Nominal: Student Union? The school's Youth League Committee!

This is a real deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. Although it's mostly a nominal position, who would underestimate a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee?

Even if they want to improve, without this person's approval, there's a good chance they won't get promoted.

In the past, I had only seen this person on TV or on my phone, through a screen.

Even if there were a chance to attend a meeting with this person, they would be sitting at the top, in the center.

And him? He's probably way down the list, so far that you can't even hear him.

Although his own secretary, the municipal party secretary, Li Dakang, is also a member of the provincial party committee standing committee.

However, compared to this person, there is still a significant gap. Even their municipal party secretary, Secretary Dakang, is not someone they can see often.

This was the only time he saw Secretary Dakang, but he was summoned over.

He thought his chance had finally come, but little did he know that it was all a trap, designed specifically to ensnare him.

Now, he's almost stuck in a rut, unable to go up or down.

If he were to actually step down, it would likely result in a fall. Therefore, this time, someone approached him, and it was even Secretary Yuliang. Although he was caught in a dilemma...

But it still happened in the end. Of course he knew about the Han University gang led by Secretary Yu Liang, but he didn't know about the Handong branch either.

Now he's just someone who, along with others, is referred to as the leader of the Han University gang.

There's also the secretarial clique led by Secretary Dakang, whose relationships with each other aren't very good.

Secretary Yuliang sending someone to contact him certainly wasn't because he valued his abilities.

If they valued it, they would have valued it long ago, and things wouldn't be like this now.

They probably summoned me here because they want me to do something, to become a pawn in the power struggle between these two big shots.

But what can he do?

If this continues, he might not even qualify as a pawn anymore, and might even be crushed into dust.

In the world of fame and fortune, one is often not in control of one's own destiny, a situation that is even more vividly illustrated in this arena of fame and fortune.

He would either fight to the death or simply wait to die.

He didn't want to die such a pathetic death, so he came.

Even if in the end, Secretary Yuliang asks me to do something very difficult, I can still choose the lesser of two evils, right?

Taking all this into consideration, Lü Gang accepted Secretary Yu Liang's arrangement for the meeting and appeared in the private room. However, upon entering, just as he was about to greet Secretary Yu Liang...

There was another person nearby who was looking in that direction.

"Yu, Governor Wenbo?" Lu Gang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"What? You're surprised to see me?" Wang Wenbo asked, noticing Lü Gang's expression.

People like them, unless they are in front of their superiors and deliberately put on certain expressions or dare not have any ulterior motives, are completely authentic, nine-tenths, eight-tenths, or seven-tenths of their true selves.

That's how such an expression might be revealed, but now, Wang Wenbo and the others have seen it.

"It was an accident, no, no, I just..." Lu Gang tried to explain.

"Alright, Comrade Lü Gang!" Gao Yuliang smiled gently, like a professor instructing a student.

"Please sit down. Is there anything you're wondering about? I'll answer it for you, okay?"

"No, I wouldn't dare!" Lü Gang sat down cautiously in front of them.

Standing before me was Gao Yuliang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

To his right front is Wang Wenbo, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Governor.

To his left was Qi Tongwei, the director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, who controlled the entire police force of Handong Province. He was Gao Yuliang's top disciple, the number two figure in the Handong Gang, and the man plotting to become the deputy provincial governor.

He felt as if a prehistoric crocodile was sitting in front of him, a nonchalant Siberian tiger was sitting to his right, and a leopard was sitting to his left, ready to take his life at any moment.

He was all alone, like a pitiful little lamb, bleating softly.

When he arrived, he had just read some history books, and he had read about the things that happened after the war, about that country where the sun never sets.

He was sitting to the left of a brown bear with one leg crossed over the other, and to the right of a huge American bison. He himself was just a poor little donkey.

When I first saw this scene and heard this account, I almost laughed. It was pathetic, truly pathetic, sitting next to those two.

But now? He felt that he was the one who was truly pitiful.

He can now fully understand what this guy was feeling when he said those things back then.

No, he's even more pathetic than that smoking guy now.

By then, it was all over. Although he might have to give up some benefits, his own situation wouldn't be too serious.

But he himself isn't!

I feel like I'm being interrogated by three judges, trembling with fear, as the moment to decide my fate is approaching.

Facing these three, the pressure is immense.

"Yu Liang, Secretary Yu Liang!" Lü Gang asked cautiously.

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

Upon hearing Lü Gang's words, both Gao Yuliang and Wang Wenbo couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

Of course, only at the front.

Goodness, Yu Liang even shouted it out?

You've really gone against the Heavenly Gang! Yu Liang? Is that something you can just call out?

Anyone who didn't know better would think you and Secretary Yuliang had some kind of secret relationship.

Wang Wenbo also felt that this guy was really bold; could he really be like Sun Liancheng, completely disregarding everything now?

He addressed Li Dakang by his full name and slammed his fist on the table with him.

He doesn't seem like that kind of person!

Only after they finished speaking did they regain their composure.

I was just too nervous.

"Comrade Lü Gang, look, you're nervous again?"

"We're all comrades, and none of us are prehistoric beasts that will eat people!" Gao Yuliang joked simply.

But Lü Gang couldn't laugh anymore. This joke wasn't funny at all. To me, weren't you all just wild beasts? Wild beasts can eat people.

"Relax!" Kao Yu-liang gently advised.

"Yes, yes!" Lü Gang still maintained his cautious demeanor.

At the same time, brainstorming has begun; it's impossible for the mind to remain confused forever.

Now I'm starting to wonder, how did these two find me?

I've never heard of these two before, what connection do they have?

Why are they looking for me in such a private place? Could it be that the two of them have secretly formed an alliance?

If that's the case, then their power has increased far too much.

It mainly refers to the power at the top.

Secretary Dakang is working so hard now, trying his best to smooth things over, and he knows why.

Isn't it just the position of provincial governor?

Even the numerous exchanges between Secretary Dakang and Governor Wenbo were no secret to them.

Previously, because of his own situation, he didn't pay much attention to these things, but he had heard about them.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all. Could it be that the two of them set a trap for Secretary Dakang?

Those who reach this position, no, even those who can get in and make it big, are never fools.

Let alone a deputy mayor at the provincial level, even a deputy section chief could see that something was wrong.

If the two of them join forces, what chance does Secretary Dakang have of winning?

Even though Secretary Dakang and the provincial party secretary are getting closer now, compared to the two of them, he probably doesn't have much hope.

The provincial party secretary has great power, more than everyone else in Handong.

But after all, they are newly arrived, parachuted-in cadres. Even with Secretary Dakang included, it's uncertain whether they can stand on equal footing with them.

Not to mention wanting to rise to a higher position; and while it's uncertain whether you can actually get promoted, it would be incredibly easy to bring you down.
