The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

"Jiang Tao, why are you wasting so much breath talking to him!"

Jiang Yunhai pointed at Jiang Yiming, his eyes blazing with anger, and said, "Get out of here right now, I feel disgusted just looking at you."

Jiang Yiming was somewhat puzzled, but he was too lazy to explain, and the other party wouldn't believe him anyway.

“This hotel isn’t owned by you, you have no right to make me leave.”

"Although the hotel isn't owned by my family, my dad has a very good relationship with the hotel owner!"

As Jiang Tao was speaking, a woman in her fifties came out with a smile, offering cigarettes and inviting, "Please come in, leaders."

“Boss Fei, my dad doesn’t want to see this person. You should kick him out and tell him not to eat here anymore.”

Jiang Tao wanted to humiliate Jiang Yiming and tried his best to get the boss to fire him.

The female boss was a shrewd person. Seeing that Jiang Yiming was dressed in a white shirt and suit pants, and thought he looked like a cadre, she smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang, we have no right to turn away guests when they come to eat. Please bear with us. I'll arrange for you to sit a little further apart. Is that alright?"

Jiang Tao was a little angry when he saw that the boss wouldn't give him face: "Boss Fei, we often come here to eat, can't you even give us this much face?"

"Young Master Jiang, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but we're in business. If people find out that we're driving away customers for no reason, I'm afraid no one will dare to come here to eat."

The female boss knew what was important and said with a smile, "I'll give you a bottle of Wuliangye for today's meal. I hope it will help you all calm down."

Jiang Yunhai was furious when he saw that the female boss was unyielding.

But he had no better option. There were guests present today, and he couldn't very well turn around and say he wasn't going to eat there. He could only walk inside with a gloomy face.

"Don't leave in a hurry."

Jiang Yiming spoke up.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Tao said in a deep voice.

"Since you all think I've sabotaged you, then I'll just do it openly and honestly."

Jiang Yiming laughed and said, "I heard you just passed the civil service exam? Did you take it yourself?"

"Nonsense, of course I took the exam myself."

Jiang Tao's eyes darted away.

"You took the exam yourself? Then you certainly don't mind if I ask Section Chief Sun from the Cadre Supervision Section to check it out."

Jiang Yiming laughed.

Jiang Tao panicked: "Jiang Yiming, if you do this, I'll have someone kill you!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yunhai glared at his son and said, "Let them investigate. My son got the exam through his own ability. What's there to be afraid of?"

"But do you have the ability to get Sun Yujun to investigate my son's situation?"

"It's not that I look down on you, but you're just a staff member in the cadre section. Would Sun Yujun offend me for your sake? You overestimate yourself!"

"Since you're so eager to investigate, I'll grant your request."

Jiang Yiming took out his phone and called Sun Yujun. The call was answered quickly.

However, he didn't say it in front of Jiang Yunhai and the others, but walked to the side.

"Brother Jun, do you have time to go out for a drink?"

"I still have some things to take care of, and I don't know when I'll be able to finish them. You guys go ahead and get together. If I finish early, I'll head over and join you."

Jiang Yiming could easily tell that this was a polite refusal, so he played his trump card: "No rush, I'll wait for you. Call me when you're done, and I'll pick you up. It just so happens that I have Secretary Ma's car, so I can let you experience the treatment of a big leader."

Sun Yujun's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a smile, "Don't tell me that the Secretary Ma you're talking about is our top leader, Secretary Ma Qiyun?"

"You guessed right."

Jiang Yiming laughed and said, "I invited you over for drinks because I have some good news to share with you. Starting tomorrow, I will be working for Secretary Ma."

"Holy crap, Brother Jiang, you're amazing! You've quietly become the Party Secretary's chief secretary!"

Sun Yujun said, "I'll come right away. Even if it's urgent, I'll postpone it until tomorrow."

"I'll drive to pick you up..."

"no, I'm fine."

Sun Yujun repeatedly said, "Tell me the location, and I'll ride my bike there myself."

"I'm at Juyuan Hotel."

Jiang Yiming said, "By the way, while I was waiting for someone, I overheard people at the next table chatting. They said that someone named Jiang Tao cheated on the civil service exam. I wonder if that's true."

Sun Yujun was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I'll send someone to verify it immediately, and I'll get back to you with the results when they arrive."

"No rush, come and eat first."

Jiang Yiming gave the instructions and hung up the phone.

He's taking advantage of the situation!

Given his own position, it was naturally impossible for him to allow Sun Yujun to conduct an investigation.

However, since he had leveraged Ma Qiyun's influence, Sun Yujun could naturally distinguish between himself and Jiang Yunhai, who was more important.

"Jiang Yiming, stop pretending. Do you think you can get someone to investigate me just by making a phone call? You overestimate yourself."

Jiang Tao's face was full of sarcasm; he had finally figured it out.

Given his father's status, unless they were his mortal enemies, no one would risk offending him by investigating such a trivial matter.

But the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

One of the men, who was quite overweight, had his phone ring. As soon as he answered it, his expression changed.

"What? The Organization Department's Cadre Supervision Section is going to conduct a spot check on this exam?"

The portly man said in a panic, "When are they going to do the spot checks? What, they're already on their way to the office? Okay, I'll be right there."

"Director Wang, what's going on?"

Jiang Yunhai and the others sensed that something was wrong.

"The Cadre Supervision Section is on its way to the Personnel Bureau; they're going to conduct a spot check on this civil service exam!"

"what?"

Jiang Yunhai and his son were dumbfounded. They never expected that Jiang Yiming could actually command the people in the Cadre Supervision Section with just one phone call.

"Dad, what should I do?"

Jiang Tao started to panic.

"Jiang Yiming, tell them to stop right now. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Jiang Yunhai said in a deep voice, "I've been operating in Xinping County for decades, and I also have my father-in-law's connections. If you offend me, don't even think about surviving in the officialdom of Xinping County!"

"Are you overestimating your own abilities?"

Jiang Yiming didn't take it seriously.

Having lived two lives, if he couldn't even defeat a mere deputy director of the forestry bureau, how could he possibly rise to the top and fight against his high-ranking enemy?

Of course, his reason for getting rid of Jiang Tao's civil servant status was not just to vent his anger, but more importantly, to stop Jiang Tao from harming others.

In his previous life, after Jiang Tao was transferred to work in a township, he harmed many women in his unit. Not only that, he also forced many of the women's directors of the dozens of villages under his jurisdiction, as well as the beautiful widows in the villages.

If it weren't for a rural female teacher who committed suicide after being humiliated, the matter would probably still be difficult to expose.

Ultimately, as many as twenty-seven women came forward to expose him.

He had originally considered getting rid of Jiang Tao in private, but time was of the essence.

Once Jiang Tao becomes a real civil servant, taking action against him will have far-reaching implications.

Now, Jiang Tao has been found to have cheated on the exam and falsified his application materials, but he has only been disqualified from taking the civil service exam again.

Things are relatively easier to handle.
