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

“Secretary Jiang, this matter has little to do with me. It’s not fair for you to dismiss me. I’m not satisfied.”

Zhang Xiangsheng said unwillingly.

"Not a big deal?"

Jiang Yiming sneered, "Don't you know how much money these illegal mining boats pay you every year so that your Environmental Protection Bureau won't investigate their river pollution problems?"

"I didn't go into such detail to save face for you. Go back and think about how to confess to the organization to reduce your punishment!"

As soon as Jiang Yiming finished speaking, Zhang Xiangsheng's face turned ashen, and his legs trembled. If the staff behind him hadn't caught him quickly, he would have fallen to the ground.

As Zhang Xiangsheng was also carried away, everyone present was soaked with sweat.

Jiang Yiming's ruthless methods put them under immense pressure.

However, Jiang Yiming did not lose his temper again; a leader must always remain calm.

You shouldn't show too much of your emotions, otherwise your subordinates will feel a lot of pressure.

One of the main reasons for dealing with Zhang Xiangsheng today is that Zhang Xiangsheng is not only not his man, but also disobedient and doesn't respect him.

Such a subordinate must be replaced, otherwise the tasks he assigns will not be implemented.

“Secretary Tang, your township also bears some responsibility for the illegal sand mining. I will not pursue this matter this time, but if it recurs, I will definitely deal with you.”

Jiang Yiming said calmly.

Two bureau chiefs have already been dealt with today. Expanding the scope of the crackdown will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will also easily provoke dissatisfaction and resistance from other cadres.

"Yes, yes, Secretary, rest assured, our Liji Township will definitely increase patrols, cooperate with relevant departments, and severely crack down on illegal sand mining to ensure that such activities never happen again."

Tang Jian was sweating profusely; the dismissal of the two bureau chiefs had put immense psychological pressure on him.

"In addition, you must strengthen the management of the theft of cattle. These are all related to people's livelihood and must be dealt with in a timely manner so that the people can feel that the government cares about them."

"Don't worry, Secretary. When I get back, I will formulate relevant measures to strictly guard against and resolutely prevent the theft of cattle."

Tang Jian reiterated his stance.

"What do you mean by 'prevent'? If we could really prevent it, the problem would have been solved long ago."

Jiang Yiming frowned and said, "Don't make promises you can't keep. What I want is for people to do things practically and honestly. Even if problems arise, I won't say anything, rather than just talking a good game and then doing nothing."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Tang Jian responded repeatedly.

Jiang Yiming was too lazy to say anything more. He guessed that Tang Jian was in a state of high tension, and no matter how much he said, the other party would just agree verbally.

Seeing Jiang Yiming leave, Tang Jian breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was more than ten years older than Jiang Yiming, yet he was being scolded like a grandson in front of him, and he felt a mix of emotions.

Jiang Yiming's car was in front, and Wan Wenbing and the others, who had finished dealing with their business, followed behind in their car.

Upon reaching a low-lying, uneven section of road, a Jinbei minivan slipped and couldn't climb up.

The person behind tried to push the cart hard, but couldn't get it up the hill.

"Brother Ding, stop."

Jiang Yiming told Ding Li to stop and then went over to help push the car.

Chen Wei and Ding Li hurriedly followed.

The man wearing a baseball cap was very grateful to see someone come over to help push the cart. He took out some cigarettes and offered them to the men, saying, "Thank you so much, brothers. Have a smoke first."

"We don't smoke."

Jiang Yiming shook his head and smiled, "This truck looks quite heavy, it must be carrying a lot of cargo, right?"

"Yes, it's all grain that's being transported."

The man in the baseball cap smiled and said, "Thank you all for your help."

Just as the group was about to push the cart, Wan Wenbing and his group also got off.

After all, since Jiang Yiming got out to push the car, they would definitely come over to help.

"Hey folks, move over a bit, let's push together."

"Thank you... Mom..."

Upon seeing Wan Wenbing in uniform, the man in the baseball cap turned and ran before he could finish speaking.

Wan Wenbing paused for a moment, then growled, "This guy's got a problem! Xiao Sun, stay here and protect the secretary. Xiao Li, come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot, and a policeman quickly gave chase.

As soon as the people in the Jinbei van saw the police, they opened the doors and rushed into the woods.

"Brother Ding, take him down."

"it is good!"

Ding Li suddenly rushed forward and, within minutes, kicked the fleeing driver to the ground.

They then grabbed his arm and brought him back.

"Why are you running?"

Jiang Yiming asked, "What are you carrying in your car?"

"This……"

The man stammered and couldn't speak.

"Xiao Sun, open the car door and see what's inside."

"Yes, Secretary!"

Xiao Sun quickly stepped forward and opened the trunk, where two yellow oxen came into view.

Jiang Yiming instantly realized that he had encountered cattle thieves!

No wonder the car is so heavy!

"Were these two cows stolen?"

Jiang Yiming questioned the driver.

"We are only responsible for taking the cattle out to be slaughtered and sold, not for stealing them."

The driver stammered.

"Do you have other accomplices?"

Jiang Yiming's eyes lit up; it seemed he had made quite a haul today.

The driver then realized what was happening and stopped talking.

"Do you think you can get away with this by not talking?"

Jiang Yiming sneered, "Stealing oxen is a serious crime, not to mention that these two oxen are quite valuable. You'll be in jail for at least three to five years. Whoever speaks first between you and the other person will get credit and will get to serve less time."

Just as the driver was about to speak, Jiang Yiming shook his head and said, "You don't need to say anything. Your companion has already been caught and brought back. I guess your companion has already confessed. There's no point in you saying anything more."

"Xiao Sun, call the Liji Township Police Station to send a car to assist you."

"Okay, Secretary."

Xiao Sun immediately went to carry it out.

A moment later, Wan Wenbing returned with the man.

"Secretary, this man has confessed that they are a gang that steals cattle, and these two are responsible for transportation."

Wan Wenbing reported: "This guy confessed that the stolen cattle were transported in vans. One person would lead the cattle while another would gently tap them with a branch from behind, and the cattle would get on the van. A van could carry two cattle, and the profit was very high."

"From now on, our investigation will mainly focus on suspicious vans."

"The van driver also confessed, and there were two cows in the van."

Jiang Yiming instructed, "Immediately arrange for people to interrogate those two. Before the other thieves can react, find out about the other members. Organize the police force to apprehend them all!"

"The recovered stolen funds will be used to compensate the farmers who were robbed, so that they can buy new oxen and avoid affecting agricultural production."

“If you do this well, it will be a great deed, and I will commend you at the conference.”

"Don't worry, Secretary, I'll handle this personally!"

"You need to balance work and rest. You all worked hard all night last night. Let others handle this matter. You just need to supervise."

Jiang Yiming patted Wan Wenbing on the shoulder and said, "Health is the foundation of everything. You should rest when you need to!"

"Yes, Secretary, I'll arrange for someone else to handle it."

Jiang Yiming left in a good mood.

Today, we not only dealt with two incompetent bureau chiefs, but also found the gang that was stealing cattle. If we can catch the entire gang in one fell swoop, that would be a great achievement.
