Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

After being shocked, Deng Hong took Lin Zheng's advice and immediately called Yang Wanshan, exaggerating the matter several times over.

During the report, Deng Hong, following Lin Zheng's instructions, embellished the story, saying that Wang Jianguo wanted to trample Yang Wanshan underfoot, etc...

One nasty remark after another followed, until Yang Wanshan's face turned completely green.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Wanshan would definitely have considered the veracity of these words.

But now Yang Wanshan has completely gone mad and lost his ability to make judgments.

Before Deng Hong could finish her report, she heard the sound of Yang Wanshan smashing things on the other end of the line.

"Wang Jianguo is coming down this afternoon, is he? I want to see what he's up to."

Yang Wanshan hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

He knows he has no hope of becoming the top leader, but he has to keep his position as town mayor.

If Wang Jianguo wants to dig up his secrets, then he'll dig them back.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the district discipline inspection team's number and filed a formal complaint against Huang Dehai, the director of the safety supervision department, Zhang Guanglin, the minister of justice, and Li Po, the director of the planning department.

These three men were all in cahoots with Wang Jianguo; holding them down would be tantamount to cutting off Wang Jianguo's escape route.

Even if Wang Jianguo manages to seize the top position, he won't have anyone trustworthy to rely on.

Less than forty minutes after Yang Wanshan made the call, staff from the district discipline inspection team came downstairs.

Because the materials and evidence provided were complete, and because it was a real-name report by Yang Wanshan, the district took it very seriously and took the three people away for investigation on the spot.

Other department heads who were watching were trembling with fear, terrified that they would be the next ones taken away.

There are no clean people in their circle.

Normally, everyone gets along peacefully, and unless they are mortal enemies, they usually keep things to themselves and fight each other in secret.

This is the first time someone like Yang Wanshan has filed a real-name report and gotten someone arrested.

Normally, a top leader or town mayor would not resort to such extreme measures.

Even if this method suppresses the opponent, no one will dare to work with him in the future.

But now Yang Wanshan has lost his mind and doesn't consider any of that.

Losing his position as the top leader has driven him completely insane.

Less than half an hour after the district discipline inspection team's car left, Yang Wanshan convened another meeting and issued a strict order that anyone who failed to attend would bear the consequences.

The entire town government was instantly thrown into a state of panic. No one dared to leave their office, waiting for Yang Wanshan to issue orders.

Half an hour later, representatives from the urban construction, emergency response, joint prevention and control, safety supervision, land and resources, finance, and police station all arrived.

Yang Wanshan directly launched a new round of personnel appointments, focusing on the next stage of development for Dianhai Town.

The cadres who had previously sided with Qiu Ruiming were all thrown into a panic.

Qiu Ruiming and Yang Wanshan were at odds before, but now that Yang Wanshan has power, he will definitely not hesitate to turn his sword against them.

Now that there is no top leader, Yang Wanshan has the most power and is also the chief steward of Dianhai Town. No one can stop him from doing whatever he wants.

Yang Wanshan looked around the conference room and began nominating the people he had arranged in advance.

Wang Jianguo, standing to the side, did not speak, but instead looked on with an expression of watching a good show.

Wang Jianguo only spoke after Yang Wanshan rattled off the names of personnel for five key positions in one breath.

"Mayor Yang, the Ma Yingde you mentioned, he committed a serious crime. The district has already set up an investigation team to investigate him."

"And then there's Lin Shan, who colluded with a married man, and the district is preparing to open a case for investigation."

"As for Zhang Kuanhai, needless to say, the district has already decided to detain him."

All the cadres were shocked upon hearing this, realizing that Wang Jianguo's revenge had arrived.

Yang Wanshan took down three of Wang Jianguo's top generals in one fell swoop, and Wang Jianguo would certainly not stand idly by.

They just didn't expect Wang Jianguo to act so quickly.

The three people named by Wang Jianguo turned deathly pale.

Yang Wanshan frowned, preparing to retort, when the conference room door was pushed open.

Members of another discipline inspection team from the district pushed open the door and walked in.

They approached the three cadres named by Wang Jianguo, presented them with arrest warrants, and took them away directly in front of Yang Wanshan.

"Mayor Yang, am I right?"

"The people you recommended are problematic. How could you allow them to head these important departments?"

Yang Wanshan's face turned ashen.

Wang Jianguo's words were like a slap in the face to him in front of everyone.

However, there's nothing that can be done about the current situation.

The following meeting was a performance of heated debate between Wang Jianguo and Yang Wanshan.

Neither of them gave the other any face, their words flying, and they were practically about to roll up their sleeves and fight.

The cadres below looked at each other, none of them daring to interrupt.

The argument lasted for almost two hours before the meeting was hastily concluded.

After the meeting, Yang Wanshan went to Zhuangdong Village Committee as soon as possible.

Seeing Yang Wanshan's ashen face, Lin Zheng knew that he definitely hadn't gotten the better of Wang Jianguo.

Lin Zheng handed Yang Wanshan a cigarette, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Mayor Yang, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Yang Wanshan took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and cursed, "That bastard Wang Jianguo tricked me."

Lin Zheng didn't ask any further questions and quietly waited for Yang Wanshan to finish his cigarette.

After finishing his cigarette, Yang Wanshan recounted everything that had happened at the town government that day.

Lin Zheng couldn't hide the smile in his eyes after hearing this.

He forced a smile and continued to fan the flames: "Mayor Yang, I think your method is feasible."

"We must suppress all those who support Wang Jian, so that even if he becomes the top leader, he will have no one to rely on."

"However, we also need to secretly cultivate some people on our side, so that we will have the resources to prevent Wang Jianguo from making any rash moves."

Yang Wanshan frowned after hearing this.

He took a deep breath and said, "My concern is not about a lack of cadres."

"What I'm worried about now is making a big fuss, and the district will get involved, and I'll end up getting punished."

Lin Zheng continued his deceptive tactic: "Mayor Yang, if we don't continue, what do you suggest we do?"

"Wang Jianguo has already gone all out; it's too late to back down now."

"If the district intervenes, Wang Jianguo won't be able to escape either."

"I think the person who should be most worried right now is Wang Jianguo, because he's the one who started this."

At this moment, he absolutely could not let Yang Wanshan wake up, otherwise the plan that had been prepared for so long would be at risk.

Yang Wanshan's expression shifted between light and dark, but he finally gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "You're right, we can't back down now."

"With so many officials watching, if I back down, how will I maintain my position in the town government?"

In fact, Yang Wanshan was very clear that he had no way out.

You either fight Wang Jianguo to the bitter end, or you give in and let Wang Jianguo suppress you.

Once he chooses the second path, no cadre will ever stand by his side again.

If Wang Jianguo successfully takes over the top position, he will definitely be eliminated.

Therefore, regardless of whether he gets punished or not, he has to fight Wang Jianguo to the end.
