Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

In the following days, Wentao devoted himself to a series of in-depth and comprehensive research activities.

First, he worked tirelessly to shuttle between various units in the city, walking, stopping, and turning around like a keen observer.

Wherever he went, he carefully observed the working atmosphere there and listened attentively to the conversations between his colleagues, trying to catch some clues about the official atmosphere in Bengang City.

In this way, he gradually gained a clearer understanding of the ecology of the city's officialdom.

Afterwards, Wentao rushed to various grassroots counties and cities without stopping.

Here, he is no longer just a bystander, but actively interacts with local people, walking down the streets and chatting with them, and going deep into the fields to understand the farmers' production and living conditions.

He patiently listened to the voices of the people and carefully recorded their every request and expectation. These voices from the grassroots became a valuable asset for him to accumulate experience for subsequent poverty alleviation work.

In addition to field visits, Wentao also organized and participated in several seminars with Executive Vice Mayor Sun Shuo, Municipal Propaganda Minister Tian Xinxin and other cadres.

At the meeting, everyone spoke freely and shared their views and insights on the current situation in the officialdom of Bengang City.

At this time, Sun Shuo is like a "hidden chess piece" hidden in Wentao's hand. Although it has not been exposed in the open, it may play an unexpected role at the critical moment.

Tian Xinxin had become a powerful "guardian" by Wentao's side, supporting his work wholeheartedly. The thought of harming Wentao had long since vanished.

At the same time, Wentao decisively froze the poverty alleviation funds and projects that he had obtained from the province.

He knew very well that in order to make the most effective use of these resources, he had to wait until all his team members were in place before working together to plan and carefully lay out the arrangements so that he could make a big difference in future poverty alleviation work and truly bring substantial changes and development to the impoverished areas of Bengang City.

Mazhuang Town, Zhucheng County.

Snow fluttered down from the sky, quickly covering the entire mountain. A biting cold wind howled, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

Despite these adverse weather conditions, Wentao led Sun Chenghu and a group of leading officials from Zhucheng County in a difficult climb up Xiaolu Mountain. Step by step, they finally reached the summit.

Standing on the top of the mountain, one can see the entire Zhucheng County. However, the scene before one is depressing – dilapidated houses, muddy roads, and few vehicles…

All this shows the poverty and backwardness of this county.

"Secretary Wen, Zhucheng County is well-known for its poverty! Tell me, how should we develop going forward?" Zhucheng County Party Secretary Li Jianwei was the first to break the silence. He looked at Wentao with a bewildered expression, his eyes filled with worry and anticipation.

Li Jianwei is 52 years old this year. As an experienced old secretary, he has been working tirelessly these days to follow Wentao to conduct field investigations in various towns and villages in Zhucheng County.

Through the contact and observation during this period, he deeply felt that this young municipal party secretary had extraordinary courage and determination, and was a good leader who could truly get things done.

However, faced with such a difficult development task, Li Jianwei was still full of confusion and anxiety.

Zhucheng County, unlike other counties and districts in Bengang City, is located in the easternmost part of the city, surrounded by mountains and offering extremely difficult transportation. Furthermore, due to its remote location and poor infrastructure, few companies are willing to invest and build factories there.
