All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

After leaving Zhou Yongcheng's office, Wu Longjiang first put several packets of tea into the office, and then asked his secretary to arrange a car.

Arriving at the municipal government building by car, Wu Longjiang went to Kong Dexiang's office. Kong Dexiang was one of the main leaders of Tonghuai City, and Wu Longjiang was also the most familiar with him. Whenever the research center had any issues, they would go to him.

"Director Wu is a rare guest."

Upon seeing Wu Longjiang arrive, Kong Dexiang quickly got up to greet him.

Wu Longjiang had been in Tonghuai for over a year, and Kong Dexiang only knew that Wu Longjiang was sent down from Yanjing. He knew nothing about what Wu Longjiang actually did. Later, when the research center was built and Wu Longjiang took charge of it, Kong Dexiang learned a tiny bit about the matter, but only superficially.

The research center was at a very high level, and he knew nothing about its specifics. He only knew that it was a state-owned enterprise and that it was guarded by military personnel.

I heard that because of the research center in Tonghuai City, the military region's level has been directly upgraded to the same level as the provincial military region, something Kong Dexiang never dared to dream of.

"I need to trouble Mayor Kong with something," Wu Longjiang said with a smile.

"Director Wu, you're too kind. If there's anything you need, your secretary can just make a phone call. Why did you have to come all the way here?"

Kong Dexiang poured Wu Longjiang a glass of water, and the two sat on the sofa and started chatting.

"This is a very important matter; it was assigned by the leadership, so we must take it seriously."

Upon hearing this, Kong Dexiang was startled. Wu Longjiang's superior must be a higher-up; it seemed that things were indeed not simple.

"Director Wu, please go ahead."

"There are two people in the city who have a classmate who has connections that go directly to higher levels. However, they don't know that the two of them have been in the system for seven or eight years without being promoted and have remained as clerks. When their classmate found out, he spoke to the leader. The leader listened and said something like, 'They have the ability, but why haven't they been promoted for so many years? Is it because they lack ability? Or is there some other reason?' The leader also knows that there are certain rules in officialdom and didn't interfere too much. If the leader had intervened, the Tonghuai officialdom would have faced a disaster."

Upon hearing this, Kong Dexiang broke out in a cold sweat, despite the chill in the air.

"Please give me the information about those two people, Director Wu, and I will make sure to arrange things properly," Kong Dexiang said.

"Don't go too far. Just give them a promotion based on their job position and abilities, and then take care of them to make sure they are not treated unfairly. The research center and the materials factory in Tonghuai are closely related to their classmate. That's all I have to say, I can't say any more."

No wonder, logically speaking, an institution like a research center shouldn't exist in such a remote city. It turns out there's a reason behind everything.

The research center has only been operating for a short time, yet the city government has already received tens of billions of dollars in taxes from it. This shows that the research center is a veritable money-sucking behemoth. There's also a materials factory next to the research center, where military vehicles and trucks are said to come to pick up a mysterious material. Once the materials factory files its taxes, the city government will receive another considerable sum of tax revenue.

"Don't worry, Director Wu, I know what to do."

Wu Longjiang took out his phone and gave Ding Ying and Lei Cheng's identity information to Kong Dexiang.

Kong Dexiang opened his phone and saw that one of them was a staff member in a unit under the district government, and the other was a physical education teacher at the ethnic center. This was easy to arrange.

"Although Tonghuai is only a prefecture-level city, it has huge development potential. So Mayor Kong, while developing the economy, you should not slack off on governance. There are leaders above who are paying close attention to this area. Don't let it be too late when an investigation team comes down from above."

"Thank you for your frankness, Director Wu. I will definitely make some changes to our municipal government. It's just that the person in charge of the municipal party committee is a bit too domineering. Recently, he has taken a lot of money from the municipal finance department. I don't know what he's going to do with it. I originally wanted to re-plan the Huanbei area, repair the roads, and widen them a bit, but who knew that he took the money away. I can't do anything about it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Longjiang realized that this guy wanted to bring down that municipal party committee member, and that's why he was saying these things to him.

Wu Longjiang took out his phone, thought for a moment, and opened the software to contact Hong Hou. He explained the matter to Hong Hou, wanting to see if she would help him investigate that person in the municipal party committee.

I didn't expect to receive a bunch of messages on my phone right after I sent the message.

Upon opening the link, I was shocked to discover that the municipal party committee official was a complete bloodsucker. He used municipal funds to support so-called high-tech companies, which was essentially a disguised way of making money. He did this all the time, and a lot of money coming from the province was swallowed up through his operations. Even the aid funds had to go through his hands, and each time the aid funds passed through his hands, one-tenth of them would be gone.

The message also contained many recordings, but Wu Longjiang did not listen to them, since he was in Kong Dexiang's office.

The Red Queen not only sent over the evidence of the mistakes made by the municipal party committee member, but also evidence of mistakes made by everyone associated with him. Among those associated was a provincial leader, one of the top three leaders in the province. Wu Longjiang exclaimed, "Wow!"

Looking at the messages one by one, Wu Longjiang witnessed the power of artificial intelligence. As long as you leave a trace online, it will be able to figure out the whole story clearly based on that trace, unless you don't go through the internet.

Let's leave this matter to the higher-ups; he can't handle it anyway. If Kong Dexiang hadn't mentioned the municipal party committee, he wouldn't have let the Red Army investigate. He never expected things to turn out this way.

"Director Wu?" Kong Dexiang saw that Wu Longjiang was looking at his phone and not speaking, so he assumed that Wu Longjiang was annoyed by what he was saying. He also wanted to use Wu Longjiang to report the situation in Tonghuai City to his superiors.

For years, the economy of Tonghuai City has just not been able to improve. Whenever the city's finances are in good hands, the municipal party secretary says that the money should be used to help enterprises. Only when enterprises develop will the economy of Tonghuai City improve.

"Mayor Kong, I will report this issue to my superiors. If you have no further questions, we should be able to proceed further."

Based on the information given by the Red Queen, Kong Dexiang was not in cahoots with him, but it's unclear whether Kong Dexiang himself is on a different side.

Kong Dexiang was startled upon hearing this. Could it be that Wu Longjiang was planning to report the situation in Tonghuai?

Wu Longjiang and Kong Dexiang chatted for a few minutes before Wu left.

After Wu Longjiang left, Kong Dexiang finished processing the documents and thought about how to arrange things for Ding Ying and Lei Cheng.

Ding Ying graduated from a prestigious university and immediately got a job in a unit in the lower district. I can arrange for him to be my secretary. If he is really capable, I can send him down to the lower district to get some experience. He has a classmate with connections. If he is capable, he will probably reach my position in a few years. Then I can also benefit from his success. Hmm, let's do it this way.

As for Lei Cheng, let him be a leader at the school and see how capable he is. If he is capable, we can make arrangements for him; if not, then we can only let him manage the students at the school.

Kong Dexiang then made a phone call to start making arrangements.
