After traveling through time, I, as a mechanical genius, am dedicated to improving myself.

After drinking tea, they went down the mountain separately.

It was a little late when they got back. Chi Xilu looked at Zeng Li several times but didn't ask any questions.

When I went to pick her up, I found out Zeng Li had eaten lunch and left. No one knew where she went. It was already nine o'clock, and it had been so long...

Without bringing anyone.

I called my father in the evening and asked if there were any important people on a business trip to Province G.

Chi Guoxiang blurted out: "Qian Shuyu."

I checked Qian Shuyu's schedule overnight and found out that he had disappeared for the entire afternoon. In addition, Wuhongshan was the one who arranged for the two of them to meet last time. Now I can be sure that Qian Shuyu is Zeng Li's man.

Zeng Li didn't stay in the study for too long tonight and went to bed early.

At four o'clock in the morning, Zhaocai called softly, "Mom."

Zeng Li frowned and half-closed her eyes: "You'd better be okay."

"The Ji family sent someone to kill Xia Chuan, hoping to teach Mom a lesson and give her a warning. Do you want to save her?"

"Am I so easy to teach?"

Zhaocai understood: "Then mommy go to sleep, Zhaocai go to save people."

The next day, there was no news of Xia Chuan's death, but Huang Gang was promoted.

I called Zeng Li specifically.

"Zeng Li, how did you do it? You're in G Province, doing so many things, and you still have time to think about me going to M City? I thought you forgot about it."

In fact, when Zeng Li didn't pay the balance, she was worried that it would implicate Huang Gang's second aunt, after all, she was the one who pulled the strings.

"Please thank Ms. Yuanci for me. I have prepared a gift for her. She will probably like it."

Huang Gang's first reaction was, "My aunt has the final say in the newspaper from now on?"

Zeng Li acquiesced and talked about another matter: "The boss knows you are my person, there is no need to hide it."

Huang Gang was even more shocked. What kind of talent does this take? He even gave himself a promotion like that? He didn't even teach him a lesson behind the scenes...

"Leader, I won't disturb your rest then."

His attitude changed really quickly, quite reasonable.

Zeng Li hung up the phone and Xiao Tianer knocked on the door.

"Leader, Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department, Chen Hong, wants to see you."

Ironically, from a high-level perspective, there is only one woman in the entire G Province, and looking at the whole country... there are not many either.

However, in less important departments, especially deputy ministries, there are occasionally a few women, but they have no say.

"Let her in."

Chen Hong looked very capable in her work attire and her voice was loud but not harsh.

"Minister Zeng."

Zeng Li nodded, quite amiable: "Sit down."

After saying that, he lowered his head and pretended to be busy.

Seeing that Zeng Li didn't ask what was going on and didn't look at her, Chen Hong pinched the corner of her clothes and mustered up the courage to tell her purpose.

"Minister Zeng, why did you stop the work of our Propaganda Department? It's a bit... sudden."

Zeng Li still didn't look at her.

"We'll wait until Province G can provide a safe and friendly tourism environment for everyone before promoting it."

Chen Hong didn't expect it was because of this.

"We have so many people in our department to support. There's never been much work to do. Now we're completely idle. So many people are staring at each other all day? This..."

Zeng Li looked up.

The investigation of the center forward was correct. People like Chen Hong were tailor-made for the complaints department.

If he didn't want to get a bad reputation, he should follow Chen Hong's words and put the blame on her, letting her be the bad guy to the end.

He glanced at the door that wasn't closed tightly and sighed.

Suddenly he slammed the table, the sound even louder than Chen Hong's.

"Only one-third of the people in your department will stay, and the rest will go to the complaints department. This will apply not only to you, but also to other idle departments."

"It's clear that a department doesn't need that many people, but when you check with people with the same surname, 90% of them are relatives. Some positions even appear out of nowhere. How can that be justified?"

"One person spends a whole day, sometimes even a week, working on a small task. Is that reasonable?"

At first, the slamming of the table was too sudden and frightened. At this time, Chen Hong subconsciously refuted: "Minister Zeng, the complaints department is also an idle department."

Zeng Li could hardly continue acting.

He touched his right hand which was hurting from the fight.

"I have opened online and offline complaint channels and will verify and handle the case promptly. This will be publicized on local TV tonight and on the front page of tomorrow's newspapers."

"If people complain about being lazy and not working, we let the higher level handle it. If there's no action taken after the complaint, we let the higher level handle it again. Supervision goes down one level at a time."

"From small matters like a tree blocking the sun from a residential building to problems with the scales at the vegetable market, we can file a complaint and they will handle the matter based on the actual situation. We can even file a complaint directly with law enforcement officers. If we can't figure out which department to contact regarding our issue, we can call them."

Zeng Li has always believed that if a city wants to become better, retain people, and improve the lives of its citizens, it should listen more to the opinions of people living in the city, especially the low-level workers.

Because the middle and upper classes can make money, they only need good policies, a good entrepreneurial environment, and no corrupt officials, and they can stay for various reasons.

Chen Hong clenched her right fist and tapped it against her left. "This is a very good decision," she said. "Migrant workers may choose to stay and continue their hard work in our city because the markets are clean, their rentals have access to sunlight, they have someone to handle their complaints if they encounter injustice, they get four days off a month, and they don't have to worry about public security."

The more I talked, the more excited I became.

"Minister Zeng, can I go to the complaints department?"

"What will you do there? Do you want to keep your title as Deputy Minister of Propaganda?"

Zeng Li waited for Chen Hong's answer.

Chen Hong calmed down a little, and the excitement in her eyes disappeared visibly.

He put his hands down and stood quietly by the side for a moment. “I’ll obey the organization’s arrangements. I still want to go to the complaints department.”

Zeng Li stood up and walked over, extending her hand: "Then go and become the minister."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong excitedly shook Zeng Li's hand and said, "Thank you, leader."

When I wanted to let go, Zeng Li didn't let go.

"It's just... I hope that leaders who solve problems for the people can deal with conflicts at home."

Chen Hong's hands lost strength instantly. It turned out that... Zeng Li had investigated her.
