Chapter 410: Promotion in Name but Demotion in Depth



"Deputy SJ Zhao, you're looking for me?"

Zhao Xuehai looked at Wu Gang with a fake smile, "Xiao Wu, sit down. I have something to talk to you about."

Wu Gang pulled out the chair in front of Zhao Xuehai's desk and sat halfway on it respectfully. "Deputy SJ Zhao, please let me know if you have anything to say."

"It's like this. The county magistrate of Pingshan County has been transferred to another place, and the position of county magistrate there has been vacant. During the meeting today, I recommended you to take over."

Wu Gang was overjoyed. While trying to recall where Pingshan County was, he bowed three times to Zhao Xuehai Rui.

"Deputy SJ Zhao, I will work diligently and do my best to live up to your support and cultivation."

Zhao Xuehai waved his hand, "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Vice President Zhao, please speak!"

Wu Gang was so excited that he looked at Zhao Xuehai with more respect and earnestness than he looked at his own father.

"As for me, I recommend you to take over as the mayor of Pingshan County, but the higher-ups think you are too young and inexperienced, and you still have a lot to learn and grow. For the time being, I will let you start as the deputy mayor. You should work harder and strive to achieve some results, and then you can move up."

"Yes! Deputy SJ Zhao, I will do my best!"

Although the deputy county magistrate is not as good as the county magistrate, he is at least at the deputy division level, which is one level higher than his current section level.

Not a loss!

After returning to the office, Wu Gang immediately took out a map to check where Pingshan County was. When he found Pingshan County, the smile on his face froze.

Pingshan County is a small county under the jurisdiction of a neighboring city. Not only is it two or three hundred kilometers away from Anshi City, it is also an extremely impoverished county!

Although he was only a secretary beside Zhao Xuehai, he was a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, and even those leaders at the deputy director level or above were polite to him.

But now he has been transferred to an extremely impoverished county, and is only a deputy county magistrate. His treatment and status may be even lower than that of a village chief like his brother-in-law.

He was promoted in name only but demoted in reality!

Although he felt extremely regretful and unwilling, Wu Gang did not dare to go to Zhao Xuehai to cry and complain about his grievances.

Because he knew that Zhao Xuehai treated him like this just to help the Huang family vent their anger.

In fact, Wu Gang was too narrow-minded. Even if Zhao Xuehai wanted to repay Yun Mo's favor, he would not mess around with work matters.

The reason why Wu Gang was transferred away was that Zhao Xuehai saw through the matter of Village Chief Lu that Wu Gang, the secretary, had wild intentions. He was worried that if he stayed, he would sooner or later cause trouble and implicate himself, so he sent him away as soon as possible.

But Wu Gang couldn't understand this. He was convinced that Zhao Xuehai treated him like this because of the Huang family.

The next day, Yun Mo and the Huang family were busy cleaning the match factory when Village Chief Lu suddenly came.

Wu Gang was with Village Chief Lu. The two of them were carrying large and small bags of expensive gifts. As soon as they saw Yun Mo, they apologized profusely, which confused Yun Mo and the Huang family.

"Village Chief Lu, please don't be like this. We have already terminated the contract and received the compensation we deserve. We are even now. You have nothing to blame us for."

Looking at Yun Mo's pretty face, Village Chief Lu felt completely unsure.

My brother-in-law has worked for Zhao Xuehai for so many years, conscientiously and diligently. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. But he was transferred away just like that, to a poverty-stricken county like Pingshan County where no one even lives.

Maybe he will be the next unlucky one.

It took him more than ten years to get to his current position. If he were demoted like this, he wouldn't even have time to cry.

"Miss Yun, I was blind before, it's all my fault. Please be magnanimous and don't bear it with me. These are my little gifts, they are all excellent supplements. You can take them back to Sister Huang and Uncle Huang to replenish their bodies. Please accept them."

Although Yun Mo was not clear about the motive of Village Chief Lu's visit, she could probably guess something. Naturally, she didn't want these things, nor did she dare to accept them.

But Village Chief Lu and Wu Gang were determined. They said a lot of apologies, then put down their things and ran away.

"Momo, what do Village Chief Lu and the others mean by this?"

Yun Mo shook her head, "I don't know."

Huang Zhiqiu looked at the gifts on the ground. Just from the packaging, he knew they were not cheap.

"So what do we do with these things?"

Yun Mo thought for a moment, then turned to everyone and said, "Mom, Grandpa, you guys pack up first. I'm going to the hospital to visit Old Madam Zhao."

Huang Kailin nodded, "They have helped us so much, we should go and take a look and thank them."

Huang Zhiqiu followed up, "Momo, buy something. Don't go empty-handed."

Chen Bin smiled and said, "Why not just pick up the things on the ground?"

Chen Bin was just joking, but Yun Mo took it seriously and actually went with Ling Chuan to carry all the things.

Old Mrs. Zhao was staying in a high-end VIP ward. Yun Mo and Ling Chuan were strangers and were stopped in the corridor by the nurse. They were not allowed to pass until Zhao Yazhi came out to confirm.

"Yun Mo, Brother Ling, I'm really sorry. My grandma needs to rest, but there are always people coming to visit her under various pretexts, so I asked the nurses to keep a close eye on her and not let anyone in."

Yun Mo smiled and nodded, "It's okay, I understand. Is the old lady feeling better?"

"Much better. Actually, she can be discharged from the hospital now, but my parents are worried and insist that grandma stay in the hospital for two more days for observation."

As they were talking, three people entered the ward.

Maybe it was because it was still early, there were only Old Mrs. Zhao and a middle-aged woman who looked like a nanny in the ward.

"Grandma, this is Yun Mo who saved you. She came specially to visit you."

Old Mrs. Zhao had obviously recovered well. She was in high spirits and had a rosy complexion. She looked at Yun Mo with a kind and grateful look.

"Miss Yun, I should have come to thank you in person, but it's tiring for you to come and see me. Come and sit down, don't stand. Xiao Zhu, move the chairs for them."

The nanny responded with a smile and moved two chairs behind Yun Mo and Ling Chuan.

Yun Mo thanked him, put down the things in her hands, sat on the chair, and saw Mrs. Zhao looking at Ling Chuan, so she introduced him: "Mrs. Zhao, this is my husband. His name is Ling Chuan. Ling means the top of Ling, and Chuan means the sea embraces all rivers."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and nodded. "Not bad, not bad. This is a good name. You are handsome too. You two look like a perfect couple."

Ling Chuan's face turned red because of the old lady's praise.

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Yun Mo saw that she was getting tired, so she tactfully stood up and said goodbye.

Zhao Yazhi saw them off.

After leaving the ward, Yun Mo whispered briefly about what happened in the morning when Village Chief Lu and Wu Gang came over.

"...They suddenly came over, said a lot of apologies, and then left the things behind and ran away. We didn't know what to do with them, so we simply took the opportunity to visit the old lady and brought all the things over. Sister Zhao, I hope it won't cause any trouble to you and Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Yazhi waved his hands as if nothing had happened. "It's okay, it's okay. My dad will take care of it. You don't have to worry."

"That's good."
