Zhang Wen's name

Back in his office, Sha Ruijin grew increasingly angry.

"You old scoundrel, you've gone too far! All you ever do is act like an old man and bully others. Why don't you dare act like an old man and bully Zhang Wen? You only do this because you think I'm honest and magnanimous."

Secretary Bai saw Sha Ruijin in his impotent rage again and curled his lip, saying, "Your mouth is the toughest thing you've got right now."

"Secretary Sha, Old Chen is, after all, your adoptive father. He's probably still angry with you. He's always very welcoming whenever I visit him."

"Xiaobai, I don't agree with that. We are government officials. We must be fair and impartial. Although Chen Yanshi is my adoptive father, I still have to enforce the law impartially. As for his continued blaming me, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Secretary Sha, I apologize. What you said is excellent. I will write it down. As Party cadres, we must set an example and be fair and impartial."

"Xiaobai, what do you think about me going to investigate? I want to go to the grassroots level and hear the voices of the people."

"Okay, Secretary Sha, I'll make the arrangements right away."

................................................

The Petition Center of Guangming District.

Sha Ruijin and Secretary Bai arrived at the Petition Bureau.

"Xiao Bai, who approved this window? Why is it so low? How are people supposed to get things done? And there's no glass either. What if an incident happens? Have you ever thought about being responsible to our staff?"

"Secretary Sha, this window seems to have been designed by that corrupt official Ding Yizhen. Governor Zhang saw that this window was so inconvenient, so he asked Secretary-General Sun to modify it."

"How come such a small window has passed through so many people and is still like this? Look at the cadres led by Zhang Wen, is this how they serve the people? Do they even care about the people's affairs?"

"Xiao Bai, call Sun Liancheng over right now. I want to see how he does things this way."

"Okay, Secretary Sha."

...................................................

Fifteen minutes later, Sun Liancheng arrived at the scene.

"Secretary Sha, what instructions do you have for me?"

"Secretary-General Sun, how dare I give you instructions? Everyone knows you're a favorite of Governor Zhang."

"Secretary Sha, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Besides, I'm a Party cadre, not someone's favorite."

"I came here today because I heard from the public that the reception window of the Guangming District Petition Bureau is inconvenient for people to handle their affairs."

"Secretary Sha, look how harmonious things are on site. Where is it difficult to get things done?"

"Sun Liancheng, haven't you noticed how rudimentary this petition office window is? Such a large petition office only has a dozen or so chairs, and they're all plastic. Is Handong really that poor? And that window is so low, it doesn't even have glass. What if an emergency happens? Why don't you modify it according to the standards of a bank?"

"Secretary Sha, I don't quite understand what you're saying. My approach to the renovation is perfectly reasonable. Besides, the bank renovation would cost over a million yuan, while my method only costs 1000 yuan. As Party cadres, we should cherish this hard-won fiscal revenue. Furthermore, Governor Zhang has inspected this window and said there are no problems."

"Sun Liancheng, I won't argue with you. Let's go and listen to the voice of the people."

Sha Ruijin immediately asked an elderly woman who was in line.

"Auntie, what do you think of our office? Is it convenient for you to get things done?"

"Hey comrade, how can you be so tactless? You look older than me, yet you call me 'auntie'."

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin immediately corrected his form of address.

"Hey girl, what do you think of the design of our office? Is it convenient for you to get things done? How are the staff's attitudes?"

"You've come to the right person. You must be the leader here for inspection. I recognized you immediately. I handle business frequently, and I've found that this office is the best."

"Hey girl, what's so great about this office? Could you tell me in detail?"

"Let me tell you, I've been to all the offices in Jingzhou City. This is the only office I've found where the staff are friendly and things are convenient. See those chairs? They're made of plastic, which is great. You can move them if you get tired of sitting on them, and most importantly, they won't freeze your bottom in winter. The best part is, they don't even have windows here. You know I'm over 50 years old, and my hearing isn't very good, so this makes things much more convenient for us."

Sha Ruijin was not very satisfied with this reply.

"Young lady, haven't you noticed how overly rudimentary our place is? It really damages the government's image."

"I'd say you're a bit lacking in awareness, comrade. Our government's money doesn't come from thin air. There are so many better things to do with that money." With that, the old woman left without doing her business, fuming.

Sun Liancheng was overjoyed. "Serves you right for showing off. You got roasted now."

"Secretary Sha, is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now. Our Provincial Party Committee Office has a lot of things to deal with, unlike you who have so much free time." After saying that, Sun Liancheng left.

Sha Ruijin was furious after hearing this.

"Xiao Bai, look at the attitude of these people. As expected, like general, like soldiers. These are the people Zhang Wen trained—arrogant and domineering."

Secretary Bai was speechless after hearing this. "You come here to cause trouble, and you don't even allow them to talk back? Do you think everyone has to go along with you like I do?" Another day of envying Huangshan.

"Yes, yes, Secretary Sha, you're absolutely right."

"Secretary Sha, are we still going to do some inspections later?"

"Go away, I don't believe that there are no problems in the place that Zhang Wen governs."
