Chapter 181 of "New Urban Farmers": The Battle for Out-of-Town Positions (Part 1)
2 "What?! That bastard Liu Dong left the city that year! Captain Wen almost collapsed upon hearing this. It's all over! In an instant, Captain Wen's face turned terribly pale."
He even wore a green hat to get this unofficial joint defense team leader position and spent a lot of money. What should he do now that he has arrested the district chief's secretary?
Captain Wen panicked and immediately jumped up and ran towards the room where the fat man was being held.
"Captain Wen, slow down!" Seeing the captain's horribly pale face, Li Zi immediately realized they might have run into a brick wall. He recalled how the fat man had calmly said, "You'll regret this!"
Looking back now, they were really fearless!
"Bang!" Captain Wen kicked the door open. He saw the fat man bent over, his face pale and unable to straighten up for a long time, while his subordinate Liu Dong had a cold smile on his face and was holding a police baton in his hand.
Upon seeing Captain Wen enter, Liu Dong immediately flattered him, saying, "Captain Wen is a tough nut to crack. I'm just getting him to relax. It'll be done soon, hehe!"
"Slap!" Captain Wen slapped him across the face, leaving him stunned.
"You're so good to scold me. You've ruined my life!" Captain Wen cursed, his eyes bloodshot.
Then he immediately ran over and helped the fat man up, repeatedly apologizing: "Secretary Wang, it's all my fault for being blind and not recognizing you! I deserve to die!"
Captain Wen slapped himself hard as he spoke.
The fat man was furious. He had heard that there were many shady dealings in the Public Security Bureau, and Luo Jianhui was also worried about Jiang Lihan's control. He never expected to run into Jiang Lihan himself.
Hearing that the district intended to select several cadres to serve in rural areas, the fat man immediately became interested. Although he had only been in this position for a little over six months, being a leader's secretary was not something he wanted to do.
His ambition was to become the top leader or second-in-command in a local area, which showed the fat man's considerable ambition. However, this would be quite difficult.
First, he's 27 years old. Second, he's only been a section chief for a little over six months, and the top two leaders in the district's townships are already deputy division chiefs, so further promotions are practically impossible.
However, the provincial party committee's instructions on cadre training include a point that emphasizes the cultivation and promotion of "three-have" young cadres. These "three-have" cadres are those who are cultured, capable, and principled. This can be seen as a supplement to and a concretization of the central government's instructions on promoting younger cadres.
The fat man had read quite a bit. He had carefully considered it. As the district head's full-time secretary and deputy director of the district government office, being transferred to another post as a special exception was acceptable. Adding "section chief" in parentheses after that should be feasible. As for Luo Jianhui, the fat man was confident he could overcome that hurdle.
You can find another secretary for the leader, but it's far more important to secure the top two positions in the townships and villages with your own people.
He never expected that drinking would lead to this mess. He started having ulterior motives, even going so far as to let himself get hurt.
But how did Captain Wen get the news so quickly? The fat man straightened up, shook off Captain Wen's support, and sneered, "Captain Wen, are you blind? How dare you accept this position?"
Captain Wen broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing the fat man's words. Secretary Wang intended to...
“Secretary Wang, you are a magnanimous person. We had no choice. That bar belongs to Young Master Wei. I am just a nobody. You see?” Captain Wen quickly revealed Zuo, who was behind the bar.
Suddenly, Wei Shao's spirits lifted. He was doing Wei Shao's bidding; this Secretary Wang was merely the district head's secretary—not even worthy of being Wei Shao's finger.
The fat man's face hardened as he said, "Young Master Wei? Regardless of which Young Master Wei you're referring to, let's wait for your superior to speak!"
The fat man sat down in the chair and wouldn't move.
Captain Wen's expression changed several times before he finally gritted his teeth and said, "You guys go out first! Secretary Wang and I have something to talk about!"
Li Zihe and Liu Dong, who had gotten into trouble and looked pale, went out and closed the door.
"Secretary Wang, please don't be angry. That is indeed Young Master Wei's bar. I'm just a nobody and wouldn't dare to offend you. I was blind to your true identity this time. Please say something and I'll make amends!" Captain Wen said with a pained expression.
He wanted to settle things with a sum of money. With Wei Shao's reputation, it should be enough. However, he'd have to pay for it himself, which would be painful.
But how could he know the fat man's background? The fat man sneered and said, "Can you afford to pay for it?"
Captain Wen's expression changed several times, but he knew he couldn't meet the other person's standards, and he immediately panicked. If Secretary Wang didn't leave soon, the bureau chief would arrive, and he would be finished.
"Secretary Wang, I'll deal with that bastard Liu Dong right away!" Captain Wen said immediately.
He found an excuse to leave, but the door to the room was open. What was the point of dealing with Liu Dong at this critical juncture? He needed to call General Manager Yang and Director Liang immediately for help.
When General Manager Yang received the call from Captain Wen, he was quite surprised. Was the person they had arrested the district head's personal secretary?
"Are you sure it's the district head's personal secretary? Hmph. So what if she's a secretary? Don't worry, someone will handle this!" General Manager Yang said.
Captain Wen, however, was inwardly anxious. He said, "Don't worry! They're about to deal with me." He continued, "President Yang, you must tell Young Master Wei that I'm working for him. Besides, when I mentioned Young Master Wei earlier, he dismissed me, saying he didn't know him. I can't handle this!"
