Section 10 Announcement of Appointment

  At 1:00 pm, Ye Zhenran arrived at the county party committee organization department on time and was sent to take office by Fu Bin, deputy director of the organization department.

  Mashi Town is not big, Changja County Committee and Government, Mashi Town Party Committee and Government, Mashi Township Party Committee and Government are all on the same street "Donglin Street", separated by only a few hundred meters. The Santana car had just started, and soon arrived.

  Secretary Qin received the notification in advance and led all deputy department-level officials in the town to welcome at the entrance of the town government. At the entrance, a big character "Welcome Minister Fu to guide the work in Mashixiang" was written.

  Minister Fu got out of the car at the door, smiled and shook hands with Secretary Qin, saying: "Secretary Qin is polite, go inside, don't let comrades stand guard."

  Secretary Qin had always been stern-faced in the township party committee and government, but in front of Minister Fu, he was all smiles. "You've brought me a comrade-in-arms, that's right, that's right."

  "Xiao Ye was originally working in your village party committee and government, so I don't need to introduce him, do I?" Minister Fu said with a smile as he looked at the welcoming crowd.

  "No need for introductions, now that Xiao Ye can take on more responsibilities, I feel much lighter." Li Xiangzhang took over the conversation and shook hands with Fu Buzhang.

  Ye Ziran noticed that the leaders in the countryside and Minister Fu's handshake postures were all different. Secretary Qin was with his right hand shaking hands with Minister Fu, then lightly placed his left hand on the back of Minister Fu's hand, showing both enthusiasm and steadiness; Township Head Li almost simultaneously grasped Minister Fu's hand with both hands, the degree of enthusiasm was obviously higher; Deputy Secretary Wang, being a female comrade, had the most elegant gesture when extending her hand, her arm stretched out the straightest, and the time she shook hands with Minister Fu was also the longest.

  A group of people walked towards the town hall of the rural government.

  The auditorium was already filled with township party committee, township government subordinates and various cadres, including clerks from each office, township industrial company, township agricultural company, finance bureau, police station, hospital and other organs and departments as well as heads of other management and offices.

  The meeting was presided over by Qin Daming, Secretary of the Township Party Committee. Fu Bin, Deputy Director of the County Organization Department, read out the appointment of Ye Ziran by the Changja County Party Committee, and fully affirmed the work of the Mashih Township Party Committee and Government, hoping that the Township Party Committee, Government and newly appointed comrades would unite and work together to do a good job.

  Ye Ziran sat on the podium, listening to Minister Fu's powerful speech, secretly appreciating every word and technique he used. Minister Fu's speech praised the old comrades for their contributions to Mashixiang, while also elaborating on the concept of knowledge-based and youth-oriented leadership promoted by Jianan Municipal Committee. He affirmed Secretary Qin and Mayor Li's work, while hoping that newly appointed Vice Mayor Ye could bring new vitality to Mashixiang. Between the lines, it seemed that Minister Fu had high hopes for Ye Ziran.

  Secretary Qin and Township Head Li then spoke separately, resolutely supporting the county party committee's appointment decision, stating that they would do a good job of uniting the team and leading all the people in the township to continue working hard together to change the face of Mashitown.

  Vice Secretary Wang's words were brief and profound, expressing support for the leadership team of Jianan Municipal Committee to be knowledge-based and younger, supporting the appointment of Changjiang County Committee, and pointing out that the knowledge-based, younger and recent promotion of a batch of female cadres by Jianan Municipal Committee are all very correct and in line with the requirements of the times.

  When Ye Zhenran heard Deputy Secretary Wang naturally mention the promotion of female cadres and the youth and knowledge-based development of cadres in the same breath, he knew that this Deputy Secretary Wang was also not a simple person.

  The little horse village is hiding dragons and sleeping tigers.

  When it was Ye Zhenran's turn to speak, he was even briefer. He only stated that from now on, under the leadership of the township party committee, he would assist Mayor Li in doing a good job of government work and lead all the people in the town to an early well-off life.

  The cadres below the stage responded with warm applause after each leader's speech (this is in stark contrast to foreign parliaments on TV, where shoes and smelly socks fly towards the speaker). However, as they gazed at the young face of only 26 years old sitting upright on the chairman's platform, Ye Zheyi couldn't help but wonder what thoughts were hidden behind their warm applause.

  Ye Zhenran was promoted to deputy township head by the director of the party and government office, and the work of the party and government office is to serve the leaders of the township party committee and the township government. Therefore, Ye Zhenran has a good understanding of the temperament, work style, and abilities of the main leaders of the township. These people will be his future colleagues and competitors at work, and he must maintain a good relationship with each of them in order to carry out his work smoothly. In his heart, Ye Zhenran quietly revised his impression of Wang, the deputy secretary, it seems that this woman is not just as simple and low-key as she usually appears, when necessary, she will also take charge and show her strong personality.

  The performance on the wine table also confirmed this point.

  Minister Fu, however, did not decline the enthusiasm of everyone and had dinner together with them at "Chunfu Building" on Donglin Street. Before dinner, Minister Fu said he would not drink wine, but Vice Secretary Wang was the first to fill his glass and walk up to him, saying: "Minister Fu rarely visits the countryside, although Mashan Township is poor, it can still afford to treat county leaders to a meal. Let's do this, to thank Minister Fu for his care for our Mashan Township, I'll drink three cups first, if Minister Fu looks down on us rural cadres and doesn't want to drink, that's okay." After finishing speaking, Vice Secretary Wang indeed drank three cups in one go.

