Official excuse: I've put you on patrol in Handong, and the whole province is in a panic.

At this moment, Li Wei also realized it.

Director Liu is tough!

Director Su is both tall and strong!

One phone call and I complained directly to their boss!

too strong!

If this is how they treat Director Liu, wouldn't it be even easier to take down other disobedient underlings, like cutting melons and vegetables?

Without hesitation, Li Wei immediately called the guards, who forcibly dragged Liu Ziming away.

After Liu Ziming left.

The meeting room was completely silent.

Everyone sat up straight, their previous relaxed, lazy, and absent-minded expressions completely gone. In their place was tension, solemnity, and a hint of awe.

The young team leader in front of them was far more ruthless and decisive than they had imagined.

He not only dared to stand up to the "second generation" with connections, but he also dared to make a direct phone call to a ministerial-level leader, and with just a few words, he forced the leader to express his support and promise to handle the matter.

This courage, this style of doing things, and the potential energy behind it...

This made the "backbone" personnel, who came from various ministries and considered themselves well-informed, feel uneasy.

Su Zhe acted as if nothing had happened, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"Alright, let's continue the meeting."

His voice rang out clearly in the quiet conference room.

"First, let me reiterate work discipline. Our mission this time is special in nature and carries great responsibility. No one may leave their post without approval; no work information may be disclosed to outsiders; during the work process, everyone must obey commands and cooperate as a team..."

This time, no one looked down, and no one played with their phone.

Everyone straightened their backs, listening attentively and taking notes.

Even if you don't understand, you have to listen; even if you just jot things down, you have to take notes...

This living devil in front of them is even more ruthless than their previous boss...

......

Inside the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission building.

Director Zhang Mingyuan hung up the phone with Su Zhe. His face, which was usually expressionless, was now so gloomy it looked like it could be wrung out.

"That Liu Ziming... he's more trouble than he's worth!"

Zhang Mingyuan cursed under his breath, a tightness gripping his chest.

He grabbed the phone on the table and dialed a number.

soon.

The phone rang.

Who is it?

Zhang Mingyuan's face was filled with anger.

"It's me! Zhang Mingyuan!"

"Director Zhang...Director Zhang!"

Zhang Mingyuan said coldly, "Liu Ziming, thank you! You still recognize me as the director! I thought you were the boss!"

You dare to criticize the working group dispatched by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? You dare to violate discipline and spout nonsense about such a serious matter!

Liu Ziming, do you think your dad can do whatever he wants? Call your father and ask him if he dares to do that!

After unleashing his tirade, Zhang Mingyuan was still not satisfied and shouted angrily, "You've completely disgraced the unit! Your father once wanted you to be a deputy director-general, bullshit! I'll strip you of that section chief title! Just wait for the unit's disciplinary action!"

Done.

Zhang Mingyuan hung up the phone.

That Liu Ziming is a disaster! I shouldn't have put him in the work group just because of his father. Now look what happened, he didn't get any experience, but instead got himself into trouble, and I'm going to suffer the consequences too.

He picked up the herbal tea on the table and took a big gulp. The icy liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the anger in his heart.

Just then, the red confidential telephone on the desk suddenly rang.

Zhang Mingyuan's heart tightened suddenly.

This phone isn't for important communications, so it won't ring.

He glanced at the caller ID and his heart nearly skipped a beat—he recognized the prefix number.

Zhang Mingyuan immediately stood up, straightened his slightly disheveled shirt and tie, took a deep breath to make sure his voice was normal, and then solemnly picked up the receiver.

"Hello, leader, I am Zhang Mingyuan from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

His tone was respectful and composed.

A stern voice came from the other end of the phone: "Comrade Mingyuan, hello, this is Sun Huai-ren."

Zhang Mingyuan immediately stood up straight.

"Hello, Mr. Sun! Please give me your instructions!"

"Hehe, it's not really an instruction."

Old Sun's voice remained calm and unhurried, "I heard that there was a little incident with the comrades from your State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's special working group sent to Handong? Hehe... Su Zhe didn't complain to me! I just heard about it myself!"

After all, this working group was set up by me. It was also an exploration of the special campaign against local corruption and an experiment in combining inspection work with case handling!

So I have indeed been keeping an eye on it.

A fine layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from Zhang Mingyuan's back.

The incident had only occurred a dozen minutes ago, yet Old Master Sun had already personally intervened!

Su Zhe held a place in Old Sun's heart far beyond his imagination!

He dared not conceal anything, much less shirk responsibility, and hurriedly said, "Old Sun, I am very sorry! This is a serious mistake on our part! Our selection of cadres was not rigorous enough, which led to Comrade Liu Ziming's serious violation of discipline at the work group meeting, disrupting the normal operation of the work group. I have just severely criticized him and ordered him to immediately return to his original unit to accept punishment. We will definitely conduct a thorough self-examination and resolutely correct our mistakes!"

"Hmm," Old Sun responded calmly, "Comrade Mingyuan, your attitude is good. We must be careful in selecting the personnel."

This special campaign to address the issues in Handong was a well-planned and carefully decided initiative, aimed at completely reversing the local political climate. The task was extremely challenging and of great significance.

Every member of the working group, especially the key members, must not only be highly skilled professionally, but more importantly, politically, disciplined, and exemplary in their conduct. They must be able to withstand the tests of complex environments. This is not a place for anyone to gain experience or prestige!

Old Sun paused for a moment, then raised his voice slightly: "Comrade Mingyuan, I hope you will take this matter seriously from a political and overall perspective, truly value it, and select capable personnel to fully support and cooperate with Comrade Su Zhe's work. It is crucial to ensure that the work group can focus wholeheartedly on the task at hand, and that our cadre issues do not cause them internal friction or resistance. This is of paramount importance."

Zhang Mingyuan's palms were sweaty as he held the receiver. He nodded repeatedly, even though the other person couldn't see him: "Yes, yes, Elder Sun, your instructions are very insightful. We will resolutely implement them! I assure you that we will learn from this lesson and immediately select the most capable and reliable cadres to replace Liu Ziming's work, absolutely guaranteeing the quality and combat effectiveness of the work group! We will resolutely support Comrade Su Zhe's work and will never allow any more mistakes to occur!"

"Good, it's good that you understand this." Old Sun's tone softened again. "Alright, I won't take up any more of your time."

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Sun! Please rest assured!" Zhang Mingyuan solemnly assured him again into the microphone.

Even after the busy tone came through the receiver, Zhang Mingyuan remained in the position of answering the phone for several seconds before slowly putting down the hot receiver.

He slumped into the chair, feeling as if he had just finished a marathon, completely exhausted.

"My God..." he muttered to himself, still shaken, "Old Master Sun personally called to inquire... Just who is this Su Zhe?"
