159: Secretary Kang is coming

Alright, Secretary Kang has personally come this time. He's also had a change of heart. Dammit, whoever makes me clean up Secretary Kang's mess again, you might as well just step down. Get out, we'll find someone else.

With that, Jiang Jianyang stood up and left with his Secretary.

The department heads collectively breathed a sigh of relief, exclaiming, "The Secretary's aura is really intimidating."

"Indeed, I wonder who's going to be unlucky this time."

"Is it something from your education department? Last time, the issue with the school district housing seemed to cause quite a stir."

The Education Bureau Chief sneered, shaking his head as he said, "If we could get Secretary Kang involved, would we still need to worry about school districts?"

"Then what is it?"

"As long as it's not related to me, it's fine. We should just go back and tell our subordinates to behave themselves."

"You're right, let's hurry back and tell these guys to rein it in."

Everyone started to stand up, packing their things, ready to return to their respective units.

Unexpectedly, the conference room door opened again, and the young Secretary walked in, smiling as he said, "Leaders, the Secretary invites everyone to go and greet Secretary Kang together."

...Everyone secretly cursed under their breath. Dammit, it was clearly nothing good, yet they were being dragged along. But a higher official can crush a lower one, so they could only obediently pack up and jog out with their briefcases.

The young Secretary didn't say it explicitly, but Jiang Jianyang's original words were: "If I'm not having a good time, they shouldn't think of hiding. Make them come with me."

Jiang Jianyang dared to say that, but a Secretary in his department wouldn't dare, as he would still be assigned to various departments in the future, and who could guarantee who his superior would be then?

Jiang Jianyang rushed to the highway entrance, and with traffic police clearing the way, he arrived ten minutes early. He kept looking towards the toll booth, with a row of department heads standing respectfully behind him.

At the same time, in the interrogation room of the Municipal Bureau's Inspector detachment, Ye Lin was being questioned by the Inspector.

"Comrade Ye Lin, do you admit to the situation reported by the public?" two Inspectors asked with stern faces.

"What situation? Tell me about it?" Ye Lin said nonchalantly.

"Yesterday, at the entrance of Qiang Teng Group, you used your official position to deliberately assault a security guard. Is there such a thing?" the Inspector sitting above asked sharply.

"They are just a bunch of gangsters, what kind of security guards are they? I was just warning them to behave themselves," Ye Lin replied.

"Comrade Ye Lin, please correct your attitude!" Seeing Ye Lin's lazy demeanor, the two Inspectors were furious.

"We are asking you now, is this matter true?"

"Yes." Ye Lin answered decisively, not bothering to argue.

The two Inspectors exchanged glances and slowly said, "Since you admit your mistake, then first write a 3000-word self-reflection. As for how to handle it later, we will report to the Bureau for a decision."

"Write it here. Clearly describe the incident, your mindset at the time, and your reflections afterwards. It must be profound, and you must examine your problems from within."

"Only by writing a profound self-reflection can you gain more initiative for yourself, understand?" the two Inspectors said very seriously.

They were very skilled at this routine. Anyone who came into their Inspector team was always obedient. Don't think that just because you, Ye Lin, looked indifferent just now, you'll still cower when the punishment comes down.

Ye Lin chuckled and replied cheerfully, "Okay, I'll write it right away, and I'll make it profound."

Seeing Ye Lin's good attitude, the two Inspectors snorted coldly and left satisfied, leaving Ye Lin alone in the interrogation room to write his self-reflection.

"Brother Ma, this Ye Lin is said to have made many merits. Do you think he will write a good self-reflection?" one of the younger Inspectors asked.

"You are too young. When you join our Inspector team, we don't care how many merits you have. We only care what mistakes you've made. If we don't properly discipline him, he won't be able to leave," the Inspector called Brother Ma said proudly.

Thieves fear police, police fear Inspectors. Everyone is interconnected. If you dare to act up, we'll report it directly and demote you.

Brother Ma looked through the glass, and Ye Lin was earnestly hunched over the table, his pen flying across the paper.

"See? Everyone has to be obedient here," Brother Ma said proudly. "Come on, let's go have a smoke, we'll be back later."

However, if he had seen what Ye Lin was writing, he would probably have been furious.

On the white paper in front of Ye Lin, simple lines sketched a fanged half-orc leaping onto the paper. On his left shoulder was a spiked plate armor, and in his hands, he held a crescent-shaped axe.

Opposite him was a robed human mage... At the highway exit, a black sedan slowly drove out of the toll booth.

Jiang Jianyang straightened his body and adjusted his clothes, preparing to welcome Secretary Kang.

The department heads behind him also stood respectfully, each of them both nervous and excited.

They were excited because they could get close to the leader, and perhaps leave an impression, which would make their future advancement smoother. In this era, there were many capable people, but only those who were capable and remembered by the leader could be promoted.

They were nervous because the leader was making a surprise inspection, and they didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

The car door opened, and Kang Dejun stepped out.

"Secretary Kang, welcome, welcome to Yuezhou to guide our work." Jiang Jianyang greeted him with a smile.

Kang Dejun maintained a faint smile. "Secretary Jianyang, I apologize, I made a last-minute decision to come and take a look, and didn't notify you in advance."

"Secretary Kang, your visit to Yuezhou is something we eagerly await. Many tasks require your guidance," Jiang Jianyang flattered him first. Flattery never hurts.

"Guidance is not the right word. I just thought of it and came to take a look."

"Secretary Jianyang, why such a grand display? It's too elaborate." Kang Dejun subtly glanced at the row of department heads standing behind him.

While he said "elaborate," he was actually criticizing Jiang Jianyang for overdoing it.

Jiang Jianyang gave an awkward smile. "Secretary, it's just a coincidence. We happened to be having a meeting, and everyone greatly admires you, so I brought them all to meet you."

"Oh, good, good. Don't make it too deliberate, everyone should be more relaxed," Kang Dejun said indifferently.

Kang Dejun stopped smiling, and the atmosphere suddenly grew cold.

Jiang Jianyang could only say, "Secretary Kang, how about we go to the conference room and sit down? I can report on Yuezhou's work to you?"

Jiang Jianyang really couldn't figure out Kang Dejun's purpose for coming this time, so he could only follow the usual practice and invite him to the conference room. Once they sat down, a report, hehe, language is an art, he could say whatever he wanted.

So, as long as Kang Dejun agreed to listen to the report, the possibility of him coming to find fault this time would be small.

However, Kang Dejun was here to support Ye Lin this time, so he certainly wouldn't listen to the same old reports.
