It seems to confirm these people's speculations.

Just the day after the street office director was arrested, another deputy section-level official was apprehended.

Then on the third day, the fourth day...

Every day, one person was arrested.

The ranks were all deputy section level.

Although the ranks of those arrested were not high, this matter made leaders who had visited Yunhai Club feel a chill down their spines.

This obviously orchestrated way of arresting people, even the dumbest person could see that the police did it on purpose!

The reason for doing so is also clear: someone wants to corner Luo Sanming!

These ordinary leaders being arrested, it doesn't matter.

But among the clients of Yunhai Club, there were leaders with not-so-low ranks.

Once the scandal is exposed, it's likely to spread across the entire internet.

When Zhang Yan learned of this, her first reaction was that she was being played!

She angrily called Qu Xiangru, but no one answered.

She then called Wu Qiangwei, and still, no one answered.

Finally, she called Song Guanchao.

The call went through.

"Song Guanchao, you didn't keep your word!"

Zhang Yan shouted angrily.

Song Guanchao chuckled and said, "Mayor Zhang, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"You..."

"Oh, the signal here isn't that good."

Song Guanchao hung up the phone.

This woman was really dumb enough to naively think that he would spare Luo Sanming.

Zhang Yan sat in her office, feeling both angry and somewhat powerless.

Song Guanchao arresting one person every day was his way of telling those high-ranking leaders at Yunhai Club that he already had all the videos from the club.

As long as Luo Sanming wasn't dead, he would continue to arrest people!

For the first time, Zhang Yan felt so powerless.

Faced with Song Guanchao's near open-plot tactics, there was nothing she could do.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

The caller was actually a leader from the provincial level.

"Hello..."

"Mayor Zhang, do you know this Luo Sanming?"

Zhang Yan swallowed: "He's my classmate."

"Oh, a classmate, huh, hehe."

The other party paused for a few seconds and said, "This Yunhai Club of Luo Sanming's is quite implicated. You have nothing to do with this club, right?"

Zhang Yan's heart trembled; she already guessed the purpose of this call.

This was to make her take a stand.

To continue helping Luo Sanming or to abandon him.

Zhang Yan pressed her lips tightly, tears streaming down.

Reason told her that she must sever ties with Luo Sanming.

But emotionally, she couldn't do it.

She was very pained.

But in the end, she said, "Yes, I have nothing to do with Yunhai Club."

The other party seemed very satisfied, made a sound of acknowledgment, and then hung up the phone.

As soon as the phone call ended, Zhang Yan collapsed and cried on her desk.

She knew she couldn't save Luo Sanming.

…

Three days later, Song Guanchao received a call from Liang Jianfeng.

"Luo Sanming is dead."

"Oh."

Song Guanchao wasn't surprised at all.

He even thought it had taken a bit long.

The news of Luo Sanming's death didn't spread widely, clearly indicating that someone deliberately suppressed the information.

But among the higher-ups in Lingjiang, this news couldn't be kept quiet.

Upon learning of Luo Sanming's death, some people sighed in relief, while others felt a chill in their hearts.

Anyone familiar with Luo Sanming knew how powerful his influence was in Lingjiang.

Even the former mayor had to act according to his mood.

But this was a big shot with a black background and special relations in the Provincial City; he ended in such a way.

In a laughable manner, he died in prison.

Some said Wu Qiangwei was the instigator; others thought Luo Sanming had offended Qu Xiangru.

Some also said that the provincial level had long been watching Yunhai Club.

Only a few knew that Luo Sanming was schemed against by Song Guanchao.

These all had nothing to do with Song Guanchao anymore.

He was now waiting for the notice for Youth Class training.

And, to complete the Tongchi District subway construction plan before the training.

The two plots of land had already been publicly tendered, and on the day of bidding, only New City Company placed a bid.

With no competitors, New City Company acquired it at the base price.

However, this made Chairman Liu of New City a joke in the real estate sector.

Now everyone knew that Chairman Liu of New City spent tens of millions to buy two plots of land with no development potential.

Liu Lanzi completely ignored this.

…

"Lin Qichang, notify the comrades of each bureau to come for a team meeting this afternoon."

"Okay."

Song Guanchao thought he might need to find a secretary.

He couldn't keep asking Lin Min for everything; after all, Lin Min was also a deputy district head.

However, he noticed that Lin Min didn't seem to mind his commands.

In fact, she seemed to enjoy it somewhat.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all members of the Tongchi District Government team arrived at the temporary office of Song Guanchao on the first floor of the City Committee.

This was the first team meeting convened by Song Guanchao.

The few deputy district heads of the district government were not strangers to him, but the departments below hadn't met him yet.

Song Guanchao glanced around; there were indeed quite a number of people.

"Prior to this, I was busy and didn't have the chance to greet the comrades."

Song Guanchao said, "Today's meeting is about two things. First, to get to know everyone."

"I've always heard that the office efficiency of the Tongchi District Government is the worst in all districts and counties in Ling'an City."

"Before I came, if efficiency was poor, I didn't care. After I arrived, if there are still issues reported by the public, first a warning, second, dismissal from the post, third, a vote in the meeting, and dismissal."

The leaders present widened their eyes upon hearing his approach to handling issues.

The director of the district education bureau seemed uncertain and asked, "Dismissal?"

Song Guanchao asked back, "Is there a problem?"

"No..."

The smile of the district education bureau director was very forced.

It's known that civil servants in the system are said to have an 'iron rice bowl.'

Generally, unless they make a fundamental mistake, they won't be dismissed.

What are fundamental mistakes?

Breaking the law or committing a crime...

Like drunk driving.

Because ordinarily, even the mayor doesn't have the power to dismiss a minor officer.

Dismissal requires a special meeting and a vote.

But generally, no leader would hold such a meeting just to dismiss a minor officer.

Even if the meeting passes, it still requires approval from the personnel department of the appointment and dismissal body.

In short, the procedure is very complicated and cumbersome.

It is precisely because of this cumbersome procedure that there are many people in the system who do nothing and behave like parasites.

Because they know that as long as they do not make a major mistake, this job can basically last a lifetime.

However, Song Guanchao was now telling them that if someone doesn't perform well, they would still be dismissed.

If someone else said such words, they wouldn't take it seriously.

But since these words came from Song Guanchao, they dared not doubt it.

Because they knew that Song Guanchao really could do such a thing.

Seeing everyone silent, Song Guanchao felt very satisfied.

He also didn't want to threaten unnecessarily, but these people fear power rather than appreciate virtues.

Moreover, as a leader, the more politely you speak, the more your subordinates think you are easy to fool.

On the contrary, one instance of 'killing a chicken to warn the monkeys', and you can truly understand the meaning of leadership.
