Zhang Wen's name

the next day.

Chen Yanshi knew he couldn't avoid it today, but he stubbornly dragged it out until the afternoon.

The sanatorium staff were very dissatisfied that Chen Yanshi had made them wait all morning for nothing.

"Chen Yanshi, why are you dawdling like that woman? Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you make a mistake, admit it; if you're going to be punished, stand up straight'? You made such a big mistake, and all we're doing is making you write a self-criticism. You should be secretly happy about that."

"Governor Wang is right. As Party members and cadres, we should be able to admit our mistakes and correct them. Chen Yanshi, I think your awareness is not high enough. You only came in the afternoon. Are you trying to evade punishment?"

"Secretary Li, you're wrong. Chen Yanshi is no longer a Party member. He was expelled from the Party last time."

"Is this even possible? If he's not a party member anymore, who let him in? What does he think this place is?"

"Leaders, please calm down. Didn't the higher-ups order Chen Yanshi to come here every week to make a self-criticism? Let's see if Chen Yanshi has recognized his mistakes."

Hearing these words, Chen Yanshi felt short of breath.

"Comrades, I am here today to apologize to you all, and I hope you can forgive my previous rude behavior."

"Chen Yanshi, who said you're a comrade? You're just someone who's been disciplined."

"Governor Wang, we can't say that. Although Chen Yanshi made a mistake, shouldn't we give him a chance?"

"Chen Yanshi, hurry up and read your self-criticism. We've been waiting for you all afternoon. If you really don't want to write it, go back now. We're going to play chess later."

Chen Yanshi had never felt so frustrated. You old bastards, you just wait and see.

"Comrades, I'm about to begin my self-criticism. Please be quiet for a moment."

After saying this, Chen Yanshi began to read his self-criticism. It wasn't very long, only about 1000 words. So he finished reading it quickly.

Seeing this perfunctory attitude, the crowd immediately became indignant. They knew that this old man had suppressed Qi Tongwei and protected Chen Hai. He didn't mention either of those matters, only talking about some issues that had been dealt with in the past.

"Chen Yanshi, why didn't you mention a single word about Qi Tongwei and your Chen Hai? You mentioned the Dafeng Factory gasoline incident, how long ago was that? Everyone knows about it. It seems your self-criticism is very perfunctory. I will inform the comrades from the CPPCC to report this later."

"Secretary Li is absolutely right. Your self-criticism is far too perfunctory. For such a serious offense, it's only 1000 words. Do you think we haven't read it?"

Just as everyone was furiously criticizing Chen Yanshi, Zhang Wen walked in with Qi Tongwei.

Zhang Wen was very satisfied with the lively scene, and he was also pleased to see Chen Yanshi's frustrated expression.

Qi Tongwei was secretly delighted to see Chen Yanshi in such a sorry state.

As soon as Zhang Wen walked in, everyone started complaining to him.

"Governor Zhang, you must be the judge! This Chen Yanshi only arrived this afternoon. He's clearly disregarding the provincial party committee's orders. I suggest he write a self-criticism at least twice a week."

Zhang Wen's eyes lit up; it seemed the old comrade was also very dissatisfied with Chen Yanshi.

"Governor Wang, is your proposal the opinion of the masses, or just yours? When formulating penalties, we should fully listen to everyone's voice."

As soon as Zhang Wen finished speaking, everyone immediately spoke up for their leader.

"Governor Zhang, you have no idea how domineering Chen Yanshi is. He used to rely on his age and seniority to constantly interfere with our work. Now that he has made a mistake, how can you allow him to be so perfunctory?"

"Since everyone has decided this way, then I, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, agree."

Chen Yanshi was furious after hearing this. "Are you out of your mind? You believe whatever they say?"

"Governor Zhang, I agree with your punishment order. They are slandering me. I'm going to see Secretary Sha."

"Chen Yanshi, everyone thinks this way, and as the governor, I must respect the opinions of veteran comrades. As for your desire to see Secretary Sha, that's your problem. Our punishment of you is reasonable."

Chen Yanshi gritted his teeth in anger.

"Zhang Wen, you bastard, this is retaliation, you did it on purpose."

"Chen Yanshi, I don't recognize you. Are you saying that I'm falsely accusing you of suppressing Qi Tongwei and protecting Chen Hai?"

Chen Yanshi fell silent after hearing this. Seeing that Chen Yanshi had backed down, everyone despised him even more, thinking he was a hypocrite.

Seeing Chen Yanshi remain silent, Zhang Wen immediately spoke up.

"Chen Yanshi, since you say we've wronged you, how about I have Qi Tongwei confront you?"

Qi Tongwei was very excited when he heard this; he had been waiting for this opportunity for far too long.

Seeing Qi Tongwei's excited expression, the leaders knew that something exciting was about to happen, so they immediately started to cheer him on.

"Chen Yanshi, since you say Governor Zhang wronged you, now that Qi Tongwei is in front of you, do you dare to confront him? If not, we'll call you a hypocrite."

Provoked by their similarities, Chen Yanshi immediately blurted out.

"Let's confront each other then. Who's afraid of who? I'm an honest and upright official, and I don't believe you can frame me."

Everyone was speechless. You've already made a self-criticism, what kind of good cadre can you be?

Qi Tongwei immediately spoke up when he saw Chen Yanshi agree.

"Chen Yanshi, why did you assign me to the Yantai Township Judicial Office?"

"Qi Tongwei, as the most outstanding student in the Department of Political Science and Law at Handong University, it is reasonable for me to assign you to the judicial office to help the local people popularize legal knowledge."

"Then why wasn't my salary implemented according to the salary of a deputy section chief? I remember that back then, as long as you graduated with a master's degree, you were entitled to the salary of a deputy section chief."

Chen Yanshi replied without batting an eye.

"I was just trying to save money there because the area is poor. Besides, how can you, as a cadre, mention money? Don't you have the qualities of a Party member who is willing to endure hardship?"

Upon hearing this, Governor Wang could no longer stand it.

"Chen Yanshi, since you're so enlightened, why don't you send Chen Hai instead? I remember your daughter Chen Yang is working in the capital now, isn't she?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanshi hated Governor Wang to the core.

"How can they be the same? Qi Tongwei is so outstanding, while my son isn't that outstanding. Our subordinate cadres must be the most outstanding among them."

Zhang Wen's worldview was once again challenged by this old man.

"Alright, Chen Yanshi, stop making excuses. You're treating us leaders like fools. Since you did indeed suppress Qi Tongwei, then our punishment is reasonable. From now on, you'll come here twice a week to give a self-criticism."

After saying this, Zhang Wen left with Qi Tongwei, having thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle today.

After Zhang Wen left, the leaders started criticizing Chen Yanshi again.
