Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

The dramatic reversal at the Standing Committee meeting was like a Category 12 typhoon, sweeping across the entire county committee compound in just half a day.

Diao Deliang, the deputy section chief who usually acted arrogantly, was taken away by the disciplinary committee and never came back.

It is said that, in addition to the matter of using public funds to pay the fine, the disciplinary committee followed the clues and found more problems with him. He will probably be singing "Tears Behind Bars" for the rest of his life.

The name Liu Ming spread throughout every corner of the county government compound in an almost legendary way.

If people's previous impression of him was still that of a reckless man who was "stubborn," "good at fighting," and "good at drinking," then...

Now, everyone understands one thing.

This kid is not only tough in fists, but even tougher in wrists!

The tightly linked chain of evidence, the meticulously planned backup plan, the ruthless method of easily torturing a powerful deputy section chief in front of the county's highest leader...

How the hell is this a 26-year-old?

This is clearly an old monster that has become a demon!

And so, an extremely dramatic scene unfolded in the General Affairs Office.

The next morning, Liu Ming had just entered the office.

"Xiao Liu, you're here! Have you had breakfast yet? I brought you the best meat buns from downstairs!"

"Brother Liu! This is some freshly brewed pre-Qingming Longjing tea, please try some!"

"Brother Ming, are your shoulders sore? Let me give you a massage!"

……

In the office, apart from Diao Deliang's still empty seat, everyone else, including colleagues from other departments who rushed over upon hearing the news, surrounded Liu Ming like flies drawn to blood.

Each face was plastered with a warm, almost fawning smile.

Tea servers, water pourers, cigarette purses, breakfast deliverers… Liu Ming was overwhelmed by their attentiveness.

Especially the section chief who had previously ignored Liu Ming, was now personally taking a feather duster and carefully wiping Liu Ming's desk, not letting a speck of dust escape his notice. He was taking even better care of her than he would his own father.

this is the truth.

This is the organization.

When you are weak, everyone wants to kick you while you're down.

But when you become powerful enough to instill fear in them, they will not hesitate to kneel down and lick your feet.

Only Old Fan remained unmoved, sitting in his corner, holding his large enamel mug, sipping strong tea while watching this "office exposé," his cloudy old eyes gleaming with an all-knowing glint.

He knew that from today onwards, the person who truly held the power in this General Affairs Section—no, in the entire County Party Committee Office—was no longer Jia Zhengzhi.

Instead, it was this young man before them, who could stir up trouble without making a sound.

Faced with this sudden shower of attention, Liu Ming simply smiled faintly.

He did not accept anyone's "kindness" nor did he become arrogant because of it.

He clocked in and turned on his computer as usual, starting to work on his tasks, as if everything outside of him was irrelevant.

His unyielding and indifferent attitude only made those who were eager to curry favor with him feel even more insecure.

They increasingly felt that this young man was unfathomable.

This guy is hardly a clerk!

This is clearly a living ancestor!

……

In the afternoon, the noise in the office gradually subsided.

Liu Ming was facing the computer, studying Qingyun County's financial reports for the past five years, her brow furrowed slightly.

"Da, da, da..."

A series of crisp high heel sounds came from afar and stopped at the entrance of the General Affairs Department.

Everyone in the office instinctively looked up.

A beautiful figure appeared at the doorway.

She was Xi Wanqing, who was serving as the deputy county head on temporary assignment.

She wore a white shirt and a black business skirt today, still with that icy beauty demeanor, but there was a hint of deep sorrow in her eyes.

"I'd like to see Comrade Liu Ming." Her voice was as clear and cold as spring water.

The office fell instantly so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone glanced back and forth between Xi Wanqing and Liu Ming with an extremely ambiguous look.

A female county magistrate personally came to the department to find a male clerk?

If there wasn't a story behind this, they'd eat their keyboards!

Liu Ming stood up and went to greet him: "County Chief Xi, you wanted to see me?"

"Hmm." Xi Wanqing nodded, her clear, cold eyes taking a serious look at the man in front of her for the first time.

She is still reeling from the shock of yesterday's Standing Committee meeting.

She had imagined countless ways Liu Ming would handle difficult situations, but she never expected him to execute such a textbook-level comeback in such a thunderous and flawless manner.

How many secrets is this man hiding?

Was he really the figure who saved him abroad and then disappeared without a trace?

"Can we... talk alone?" Xi Wanqing's tone carried a hint of uncertainty that even she herself didn't realize.

"certainly."

Liu Ming followed Xi Wanqing to the window at the end of the corridor.

The place was relatively quiet, and the afternoon sun shone through the glass, casting long shadows on the two people.

"Thank you for what happened at the Standing Committee meeting," Xi Wanqing said, breaking the silence.

She knew very well that Liu Ming's actions yesterday, while ostensibly a self-rescue, objectively dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Li Yuankui's faction and cleared some obstacles for her, the newly arrived deputy county head.

"I'm just stating the facts," Liu Ming replied, her response still concise and to the point.

Looking at his calm and composed demeanor, Xi Wanqing's desire to investigate intensified.

She paused for a moment, then decided to stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point.

"Comrade Liu Ming, what do you think of the economic situation in Qingyun County?"

She asked this question that had been bothering her for almost a month.

Since taking up her post, she has immersed herself in the economic work of Qingyun County, consulting countless documents and traveling to all the townships in the county.

But the more she learned about it, the more powerless she felt.

Qingyun County is like a patient suffering from a serious illness, whose condition is difficult to reverse.

The industrial structure is singular; apart from a few heavily polluting coal mines, there are almost no other notable industries.

The infrastructure is underdeveloped, transportation is blocked, and information is scarce.

What's worse is that the people here, from top to bottom, are permeated with a sense of complacency and a lack of ambition.

The reform proposals she put forward were always shelved by Li Yuankui with various excuses at the Standing Committee meetings.

She felt like a lone warrior facing an impregnable fortress.

She needs an ally.

A true ally who can see through the essence of a problem and break the deadlock.

And the man in front of me who has repeatedly created miracles seems to be the best candidate.

Liu Ming did not answer immediately.

His gaze drifted through the window to the distant, barren mountains.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head, looked at Xi Wanqing's eyes which were filled with expectation and confusion, and said something surprising.

"Qingyun's poverty is a man-made disaster, not a natural one."
