Zhang Wen's name

Office of the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee

"Old boss, isn't it a bit hasty of you to ask me to align myself with Xie Tengfei?"

"Weiqiang, what happened? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Old leader, didn't Secretary Sha hold a standing committee meeting today? Xie Tengfei was humiliated by Zhang Wen and couldn't back down."

"Is that so? Tell me about it in detail."

"That's right, Xie Tengfei proposed launching a special anti-corruption campaign during today's meeting."

"Several of us raised our hands in agreement."

"Governor Zhang said that anti-corruption is acceptable, but it should not affect the economy."

"Then Xie Tengfei said that the anti-corruption campaign would definitely affect the economy."

"Governor Zhang started to criticize him, saying, 'You should start by investigating us, the members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.'"

"That's how Xie Tengfei was put on such a humiliating stand, and the Standing Committee meeting was subsequently forced to adjourn."

"Weiqiang, has Xie Tengfei lost his mind? How could he say such a thing? Didn't the Xie family warn him about this?"

"Old leader, should we still try to get closer to him? I think it's a bit risky. This guy is even more unreliable than Sha Ruijin."

"Weiqiang, you should remain neutral for now. I'll go ask the Xie family what they mean."

The same thing was happening to Li Donghui.

"Dad, Xie Tengfei is a good-for-nothing. Today I carried out the plan as scheduled, but Xie Tengfei messed things up. Zhang Wen had already set the tone, but he still went against him."

"Ruijin, you'd better not get close to him. His reputation is just hype."

"Dad, I told you he couldn't beat Zhang Wen. That guy is too over the top. He never reveals his trump card right away."

"Ruijin, I understand. Remember not to get too close to him next time, or Zhang Wen will deal with you too."

"Dad, I know what happened today. I'll stay away from him from now on."

Office of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Handong District.

"Dad, Zhang Wen is really good at labeling people. I just wanted to fight corruption, and he accused me of retaliation. Can you believe how you talk like that?"

"Xie Tengfei, have you lost your mind? Who told you to attack him the moment you arrived? You've only just arrived, you haven't even settled in yet, and you're already attacking him? Is that what you call making a move? You're just offering yourself up as food."

"Dad, I just wanted to use the name of anti-corruption to break the deadlock."

"I've read the minutes of your Standing Committee meeting, and I think Zhang Wen's words are fine. But you said such idiotic things, Tengfei, you've disappointed me greatly. Who told you that anti-corruption doesn't require attention to the economy?"

"Dad, I'm sorry to have disappointed you. I won't do it again next time."

"Alright, Tengfei, after this incident, you'll have to keep a low profile. I think everyone's just laughing at you. Looks like you're fighting this battle alone."

"Dad, Li Donghui, Lin Weiqiang, are they no longer siding with us?"

"Tengfei, are you stupid? No one will dare to get close to you if you act like this."

"Okay, Dad, I know. I won't go against Zhang Wen anymore."

"Tengfei, what do you mean by not opposing Zhang Wen? If you have evidence, you can investigate, because that's your job. But if you're going to lose an official just because of a single complaint letter, then don't even mention it. It's too detrimental to unity."

"Okay, Dad, I'll be more careful in the future."

"Tengfei, you should speak less and observe more at the Standing Committee meetings in the future. This will do you good. The waters in Handong are very deep. You can imagine how powerful Zhang Wen is, given that he can control the Standing Committee."

"Okay, Dad."
