Not satisfied with 021

  He walked slowly to the second floor, and Han Dong's mood had calmed down. As the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes", he had already made an effort to release his good intentions. If Shen Congfei still had any ideas about him because of this, then that was up to him, but his own pace would not stop because of him.

  "Director Han, you're here so early, please take a seat." Zheng Yongzhong, Shen Congfei's secretary, said warmly, fetching tea leaves and a disposable paper cup to make him tea. Although Shen Congfei had not seen Han Dong on several previous occasions, Zheng Yongzhong had not changed his attitude towards Han Dong, always answering the phone with courtesy.

  Zheng Yongzhong knocked on the inner door and went in. He came out soon after and said to Han Dong, "Director Han, Mayor Shen is asking you to go in."

  Han Dong nodded, it seemed that coming early was the right decision. He put down his teacup, stood up and walked over to knock on the door. From inside came Shen Congfei's voice: "Come in."

  In the room, Shen Congfei sat in front of his desk, holding a newspaper in his hand. He looked up and said, "You've arrived, please sit down first, I'll finish reading this section before we talk."

  "Alright." Han Dong sat down properly, with a faint smile on his face.

  After about ten minutes, Shen Congfei raised his head and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

  "It's like this, Director Shen, I've been at the Statistics Bureau for a month now, and I'm here to report on my work situation over this period."

  "Oh, then you tell me." Shen Congfei's face was calm, he pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, reaching into his pocket to find a lighter.

  Han Dong quickly took out his lighter, lit it, and handed it over to him to light a cigarette.

  "Thank you." Shen Congfei said lightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. This kid is quite good at handling people and has some skills too. With some training, he's not a bad candidate either.

  After receiving Wu Jiequan's phone call last time, Shen Congfei had a grudge against Han Dong, thinking that he was a person who liked to report small things. So he called him over and scolded him for a while, and also refused his requests three times in a row. This time, letting Han Dong wait for half an hour was also meant to test him, but his performance was okay, which made Shen Congfei's anger dissipate a lot.

  "County Mayor Shen, after getting familiar with it for a month, I have basically got the work of the Statistics Bureau in order..."

  The statistics bureau didn't have much work to report on, and Han Dong simply went through it once, saying: "This is the current situation with the statistics bureau, please instruct us, Director Shen."

  Shen Congfei nodded, "Yes, it seems that you have done a lot of work during this period. In the future, we need to further maintain this proactive and enterprising state, strive to take the work of the Statistics Bureau to a new level, and provide effective data support for the decision-making of the county party committee and government."

  "County Magistrate Shen, rest assured that I will thoroughly implement your instructions throughout the region." Han Dong said, taking out the article from his pocket and handing it over with both hands, "County Magistrate Shen, this is an article I wrote. Please review and correct it."

  "Is that so?" Shen Congfei took over the manuscript with a puzzled expression, saw the title, slightly furrowed his brow, and began to browse through it with his head down.

  Han Dong saw Shen Congfei frown slightly and felt a slight sinking in his heart. Things might not be as good as he had imagined.

  "Hmm, that's a fresh perspective." Shen Congfei put down the manuscript, expressionless. "But in this current situation, do you think it's okay to send out this manuscript?"

  Han Dongdao: "Director Shen, I think that as a party member, at this time, one should express their own views. Even if they are wrong, it is good for the party and the country. Truth becomes clearer through debate. Everyone should put forward their own views for discussion, perhaps it can promote the correctness and feasibility of the party's policies and strategies."

  "Hmph, quite an attitude you have." Shen Congfei sneered inwardly, and the little bit of goodwill he had towards Han Dong just now decreased significantly. Young people really lack tempering. However, for Wu Jiequan's sake, he still decided to remind him, "Hmm, considering the current situation, it's better if you're more cautious with this article."

  "Alright, thank you Mayor Shen. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Han Dong said respectfully, although he didn't get Shen Congfei's recognition, but instead stirred up his competitive spirit, since that's the case, then he would just have to rely on himself to make a comeback.

  After Han Dong left, Shen Congfei walked to the window and looked at the square outside, sneering and muttering to himself: "This kid really doesn't know his place."

  The current situation in Rongzhou is very complicated, and no one dares to stand out to cheer for reform and opening up. Even Secretary Huang just focuses on his work without making any public statements. If that article really comes out, it's likely to bring a storm of criticism soon.

  "Ding ding ding......" The phone rang, Shen Congfei walked over to pick it up, and Wu Jiequan's loud voice came from inside, "It's me, Wu Jiequan."

  "Hello, old leader, are there any instructions?" Shen Congfei smiled and said. He was able to become a member of the Standing Committee of Fuyi County Party Committee, in addition to the recommendation of County Party Secretary Huang Wenyun, also inseparable from the strong support of this old leader Wu Jiequan, so he was very respectful to Wu Jiequan. Even though Wu Jiequan was the deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, he still called him "old leader", which made it more intimate.

  Wu Jiequan said over the phone: "Little Shen, didn't I disturb your work?"

  "No, no." Shen Congfei smiled and said, "Even if there's something going on, I have to answer the old leader's phone call first."

  "Haha, you've given me another dose of the old man's magic potion. Today I mainly wanted to tell you about Han Dong, he's my friend's nephew. In the future, if there's anything wrong with his work, just give him a good scolding."

  Shen Congfei was slightly surprised, but Wu Jiequan had already made the first move in greeting him, so he said: "Old leader, I was just thinking of reporting to you. Earlier, Han Dong came to me and showed me an article discussing the current situation, with some quite radical views..."

  "Oh, this kid is telling you his opinion again? Yesterday he also chatted with my old man for a bit. Young people are like that, being impulsive is normal. Besides, although his views are radical, they're not entirely unreasonable."

  "The old leader is right, so I let him be more careful." Although still smiling all over his face, Shen Congfei was very dissatisfied with Han Dong in his heart. Since he had already talked to Wu Jiequan about these things, why didn't he tell himself earlier? Moreover, why did Wu Jiequan's phone call come so timely?

  "Old leader, I think, Han Dong is still young, under current circumstances, it's better to prioritize stability."

  "Uh-huh, you're right, I think so too. You're his direct supervisor, so just tell him more about this aspect."

  "Don't worry, leader, I will definitely do what needs to be done."

  He hung up the phone and Shen Congfei's face immediately turned gloomy, walking to the window and silently smoking.
