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

"After discussing it, they felt there was no need to escalate the matter. If we voluntarily withdrew the recruitment notice and the county discipline inspection commission handled it, it would inevitably attract wider attention and discussion, which would certainly reduce the credibility of our government."

Ding Yi said, "They suggested handling this matter quietly and providing an appropriate explanation to the public. However, this matter still needs your and Secretary Xuan Gui's approval."

"Minister Hua has already gone to work on Secretary Xuan Gui."

“Okay, I agree with their proposal in principle. Contact Minister Hua and ask him about the results. If Secretary Xuangui has no problem, then proceed in this manner.”

Zhang Yuntao said, "As for Secretary Yiming, I will handle his case."

"Thank you, County Head!"

Ding Yi quickly expressed his gratitude.

the other side.

Jiang Xuangui still values ​​Hua Wentao highly. When Hua Wentao suggested giving the situation a cold shoulder, Jiang Xuangui readily agreed.

"Minister Wentao, I understand the situation you described. I'm here to communicate with County Head Yuntao."

"Yes, Secretary. Thank you for your understanding and concern."

"You don't need to be so polite with me."

Jiang Xuangui smiled and said, "Alright, you go ahead and get busy. I'll invite County Magistrate Yuntao over and discuss this with him."

"Okay, Secretary, you're busy."

Before Zhang Yuntao received any feedback, he received a call from Jiang Xuangui, asking him to come to the other party's office.

"secretary."

Zhang Yuntao walked into the office and asked with a smile, "What instructions do you have?"

"County Chief Yuntao, you must know about the recruitment for public institutions. It has caused quite a stir. I heard that it involves Director Ding Yi of your government office. I'd like to ask you to come and discuss this with me."

Jiang Xuangui said righteously, "County Chief Yuntao, I personally feel that Ding Yi and Xia Ziyang from the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau have gone too far and must be dealt with appropriately!"

“Secretary, the two of them did go too far. I have already severely criticized Ding Yi, so let’s just let it go. Ding Yi is just doing this because he loves his daughter dearly. We are all parents, and we can understand his feelings.”

"Furthermore, once this matter is dealt with, it will inevitably attract more attention and will certainly affect the image of our Xinping County government. I implore Secretary Xuan Gui to consider my position and not pursue their responsibility this time."

“County Chief Yuntao, to be honest, Minister Wentao contacted me before you did, and he also asked me not to pursue the matter further, but I refused outright. How can we not deal with something like this?”

Jiang Xuangui sighed and said, "But since you asked me to speak up, I will definitely give you face. I will leave this matter to you to handle."

“I’ll give Jiang Yiming a call, and you can talk to him in person. I’m sure he won’t keep pressing the issue.”

"Thank you for your support, Secretary."

Zhang Yuntao cursed inwardly, "You old fox, so you wanted me to owe you a favor!"

He didn't believe that given the relationship between Hua Wentao and Jiang Xuangui, Jiang Xuangui would not accept Hua Wentao's suggestion.

After returning to his office, Zhang Yuntao called Jiang Yiming and asked him to come to his office.

Jiang Yiming then went to Zhang Yuntao's office.

"Yiming, sit down and let's talk."

Zhang Yuntao laughed and said, "I just brewed some Da Hong Pao tea. Try it and see how it is. If you like it, you can take this unopened jar home with you later."

Jiang Yiming naturally couldn't refuse such kindness, and said with a smile, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I happen to have two pounds of honey in my office, which my cousin-in-law just picked. It has the effects of protecting and nourishing the liver and relieving fatigue. I'll have Weimin bring it to you later."

He didn't want to take the other person's things for free.

Honey is a wonderful thing.

Zhang Yuntao smiled and said, "Secretary Yiming, I was just reporting to Secretary Xuan Gui in his office when Minister Wen Tao also went to report to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau about recruiting staff for public institutions. Secretary Xuan Gui asked me to stay and listen in."

"After Minister Wentao reported the situation, Secretary Xuangui and I both criticized Minister Wentao. I also called Ding Yi over and gave him a severe scolding. Ding Yi and Xia Ziyang both realized their mistakes and expressed deep regret."

