Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

If this thorny issue is not properly answered and handled, the consequences will be disastrous - Bengang City is likely to become infamous on the international stage!

Wentao's brows also furrowed deeply.

Just as he was about to speak, Tian Xinxin, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, interrupted him without hesitation.

"Reporter Kerry, let me answer the question you raised!"

In Tian Xinxin's heart, the figure who is at the center of the storm and is constantly "attacked" by sharp questions from foreign reporters is like the irreplaceable "Prince Charming" in her mind.

How could she remain silent when she saw the person she loved being "beaten" so severely?

"These unqualified mines are caused by certain leaders approving them in violation of regulations. This has nothing to do with our Bengang City! Our Bengang City has been making every effort to maintain safe production in the mining industry from the beginning to the end. The question you are raising now is far beyond the scope of what our Bengang City can answer!" Tian Xinxin spoke quickly but clearly, and her words were sincere and a little anxious.

In her opinion, this answer was absolutely flawless and perfect!

If Secretary Wentao had answered the question in person, perhaps this issue would have been elevated to a higher level for discussion!

Thinking of this, Tian Xinxin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time silently prayed in her heart that she could pass the test smoothly this time.

After hearing what Tian Xinxin said, Kerry snorted coldly, then said with disdain, "Oh? I see! Now I finally understand what this so-called leader meant! Is this leader trying to imply that there is a serious corruption problem within our great Chinese system? And based on this leader's response, can we infer that those heartbreaking accidents were caused by certain corrupt government officials?"

At this time, Li Kairui was like a cunning fox, tightly grasping the insignificant little braid in Tian Xinxin's words, and mercilessly launched round after round of crazy and fierce questioning.

Faced with this situation, Tian Xinxin was only thinking about protecting the man called "Prince" and never expected that the foreign reporter in front of her would be so insidious and cruel.

It was precisely because of her impulsive remarks that the entire Hong Kong Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were directly pushed into the raging fire, putting them in an extremely embarrassing and passive situation.

It was not until this moment that Tian Xinxin realized, as if waking from a dream, that what she said just now was really not well thought out and was completely out of line!

You know, as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, every word she says is equivalent to speaking on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government of Hong Kong.

However, now, she has given others a handle to attack and accuse her because of her rash words that she spoke without thinking!

There was indescribable panic in Tian Xinxin's eyes, and she looked at Wentao for help for a moment. Wentao put his right hand under the table and made a reassuring gesture.

Although Kerry looks like a tiger, our comrade Wentao is not made of clay!

You're playing this with me, with all the knowledge you brought back from twenty years ago?

Wen Tao organized his words and slowly began, "Reporter Kerry, the spear and the shield are products of coexistence. Corruption is unavoidable in every country! Even in your country, despite advocating for 'high salaries to fight corruption' and using a range of political tactics, corruption is still a problem today. Therefore, it is meaningless for us to discuss whether there is an anti-corruption problem here! There is an old saying in China: 'In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds! No one is perfect, and so the systems conceived by humans are also imperfect!'"

"Secretary Wentao, if it happened in our beautiful country, even if an accident occurred, there would be no such concealment. This incident fully demonstrates the backwardness of China's management system. The loopholes in the supervision of your Bengang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, as well as the corruption of officials are very bad!" Li Kairui said with some pride.

"Reporter Kerry, I strongly disagree with your point of view! China and the United States are two countries with different national conditions. We are a developing country, and our rule of law and system are gradually improving. Your remarks are a bit too arbitrary!" Wen Tao said.

"Haha! You politicians only know how to avoid problems and deflect them! Isn't human life the most important thing in your developing countries? Isn't there an old Chinese saying that human life is more important than anything else? Ruguo, when you say that, do you, like India, have people divided into upper and lower classes?"

"Reporter Kerry, if you say so, I have to ask you for advice! Doesn't what you call 'human life is above everything else' not apply to the United States? In recent years, you have been launching crazy wars in the central region to gain huge profits, causing countless families to be separated and lives to be lost every year. Is this what you call putting human life first?" Wen Tao said.
