Chapter 231 Talented Nurse
Sun Dewang would never stoop to doing such a thing.
To engage in underhanded tactics and exploit personal privacy and lifestyle issues is not the behavior of a gentleman and violates his principles of conduct.
However, Zhang Ping went too far!
Trying to reason with someone like that, talking about rules and principles, will only make you look foolish.
Sun Dewang found a helper – Wang Shi from the town's urban construction office.
Wang Shi is true to his name; he is honest and straightforward, and he doesn't flatter or engage in crooked practices.
However, honest people always suffer losses.
Because honest people are not good at interpersonal relationships; in other words, they lack organizational and coordination skills.
When promoting cadres, the main criteria are not ability or performance, but connections, how well they can get things done, and whether they have people who can speak up for them in critical moments.
Wang Shi works in the Urban Construction Office. Because of his straightforward and inflexible nature, he has been severely criticized by Zhang Ping many times. His current task is to be in charge of internal affairs, and he is not allowed to get involved in the Xindian Avenue project at all.
"Director Sun, is this really a good idea?" Wang Shi hesitated.
"If you're going to die, face the sky! What are you afraid of!" Sun Dewang encouraged. "As long as the stone is there, the good horse will be ridden and the good person will be bullied."
In the Urban Construction Office, in terms of technical skills and work ethic, in what way are you inferior to Zhao Weizhong and his colleagues?
But what are you doing now? You're supposedly in charge of logistics, but you're really just doing odd jobs!
Such a large project on Xindian Avenue has absolutely nothing to do with a professional like you!
Why? Isn't it because you don't know how to flatter, and you don't know how to go along with Zhang Ping's wishes?
Wang Shi lowered his head; Sun Dewang's words had struck a nerve.
He recalled the budgets and plans he had worked overtime to create, which were either shelved or modified by others to claim credit.
He recalled Zhang Ping's merciless criticism of him as "rigid," "inflexible," and "disregarding the big picture."
I recall the sympathetic or mocking looks from my colleagues.
Yes, what did he get in return for working so honestly?
Besides becoming increasingly marginalized, they are also becoming increasingly frustrated.
Sun Dewang continued, "And then there's Li Lamei's family. They had a perfectly good family, but their house was gone just like that, and they were driven to drink pesticide!"
If Secretary Wu hadn't discovered it early, a life would be at stake now!
What did Zhang Ping and his group do? They forcibly demolished the house! They threatened people! They publicly called them troublemakers!
Is this something a human being would do? Do they have any respect for the law or for the common people?
Shi Zai, we are not going to harm anyone, much less do anything underhanded.
We need to obtain evidence to prove that Zhang Ping is unworthy of his position!
His corrupt lifestyle is merely a symptom; it reflects his deep-seated disregard for discipline and rules!
Expecting someone like that to do good for the people while sitting in the position of town mayor is simply a pipe dream!
Sun Dewang lowered his voice: "Shi Zai, by doing this, we are indirectly helping Secretary Wu."
Secretary Wu, as you've seen, he's someone who genuinely wants to get things done and wants to improve the social atmosphere.
But he was new and his position was unstable. Zhang Ping and his gang were deeply entrenched and had connections in the county and city.
Zhang Ping is both immoral and incompetent. Last time he went to attract investment, he made a big show of it, but ended up hiring a swindler, which made him a laughingstock.
If it were anyone else, he would have been dismissed as mayor long ago, but he remains firmly in power.
Why? Because he has a powerful backer! It's good to take shelter under a big tree!
Zhang Ping not only neglects his duties but also hinders Secretary Wu at every turn.
If we can get something tangible, even just a little bit of leverage, and hand it over to Secretary Wu, or report it to the higher-level discipline inspection commission, that would be helping Secretary Wu to open up a new situation, and also helping Xindian Town to remove a malignant tumor!
What kind of underhanded tactics are we talking about? This is called eliminating a scourge for the people, and relieving the burdens of an upright leader!
Wang Shi steeled his resolve: "Director Sun, I'll listen to you this time! I don't want a promotion or anything, I just want to rid the people of this scourge!"
Zhang Ping is the kind of person who doesn't do good deeds himself, and he also prevents Secretary Wu from doing good deeds. I've long been fed up with him.
Sun Dewang patted Wang Shizai on the shoulder: "Shizai, I'll keep watch behind Zhang Ping's dormitory tonight. I'll let you know if anything happens."
"Okay, Director Sun."
The town government building is built against the hillside, behind which is a small hill, not very high, only a few dozen meters high.
Zhang Ping's dormitory is located at the foot of the back mountain.
This place is secluded and quiet, making it a perfect spot for a secret rendezvous.
Around 8 p.m., Sun Dewang sneaked into the back mountain and began to keep watch from a high vantage point.
Moon stars are rare.
Zhang Ping's tile-roofed dormitory with a small courtyard was located at the foot of the mountain, with the courtyard wall slightly higher than the other dormitories.
After waiting for more than an hour, no woman was seen entering Zhang Ping's dormitory.
In one of Zhang Ping's dorm rooms, which was probably his bedroom, the lights were constantly changing and sounds could be heard; he was watching television.
Sun Dewang wondered to himself: Is there no chance tonight?
That's true. Even if Zhang Ping is a womanizer, he wouldn't party every night.
Just then, a woman's figure was seen pushing open the gate and entering the courtyard.
It turned out that the courtyard gate had always been ajar.
