Chapter 116 Setting a Trap for Secretary Jin
Su Xu and Liu Nian returned the car at Jiangjuntun, and after walking a few steps, they spotted Secretary Jin standing in front of the shed.
He was talking to Yunmo with his hands behind his back, and it was unclear what he was saying. Yunmo looked as if he had eaten shit and was in great discomfort.
Then they heard Yunmo curse loudly, "If you're so bored and itchy-mouthed, go find a piece of tree bark and rub it against it!"
"Can't I ask?" Secretary Jin looked around, as if afraid someone would hear him.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw Liu Nian and Su Xu walking towards him, and Secretary Jin's face immediately darkened.
"Why don't you ask them yourself when they arrive?" Yunmo rolled her eyes, leaned closer to Liu Nian, and whispered, "They're asking me about you. How annoying."
Secretary Jin watched as Liu Nian and Su Xu left Jiangjuntun. It was obvious what they were planning to do, so he couldn't contain himself and kept wandering around the village.
It would be a lie to say he didn't care. When Secretary Jin's thoughts were exposed, his face turned ugly, and he only dared to secretly peek at Su Xu out of the corner of his eye.
“Secretary Jin,” Su Xu spoke, his expression unchanged, “I spoke with the county head today, and he thinks highly of you. He said that once this project is finalized, he will put you in charge.”
Secretary Jin was taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy. "Really? The county head really said that?"
“Yes.” Su Xu snorted inwardly, but did not show it on his face. He continued, “He told me that Secretary Jin is capable, has good character, and is a very good comrade who should be entrusted with important responsibilities.”
Zhang Genzhi hadn't said that. Liu Nian gently curled the corners of his mouth. Although he didn't understand Su Xu's intention, he still nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that Secretary Jin will have to put in a lot of effort in this matter of digging deep wells."
"As the saying goes, 'When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger.' Everyone should remember your kindness." Liu Nian smiled. "Secretary Jin won't refuse, will he?"
Secretary Jin immediately straightened his back and said, "Not at all! It's my duty to do things that benefit the people and the country!"
In fact, Secretary Jin was also wondering to himself, was it really going to happen like this? But it was common knowledge that Liu Nian and Zhang Genzhi knew each other, and Liu Nian was even Chief Wu's benefactor.
Knowing so many influential people makes things much easier for me than for others.
If the well-drilling project really gets approval from above, what can he say? He's definitely trying to curry favor! He might even get a lot of benefits in the future!
Moreover, if the county magistrate really said such a thing, it would mean that he had received approval from above, and he might even be promoted rapidly.
Secretary Jin was momentarily flattered.
"Alright, Secretary Jin, we're leaving now. You need to keep an eye on this matter." Su Xu took Liu Nian's hand, and the two turned around. Liu Nian then said to Yun Mo, "We'll be leaving now. Come over to our house when you're free."
The two walked slowly away, and after making sure that Secretary Jin couldn't hear them, Liu Nian said, "Why did we involve Secretary Jin?"
Su Xu placed his hand on Liu Nian's waist, moving in sync with Liu Nian's steps, his voice icy, "If someone wants to slip up, they have to do something. If you just sit there and don't move, how can you catch them red-handed?"
"And what he does is always thankless work." Su Xu chuckled softly, turning his head to look at Liu Nian.
Liu Nian and Su Xu's eyes met.
His eyes were lowered, concealing all his gloom; he wanted to make sure that every time he looked at Liu Nian, he was gentle.
"Okay, I understand," Liu Nian said with a smile. "I'll cooperate with you!"
Secretary Jin is a very cunning person. He has been in this position for many years without any merit. Because he is careful, even if he does something, he never lets anyone find fault with him, all for the sake of accumulating work points and retiring peacefully.
