A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

On the other side of the Laoqiao Town Judicial Office, in the office of Director Zhou Jianxin.

Zhou Jianxin was also wondering at this moment, was Chen Hai really not coming back?

How long has he been absent from work? Does he want to quit?!

He's not answering my calls or replying to my messages. What does that mean?!

What kind of nonsense is this! I (Wang Li's) wife still don't believe it. What kind of job can he find?

After a while, when there's no food left, I guess I'll be back soon.

When Chen Hai comes back, I'll see what I say to him! I'll see how I discipline him!

So arrogant! Doesn't he even know his own limitations? Damn it! Doesn't he know he's the leader? Doesn't Chen Hai even understand how to respect his superiors?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, until he stood up and started pacing back and forth.

Just then, the phone in Zhou Jianxin's office rang.

Zhou Jianxin glanced at the number; it was a mobile phone number. Could it be Chen Hai?

Damn it! I'll teach him a lesson right now!

After Zhou Jianxin picked up the phone, in order to make Chen Hai feel his anger and his superior attitude, he spoke in an extremely arrogant tone.

"Hello? This is Zhou Jianxin, the director of the Laoqiao Town Judicial Office! Who are you looking for?"

Chapter 479 We've brought honor to our company!

The other party seemed quite angry after hearing Zhou Jianxin's arrogant tone.

"Comrade Zhou Jianxin, I am Li Yiming, the mayor of Laokou Town!"

Zhou Jianxin was standing tall with his chest puffed out, lips pursed, and one hand on his hip, looking incredibly smug.

Upon suddenly hearing that the other party was the mayor of his old town, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Oh no! Oh no! I've misused my official power and targeted the wrong person.

"Mayor Li, I didn't know it was you! I thought it was someone else!"

Li Yiming was clearly still unhappy, and his tone remained harsh.

"Zhou Jianxin, it seems what others said about you is true!"

Zhou Jianxin seemed somewhat surprised after hearing Li Yiming's words. What did he mean by saying that what others said about his problems were true?

What's the problem? Who said it? What did they say?

Before Zhou Jianxin could react, Li Yiming continued.

"Comrade Zhou Jianxin, you should quickly organize Wang Shanwen and Li Xia from your judicial office to prepare. Minister Wang Fengchao from the Organization Department of Linkou County, along with several comrades, will be arriving at your judicial office soon. They specifically request to see you, Wang Shanwen, and Li Xia."

At this point, Li Yiming paused for a moment before continuing.

"I'm on my way too, I'll be there soon!"

After saying this, Li Yiming hung up the phone.

After Li Yiming hung up the phone, Zhou Jianxin was very excited and immediately ran to Wang Shanwen and Li Xia's office.

Wang Shanwen held the newspaper, his mouth still maintaining an arrogant posture.

"Handong Province is looking for another big news story. A vice governor suddenly died of a heart attack during a meeting, and now another vice governor is being investigated because of a watch worth millions!"

After listening to Wang Shanwen's words, Li Xia looked out the window with an indifferent expression.

"What do these news stories have to do with us? People like us, let alone a vice governor, we'll never even see a deputy county head in our entire lives. We'll never have a chance to be promoted, but we'll still have a stable job, and we'll never be demoted."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shanwen suddenly smiled.

"I remember Chen Hai, didn't he say he was going to fire both of us?"

Upon hearing Wang Shanwen's words, Li Xia burst into laughter again.

"You believe that?! He even said he'd fire Director Zhou too!"

Upon hearing Li Xia's words, Wang Shanwen pointed directly at the newspaper.

"As stated above, the unfortunate passing of He Dongfeng, the vice governor of Handong Province, and the downfall of Wang Shenhao, the vice governor, demonstrate Governor Qi Tongwei's clear attitude of zero tolerance for corruption."

As he spoke, Wang Shanwen looked at Li Xia behind him.

"Look at that, Chen Hai's brother-in-law is so bold! He scared one person to death and still managed to take down another!"

Upon hearing Wang Shanwen's words, Li Xia could no longer contain herself.

"Hehehe! Teacher Shanwen, aren't you afraid of your brother-in-law being so amazing?"

Upon hearing Li Xia's words, Wang Shanwen also laughed, bending over backwards while holding the newspaper in his hand.

At this moment, Zhou Jianxin hurriedly arrived at the office.

"Li Xia, Shan Wen, hurry! Go and prepare the meeting room! The town mayor will be here with the higher-ups soon!"

Li Xia's eyes widened when she heard this. Her remote workplace was going to have a leader from above come?

"Township Mayor? Chief Zhou, which leader from above is coming?"

Zhou Jianxin seemed very anxious for a moment.

"It's the head of the county's organization department!"

