Absolute power in officialdom

Wu Zhiyuan tried to calm himself down: "Section Chief Wang, none of the employees at Qinglongshan Forest Farm are civil servants. Why were I exiled there?"

Wang Meili's voice suddenly rose: "Wu Zhiyuan, watch your words! What do you mean by 'exile'?"

This personnel reshuffle was decided after collective discussion by the municipal bureau's leadership. Do you think the bureau made a mistake in its decision, or do you feel superior and unworthy of the position of forest ranger?

Wang Meili softened her tone and continued, "Although Qingming Festival has passed, forest fires continue to occur throughout the city. Qinglongshan Forest Farm is a state-owned forest farm directly under the municipal bureau, and the forest fire prevention situation is extremely serious."

"You work in the forest fire prevention section, wouldn't you be the most suitable person to be sent there?"

Before Wu Zhiyuan could speak in his defense, Wang Meili interrupted him: "I am speaking to you on behalf of the Municipal Bureau Party Committee! Don't try to bargain!"

According to the Civil Servant Law, those who are incompetent in their current position and refuse to accept other arrangements will be dismissed.

Wu Zhiyuan suppressed his anger and questioned, "Section Chief Wang, on what basis do you say I am not competent for my job?"

During my time working in the municipal bureau office, I received the title of Advanced Individual in Publicity Work in the province and published dozens of news reports and four theoretical research articles.

During my time working in the Forest Fire Prevention Section, I comprehensively reviewed data from forest fire monitoring points throughout the city, promptly identified numerous potential fire hazards, and participated in the compilation of the "Forest Fire Prevention Practical Training Materials." Which task did I fail to perform well?

Wang Meili revealed a mocking smile: "Wu Zhiyuan, have you forgotten what happened at the city's forestry work conference a while ago?"

You even managed to make a mistake in binding Director Gan's speech, causing him to embarrass himself in front of over a hundred people. Is that what you call being competent at your job?

Wu Zhiyuan said angrily, "This is a frame-up! I not only marked the page numbers, but I also checked them repeatedly. Someone played a trick to switch the pages!"

Wang Meili was furious: "Don't make subjective assumptions! It's inevitable to make mistakes, but after making a mistake, you should sincerely admit it and correct it, instead of shirking responsibility and spreading rumors!"

Don't assume everyone is a bad person or that everyone is targeting you! Do you think you deserve to be targeted?

Now, you only have two paths in front of you. One path is to obediently report to Qinglongshan Forest Farm tomorrow!

There's another option: resign voluntarily and pack your bags!

Wang Meili is beautiful, but she's a scheming woman!

Some time ago, the Municipal Bureau selected a group of deputy section-level leading cadres.

According to the implementation plan, each department will nominate one candidate, and then go through the process of democratic evaluation, party group voting, investigation, and public announcement.

Wu Zhiyuan has worked diligently over the past few years and has received numerous awards for outstanding individual and civil servant, making him a strong candidate for promotion to deputy section chief.

However, a mistake occurred at the crucial moment.

At that time, the city held a citywide forestry work conference.

Wang Meili and Wu Zhiyuan, who both worked in the municipal bureau's office, were responsible for the meeting preparations.

Gan Simiao's work report speech was naturally written by the talented Wu Zhiyuan, and it was several thousand words long.

When Gan Simiao gave her report, she read it verbatim without referring to the notes beforehand.

However, as Gan Simiao read on, she suddenly realized something was wrong; the text didn't connect properly.

Apart from the first page, the other dozen or so pages of the manuscript were bound incorrectly and lacked page numbers.

The attendees whispered among themselves.

Wu Zhiyuan panicked. He had clearly marked the page numbers on the manuscript and checked it repeatedly. How could there have been a mistake?

At this moment, Wang Meili walked up to the podium and handed Gan Simiao the bound speech manuscript, helping him out of the predicament.

After the meeting, Gan Simiao flew into a rage, saying that someone had deliberately made him look foolish.

Not long after, Wu Zhiyuan was transferred from the Municipal Bureau Office to the Forest Fire Prevention Section.

The candidate for deputy section chief was Wang Meili, not Wu Zhiyuan.

Some say that during the selection of section-level cadres, one night Gan Simiao was working overtime in his office when Wang Meili sneaked into his office and then closed the door.

Whether the rumors are true or not is unknown, but Gan Simiao is notorious for her womanizing.

He has a nickname, "Gan the Four-Second".

There are several versions of this nickname.

One explanation is that it's a homophone of the name "Gansimiao".

Another version of the story says that a few years ago, when provincial and municipal leaders came to conduct research, Gan Simiao was extremely nervous. When she spoke, she stammered "I, I, I, I" for four seconds without being able to say anything coherent.

Another version of the story is that he was impotent and short-lived in bed, yet he still had a strong liking for sex.

Looking at the beautiful yet scheming Wang Meili in front of him, whose words were sharp and cutting, Wu Zhiyuan really wanted to fight to the death!

But reason ultimately prevailed over impulse.

A true man's revenge is never too late, even after ten years!

One day, I will make you kneel before me!

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Wu Zhiyuan had no choice but to obediently report to Qinglongshan Forest Farm.

His sudden exile was undoubtedly partly due to Su Taohong's influence.

This woman is so vicious!

Wu Zhiyuan was blind back then. There were plenty of girls pursuing him and many people introducing him to potential partners, but he chose Su Taohong.

Ultimately, he couldn't resist the allure of beautiful women.

Qinglongshan Forest Farm is located on the outskirts of Longcheng City. It is not in a remote location, and the provincial highway is nearby.

Thank goodness, this is the only forest farm under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Forestry Bureau.

Otherwise, Wu Zhiyuan would most likely be exiled to the deep mountains and forests.

The Qinglongshan Forest Farm covers more than 30,000 mu, has 15 full-time employees, and more than 20 temporary workers.

Old Huang, the farm manager, was a dark-skinned middle-aged man who didn't talk much. He wasn't particularly enthusiastic or indifferent towards Wu Zhiyuan, and he simply arranged for him to watch the surveillance footage in a businesslike manner.

The monitoring room is small, and all the equipment is newly purchased. There are more than a dozen screens on one wall, displaying real-time images of the main entrances and exits of the forest farm, the highest points in the forest area, and some key fire prevention areas.

Spring evenings come early; it gets dark around 5 p.m.

With the Qingming Festival over, no villagers went up the mountain to worship their ancestors and burn paper money, so the fire prevention pressure was not actually that great.

A black sedan with a Jiangzhou license plate drove into the forest area from the west side of the forest farm.

He wondered why there would be out-of-town vehicles coming to the forest area at this time.

Moreover, this road leads deep into the forest, where there are no tourist attractions or farmhouses, and almost no one goes there normally.

Did the car owner get lost while enjoying the spring scenery?

The car was parked in the woods, which happened to be within the coverage area of ​​a surveillance camera.

Soon after, the car in the video began to shake rhythmically, with the amplitude increasing.

Wu Zhiyuan instantly understood—someone was having sex in a car, these city folks really know how to have fun!

It was getting dark, and there was no one around.

To his surprise, the car door suddenly opened, and a man and a woman got out of the car one after the other, both of them completely naked.
