Chapter 117: Ye Xiao'er Wants to Be an Official
Not following Ding Jianliang's idea, Ye Pingyu temporarily gave up the urge to develop the economy and put his energy into the NPC election. His position as village head was about to undergo an election by the people's congress, a mere formality.
After his efforts in the countryside, although some people still underestimated his qualifications, they basically recognized him, especially when Liang Jun heard that he had absolved him of responsibility and protected him at the two committees meeting, making him feel warm. In private, Old Zheng also talked to him about this matter, from what can be seen now, these people are still on Ye Pingyu's side.
With Liang Jun's support, he unknowingly gained the backing of a group of people. The once deserted doorway suddenly became bustling with activity as more and more people came to seek instructions and report on their work.
Since this situation has been formed, the election of the People's Congress is not a problem at all. Moreover, this is something that the county party committee has decided on. If Ye Pingyu can't get elected, Zhao Yuangong will probably have to take most of the responsibility. Therefore, Zhao Yuangong also needs to do some preparatory work in advance to ensure that Ye Pingyu gets elected.
As a result, he, who was young and vigorous, was elected as the head of Caolingzi Township with an unanimous vote, more than a dozen votes higher than Zhao Yuangong when he was first elected.
"Congratulations on your election as village head, Ye!" said the director of the township people's congress with a smile after the election.
Ye Pingyu also smiled, seeing that he had finally gone through the formalities, his heart felt a bit more at ease. From now on, he would be able to show off his skills and prove his existence. Otherwise, as long as he still held the title of acting county head, he would always feel somewhat unsteady in his heart.
After the election, Xiao Jianzhong suddenly called him and told him that he might be going down to take office, but didn't know where specifically. As soon as Ye Pingyu heard this news, he felt very strange - wasn't being a secretary in the county party committee good enough? Why did he have to go down to take office?
Xiao Jianzhong was tongue-tied and couldn't speak, mainly because he didn't want to mention it. Since he became the head of the secretarial department, he had been very arrogant, not only were there people in the department who didn't like him, but also several deputy directors of the county party committee office didn't like him either. The other day, he received a phone call in his office and thought it was a cadre from a lower-level township, so he spoke to them in a somewhat impolite manner. It turned out that the person on the other end was a leader from the municipal government. After the fact, he told the other deputy directors of the county party committee office, who then seized this opportunity to speak ill of him in front of Cui Xinhua, causing him to receive severe criticism.
Being criticized is a minor matter, originally because of the existence of Ye Pingyu, others were still a little apprehensive and didn't dare to do anything to him. Now that Ye Pingyu has gone to work below, they no longer have any need to worry about it, so they think about taking down his position as Secretary General.
But this official position is not easy to go up or down, after all, Xiao Jianzhong has already become the head of the department, and it can't be said that he will be removed from office just because he wants to. He needs to be reassigned, thinking about it, there are no positions left in the county party committee office, so if he is to be assigned, he must go out. This doesn't stump them, so they come up with a plan and contact the organization department to transfer Xiao Jianzhong to a lower position, but promote him one level to deputy department level!
This deputy department-level position is also easy to get, but the cadres of the county party committee office are generally unwilling to go unless they take up a leading position in the government or the party. Although Xiao Jianzhong was not willing to go, he had no choice in this matter.
After hanging up the phone with Xiao Jianzhong, Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and felt that it was okay for him to take on the job, temper himself, and maybe it would be good for him.
No longer thinking about this matter, Ye Pingyu was thinking about how to develop the economy. The small winery couldn't be done, and there were no other enterprises. This foundation is indeed quite speechless. Caolingzi Township is a major agricultural township, it seems that we can only work on agriculture first.
The Jinhu rice brand has not been promoted, and the village still encounters difficulties in selling rice. Shouldn't we do something about this to solve the people's livelihood problems first?
At first he had a mind to do things in this aspect, but he didn't have the opportunity. Now that he has become the head of the village, it's only natural for him to take care of these matters.
Thinking of this, Ye Pingyu decided to call Lao Zheng over for a discussion. He was in charge of agriculture and wanted to get his cooperation on this matter. In addition, the village also needed to do some work together to make this thing happen.
After thinking about this matter, he was ready to make a phone call to get in touch. Suddenly, he heard the noise outside the office door. Ye Pingyu's eyebrows furrowed, wondering what it was. Just as he thought of ignoring it, the door was pushed open.
"Big nephew, you're here!" A drunkard suddenly burst in, and Ye Pingyu took a closer look to find that it was Ye Xiaoer from their village!
