Cao Yajun turned around and, seeing that he didn't speak, asked, "How is your plan progressing?"
Both plans have now been approved, and everyone has begun preparations.
Xu Xiangyang looked up and sighed, "We're ready to start. We'll go to the construction site tomorrow to do the preparatory work."
Of course, he'll be going along too.
He will go there with Liao Shizhang tomorrow to discuss it, and then he can stay.
Since Chief Cerium has other work to do, Xu Xiangyang only needs to keep an eye on this area, and then the work is half done.
The weather is getting warmer, it's a good time to start work.
Cao Yajun squinted at the distance, sighed, and said, "Sometimes I really think it would be better to have an ordinary job where all you do is collect a salary..."
He spoke very softly, but Xu Xiangyang heard him clearly.
Of course, he didn't respond.
I feel tired of this path now, but I won't feel that way in the future.
Those who feel tired are those who lack power. Once someone truly grasps power, they will greedily enjoy the wonderful things that power brings.
Xu Xiangyang had never traveled this road before, but he knew it was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, he wasn't obsessed with it.
Now he just needs to wait for an opportunity to break out of this circle.
Only rationality can bring real benefits, but in this circle, no one can remain rational.
Despite Cao Yajun's current scheming nature, no one can guarantee that he will remain so clear-headed in the future.
After the two parted ways, Xu Xiangyang went straight back to his room.
Just then, Zhang Lianhe from next door seemed to hear him open the door, so he came over, knocked on the door, and went inside.
"Secretary Xu, shall we go to the construction site tomorrow?" he asked with a smile.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, but how did he know? This matter hasn't been made public yet.
Although most people know that their plan has been approved, the specific date for construction to begin has not yet been determined.
Zhang Lianhe said with a smile, "Because I'm going with you too. Chief Liao asked me to go with you."
Because an accountant is required to accompany someone to the construction site, and Zhang Lianhe was particularly happy to be able to go with Xu Xiangyang this time since he was familiar with him.
Xu Xiangyang was also somewhat surprised and asked, "Don't you have other accountants there? What a coincidence that you're coming with me."
It has to be said, it was quite a coincidence.
But Zhang Lianhe disagreed, and this was no coincidence. "When Liao Shizhang told me, he said that we knew each other and lived next door, so we would definitely get along well at work."
So, Liao Shizhang already knew they knew each other.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. Was he being taken care of?
He didn't talk much about that topic, and then we chatted about some things at the construction site.
Zhang Lianhe didn't know much, after all, he was in charge of finances, and his daily work involved reporting expenses. He had to report all the materials used on the construction site.
Although this job sounds like it's very lucrative, at this time, no one dared to do it.
Xu Xiangyang was the same; he wouldn't sacrifice his future freedom for a short-term, petty gain.
After all, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in a few years. He can accumulate wealth quickly just by using his space.
Then, by acquiring land or developing projects, they can make a fortune.
Therefore, he would never touch anything dangerous.
Although he could escape, he would never see his family again, and that would be a terrible loss.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, then asked him to sit down. "From now on, don't call me Secretary Xu anymore, just call me by my name."
The two were about the same age, with Zhang Lianhe being a few years older than him.
But this isn't a place where age matters; you have to be capable. The higher you climb, the more people respect you.
Zhang Lianhe felt bad about it, considering the significant difference in their abilities.
"Isn't this inappropriate?" He seemed a little reserved.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "It's okay, what do people call you?"
"You can just call me Xiaohe," he said, a little embarrassed.
The two started calling each other by their names, which helped to build a closer relationship.
That evening, Xu Xiangyang invited him to eat at his room. They would be working together from then on. Regardless of how well he performed, Zhang Lianhe had to be mindful of his actions, since he was being treated well.
As for what number...
Zhang Lianhe glanced at the food on the table and couldn't help but swallow hard. Sure enough, following Secretary Xu meant getting good food.
However, he also understood that Xu Xiangyang wouldn't give him delicious food for no reason. He knew what Xu Xiangyang's motives and purpose were.
"Brother Yang, you've gone to so much trouble." He said with a smile as he sat down opposite him.
Xu Xiangyang didn't care that he was older but called him "brother"; it was just a title, so it didn't matter.
"Why are you being so polite? We'll be working together from now on, so let's take care of each other!" He smiled and gestured for the person opposite him to serve him some food.
A single meal can win people's hearts; it has to be said that people are really easy to please these days.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang set off with Liao Shizhang. Everyone was in the car, and there were several other people in the back as well.
When we arrived at the construction site, some people had already started setting up camp.
There are quite a lot of people at first glance.
After Liao Shizhang got out of the car, someone came to greet him.
"Hello, Chief Liao, it's been a long time." A middle-aged man in his forties walked over.
He was balding and wearing a hat.
The first impression this person gives is that of a frontline worker.
However, Xu Xiangyang knew that frontline workers couldn't just come over to greet Liao Shizhang so enthusiastically with a handshake.
It wasn't that he looked down on frontline workers, but rather that in such situations, only leaders could come to greet them.
"Director Ma, it's been a long time!" Liao Shichang greeted him with a smile.
The two walked to a shady spot and stood there. Although the weather had improved a lot and was a little chilly, it was still quite sunny.
"Director Ma, have all the workers arrived yet? When do you plan to start construction?" Liao Shizhang asked.
Director Ma nodded, glanced around, and said, "I plan to go tomorrow; the weather has been good these past few days."
The two discussed the specifics of the situation before looking around.
Xu Xiangyang learned from their conversation that Director Ma was from the new city construction department and was mainly in charge of the garment factory's projects.
However, judging from this person's appearance, he became somewhat wary. He had a feeling that this person was not simple, and if he was careless, he might suffer a loss.
After Liao Shichang finished his conversation, he introduced him to Director Ma.
He said with a smile, "This is my secretary, Comrade Xu Xiangyang. Don't let his young age fool you, he's very capable. He's supervising the project here on my behalf, so you should all get along well."
Director Ma then had time to examine the young man. At first, he thought Xu Xiangyang was a junior assistant, but he didn't expect him to be a secretary.
