Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

These words were like sharp swords, piercing Sun Yiguo's ears, making his face turn red instantly and feeling humiliated.

Moreover, Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo was in his office at that time, and Sun Shuo heard Wen Tao's words. How could Mayor Sun tolerate it?

"Wentao, let me tell you, although you are the top leader, I am also an old mayor after all. You better be careful when you talk to me!" Sun Yiguo was furious and shouted into the phone.

However, Wen Tao on the other end of the line wasn't intimidated by his aura. Instead, he responded in a more serious and urgent tone, "Mayor Yiguo, now is not the time for us to argue. Please leave for Gangcheng County immediately. This mass incident is of no small importance!"

Although he was also filled with anger, Wentao tried hard to control his emotions, hoping to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Sun Yiguo was silent for a moment, and then responded reluctantly: "I understand, I will arrange it now."

After saying that, he fiercely pressed the hang-up button with a "click", as if to vent all his dissatisfaction. The whole office suddenly fell into a dead silence, only the hung-up phone receiver was still trembling slightly.

At this moment, Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo, who had been observing everyone's expressions, rolled his eyes, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. He approached Sun Yiguo and said cautiously, "Mayor, if this mass incident gets any bigger, do you think it would be a good opportunity to punish Wen Tao?"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he seemed to have already formed a detailed plan in his mind.

After hearing what Sun Shuo said, Sun Yiguo's brows immediately furrowed deeply. He also knew that this matter was not a trivial matter. If it really fermented and was reported in the media, the secretary and the mayor would undoubtedly be the first to "take the blame".

"We must not act rashly on this matter. If the situation escalates, I'm afraid I won't be able to shirk responsibility!" Sun Yiguo said solemnly.

"Mayor, this incident was caused by Haoyuan Mining Company. Our Bengang City is a province rich in mineral resources, but Wentao currently does not have the energy to regulate the mining industry. When he has established a firm foothold here and the situation stabilizes in the future, the mining companies in our city will inevitably suffer a major impact." Sun Shuo spoke in a hurried tone, his face full of anxiety.

"Mayor, please remember that you have a stake in the mining industry. When that happens, can we still remain unscathed?"

"Rather than waiting until we're passively attacked, why not take the initiative and take advantage of this incident to bring him down in one fell swoop? He's currently only the acting municipal party secretary and hasn't even been officially appointed by the National People's Congress! While this is extremely risky, if we succeed immediately, you'll still be the municipal party secretary, and I'll still be the mayor! At that point, we'll still have full control of Bengang City!"

Sun Yiguo frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Then according to your opinion, how should it be operated specifically?"

"Mayor, in my opinion, we can cleverly place some of our own people among the workers who are causing trouble, and then seize the opportunity to act secretly, deliberately provoking conflicts and disputes between the police and the people. In this way, the situation will surely become chaotic, and it will not be so easy for Wentao to solve the problem smoothly!" Sun Shuo said with a gloomy face.

Hearing this, the mayor narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Well, this is a good idea. But you must be careful and cautious, and don't reveal your true identity."

Sun Shuo quickly responded, "Don't worry, Mayor! I heard that Wentao not only successfully secured 200 million yuan in funding from the provincial government, but also reportedly secured many high-quality poverty alleviation projects. As soon as he returns, those wavering factions on the Standing Committee will surely sway to his side. After all, he's the upright leader. If that happens, our future will likely become even more difficult!"
