"You're trying to arrest me?" Wu Tian chuckled. "That won't do. It seems I'll have to kill you before you can call the police!"
Wu Tian's words were terrifying.
Although Luo Yiping appeared arrogant on the outside, he was actually quite cowardly.
So, upon hearing Wu Tian's words, he immediately blurted out, "Don't do anything rash! Please, don't do anything rash!"
Wu Tian replied, "I won't do anything rash if you cooperate. But that depends on your performance."
"This private room today, do you want it or not?"
Wu Tian's words were spoken lightly.
But everyone could tell that he was completely threatening Luo Yiping.
Fearing that Wu Tian might do something to him, Luo Yiping quickly said, "I don't want it, I don't want it, alright!"
"Hurry up and let me up. I'm an old man, I can't handle this kind of torment!"
Wu Tian lifted his foot, and Luo Yiping felt as if a mountain had been lifted off him.
He shakily stood up, then instinctively took two steps back, his gaze towards Wu Tian filled with apprehension and anger.
But he didn't dare to do anything to Wu Tian. Wu Tian had already been so disrespectful to him.
If he wasn't sensible, he might get beaten up!
Therefore, despite a million unspoken grievances, Luo Yiping could only choose to compromise.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you're amazing, I can't do anything to you!"
"But! Zhao Weimin! Regardless, we've now made an enemy of each other."
"If you're really capable, don't come to my office tomorrow!"
"Otherwise, I guarantee you won't be able to work in the office!"
After speaking, he met Wu Tian's cold gaze, trembled all over, and then fled.
The private room fell silent. No one expected that the young man who had been chatting so amiably with them earlier would have such a stern side.
Zhao Xiaoli asked tremblingly, "Wu, Wu Tian, is that really you?"
Wu Tian knew he had scared everyone, so he smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Of course, it's me."
"When dealing with people like that, you really have to be ruthless, otherwise, they'll just keep pushing their luck."
Zhao Jianguo said with lingering fear, "But your methods were a bit too harsh?"
"He's a section chief, after all. When tomorrow comes, Weimin..."
"It's fine with me," Zhao Weimin said directly. "I think Wu Tian did a great job. If it weren't for being in the system, I would have beaten him up long ago."
Zhao Jianguo asked, "Weimin, how did things turn out like this?"
"Didn't that Luo Yiping join the Education Bureau later than you?"
"How is it that he ended up becoming a section chief before you?"
Hearing this, a hint of bitterness appeared on Zhao Weimin's face.
"There's nothing I can do. That guy is too good at flattery. In that regard, I'm indeed not as good as him."
"Among all the leaders in the bureau, except for Director Sun who he couldn't handle, he's managed to win over almost all the other leaders."
"With those leaders listening to him, the position of section chief naturally became his."
"I think, if he's indeed the next division chief, he must have spent quite a bit of money to get this position."
"So that's how it is," Zhao Jianguo said indignantly. "What kind of world is this? Those who do their jobs well don't get promoted."
"Instead, people who take crooked paths live so comfortably. It's truly unfair!"
Zhao Weimin smiled bitterly, "But what can be done? I don't want it to be like this either."
"But the fact is, Luo Yiping's method is the best."
"Forget it, forget it. Once he becomes division chief, I'll just resign. It'll save me from being disgusted by him."
Although he said this with a sense of detachment, Wu Tian still noticed a hint of dejection in Zhao Weimin's expression.
He knew that Zhao Weimin must have felt resentful. Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh and say, "Uncle, you don't need to belittle yourself so much. Leave this matter to me."
"Leave it to you to handle?"
Zhao Weimin was surprised by Wu Tian's words and paused for a moment.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "That's right, leave it to me. I have a way to get you promoted to division chief."
"What did you say?!" Wu Tian's news was like a thunderclap, instantly striking Zhao Weimin.
He looked at Wu Tian, his eyes trembling, and said, "You can promote me to division chief? Why do you say that!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I know the director of the Education Bureau, Sun Desheng."
"If I ask him for a favor, he should consider it."
Zhao Weimin could hardly believe his ears. He said in disbelief, "Wu Tian, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"How could you possibly know Director Sun?"
Zhao Xiaoli also chimed in, "Wu Tian, are you telling the truth? You can't joke about something like this!"
Wu Tian continued to smile, "When have I ever lied to anyone? If you don't believe me, I can call Director Sun right now!"
With that, under everyone's tense gaze, Wu Tian found Sun Desheng's number and dialed it.
The call was answered quickly.
Because Wu Tian had the speakerphone on, Sun Desheng's voice came through directly: "Hello, who is this?"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Weimin was stunned and exclaimed, "Is that really Director Sun?!"
After Zhao Weimin's confirmation, Zhao Xiaoli's family was also astonished.
Wu Tian gestured for them to remain silent and then smiled, "Director Sun, it's me, Wu Tian."
"Wu Tian!" The voice on the other end of the line clearly became excited.
"Is this your phone number? Why are you calling me so suddenly?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just have something I need to trouble you with. Please don't refuse!"
"You need my help?" Sun Desheng paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, "That's great! I owe you a favor and I didn't know how to repay it!"
"How about this, I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow noon. I must thank you properly again for saving my life!"
Wu Tian thought that such matters were indeed better discussed over a meal, so he nodded and said, "I understand. I'll be there tomorrow."
Sun Desheng stated a time and address, and then they finished their conversation.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Tian looked at everyone and found them staring at him as if he were a monster, as if there were flowers on his face.
Wu Tian couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong with you all? Why aren't you saying anything!"
Zhao Weimin said tremblingly, "Wu Tian, you actually know Director Sun. It's truly unbelievable!"
