"You don't know yet?" Tian Zhibin seemed to have discovered a new world. His old habit of showing off could not help but come into play. He looked radiant all of a sudden, as if he knew something that the city officials didn't know and it was a great honor for him to know. "A few days ago, Director Zuo from the Municipal Education Bureau personally brought people to No. 1 Middle School to investigate. The scene and momentum were really incredible. Principal Tian is such a powerful person, but he didn't say a word in front of Director Zuo, and his calves were shaking with fear. You know what, Director Zuo is like a fairy, but his eyes are so cold that you dare not even look at him for a second."
Wen Liang wanted to laugh when he heard this. Tian Zhibin was originally a useless guy. He relied on Tian Peng to get into No. 1 Middle School and became the director of the General Affairs Office, but his vision and knowledge level did not improve at all, and his words were so out of tune. Doesn't your father know more about Zuo Yuxi's aura than you? Besides, Tian Peng is your benefactor after all. Is there such a plot behind the scenes
Ding Li was more cunning than Tian Zhibin. Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, she shouted, "You're just talking nonsense after a few drinks. Are you an old woman?"
Although the third uncle Chen Ke is an ordinary worker, he is tall and upright. He can't stand Tian Zhibin the most. He frowned and said, "Zhibin, my brother-in-law has seen all kinds of scenes in the Municipal Party Committee. Don't talk nonsense."
Sometimes there is always something stronger than another. Tian Zhibin was not afraid of Wen Huaiming before, but he was always a little intimidated by Chen Ke. At the same time, he also realized that something was wrong. Wen Huaiming was no longer the powerless deputy director of the Political Research Office. He could decide the fate of many people, including himself, with just one word.
With power comes respect. Tian Zhibin quickly poured a glass of wine, stood up and apologized, saying, "Brother-in-law, I've always been outspoken, please don't be offended, I'll drink this glass of wine!"
Wen Huaiming would never argue with him. He picked up the wine and drank a glass with him. They were all family. Even if he didn't consider Ding Mei's face, he had to give face to the old man. He couldn't let others feel superior just because of his different status.
"Zhibin, keep talking. I want to hear what's going on."
Zuo Yuxi once told Wen Liang that it was a trivial matter, and it was indeed not a big deal, but that was only for Zuo Yuxi. In this not-so-developed small county, it was almost the most sensational event in recent years.
When the county leaders accompanied Zuo Yuxi on the inspection, a young female teacher from the school suddenly rushed out and accused Tian Peng of using his power to play with women, embezzling the state's compulsory education public funding subsidies, arranging relatives to work in the school and promoting them to middle-level leadership positions, and taking public funds for multiple trips, making illegal reimbursements, and more than a dozen other crimes. At the time, seven or eight leaders from the four major teams of the county came, and the accompanying personnel plus the school's faculty and staff totaled dozens of people present. It was really embarrassing.
If it were another leader, they would either walk away and listen to the local report afterwards, or comfort the local authorities with gentle words and ask them to conduct a serious investigation, but without exception, they would not directly intervene in local government affairs. Zuo Yuxi's actions were not something anyone could guess. She only needed to look at the expressions of the people at the scene to understand that even if this matter was not known to everyone in Yunshui, it was not a secret. Looking at the young girl in front of her, she might be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a haggard face and a gaunt appearance, but her slender figure and clear outline showed that she was once a beautiful and pretty girl.
Before the county leaders could come up with a way to smooth things over, Zuo Yuxi signaled the city bureau staff to take the girl away from the scene, and then asked, "Who is Tian Peng?"
Tian Peng stood out tremblingly. Zuo Yuxi glanced at him without saying anything and continued to visit with the crowd as if nothing had happened, leaving him standing there alone, feeling so embarrassed that he almost wanted to crawl into the ground.
For the next two days, no one knew where the female teacher was taken. The county secretly discussed several times, but the final conclusion was to give up Tian Peng if it didn't work out, because Zuo Yuxi was not an ordinary director of the Municipal Education Bureau. Behind her stood Xu Fuyan, a senior official from Qingzhou City, and Zuo Jing, a senior official from Lingyang City.
As the two most promising city officials in Jiangdong, Xu Fuyan became famous in the world within half a year for two major cases, state-owned enterprise reform and flood relief. Although he was brilliant, his foundation was not very stable and he still had a long way to go in the future; while Zuo Jing took one step at a time, from county to city, from a remote area to a thoroughfare, and finally governed Lingyang and became a vice-provincial official. He has reached a critical juncture where he can make great achievements. Everyone knows that Zuo Jing will be the only candidate for the next vice secretary of the provincial party committee. Even if there is an irreversible mutation, he can at least become a member of the provincial standing committee and have a vote in the decision-making seat.
With such a background, anyone with a discerning eye would know what to do. Even if it was against the reputation of Tian Peng's father, Tian Taofen, the former county official and current director of the People's Congress, this was the only way to deal with the matter. After all, the female teacher had made trouble more than once or twice, and the county had covered it up for almost a year, but it hadn't been properly resolved. What else could be said? We couldn't let everyone be caught by the cat because of a rat's shit!
