Chapter 1109: Xu Jinxiu Exposes Her Butt

Sitting in the front row below, Xu Jinxiu stood up, raised his voice and said: "Regarding the suggestion of competitive post‑selection put forward by Secretary Su, the bureau Party Committee leadership collectively opposes it, not a single mid‑level cadre agrees, and the comrades below are full of complaints; this would disrupt their normal work habits."

"Of course, our County Public Security Bureau has always been democratic; it's not just me, Xu Jinxiu, speaking here alone, and I cannot speak for everyone."

"We all work under the leadership of Secretary Pan, following the correct guiding opinions."

"This so‑called competitive post‑selection is merely adding trouble for our County Public Security Bureau and creating a crisis."

"In our County Public Security Bureau, each one counts; if anyone steps forward and says they agree with competitive post‑selection, it proves that I, Xu Jinxiu, made a mistake in my work, and I am willing to take responsibility."

He was speaking smugly when Wang Ping, seated in the second row, suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "I agree with competitive post‑selection, and as far as I know, our bureau Party Committee has never held a meeting on whether to implement it."

"Bureau Chief Xu, you alone cannot represent our entire Public Security Bureau; your will does not represent the grassroots' wishes."

His words landed like a loud slap, striking Xu Jinxiu's face hard and also hitting Pan Wenhai's cheek.

For a moment, the conference room's atmosphere became extremely awkward; Xu Jinxiu, who had just been speaking with gusto, suddenly turned a pallid blue.

In his view, this was not only a good chance to humiliate Su Yang, but also an opportunity to continue groveling before Secretary Pan.

As long as Su Yang is reduced to nothing and his face is slapped so that it cracks, that would be a bonus in Secretary Pan's eyes; if he grovels again, he might even have a chance to become a Vice County Magistrate.

But he never expected that Wang Ping, who had long been treated as a transparent person in the Public Security Bureau, would step forward and expose his lie.

In the Public Security Bureau, no one took Wang Ping seriously; he was confident that the bureau was Xu Jinxiu's one‑man rule, and the others dared not speak any opinion contrary to his.

A flash of anger appeared on Pan Wenhai's face; he now felt like slapping Xu Jinxiu twice: "It already worked just now, why are you still showing off? Now look what you've done—your face didn't show, but your butt did."

However, before he could salvage the situation, Su Yang spoke up: "Bureau Chief Xu, is this what you call democracy? Is it that the whole bureau strongly opposes and no one agrees?"

"You are the Public Security Bureau Director and also the Party Committee Secretary; have you lost even the most basic democratic principle?"

"I won't even mention that you disobey orders and refuse to carry out tasks assigned by superiors; this very behavior alone is enough to warrant disciplinary action against you."

Xu Jinxiu grew angry and roared at Wang Ping: "Wang Ping, is there something wrong with your brain? Were you not present at the meeting? Were your eyes blind or your ears deaf at that time?"

"Deputy Chief, do you still want to keep working?"

He then turned to Su Yang and said: "What does a single person like Wang Ping prove? You said we should talk about democracy, yet suddenly someone with a sick mind jumps out, or perhaps he has ulterior motives to undermine the unity of our Public Security Bureau."

However, as soon as his words fell, at least a dozen frontline police officers and a Deputy Director of a Paichusuo in the back rows stood up one after another, saying: "We also agree with competitive post‑selection."

"Yes, competitive post‑selection can better promote our growth."

"The Public Security Bureau must not become a one‑man rule; we need opportunities to showcase ourselves."

"We are diligent in our work, but seniority has always dictated advancement; competitive post‑selection is the only chance for us."

"We also serve the people; why, despite doing more, are we treated like beasts of burden every day? Some people don't even know basic legal knowledge, yet they sit arrogantly in mid‑level leadership positions."

No one knows who set the example, but these people suddenly voiced all the anger inside them.

This not only left Xu Jinxiu stunned, but also Pan Wenhai and the County Standing Committee Members on the stage were dumbfounded.

Su Yang was also involved; he had spoken with Wang Ping, visited the Hospital to see Wang Ping's father, and learned the situation. Wang Ping also promised him that if there were any opportunities, someone would step forward to compete for those posts.

But he did not expect that the usually silent, marginalised Wang Ping would have such influence. Of course, it does not rule out that they are also comrades who have been sidelined.

Within the System there are all sorts of concerns; moreover, as long as you let go of everything, do not think about holding a half‑official post or seeking benefits, and you do not commit principled mistakes, the leadership has no reason to dismiss you beyond giving you a hard time.

In the end, as long as you avoid serious errors, you cannot be stripped of the uniform; their iron rice bowls remain safe, only perhaps being transferred farther away with poorer working conditions.

But if you don't step forward to fight for it now, you may never get a chance in this lifetime.

This is a challenge to unfair rules and a struggle for their own destiny.

While everyone was still stunned and surprised, Su Yang calmly asked: "Bureau Chief Xu, what are you saying? Aren't these people your Public Security Bureau staff? Is this what you call the whole bureau—only complaints and opposition, with no one agreeing?"

"Do you think all these people have something wrong with their brains?"

A series of rhetorical questions turned Xu Jinxiu's complexion a deep purple. He could no longer utter a word; it was like being forced to swallow the hot Olli he had just pulled out—so disgusting, how could he possibly say it?

Pan Wenhai's face turned completely black; if this situation isn't settled today, the loss of face will fall not only on Xu Jinxiu but also on his own authority as the unwavering County Party Secretary.

He immediately said: "The internal voices of the Public Security Bureau are not unified, which precisely shows that they are democratic. Yet even so, only a few comrades truly wish to accept this so‑called competitive post‑selection."

"As leaders, we must not impose our will on others, nor let a spur‑of‑the‑moment idea or a knee‑slap thought cause countless people's work to change, or even affect their working conditions."

"Therefore, this so‑called competitive post‑selection is pure nonsense; from now on no one may bring it up again, and don't blame me for being rude."

When his words finished, the County Standing Committee members, the Public Security Bureau leadership team—including Xu Jinxiu—and those mid‑level cadres finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, Secretary Pan forced a rescue, allowing them to keep the only pair of underpants.

But at that moment, Pan Wenhai's secretary pushed the door open and said: "Secretary Pan, there's an urgent situation; I need to give you a report."
