Xu Qianli came forward and directly targeted Zhang Dongyang, publicly criticizing his personnel arrangements, practically slapping Zhang Dongyang in the face.
Many gasped in shock.
Damn, this guy is too fierce, attacking the new County Party Secretary right off the bat. Isn’t he afraid of retaliation?
Not only is Zhang Dongyang the County Party Secretary, but he also has the "Imperial Sword" by his side. You, Xu Qianli, are just a Deputy County Magistrate. What makes you think you can challenge Zhang Dongyang?
Zeng Changyun was the first to jump out, furiously pointing at Xu Qianli and bellowing,
"Xu Qianli, enough is enough!"
"Secretary Zhang is our top leader in Jiang City, and he has support from the city level, agreeing to his selecting a few candidates in Jiang City to quickly get him into working condition."
"Questioning Secretary Zhang is questioning the decisions of the city level. Are you trying to rebel?"
"I advise you to apologize to Secretary Zhang immediately, or no one can protect you!"
Ding Biao also stood up, "Xu Qianli, I know you have a bias against me, but you surely wouldn’t dare to disregard the city level, would you?"
Xu Qianli said, "You two really love to pin labels, but I’m not interested in taking it. I won’t comment on the city’s decision—it’s not my place. But when it comes to matters in the county, I, Xu Qianli, still have a say!"
Zeng Changyun said, "Then I’d like to hear it, what insights do you have?"
"It’s nothing profound. I simply think that Secretary Zhang’s personnel arrangements have serious issues."
"Secretary Zhang has just arrived in Jiang City and doesn’t understand any of you. Is it really appropriate to assign you to important positions?
"I know that Secretary Zhang is eager to start work, but this approach is too rushed. What if he’s deceived by someone who’s good at pretense?"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao immediately became displeased, exchanging glances, their eyes full of fury.
What a move by Xu Qianli, targeting them so clearly without outrightly saying they were problematic.
Xu Qianli is really overbearing!
Ding Biao was so angry he gritted his teeth, and Zeng Changyun quickly retorted, "Then I must ask, on what basis do you make these statements? If you don’t have solid evidence, this is blatant defamation! The nature of this is extremely serious, and you must take responsibility for your words!"
Ding Biao said, "Exactly, I also want to see if you, Xu Qianli, have any dirt on us, otherwise your accusations are blatant defamation!"
Everyone’s eyes focused on Xu Qianli.
This guy, in an attempt to prevent Zhang Dongyang from promoting Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, dared to indicate they were problematic, and now they had caught him in his own words, eager to see how he would extricate himself.
Falsely defaming colleagues is a serious matter.
Zhang Dongyang looked at Xu Qianli with a smirk, "Since Vice County Magistrate Xu says so, he must have some confidence. I’d like to see it. But if there isn’t anything, don’t blame me, the new County Party Secretary, for being impolite. It’s time to make an example and straighten out the officialdom air in Jiang City!"
"Since Secretary Zhang you said so, I also won’t hold back."
"I have a very special video in my hands. I was thinking of handing it over to Secretary Zhang at the right time, considering whether to report it to the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee."
"Now, since the situation has developed to this point, I can’t care that much. I might as well reveal it publicly, letting everyone take a look."
Xu Qianli spoke, took out his phone, found the projection option in the guest house, and broadcast a video onto the big screen in the banquet hall.
The audience looked on, only to see a private room inside a spa, where several people were soaking in a steaming hot spring.
Among those people were notably Zhang Kuisan and Li Weiguo, who had already been double-regulated, as well as Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao.
Near these men were scantily-clad women keeping them company.
Especially Ding Biao, who was sitting by the side of the pool, letting a beautiful woman bury her head to serve him...
This scene made many female comrades’ cheeks turn red, particularly those who were not yet married.
Zhang Kuisan, hugging two beauties, was both flirting and discussing plans with Zeng Changyun, Ding Biao, and Li Weiguo about how to deal with Lan Qianrong, slowly deciding to completely sideline her and kick her out of Jiang City in disgrace.
When Zhang Kuisan became the County Magistrate, Zeng Changyun would be the Deputy County Magistrate, Li Weiguo would also be promoted, and Ding Biao would benefit as well, with all four immensely satisfied.
At the height of their enjoyment, both Zhang Kuisan and Li Weiguo were getting intimate with the beauties, only Zeng Changyun found an excuse to leave.
Watching this video, both Zeng Changyun’s and Ding Biao’s faces turned pale as ghosts.
Damn it, how had their conspiracy with Zhang Kuisan and Li Weiguo been discovered, how had it come to be known?
Not only had it become known, but it was also filmed and ended up in the hands of Xu Qianli!
It’s over, utterly ruined now.
They had thought they were on their way up, had believed that by capturing Zhang Dongyang’s favor, their futures were guaranteed bright, only to face such a downfall.
Ruined, truly ruined!
Zhang Dongyang’s expression wasn’t looking good either.
Upon arriving in Jiang City, his first move to control the city involved cozying up to Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, making them members of the County Committee.
He had thought that with the "Imperial Sword" given by the city, no one could stop this.
Yet, Xu Qianli had unexpectedly jumped out and released this video.
With such a video released, exposing the disgraceful acts of Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, there was no way they’d get promoted now; they were utterly finished.
Xu Qianli’s move was ruthless, thoroughly undermining them; it was incredibly harsh and imperious!
No wonder Fu Guotai had been kicked out of Jiang City by him; it seemed this guy really had some tricks up his sleeve, Zhang Dongyang had underestimated him.
With things having progressed this far, Zhao Mei also had no solutions, her face cold as she scolded Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, saying it was disappointing that they were in cahoots with Zhang Kuisan and Li Weiguo and had engaged in such activities behind the scenes, betraying the organization’s trust in them.
Zhao Mei further stated that she would deal with the matter seriously, would notify the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee to start an investigation into the two, and once the issues were clarified, they would definitely pursue their responsibilities severely!
Bothered by this scandal, Zhao Mei also left without any brilliance in her face.
Zhang Dongyang gave Xu Qianli a sinister glance and then also departed.
On his first day in office, he had fiercely intimidated everyone in Jiang City’s officialdom, then began to promote and support his people, thinking he could easily control the situation.
But Xu Qianli’s move had completely disrupted his plans, catching him off guard, leaving him with no way to respond.
At this critical moment, he could only leave temporarily to think of other strategies.
As for Zeng Changyun and Ding Biao, he was too indifferent and helpless to bother with them anymore.
