Chapter 169 A New Official's First Three Actions



Xu Xiangyang was satisfied with Qian Wenqing's words.

It wasn't a waste of time to train this kid; he's just too honest.

After they finished moving their things, someone came over to tell them that they needed to go to a meeting outside.

Xu Xiangyang understood that a large meeting was about to be held.

With two new bureau chiefs taking office, we need to go and see what's going on.

The three arrived at the courtyard, where many people were already standing.

There's a small platform and a loudspeaker in front, probably to make sure people in the back can hear it.

Xu Xiangyang looked around at the people. Apart from the frontline workers who were still working, everyone else had come.

A quick glance suggests there are at least five or six hundred people.

It must be said that the Grain Bureau is indeed very large.

At this moment, several people walked out of the office building. The two people in front were dressed very well and were obviously leading cadres.

Of course, most people wouldn't dare to walk at the very front.

When Xu Xiangyang saw one of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Xu, isn't that the same person we saw at the state-run restaurant the day before yesterday?" Qian Wenqing asked, somewhat surprised.

He felt a little uneasy. This guy was obviously a leader. What if he found out about the two of them and made things difficult for them?

Xu Xiangyang didn't know if the other person was petty or not, and besides, nothing much happened that day. They just exchanged a few words and didn't offend anyone.

Anyway, Qian Wenqing was very uneasy and scared.

A man in his thirties, slightly overweight, smiled and nodded to the person next to him before going up on stage.

"Comrades, good afternoon. I am the newly appointed director, my name is Ji Jiandong..."

This person introduced himself, then said some encouraging words and used some advanced language before stepping down from the stage.

Next up was the man with the gold-rimmed glasses. He walked onto the stage with a refined and courteous air and then bowed.

"Hello everyone, I apologize for taking up your valuable time. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Zhenyu, and I come from Beiping. I previously worked in an important working group in Beiping, and it is truly an honor to be here with you all..."

A whole bunch of blah blah blah.

Xu Xiangyang had to admit that this person was much better at talking than Director Ji Jiandong; he was clearly a smooth talker.

Of course, whether he has real skills or not remains to be seen; nobody knows for sure right now.

Ji Jiandong showed no interest in his speech and kept talking to his secretary, indicating that he had a lot to do.

A new broom sweeps clean, but where will the first one start? We don't know yet.

Xu Xiangyang looked at them, then said goodbye to Qian Wenqing beside him and left first.

Once the specific tasks are assigned, someone will naturally notify him; it's cold standing here.

It's already late November, but there's only been one snowfall, which melted away before we could even get a good footing.

Xu Xiangyang rubbed his hands together in frustration, then returned to his office.

It's so warm here, with a stove and hot water. Standing there listening to them preach is pointless.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Master Chen and Qian Wenqing returned, shivering from the cold.

"Xiao Xu, you're so smart. You didn't say anything at all and just waited there for half a day!" Master Chen sighed and quickly moved closer to the stove.

It's freezing cold. I didn't feel anything at first, but after half an hour I couldn't stand it anymore.

I want to come back, but I'm also worried that I've waited so long, what if I leave and say something important?

So, the two of them waited there.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and asked, "Did the two bureau chiefs say anything important?"

Since they've waited so long, they must have heard some news, right?

Qian Wenqing looked angry. "What important thing? He only said he would visit each department in the next couple of days, and didn't mention anything else."

Well, doesn't that mean we didn't say anything at all?

Xu Xiangyang was glad he had the foresight; otherwise, if he had just stood there waiting, he would have frozen solid.

Look at these two over there, they've been warming themselves by the stove.

Now that the new director has taken office, they are just waiting to go on a business trip.

In fact, Xu Xiangyang had been restless for a long time, but he had no choice but to wait.

He had only left a month's worth of food for Liujia Village, and now almost three months have passed. He wondered if those people would still be waiting for him.

What if the ginseng freezes to death? Wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?

In Northeast China, ginseng cultivation requires protection from the cold; it must be kept warm before the ground freezes.

Leaves, corn stalks, or soybean stalks can all be used to keep warm.

It's been almost two months since I last went there, so it's not impossible that they've given up on me.

Xu Xiangyang was anxious, but he didn't have any good ideas and could only wait.

Next time I go, I must leave several months' worth of food, otherwise it will cause problems.

After lunch, he returned to his office absentmindedly and sat down to pick his teeth.

Qian Wenqing and Master Chen returned from smoking outside and sat by the stove to warm themselves.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and someone came in.

Xu Xiangyang narrowed his eyes slightly. Wasn't this the secretary of Director Xiao Zhenyu? The two of them had met before when they were having dinner at a restaurant.

He was taken aback when he saw the three people in the room, two of whom he had met before.

However, he came here for work, and soon returned to normal.

"I am Song Yiming, Director Xiao's secretary. I'm here today to inform you that I'm aware of your driver recruitment plan and that we can begin hiring tomorrow."

Master Chen immediately got up to greet them, then said he understood and warmly invited them to sit down for a while.

Song Yiming said clearly, "No need, there's still other work to be done, you guys go ahead and get busy."

After saying that, he left, taking one last look at Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing before he left.

Qian Wenqing felt a chill run down his spine under his gaze and felt guilty!

But thinking about it, they embarrassed me that day, so they probably won't come looking for trouble, right?

He glanced at Xu Xiangyang and saw that the other man seemed completely unaffected, which inexplicably made him feel relieved.

Anyway, this matter is over now. He's a big bureau chief, he shouldn't cause trouble for anyone, right?

Xu Xiangyang didn't take it seriously, because he was used to it and didn't have that much social interaction anyway. The director was different from him.

He's busy every day, and he's often on business trips, so even if he wanted to cause trouble, it would probably be difficult for him.

Besides, he didn't think that guy surnamed Xiao was petty, so he figured there was probably nothing wrong with him.

Deputy Director's Office.

After Song Yiming finished reporting his work, he seemed hesitant to say anything more.

His lingering and reluctance to leave caught the attention of the person opposite him.

Xiao Zhenyu looked up, saw his expression, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any work you haven't reported yet?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head again to work on the documents.

The new official has indeed had too many things to do, and a lot of work has piled up, making it very difficult to deal with.
