After breaking up with my boyfriend, I made a fortune and rose rapidly in my career.

In the previous life, after Sun Chuanhong fell from power, Zhou Wenyuan took his place.

After Zhou Wenyuan took office, he did not purge Sun Chuanhong's people as everyone expected. Instead, he gently appeased everyone and proposed an economic plan called Yunzhou Revitalization.

At that time, everyone felt that good days were coming for Yunzhou.

However, Zhou Wenyuan spent three years using this plan to quietly transfer Yunzhou's best assets, minerals, and land to an overseas company controlled by his teacher through very complicated capital operations.

When Zhou Wenyuan was promoted and left, he left Yunzhou with a mess that had been hollowed out.

Sun Chuanhong is greedy and has an ugly way of doing things.

Zhou Wenyuan was even more ruthless; he left no trace and could devour people until not even bones were left.

Now, this most terrifying person has arrived ahead of schedule.

"Take Wang Defa away first, and keep a close eye on him."

Chen Pingfang's voice was a little hoarse. He squatted down and pretended to pick up the broken pieces on the ground to hide his trembling hands.

He knew very well that the other side was about to retaliate.

Moreover, every time they play a card, it's a card that can decide the outcome of the game.

……

The news of Sun Chuanhong's downfall spread throughout Yunzhou overnight.

The atmosphere in the entire municipal party committee compound was strange early the next morning.

Previously, the entrance to Sun Chuanhong's office on the far east side of the third floor was always crowded with people, who would line up from morning till night to report on their work and express their loyalty.

Now, the door is tightly shut, and the entrance is so quiet you can hear the wind.

Completely opposite to that is Mayor Xiao Yuhan's office on the second floor.

The corridor was filled with heads of various departments from one end to the other.

The Finance Bureau, the Urban Construction Bureau, the Planning Bureau... almost all the directors in charge came, each holding documents in their hands, with ingratiating yet nervous smiles on their faces, anxiously waiting to be called in.

In the crowd, two bureau chiefs were huddled together, talking quietly.

"Old Zhang, how long was your self-criticism? I stayed up all night and wrote five thousand words, reflecting on all the problems I've had over the past few years."

"What's the use of just writing a self-criticism!" another bureau chief surnamed Zhang whispered. "I got hold of Mayor Xiao's speech from the meeting a few days ago, and I led a team to study it overnight. We even wrote three study notes, guaranteeing that every sentence hit the nail on the head!"

These bureau chiefs, who usually have the final say in their own units, are now all restless and look very uneasy.

With Sun Chuanhong gone, the first thing those who followed him thought about was how to show their loyalty to the newly appointed leader.

In the office, Chen Ping filled Xiao Yuhan's cup with hot water.

"Mayor Xiao, what are your plans regarding those people outside?"

Xiao Yuhan rubbed her aching temples; she hadn't slept all night and was very tired.

"What else can we do? We need to calm them down first. Stabilizing the situation is the most important thing right now."

"No." Chen Ping shook his head, his tone firm. "We should act now."

He walked to the window, looking at the anxious people waiting outside with a cold gaze.

"Sun Chuanhong has fallen, but his men are still around. Now is the time for a power transition, and also the best opportunity. At this time, there is no need for appeasement; what is needed is direct and forceful measures."

Chen Ping turned around and looked at Xiao Yuhan.

"You must use the fastest speed and the most ruthless methods to deal with a few of Sun Chuanhong's most important people in order to truly subdue those who are wavering."

Xiao Yuhan's eyes flickered, and she immediately understood what Chen Pingfang meant.

A few people must be dealt with to warn others.

"Who should be dealt with?"

"The director of the Urban Construction Bureau is Sun Chuanhong's nephew. The director of the Finance Bureau is Sun Chuanhong's most trusted confidant." Chen Pingfang directly named two people. "These two are the most crucial people in Sun Chuanhong's corruption chain, and they are also the ones that those outside are watching closely. If you take action against them, the others will naturally behave themselves."

Xiao Yuhan looked at Chen Pingfang, her heart filled with turmoil.

This young man not only has a keen eye for things, but he can also be ruthless when it matters.

She took a deep breath and picked up the internal phone on the table.

"Notify all deputy mayors and bureau chiefs that an emergency mayor's office meeting will be held in the small conference room in ten minutes."

Ten minutes later, in the small conference room of the municipal government.

The bureau chiefs who were just crammed in the corridor are now sitting upright, and the meeting room is so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Xiao Yuhan sat in the middle, her expression calm, her gaze slowly sweeping across everyone's faces.

Those who were seen by her instinctively lowered their heads.

"Today's meeting will only announce one thing."

Xiao Yuhan's voice wasn't loud, but every word made everyone present tense up.

"Following a decision made at the Mayor's Office meeting, it has been decided that, due to suspected serious violations of discipline, Comrade Zhang Jianguo is removed from his post as Director of the Urban Construction Bureau, and Comrade Li Weidong is suspended from his duties pending investigation!"

After she finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone is stupid.

Zhang Jianguo and Li Weidong, in particular, turned deathly pale instantly, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

No one expected that Xiao Yuhan would be so ruthless in her first move, directly taking down the heads of two of the most important departments!

This is no longer a simple warning; it's an attempt to establish authority in front of everyone.

Ignoring everyone's shock, Xiao Yuhan stood up, her tone carrying an undeniable authority.

"The situation in Yunzhou has changed. I hope everyone here can see the situation clearly, stand in the right place, and do their job well. Anyone who dares to go against the decisions of the municipal party committee and government will suffer the same fate as Zhang Jianguo and Li Weidong!"

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving behind a room full of officials who were terrified.

Chen Ping followed behind Xiao Yuhan. He knew that from now on, until the new municipal party secretary arrived, the Yunzhou municipal government was completely under Xiao Yuhan's control.

……

Late at night, only Chen Pingfang and Xiao Yuhan remained in the office.

After a full day of meetings and personnel adjustments, Xiao Yuhan looked exhausted.

She leaned back in her chair, looking at the city lights outside the window, unusually not talking about work.

"Are you tired?" she suddenly asked.

Chen Ping nodded. "It's alright."

Xiao Yuhan opened the drawer, took out a small box, gently placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Chen Pingfang.

"I noticed you pressed your stomach several times today. Take this first; I had someone buy it from the provincial capital, and it works quite well."

It was a box of imported stomach medicine.

Chen Ping was stunned.

His stomach problems were a ailment from his past life. Although he was very careful in this life, he would still feel uncomfortable occasionally when he was busy. He didn't expect that his unconscious little actions would be noticed by Xiao Yuhan.

A warm feeling flowed through his heart.

"Thank you, Mayor Hsiao."

"The new Party Secretary has been decided. His name is Zhou Wenyuan." Xiao Yuhan's voice was very soft, as if she were talking to herself, or as if she were speaking to Chen Pingfang. "He wasn't promoted locally; he was directly sent down from the province. His resume is very clean, and he's very capable. I heard he's a young cadre that the province is focusing on cultivating."

Chen Ping unconsciously tightened his grip on the box of stomach medicine.

Clean?

Highly capable?

He sneered inwardly.

Yes, it's so clean, so clean that it could swallow the entire Yunzhou without leaving a trace.
