Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

Sima Bo slowly walked into the spacious and bright office. The sunlight shone through the window onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

However, before he could enjoy this peaceful moment, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the peace.

The secretary rushed into the office, barely taking a breath before speaking, "Secretary Sima, I have an important report. Last night, Governor Ou was summoned by the inspection team... and according to reliable sources, Governor Ou has personally admitted to violating laws and disciplines..."

Sima Bo was originally about to pick up the steaming cup of tea on the table and take a sip, but when he heard this, his hands froze instantly, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain came from his heart, causing him to frown.

After a long while, he nodded stiffly and motioned his secretary to leave first.

After the secretary quietly closed the door and left, Sima Bo slumped down in the comfortable office chair as if all his strength had been drained away.

He reached out his hand tremblingly, took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it. In the smoke, he stared quietly at the scenery outside the window, lost in deep thought.

The news that the Governor of Ou had fallen was like a thunderclap in his heart.

But if you think about it carefully, this may not be a bad thing for him.

After all, he knew clearly in his mind that in a place with a complex political structure like Liaoan Province, if the governor fell, he, as the secretary, would be able to better control the situation.

Even if Ou Guo has solid evidence of violations of laws and regulations, the capital will never let the secretary be dismissed easily for the sake of overall stability.

Because if something happens to him, the political ecology of the entire Liaoan Province will suffer a severe blow, triggering a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

Judging from the current situation, Sima Bo thought to himself that he was still safe for the time being.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep breath of smoke, and then slowly exhaled, watching the white smoke gradually dissipate in the air.

In the short time that seemed only as long as it took to burn a cigarette, Sima Bo slowly took out his rarely used personal mobile phone from his pocket.

His fingers pressed the dial button with a little hesitation. Sima Bo took a deep breath and waited for the other party to answer.

When I heard a familiar yet slightly surprised voice from the other end of the phone - "Hello, Secretary Sima!"

Wen Tao on the other end of the phone obviously did not expect to receive a call from Sima Bo himself, so there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

You know, although Wen Tao once served as the secretary-general of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, he did not have much intersection with Sima Bo in their daily work.

So at this moment Wen Tao was thinking in his heart: Sima Bo's sudden call was probably to test the waters!

Before Wen Tao could think any further, Sima Bo spoke straight to the point, "Team Leader Wen Tao, as soon as I arrived at the office this morning, I received a notification regarding Comrade Ou Guo's suspected corruption. As the leader of the Liao'an Provincial Party Committee, I am deeply saddened by this! Just now, our Provincial Party Committee leadership team held an emergency meeting to discuss how to eliminate the negative influence and harmful behavior left behind by Ou Guo during his tenure. We are determined to cooperate resolutely with your inspection team in carrying out all related work!"

Sima Bo's words were so firm and powerful that Wen Tao had a false impression of how much he valued the matter and his determination to solve the problem.

"Secretary Sima is moving so quickly!" Wen Tao's slightly teasing voice came from the other end of the phone, and one could almost see a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sima Bo keenly caught the smile in Wen Tao's words. Not only that, there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in that smile.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, but he quickly adjusted his mood and regained his composure.

After a brief pause, Sima Bo continued calmly, "Team Leader Wentao, are you free today? Our Liao'an Provincial Party Committee would like to make a special trip to visit your inspection team."

At this point, Sima Bo finally revealed the true intention of this call.

On the other side, Wen Tao was obviously a little surprised. He originally thought that Sima Bo called to test the waters and find out the progress of the Ou Guo case.

However, at this moment, it seems that the fate of the European country is irrelevant to Sima Bo.

Sima Bo's recent request for a visit made Wen Tao feel more and more that the other party's move was more like an attempt to make peace with him.

Whatever he can think of, Sima Bo can also think of!

I guess Sima Bo was thinking that since Liaoan Province had already lost a governor, there would definitely not be another provincial party secretary falling!

Wen Tao has been secretly wondering these days whether the capital will allow the two main leaders of a province to fall at the same time...

However, regardless of whether the capital allows the two main leaders to fall or not, it is impossible for Sima Bo to seek peace!

"I'm sorry, Secretary Sima, the inspection team has just started its work, and there are still a lot of clues waiting to be sorted out. I really don't have the time!" Wen Tao said.

The meaning of this sentence is very clear. If you want to make peace, then just make peace?

That depends on whether I am willing or not!

When Sima Bo heard Wen Tao's words, he was immediately furious!

He is an alternate member of the capital, acting secretary of the Liaoan Provincial Party Committee, and a high-ranking official. Does he still need to look at the mood of a young boy like you?

But even though he was angry, he didn't dare show it at all. He forced himself to laugh heartily on the other end of the phone and said, "I'm so abrupt! Considering everything, let's make an appointment for another day..."

Before Sima Bo could finish his words, Wen Tao hung up the phone.

Sima Bo became even more annoyed when he heard the beeping sound coming from the phone!

But after calming down and thinking about it, he realized that now was not the time to fall out with Wentao. As long as he kept a low profile, the inspection team would not pay attention to him. The European country alone was enough for them to get involved.
