Chapter 88: Together with Gao Kesin

  Zhou Kuai gave Wu Qisheng a call, and the news that Zhou Zichuan was coming to Donglin County to take up his post was indeed released by him first. Now it has come true, so can he go to Donglin County to work with Zhou Zichuan?

  The phone call was a great disappointment to him, Wu Qisheng would not come, and since that was the case, there was no hope of getting help from him for promotion.

  Ye Pingyu and Cao Dafu returned to the countryside together. As soon as they arrived at the office building, they saw Bai Yun walking towards Cao Dafu's office with a smile on her face. She didn't go to the village last night, but now that she sees Cao Dafu has returned, it's likely related to this matter.

  In the village, there were rumors that Baiyun had an unclear relationship with Yang Maojun, the original village party secretary, and Cao Dafu. Ye Pingyu didn't know whether it was true or not, but judging from Baiyun's usual behavior, it was very suspicious. Baiyun spent all day among men, daring to say anything and do anything, and if rumors weren't spread after a long time, that would be strange!

  After Cao Dafu returned, he more or less rectified the matter of setting up roadblocks and randomly collecting fees. Although yesterday he vowed to dismiss Yan Bingche and deal with those who didn't go to the village, now that the problem has been solved, this issue seems to have been forgotten, until Ye Pingyu left Caolingzi Township without any movement.

  Ye Pingyu had just returned to his hometown and hadn't told Chang Fang and Wang Qiang about his transfer to the county party committee office when the county party committee organization department called to formally notify the Caolingzi Township Party Committee Government of Ye Pingyu's transfer.

  The call was made to Cao Dafu's mobile phone, and Cao Dafu did not dare to have any opinion, knowing that it was Zhu Zichuan's idea. However, he asked a question: after Ye Pingyu was transferred to Caolingzi Township, would his position as Director of the Party and Government Office be removed?

  Cao Dafu asked this, wanting to reappoint the director of the Party and Government Office after Ye Pingyu was transferred away. However, the county committee's organization department had already received instructions from Zhu Zichuan, telling him not to consider this issue for the time being. There could be a temporary person in charge of the Party and Government Office, but no formal appointment of the director would be made.

  After listening to the county party committee organization department, Cao Dafu didn't think about this matter anymore. He waited until the county party committee officially removed Ye Pingyu as a member of the party committee before discussing the appointment of a new director of the party and government office.

  After the county party committee organization department's notification was completed, Cao Dafu convened a small meeting of the two committees' members to inform them of the spirit of the notification and expressed congratulations to Comrade Ye Pingyu on his transfer to work at the county party committee office, with each step leading to higher positions.

  Ye Pingyu sat there, hastily stood up and politely said that everything obeyed the organization's arrangement. Wherever he worked was work. From his heart, he still wanted to stay in the countryside to work. This was his hometown, and he hoped to make more contributions to his hometown.

  Although what he said was very humble, to everyone's ears, it was just a courtesy. Who wouldn't want to move up if they had the chance? Everyone applauded and congratulated him together.

  However, in their hearts, they were thinking, why did Ye Pingyu suddenly want to transfer to the county party committee office? Why did the county party organization department want to transfer him? Except for Cao Dafu, others were not very clear about this, only feeling that this matter came too suddenly, and there was a strong push behind Ye Pingyu, manipulating this matter.

  After the meeting, Cao Dafu took everyone to Dongsheng Wine House to see off Ye Pingyu. This was a convention, and Ye Pingyu couldn't avoid it. However, all members of the two committees came to see off an ordinary party committee member like him, which was unprecedented.

  At the wine table, everyone was congratulating him amidst the clinking of glasses and cups. They still didn't know that Ye Pingyu had become Secretary to Director Chu after arriving at the county committee office. If they knew this, they would have even more enthusiastically fawned over Ye Pingyu. Now, all they knew was that Ye Pingyu had started working at the county committee office, which must mean he had some important assignment. After all, Ye Pingyu was already a deputy department-level cadre. As for what position he would be assigned to, they were guessing while also wanting to ask Ye Pingyu about it.

  But Ye Pingyu himself didn't know either, so when they asked him, he couldn't answer. However, everyone thought that Ye Pingyu was intentionally keeping quiet and being very profound.

  Gao Kesin also attended the farewell dinner for Ye Pingyu, and Ye's sudden transfer left her somewhat surprised. She was a person from the county party committee office, and she had been here for almost a year, preparing to be transferred back as well. But she didn't expect Ye Pingyu to be transferred to the county seat so soon.

  Looking at Ye Pingyu sitting there calmly, Gao Kesin really admired Ye Pingyu's composure. If it were someone else, they would be very high-spirited and boisterous at this time, mingling with everyone, but he just maintained a smiling face without showing too much excitement.

