Chapter 96

Bai Daqing stood there completely stunned. He had run over simply to let all the county leaders know his relationship with Su Yang, and then use this relationship to climb higher.

But who knew that Su Yang wouldn't give him any face at all, and instead turned around and spilled all his business out in one go.

Bai Daqing, who originally wanted to show his face, ended up exposing his backside instead.

Now it's a mess; not only did he fail to latch onto the county leaders, but even the elementary school principal position he was about to get is gone.

It wouldn't matter if he couldn't be a principal, but the key is that he can't even be a teacher anymore, and if things go poorly, he might even have to go to jail. The rest of his life is ruined.

"Su Yang, Su Yang, why are you doing this? I haven't done anything. Don't talk nonsense."

"Su Yang, save me, Su Yang, save me."

"It has nothing to do with me. It was all Liu Li instigating me before; I didn't mean to humiliate you."

"It was she who threatened me; if I didn't come along, she wouldn't let me be a teacher. You also know that our family has always been very poor. My parents exhausted their savings to put me through school, which is how I got to where I am today. I can't lose my job."

Bai Daqing knelt down in front of Su Yang with a thud, kowtowing and crying, his tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, he regretted it so much that his intestines were turning green. If he had known that coming to climb the social ladder would result in this, he would rather have died than come.

Admittedly, perhaps he didn't know that even if he hadn't come to find Su Yang, Su Yang wouldn't have let him off.

This wasn't just because the few of them mocked Su Yang earlier, but because Bai Daqing's character is indeed problematic.

If such a person were given a certain amount of power, in time, he would definitely use the power in his hands to oppress the common people.

"Bai Daqing, don't make a fool of yourself here. I can't save you, and I have no way to save you. You broke the law; do you think I can save you? Don't talk about me; no one can be above the law."

Bai Daqing continued to cry to Su Yang, "I beg you, you know my mom also has heart disease; what if she has a heart attack all of a sudden?"

If this kind of melodrama were placed in his previous life, Su Yang might have considered it. But having lived two lives, he couldn't even be bothered to look at such tricks.

Seeing Su Yang's attitude, the county leaders present immediately understood that not only was this matter regarding Bai Daqing to be handled, but it was to be handled strictly.

Seeing that his pleas for help were fruitless, Bai Daqing immediately scrambled up from the ground, jumping and cursing, "Su Yang, you are not a thing, you are not a human. You caused me to lose my job; I won't let you off..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he was dragged away by the hospital security guards.

Su Yang said to Liu Chaoming, "Secretary Liu, besides Bai Daqing, there is another relative of our family named Liu Jixiang, who says he is about to start working at the township government."

"This person is incompetent and has no skills; he doesn't even have a high school diploma. I don't know what connections he used, but if he is allowed to mix into our ranks, it would be a disaster for the common people."

Since he is taking action, Su Yang will absolutely not let anyone off.

Liu Li has already been dealt with, and now Bai Daqing and Liu Jixiang are being dealt with one by one.

Liu Chaoming said, "Mayor Su is right. We cannot bend the law for personal gain, and we cannot let people use connections and go through the back door just because they are relatives, allowing these incompetent and morally bankrupt people to enter important work positions."

"This is irresponsible to the Party, to the people, and to the government."

"In the future, everyone must deliberate and investigate repeatedly regarding the promotion and appointment of cadres; such situations must absolutely not be allowed to happen again."

Liu Chaoming gave everyone an educational lesson in public.

Everyone nodded, but it was inevitable that some of these people were trembling with fear at this moment; after all, these people being able to be promoted or enter the system certainly couldn't have happened without someone's help.

Of course, there were also people who didn't quite agree with Su Yang's approach, as they say, one should return home in glory.

If you've managed to do a little better, you should help your poor relatives when you can, even if they have a few minor faults.

Otherwise, how can you live up to the upbringing of your fellow villagers?

If it were them, any one of them who had Su Yang's current influence would be eager to drag the family dog over to serve as a police dog.

Of course, the prerequisite must be that these relatives listen to them and follow their orders implicitly.

Liu Li and Liu Jixiang had just come up from the stairwell when they saw the scene of Bai Daqing being dragged away. They also heard what Su Yang said to County Party Secretary Liu Chaoming and were immediately so scared they fell to the ground.

Seeing Secretary Liu talking to Su Yang downstairs just now, Liu Li thought it was a hallucination. How could a dignified County Party Secretary give face to a down-and-out, exiled secretary?

Now that she saw he not only gave face but almost treated Su Yang like an idol, at this very moment, she was so scared that her face was bloodless and she was wetting her pants.

She was waiting for her mom to come over and play the pity card again, trying to save the situation.

Finally, the surgery was finished. The doctor told Su Yang there were no major problems, but that she couldn't do physical labor anymore and could only recuperate quietly.

Su Yang thanked the doctor, but how could the doctor dare to accept it? He hurriedly said this was all part of his duty!

Liu Chaoming and the others even accompanied Su Yang's family into the luxury ward. Then, after giving instructions to the relevant doctors, they prepared to leave.

Before leaving, they even said they wanted to invite Su Yang to dinner. Su Yang, of course, wouldn't let them pay for the meal. Liu Chaoming being able to come was definitely because he saw the influence of Fang Jingwen's connections.

He already owed them a favor for this; if he were to adopt a high-and-mighty attitude, that would be a problem with his own character.

Liu Chaoming said, "Since Mayor Su wants to stay and look after your uncle and aunt, we won't force it. But you must give us a chance tomorrow or the day after to invite Mayor Su to have a meal together."

A County Party Secretary bringing the entire County Standing Committee to invite a Town Mayor to dinner, and pleading for it, would drop people's jaws if it got out.

"Thank you, Secretary Liu, but let's see how things go tomorrow. If I have time, I will definitely invite Secretary Liu and all the leaders to a meal to express my gratitude."

The reason he didn't give a definite answer was because he didn't know when Fang Jingwen would arrive; if she arrived early, he was afraid he wouldn't have any time.

Su Yang walked Liu Chaoming and the others downstairs. At this moment, Liu Chaoming stopped in his tracks and asked in a low voice, "Mayor Su, could you put in a good word for me with Miss Fang in the future? Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, then forget it. I also know that some things within the system depend on opportunities."

Su Yang felt a shock in his heart. This Secretary Liu clearly knew that this was all thanks to Fang Jingwen's face. No wonder he had been acting so attentive lately.

Su Yang said, "Okay, okay, Secretary Liu. Miss Fang might come over tomorrow. If the opportunity is right, I will definitely mention it. But as for the result, I can't guarantee it; I hope you can understand that."

Liu Chaoming, who had originally intended to leave, stopped immediately upon hearing this.
