Super Zoo-Chapter 397 - 393 You Set a Good Example

```

Qian’s downfall happened swiftly and decisively, with no quarter given. He was directly expelled from the party membership. They didn’t dismiss him from public office, but they did make him retire early. Barely in his forties, not yet fifty, and already retired—Qian certainly made a name for himself.

Suming was on his way back to the zoo.

Tony finally got to play the ’knight’ he yearned to be, even though it was a knight that invaded a beauty salon. But the mere thought of upholding ’justice’ made the young man’s sense of honor soar. Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised; initially, he thought Suming would resort to the old tactics using evidence to threaten and co-opt Qian. Instead, Suming handed the materials directly to Mr. Wu, allowing him to take them to the county office, bring Qian down honorably and squarely.

"Threaten and co-opt? That would be illegal," Suming shrugged, "Why would I take the crooked path when there’s a straight one to walk?"

"Hm?" Zhao Yun squinted and smiled, "You never thought that he might eventually find out about the panda appearing in Sun Town and realize you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"If he tells the investigators he got beat up by a panda, do you believe they might commit him to a mental hospital that very day? As for him figuring it out on his own…" Suming laughed nonchalantly, "Mr. Zhao, first, I haven’t broken the law, and secondly, even if he finds out, what can he do?"

Indeed, there wasn’t much he could do. Having a panda was legal, and Suming catching Qian red-handed was not entrapment. The punches he got from the panda wouldn’t even count as minor injuries. At most, they’d compensate him with a few hundred yuan.

"You’re now taking the dominant and straightforward approach," Zhao Yun joked, then analyzed, "But it’s good this way too. There’s no need to always try to curry favor. Sometimes, it’s not a bad thing to be forceful. If you had gone to beg Qian, he might not have even cared."

The more Zhao Yun observed Suming, the more he felt that the lad was maturing too quickly. Always laughing and joking, but when it came to handling matters, he was second to none, even compared to those well-versed in political maneuvers.

The matter was actually quite simple. The national ethos was being strictly enforced, and the strings were being pulled very tightly. Although Qian wasn’t a civil servant, he was directly governed by the government. As long as there was solid evidence, there was no fear of not being able to bring him down.

Gathering evidence was even simpler. Qian was too arrogant in his conduct. With just a bit of diligence, anyone could collect the evidence. Suming’s approach had a bit of humor to it, actually. If it were Zhao Yun doing it, he would take a more reliable approach.

"The old saying goes, ’Don’t take even a needle or thread from the masses, let alone a pig raised by the public?’ " Suming stated with righteous indignation, "People like Qian ought to be kicked out. Cadres like Wu deserve to be promoted."

"Stop the nonsense," Zhao Yun laughed, "Alright, take me home first."

...

After returning to Yangchuan City, Suming learned that some things have happened in Yangchuan City recently. First, the province had sent an inspector to Yangchuan City for an on-site investigation and research of economic construction, which is an annual event. Data and actual local conditions from various regions are collected and reported up the chain to provide references for the higher-ups’ strategic planning.

In recent years, the overall economic situation in Yangchuan City has improved, with the GDP growth rate ranking among the top in the province. Due to his outstanding work performance, the vice-mayor in charge of economics, Wang Jian She, had been promoted to Executive Deputy Mayor, still overseeing economic construction.

Living up to his name, Wang Jian She focused on construction. His name was indeed lucky. The people of his generation had very characteristic names—Jianshe, Aiguo, Aijun... Suming knew many people from this age bracket, and at least half of them had such names.

After the visitor from the province left, Wang Jian She officially took up his new position. His first action was to attend the city’s mid-year economic development work conference, where a series of arrangements were made. At the end of the conference, the mayor specifically mentioned, "We must pay equal attention to spiritual and cultural development and economic growth. Both must be done well. The higher authorities have affirmed our city’s economic construction and hope that we will strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization and bring to light more exemplary deeds. For instance, recently, Comrade Suming from the zoo did a fine job in Xiangjiang displaying an act of righteousness…"

Speaking of which, Suming received the title of Honorary Citizen last time he was in Xiangjiang. The timing of this award was impeccable. Even the Yangchuan City Government benefited, gaining a respectable achievement.

Soon after, a vigorous campaign for the construction of spiritual civilization began across various departments in Yangchuan City.

Suming had only been back at the zoo for a couple of days before Wang Hao invited him over for a simple meal. After eating, Wang Jian She took Suming aside to talk in the study for over half an hour, implying through the conversation that he hoped the zoo would lead by example and further strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization.

"I should lead the way—oh no, the zoo should lead the way?"

"If not you, then who? The mayor praised you by name at the meeting." Wang Jian She glared, "What, are you unwilling?"

Suming wasn’t unwilling—it was supporting the work of the city administration backed by Wang Jian She, and it was almost a duty. But he had some concerns and asked, "Mr. Wang… Err, I have no problem leading the way, but what exactly should we do? I’ve never really been in charge of this. Should we hold a mobilization meeting, help the elderly cross the street, donate to impoverished mountainous areas?"

If that was the case, it seemed rather superficial. Suming thought since he had decided to take the lead and support Wang Jian She’s work, it should be done impressively. If the task Wang told him to carry out ended up being done perfunctorily, it wouldn’t look good for Wang either.

Wang Jian She said with a chuckle, "As for the specific forms of spiritual civilization construction, we don’t need to be confined to formalities. Each unit should develop its own plans based on its actual situation. For example, the city library is carrying out special reading events. Anything that enriches the spiritual lives of the people is good."

Wang Jian She’s initiative to talk with Suming showed that the city was serious about the construction of spiritual civilization. Through Wang Hao, Wang Jian She also revealed a message: if the zoo ever aimed to be rated as a 3A or 4A tourist attraction, spiritual culture, or rather humanistic construction, was an important scoring factor, even a decisive one, more important than those criteria set on paper.

On his way back, Suming kept thinking about this matter. Several ideas came to mind, but none of them were fully formed, and as he pondered, they all seemed inadequate in one way or another, leading to their rejection.

As the saying goes, ’The wisdom of the crowd is greater than that of the few.’ The zoo had many seasoned employees with a wealth of experience who might have some good suggestions. Therefore, after returning to the zoo, Suming specially convened a meeting. He gathered the zoo’s key staff members and the older employees to brainstorm and decide what the zoo should do.
