Zhang Wen's name

Office of the Governor of Handong Province.

"Governor Zhang, I've recently noticed that Secretary Sha is looking for problems with us everywhere."

"Comrade Liancheng, I have to criticize you here. What do you mean by 'finding problems with us'? Secretary Sha is the provincial party secretary. It's his freedom to go wherever he wants to inspect. I heard from someone last time that you were a bit disrespectful to him. Even if Secretary Sha did something wrong, you can't just turn around and leave."

"Governor Zhang, I apologize. I was just furious at the time. You said you saw the window yourself, and the people were satisfied. Everyone was satisfied, yet he still kept finding fault. He kept saying he wanted to turn it into a bank-style window. Banks have money inside, but what do we, the petition office, have?"

"Liancheng, I understand how you feel. You need to be more careful next time. Don't let word spread that you, Sun Liancheng, are arrogant, domineering, and disrespectful to your superiors. Secretary Sha is the top leader after all, and he deserves the respect he deserves."

"Okay, Governor Zhang, I will definitely pay attention next time."

"Governor Zhang, there is one more issue I need to report to you."

"Oh, Liancheng, please tell me in detail."

"It's just that Secretary Sha's career isn't going well, and now he often looks at the stars after get off work. He also often practices boxing with Secretary Bai in the office."

"Is that so? Why do you all look at the stars when your careers are going badly? Sun Liancheng, do you really think the stars are that beautiful?"

"Governor Zhang, you have no idea how enjoyable it is to look at the stars..."

"Stop, Sun Liancheng, that's enough. I forgot that your only hobby is stargazing. You just mentioned that Secretary Sha and Secretary Bai box every day, what's going on here?"

Sun Liancheng immediately became excited at the thought of this.

"Governor Zhang, you wouldn't believe it, but I heard from my colleagues in the Secretariat that Secretary Sha doesn't like you but can't do anything about it. So he's having Secretary Bai use your picture as a sparring partner, and I heard they practice it several times a day."

Zhang Wen was speechless. What could he do? He hadn't even lifted a finger, and Sha Ruijin had already lost. Being invincible was truly lonely.

"Did your colleague see that clearly? You should remember that spreading rumors about a provincial party secretary is a very serious matter."

"Governor Zhang, my colleague saw it with his own eyes, and I also checked it myself. I guarantee it's not a rumor."

"Sun Liancheng, what's wrong with Sha Ruijin? I haven't interfered in the provincial party committee's affairs, nor have I asked you to come and report on your work. It's not good for him to be so depressed; I need to talk to him and offer some advice."

"Governor Zhang, you'd better stop provoking him. If you upset him so much that he ends up in the hospital, you'll be in big trouble."

"Okay, then I won't go and comfort him. What can I do? I'm just too kind-hearted."

"Governor Zhang, I have some juicy gossip from the Discipline Inspection Commission. Do you want to hear it?"

Upon hearing there was some juicy gossip, Zhang Wen immediately perked up.

"Sun Liancheng, are you out of your mind? If you have something to say, just say it. Stop dragging your feet like Tian Guofu."

"I don't know what's wrong with Tian Guofu lately. He's been putting on an act lately. He always puts on a kind and approachable demeanor. Then he has Secretary Li take pictures of it. The most outrageous thing is that he made a new colleague fake being sick and stay in the hospital for 15 days, and then Tian Guofu pretended to visit him afterward."

Zhang Wen was dumbfounded. Damn, this bastard really knows how to play tricks.

"Are these colleagues really going to cooperate like this? Don't they have any objections?"

"Of course there are, but there's nothing a subordinate can do about it."

"Looks like we need to find something for Secretary Sha to do."

"Hello, Secretary Sha, this is Zhang Wen. I have something to report to you. …………………………"

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wen was in an extremely good mood.
