Looking at Liu Ming's nonchalant demeanor, Diao Deliang felt as if his intelligence was being repeatedly rubbed into the ground.

His "open scheme" yesterday not only failed to get back at the other party, but instead allowed them to steal the spotlight!

Now, the entire county party committee office knows that the newly arrived demobilized soldier in the comprehensive section is a "superhuman" who sorted out ten years' worth of files overnight!

This is fucking...

Diao Deliang felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, and his face turned a purplish-red from holding it in.

"Comrade Liu Ming, not bad, you've been keeping a low profile." He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, his voice so sour it could drip water.

Liu Ming took a bite of the fried dough stick and mumbled, "Section Chief Diao, you flatter me. It's my duty to share the burden with the leaders."

"You!" Diao Deliang felt his fist harden.

Just as he was about to lash out, the office door opened, and Jia Zhengzhi, the director of the county party committee office, walked in with his hands behind his back and a steady, official gait.

Behind him were several department heads from other departments.

Looks like we're having an early meeting.

As soon as Jia Zhengzhi entered the room, his gaze swept around the room before finally landing on Liu Ming, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness that was hard to detect.

Clearly, he already knew about Diao Deliang's failure.

"Ahem." Jia Zhengzhi cleared his throat, and the entire office instantly fell silent.

"Comrades, everyone's here. Let's have a short meeting, mainly to emphasize discipline," he said slowly, his eyes glancing at Liu Ming every now and then.

"Recently, I've noticed that some colleagues in our county party committee office are becoming somewhat lax in their thinking and lax in their work style! The phenomenon of being late or leaving early persists despite repeated prohibitions! In particular, some new colleagues, relying on their youth and abilities, disregard the unit's rules and regulations, which is a very bad trend!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Liu Ming.

coming!

Diao Deliang failed to bring you down, and now his uncle is personally taking action!

A gloating smile returned to Diao Deliang's face. He refused to believe that Liu Ming could cause any trouble after being publicly reprimanded by the head of the county party committee office!

"Especially yesterday!" Jia Zhengzhi's voice suddenly rose, his fingers slamming heavily on the table. "Some comrades, in order to show off, work overtime in the office until late at night, which is commendable, but! Doesn't this also indicate that their daytime work efficiency is problematic? Why do they insist on dragging their work out to the evening?"

"Furthermore, overtime is acceptable, but it cannot affect the work the next day! As far as I know, this morning, some colleagues arrived at the office just in time, showing absolutely no awareness of arriving early or preparing for work! This kind of behavior must be resolutely curbed!"

These words, spoken in a high-sounding manner, both denied Liu Ming's contribution of working overtime and labeled him as "late for work".

Killing without shedding blood—that's the old bureaucrat's method.

Everyone was waiting to see Liu Ming's reaction.

Will they lower their heads in shame? Or will they argue defiantly?

However, Liu Ming's reaction once again surprised everyone.

He slowly finished the last sip of soy milk, then took out his phone from his pocket.

He stood up, walked over to Jia Zhengzhi, and held up his phone screen to him.

"Director Jia, you're right. Disciplinary issues must be taken seriously." Liu Ming's tone was calm and without a trace of emotion. "This is a screenshot from the surveillance camera at the entrance of our county committee compound. The time shown on it is 7:59:58 a.m. I stepped through the gate two seconds before the bell rang."

"Therefore, I do not agree with your so-called 'scouting'. I was making the most of my rest time within the rules."

Jia Zhengzhi's expression changed slightly.

He never expected that Liu Ming would keep such evidence on her person!

"As for what you said, working overtime means low efficiency during the day..." Liu Ming swiped her phone screen and pulled up another photo. "This is a photo of Section Chief Diao giving me the task at 5:30 pm yesterday. The EXIF ​​information of the photo shows that it was taken at 5:32 pm. That is to say, I received this 'glorious but arduous' task after I had finished get off work."

"So, it's not that I'm inefficient during the day, but that I have to deal with some 'legacy issues' at night that I shouldn't have to handle."

"Whoosh!"

A suppressed gasp of surprise rippled through the office.

That counterattack was incredibly sharp!

It was all logical and well-founded, and they even managed to sell out Diao Deliang along the way!

Diao Deliang's face turned pale instantly; he hadn't expected Liu Ming to have such a trick up her sleeve.

Jia Zhengzhi's face had turned rather ugly. He felt as if he had been stripped naked in public, all his schemes and tricks exposed to the light of day.

He took a deep breath, still trying to salvage some face.

"Hmph! Even if you weren't late, your behavior of cutting in line shows a problem with your attitude! As a government official, you should..."

"Director Jia," Liu Ming interrupted him directly, her voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable force.

He swiped his phone and pulled up a video.

The video shows surveillance footage from yesterday afternoon at the entrance of the county government compound.

In the footage, Jia Zhengzhi, carrying a briefcase, hurriedly left the compound around 4:30 and got into a black Audi.

The county's official closing time is 5:30 PM.

"Director Jia, according to regulations, leaving an hour early should be considered a serious violation of discipline, right?" Liu Ming looked at Jia Zhengzhi, a playful smile curving her lips. "As the 'discipline' benchmark in our county party committee office, shouldn't you set an example first? Or are you using two different standards for attendance than for us ordinary staff members?"

"Pfft..."

I don't know who it was, but the first person couldn't help but laugh.

Immediately afterwards, a series of suppressed laughs rose and fell throughout the office.

That's a slap in the face!

This was a blatant slap in the face from a new clerk, right in front of all his subordinates.

Jia Zhengzhi's face instantly turned a deep liver color, then a dark, almost blackish-blue. He felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped dozens of times.

He wanted to lash out, slam his fist on the table, and smash Liu Ming's phone on the ground.

But he dared not.

Because the video is real, the surveillance footage is real, and his leaving early is also real!

If this blows up and reaches the disciplinary committee, his job as office director will be over.

He could only watch Liu Ming helplessly, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Liu Ming put away her phone and sat back down in her seat, as if nothing had happened.

"Director Jia, would you like to continue the meeting?"

Jia Zhengzhi's chest heaved violently; he felt that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven to his death by anger.

"Meeting adjourned!"

He squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, then turned and fled from the General Affairs Department almost as if escaping, forgetting even his water bottle.

A morning meeting aimed at "discipline rectification" for Liu Ming ended abruptly in such a dramatic manner.

An eerie silence fell over the office.

Everyone looked at Liu Ming as if she were a monster.

This kid is not only stubborn, not only a good fighter, but also a workaholic...

He's a damn old silver coin!

Proceed step by step, with a constant stream of backup plans!

No one expected that he had been collecting evidence from the very beginning, just waiting for Jia Zhengzhi to jump into the trap he had dug.

Such cunning, such shrewdness...

This is hardly a 26-year-old! He's clearly a cunning old fox who's been navigating the officialdom for decades!

Old Fan, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, slowly raised his head. Looking at the young man leisurely gazing out the window, his cloudy old eyes revealed genuine shock for the first time.

He silently picked up his teacup, walked to Liu Ming's side, and gently touched his cup.

Then, he leaned close to Liu Ming's ear and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, sincerely exclaimed in praise:

"Xiao Liu, you're even more cunning than me."
