Wang Zhongshan thought for a moment and said, "What else would you do if you didn't grow vegetables? Do you want to build a house?"
Xu Xiangyang nodded directly, clearly stating his purpose.
However, Wang Zhongshan was not optimistic, saying, "Our family already has enough to live in. Building another house would attract attention. Let's wait a few more years."
Although he is quite old, he is still very sensitive to the situation outside.
They built too many houses without thinking, and now everyone knows they're rich.
Xu Xiangyang thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. He was just thinking that there wasn't much to do right now, which was why he made the suggestion.
That evening, Xu Guangtian learned from Wang Xiumin that no one was going to pursue the matter anymore, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was in a daze all day, and almost thought he was going to die.
Now that I know my family isn't going to pursue the matter anymore, I feel a lot more relieved.
During dinner, Xu Xiangyang brought out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), hoping to help Xu Guangtian relax.
After all, it's not right to keep taking leave, so don't scare him.
The next day, Xu Xiangyang arrived at his workplace and was immediately called away by Director Liao.
It wasn't even time for work yet, but the boss had already arrived.
Look at their level of awareness; it's something most people can't match.
"Xiao Xu," Liao Shizhang said, sitting at his desk, "I have a project coming up in a few days, which might keep me busy for a few days. I'll need to stay in the dormitory. Do you have any questions?"
What's the problem?
Xu Xiangyang had no problem with it; he had been waiting for this day.
"Chief Liao, nothing is more important than matters concerning the unit. Serving the people is no problem for me!" He said with an air of righteous indignation.
Although it's a bit exaggerated, Liao Shichang is very susceptible to this kind of thing.
"Yes, very good! I hope you will be just as proactive at work." Although Liao Shizhang likes his subordinates to be conscientious, the most important thing is that they can both talk and do.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, then took the documents back with him.
His workload gradually increased, though it mainly consisted of writing articles and handling simple documents.
He won't be given any important work yet, after all, he's only been working for a month, and there are some things that Liao Shichang can't completely trust him about.
During lunch, Xu Xiangyang saw Cao Yajun give him a wink and nodded.
This means they plan to go outside to talk after finishing their meal.
On the other side, Li Hongjun saw their interaction and a knowing look flashed in his eyes.
He quickly finished his meal and then went out.
After finishing his meal, Xu Xiangyang washed the lunchbox and then walked towards the nearby grove of trees.
There are a few benches here, and people often come over to sit after their meals when they have nothing to do.
However, the weather is still quite cold, so very few people come here.
Xu Xiangyang had just lit a cigarette when he saw Cao Yajun walking towards him.
He waved to signal, and then handed a cigarette to the person who came over.
After taking the cigarette, Cao Yajun said, "Did Director Liao talk to you today? I'm also going to the project there. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me anytime."
He's the secretary-general, so this kind of thing can't be hidden from him at all.
However, you can only say these things in private; you really can't say them to ordinary colleagues.
After all, each person has a different leader, and if the leader finds out, they will definitely be unhappy.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Chief Liao didn't say much, just that he would be staying there for a few days."
He didn't ask. He figured even if he did, they wouldn't have explained much. When the time comes, you have to do what they tell you to do. Asking so many questions would be pointless.
Cao Yajun glanced at him and said with a smile, "A few days? Probably several dozen days!"
This Liao Shizhang is really something, actually lying to people. Look at this newbie secretary, she's so easy to fool.
Tsk tsk tsk...
They didn't even finish the initial part of their project; it was just a simple plan.
Therefore, one can imagine how much time it would take to resolve this kind of task.
In just a few days, we probably can't accomplish anything. It would take at least one or two months to finish the preliminary work.
Not to mention that their plan was very rudimentary and still needed improvement.
Planning a new city is not something that can be completed in one or two months, or even one or two years.
If things go smoothly, it should be completed in about two or three years. If not, it could take five or six years.
Of course, it's impossible to stay there forever; other work also needs to be done.
So, they would get a few days off about once a month, or be transferred to do other work.
Xu Xiangyang was of course unaware of these things; he was not yet clear about them.
Cao Yajun gave him a simple explanation, which was based on his previous experience.
We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Xu Xiangyang learned some of the details and thus understood the situation.
"That's a bit better. The main problem is that I didn't know anything about this before and had never been exposed to it before." He was quite humble and hoped that the other party could tell him more information.
Cao Yajun smiled and said, "It's okay, I went through the same thing. Alright, you know now. If you don't understand anything, just come to me later."
Xu Xiangyang nodded, and then the two of them went back.
As it was almost time to leave work, Li Hongjun approached him. The two didn't usually interact, so this sudden call for him was indeed quite strange.
"Secretary Xu, I heard that Chief Liao is planning to take you to the work group?" He said with a smile, as if it were a casual remark.
Xu Xiangyang didn't look up and replied, "I'm not too sure either. It's not appropriate for me to ask too many questions about other people's leaders, don't you think?"
Heh, you little rascal, trying to trick me into revealing information? Too bad he doesn't know either.
Li Hongjun smiled and said, "Yes, how would we know about the leaders' affairs? I think Secretary Cao treats you very well; you have a bright future ahead of you."
His tone was tinged with envy, and his eyes held a look of inquiry.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything more, just smiled and shook his head, then continued working.
As it was almost time to leave work, Li Hongjun stopped talking and wouldn't answer even when asked.
After get off work, Li Hongjun felt uneasy seeing Xu Xiangyang leave.
He was the most likely candidate to become Liao Shichang's secretary, but when Secretary Cao spoke with him, he implied that he didn't want to go, so the job fell to Xu Xiangyang.
Actually, being a secretary to a leader is a good thing; don't they all want to work for a leader?
However, Liao Shizhang was notoriously unreasonable and had a lot of work, so he basically had no time to rest.
If you spend several years like that, wouldn't that be torture?
So he didn't want to go, but who knew that Liao Shizhang would actually be in charge of the project.
There wasn't a single word about it beforehand. If he had known all this, he would have fought tooth and nail to get in!
Once the project is finished, he'll be able to get a good position even if he's transferred!
It's a pity I didn't know sooner!
Xu Xiangyang is really lucky!
Li Hongjun sighed in frustration. After being tormented for several years, he finally had a good way out. That's acceptable, isn't it?
What a pity!