"How dare a mere secretary be so arrogant? You can leave this to your own devices!"
Captain Wen felt a slight sense of relief upon hearing this, so he called Director Liang, who was calling him. Upon hearing this, Liang Xin calmly said, "What kind of captain are you? How could you arrest the district head's secretary?"
Captain Wen sensed the implication in the tone, but how did Director Liang know about this?
"At first, Secretary Wang didn't say that he was the district chief's secretary and that he had made a move against Wei Shao," Captain Wen said hesitantly.
"Young Master Wei?" Director Liang paused for a moment. There was another reason for this? This is good news!
How many "Young Master Weis" are there in this city? Only the son of Vice Mayor Wei, a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, dares to be called "Young Master Wei." He immediately felt the pressure ease.
Having something on his mind, Liang Xin asked, "Have you contacted Young Master Wei yet?"
Captain Wen immediately said, "I've contacted them. Mr. Yang from the bar said he'd handle it, but Director Jiang and Deputy Director Lin are on their way here soon. What should we do now, Director Liang?"
"Why would Secretary Wang go to a bar? That doesn't fit his status. But you need to report this to Director Jiang properly. I'm coming right away!" Liang Xin said vaguely.
He understood what Director Guo meant.
Captain Wen's mind raced; Director Liang was clearly...? He understood immediately.
He hurriedly went out to settle his men, and once the net was set up, all the police cars from the branch office arrived in a flash. The purpose of their visit was none other than Deputy Director Lin, the most beautiful woman in the police station and also the head of the first squadron.
Captain Wen immediately rushed forward like a lapdog and said, "Welcome, Director Lin! What brings you here?"
Lin Yue, however, asked expressionlessly, "Where is Secretary Wang?"
Captain Wen immediately feigned ignorance and asked, "Secretary Wang?"
"Where are the two people you just arrested?" Lin Yue asked, frowning.
"Ah, them?" Captain Wen's expression changed drastically. He immediately said, "They're in that room." "You've been using torture?" Lin Yue's cold gaze swept over Captain Wen, filled with anger. "Aren't you going to help them out?" Captain Wen was sweating profusely with fear. This wasn't acting; he was genuinely sweating. Although he knew someone was behind him, the pressure from his superior was immense.
But Lin Yue's men immediately took over the two rooms, leaving Captain Wen and the others helpless.
The subordinate returned quickly, but the fat man was nowhere to be seen. The subordinate reported, "Secretary Wang of Director Lin said he was injured!"
"What!" Lin Yue was immediately shocked, her face turning ashen. Her gaze towards Captain Wen was murderous. "None of you are allowed to leave this place!"
When Lin Yue arrived and immediately tried to place everyone under house arrest, Captain Wen and the others panicked. They were also alarmed; this was different from what they had been told. Once trapped by the software, they wouldn't be able to get out without suffering severe injuries.
"Director Lin, I'm innocent! Secretary Wang didn't reveal her identity at all, and she caused trouble at Young Master Wei's bar. The other party seriously injured four people. I did nothing wrong!" Captain Wen said, forcing a smile.
"You're not wrong, so I'm wrong, Director Lin? After the incident at the bar, Captain Wen and his men only brought me and a friend to give our statements, while the other side, the troublemakers, were let go. Is this how you take statements? Furthermore, Captain Wen brought us here to give our statements, but now it's turned into torture, with police batons used! We'll have to have our injuries checked later. I want to ask, is there any law left in this police station?" The fat man stepped forward and said coldly.
"Secretary Wang, is this a misunderstanding? Wen Hongli, what's going on? Explain to Director Lin and me how we managed to bring Secretary Wang from the bar?" At that moment, a car pulled up. A person got out, having witnessed the scene, and exclaimed in surprise.
It's Liang Xin, the executive deputy director!
Wen Hongli's courage immediately grew when he saw Director Liang.
He immediately put on a pitiful act, embellishing the story to make it sound like he and his companions were completely innocent.
“Secretary Wang, bars and similar places have always been chaotic. If things get out of hand, it might not be good for Secretary Wang. I think we should have Wen Hongli apologize, and then my department will handle Secretary Wang internally. What do you think? Of course, the matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly,” Liang Xin said, frowning.
Wen Hongli thought he had misheard Director Liang and that he was actually going to be punished? He was momentarily bewildered and frightened.
Alright.
"Director Liang," Wen Hongli said in a panic.
But Liang Xin glared at him and snorted coldly, saying, "The Public Security Bureau absolutely cannot allow bad apples to appear. If it is found that you abused your power, I will poison you and not let you off the hook!"
“This unofficial joint defense has a serious problem. Why does it keep having problems?” Jiang Lihan arrived shortly after. As soon as he arrived, he took control of the main seat, and Liang Xin had to step aside. But he overheard Liang Xin’s words.
Liang Xin's face immediately darkened. He was in charge of this unofficial joint defense force. This question was naturally directed at his responsibility. However, he wasn't worried; he had received a phone call on the way here. Now he planned to watch Jiang Lihan make a fool of himself and see how he would handle the situation!
But Jiang Lihan ignored his expression and ordered Lin Yue, "Director Lin, take some men to that bar and 'invite' the person involved to the station to cooperate with the investigation!"
Then he walked toward the fat man.
"Director Wang, I, on behalf of the Public Security Bureau, will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!" Jiang Lihan said solemnly. Then he nodded to Zhang Guodong.