Two days later, Zuo Yuxi was still wandering around the rural primary schools under Yunshui. The county official Tao Li personally ordered a case to be filed against Tian Peng, and investigated all the accusations against the female teacher. Then he held a formal banquet for Zuo Yuxi. No one knew what was said during the banquet. All we know is that after the meal, Zuo Yuxi had the female teacher, who had lived comfortably in a hotel for two days, and the materials in her hands sent to the public security bureau.
The matter was settled, Tian Peng was doomed to be imprisoned, and Tian Taofen's plan to let his son go to school to gain experience and then transfer to the Education Bureau to work in politics was ruined. Zuo Yuxi did not say a word from beginning to end, and solved the trouble without bloodshed. It can be regarded as a model of officialdom oppression by using calmness to control movement and defense as offense.
First, she acted decisively, giving the local government almost no time to think, and took away the main parties without any rules or reason. Then she called Tian Peng's name on the spot, seemingly casually, but in fact she slapped him mercilessly, showing her attitude of eradicating all evil.
Then the female teacher disappeared, Zuo Yuxi wandered around leisurely, but refused to leave, Yunshui County was in a panic, no one knew how far she would go. Tian Peng had done a lot of dirty things, and everyone covered up what they could for the sake of the old leader's face, but when it was impossible to cover it up, it was better to let the Taoist friend die instead of the poor Taoist!
Therefore, Yunshui was united in one goal, which was to quickly arrest Tian Peng and send Director Zuo away. Zuo Yuxi was a powerful person who knew how to advance and retreat. He had forced the whole county to this point with his own strength, so of course he had to stop when he saw the good. Moreover, if he really intervened too deeply or refused to give in, not to mention that Xu Fuyan might not be happy to hear the news, this group of officials in the county would be completely offended.
She was not Bao Zheng or Hai Rui, and she did not expect a peaceful and clean world. As the director of the Education Bureau, she could help the female teacher get justice, which was the limit of what she could do. So she visited the female teacher one last time - to give her a talisman, and then left Yunshui calmly.
This time, no one in the crowd who were seeing her off dared to secretly fantasize about her with the eyes of a man looking at a woman. Instead, they were filled with awe from the bottom of their hearts.
In the officialdom, there are no men or women, only winners and losers. So if you want to go further on this ladder to heaven, you have to make everyone forget your gender and remember your methods.
After this incident, Zuo Yuxi became famous, not only for her beautiful reputation as the flower of Qingzhou, but also for her majesty of killing and ruthlessness. The side of her that only Wen Liang had ever seen was finally revealed to Qingzhou.
Everyone in Qingzhou was shocked!
Tian Zhibin certainly didn't know many of the details, but that didn't stop him from praising Zuo Yuxi's effortless approach. This was also the benefit of Zuo Yuxi stopping at the right time, and the Yunshui officialdom's evaluation of her was surprisingly one-sided and good.
Wen Liang was listening intently, and couldn't help but smile when he thought of the scene where Zuo Yuxi made Yunshui feel uneasy but still wandered around the countryside calmly.
In the early years when Zuo Jing was around, in order to avoid suspicion, Zuo Yuxi had ambitions but could not do many things. In fact, even if she did well, people only saw her identity and ignored her own abilities intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, in the past few years, Zuo Yuxi could only show her coldness and arrogance. I don't know how many people respect her on the surface, but secretly have dirty thoughts about her. All they remember about her is just Zuo Jing's daughter and a beautiful lady.
However, from now on, the title of Flower of Qingzhou will eventually be overshadowed by the identity of Director of Qingzhou Municipal Education Bureau. This is the honor she deserves and what she pursues.
Wen Liang warmed his hands by the fire and looked up. His thoughts had already flown to the distant sky and earth. He seemed to have remembered something, and a leisurely and fascinated look appeared on his face.
"I see!" Wen Huaiming said seriously, "I haven't heard of this matter, but since the county is already investigating, everything is subject to the organization's conclusion. Zhibin, you are also a student of No. 1 Middle School. You just need to do your job seriously at this juncture, and don't ask about these things!"
When Tian Zhibin heard Wen Huaiming speaking in an official tone, he felt annoyed and turned to look at Ding Li, meaning to say, "See, the Secretary-General is much more tough than the deputy director of the Policy Research Office. He doesn't want to pay attention to us!"
Ding Li pushed Ding Mei and pouted, "Sister!"
Ding Li is the youngest in the family and can be said to have been raised by Ding Mei. Although she has been angry and complained about the character of Ding Tian and Ding Mei over the years, the family is connected by bones and tendons. If something really happens, they can't just stand by and do nothing. And if they come to her for help, it can be considered a relief, right
"Old Wen, why don't you help me find out? I heard from Ding Li that one of the charges against Tian Peng is that he arranged for his relatives to work at No. 1 Middle School. Isn't this referring to Zhibin? You have to take care of it and can't let them do whatever they want!"
Wen Liang burst out laughing, and everyone looked over. Ding Li frowned and said, "Xiao Liang, what are you laughing at? The adults are talking, don't make trouble!"
