"Expert team?"

Standing at the entrance of the village committee, with the dam behind him that was bustling yet in a mess, Huo Qianli looked at the three people in front of him and was stunned.

The three men had just got off a motorcycle. Their faces were sunburned and covered in sweat and dust, making them dirty. Sweat stains appeared on their chests and backs, and they looked quite disheveled.

Then they said they were the second group of experts from the Organization Department.

The slightly fat old man who was the leader of the three listened to Huo Qianli's words, pulled at his short-sleeved shirt that was stuck to his body, and said with a smile: "Why don't you make a phone call and ask?"

Just as Han Zhiyuan had guessed, this time the Organization Department indeed adopted a cross-scoring method, not only changing the scope of the villages that the experts were previously responsible for, but also allowing them to go directly without prior notice.

"That's not necessary!" After a moment of surprise, Huo Qianli regained his composure. Calculating the time, it was indeed the day for the semi-annual expert group assessment. He smiled and extended his hand, "Please follow me, all three of you."

Walking along the wall, bypassing the bustling and messy dam, the three of them headed towards the village committee's meeting room.

Halfway through, he happened to meet an old man who was looking for Gu Daqiang to stamp his document.

The old man smiled and greeted Huo Qianli, then looked at the three strangers behind him, "What are you doing?"

Huo Qianli smiled and said, "It's a team of experts from the province."

The leading expert smiled and said, "Hello, brother!"

Unexpectedly, the old man's face turned cold and he snorted, "You screwed us, Officer Huo, so badly last time. How dare you come here!"

The expert's expression froze, but the young man accompanying him was not happy and said disdainfully: "You can't poop, you blame the toilet. You blame the expert group for your own inability. This is really eye-opening!"

The old man became furious and was about to start scolding, but Huo Qianli quickly pulled him aside and tried to comfort him in a soft voice.

On the other side, the expert also turned his head and scolded: "What did I teach you? You have no right to speak without investigation! Who told you to draw such arbitrary conclusions?"

The young man pursed his lips and said unconvincedly: "Why didn't you investigate? The ranking is here."

"Did you see it with your own eyes? We should question the textbooks, but do you take the results of other people's investigations as the golden rule? If that's the case, what are we doing here?"

The young man shrank his neck and stopped talking.

After Huo Qianli appeased the villagers of the cooperative and came back, the leading expert smiled and said, "Xiao Huo, you are usually busy with work, so we won't waste any more of your time. Let's get straight to the point. First, please show us the results of your work this year!"

"Okay, no problem. But..." Huo Qianli looked embarrassed and said awkwardly: "How about you three sit in the office for a while while I go to the toilet first?"

"Haha! It's okay, we'll just wait and see here."

After Huo Qianli left, the three of them stood in the shade under the eaves and watched the busyness in the dam in front of them.

The young man who had been scolded earlier laughed and joked: "Isn't he going to pee to deploy work?"

Another middle-aged man at the side also smiled and said, "We came so suddenly, it's only natural that we let them prepare a little bit!"

"That's fine!" The leading expert wiped the sweat off his dirty face. "The real work content cannot be deployed in a few words or a few minutes."

They were right. Huo Qianli had indeed gone to the bathroom to make a phone call.

However, he did not go to deploy the work secretly, but called Han Zhiyuan.

Huo Qianli quickly told his worries and knocked his head in frustration, "I've been so busy lately that I actually forgot about this!"

"When faced with a major event, stay calm. Don't be anxious." Han Zhiyuan smiled after hearing what Huo Qianli said. "What you are worried about is nothing more than two major events happening at the same time in October. If the expert group makes some noise for you now, it will cause complications, right?"

Huo Qianli hummed.

Han Zhiyuan continued, "Let's analyze this calmly first. According to what you said, this expert is different from the previous ones. He is not ostentatious and can endure hardships. He seems to be a fair person. So if your work performance is indeed outstanding among your group of people, what will be the result if they report it truthfully?"

Huo Qianli thought for a moment, "I don't even have to rank first. Even if I rank in the top three or top five, compared to my previous results, I'm likely to have some trouble. If nothing happens, it's fine. The key is that I really don't have that much energy to deal with those things now."

"Haha!" Han Zhiyuan smiled slightly, "Have you ever thought that the Organization Department would let you rank so high this time?"

Huo Qianli was stunned for a moment, then he started to think about it, and slapped his thigh suddenly, "That's right! Isn't this just slapping yourself in the face!"

"So, even if the conclusions presented by the experts this time are fair and your achievements are outstanding, the Organization Department will not rank you very high directly. Instead, it will first choose a middle position, and then send someone to verify it privately and appease you. In the next period, that is, when the results of your cooperative's first year appear and the university event is a complete success, you will be ranked first. I estimate that your ranking this time will be around 20th."

Huo Qianli nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved, "I understand! Thank you, teacher."

A few minutes later, he walked towards the three experts with ease and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go now!"

The young man smiled and said, "You spent quite a while in the toilet!"

Huo Qianli waved his hand, "The experts are here, and the pressure is so great that I almost couldn't make it!"
