Road construction is indeed a good job, but it simply can't be completed in less than two or three years.
Xu Xiangyang, however, had little interest in road repair. Lu Shuji was overseeing the work, and besides, one could only know how hard it was once done.
Even if you don't work alongside the workers, supervising the construction is still hard work.
He looked at the person opposite him and asked, "Secretary Cao, are you saying that the people from the province came here simply to supervise the construction?"
Because he doesn't understand the system, he doesn't know many things.
Since someone can answer his question, it's good to ask them.
Cao Yajun nodded and said, "Not entirely, but there definitely needs to be a supervisor. After all, this project was supported by the province. It's a project for the country and the people, so naturally we need to keep an eye on it."
This is quite a large project. If it were just a factory, no one would need to oversee it; a few people would suffice.
But that's clearly not the case now; many things now require multiple layers of oversight.
The two chatted about work for a bit, and the rest was stuff that everyone already knew, so the conversation was easier.
Cao Yajun glanced at him and said, "You made a huge fuss the day before yesterday, and Lu Shuji was clearly unhappy. You'd better behave yourself, or you'll get transferred back at a time like this."
Although Xu Xiangyang is Liao Shizhang's secretary, if he makes a serious mistake, Liao Shizhang will not be able to withstand the pressure and it is very likely that he will be transferred.
Xu Xiangyang wasn't afraid of any of this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
He now knows what the leaders' bottom line is. Just like Zhu Xingu, who was caught stealing money but wasn't kicked out. Isn't that obvious?
As long as you don't interfere with the project or threaten its progress, other situations are not a big deal.
For leaders, as long as it doesn't interfere with work, other things are harmless. They usually just give a few words of reprimand and a minor punishment, and that's it.
Xu Xiangyang's attitude surprised Cao Yajun.
You still know what's going on?
Is there a sure way to lose?
"Fine, whatever you do." He shook his head and said no more.
Just then, a noise came from outside.
It looks like something bumped into something, and they were very close.
The two exchanged a glance, then Xu Xiangyang stood up and suddenly opened the door.
The sudden movement caused a person to be pulled in through the door, and because there was nothing to support them, the person fell face-first to the ground.
"Ouch!" Zhu Xingui landed face-first, letting out a cry of pain.
When Xu Xiangyang saw it was him, he was furious. He sneered, "You really don't learn your lesson, do you? What, are you itching for another beating? Want a good beating?"
As he spoke, he kicked Zhu Xingu in the back.
That was quite a kick; it knocked the person over again.
Zhu Xingu started rolling around on the ground, yelling, "Someone's being hit! Someone's being hit! Come quick!"
This scene made the two people in the room laugh in anger. This time, Cao Yajun also understood why Xu Xiangyang had beaten him up that day.
Who wouldn't be angry in this situation?
Everyone outside was at work, and because the leaders were all there, no one dared to come and see what was going on.
However, even though no one was there to watch the spectacle, some people still came over. Who could stand such wailing and howling?
Xu Xiangyang looked at the people outside and saw that they were familiar faces.
Gu Panyun.
She was taken aback for a moment when she entered, then asked with a normal expression, "What happened?"
When Zhu Xingu saw someone arrive, he scrambled to his feet, crying out, "Boss! Secretary Xu hit me! He hit me!"
Xu Xiangyang looked at the person opposite him, shrugged, and said, "He was eavesdropping on other people's conversations. When I opened the door, he lost his balance and fell to the ground."
Trying to renege? No way!
Gu Panyun felt a bit conflicted for a moment, then glanced at Zhu Xingu next to her. There was indeed mud on his face.
It's the time of year when the weather outside is warm, and everyone who goes inside will have some mud on their shoes.
So there was a lot of dirt on the ground; Zhu Xingu was lying on the ground just now, and his face was covered in it.
It looks like the skin was scraped, and there was blood mixed with mud, which looked disgusting and scary.
“You…” Gu Panyun frowned and said, “Why were you lurking around outside someone else’s room?”
"I didn't, I was just passing by." Zhu Xingu said this with some guilt, clearly lacking confidence.
But who would walk by leaning against someone's door?
"Alright," Gu Panyun said coldly, "They did nothing wrong by hitting you. If you continue like this, you'll be disrupting the unity! This is a warning; be careful next time!"
"What?!" Zhu Xingui was stunned. How could it be his fault?!
They are clearly the victims, and they're in such a terrible situation, yet they're being accused of disrupting unity?
Gu Panyun glanced at him and asked, "What, do you have another question?"
Zhu Xingui felt a little intimidated by the woman. Although he didn't know her position, anyone who could come to handle things was definitely someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He could only grit his teeth and force a smile, saying, "How could there be a problem? Hehe, you're busy."
After saying that, he stormed off.
It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; not only did he fail to accomplish anything, he also ended up in a complete mess.
After watching the person leave, Xu Xiangyang looked at the person in front of him and said, "Long time no see. What brings you to work here?"
Both of them used to work at the grain bureau. Logically speaking, even if it was a job transfer, it shouldn't be this big, right?
Gu Panyun gave him a resentful look, then looked away. "What? You can come, but I can't? Don't forget who my father is."
Indeed, a mayor's daughter, with education and background, would have a perfectly legitimate job transfer under normal circumstances.
Xu Xiangyang gave an awkward laugh, then watched her turn and leave.
Sigh, she hasn't let go yet?
He wasn't narcissistic; he genuinely felt the girl was there for him. What other explanation could there be?
Cao Yajun, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but gasp when he saw the interaction between the two.
"Holy crap, Gu Panyun likes you?" he said in surprise. "Really? You?"
It's no wonder he was so surprised. Putting aside the relationship between Gu Shizhang and Liao Shizhang, their social statuses are also quite different.
Xu Xiangyang raised an eyebrow. "What? I'm so handsome, dashing, and charming. Shouldn't I be popular?"
After saying that, he brushed his bangs aside. His hair was getting a bit long, so he figured he'd have to get a haircut that night.
Cao Yajun rolled his eyes. As for Xu Xiangyang's appearance, there was nothing to criticize, but wasn't it a bit too shameless to boast like this?
"I've never seen such a shameless person!" He clicked his tongue, shook his head, and then turned and left.
I'm quite curious about how the two of them met, but he has other jobs right now, so I'll ask him later. Anyway, we'll be working together in the future.
Judging from Gu Panyun's expression, she's come looking for Xu Xiangyang.
Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what Gu Shichang's mental state is like.
