Reaching the Pinnacle: Starting from Joining the Discipline Inspection Commission

Seeing Wang Feng's puzzled look, Xu Tian smiled slightly.

He spoke again, his words filled with sincerity and respect.

"Secretary Wang!"

Hearing Xu Tian address him in that way again, Wang Feng's confusion deepened.

He could tell that Xu Tian's address was not insincere flattery, but rather a respectful and appreciative one.

"Director Xu, what exactly does this mean?"

He knew the significance of the title "Secretary" in the other person's words, but it was precisely because he knew it so well that he was even more puzzled.

To put it bluntly, he came to Tianlong Town to participate in the assessment...

The purpose of the assessment is to ultimately become a leader in the new district.

But now…

He had not received any notification that the assessment was over... nor did he believe he had passed the assessment...

But he claimed he had passed the assessment and even referred to himself as "Secretary"...

This puzzled him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian took a deep breath, turned to look out the window, and slowly began to speak.

"Actually, there was no assessment at all... In other words, from beginning to end, you were the only one who participated in the assessment!"

boom!

When Wang Feng heard this, he felt utterly incredulous.

This was completely different from what he knew...

not to mention.

When Zou Long told him all this, he was very serious…

In the end, even Su Yan went back to prepare for the assessment...

"Director Xu, what exactly is going on?"

Xu Tian seemed to have known that Wang Feng was going to ask this question. He turned to look at Wang Feng with a serious expression.

"Actually, the higher-ups already knew about the Tianlong County issue... and they even sent people here before you..."

"But unsurprisingly, everyone sent over was sent back..."

"And the reasons for fighting back are varied... some are out of fear, others are simply unable to bear it..."

"This is a major headache for the higher-ups..."

"Because the situation in Tianlong County is too complicated... so complicated that it cannot be solved without a person with a strong will."

"And you just happened to appear at that moment..."

"The higher-ups think you're very suitable... but they can't think of a suitable reason to transfer you over there..."

"So that's how assessments came about?"

Wang Feng then spoke up.

Xu Tian nodded upon hearing this.

"Yes."

"The merger of Oasis Prefecture and Ishihara Prefecture is the first of its kind in the country... so everyone is taking this merger very seriously..."

"But if they just send anyone up, they're worried it will be a failure, so they're planning to hold a public search..."

"But this suggestion was quickly rejected by the person at the top... He believed that if you doubt someone, you shouldn't use them; if you use someone, you shouldn't doubt them. Since you were the one who made everything happen, it's most appropriate for you to create this history."

"Of course!"

Xu Tian took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"As you know, some things can't be decided by one person alone... Ultimately, with everyone's insistence, that person finally agreed to give you one last test..."

"And this test is Tianlong County!"

"If you can solve the problems in Tianlong County, then you can successfully become the top leader of the new district."

"On the contrary... you'll be eliminated!"

Hearing Xu Tian say this, Wang Feng gradually understood...

"You could say this was all a test set up for you... and the rest of the people were just there as supporting characters, or rather, they were just there to make a cameo appearance to complement you..."

Wang Feng was stunned.

No wonder there's been no news about other candidates for so many days...

So this kind of election doesn't even exist...

Everyone else knew, except him... He was kept in the dark...

"Now it seems that his judgment was right after all... You didn't let him down... nor did you disappoint those who trusted you..."

Xu Tian continued speaking, and after he finished, he looked at Wang Feng.

"To be honest, at first I didn't believe it... or rather, I didn't believe you could expose Zheng Dongliang and his gang."

"Because Zheng Dongliang and his group are really too wary... at the slightest sign of trouble, they will cower in fear."

"As a result, many of our operations came to nothing..."

"But your arrival breaks this convention..."

"Because most people don't know the truth, they just think you're here to make a show of things..."

That's what Zheng Dongliang thought, and that's what those who depended on him thought... so he didn't believe you could really make them suffer a major setback.

"But only a few people know that your temporary assignment at the grassroots level is not a regular assessment at all."

Xu Tian turned to look at Wang Feng, who looked surprised, and his tone became increasingly serious.

"This is a special skills test set up specifically for you by your superiors!"

After hearing this, Wang Feng was completely stunned.

He always thought he was passively drawn into this dangerous political game and anti-gang campaign, a perilous and deadly situation at every turn.

It turns out that from the very beginning, he was the sharp blade that his superiors had high hopes for and were specifically used to break the deadlock.

No wonder he didn't receive large-scale support despite his numerous secret investigations and reports of suspicious points when he first arrived.

No wonder Zheng Dongliang's advance report and covert suppression efforts ultimately went unanswered.

It wasn't that those above were unaware; rather, they observed and tested the entire process.

It tests his original aspirations, his resolve, his strategic planning abilities, and even more so, his courage to fight tough battles and tackle difficult challenges.

"Therefore, from the day you stepped into Tianlong County, everything you did was under the observation of your superiors."

Xu Tian was filled with emotion, his tone full of sighs.

