Chapter 108 Visiting

  Ye Pingyu's simple and clear speech made the cadres below feel refreshed, originally thinking that he would not be able to say anything in such an important occasion, but unexpectedly his speech was almost on par with Zhao Yuangong, although compared to Zhao Yuangong he seemed more humble, but overall it made people feel that he was also a natural leader.

  After finishing, Ye Pingyu handed the microphone to Wu Zhenquan. As the host, Wu made a summary but only mentioned Zhao Yuangong without mentioning Ye Pingyu, with an obvious tone of disdain towards Ye Pingyu.

  After the meeting was over, Xie Liangshan hurried back without staying for dinner. Zhao Yuankun and Ye Pingyu also gave up trying to persuade him to stay, and then returned to the office to discuss their next move.

  Zhao Yuangong also realized from Ye Pingyu's speech that although Ye Pingyu is young and inexperienced, it doesn't mean he doesn't have his own ideas. As the former secretary of Zhu Zishu, he has a deep understanding of Zhu's thoughts. If he makes some decisions on his own without consulting Ye Pingyu, it may lead to Zhu's dissatisfaction.

  So after the meeting, he didn't dare to underestimate Ye Pingyu for a while, and specially called him together to discuss the next step of work in the countryside. If the two of them communicated well first, things would be much easier to handle.

  Seeing Zhao Yuangong come to discuss things with him, Ye Pingyu showed humility and said: "Secretary Zhao, I've just taken office and am not familiar with the situation. You take charge of everything, and I'll just carry it out. In front of you, I'm still a young student!"

  Ye Pingyu's words made Zhao Yuangong feel very pleased. At the beginning, Ye Pingyu was just an ordinary staff member in the party and government office when he came to Cao Lingzi Township, while Zhao Yuangong was the deputy secretary in charge of political work. In front of him, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a small student. After Ye Pingyu became the township head, being able to speak like this can be said to have given him enough face.

  Zhao Yuangong smiled and said, "Pingyu, you are now the head of the village. Although I am older than you, you have learned a lot from Secretary Zhu. Now that you're here, it's like having a mouthpiece for heaven's constitution, specializing in implementing Secretary Zhu's instructions. In some matters, we still need you to take charge. This way, we can jointly promote our village's work. As long as the two of us unite as one, Caolingzi Village's work will definitely improve."

  Ye Pingyu appeared very humble, and Zhao Yuankong, while excited, also showed a good attitude. Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Secretary Zhu told me before I came that when I arrived in the countryside, I must be humble and learn from old comrades like you, Secretary Zhao. I have not forgotten these words for a moment. Although I learned a lot from Secretary Zhu, everything still needs to be combined with reality after arriving in the countryside. In this regard, Secretary Zhao, you are more capable of grasping it, so I said that everything should be decided by you, and it is right for me to do my best to implement it."

  Ye Pingyu remained very humble because he knew that he had just arrived in the countryside to take up the post of village head and still needed to go through certain legal procedures, which required Zhao Yuangong's cooperation and also the support of other cadres. If he showed off his strength as soon as he came, it would cause resentment among others. Although he was young, he could hold back his temper. Some things can't be rushed, success is an attitude, a kind of cultivation, and even more so in official circles.

  Seeing Ye Pingyu's attitude, Zhao Yuangong finally felt at ease. It seemed that Ye Pingyu was truly willing to let him take charge. From now on, the sky in Caolingzi Township would be named after Zhao. As long as the township head didn't make trouble for him, the other two committee members were not worth mentioning.

  After chatting with Zhao Yuangong, Ye Pingyu didn't go to his own office. He learned that the new mayor was coming and Bai Yun, the director of the office, had already arranged an office for him. Although the conditions were not very good, they were still much better than those of ordinary cadres' offices.

  One person walked down the office building, Ye Pingyu first went to the party and government office to take a look around. As the newly appointed township head, he now needs to improve his interpersonal relationships, otherwise the people below will not support him, and this township head is just an empty title.

  When she saw him coming to the party and government office, Bai Yun dressed up and walked over. Originally, when she was in charge of the Women's Federation, she had no relationship with Ye Pingyu. After Ye Pingyu left, they had even less of a relationship. Now that Ye Pingyu is back as the township head, and Cao Dafu, who supported her, has been transferred away, if Ye Pingyu doesn't support her either, it's possible that Zhao Yuangong will take care of her.

  Therefore, Ye Pingyu is seeking support from others, but others are also seeking his support. This is a mutual need. But now that he has taken the initiative, he can gain the upper hand and win over those cadres who were originally closer to Cao Dafu, thus increasing his own power. Don't look at his young age; in this regard, he understands the reasoning.

