The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 205: Reshuffle of the Jiang City Officialdom!

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Reshuffle of the Jiang City Officialdom!

First, City Organization Minister Zhao Mei severely criticized Jiang City County Government’s personnel dismissal and appointment of Xu Qianli, followed by the double designation of Jiang Fiber Organization Minister Huang Liqiang.

These two incidents, like two heavy bombs exploding, caused an uproar, and shook the entire Jiang City officialdom.

The Jiang City officialdom had been exceedingly restless over the past two months, ever since the former County Magistrate’s unexpected death.

Everyone had thought that since Zhang Kuisan was double designated and Ge Changhong was thoroughly defeated at this morning’s standing committee meeting, the future trend of Jiang City’s bureaucracy was set, and Lan Qianrong would dominate from now on.

Who could have known that such a big event would happen today, whether it was Zhao Mei’s criticism of the County Government’s personnel arrangements or Huang Liqiang’s double designation, it was clear to all that it was aimed at Lan Qianrong.

Xu Qianli was dismissed because of Lan Qianrong’s maneuver.

At this morning’s executive meeting, Huang Liqiang, as Jiang City’s Organization Minister, even stood on Lan Qianrong’s side and stabbed Ge Changhong in the back, causing Ge Changhong to suffer a devastating defeat.

Lan Qianrong, who was enjoying her triumph, got indirectly scolded by Zhao Mei for dismissing Xu Qianli, and Huang Liqiang, who had just shifted to her side, was also double designated, dealing her a huge blow.

It looked like Jiang City officialdom wouldn’t be able to settle down for a while.

Not long after, two more startling pieces of news reached Jiang City.

City Organization Minister Zhao Mei actually recognized Jiang City County Secretary Ge Changhong’s daughter, Ge Pingping, as her sworn younger sister!

The City Disciplinary Inspection Committee even hinted that there had been a clear deterioration in Jiang City officialdom over recent years, with three former County Party Secretaries double designated before, and now the Deputy County Magistrate Zhang Kuisan and Organization Minister Huang Liqiang’s downfall, indicating severe issues, with plans to conduct a focused investigation in Jiang City.

These two pieces of news deeply shocked everyone in Jiang City officialdom.

Clearly, City Organization Zhao Mei and a big shot of the City Disciplinary Committee were Ge Changhong’s backers, seeing that Ge Changhong suffered a great loss to Lan Qianrong at Jiang City’s standing committee meeting, they explicitly showed strong support for Ge Changhong.

Then everyone realized that Ge Changhong, who was always tepid and played the good guy, managing to offend few, actually had such powerful backing.

For a moment, many in the Jiang City officialdom were frightened.

Especially those who had sided with Lan Qianrong at today’s standing committee meeting, agreeing to promote Fan Wenbin as the new Party Secretary of Qingshan Town, were terrified like startled birds, hastily running to House Number One in the County Committee Family Courtyard to apologize to Ge Changhong.

Those wavering opportunists couldn’t help but reevaluate Ge Changhong’s clout, seemingly far weightier than Lan Qianrong.

Suddenly, a great many people visited the County Committee Family Courtyard to see Ge Changhong.

Ge Changhong hid in his home, refusing visitors, seeing no one who came.

Wang Shufen pushed through another group of visitors and entered the inner room, saying to Ge Changhong, "Old Ge, continuing like this isn’t really doing you any good. With things looking up for you now, shouldn’t you be making an appearance to rally people’s hearts?"

"Do you still not see the current situation?"

"What people’s hearts, it’s just about interests. Without any benefits, who can you rally?"

"I may be a County Party Secretary, but when Lan Qianrong had me looking pathetic at the standing committee meeting today, each and every one of them just thought about laughing at me, even plotting to step on me."

"And now? With Lan Qianrong scolded by Minister Zhao and Huang Liqiang double designated by the City Disciplinary Committee, those bastards are running over to suck up to me—I can’t be bothered with them."

"Not to mention ignoring them, even if I went out now and gave them a beating, they would still obediently listen tomorrow."

"It’s all thanks to Xu Qianli; he said he could easily turn the situation around, and he really did it."

""""Such tactics really scared the hell out of me.""

"I bet Lan Qianrong’s not having a good time right now."

"She thought she had everything under control, that she could even trample on me, Ge Changhong, and rule over Jiang City. But then she got hit so hard, it’s going to take her a while to recover from that."

The more Ge Changhong talked, the happier he got. The taste of releasing the pent-up resentment was just too exhilarating.

It was all thanks to Xu Qianli. If it hadn’t been for him, he would probably be just waiting for retirement in disgrace.

Wang Shufen said with a laugh, "Isn’t that the truth? Young Xu is a promising lad. Having our Pingping follow him, she’s found herself a good destination. Only thing is, I’ve heard that his personal life is quite messy, with many beautiful women around him. Have you heard about this?"

Ever since her precious daughter got involved with Xu Qianli, Wang Shufen had been paying close attention to Xu Qianli and hadn’t spared any effort going around asking about him.

She had heard that not only were Xu Qianli and his ex-girlfriend Xu Shuman still in a complicated relationship, but he also got involved with a female teacher from Qingshan Town. He even beat up Li Zhu’s son for that woman.

Besides that, he seemed to have an affair with that dame Lan Qianrong too. It was said that Zhang Kuisan spilled the beans about them spending a night together at the Regent Hotel in the city.

Ge Changhong said, "That’s young people’s business; you old lady shouldn’t meddle in it. Haven’t you noticed, a fine young man like him is hard to find. You think only our family’s Pingping has good eyes? Others can’t see his worth? Anyway, Xu Qianli has promised me that he will marry Pingping and will not let her down."

"As long as Young Xu has given his word, that’s good."

"Honey, Yuntian has called me several times, wanting to apologize to you. What do you think?"

After Wang Shufen mentioned it, Ge Changhong flew into a rage and fiercely waved his hand.

"Don’t talk to me about that ingrate!"

"I treated him like my own son, and he sold me out. I will never forgive him!"

"Tell him to either write his resignation or I’ll have the Disciplinary Committee investigate him!"

Ge Changhong was genuinely furious with Ge Yuntian. If it weren’t for the fact that he was his elder brother’s son, he would have had the Disciplinary Committee take care of him long ago.

Meanwhile, in Zhongzhou City, Xu Qianli arrived at a particularly special place, the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee’s courtyard, and entered Teng Ziyin’s office.

After closing the door, Teng Ziyin threw herself into Xu Qianli’s arms, stood on tiptoe, and delivered a kiss, coyly saying, "Dear, what brings you here?"

Xu Qianli held Teng Ziyin’s slender waist tightly, embracing her, "Firstly, I came especially to thank you for helping me take down Huang Liqiang. Additionally, I’m a bit injured and wanted to find you, a beautiful woman, to help heal my wounds."

Teng Ziyin appeared somewhat bewildered.

"Heal wounds?"

"What happened to you?"

"Besides, if you’re injured, shouldn’t you be seeing a doctor? Why come to me, and how can I help heal you?"

Xu Qianli said, "It’s not a physical injury I’ve suffered. Wounds like these can only be healed by a beautiful woman like you. As for how, it’s simple—I want you! Teng Ziyin, I want you!"

"No, we can’t, this is my office, and it’s still working hours. What if we get discovered?"

Teng Ziyin softly resisted, but to no avail, as she had already been lifted by Xu Qianli around the waist, quickly finding herself on the office desk.