Ultimately, you didn't let everyone down...

You withstood the undercurrents in Tianlong County, the desperate assassination attempts by the criminal gang led by Lin Yao, and the relentless pressure from the leadership of Zheng Dongliang. You did not compromise, retreat, or collude with them.

"Breaking the deadlock overnight, uprooting the entire criminal gang, dismantling Lin Yao's criminal organization, and breaking through Zheng Dongliang's top-level protection umbrella... This... is witnessed by everyone."

"You have passed this test perfectly."

Wang Feng remained silent for a long time, and all the doubts, confusion, and bewilderment in his heart vanished at that moment.

No wonder some things seem so coincidental... it turns out it was all a deliberate arrangement...

The authorities gave him enough space to take a gamble and, at the last moment, ensured justice.

"I see."

Wang Feng spoke slowly, a flash of realization crossing his eyes before returning to calm.

Yes, it's peace.

For him, whether it's a test or anything else... it doesn't matter...

He was only glad that he had stayed true to his original aspirations, had not violated his principles, and had not betrayed the beliefs in his heart.

Never forget our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind!

His heart has never changed from the beginning... to speak out for the people, to do what he can, and to accomplish what he can to the utmost.

In his heart,

Evil cannot prevail over good. Only with unwavering faith will light one day shine upon the earth!

"That's not all."

Xu Tian continued speaking, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"Zheng Dongliang has been entrenched in power for many years, and he has implicated a large number of people, including many cadres from the county party committee, townships, and various functional departments. Some of them have been involved in bribery, some have been shielding others, some have been negligent in their duties, and some have acted as informants."

Before the tree fell, everyone hid in the shadows, lying in wait and watching, and no one dared to make a move.

Now that the main root has been pulled out, the entire rotten tree has collapsed completely. The next step is a thorough cleanup, a comprehensive investigation, and complete eradication of the toxins.

"And all of this is thanks to you!"

Wang Feng heard this and shook his head.

"No, this is not my personal achievement... In fact, Lin Zhen helped me a lot in this matter."

"If it weren't for his phone call, I probably wouldn't have come to Tianlong Town on the first day... and naturally, none of this would have happened..."

Xu Tian nodded upon hearing this.

"That can't be ruled out... but ultimately, it's because of yourself..."

Wang Feng remained silent, simply turning his head to look out the window again…

The matter in Tianlong County has come to an end...

But the cleanup work is far from over…

But all of this was no longer relevant to him, because the very next day he received a call from his superiors, ordering him to return to Oasis County and report on the results of his mission…

One day later…

Rongzhou City.

Wang Feng was once again seated at the enlarged meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee…

Looking at everyone, Wang Feng felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Especially Tian Qingluo…

"Wang Feng, when you get back, please give Lao Tian a heads-up... tell him I'll go see him for drinks when I have time..."

These are Lu Guozhang's original words.

It was only at that moment that he realized that the reason why Lü Guozhang trusted him was partly due to reasons from above, and partly because he and Tian Qingluo were old classmates.

"Comrade Wang Feng, after final discussion and deliberation by the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee, it has been decided to appoint you as the Secretary of the Binjiang District Party Committee!"

As Zou Long finished speaking, a round of applause erupted in the conference room.

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng stood up and looked at Zou Long, then looked at everyone present one by one.

"Secretary Zou, distinguished leaders..."

"I…"

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Feng slowly began to speak…

"I believe I can!"

These five simple words revealed his unwavering determination.

After the meeting.

He chatted with Tian Qingluo again, and the conversation went on until the evening…

He felt dizzy all the way until the next morning…

Ring ring!

The phone rang, and Wang Feng picked it up and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

Su Yan!

"Feed..."

"Secretary Wang, how's it going with your new position?"

"Well!"

Wang Feng never expected Su Yan to tease him like that…

"It's so-so... haha!"

Wang Feng made a joke with a smile, and Su Yan scoffed.

"Now that your problem is solved, shouldn't our problem be solved too...?"

Hearing Su Yan ask this question, Wang Feng knew what she meant...

But his playful nature got the better of him, and he decided to tease Su Yan.

"us?"

"What's going on between us?"

After he finished speaking, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone…

"Feed..."

Hearing Su Yan's silence, Wang Feng wondered if he shouldn't have said that...

"Hey, um... I was just kidding... Of course I know what you're talking about... I..."

"Ouch!"

Just then, a cry of pain came from the phone...

"Hey, you little rascal... What does it have to do with me that he's teasing you on purpose... Why are you pulling my beard...?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was shocked, and felt a lump in his throat.

Because he recognized the voice as belonging to none other than his grandfather…

"Alright, alright, let go..."

"I'll let you get engaged...no, I'll let you get married right here, okay?...Ouch...it hurts so much..."

Hearing his grandfather's helpless voice on the phone... Wang Feng suddenly laughed...

Successful career, family...

May you be blessed with happiness and good health!

Isn't this the happiest moment of life...?

...The End...