  Zhao Yuangong was confident in his seniority, and with Ye Pingyu being humble in front of him, he didn't consider these things for the time being, thinking that everything was under his control, and there was no need to worry about Ye Pingyu's actions causing an unfavorable situation for him.

  Under the escort of Bai Yun, Ye Pingyu walked into the party and government office, saw Chang Fang and others, smiled and walked up to shake hands with them one by one. Chang Fang and Zhao Yan had a smile on their faces, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they called him Director Ye.

  When they heard her shouting like that, Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Everyone doesn't have to be polite, just call my name directly, it's more casual, and it seems more intimate, don't you think?"

  Although Ye Pingyu said so without any pretence, no one dared to call him by his name again. It's normal for leaders to show humility, but if you think the leader is really humble, then you're a fool. A leader's humility is a political art, and you must not confuse it, or you'll have committed a grave mistake.

  Wang Qiang stood beside Chang Fang, and after seeing Ye Pingyu, his face still had some redness, looking a bit tense. Ye Pingyu tightly grasped his hand, as if giving him strength.

  Yao Weiguo's face was a complex mix of surprise and envy at Ye Pingyu becoming the village head, as well as his usual cold expression. Ye Pingyu shook hands with him very politely, no matter who it was, he had to be extremely polite now, without any slackness, he must first establish himself in Caolingzi Village!

  Zhou Lei was still very well-behaved, bowing his waist and holding Ye Pingyu's hand. Ye Pingyu really looked down on this person's integrity, thinking about the things he did behind his back, and wanted to give him a slap in the face. However, he couldn't do that, and the more he dealt with such petty people, the less he could afford to offend them.

  As soon as they met with the people from the Party and government office, Bai Yun clapped his hands and laughed: "Director Ye, tell everyone something!"

  Ye Pingyu waved his hand and said: "There's nothing to say, just came to visit everyone. Everyone follows the command of Director Bai and does a good job."

  Yè Píngyǔ didn't make any speeches, instead he yielded the stage to Bái Yún, who was delighted after hearing him and felt that he was a man of his word, worth befriending.

  After visiting the Party and Government Offices, Ye Pingyu went to visit the Organization Department, Propaganda Department, Civil Affairs Department, Letters and Visits Bureau and other units. After finishing his visits to these units, he also came to the Finance Office.

  Bai Yun accompanied him to come, Liang Jun couldn't help but come out to greet him. Although he was a bit uneasy in his heart now, he didn't show too much tension on his face. After seeing Ye Pingyu, his face was very calm.

  Seeing his expression, Ye Pingyu couldn't help but smile and shook hands with the staff of the finance department one by one.

  After spending an afternoon, Ye Pingyu visited all the units in the compound. His main purpose was to get closer to everyone and make people feel that this new mayor is down-to-earth, not arrogant, and enjoying himself with the common folk.

  On the other hand, he was originally working in the countryside and has now returned, so at least he should meet with his old colleagues again and express some feelings.

  After turning around like this, although I dare not say whether the impression of those middle-level cadres on him has changed or not, but those ordinary cadres think he is very good at dealing with people, although young in age, but understands etiquette, knows how to behave, and does not have the usual lightness of young people.

  After turning around for an afternoon, Ye Pingyu finally returned to his own office. The office cleaned up by Bai Yun was very warm and cozy, not only was it clean and tidy, but there were also flowers and grass, making people feel very comfortable working inside.

  The village chief's office wasn't like this originally, it seems that the female comrade who served as the director of the office was meticulous and had a sense of style. Although Baiyun's reputation isn't great and her work style is questionable, she still has her own way of doing things at work. Originally, I didn't have much of a good impression of her, but now I think she's not bad, she's a talented person for the office director position.

  Sitting in the office, he also considered the next step of work. Now, the entire Cao Lingzi Township can be said to have no one of his own. This "own person" is not referring to Chang Fang and others, as their position is too low, unless they are promoted, otherwise they cannot play a supporting role for him. What he meant by "his own people" mainly refers to the members of the township's two committees and important middle-level cadres.

  The power center of the village is mainly in the party committee and the joint meeting of the party committee and government, that is, the two committees. Whether it is the party committee or the two committees, voting is required, so there will definitely be some differentiation between members of the two committees, showing a certain tendency. If they tend to him, people will feel that he is his man. If they tend to Zhao Yuankun, then naturally they are Zhao Yuankun's men. If he wants to promote his own ideas, he must have people who tend to himself, but for now, it seems that there aren't any yet.

  As a leading cadre, he wants to have his own views and governance platform, it is impossible to be humble all the time, being led by others, what he needs to do now is to slowly accumulate strength, then form his own faction, and promote his own views, he knows that doing so is not easy, but he must resolutely move forward.
