Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

Hearing this, Pan Linyuan didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly responded, "Yes, Secretary! I will do my best to complete the task!"

He is also a veteran in the officialdom. At this time, the struggle between the secretary and the mayor is not yet clear, so he has to cooperate with both sides.

"Menglong, go and notify them immediately that an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee will be held in the conference room at 10 o'clock this morning. All the directors of the municipal departments must be present. This meeting will mainly be to report the detailed situation of Gangcheng County..." Secretary Wentao arranged the work tasks in an orderly manner.

"Okay, secretary!"

Sun Menglong responded, then turned and hurriedly left the office. However, just a few steps out of the door, he ran into the Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo who was walking briskly.

Sun Shuo, with a beaming smile on his face, asked enthusiastically, "Menglong, is the secretary in there right now?"

Before Sun Menglong could answer, Wen Tao, who was sitting in the office, heard Sun Shuo's voice at the door and shouted, "Deputy Mayor Sun, please come in."

After receiving the agreement, Sun Shuo strode into the office and walked straight to Wen Tao. He said sincerely, "Secretary, I came here to do a profound self-examination with you."

Wen Tao frowned slightly, looked at Sun Shuo in confusion, and slowly said: "Oh? What exactly does Deputy Mayor Sun want to review? Don't be in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly." As he said that, Wen Tao turned to look at Sun Menglong who was standing beside him, and motioned him to pour Sun Shuo a cup of tea.

Sun Shuo glanced at Sun Menglong gratefully. After taking a sip of the teacup, he continued, "Secretary, here's the thing. My family actually holds some shares in Gangcheng County's Gangcheng Mining Company... But I really had no idea about this. It was completely done behind my back by someone in my family!"

At this point, Sun Shuo's face showed an expression of heartache and helplessness.

Sun Shuo has always been closely following every move in Gangcheng County. Long before, he had asked Sun Yiguo indirectly about Wen Tao's identity and background, but Sun Yiguo cleverly avoided the topic in a subtle and obscure way.

However, when he heard that Wentao had mobilized the garrison in Bengang City to quell the large-scale mass incident, Sun Shuo could no longer remain calm and composed.

Because he knew very well that the government and the army belonged to two completely different and independent systems, and it was not easy to mobilize the garrison, especially for such a local incident.

But how did Secretary Wentao, who had just arrived, successfully dispatch the garrison?

What is even more puzzling is that even Mayor Sun, who has a strong background, failed to win the competition for the secretary position. What kind of unknown mystery does this imply?

Sun Shuo is no fool. For someone as young as Wen Tao to be able to take on the position of municipal party secretary, the power behind him must be immense and unfathomable...

Instead of waiting until the end to be the scapegoat, it is better to take the initiative to stand up and admit the mistake. Even if it means being relegated to the second line, I will admit it!

In addition, the representative of Haoyuan Mining Group has already come to the stage, and Secretary Wentao must have understood everything.

Sun Shuo knew in his heart that it was only a matter of time before the truth of all things came to light.

It's better than going to jail! However, facing this situation, Wentao remained silent, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Sun Shuo became increasingly anxious. He quickly said, "Secretary, I have asked my wife to return all of her shares in Gangcheng Mining Company, and I am willing to return all of the illegal income. Please criticize me, Secretary!"

Hearing this, Wen Tao finally raised his head, staring intently at Sun Shuo, and slowly said, "Deputy Mayor Sun, if that's the case, then tell me, besides you, who else is involved in this Gangcheng Mining Group?"

Sun Shuo hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Secretary, to be honest, the mayor of Yiguo also indirectly holds shares in Gangcheng Mining. And the mayor of Gangcheng County, Zheng Zerui, is also on the mayor's side."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tao frowned, his expression becoming serious. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying that the mayor of a country not only violated regulations by secretly holding shares, but also instructed the Gangcheng Mining Group to seek profits through improper means?"

Sun Shuo nodded and replied in a low voice: "Yes, but... Secretary, I don't have any substantial evidence at the moment."

Even Wentao was involved in the secret shareholding matter.

However, unlike others, Wentao invested every penny in an honest and aboveboard manner, all of which was earned through legal means. Moreover, he invested this money in the company of his good brother, who was like a brother to him.

Not only that, from beginning to end, Wentao never used the power in his hands to seek any improper benefits for Li Jinpeng.

However, what Sun Yiguo did was completely beyond Wentao's tolerance!

This behavior has undoubtedly crossed the untouchable red line in Wentao's heart!

"Secretary, I have one more thing to report to you. I'm getting older now, and my physical and mental condition are no longer as good as they used to be. I simply can't keep up with the energy of those young, energetic people. Therefore, I'm boldly applying to be transferred to a second-line position..."

As Sun Shuo said this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. After all, as the Executive Vice Mayor, he treasured this position like a treasure and couldn't let it go.

But, now that things had come to this, how could he dare to have any extravagant hopes? His only hope now was to survive this crisis safely and land safely...

Hearing Sun Shuo's request, Wen Tao smiled slightly, then slowly said, "Oh? Vice Mayor Sun, I have always been quite impressed with your work ability. To be honest, I was thinking of giving you some more important responsibilities and letting you shoulder more responsibilities."

At this moment, Wen Tao's mind was as clear as a mirror. Even if Sun Shuo really did step down from his current position and someone else took over, he probably wouldn't gain any substantial benefits. So, he might as well go with the flow and accept Sun Shuo's offer of "surrender."

"What the secretary means is..." Sun Shuo's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"Deputy Mayor Sun, do your best. I've been watching you all!" Wen Tao said calmly.

"Thank you, Secretary! From now on, I will become your gun, shooting wherever you point... I will devote my life to you..."
