Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

However, what is even more shocking is yet to come.

According to the confession of the "thief", the victim's home actually contained an astonishing number of gold bars, huge amounts of cash, and precious calligraphy and paintings, but due to time constraints, he did not have enough time to steal all of these valuables.

Once this news came out, it was like a blockbuster bomb dropped into the system of Bengang City, instantly causing a huge uproar.

For a time, it became a hot topic of conversation within the Bengang City system, and the stolen house located near the city civil servants' family compound became the focus of curiosity among comrades.

"Hey, I heard that the house that was robbed seemed to be Secretary XXX's!"

"What?! What you said is just unofficial history. What I heard was clearly Director XXX's home!"

"......"

Many people tacitly speculated which leader's family had suffered this "misfortune"?

After all, a person who can possess such a huge "family fortune" must be at least at the department level or above, or even higher!

A certain leader thought: Municipal Civil Servant Family Compound? Pingshan Branch, just give me my name!

......

At the same time, Yang Lihua, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Municipal Procuratorate, suddenly received news that the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wen Tao wanted to summon him in person.

Full of suspicion and a little uneasiness, Yang Lihua hurried to Wentao's office.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Wentao sitting at his desk with a faint smile on his face.

Secretary Sun Menglong, following Wentao's instructions, quickly changed to an exquisite "tea cup" with a unique shape and no handle, and then skillfully filled a cup of hot tea for Yang Lihua.

"Comrade Lihua, please sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up!"

Wentao stood up to greet him enthusiastically and gestured for Yang Lihua to sit on the chair opposite.

However, at this moment, Yang Lihua seemed a little cramped and nervous, with his butt just slightly touching the edge of the chair, and his sitting posture seemed quite "uneasy".

Because when he learned that he was summoned by Wen Tao, he secretly thought in his heart: Could it be that Secretary Wen Tao is here to "settle accounts" with me?

After all, the Anti-Corruption Bureau had just arrested Wen Tao's trusted general, so this summons probably wouldn't be a good thing. Perhaps they were just going to bring him to justice!

Thinking of this, Yang Lihua couldn't help but secretly make up his mind: If Wentao really wants to hold him accountable, the worst that can happen is that he will pretend to be ignorant and know nothing about anything!

Anyway, everyone knows that they are members of Sun Yiguo's faction. Even if the other party is the secretary of the municipal party committee, what can he do to them?

It's not like they'll just fire me and investigate me, right?

After taking his seat, Yang Lihua cautiously asked, "Secretary, I wonder if you summoned me today for any important instructions?"

While speaking, he never dared to look Wentao in the eye, for fear of catching a hint of dissatisfaction or anger in the other's eyes.

"It's not really instructions. I've just been here not long, so I want to get a deeper understanding of the specific work of our city's Anti-Corruption Bureau, including some important cases that have been investigated," said Wen Tao.

What was supposed to come finally came!

Yang Lihua thought to himself that he had imagined that the newly appointed secretary might come to accuse him for something, but he did not expect that this day would come so soon, and he would come to him so openly and without any concealment.

Can't Secretary Wen pay attention to the impact?

"Secretary Wentao, is it Comrade Wang Bin, Deputy Director of our Municipal Party Committee Office..." Yang Lihua was about to explain cautiously, but was interrupted decisively by Wentao.

"No, no, no, Comrade Lihua, although Comrade Wang Bin serves as the deputy director of the office of our Municipal Party Committee, everyone is equal before the law and discipline. If there is indeed a problem, it must be handled strictly in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. No personal feelings can be allowed, let alone so-called face."

"Tell me how many cases our Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau has investigated and handled this year, and what areas have they focused on?" Wen Tao asked in a serious tone, waving his hand to signal Yang Lihua not to continue making excuses for Wang Bin.

Hearing Wen Tao's righteous words, Yang Lihua couldn't help but feel stunned. Although there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, he quickly adjusted his state and began to report to the secretary in a fluent manner on the progress of various work of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

When he mentioned that he was thirsty, Yang Lihua picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and continued his report.

Seeing that Yang Lihua had already drunk the tea, Wentao pretended to flick the cigarette in his hand casually, and the ash flew into Yang Lihua's cup.

Wen Tao immediately shouted, "Menglong! Comrade Lihua's water is dirty. Come and get a change!"

"Comrade Lihua, please continue!" Wentao said with a smile.

Sun Menglong "carefully" took the teacup out and quickly replaced it with a new cup of tea.

"The Anti-Corruption Bureau has filed over 20 cases this year, involving over 100 people..."

......

"Secretary, there are still fifteen minutes until the ten o'clock meeting..."

Yang Lihua's report had not yet finished when Sun Menglong walked in and reminded him.

"Oh~ I'm sorry, Comrade Lihua, I have a meeting today and haven't finished listening to today's report. Let Menglong make an appointment and we will continue!" Wentao said pretending to be in a bad mood.

Yang Lihua was truly baffled, secretly wondering what today's report meant.

Moreover, I only reported some insignificant big data, and the highlights of my work have not yet begun!
