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

County Party Secretary's Office.

This is the power center of the entire Qingyun County.

The room was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with rows of bookshelves filled with finely bound books, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of premium Da Hong Pao tea. Everything seemed so relaxed and under control.

"Clang!"

A sharp crack shattered the tranquility.

A fine Jingdezhen imperial kiln teacup was smashed hard on the smooth floor, shattering into pieces instantly, with scalding tea splashing everywhere.

County Party Secretary Li Yuankui stood behind his desk, his square face flushed a deep liver color with extreme anger, his chest heaving violently like a lion about to go berserk.

His eyes, which usually exuded an imposing aura even when not angry, were now blazing with fury.

At the desk, Public Security Bureau Chief Lei Tie and County Party Committee Office Director Jia Zhengzhi stood with their heads down, silent and trembling, not daring to even breathe.

Just now, Li Yuankui received a phone call from his beloved son, Li Shaojie, who was crying and wailing.

He had lived for over fifty years and had been a local tyrant in Qingyun County for over twenty years, but he had never felt so humiliated as he did today!

My own son was beaten up on my own turf!

Not only was he beaten, but he was also humiliated by being forced into a hot pot!

Not only were they humiliated, but the person who was arrested and taken to the police station was also taken away by the armed forces department without a scratch!

This was nothing short of a series of resounding slaps, one after another, striking his face hard against the very face of this "number one figure in Qingyun County"!

"Lei Tie!" Li Yuankui's voice, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, was filled with icy killing intent. "What kind of job do you have as the police chief?"

"A lawless thug comes and goes freely in your police station! Do you have any respect for the national emblem on your head?"

Cold sweat poured down Lei Tie's forehead in an instant.

He was inwardly groaning.

What the hell can I do?

On one side is your precious son, and on the other is your powerful ancestor, whose presence even the military command called to inquire. I'm just a lowly county public security bureau chief, caught in the middle, utterly displeasing to both sides!

But he dared not say it aloud, and could only brace himself and explain, "Secretary, please let me explain... Liu Ming's situation is a bit special. Minister Wang Zhenhua of the Armed Forces Department personally led a team, armed to the teeth, into our bureau demanding her release. Their attitude was extremely forceful. I... I was just trying to avoid a bigger conflict between the two departments..."

"Conflict?!" Li Yuankui slammed his fist on the table, making the pen holder jump. "What is his Armed Forces Department?! A second-tier unit in charge of conscription and militia, dares to challenge you, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the head of the Public Security Bureau?!"

"I think your time as bureau chief is over!"

Lei Tie was thoroughly scolded, and he lowered his head even further, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

He knew that whatever he said now would be wrong. Secretary Li was in a fit of anger, and he could only be a scapegoat.

Seeing that the time was right, Jia Zhengzhi stepped forward and began his most skillful performance.

He carefully helped Li Yuankui clean up the broken porcelain shards on the floor, then brewed another cup of hot tea and said in a heartbroken tone:

"Secretary, please calm down. Getting angry will only harm your health. It's not worth it for a mere clerk."

Li Yuankui snorted heavily, took the teacup, and took a sip, but the anger in his chest still hadn't subsided.

Seeing this, Jia Zhengzhi continued to embellish the story: "But then again, this Liu Ming is really outrageous! He's a complete troublemaker, a rock in a latrine, both smelly and stubborn!"

"He's only been here two days, and he's already talking back to his superiors, assaulting colleagues' family members, and even colluding with the armed forces to resist the police! If this kind of person stays in our county government compound, he's a ticking time bomb!"

He paused, secretly observing Li Yuankui's expression. Seeing the anger in his eyes growing stronger, he lowered his voice, hissing like a venomous snake:

"Secretary, in my opinion, there's no need to confront this stubborn thug head-on. Isn't he good at fighting? Doesn't he have the armed forces backing him up? Let's try a different approach."

Li Yuankui raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Speak."

A sinister smile appeared on Jia Zhengzhi's face.

"Secretary, he works for the county party committee office, and his organizational affiliation is in our hands. No matter how good he is at fighting, he still has to abide by our local rules, right? We're a civilized unit; we don't do that kind of violence. We're in administration; we have plenty of ways to make him wish he were dead!"

"Oh? What's your plan?" Li Yuankui's tone softened, clearly showing interest in the topic.

"There are plenty of ways!" Jia Zhengzhi said, counting on his fingers as he analyzed the options one by one. "First, give him the cold shoulder. Ignore him, don't assign him any work, don't let him attend any meetings, and completely marginalize him. After a while, he won't be able to stand it anymore."

"Second, flatter him to death. Praise him too much and assign him tasks that he is completely incapable of completing. For example, let him take charge of the most troublesome petition and stability maintenance work in the county, or let him write a plan on the 'Development Strategy of Qingyun County for the Next Fifty Years'. If he fails to complete it, it will be because he is incompetent, and then we can deal with him in a justifiable way."

"Third, and the cruelest move..." Jia Zhengzhi's smile grew even more sinister, "Send him down to the countryside! What's the name of the most remote township in our Qingyun County again? Black Stone Township! Yes, that Black Stone Township where there's not even a road!"

"Isn't there a poverty alleviation site there? Send him there as the first secretary! That place is poor and remote, and the people are tough. The previous two poverty alleviation cadres, one had his leg broken, and the other went insane after six months. Throw him there, and within three months, I guarantee he'll be begging us to transfer him back!"

As Li Yuankui listened to Jia Zhengzhi's vicious scheme, the anger on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a sinister smile.

He picked up the teacup and gently blew on the steam rising from it.

That's right.

He was the head of a county, a master of political maneuvering. To confront a mere thug who only knew how to use his fists head-on would be beneath him.

If you're going to play, play the open game.

If you're going to mess with someone, mess with them so badly they can't even speak out.

He wanted to show that kid named Liu Ming that in Qingyun County, power is the strongest weapon.

Lei Tie listened with trepidation, feeling that Jia Zhengzhi's moves were even more vicious than breaking Liu Ming's legs.

"Secretary, look..." Jia Zhengzhi looked at Li Yuankui expectantly, waiting for him to give the order.

Li Yuankui pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing which move would be more satisfying.

He put down his teacup, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Only children make choices; he wants it all!

"Do as you say!" Li Yuankui's voice was as cold and piercing as the winter wind.

"Let's give him some appetizers first!"

"Transfer him to the most difficult poverty alleviation site, or make him write 100,000 words of material every day."
