Since Zhao Na was so direct, Yang Chen couldn't be bothered to continue pretending. "It seems like you've become smarter during your time as a secretary. Yes, I came here to show off. Originally, I was a prominent figure in county following the old cadre, but after marrying you, things started going downhill. I ended up on the bench, with no hope of promotion and no prospect of being promoted to a department head. But unexpectedly, just a few months after divorcing you, I was promoted to department head and even became the director of the government office."
"Originally, I thought that sitting on the bench was just my bad luck, but now it seems like I was being suppressed by someone. Zhao Na, could it be that you are the reincarnation of Comet and it's written in my fate to be suppressed by my wife?"
Yang Chen said, looking intentionally at Wang Ji.
Zhao Na was about to explode with anger, shaking Wang Ji's arm and acting coquettishly, "Wang Ji, are you just going to stand by and watch your girlfriend being humiliated and bullied?"
"Baby, you don't need to stoop to the level of someone like him who has achieved success through underhanded means. After being with you, didn't I also get promoted to Deputy Minister of the Group Department? So you are not Comet; you are my lucky goddess." Wang Ji held Zhao Na's hand, comforting her.
It seems that Zhao Na really has some skills, as she has Wang Ji wrapped around her finger. But that's understandable; before their divorce, Yang Chen was also completely obedient to Zhao Na. This woman truly has a talent for charming men.
Heh...
Yang Chen sneered and said, "Wang Ji, your lucky goddess isn't her, but secretary."
"Yang Chen, shut up, do you know what you're saying? Are you trying to slander County Party Secretary and accuse my father of abusing his power?" Wang Ji questioned with a dark expression.
Yang Chen quickly distanced himself, "I didn't say that at all. I believe Secretary Wang would never engage in such misconduct. But don't forget how County Magistrate Guo gradually descended into corruption, eventually ending up as a prisoner from being a Deputy County Magistrate."
"Yang Chen, what exactly do you want to say?"
" County Magistrate Guo ended up in this situation because he was implicated by Fei Bin, he was set up by nephew-in-law, Minister Wang should not follow in Fei Bin's footsteps, don't try to deceive your father." Yang Chen raised his eyebrows and teased.
Fei Bin is a deceitful nephew-in-law, who deceived Deputy County Magistrate Guo Tianyi. Yang Chen doesn't know Wang Ji well, so he's not sure if he's also deceitful. But being around someone like Zhao Na for a long time, even if he isn't now, he might become deceitful sooner or later.
After saying this, Yang Chen cast a contemptuous glance at Zhao Na, walked past them, and said, "Goodbye, Comet."
"Yang Chen, you jerk!" Zhao Na had her good mood ruined by Yang Chen while out shopping.
Wang Ji comforted Zhao Na, "It's not worth it to argue with such a petty and self-satisfied person."
"He's just a waste, a man I don't want anymore. Why should he succeed?" Zhao Na became more and more angry, pouting as she spoke, "Honey, go back and demote him from his position. Do it for my sake."
Wang Ji hesitated, "I also want to help you get justice, but my father and the minister have repeatedly emphasized that unity is the most important thing now, especially after the Fei Bin case. It implicated many officials, and my father doesn't want any more internal issues. Demoting a department head is not a small matter after all."
"Then you take care of my deputy position. I must climb to the top of Yang Chen as soon as possible, otherwise I will be humiliated by that useless Yang Chen when we meet."
"Don't worry, I will find a way. I will help you achieve some results and promote you out of turn."
"Thank you, husband." Zhao Na's mood improved slightly, but she didn't want to run into Yang Chen again, so she went home with Wang Ji first.
In the new week, the new session of the County People's Congress was held, and at the meeting, Tai Man was officially appointed as the county mayor of Hualin County, Zhao Changsheng was appointed as the Deputy County Magistrate, and Xu Yuan was appointed as the deputy county mayor.
After the meeting, it was publicized within the whole county range, and there were reports in newspapers and on television.
After the public announcement, the phone number published on the announcement was almost overwhelmed with calls. All of them were expressing dissatisfaction with the appointment, but they did not provide specific content to report, just purely to vent their dissatisfaction.
Wang Hongen learned about this situation and convened a special meeting to discuss it.
At the meeting, Tai Man made a speech: "The large number of people making phone calls is a way for them to vent their emotions, due to their dissatisfaction with the Fei Bin case implicating a large number of officials in corruption and bribery. To solve this problem, we must reshape the government's image and regain the trust and confidence of the Hualin people."
"The county magistrate is right, but once trust is lost, it's not so easy to rebuild it!" said the newly appointed Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Changsheng with a serious expression.
Wang Hongen looked at Tai Man and asked, "County Chief Tai, how much longer until the Ling River project is completed?"
"In another half month, the project will be completed."
"Great, the Ling River Project will enhance the image of our government, after all, it is a project that benefits the people of Hualin County. The Publicity Department can start preparing for publicity now, and we can hold a large completion ceremony when the project is finished."
"Secretary, I have another idea," Tai Man spoke again.
"Let's hear it."
Tai Man proposed: "Recently, when we were collecting information on United Construction Company's involvement in criminal activities, we received a large number of reports. This matter has sparked considerable discussion throughout the whole county. Many people believe that our government is providing protection for these criminal elements. This negative impact must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to reshape the image of our government. Therefore, I suggest launching a one-month anti-crime and anti-vice campaign within the whole county, to show the people of Hualin that we will not go easy on criminal elements and will not be their protectors."
"That's a great proposal. We will entrust the County Public Security Bureau to carry it out, along with the various township police stations, to conduct a top-down anti-crime and anti-vice operation within Hualin County."
The meeting ended, but Tai Man did not leave. Instead, he followed Wang Hongen to the secretary's office.
"County Chief Tai, is there anything else you want to discuss?" Wang Hongen asked.
"I want to talk to you again about the crackdown on illegal activities. I don't think Director Ding Wei is suitable to lead this operation, considering his negligence in the Fei Bin case investigation, so..."
Wang Hongen interrupted Tai Man and said, "I understand your point. I will talk to Director Ding and remind him not to repeat the negligence from the Fei Bin case. However, Director Ding must lead this operation. Otherwise, it will make people feel that we don't trust the director, which will affect his authority within the public security system."
Tai Man can also understand Wang Hongen's thoughts, but still can't rest assured. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Secretary, Ding Wei was someone you fought to keep in the first place. He should listen to your advice. I hope you can remind him more and not make any more mistakes."
Initially, during the discussion of personnel appointments, Tai Man suggested removing Ding Wei, but Wang Hongen felt that although Ding Wei had been negligent, he had not made any mistakes. He rejected Tai Man's proposal and only issued a warning to Ding Wei.
"County Chief Tai Don't worry, I will talk to him." Wang Hongen promised, and Tai Man had no choice but to give up.
