Wang Hongen and Tai Man walked to the marble stele at the end of the bridge, each pulling one end of a red cloth, and together they uncovered the red cloth covering the stele engraved with Ling River Bridge. As the red cloth was lifted, firecrackers sounded in unison, heralding the official opening of the bridge. 0
 
Reporters from urban area and county, as well as personnel from the county Publicity Department, all aimed their cameras at the secretary and the county mayor for photographs. 0
 
 
Wang Hongen took the microphone and delivered a speech, "The Ling River is formed by the convergence of mountains and rivers. Every year during the rainy season, the river floods due to mountain torrents, causing water disasters that have long afflicted the people of Hualin! The water disaster of Ling River has always been a concern of mine, and now this concern has finally been alleviated. I believe this will be a good start. The Ling River Bridge is not only a bridge connecting Hualin to the urban area, but also a bridge leading our Hualin people to happiness!" 0
 
Wang Hongen's impassioned speech elicited rounds of applause. "I announce that the Ling River Bridge is officially open to traffic!" 0
 
 
As rows of vehicles passed by, Wang Hongen and Tai Man were each being interviewed by the urban area and county television stations, as well as the Publicity Department, which took over two hours to finish. 0
 
Back at the County Mayor's Office, Yang Chen finally had the chance to express his pent-up thoughts: "Secretary Wang has gone too far, stealing all the spotlight that should have belonged to you, and he didn't even give you a chance to speak or show your face." 0
 
 
Wang Hongen as a secretary, it's fine to give a speech, but Ling River Project has always been the main responsibility of Tai Man. After Wang Hongen finished speaking, at the very least, he should have handed the microphone to Tai Man and let the county head speak a few words. However, Wang Hongen passionately announced the opening without doing so. 0
 
"I don't like to take the credit, I don't mind," Tai Man didn't take this matter to heart. The successful completion of Ling River Project was satisfying enough. 0
 
 
Yang Chen said earnestly, "Leader, I admire your Integrity for not fighting or competing, but in a government agency, if you don't fight or compete, no one will give in to you, and others won't think you're noble, they'll just think you're easy to bully." 0
 
"Why do you keep talking so much every day? Do you have no work to do? Do you want me to increase your workload?" 0
 
 
"I have a meeting to attend in a while, so I need to go busy myself for now." Yang Chen is getting ready to slip away. 0
 
"After I'm done, I'll give Director Ding a call and ask about the progress of their operation over there." 0
 
 
"Okay, leader." 0
 
The special operation to crack down on crime and vice in Hualin County has been ongoing for half a month, and it is in full swing throughout the whole county. However, the results achieved are not ideal, at least in the view of Tai Man. 0
 
 
"Palace Bar No problem?" Tai Man confirmed again, she had already asked similar questions more than once. 0
 
Yang Chen shook his head and said, "No. The bureau has conducted two secret investigations into Palace Bar and found no problems. In fact, I share your feelings, and I also hope to find something at Palace Bar." 0
 
 
Palace Bar The boss is Zhou Tianhao, who once had a fight with Yang Chen. Yang Chen has always remembered this grudge. 0
 
Ah... 0
 
 
Tai Man coughed, "What are you talking about! I don't hope to find anything at Palace Bar, I hope that if there is a problem at Palace Bar, it must be thoroughly investigated. If it operates legally and properly, then that's the best." 0
 
Contradictory feelings! Yang Chen dared to assert that Tai Man hated Palace Bar to the core, wishing to shut it down, especially since she was drugged at Palace Bar and ended up giving herself away in a daze. 0
 
 
Yang Chen suddenly felt that he didn't hate Palace Bar as much, after all, it was the place where he and Tai Man had a wonderful encounter. 0
 
Soon, the special operation lasting for a month ended. A total of six socially idle individuals involved in serious fighting incidents were arrested. Additionally, one village head who had been acting arrogantly and encroaching on others' residential land was apprehended. Thirteen individuals, including wayward girls and women, were also taken into custody. Furthermore, three establishments operating under the guise of traditional Chinese medicine health care were shut down for engaging in illicit activities involving both men and women. 0
 
 
"Just these?" Tai Man looked at the report handed over by Ding Wei. 0
 
Ah?! 0
 
 
Ding Wei asked in a daze, "What does the county magistrate mean by this?" 0
 
Tai Man realized he misspoke. Who would complain about there being fewer illegal activities in their jurisdiction? He hurriedly explained, "It seems that Hualin is truly peaceful and calm! We carried out a special operation for a month, but in the end, we didn't even find a suspected criminal organization." 0
 
 
"County conducts similar special operations every year, which is also in response to the call, after all, anti-corruption campaigns are being carried out nationwide," explained Ding Wei. 0
 
"Well done, only in this way can we make those criminal forces have nowhere to hide. But the rectification action cannot just stay on the surface, it must be deeply rooted in the masses and deeply excavated, in order to unearth groups like United Construction Company that hide their criminal nature under legitimate enterprises," Tai Man reminded, and then said somewhat regretfully, "But with only these achievements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy the people with our work!" 0
 
 
"This operation has received full recognition from the people of Hualin, especially after we dealt with the situation of Yong'an Village's village head, and received high praise from the people," proudly said Ding Wei. 0
 
Cao Wang, the village head of Yong'an Village, was rampant within the village, not only encroaching on residential land, but also taking advantage of his power to demand things from the villagers. After Cao Wang was arrested, the county also extensively reported on the matter, causing a lot of public resonance. 0
 
 
Yang Chen explained, "For ordinary people, Cao Wang is the type of low-level official they interact with the most in their daily lives, and their interests are deeply intertwined with them. Therefore, punishing these individuals can make them feel that justice has been served from their perspective." 0
 
The downfall of a high-ranking corrupt official is just a spectacle for ordinary people, while the exposure of corrupt frontline officials like the village head will provide them with more tangible benefits. 0
 
 
Tai Man I really didn't expect so much. I'm relieved to say, "That's good. Ling River Project and this special operation have played a positive role in enhancing the government's image for us. Director Ding has also worked hard during this time." 0
 
"It's all I should do." 0
 
 
After finishing the work report, Tai Man asked Yang Chen to escort Ding Wei out, and she immediately went to attend a new round of economic development promotion meeting. 0
 
After the meeting, Tai Man returned to the office with a worried look on her face. Yang Chen could tell from Tai Man's expression that the meeting did not yield the expected results. He made tea for Tai Man and asked, "This is already the third round of meetings, and there is still no plan?" 0
 
 
Tai Man took a sip of water and sighed, shaking his head. "Their suggestions are nothing but the same old routine." 0
 
"Sell land and develop real estate?" 0
 
 
Tai Man nodded. 0
 
Yang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Although doing so can boost the economic vitality of the county in the short term, it's no different from taking poison to quench thirst." 0
 
 
No wonder Tai Man looks so unhappy. 0
