"Director Ding has worked his way up from the grassroots level, and his abilities are beyond doubt. However, he is also very slick. Once he realizes that something is related to Fei Bin, he will definitely not investigate further and will definitely go and hint to County Magistrate Guo to ask for a personal favor." Someone like Ding Wei, who has no background or connections, must have outstanding abilities and be adept at handling interpersonal relationships to climb from the grassroots to a high position.
Tai Man angrily said, "According to what you said, Ding Wei can disregard his own duties in order to not offend County Magistrate Guo and to sell personal favors. Then he doesn't need to be the director anymore!"
"This is not a major case, there's no need for Director Ding to offend Deputy County Magistrate over such a matter."
"Then is he not afraid of offending me, the acting county chief?" Tai Man asked coldly.
"Fear!" Yang Chen replied affirmatively, "So he will also give you an explanation. The case will definitely be solved, but it won't be thoroughly investigated. Both sides will be explained to, neither side will be offended. This is called the human relations in the officialdom."
What a human relations officialdom!
Tai Man slowly stood up, supporting himself with both hands on the table, and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, Hualin's development has been hindered by the influence of personal relationships and the officialdom. As long as I am in Hualin, I will not allow personal relationships to run rampant in Hualin!"
Yang Chen gave Tai Man a thumbs up. "County Chief Tai, that's a great spirit. But if you want to reform the officialdom in Hualin, you need to protect yourself first. The old cadre failed to have a good ending because he wanted to achieve some political achievements before retiring, which ruined the rules of the Hualin officialdom and disrupted internal unity. You must not follow in his footsteps."
"Huang Kun, the secretary, made a mistake and can't blame others." Tai Man rolled up his sleeves and scrutinized Yang Chen. "Yang Chen, are you thinking of me, or are you afraid of ending up like Huang Kun, the secretary, and being sidelined again?"
"I do have some thoughts, but my little thoughts can't escape your leadership."
"You just need to know, focus more on work."
Yang Chen thought, "He needs to focus all his attention on work. If he doesn't use his brain more, and lets Tai Man run amok in Hualin, they probably won't last more than three episodes before they all have to go offline."
Tai Man sat down and started to worry again, "The vehicles and equipment from Eight Directions Road Bridge and Hongda Engineering will take at least a week to repair. The start date will be delayed."
"Don't worry, the Ling River Project will start as scheduled. I have discussed with manager Qiao and Director Zhao, they will first rent some vehicles and forklifts, which will not affect the start of the project."
Tai Man reminded, "You need to remind them to have trustworthy people guard it 24 hours a day to prevent the same thing from happening again. We cannot let anyone cause more damage."
"I have already reminded them."
The next day, leaders such as County Mayor Tai Man, Director of the Transportation Department, and Director of the Water Resources Bureau arrived at the location of Linhelian Road Bridge.
Tai Man, as the person in charge of the Ling River Project, delivered a speech. After the speech, he added the first shovel of soil for the project, followed by other leaders and Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda adding soil for the project.
The project launch ceremony ended, and trucks of sand and gravel were brought in, with the constant roar of forklifts.
Yang Chen was busy the whole time, directing the people in charge of publicity and the county TV station reporters to find angles for shooting. After all, this was the first large-scale project implemented after Tai Man arrived in Hualin, and it was a great opportunity to make a high-profile appearance, so naturally, publicity had to be done at its best.
Tai Man took various department leaders to accompany Qiao Jiancai and Zhao Hongda on an inspection tour before returning to the county government. As soon as she sat down, Director Ding Wei came to report on the work.
"County Magistrate, the intentional damage to the Eight Directions Road Bridge and the Hongda Engineering property case has been solved. There were a total of six people involved, and all have been arrested," reported Ding Wei standing upright.
"What is their purpose?"
"Revenge. six people were all dissatisfied with the two companies for personal reasons, so they gathered together to sneak into the companies at night and deliberately cause damage as an act of revenge."
Tai Man squinted and asked, "Is it really that simple?"
"Based on the current investigation, it does seem so. Do you have any other leads, County Chief?" Ding Wei asked cautiously.
Tai Man There are no clues, only speculation. But even if the speculation is mostly accurate, without evidence, it cannot be brought to the table. Ding Wei also understands this principle, which is why he is confident.
"I was just speaking casually. Director Ding, you've worked hard."
Ding Wei smiled and said, "It's just my duty, I wouldn't dare say it's hard work. If County Chief Tai has any orders, feel free to call me anytime. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to the office."
"Okay, Secretary Yang, please see off Director Ding."
Yang Chen sent Ding Wei away and returned to the office, only to see Tai Man with a gloomy face. He didn't dare to speak, fearing to attract trouble.
"You really hit the nail on the head. Ding Wei downplayed the matter, didn't continue to investigate, and shifted all the responsibility onto a few people who destroyed the equipment. How could they possibly have the guts to do that!"
Yang Chen comforted, "County Magistrate, don't be too angry. Even if we find Fei Bin, it's useless. It's still a matter of losing some money."
"That's true, but we will still need the cooperation of the Public Security Bureau in the future. Ding Wei is not trustworthy. We must have someone we can trust in the Public Security Bureau."
A trustworthy person?
Yang Chen I really can't think of a leader in the public security system who is willing to join their team.
Tai Man saw Yang Chen frowning all the time, suddenly slammed the table and said, "Is there really no honest official in the entire public security system of Hualin County?"
Yang Chen was startled and patted his chest, saying, "It's not necessarily true. It's just that they may not be on the same page as us. If they're not on the same page, they're not worth trusting."
Tai Man is determined to rectify the human relationships and officialdom of Hualin. In this process, it is inevitable that some people's interests will be touched and some people will be offended, and it may even evolve into a game of officialdom, leading to some people falling from power. In this process, once you stand on the wrong side, your official career is basically over.
And Tai Man is just a newcomer, who would stand firmly by her side? The reason Yang Chen is so determined is also because he has no other choice.
Tai Man smiled bitterly and said, "As a county magistrate, I can't find a trustworthy person in Hualin other than you!"
"That's because they don't know you well enough yet, and they don't know about your determination to rectify the officialdom and develop Hualin," Yang Chen said. As he spoke, a thought suddenly occurred to him. "Perhaps there is someone we can use."
"Who?" Tai Man looked at Yang Chen with anticipation.
"The deputy director of the White Stone Township police station, Baiqing River."
Tai Man's hopeful expression instantly turned into disappointment, "How much can a deputy director of a township police station do?"
What she wanted was a cadre from the county bureau, at least a deputy bureau chief or a squadron leader. The rank of a deputy director of a township is even lower than Yang Chen, and can't play a big role.
