In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

The leaders and cadres of Oasis City did not actually know the details of Sun Yikun's downfall.

After all, the time was too short, and Sun Yikun was taken away directly in the province, so the specific details have not yet been revealed. Many people are just hearing rumors.

Most people find it hard to believe because Sun Yikun's appointment as the Party Secretary of Oasis City was approved by the Provincial Party Committee. However, it has only been a short time since then, and Sun Yikun has been dismissed and investigated. Doesn't this mean that the Provincial Party Committee has made a mistake in personnel selection?

Many people still hold onto hope that the information may be wrong.

However, today...

When the Oasis Municipal Party Committee Office issued a notice to convene a meeting of all leading cadres in the city, everyone knew that the news was true.

When Li Zhixing appeared on the podium, and when Liu Timing, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization, personally came to see Li Zhixing off to his new post, everything was already set in stone.

It's not unheard of for the provincial Party Committee's Organization Minister to personally escort a municipal Party Secretary to his new post, but such instances almost always occur when the newly appointed municipal Party Secretary is a deputy provincial-level official.

As for Li Zhixing, it had long been rumored that he was a reserve cadre for the deputy provincial level. If it weren't for the unexpected incident caused by the Sun family, he would have become a deputy provincial level cadre sooner or later, even if he hadn't come to Oasis.

Now that the Li family has fallen but has been reinstated, what does this signify? Many people dare not think too much about it.

Zhao Mingyuan was probably the most anxious person today, without a doubt.

He knew better than anyone else who Li Zhixing was!

This is Li Feitu's uncle, who was rumored to be coming to Oasis City to serve as the city's party secretary. However, they lost to the Sun family, which made Zhao Mingyuan happy for many days. After all, he had played a significant role in the matter.

But now, it's all over. The happier you were then, the more miserable you'll probably be crying now.

Regardless of what others thought, the Oasis City leadership meeting was held on time at 8:30 a.m.

Minister Liu of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department personally made a statement, indicating that the Provincial Party Committee has zero tolerance for illegal and disciplinary violations. No matter who is involved or what level they are, as long as they dare to violate discipline, engage in corruption, or stand against the people, the Qingjiang Provincial Party Committee will investigate thoroughly and will never tolerate it.

Sun Yikun is one example, but he is just the beginning.

After making a statement on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, Minister Liu personally explained Li Zhixing's resume, affirmed Li Zhixing's work and abilities, and asked the party members and cadres of Oasis City to unite under the new Oasis City Party Committee with Comrade Li Zhixing as its leader.

Following that was Li Zhixing's speech and statement.

Li Zhixing's speech was brief, and unlike Sun Yikun, he did not lash out at anyone during the meeting.

In Li Zhixing's view, such a thing was completely unnecessary.

After checking the time, Li Zhixing said into the microphone, "Today is my first day in office, but I won't go into the usual stuff."

"Just one thing: I hope everyone will cooperate with my work so that we can work together to boost the economy of Oasis City and make a real contribution to the people of Oasis City."

"It's 9 a.m. now. The leaders of the Linjiang Provincial Party and Government Delegation will arrive at our oasis around 11 a.m. Everyone should know the specific itinerary."

"Then, let's get everything ready."

"There's one more thing I need to tell you all. The leadership team of Oasis City will be adjusted soon. Also, all personnel adjustments made during Sun Yikun's tenure are temporarily frozen, pending re-examination by the organization."

"Please don't overthink it. After all, Sun Yikun committed serious violations of discipline and law. He rushed to make personnel changes as soon as he arrived at Oasis. Whether there is something fishy going on or whether there is any abuse of power for personal gain, nobody knows."

"Therefore, the municipal party committee made this decision out of caution and for everyone's sake."

These words caused a slight stir in the meeting room.

Li Zhixing ignored this and continued, "In addition, some people may already know, while others may not, but Lu Ming, the executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, is currently in our Oasis City. He may ask some people to assist in the investigation. So, if the staff of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection finds you, please cooperate and support the work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

Li Zhixing said it was a brief speech, and it was indeed extremely brief, lasting only a few minutes.

However, although he didn't say anything harsh, he had already made many people feel Li Zhixing's decisive and efficient nature.

At this moment, many people looked at Zhao Mingyuan, whose face was pale.

Everyone knows that if the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection were to investigate, the first person who wouldn't escape would be Zhao Mingyuan.

Zhao Mingyuan was also very clear about this.

The happier, more excited, and more arrogant they were before, the more desperate they are now.

All of this felt like a dream to Zhao Mingyuan.

Just a few days ago, he became Sun Yikun's confidant and was listed as a candidate for deputy director-level position. If nothing goes wrong, he will soon assume the position of county party secretary of Linchuan County in the capacity of a city leader.

With great power in his hands, fame and fortune at his disposal, he was living a life of great glory!

But now, all of this has become a pipe dream. Not to mention city leaders or deputy provincial-level officials, he himself is unlikely to keep his position as county party secretary. The most likely outcome is that he will be taken away for investigation by the provincial discipline inspection commission, just like Li Feitu before him.

No, his fate will be even worse than Li Feitu's!

The more Zhao Mingyuan thought about it, the more frightened and saddened he became.

He can't have this ending; this isn't what he wanted.

As the crowd dispersed, Zhao Mingyuan jogged toward Li Zhixing's office.

He knew that Li Zhixing didn't want to see him, especially since he was with the provincial party committee's organization minister at the moment. But he had no choice. If he didn't fight for a way out for himself now, he would really have no way out.

While Li Zhixing and Minister Liu of the Organization Department were chatting in the meeting room, Zhao Mingyuan had already arrived at the door of the meeting room, eager to see Li Zhixing.

However, Deputy Secretary-General Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee stopped Zhao Mingyuan in front of the reception room.

"Secretary Zhao, Secretary Li and Minister Liu are talking inside. If you have anything to say, you can talk to them later."

Let's talk about it later?

Is there a future?

Zhao Mingyuan looked at Deputy Secretary-General Zhang with a bitter expression, his face even showing a pleading look.

"Secretary-General Zhang, we usually have a good relationship, could you please make an exception and do me a favor? I have something important to report to Secretary Li, and I would appreciate it if you could inform him of it, would that be alright?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Secretary-General Zhang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Secretary Zhao, what are you saying? I don't remember having a particularly good relationship with you. We just have a normal working relationship and don't have much contact on a daily basis. I'm not worthy of your status."

"As for informing you?"

"Secretary Zhao, you should go back. I wouldn't dare disturb Secretary Li and Minister Liu."

"Of course, if you insist on waiting, then you can wait here. But I advise you to use this time to go back to work and think about other things; it's not of any use."

After saying that, Deputy Secretary-General Zhang fell silent.

But the implication was clear: she was not only severing ties with Zhao Mingyuan, but also showing no mercy whatsoever.

This attitude was within Zhao Mingyuan's expectations, but it made him even more uneasy.