"Secretary Xuan Gui and I saw that they were both sincere in their repentance. In addition, Ding Yi loves his daughter very much, and we parents can understand his feelings. Therefore, we decided not to hand this matter over to the Discipline Inspection Commission to avoid causing greater negative impact."

"Ding Yi loves his daughter dearly, but don't parents without any background love their daughters just as much? Their love for their children is no less than Ding Yi's!"

"Just because he holds an official position, does that mean he can deprive the children of ordinary migrant workers of the right to take civil service exams?"

Jiang Yiming said in a deep voice, "You said that dealing with it would cause even greater negative impacts. Have you considered that if we don't deal with it, it will cause an even greater backlash, which would then cause even greater negative impacts?"

"If you insist on protecting them, I can't change it, but I personally oppose it!"

"Comrade Yiming, why do you always go against the organization?"

Zhang Yuntao said unhappily, "What you're doing is very detrimental to team unity!"

Considering Jiang Yiming's standing in Wei Shanghua's eyes, Wei Shanghua's attitude softened considerably as he said, "Secretary Yiming, as an old acquaintance and friend, I personally hope you can avoid some detours and become more politically mature. Going against the organization will only hurt yourself. You're so young and you're already the deputy secretary of the county party committee; your career is bright. If the city leaders find out that you're too strong-willed and disobedient, it will inevitably affect your personal development."

"After all, it's difficult to tolerate cadres with strong personalities within the system, and even if there are, they won't rise to high positions. If you can temper your sharpness, your career will likely be more stable, and you'll rise faster."

"Do you remember Guan Yunshan from 'The Year of the Dragon Files'? He couldn't get promoted because he was too inflexible. Those who knew how to be flexible and assess the situation got ahead of him and became his leaders."

"So, I'm just going to blend in with the world?"

"If, when faced with injustice, I can only go with the flow and turn a blind eye, I would rather not rise in rank."

Jiang Yiming said firmly, "County Chief Yuntao, as your former classmate, I also want to give you a piece of advice: if you only talk about unity and harmony, you will lose your ideals and beliefs and organizational principles, and in the end, it will be difficult to achieve good results."

"Looks like I can't convince you again."

Zhang Yuntao shook his head in disappointment and said, "I've said everything I need to say. How to do it is up to you."

"However, I still want to remind you that if you want to deal with them, you must go through the Standing Committee. Given the current state of the Standing Committee, there will be basically no difficulties for Secretary Xuan Gui to push forward anything. Your proposal will ultimately come to nothing."

"I know that whether it succeeds or not is not something I can control, but whether I do it or not is a matter of attitude."

Jiang Yiming left Zhang Yuntao's office and then sought out Chen Xujian to discuss the matter.

Both agreed that those responsible must be held accountable.

Ultimately, the county discipline inspection commission provided its opinion on the matter and submitted it to the standing committee.

In the afternoon, the youthful and beautiful Li Muyao appeared in his office.

"Junior brother, long time no see."

Li Muyao extended her slender, delicate hand and shook hands with Jiang Yiming.

"It's been a while since we last met. Senior sister is even more beautiful than before."

Jiang Yiming offered a polite compliment.

However, he wasn't exaggerating.

Li Muyao possessed a pair of long, beautiful legs, and her jet-black, lustrous hair cascaded gently over her shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance. Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as jade.

Her features are also very delicate, and with her long, slender legs, she is naturally very eye-catching.

Li Muyao was the most free-spirited and romantic young woman Jiang Yiming knew, exuding a unique charm. She loved wearing loose-fitting cotton and linen clothing paired with simple canvas shoes, giving her a simple and natural appearance.

In her writing, words flow like a clear spring, and she uses delicate strokes to depict the details of life and her inner feelings. Her writing is full of emotion and reflection, making readers feel as if they can touch her inner world.

She has a large audience and many fans, including Jiang Yiming, who often reads her reports and articles.

Li Muyao is now the deputy director of the editorial department and a rising star of Dongjiang Daily.

"Junior brother has become even more charming, and he's better at praising women than before."

Jiang Yiming and Li Muyao didn't meet often, but they were like old friends, chatting without any awkwardness.