After hearing Zhou Jianxin's words, Wang Shanwen looked at Li Xia behind him.

"Just now, Teacher Li Xia said she had never seen a county head in her life, and now here comes a deputy county-level leader!"

Li Xia pursed her lips after hearing Wang Shanwen's words.

"What's the use of a deputy county-level leader? They come but don't even meet with us low-level cadres. Director Zhou just told us to prepare our offices; it's not like the leader wants to see us!"

After hearing this, Wang Shanwen felt that Li Xia made sense.

(cgbh) I wonder what the head of the Organization Department of Linkou County is doing here. Is it because my director, Zhou Jianxin, is going to be promoted again?

No way! No one has ever been promoted after leaving this judicial office.

I have been working in this judicial office for thirty years now, and I have never seen anyone get promoted from here.

Just then, Zhou Jianxin said anxiously.

"What?! Mayor Li just called me personally and said that Wang Fengchao, the Minister of the Organization Department of Linkou County, specifically wants to see the three of us!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xia pointed to herself in great surprise.

"Me?! Did a high-ranking official from the county specifically request to see me?"

Li Xia's face instantly lit up with surprise.

What incredible wealth is about to befall me?

Why would such a high-ranking leader from the county want to see me? Especially a leader who is in charge of cadres!

Wang Shanwen was also surprised to hear this. Why did they specifically ask to see him and Li Xia?

Could it be that the tea I gave Zhou Jianxin had some effect?

That doesn't make sense! The Laoqiao Town Judicial Office is short of a deputy director, so why did they call us both over?

Is Zhou Jianxin really going to be promoted?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jianxin glanced at Wang Shanwen, who was also beaming with joy. He was so happy! Usually, the people who love to welcome the leaders in charge of cadres are the ones who are in charge of the cadres. This means that a promotion is coming!

If Zhou Jianxin really did create this miracle, would he be promoted to director and Li Xia to deputy director?

This shouldn't be the case; it wasn't arranged this way.

Is it possible that after Zhou Jianxin leaves, one of the existing deputy directors will be promoted to director, and then I and Li Xia will be promoted to deputy directors? This would be the most plausible scenario, but can everyone in our department be promoted to deputy director? This seems a bit unconventional, doesn't it?

Thinking of this, Wang Shanwen looked at the empty seat in front of Chen Hai.

Who said it was just one department? I was just thinking that Li Xia and I had brought honor to our department!

Seeing Chen Hai's position now makes me feel ashamed!

If the county's organization department were to announce today that Li Xia and I had become deputy directors, it would definitely bring honor to the department!

If Director Zhou Jianxin is promoted again, breaking the precedent that no one can be promoted from the Laoqiao Town Judicial Office, that will definitely be an honor for the entire Laoqiao Town!

It's all that Chen Hai! He's dragging everyone down and bringing shame to the department and the Laoqiao Town Judicial Office!

Chapter 480 The Opportunity to Change Your Fate Has Arrived

Wang Shanwen became increasingly excited, and for a moment he couldn't contain himself. Before Zhou Jianxin could answer Li Xia's question, he blurted out:

"Director Zhou, I'd like to know if Minister Wang from the county's Organization Department only specifically mentioned a few of us, or if he mentioned other people from our unit as well?"

Wang Shanwen was very clever. As long as there was a deputy director of the Laoqiao Town Judicial Office among those named by the county's Organization Department Minister today, then without a doubt, it was the result he had just guessed.

However, Wang Shanwen believed that this must be the case, and he was sure he was right about 80-90% sure, otherwise there would be no way to explain it.

Zhou Jianxin still seemed somewhat anxious after hearing Wang Shanwen's words.

Then, he looked at Li Xia again.

"You two stop asking so many questions! The leaders are almost here! I need to go to the entrance to greet Mayor Li and Minister Wang!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shanwen realized he hadn't gotten the answer he wanted, but it was probably not much different from what he had guessed.

After Zhou Jianxin finished speaking, he walked out, feeling very excited as he went.

I never expected that the leaders from the county's organization department would come. Could it be that they're really going to promote me?

But why specifically name Li Xia and Wang Shanwen? Zhou Jianxin couldn't quite understand this.

After Zhou Jianxin left, Li Xia still had her mouth wide open, looking excited.

This doesn't mean I'm going to meet a high-ranking official at the deputy county level, but rather that I'm very likely to be noticed by a deputy county-level official who is a county-level cadre!

Otherwise, why would they specifically ask to see me?

As Li Xia pondered this, she picked up the mirror on the table and looked at herself.

Am I really that beautiful? When did I accidentally captivate the top leader of Linkou County?

Wang Shanwen had already stood up, and he looked at Li Xia behind him with a smug expression.

"Director Li, let's go prepare the meeting room!"
