Wu Tian smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I met him because I saved his life before."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Director Sun tomorrow about a promotion for you. You just need to wait for good news."
Zhao Weimin was so excited he was about to cry. He said to Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, thank you so much. Whether this works out or not, I'll owe you a lifetime of gratitude!"
Wu Tian smiled noncommittally.
Beside him, Zhao Xiaoli looked at him, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light.
To her, Wu Tian was like a superhero. A man like him, it was impossible not to like him!
The next day, as agreed, Wu Tian went to the hotel where he had arranged to meet Sun Desheng.
This time, Sun Desheng was alone, waiting at the hotel entrance.
As soon as he saw Wu Tian approaching, he enthusiastically hugged him: "Wu Tian, it's so good to see you again, you make me so happy!"
Wu Tian returned the hug and then smiled, "Director Sun, aren't you being a bit too enthusiastic?"
Sun Desheng chuckled, "I'm just so happy to see you. You saved my life, who else would I hug?"
Wu Tian smiled and followed Sun Desheng into the hotel.
This hotel was even more upscale than the one Zhao Weimin had treated him to the previous day.
Not only that, but the receptionists at the entrance were even more beautiful.
The two receptionists were in uniform, with beautiful black sheer stockings on their long legs. They smiled sweetly, looking exceptionally good.
Wu Tian subconsciously glanced at them.
Sun Desheng immediately chuckled, "What's up, Wu Tian? See anyone you like?"
"As long as you say the word, I can send whoever you like, or both of them, to your room."
Wu Tian smiled helplessly, "Director Sun, what are you saying? You're the director of the Education Bureau, how can you talk like that?"
Sun Desheng burst into laughter, "Sorry, sorry, I was just joking with you."
"If you were really interested, I wouldn't agree!"
Wu Tian felt that Sun Desheng was very forthright and that they could get along well. He was already quite confident about the purpose of his visit today.
Upon entering the private room, Wu Tian saw that the dishes had already been served.
They were all high-end dishes. Wu Tian had eaten many good meals lately.
He could tell at a glance that these dishes probably cost tens of thousands.
However, this was nothing for Sun Desheng, as his wife was a big boss.
The two sat down and began to eat.
As Wu Tian ate, he asked, "Director Sun, how is your health recovering? Are you feeling well now?"
Sun Desheng patted his chest and said, "Thanks to you, I'm feeling great now."
"I even had a physical examination yesterday, and my body was found to be healthier than before. Isn't that strange?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's because I used three advanced acupuncture techniques simultaneously, and those advanced techniques have the effect of strengthening the body. So, it's quite normal."
Sun Desheng smiled and said, "Wu Tian, I'm truly grateful to you for this."
"I've heard the whole story. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life!"
"Oh, and there's one more thing I need to tell you."
"Liu Jie has been fired from the hospital and had his medical license revoked. He probably won't be able to work in this profession again."
Wu Tian didn't pay much attention to minor characters like Liu Jie, so he didn't feel particularly pleased.
However, such an outcome was quite good.
After all, Liu Jie was so malicious. If he were allowed to continue as a doctor, who knew what would happen.
The two ate and drank, and the meal was quite enjoyable.
As they were finishing, Sun Desheng asked Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, you mentioned you had something you needed my help with. What is it?"
Seeing that Sun Desheng had finally brought up the matter, Wu Tian said, "Director Sun, do you know Zhao Weimin?"
"Zhao Weimin?"
Sun Desheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I do. He's a senior clerk in our bureau. His qualifications and abilities are quite outstanding, and I quite admire him."
"What's wrong? You suddenly mention him, do you know him?"
Hearing Sun Desheng's words, Wu Tian immediately felt relieved.
He had been worried that Zhao Weimin might not be competent, but now it seemed he had been worrying unnecessarily.
Therefore, he asked, "Since Zhao Weimin's abilities and qualifications are not an issue, why hasn't he been promoted all these years?"
Sun Desheng replied, "Well, actually, when we were choosing a section chief, I intended to choose him."
"But during the meeting, everyone was recommending the current section chief, Luo Yiping."
"I wasn't familiar with the situation in the subordinate offices, but since everyone recommended Luo Yiping, I let him become the section chief."
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian nodded.
"In that case, I heard that your bureau is going to select a division chief. Why don't you let Zhao Weimin be the division chief?"
"Let him be the division chief?" Sun Desheng was surprised, "Wu Tian, what's your relationship with Zhao Weimin? Is this why you came to see me today?"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "That's right, it is."
"I heard that your bureau is also planning to nominate Luo Yiping for division chief, but I don't think Luo Yiping is suitable!"
"Do you know Luo Yiping too?" Sun Desheng asked.
Wu Tian nodded again, then told Sun Desheng about what had happened in the private room yesterday and Zhao Weimin's accusations against Luo Yiping.
After listening, Sun Desheng became furious.
He slammed the table and said, "Good heavens, so that's what's going on!"
"No wonder everyone was recommending Luo Yiping!"
"It turns out that Luo Yiping is quite skilled at managing relationships!"
Wu Tian said, "Director Sun, this is an internal matter for your bureau, and I shouldn't be interfering too much."
"But I still believe that for important positions, ability should come first, right?"
"If everyone only focuses on managing relationships and getting promoted, who will do their work diligently in the future?"
Sun Desheng nodded and said, "Wu Tian, you're right. What you've told me today has truly shocked me."
"I didn't expect the bureau to be so corrupt."
"It seems I need to hold a serious meeting when I return to the bureau and rectify the atmosphere."
Wu Tian said, "Of course, Director Sun, I'm only recommending Zhao Weimin to you. I'm not insisting that you promote him to division chief."
"After all, as I said, ability is important. If Zhao Weimin's abilities are not sufficient to be a division chief, then just pretend I never said anything!"
