Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, over a decade had passed!
On this day, Sun Lian Cheng went to work as usual. As he entered the district government building, he suddenly heard a voice coming from a corner.
Years ago, after injecting the superhuman serum, combined with his continuous exercise, his physical fitness had surpassed that of ordinary people. His hearing was especially sharp.
Although the person in the corner had deliberately lowered their voice, Sun Lian Cheng still heard it.
Sun Lian Cheng quietly approached, only to hear a woman’s voice say, “Really? If Secretary Zhao Li Chun is promoted, who will take his place?”
“I don’t know. It’s said to be Secretary Gao Yu Liang from the provincial committee…”
“Him? That’s unlikely, right?”
“Why not? He’s very capable. The Han Da faction will also push him up.”
“Hmm, that makes sense! But what does it have to do with us? If anyone is going to be promoted, it’s Secretary Ding first. We shouldn’t even think about it.”
“Heh, if you want to, go find Secretary Ding!”
“Ugh, you can’t get a good word out of your mouth!”
“Hee hee hee…”
Sun Lian Cheng shook his head and left the area.
Ding Yi Zhen had been in Guangming District for three years now, and Sun Lian Cheng had also worked with him for three years. He knew him pretty well.
Previously, Ding Yi Zhen was the county head of a certain county. He was indeed very capable, at least his public achievements were very impressive.
Therefore, Li Da Kang favored him and transferred him to Jingzhou City to assist him in developing the economy.
They arrived in Jingzhou within a short time frame of each other. It was said that Li Da Kang had insisted on transferring Ding Yi Zhen.
Upon his arrival, he took over the position of District Party Secretary from Mei Lian Zhi, and he also became the deputy mayor of Jingzhou City. He quickly took advantage of his relationship with Li Da Kang to seize power.
He was always smiling at Sun Lian Cheng, the district head, but secretly, he didn’t know how he was making fun of him.
Sun Lian Cheng didn’t care about it. Over the years, many people had made fun of him. He couldn’t possibly deal with every single one of them, could he?
He knew himself best. As long as he was comfortable and content, that was all that mattered!
Back in his office, Sun Lian Cheng thought about today’s work.
Today was the district head’s reception day, so he had to go to the Grievance Office to receive citizens and listen to their opinions.
After arriving at work, he first arranged for other departments to handle their tasks. Once they were taken care of, he went to the Grievance Office in a leisurely manner.
“District Head Sun is here!”
“Good morning, District Head Sun!”
“District Head Sun, you’re finally here! I need an explanation about my situation today!”
“Your matter can wait. Let me go first. District Head Sun, my son is innocent…”
As soon as he entered the office, the citizens swarmed around him.
Thankfully, no one pulled at his clothes or anything, otherwise it would have been awkward.
“Alright, alright, everyone be quiet! Today is reception day, and I will be here to listen to your concerns and solve problems for you. Please be quiet and take turns. I don’t have that many mouths to talk with!”
He Zhi Ren, the director of the Grievance Office, also came with his staff to help maintain order. Soon, they persuaded everyone to sit down quietly.
Sun Lian Cheng saw everyone in the Grievance Office seated and felt a little proud.
After Ding Yi Zhen arrived, the Grievance Office had been specifically renovated.
At that time, Ding Yi Zhen had truly revealed his true colors. He had actually planned to design it according to that torturous plan, making it impossible for people to stand or sit comfortably.
Later, during a meeting, Sun Lian Cheng had refuted him and accused him of having problematic thoughts, treating the citizens as less than human, lacking principles and position…
He had essentially slapped him with all sorts of labels, quickly scaring him.
Although Ding Yi Zhen was extremely angry, he had to modify some of the designs.
The result wasn’t much better. There were no seats arranged, and people still had to bend over and lower their heads. It seemed like those who came to file grievances were more like facing a powerful official.
Sun Lian Cheng had asked them to add a few chairs, but the Grievance Office refused.
During the district head’s reception day, Sun Lian Cheng had personally bought some plastic stools and let everyone sit on them.
The director of the Grievance Office could pretend to obey but secretly disobey, but after Sun Lian Cheng took action, he dared not openly oppose him.
Therefore, they now had chairs to sit on. Otherwise, they would have had to stand in line like in the dramas, unable to stand or sit comfortably while talking.
Sun Lian Cheng pulled out a chair, grabbed his notebook, and started working, facing the citizens.
“Sister, what’s your issue today?”
“District Head Sun, the street office in our area, their work is really terrible! You wouldn’t believe it, they…”
Sun Lian Cheng nodded while thinking about a solution. In the end, he made a promise.
“Sister, I understand your situation. You go home first. I will instruct them to change their work habits. Otherwise, I will remove them from their positions!”
“Okay, okay. I trust District Head Sun. As long as you intervene, there will definitely be no problem!”
“Hmm, you can rest assured! I am the district head, and I am here to serve you. Next… uh, sir, do you have any issues? Sir, did you hear me?”
“Ah, I heard you! District Head Sun, is it my turn now?”
Sun Lian Cheng’s mouth twitched. “Yes, yes. What do you need to say?”
The elderly man spoke in a very loud voice, “District Head Sun, you must stand up for me. I’m kneeling down to you…”
“Woah woah woah, what are you doing, sir! Get up first. Let’s talk calmly. Don’t shorten my lifespan…”
After a lot of hustle and bustle, the elderly man finally calmed down and was able to speak.
It turned out that he was old, his ears were deaf, and his mind was a bit slow. His children were busy with work and wanted to send him to a nursing home.
But the elderly man refused. He insisted that his children were going to abuse him, and the situation became a bit tense.
He didn’t know where he heard it from, but he somehow knew that District Head Sun would be receiving citizens, so he came here to complain.
Sun Lian Cheng knew about the nursing home in Guangming District. It was located at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs, surrounded by mountains and water. It was considered a good place.
He had been in charge of civil affairs for many years and had improved many conditions there. He also visited there a few times each year.
He wouldn’t say it was the best place, but it was at least a decent place to live, and there was no possibility of abuse.
Therefore, Sun Lian Cheng thought that he must have been influenced by something else and had developed a resistance.
He quickly came up with a solution.
First, he reassured the elderly man over and over that he would help solve the problem and persuade his children.
Then, he secretly contacted his children and asked them to take some time and find an excuse to accompany their father for a walk, saying that they were going to have a picnic in the suburbs to get used to the environment of the nursing home.
Once he became familiar with the nursing home, if he still didn’t object, they could decide then whether to send him to live there.
He shouldn’t have been handling such family matters, but since he had encountered it, he might as well take care of it.
After dealing with a few more trivial matters, a major issue suddenly arose!
