"Both my parents work in government institutions, and the leader who's currently in charge of this area is his trusted subordinate. Plus, Zhang Mingwei has also taken on the role of overseeing job transfers."
Lan Hua explained while driving: "My dad is the deputy section chief at a unit in the suburbs. He has been working there for many years and wants to transfer back to the city so that he doesn't have to commute back and forth—that's just too exhausting."
"Then, there's my mom, who works in the city. If Zhang Mingwei is willing to help me, just one word from him would be enough to transfer my dad to the city, even to work in the same unit as my mom. But he says it all depends on my performance, and he even threatened me, saying that if I don't obey, he could easily find faults with my parents and get them fired, ruining their pensions and benefits."
