, Secretary Wentao has good intentions in doing this. People from the State Administration of Work Safety have provided professional training to the staff of our Municipal Work Safety Supervision Bureau, and the on-site experts have also put forward many constructive suggestions, which are beneficial to the development of our city's work on production safety!" said Sun Peilong.

Every word Sun Peilong said came from the heart, without a trace of falsehood.

Although he had only known Wentao for two days, he had already developed a deep respect for the new Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Since taking office, Wentao had been wholeheartedly committed to achieving tangible results, and Sun Peilong naturally wanted to protect such a dedicated and hard-working person.

Look at the previous supervisor, Sun Shuo. His mind was not on how to improve the welfare of the people, but on how to make money by any means necessary, even resorting to backstabbing and accusing others of corruption! This behavior is truly despicable.

"Okay, Old Sun, let's leave this matter at that. Secretary Wentao has done a really great job!" Sun Yiguo narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo suddenly became anxious, his face instantly becoming extremely grim. After all, if this thing fell through, it would mean that hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual revenue would vanish into thin air. How could he not be extremely anxious?

He was about to continue his defense, but before he could finish his words, Sun Yiguo waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him.

In Sun Yiguo's eyes, handling the matter in this way was actually a good thing.

Besides, Gao Hanlin was about to be transferred. If he could handle this matter beautifully and successfully let the news reach the ears of the leaders in the capital, then all the credit would naturally be attributed to Mayor Sun.

Thinking of this, Sun Yiguo couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

......

During this period, Wentao was like a hermit who rarely left his office.

He specifically sought out Li Mingke, the deputy director of the office, and through much persuasion, he obtained a large collection of documents and materials related to Bengang City. These documents covered a wide range of topics, including economic development blueprints, the historical context of cultural heritage, and research reports on social welfare.

After getting the information, Wentao felt like he had found a treasure and immediately devoted himself to studying it diligently.

Not only that, Wentao also avoided all the meetings, big and small, held in the city during this period whenever he could. If he really couldn't shirk it, he would obediently play the role of a "tool man."

Although nominally he is the third in command, he is very clear about the current situation - when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

If he really confronted Sun Yiguo head-on and both sides were destroyed, I'm afraid no one in the entire municipal party committee would be willing to obey his orders.

However, Wen Tao's low-key attitude made Sun Yiguo very anxious.

Originally, Sun Yiguo thought that Wentao would definitely take action after coming to his territory, so he has been on high alert recently, ready to deal with any challenges that Wentao might launch.

But who would have thought that Wentao would be like a tortoise retreating into its shell, completely motionless. This was truly a waste of Sun Yiguo's efforts!

In this week's meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, a solemn and depressing atmosphere permeated every corner, because today's agenda had only one important and sensitive topic - to take severe measures against Luo Tong, Secretary of the Gangcheng County Party Committee!

Pan Linyuan, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was the first to break the silence. With a serious expression, he said, "Leaders, let me briefly report on the recent investigation into Comrade Luo Tong. Since the joint investigation team arrived in Gangcheng County and began its work, through in-depth and meticulous investigations and evidence collection, we have discovered that Comrade Luo Tong has clearly shown a lack of slackness and negligence in his approach to production safety since assuming the position of Secretary of the Gangcheng County Party Committee. This passive response directly led to the occurrence of this serious mine accident. It can be said that he bears unshirkable and significant leadership responsibility for this catastrophic mining disaster."

After a brief pause, Pan Linyuan took a deep breath and continued, "Not only that, but during our further investigation, we discovered, shockingly, that Comrade Luo Tong engaged in the egregious practice of soliciting and accepting bribes, even openly accepting dividends from certain mine owners. Based on the aforementioned violations and suspected criminal activity, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, after careful study and collective discussion, has decided to recommend that Comrade Luo Tong be expelled from the Party and removed from office. At the same time, all suspected criminal activity will be transferred to the Municipal Procuratorate for subsequent review, prosecution, and other related legal procedures in accordance with the law!"

As soon as Pan Linyuan finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone present knew very well that such a detailed and conclusive investigation report was not something that the so-called joint investigation team could easily come to.

Many people are well aware of this, and I'm afraid there must be private discussions and planning between Mayor Sun and the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission behind this.

This kind of handling result is really shocking to everyone!

Luo Tong was, after all, a county party secretary and a division-level cadre. Isn't this a bit too harsh a punishment for him?
