Chapter 238 Talking with Director Xin Wang

After a while, Wu Li rode his bicycle to Shang Qi's courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, he found Director Wang and Shang Qi waiting for him.

He picked up the water cup beside him and drank it without hesitation, then asked Director Wang, "Director Wang is here too. Is there something going on? Shang Qi, please tell me. Don't wait for me to ask."

Shang Qi told Wu Li about the private house incident he had heard in the courtyard, then looked at Director Wang and asked, "Shouldn't this matter be under the jurisdiction of the Street Office? Director Wang can investigate it himself."

Director Wang said, "I have been in this subdistrict office for a while now. I found that there are big problems with the whole subdistrict office. The files are not standardized, and some personnel lack party discipline. Most importantly, I found that this subdistrict office does not allow anyone with ability to get promoted. Now a vicious circle has formed. The people who work seriously are always the lower-level personnel, while the middle-level cadres are always trying to curry favor with others or looking for connections to get a promotion.

The deputy director of the subdistrict office hasn't come in the past two days since I came? He said he was sick, but someone told me that the deputy director was unhappy with my sudden appointment and was upset. You say, it's only been a few years, and our cadres have become corrupt? I can't believe it!"

"Sister Wang, please be careful with your words. Just say this in front of us. If it gets out, someone will take advantage of it." Wu Li said.

Director Wang said nonchalantly, "There are only three of us in this room, who can say anything?" Suddenly seeing Shang Qi's strange look, Director Wang said to Wu Li, "You didn't tell me about our relationship?"

Wu Li slapped his forehead and said, "Sister Wang, what's the relationship between you and me? I am just a superior and a subordinate to your wife, but I have nothing to do with you. If the boss hears about this, he will definitely make things difficult for me."

Director Wang slapped Wu Li in anger and said, "You idiot, you guys drank my wine for nothing, and you ate a lot of the food I cooked. Now you say it's okay? It's too late. When I get home, I'll tell my wife that you, Wu Li, have nothing to do with me anymore."

"Sister, sister, you are my sister. Is it okay if I am wrong? I will do whatever you say, okay?" Wu Li begged for mercy.

Shang Qi couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw the look on Junior Master Wu Li's face. Wu Li turned his head and saw Shang Qi's expression and said directly, "Sister Wang used to be an underground member of Rabbit City 49. Her husband is now my immediate superior. They both have a good relationship with us. If you have anything to say, just feel free to tell me."

Shang Qi finally understood why Director Wang trusted him so much. He always asked him directly about everything and never beat around the bush. It turned out that he was one of his own.

Shang Qi quickly said, "Director Wang... No, Aunt Wang, look at what has happened. This is all Uncle Wu Li's fault. He didn't explain it clearly."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Can we tell you now?"

Shang Qi nodded and said, "I suspect that family has been murdered. The one who did it should be the deaf old lady. Don't be fooled by her kind face. She is an old witch and very vicious. When our family first came here..." Shang Qi told Director Wang about what happened when his family first came here, and also gave a brief account of the deaf old lady's background.

Director Wang nodded and replied, "I see. It seems that this is not just the business of our subdistrict office. We need to think about this matter carefully. Wu Li, I will need your help when the time comes."

Wu Li said directly: "No problem, I will arrest whoever you tell me to arrest, and I will kill whoever you tell me to kill!"

Director Wang rolled his eyes at Wu Li and said, "Just wait. I have sorted out most of the situation in the past period of time. I will use this opportunity to clean up the Street Office. A deputy director dared to give me the cold shoulder. I would have dealt with him long ago."

Wu Li and Shang Qi were both a little dazed when they saw Director Wang's domineering performance. Director Wang was indeed a front-line worker and was in charge of the most chaotic street office. Ordinary people would have been intimidated by his aura long ago.

Director Wang then turned to Shang Qi and said, "I heard that your second uncle is going to take over your position?"

Shang Qi nodded and replied, "Right away. Mainly because I have something else that I haven't finished yet. I'll make room for him once I'm done."

Wu Li looked at Shang Peng and asked, "Is this about the logistics of your steel mill?"

Shang Qi nodded and said, "It's okay to tell you. It's basically over now. Some people above are involved, and we are waiting for the result."

Director Wang asked with interest, "What was the outcome?" Then he continued as if explaining something, "Your uncle wouldn't let me ask about their case at home, so I was just curious."

Shang Qi glanced at Director Wang and didn't expect that women's gossip really doesn't matter based on position or age.

After thinking for a while, he said, "There's nothing to hide. I estimate that the document will be issued in two days. All the staff of the steel mill will be fired. Those with larger amounts will be given peanuts, and the others will go to the north to plant trees."

"Hiss..." X2

"Is it so serious?" Director Wang asked.

"It's okay. The main thing is what time it is now? The people above are all holding on, but they are enriching themselves. They are all full of food and have run into the muzzle of the gun. The people above want to set an example to warn the people below." Shang Peng answered nonchalantly.

Director Wang suddenly slammed the table and stood up, which scared Shang Peng and Wu Li. Then they saw Director Wang said, "No, I'm going to take action. It will be bad if these people take action as soon as the documents come down. Wu Li, go back and ask your brother-in-law to ask for the people. Tomorrow... No, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow morning I will give you the list, you will be responsible for arresting them, and we will do it directly for them."

"Ah? You want people? Sister, how many people do you want to arrest? I still need people." Wu Li was stunned. This Sister Wang was going to uproot the Street Office.

"There are twenty people in the entire street office, and I want to arrest thirteen of them. Tell me whether we need to transfer more people. It's not that I look down on you, but your few big cats and small cats are not enough for anything!" Director Wang said disdainfully.

"Okay! I'll do whatever you say. I'll apply tomorrow and let your husband prepare someone!"

After Director Wang finished speaking, he said goodbye to Shang Qi and took Wu Li with him. Shang Qi was stunned by his impetuous appearance. He thought to himself that this Director Wang was much better than the previous one, but it was his personality. Alas! No one is perfect. If he didn't have this personality, he wouldn't be able to manage the messy street before.

Shang Qi's side was over, and something happened again at Yi Zhonghai's house in the courtyard, but this situation was beyond Shang Peng's expectations.