  Gao Kesin also had a drink, specifically to toast Ye Pingyu. Seeing her face turn rosy after drinking, she seemed even more beautiful than usual. To be honest, when he first started working in the countryside, his first impression of Gao Kesin was stunning.

  Such women were rarely seen before, but now they can be found in the countryside, which is truly a miracle. At that time, I could only look up to her, but now we can get along well and become colleagues with a good relationship.

  After everyone finished eating and returned to the countryside, Gao Kesin thought for a moment and came alone to Ye Pingyu's dormitory, which she had never been to before.

  Seeing her come to his dormitory after drinking, Ye Pingyu was very surprised and stood up to greet her. Gao Kesin saw that he had taken off his coat and smiled slightly, but didn't pay much attention to it, and walked directly into the room, sitting on Ye Pingyu's bed.

  Ye Pingyu hastily tidied up the messy bed, but Gao Kexin turned around and helped him tidy it up, making him feel very embarrassed.

  After putting away his things, Gao Kesin turned around and smiled at him: "Ping Yu, you really don't know what to do with the county committee?"

  When Gao Kesin asked this, Ye Pingyu thought that this matter would be known to people sooner or later, and Gao Kesin was one of his good friends in the two committees, so there was no need to hide it from her anymore. He said: "County Committee Secretary Zhu's intention is for me to go over and work as his secretary. Actually, I think working in the county may not be better than working in the countryside. Although I used to think that working in the county would definitely be good, now I'm used to working in the countryside and don't want to leave."

  When she heard him say that, Gao Kesin smiled and revealed a row of white teeth, her ruddy face was smiling like a flower, the red knitted sweater outlined her prominent chest, and her fair neck was faintly visible outside.

  Seeing this scene, Ye Pingyu was stunned for a moment. He had never seen her so close before. Although Gao Kexin came from a cadre family, she sometimes dressed very plainly in the countryside, but no matter how plain she dressed, it couldn't hide the temperament and natural beauty that she had been brought up with since childhood.

  Seeing him staring at himself in a daze, Gao Kesin's face turned red and he quickly stopped laughing, saying: "Ye Pingyu, when I was working at the county committee office before, I didn't have such thoughts. At that time, I just wanted to go down to work, change an environment, who doesn't want to stay in one place all the time? You're really special!"

  Ye Pingyu suddenly woke up and laughed: "I may be a bit nostalgic! But changing the environment is also good, are you thinking of changing another environment now? Working in the countryside is still a bit bitter."

  Gao Kesin smiled and said, "To be honest, I've had this idea for a long time, but I haven't had the chance yet. Now that you're leaving again, I'm even more eager to change my environment. In our village, only with you can we have a good chat, otherwise, I don't dare to open up to others!"

  Gao Kesin was speaking from the heart, among the two members of the township committee, only they were young and didn't have any overly pragmatic ideas, while others had different thoughts. Originally, Ye Pingyu was quite isolated before becoming the director of the party and government office, with no one to confide in, but after becoming the director, she finally found someone who understood her.

  However, when Gao Kesin said this, she felt a little strange in her heart. She didn't know why she suddenly said that. Was it because she was reluctant to let Ye Pingyu leave?

  Ye Pingyu also had this idea in his heart after hearing her words, Gao Kesin's words had a warmth that made people feel too warm, if it was friendship, then it was a kind of emotional connection, now Gao Kesin expressed just that kind of emotional connection, but she was a female comrade, yet it would make people have some other thoughts while feeling the warmth.

  But he suppressed this idea and didn't dare to break the silence, smiling: "Ke Xin, it's okay, I'll go to the county, we can still communicate, and keep in touch by phone often!"

  Gao Kesin glanced at him secretly and smiled: "That's natural, but you're Secretary Zhu's secretary, so your work must be very busy. It's not good to disturb you with another call."

  "Of course, I have time to call you. Last time, my sister's matter was thanks to your help. I've been wanting to thank you, but haven't had the chance yet!"

  Gao Kesin laughed and said, "You still remember this matter, what's there to thank for? It was just that the person from the Health Bureau did something wrong. Now you've been transferred to the county to be Secretary Zhou's secretary, I reckon they won't dare again."

  Gao Kesin also said that he is now working in the county and serving as a secretary to Zhu Zi Chuan, and even if he were not the deputy director, but the director himself, no one would dare to offend him easily.

  Two people stayed in the house and chatted for a while, Ye Pingyu felt very happy, while Gao Kesin felt that after Ye Pingyu left Caolingzi Township, they might not have much chance to communicate again, so she came over specifically to chat with him some more. She had some unclear thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't express them for the time being. After a while, she thought of going back to the county town, and maybe then she could get closer to Ye Pingyu. In fact, if she didn't consider her family problems, she would have already expressed her true feelings to Ye Pingyu, but due to the existence of family factors, it made her hesitant and unable to make up her mind, in this regard, her courage was still too little.
