"I'm dying of laughter. I can't take it anymore. The princess is coming out?"
"Does our country still have princesses?"
"A princess from some dynasty has crawled out of her grave, right? This is just a daydream. I don't believe it."
Everyone was mocking him, especially Miao Jianyi, who was pointing at Ye Tian and holding his stomach.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"Hahaha!"
The more Ye Tian said this, the more people laughed and mocked him.
"Village head, I'm telling you that our village doesn't have time to come and welcome you tomorrow." Ye Tian shrugged. If he didn't believe it, then he wouldn't explain.
Shui Wenjun raised his hand to ask everyone to stop laughing.
"When Mr. Bao goes to the countryside for an inspection, all the village heads must be present."
"I'm asking for leave!"
"Do you think I will approve? Agent Ye, please abide by the organizational discipline." Shui Wenjun glared at Ye Tian.
"Yes, or you can stop being an agent and become a villager."
"Do you really think Fenghuang Village is a good place?" Miao Jianyi sneered.
"I really don't have time. I only have two hours."
"Ye Tian!"
Just when Shui Wenjun was about to scold, a Red Flag car with a special license plate stopped in front of everyone.
"Secretary Gao!"
Shui Wenjun smiled and reached out to open the car door for Bao Wenyuan's secretary.
Gao Qiang is in his thirties, well-mannered, and holding a briefcase in his hand.
"Chief Shui, your road needs repairing."
There was no handshake, but Shui Wenjun took the briefcase. The other village heads all smiled modestly when they saw Gao Qiang. Even Miao Jianyi quickly wiped his hands and came to Gao Qiang's side.
"Great leader, good!"
Miao Jianyi called Secretary Gao "leader", which made those who wanted to curry favor with him regret it.
"Look at Miao Jianyi, he only knows how to call the leader."
Gao Qiang glanced at Miao Jianyi and nodded.
“We’ve met before!”
"That was the 10,000 Village Cooperation Conference, with the senior leaders presiding over the work. I listened to this and, in my heart, I regarded the senior leaders as a guiding light and the direction for progress."
"We, the entire Linhe Village, want to hear the instructions from the senior leaders."
"Haha, really?"
Gao Qiang finally smiled and pointed at Miao Jianyi and said, "Shui Xiangzhang, Miao Village Chief is right."
"That's right. I also want to hear Secretary Gao's "brilliant opinion."
"please!"
"Welcome, Secretary Gao, to our township to guide our work." Shui Wenjun quickly asked people to applaud.
Ye Tian did not applaud. He did not like these "empty" welcoming activities.
Standing in front of the stairs, Ye Tian felt like a crane standing out from the crowd.
"Let's go!"
Gao Qiang nodded at everyone, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the township building. With his rank, he was truly a big leader in the township.
Everyone surrounded Gao Qiang and walked into the office building.
The venue was ready, and Gao Qiang sat at the front with Longjing tea next to him.
People from the township and village all took their seats.
First, Shui Wenjun gave a welcome speech for half an hour, followed by speeches from representatives such as Miao Jianyi, and finally Gao Qiang.
Ye Tian was listening in the audience, feeling drowsy.
After a long time, laughter was heard again in the conference hall.
"Princess?"
"The reason given by Phoenix Village is quite interesting."
"He's the acting village chief?"
Just now, Miao Jianyi told Gao Qiang what Ye Tian said as a joke. All the villagers will gather in the township to welcome Mr. Bao's inspection.
Only Phoenix Village wants to ask for leave.
"Ye Tian, Leader Gao, I'm asking you a question." Miao Jianyi was very proud and finally got revenge on Ye Tian.
Ye Tian opened his eyes, listened to the laughter from the people around him, and nodded.
"That's right. A princess is coming to our village tomorrow, so I won't be able to attend Mr. Bao's welcome ceremony. Please understand."
"You speak very convincingly." Gao Qiang twitched the corner of his mouth, and then fell silent.
This silence represents Gao Qiang's disapproval and contempt for Ye Tian.
Shui Wenjun of course also understood that Gao Qiang was a secretary, but he was Bao Wenyuan's secretary.
"Ye Tian, can't the village control you anymore? Don't forget, you are still in the probation period as an agent."
"Welcoming Mr. Bao is extremely important. Do you know what it means if you don't come?"
"Village head, I've already given you the reason. If you don't believe me, what can I do?"
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
"I have to make some arrangements when I return to the village."
Ye Tian stood up, yawned, turned around and was about to leave the venue.
“Bang!”
Shui Wenjun slammed the table, and Miao Jianyi next to him jumped up and shouted, "How presumptuous! Ye Tian, you are not qualified to be the village chief. I suggest that the township remove him from office."
"Also, have him write a self-criticism immediately. If there's no one in Phoenix Village tomorrow, all of Phoenix Village's quotas will be canceled."
"You're responsible for the consequences!"
