Features: This book is the second part of the "Public Servant Trilogy" (Part 1, The Atypical Public Servant, was published in 2003). It narrates how Mayor Shao Qian left Mengyang in resentment, yet Mayor Li Peiyuan failed to become the Party Secretary. A clownish woman named Zhao Yulan, who flattered the Deputy Party Secretary Su Xiujiang, became the beneficiary of the situation. Like all corrupt officials without ideals or long-term vision, Zhao Yulan's mindset was to grab as much as possible and leave, turning the political scene of Mengyang into a mess and causing the people of Mengyang immense suffering. By comparing Zhao Yulan, Li Peiyuan came to realize the many virtues of Shao Qian, regretting his mistakes but feeling helpless. Fortunately, Su Xiujiang gradually recognized Zhao Yulan's true nature. A petty villain can only ( means "" in Chinese, which translates to "" in English, but since the original text is in Chinese, it remains unchanged here), but the victory in the anti-corruption struggle depends on higher-level leaders correcting their mistakes in personnel appointments. The implications of this matter are profound, and all those in power should deeply reflect on it.
