Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo, who had been beaming in the audience, suddenly paused his radiant smile. He stared in disbelief at Wen Tao, who was about to take over as Municipal Party Secretary.

"How could this happen? If Wentao becomes the municipal party secretary, then my position as mayor will be in vain."

Sun Shuo's heart raced like a thousand horses, countless thoughts racing through his mind. He felt panicked and uneasy, as if all his efforts would be in vain.

Not only was Sun Shuo's heart in turmoil, but the entire Bengang City leadership team was also filled with surprise. They knew nothing about Wen Tao's identity and background, but they knew the situation of the former mayor, Sun Yiguo, very well.

Sun Yiguo has served as mayor for many years and is experienced and well-connected. Unexpectedly, he lost to this young man who had just arrived!

Everyone can't help but wonder what kind of powerful background this Deputy Secretary Wen has. Is it possible that the provincial party committee leaders have some special considerations?

Moreover, judging from Wen Tao's strong attitude when he parachuted into Bengang City this time, he is definitely not comparable to the weak and incompetent Gao Hanlin before.

If a conflict arose between the two in the future, which side would they, as members of the Standing Committee, side on? This undoubtedly became an extremely difficult choice facing the many leaders in the audience...

Wen Tao stood on the podium, his posture erect and his expression serious yet tinged with humility. He cleared his throat and began his brief yet all-too-familiar inaugural speech: "Dear leaders and comrades, I am deeply honored to assume this important position. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the provincial Party committee leadership for their trust and support."

He paused, then continued, "In my future work, I will unswervingly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee, closely unite around the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, learn humbly, and work hard. At the same time, I will actively cooperate closely with all the leaders of Bengang City, work hand in hand, and jointly promote the development of Bengang City to a new level!"

There was a burst of enthusiastic applause from the audience, but Wentao knew in his heart that these words were just old clichés. However, as a newly appointed official, he still had to say the necessary polite words.

The meeting quickly concluded, and the leaders rose and left. Wen Tao had originally planned to see off Zhao Lei, the important leader, and then convene a brief meeting with all the city's leaders to further clarify the next work priorities and division of labor.

But after seeing Zhao Lei off, Sun Yiguo didn't even say hello and got directly into his private car. Looking at the taillights of the private car that was gradually moving away, Wen Tao shook his head lightly...

......

At this moment, Zhao Lei sat quietly in the back seat of the special car, staring at the street scene that was constantly receding outside the car window, but his thoughts were surging like a turbulent tide, and he couldn't calm down for a long time...

You know, Sun Yiguo was nominated as the candidate for the municipal party secretary by Governor Zhao Guodong himself, and this nomination has been successfully reviewed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

Zhao Lei knew Sun Yiguo's background very well - he was a young master from Beijing, a genuine third-generation red.

He knew very well that the energy and resources behind Sun Yiguo should not be underestimated.

However, just as Zhao Lei was rushing to the Bengang City Cadre Conference with great anticipation, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly broke the silence in the car.

When he saw that the caller ID showed that it was the Provincial Party Secretary Jian Hongguo, his heart skipped a beat and an ominous premonition instantly came to his mind.

As expected, Jian Hongguo's deep and serious voice came from the other end of the line: "Comrade Zhao Lei, the latest instructions have just arrived from the capital. It has been decided to appoint Comrade Wen Tao as the acting county party secretary."

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Lei felt a buzzing in his head and was completely stunned.

According to normal personnel management regulations, the provincial party committee does have the authority to appoint the municipal party secretary.

And usually, when it comes to important positions like appointing the municipal party secretary, unless there are special circumstances, the capital will generally not interfere easily.

After all, when it comes to the appointment of department-level cadres, it often depends on the game of forces and the competition of actual capabilities. But why did the capital city interfere this time?

What surprised Zhao Lei even more was that young Wen Tao, who had only been appointed Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee for a short month, had so quickly leaped through the ranks and been promoted directly to Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Wasn't this a bit too big a step?

For a moment, countless questions swirled in Zhao Lei's mind, leaving him puzzled.

As far as Zhao Lei knows, there doesn't seem to be any leader named Wen in Beijing...

Zhao Lei's heart was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm down. He thought to himself, this kid Wen Tao's background is definitely not as simple as it seems. He must pay more attention to him in the future...

Meanwhile, a heated argument was unfolding in the mayor's office.

Sun Shuo's face was filled with resentment, like a wronged woman. Ever since the city's leadership meeting, he had been pestering Sun Yiguo, muttering non-stop, "Mayor, we agreed on this! You'll be the city party secretary, and I'll take over as mayor..."

However, facing Sun Shuo's constant pestering, Sun Yiguo could no longer bear it. With a loud "bang", he slammed the teacup on the luxurious desk at Sun Shuo's feet.

In an instant, the boiling hot tea in the cup splashed everywhere, quickly spreading around Sun Shuo's leather shoes, with steam rising.

"Damn it, how should I know! This matter has obviously been approved by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, but who knew that those Provincial Party Committee leaders would suddenly change their minds! Damn it, I will never let them go!" At this time, Sun Yiguo was like an extremely angry beast, pacing back and forth anxiously in the spacious office.

"Mayor, you're talking about Wen Tao. He's so young, yet he's become the municipal party secretary. Is there... is there some unknown reason behind this? I always feel that for him to be able to hold such a high position at such a young age, is there a powerful backer behind him?"

Sun Shuo spoke with extreme caution, stealing glances at the mayor's face while carefully choosing his words. After all, how could Sun Shuo be so stupid as to hold the position of Executive Vice Mayor?

You know, in Bengang City, Sun Yiguo's identity and background are known to everyone.

Although Wentao has not been here for long, someone must have already reported the situation to him in detail.

However, even so, Wentao actually dared to confront Sun Yiguo directly and did not back down. This shows that he is definitely not a character who can be easily messed with!

Perhaps there are deeper forces and networks hidden behind it, but they have not yet been noticed by everyone.
