In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Leaving is definitely out of the question.

So Zhao Mingyuan stood in front of the reception room door and waited.

The staff members who came and went all saw it, but few of them thought it was strange.

What Zhao Mingyuan did and how he became close to Sun Yikun were not secrets to those in the municipal party committee office.

Moreover, the relationship between Li Feitu and Zhao Mingyuan, and the relationship between Li Feitu and Li Zhixing, are no longer secrets.

About half an hour later, Li Zhixing and Minister Liu walked out of the reception room with smiles.

The two of them came out and immediately saw Zhao Mingyuan, who had been waiting outside.

However, Li Zhixing only glanced at Zhao Mingyuan once, and then prepared to leave with Minister Liu.

Zhao Mingyuan immediately became anxious and hurriedly shouted.

"Secretary Li, I have something important to report to you. Please give me a little time."

A county party secretary shouted this out, leaving Li Zhixing with no choice but to pay attention to Zhao Mingyuan.

Stopping in his tracks, Li Zhixing looked at Zhao Mingyuan and said calmly, "You must be Zhao Mingyuan, the Party Secretary of Linchuan County."

"Minister Liu and I have other matters to attend to. We can discuss your business later."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan immediately said, "Secretary Li, it won't take up more than a few minutes of your time. Please listen to my report."

"I have important leads to report regarding the serious violations of laws and regulations by the former Party Secretary Sun Yikun!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixing gave Zhao Mingyuan a deep look, then turned to Minister Liu and smiled, "Minister Liu, it seems we might have to wait two minutes."

As a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, Minister Liu was present throughout the previous night's meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

Moreover, he was in charge of all the official positions in the province, so he was naturally very familiar with Li Zhixing and Sun Yikun. After the Standing Committee meeting, he even went so far as to learn more about the situation in Oasis City. Therefore, he had a general idea of ​​who Zhao Mingyuan was and what his relationship was with Sun Yikun and Li Zhixing.

Minister Liu smiled and nodded.

"Secretary Li, it's alright. You go and handle your business. I'll go and wait for you."

Minister Liu didn't say much. This was a matter for Oasis City, and he didn't want to say anything more. There was no question of giving or receiving favors.

After Minister Liu left, Li Zhixing did not look at Zhao Mingyuan, but walked into the reception room indifferently.

"Come in."

Zhao Mingyuan then cautiously entered the reception room.

After entering the reception room, Li Zhixing sat on the sofa, looked at Zhao Mingyuan who was bent over, sweating, and somewhat apprehensive, and pointed to the sofa next to him.

"Secretary Zhao, what do you want to report? Sit down and tell me."

sit down?

Obviously, he wouldn't dare. Just being able to stand here and talk to Li Zhixing was already a blessing for Zhao Mingyuan.

At this moment, his posture had to be as humble as possible.

It was even lower than when he was in front of Sun Yikun!

"No, no, I can report to you standing up."

"Secretary Li, before I report Sun Yikun to you, please allow me to explain that the conflict between me and County Chief Feitu is purely a misunderstanding."

"I don't deny that I did have some opinions about County Chief Feitu before. However, I didn't do anything to influence him. The reason things turned out this way was all because Sun Yikun forced me into this situation. Secretary Li, I can explain the whole process to you, and you'll see that I actually admire County Chief Feitu very much."

"Really, Secretary Li, please believe me. Even if I have some issues with County Chief Feitu, I don't mean anything by it. In fact, I've already made plans to retire early."

Zhao Mingyuan spoke with sincerity; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was innocent.

However, whether they are innocent or not is no longer important.

Li Zhixing didn't intend to say much more to Zhao Mingyuan.

"Secretary Zhao, the matter between you and County Head Li Feitu is a matter between your team. If you can't maintain unity, it's your responsibility as the team leader. If he's wrong to go against your team leader, then that's his problem. As for your personal grudges, whether they're handled well or not, I've just taken office and don't want to talk about those things."

"Didn't you want to report Sun Yikun for serious violations of laws and regulations?"

"Then tell me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan, seeing Li Zhixing's businesslike attitude, cautiously said, "Secretary Li, I have some important evidence of Sun Yikun's crimes. I just wanted to report it to you. You see, although I haven't reached retirement age yet, my health is increasingly failing me. Do you think I could apply for early retirement?"

"I don't want to step down from my position; I want to retire completely. This would make room for capable young people. What do you think?"

Without mentioning any evidence, he immediately said he wanted to retire. This isn't making way for him; it's negotiating terms.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixing smiled, shook his head, and then stood up.

"Zhao Mingyuan, are you trying to negotiate with me?"

"Hehe, then forget it. I have nothing to talk to you about. I am the Party Secretary of Oasis City, and you are the Party Secretary of Linchuan County. You are my subordinate. Between us, we only have a working relationship, no personal feelings, and certainly no conflict."

"Whether you should retire or not, you can submit a report, and the organization will study and decide. As for anything else, there's nothing more to say."

After saying that, Li Zhixing started to leave the meeting room.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mingyuan immediately became anxious, and in his haste, he even grabbed Li Zhixiang's arm.

"Secretary Li, please listen to me. I really have evidence of Sun Yikun's crimes. With this, Sun Yikun will never be able to turn things around. Even his uncle and Sun Lianqi can't help him. Secretary Li, you must believe me."

At this moment, Li Zhixing looked at Zhao Mingyuan with an icy expression and said coldly, "Zhao Mingyuan, do you even have the demeanor of a county party secretary? Let go, don't try to pull me along."

"As for the issue of Sun Yikun, you don't need to tell me. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will naturally talk to you when they conduct their investigation."

After saying that, Li Zhixing didn't listen to Zhao Mingyuan say anything more and left the reception room without looking back.

Sun Yikun's evidence?

There's no need to worry about not finding them. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has plenty. As for Sun Lianqi? Does Li Zhixing need to worry about that now?

Sun Lianqi was lucky to even be able to save himself.

He had initially thought Zhao Mingyuan would say something interesting, but he was greatly disappointed.

Zhao Mingyuan followed him outside the door, watching Li Zhixing's resolute departure, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Is the evidence of Sun Yikun's illegal activities unimportant?

He even brought up Sun Lianqi's name, so why isn't Li Zhixing afraid at all?

Moreover, his eyes held a mocking gaze.

It's as if Zhao Mingyuan is just a clown.

It was as if they were certain that the Sun family was completely finished.

Zhao Mingyuan suddenly thought of something very bad, which made his face turn extremely pale.

However, he also knew that staying here was pointless. Now, returning to Linchuan County, he could shut some people up and warn others, which might improve his situation. Of course, if possible, Li Feitu could put in a good word for him, and perhaps there would be a chance for things to turn around.

With that thought in mind, Zhao Mingyuan immediately left the municipal party committee building and had his driver head straight for Linchuan County.

At this very moment, Chen Jingcheng had already arrived in Linchuan County.