It seems Zhang Ping was prepared.
The woman then bolted the courtyard gate from the inside.
With the help of the dim moonlight, Sun Dewang recognized the woman as Jiang Furong, the director of the family planning office.
Rumors had long circulated that Jiang Furong and Zhang Ping were having an affair, and it seems that this is entirely true.
Jiang Furong is a widow whose husband died of illness many years ago. She has a daughter who is studying nursing at Longcheng Vocational and Technical College.
Sun Dewang sent Wang Shi a message saying that the target had appeared and that he should go around to the back of the mountain and meet at the wall behind Zhang Ping's dormitory.
Wang Shi is here.
"Here she is, it's Jiang Furong." Sun Dewang lowered his voice, looked down at her, and pointed to the already bolted courtyard gate.
Wang Shi asked softly, "Director Sun, should we climb over the wall?"
Sun Dewang nodded: "Hmm. Judging from the noise inside, it probably won't be over anytime soon."
"Let's climb in, be careful, and don't make a sound."
Zhang Ping's dormitory was built quite a few years ago, and the back wall was right next to a crooked old locust tree with thick branches that stretched into the courtyard.
Sun Dewang and Wang Shi helped each other, quietly climbing up the courtyard wall, and then sliding down the branches of the locust tree like cats into the courtyard.
The courtyard was quiet, with some odds and ends piled up in the corner.
The main house consists of three tiled rooms in a row, with the main hall in the middle and bedrooms on both sides.
The light was on in the bedroom on the left; it was the one Zhang Ping lived in.
The sound of a television could be faintly heard coming from inside; it seemed to be a variety show, with quite a bit of laughter and music.
The television sound completely masked the faint noises coming from Sun Dewang and Wang Shi.
The two tiptoed closer to the lit window.
The windows were old-fashioned wooden-framed glass windows, with beige curtains hanging on them.
There was a fairly large gap in the middle of the curtains, probably because no one noticed it when it was drawn. However, Zhang Ping would never have imagined that someone had sneaked into the backyard.
Sun Dewang peered through the crack.
In the room, Zhang Ping, wearing pajamas, leaned against the headboard, while Jiang Furong sat on the edge of the bed, the two very close together.
Jiang Furong had clearly dressed up deliberately today, wearing a tight-fitting knit sweater and a skirt. Although she was over forty, she still retained her charm.
She was holding a phone in her hand, showing Zhang Ping something.
"Brother Ping, look, this is my daughter, Xiaoya, who is doing her internship at the county hospital."
This girl was sensible from a young age, but she had a hard life because her father died early.
Graduation is just around the corner, and I still haven't found a job. As her mother, I'm really worried.
Zhang Ping squinted at his phone screen, one hand naturally resting on Jiang Furong's shoulder, gently stroking it.
"Hmm, not bad. Girls change a lot as they grow up, becoming more and more beautiful. Internship at the county hospital? Want to stay there?"
"That's right! Being able to stay at the county hospital is a secure job, and it's a respectable position."
Brother Ping, you have a lot of connections and know many people in the county. Could you help me put in a good word for me?
I know it's hard to get into a hospital these days, especially a permanent position...
Zhang Ping chuckled and slid his hand from her shoulder to Jiang Furong's waist: "Furong, this matter of yours is both difficult and easy."
Old Wang from the county's Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and Old Li from the Health Commission are both old friends of mine.
Saying hello is fine, it's not impossible.
But now that every entrance exam is mandatory, we still need to prepare the "carrot pit" (i.e., find a suitable candidate beforehand), right?
"Brother Ping, what do you mean...?" Jiang Furong's eyes lit up as she tentatively asked.
"It depends on what special talents your daughter has. For example, singing or dancing. Nowadays, hospitals are also doing cultural development, and sometimes they set up special positions, such as 'talented nurses' or 'art and sports positions,' which require artistic talents, so the competition is much less."
"Special skills? Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Furong quickly said, "Xiaoya has been learning to dance since she was little. She can do folk dance, modern dance, and belly dance, and she has even won awards."
"You can dance? That's great! We can work on it and create a talent nurse position, requiring dance skills, good height and appearance, and then restrict the scope of expertise. That will give us some room to maneuver."
Jiang Furong beamed with joy and leaned into Zhang Ping's arms: "Brother Ping, we're counting on you!"
I only have one daughter; her future is my lifeblood.
Zhang Ping put his arm around Jiang Furong, took her phone with his other hand, looked at the photos carefully, and exclaimed in admiration: "I must say, your daughter looks like you, has a figure like you, she's a beauty in the making."
She's fashionable and knows how to dress; she's much better than those junior nurses at the county hospital.
"Leave the work to me; I'll take good care of your daughter."
When he said the word "concern," his tone was somewhat ambiguous, and his eyes carried a different meaning.
Jiang Furong seemed oblivious to the implied meaning, or perhaps she understood but didn't care. She proactively wrapped her arms around Zhang Ping's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.
As the two became increasingly intimate, stripping naked and beginning to indulge in pleasure.
Sun Dewang and Wang Shi exchanged a glance outside the window.
That lecherous old man Zhang Ping not only had an affair with his subordinate, but he also set his sights on the man's daughter!
They even dared to abuse their power to conduct "radish recruitment"!
Not to be missed!
Sun Dewang gave Wang Shi a wink, and the two whispered a few words to each other before dividing up the tasks.
Sun Dewang went around to the front door.
With a sudden kick, the door was kicked open.
