Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

However, what made Gao Hanlin feel somewhat lucky was that Sun Yiguo did not kill him or wipe him out, nor did he involve him in that illegal incident. From this point of view, Sun Yiguo was still a man with some conscience and humanity!

However, he never imagined that if this matter was handled completely according to Sun Yiguo's original intention, then he, the tall secretary, would not be able to become the deputy director this time, and even keeping his freedom would be a luxury. He might even be thrown into prison and work like a sewing machine in prison for several years!

.......

In recent days, the entire Bengang City establishment has been abuzz with rumors, with all sorts of news flying around. The most eye-catching of these rumors is the one regarding the new municipal Party Secretary, a position that is said to be headed by none other than Sun Yiguo.

At the same time, news that the current executive vice mayor Sun Shuo will soon take over the position of mayor spread like wildfire.

Speaking of Sun Shuo, he has been very successful these days, and his tail is almost up to the sky.

He has worked diligently as executive vice mayor for three or four years, and it is only natural for him to take over as mayor.

More importantly, he knew Sun Yiguo's background very well. He was the famous "Prince" from the capital, with a strong family background and extensive connections.

Sun Shuo's mind was as clear as a mirror. As long as he held on tightly to this big brother's strong thighs, his future career would be bright. If he couldn't even rely on such a powerful backer, then there was probably no other reliable person in the world!

Just then, on Monday morning, Sun Shuo got up early.

He carefully selected a brand new, well-tailored suit from his wardrobe and put it on. He then carefully trimmed his hair in front of the mirror and applied two kilograms of hair oil on his head.

After carefully dressing up, he looked radiant and energetic. After all, today was a day of special significance to him - from now on, he was no longer just an executive vice mayor, but the full-fledged mayor of Bengang City!

Not only that, with the promotion of his position, his administrative level will also jump from the original deputy department level to the full department level.

As long as you hold on firmly to the strong and powerful thigh of your big brother, it seems that it is not an unattainable dream to make further progress and enter a higher-level department in the future!

The meeting was about to begin, and the Bengang City Auditorium was already crowded. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, illuminating the crowds' expectant yet nervous expressions. Suddenly, a black sedan slowly approached and stopped at the auditorium entrance.

The car door opened, and Zhao Lei, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and Minister of Organization, stepped out with steady steps. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, with an upright posture and a serious expression, his eyes revealing a sense of majesty and confidence.

Surrounded by a group of staff, Zhao Lei walked towards the auditorium. Every step he took seemed to carry an invisible pressure, which made people feel awe.

The moment he stepped into the auditorium, the once-noisy venue fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on this powerful leader.

You know, today is an important day to announce the candidate for the municipal party secretary.

All the cadres at the level of section chief and above in Bengang City arrived at the meeting early. Some sat upright, some chatted among themselves, but all were filled with trepidation. For these cadres, meeting Zhao Lei, the head of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, in person was a rare opportunity.

Zhao Lei exuded a sense of authority without even getting angry. His stern face, like a sculpture, was expressionless. Yet, this expression alone suddenly made the atmosphere in the meeting hall tense. The department-level officials remained relatively calm, after all, they often had opportunities to interact with provincial leaders.

But for those cadres at the division level or even the section level, meeting the head of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department was as difficult as ascending to heaven. At this moment, they looked at Zhao Lei with admiration and envy in their hearts.

The leaders took their seats one by one, and Zhao Lei sat steadily in the center position.

To his left sat Wen Tao, and to his right sat Sun Yiguo. A careful observer would have noticed something was amiss with Sun Yiguo's expression. His face was sullen, his brow furrowed, as if a heavy burden of resentment weighed heavily on his heart, making it difficult for him to smile.

Logically speaking, Sun Yiguo had already become the most powerful figure in Bengang City, commanding everything from power to influence. Furthermore, he was about to be promoted to Party Secretary, with a powerful family and a complex network of connections backing him. For someone so successful and so successful, it was hard to imagine what else could be causing Mayor Sun to be so worried and troubled?

As time went on, more and more sharp eyes noticed Sun Yiguo's face, which was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it.

The originally orderly crowd below the stage began to stir slightly. Everyone was whispering to each other, talking in low voices, and occasionally pointing in the direction of Sun Yiguo, their eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

Zhao Lei, who was standing on the stage presiding over the meeting, finally arrived at the most critical moment after a brief opening speech - announcing the candidate for acting municipal party secretary.

Although many participants in the audience had heard some rumors before, when the moment really came, they still held their breath involuntarily, and the entire venue instantly fell into a tense and depressing atmosphere.

"Comrades, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, I will now formally announce that, after research and decision, Comrade Wen Tao will serve as the Acting Secretary of the Bengang Municipal Party Committee. I hope that comrades will actively support Comrade Wen Tao's work..."

As soon as Zhao Lei finished speaking, a thunderclap exploded in the conference hall!

"what!!!"

Everyone in the venue was stunned by the sudden news, as if they had been hit by a heavy club. There was silence for a moment, and only the expression of disbelief on everyone's face was clearly visible.

Wentao?

Isn't Wen Tao the newly appointed Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? He served as Deputy Secretary for less than a month and now he's the Secretary?

Isn’t the municipal party secretary Mayor Sun?

And isn't the mayor Sun Shuo the executive vice mayor?

For a moment, the auditorium was in chaos, and everyone was talking about it...

Seeing this scene, Sun Yiguo frowned tightly.
