Over there, Fan Zhijian set off early in the morning.

More than an hour later, they arrived in the county town.

It was time for work.

Fan Zhijian headed straight for County Chief Chen's office in the building.

County Chief Chen was in charge of industry, and was also the superior of these state-owned factories.

County Chief Chen called him yesterday.

Standing at the door of County Chief Chen's office, Fan Zhijian took a deep breath.

For ten years since he became the director of the agricultural machinery factory, he has never dared to breathe loudly in front of County Magistrate Chen.

The agricultural machinery factory is not doing well, and Fan Zhijian is afraid of being asked how the factory is doing this year.

Is the profit acceptable?

He had previously invited Gu Yunyang to be his advisor, trusting in Gu Yunyang's abilities.

However, without producing any tangible results, Fan Zhijian was still quite uneasy.

I knocked on the door.

County Chief Chen looked up and saw Fan Zhijian at the door. His face furrowed and he said, "Come in."

Although many of the reports are baseless.

But there are also many times when they are targeted.

If they hadn't been wronged, they wouldn't have thought of reporting it.

Moreover, he hadn't received any information about when the agricultural machinery factory hired the consultant.

Isn't this just ridiculous?

"County Chief Chen." Fan Zhijian forced a smile, his voice trembling slightly from nervousness.

When County Chief Chen saw this, he thought Fan Zhijian was feeling guilty.

That's true. If they weren't guilty, they would have come a couple of days earlier.

"County Chief Chen, it's the weekend, and you're still working overtime?" Fan Zhijian was still trying to figure out how to start the conversation, but to County Chief Chen, it sounded like a sign of guilt.

"Just tell me what's on your mind."

County Chief Chen decided to give Fan Zhijian some face, after all, Fan Zhijian had been working diligently and conscientiously since taking office.

Although his abilities are average, he has never made any significant changes.

But I still have a sense of responsibility.

Moreover, Fan Xiangbei was behind him, so County Chief Chen still had to give him some face.

County Chief Chen also had some thoughts on this and planned to replace the director of the agricultural machinery factory.

I hadn't found an opportunity or an excuse before.

Now, this advisory matter has conveniently provided County Chief Chen with an excuse.

There are only so many factories in the county. Revitalizing just one of them can bring significant benefits to the county.

He was also selfless and devoted to public service.

Fan Zhijian's mouth moved, but he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"That's right, County Head Chen. Our agricultural machinery factory has always been under your leadership, playing a socialist role..."

He rambled on and on, but didn't get to the point.

County Chief Chen was tired of hearing it. Over the years, every time he convened a meeting with these factory directors, it was the same set of praises and commendations.

Fan Zhijian's plan was simply to first praise County Chief Chen and then reveal the truth.

County Chief Chen could then proactively help secure the bicycle factory's license, making things much easier for him.

As a result, his flattery backfired.

"Alright, Director Fan." County Magistrate Chen frowned and said, "Just say what you need to say. I have a lot of things to do here. This afternoon, I need to go to the winery to take a look..."

The impatience in County Chief Chen's voice was quite obvious.

Moreover, he was already thinking about when and where he would find an opportunity to replace Fan Zhijian.

As for Fan Zhijian, let's just find him a retirement job and settle him down.