  Minister Fu was somewhat at a loss, as the other party was a female cadre and he couldn't just put on a stern face. Moreover, what she said left no room for retreat. If he didn't drink, it would clearly leave an impression of being overbearing in front of the cadres from Mashitown.

  Minister Fu also let go and laughed, taking a sip of his drink.

  Ye Ziran watched him and thought Vice Secretary Wang was quite interesting.

  Now that the ice had been broken, the other cadres from the countryside naturally followed suit, taking turns to go up and toast Minister Fu, and for a time, cups and chopsticks were crossed, and the atmosphere became lively. Seeing Ye Zhenran sitting still, Vice Secretary Wang glanced over and said: "Little Ye, why don't you go pay your respects to Minister Fu? Could it be that after entering the bridal chamber, you've forgotten the matchmaker?"

  Ye Ziran discovered that Wang Jinyu, the normally dignified Deputy Secretary Wang, had become rosy and radiant after drinking three cups of wine. Her gaze was also watery, and at 37 or 38 years old, she looked like a slender beauty. In his heart, he secretly admired her, thinking "This woman really knows how to get things done".

  Ye Ziran stood up, raised his cup and respectfully said to Minister Fu: "Minister Fu, I'll drink a toast, you do as you please." After finishing speaking, he drained the wine in his cup.

  In the eyes of everyone, Director Fu drank another cup and got a bit drunk. He turned his face to look at Deputy Secretary Wang and said: "Little Wang, your metaphor just now was not quite appropriate, how did I become a matchmaker?"

  Wang, the deputy secretary, glanced at Minister Fu with a faint smile and said, "Minister Fu, don't look down on matchmakers. Most of them are capable and wise people."

  Fu asked: "There should be a follow-up to this, right?"

  "This is how I tell a story," said Deputy Secretary Wang calmly. "There was a matchmaker who arranged a marriage for a college student living next door. The matchmaker told the college student, 'College student, I've found you a wife.' The college student replied, 'Nowadays we all have free love, and I want to find my own wife myself.' The matchmaker said, 'But this girl is the mayor's daughter!' The college student then said, 'If that's the case, okay.'"

  Then, the matchmaker found the mayor and said, "I've found a husband for your daughter." The mayor said, "No way, my daughter is still young!" The matchmaker said, "But the young man is the vice president of a listed company." The mayor said, "Ah, in that case, okay!"

  Finally, the matchmaker found the chairman of a listed company and said, "I recommend a vice president for you!" The chairman said, "But I have too many vice presidents, it's redundant." The matchmaker said, "However, the young man is the mayor's son-in-law." The chairman said, "In that case, okay!"

  Everyone exclaimed in unison.

  Fu Minister pointed at Wang Deputy Secretary, imitating Wang Deputy Secretary's tone, and smiled: "Okay! Okay! Little Wang is okay too." Then he turned his head to Ye Zhenran and said, "Little Ye, you've gained experience now, do you know how to find a daughter-in-law?"

  Ye Ziran couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Fu's speech was slightly different from his usual tone, and his logic seemed a bit unclear, he estimated that the wine was about to take effect. Thinking that if Fu fell down after another drink, it would be too much, he said: "Secretary Wang is of high level, his stories are interesting, I'll join in the fun and tell an office joke."

  Minister Fu said with a smile: "Good, let's all tell one story each. It'll be lively! Anyone who doesn't will have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty."

  There was a beautiful office lady who went to work one day when the weather was particularly good. She was so focused on her work that she didn't even notice when her skirt got caught in the drawer. When she stood up, her skirt ripped with a loud tearing sound. Her colleagues all turned around at the noise, and the woman quickly grabbed a magazine from beside her to cover herself. However, her colleagues burst out laughing - it turned out that the magazine's cover was an advertisement for a supermarket: "Super large area, can accommodate two thousand people at the same time." The woman grabbed another magazine, but her colleagues laughed again - this one had a cover advertising antivirus software: "Be careful of viruses invading". The woman was about to faint. When she picked up a third magazine, her colleagues were stunned - it was an advertisement for a movie: "The tyrant forces his way in."

  At the dinner table, there was only one woman, Wang Jingyu, and the leaders were all used to socializing on the surface, so they didn't feel embarrassed. Vice Secretary Wang had also seen various scenes before, and his expression didn't change at all.

  The minister then told another one: A certain young woman was always straightforward and unembarrassed, even when breastfeeding her child in public. One time, she and her husband took their child to a restaurant for dinner, the child became hungry and started crying, so the young woman opened her clothes and breastfed the child. The waiter came over and politely asked her not to breastfeed in public. The young woman was furious and said, "What kind of person are you? Do you think breastfeeding is indecent?" The waiter pointed to a sign on the wall and replied, "No, but this restaurant prohibits eating food that is not provided by us."

  Secretary Qin and Township Head Li burst out laughing, and Deputy Secretary Wang couldn't help but chuckle. Everyone was very satisfied with this meal.
