At nine o'clock the next day, only Yunmei got up, while everyone else was still sleeping.
"Yunmei, wash your face and brush your teeth quickly." Wang Xiaohai said, "Come with me to the municipal government to work."
"Ah? I still have to go to school." Yunmei wondered if she had heard it wrong.
"Help me, I think you are the best student I have ever seen." Wang Xiaohai thought that he would be very busy if he was alone, so he dragged Yunmei into the water first.
"Okay..." Yunmei hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.
Wang Xiaohai didn't plan to ask a driver to pick him up, so he drove Yunmei to work alone.
There is still an hour left, and the city center is only a twenty-minute drive away, which is enough time. Of course, if Wang Xiaohai runs there by himself, it will only take a dozen seconds.
Wang Xiaohai parked the car in the parking lot of the municipal center and walked towards the office building with Yunmei.
Hundreds of people were waiting in line at the fountain square in front of the municipal office building, indicating a significant number of citizens seeking business. The first floor of the office building housed the information hall. The second floor housed several important departments, such as Land and Mineral Resources, Investment Promotion, and Statistics. Floors three through seven also housed general office space. The eighth floor housed the offices of several deputy mayors and their secretaries. Deputy mayors were assigned by the higher-level state to assist the mayor, without being elected. If they performed poorly, the mayor could recommend a transfer. The ninth floor housed two offices: the mayor's office and the mayor's secretariat.
In short, the highest authority in Qingliu City is composed of the mayor and the speaker, as well as several deputy mayors and deputy speakers. The mayor and deputy mayors make plans and decisions, and the council supervises, reviews and votes to decide whether they are passed.
"Good morning, Mayor!" The staff at the municipal center stopped when they saw Wang Xiaohai and Yun Mei coming.
Civil servants may not be well-informed about other things, but they are well-informed about the city's top brass and know their appearances better than their own.
Wang Xiaohai and Yunmei took the elevator to the ninth floor.
The two civil servants who were chatting and laughing in the elevator fell silent when they saw Wang Xiaohai come in.
"Which department are you two from?" Wang Xiaohai asked as the elevator was feeling stuffy as it was going up.
"Taxes," they both replied.
When the elevator reached the fifth floor, the two walked out and went straight to the ninth floor.
"Mayor Wang, you're here so early!" As the elevator opened, a woman in a professional uniform smiled. It was Lina who was at the TV station yesterday.
Lina is a government secretary, managing the government secretariat and all deputy mayors and mayor's secretaries. Her civil servant rank is higher than that of the directors below.
"Lina, you came earlier than me!" Wang Xiaohai replied.
"I was looking down from the window of my office on the sixth floor and saw you coming, so I came to the ninth floor to wait for you," said Lina.
In fact, she didn't just happen to see Wang Xiaohai coming, but had been looking out the window since eight o'clock.
"Oh, this is my secretary Yunmei. Please help her with the formalities, otherwise it will be inconvenient for her to enter the office building in the future." Wang Xiaohai said.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll do it right away." Lina said, "Your office is on the left side of the corridor."
Wang Xiaohai nodded and walked towards his office with Yunmei.
The mayor's office is nearly two hundred square meters, with two long sofas, a desk with a sunflower pot and a laptop on it, and a large bookcase filled with various economics and philosophy books.
Wang Xiaohai walked to the desk and sat down. The chair was quite soft.
"Yunmei, please sit on the sofa first. After Lina helps you get your work permit, you can go to the office opposite to work." Wang Xiaohai said.
It has to be said that Secretary Lina is very efficient. Wang Xiaohai and Yunmei only waited for five minutes before they heard Lina knocking on the door.
"Secretary Yun, this is your ID." Lina handed a small red booklet and a badge to Yunmei.
Yunmei stood up, took it, and pinned the badge on her clothes. On the badge was written: Mayor's Secretary Yunmei.
"Mayor, the people from Bullet Group are waiting in the lobby on the first floor. Should we receive them?" Lina asked.
Wang Xiaohai thought, "They've failed to bribe me, so they want to bribe me?" He was about to refuse, but swallowed the words and changed his words, saying, "Tell them to come up and see me." He thought it would be good to hear what these bastards had to say.
"Okay." Lina said goodbye.
"Should I go back to my office?" Yunmei said.
"Why are you going back to the office? You have nothing to do now." Wang Xiaohai said, "Sit on the sofa and listen to what the people from the Bullet Group have to say."
Ten minutes later, three men in suits knocked on the door and entered.
Wang Xiaohai sat at his desk playing on the computer without even raising his head.
Yunmei sat on the sofa playing with her cell phone.
The three men stood there for a minute, no one paid any attention to them, which was a bit awkward, so the man in the middle coughed to remind them.
"Ah! You are here?" Wang Xiaohai turned his head.
The three of them were furious. This guy clearly knew they were coming, but he was pretending to ignore them.
"Hello, Mr. Mayor," the man in the middle said. "I'm Mr. Lin Lao, the vice president of the Bullet Group. I'm here to talk to you on behalf of the Bullet Group."
"How many vice presidents do you have in your Bullet Group?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
Lin Lao: “Three.”
"You have three vice presidents, but you only sent one to talk to me, the only mayor," Wang Xiaohai said unhappily. "Why doesn't your president come here in person?"
"Our president will only meet with officials above the level of governor," said a man next to Lin Lao.
This was clearly a mockery of Wang Xiaohai's status as unqualified. Mr. Lin Lao slapped the man to the ground and explained himself: "The president is on a foreign trip and has no time to come back."
