Liu Zhengxiang is fifty-eight years old and will be retiring soon.
He was mediocre in office, with no outstanding achievements, but he also did not make any serious mistakes.
His greatest wish is to spend these two years peacefully, and then go home to hold his grandson and enjoy the joys of family life.
The people of Daxia value their reputation most and all want to die a peaceful death.
He didn't want to end up in a cage.
Not only would his lifelong reputation be ruined, but he would also have to work as a sewing machine operator. Just thinking about that kind of ending made him feel numb.
He was anxious, but Chen Tao was even more anxious.
After all, he was Wang Ming's direct superior. If Wang Ming implicated him, he would probably be sentenced to a heavier sentence than Wang Ming.
"Mayor Liu, what should we do now? Wang Ming is such a coward, what if... you have to save the students!" Chen Tao said, pulling on his arm.
"Don't rush! Let me think about it!"
Liu Zhengxiang waved his hand.
No matter what, he's been a leader his whole life and has seen all sorts of ups and downs, so he's not flustered at this moment.
He thought for a moment and said, "This matter was caused by Chen Ning. We can't touch this girl! Otherwise, we'll be disrespecting the Imperial Inspector!"
In Liu Zhengxiang's view, no matter what happens, one must never go against the Imperial Inspector.
The mayor, though the head of the city, is nothing compared to the imperial inspector! A mere sesame seed insignificant official!
Furthermore, upon closer reflection, if they really wanted to deal with him, it would probably only take a word; there was no need to resort to such methods to force Yang Minghua to report him to the inspection department.
In his view, the other party's purpose in doing this was probably only one thing: to make an example of them and warn them!
If they insist on confronting us, the consequences could be even worse!
Liu Zhengxiang is a seasoned veteran; he still has that kind of instinct.
But Chen Tao hadn't considered such a far-reaching implications. His expression remained somewhat grim. "Mayor, if we don't get Chen Ning out of here, she's like a ticking time bomb. She might explode at any moment, and then we'll be..."
Knowing that someone has installed cameras around you, who can sleep soundly? Chen Tao felt extremely uncomfortable at the thought of having to face Chen Ning every day.
Liu Zhengxiang gave him a cold glance. "She's not some monster, just a young girl who just graduated. What's there to be afraid of? When you go back this time, just be careful with your words and actions, do your job well, and what can she do to you?"
"As for this Wang Ming..."
Liu Zhengxiang thought for a moment and said, "Since no inspection team has intervened, it means the Imperial Inspector doesn't want to investigate further! There's no need to worry too much! You are responsible for comforting his family and ensuring they have no worries! Also, Zhang Dong, you should expedite the trial of this case and conclude it as soon as possible, with a verdict this week! That should settle things down!"
Both of them nodded in agreement.
Although Chen Tao was extremely unwilling, he understood that Liu Zhengxiang's solution was the best one.
However, starting today, he'll have to be extremely vigilant. Because the Imperial Inspector's eyes are always on them, and the gleaming sword of authority hangs over their heads!
Those carefree days are gone forever!
Liu Zhengxiang's eyes flickered as he said, "Don't worry, the imperial inspector can't stay indefinitely when he comes to inspect the area. As long as we keep an eye on things for these three months, keep your subordinates in check, and keep their mouths shut, there won't be any major trouble. This is based on my past experience!"
The people from Yandu who came to inspect the area before have come several times, and they all came out unscathed.
Having already dealt with it before, I feel somewhat confident.
And so, the plan for dealing with Wang Ming and Chen Ning was decided.
Meanwhile, Wang Ming was still in his office, celebrating with his cousin.
His cousin is about to be promoted to deputy director, and the other party has promised him a share of his nephew's deer farm.
Wang Ming was so excited he felt like he was floating on air.
Immediately after Liu Zhengxiang issued the order, Zhang Dong personally led a group of men wearing red armbands into the office and apprehended Wang Ming.
Wang Ming never expected that Chen Ning, whom he had wrongly accused, would be unharmed, while he himself would be arrested.
"What's going on? Director Zhang, have you arrested the wrong person? Shouldn't you be arresting Chen Ning?" Wang Ming asked, puzzled.
Zhang Dong sneered, "You've got the right person! Half an hour ago, Yang Minghua came to the inspection office to report you. That Omega watch didn't belong to Deputy Director Chen at all; it was a bribe he gave to you, Wang Ming!"
"You accepted bribes and framed officials; you are guilty of both crimes. The mayor has personally ordered me to take you back for questioning!"
As Zhang Dong's cold words fell, Wang Ming's face turned deathly pale.
His big head wasn't for nothing. Liu Zhengxiang personally giving the order meant something serious had happened; he was most likely being used as a pawn!
...
And so, the matter of the watch came to an end.
Chen Ning received a notification that she could return to work as usual tomorrow.
To express his apology, Chen Tao personally bought fruit and flowers and brought his colleagues from his department to visit his father, Chen Gang, at the hospital.
Chen Gang was flattered and overwhelmed. He had been an ordinary citizen all his life, and this was the first time he had been visited by a leader. He was so happy that tears streamed down his face.
Being an official signifies status; if one's daughter is successful, it's a case of "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven."
However, Chen Ning couldn't feel happy.
She knew it must be because Brother Lin had intervened.
If it weren't for Brother Lin's intervention, it wouldn't have been Wang Ming who went in; it would probably have been me!
Through this incident, she realized that she knew too little about interpersonal relationships and that the world inside the building was too complicated.