According to the village's hierarchy, he should be called Ye Xiao Er Shu, differing by one generation. Seeing him suddenly burst in, Ye Pingyu was momentarily unsure what was happening, and seeing that he was drunk, sitting there motionless for a moment!
"Director Ye, this person insists on seeing you and can't be stopped!" Chang Fang and Zhao Yan then walked over, they were the ones who had just tried to block Ye Xiao'er from entering.
Seeing them walking over, Ye Pingyu waved his hand to let them go out first. He wanted to see what Ye Xiao'er had come to him for. They were all from the same village and couldn't let Ye Xiao'er return saying that he was not seen in the countryside, lacking human touch.
Chang Fang and Zhao Yan walked out, closing the door behind them. Ye Pingyu then looked at Ye Xiaoer, who was already seated on the sofa, and said: "Second Uncle, how did you get so drunk? What's going on that you're looking for me?"
Ye Xiao'er raised her eyelids and looked at Ye Pingyu, sticking out her tongue and saying: "Big, big nephew, that Yang, Yang Leyi bullied me, you have to stand up for me!"
As soon as he heard this, Ye Pingyu's heart moved and asked: "How did Uncle Le Yi bully you?"
"He won't let me into the village office and says he's going to beat me up. You have to take charge for me."
As soon as he heard this, Ye Pingyu felt a little cry and laugh, this kid must have made trouble at the village committee again, otherwise Yang Leyi wouldn't say he wanted to beat him.
Thinking of this, Ye Pingyu said: "I'll criticize him later, you go home first, I still have things to do here and can't accompany you."
Ye Xiao'er said discontentedly: "No way, I have to stay with you. Once I go back, Yang Leyi will definitely beat me again. You have to protect me!"
Ye Pingyu felt that Ye Xiaoer was really a scoundrel, his own father had accepted his gift just the other day, fortunately he had let him return it.
"Then you can't stay here all the time, or I'll have someone send you back to the village, and Yang Leyi won't hit you, will he?" Ye Pingyu said calmly, trying not to get Ye Xiaoer too excited.
"Impossible! You take me back and once you leave, won't Yang Le beat me up again?"
Isn't this nonsense? How could Yang Leyi hit him? Ye Pingyu's face sank as he asked, "Then what do you say we should do? Why would Yang Leyi hit you for no reason?"
At this point, Ye Xiao'er raised his head and looked at Ye Pingyu carefully, saying: "Big nephew, you are the village chief, your official position is higher than Yang Leyi's, can he listen to what you say or not?"
Ye Pingyu knew there was a trap here, so he thought for a moment and said: "This is not easy to say, he is the head of a village, I am the head of a township, each in charge of their own, no distinction between big and small!"
Ye Xiao'er suddenly sneered and said: "Big nephew, don't try to deceive me. The township head is higher than the village head, the county head is higher than the township head, and the provincial head is even higher than the county head. Don't think I don't know that Yang Leiyi, this village head, will be obedient in front of you. You promise me one thing, and I'll leave!"
As soon as he heard this, Ye Pingyu thought that although the kid was a rascal, he wasn't stupid, and asked involuntarily: "What did you promise him?"
Ye Xiao'er said: "Tell Yang Leyi that I'm also an official now, and let him be more polite to me from now on!"
Ye Pingyu couldn't help but laugh and say: "What kind of official are you? Do I need to tell him?"
Yeh Xiaoer said: "You seal my official position, I can go back and tell him directly!"
Ye Pingyu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, saying: "What official position can I appoint you to? This is not a position that one can simply take on a whim."
Ye Xiao'er said: "You are now the village head, you let me be and I can be, I don't ask to be a big official, let me be deputy village head or something."
It wasn't until then that Ye Pingyu understood the purpose of Ye Xiaoer's visit, which was to become an official, and as a result, he had made such a big fuss, saying that Yang Leyi wanted to beat him.
"Second Uncle, being an official in the village also has its procedures. That is to say, you need to be supported by the villagers. If no one supports you, it's useless even if you become an official. If you want to be an official, just do more good deeds in the village and after a long time, the villagers will support you. Are you still worried that you can't become an official?" Ye Pingyu patiently advised Ye Xiaoer.
Ye Xiao'er ignored all this and said: "I don't care, you are the head of the village, whether or not to be an official is your word, if you don't let me become an official, I won't leave today!"
Seeing him here, Ye Pingyu walked up and said: "Second Uncle, this is the county government, we can't just do as we please. Being an official is a serious matter that requires careful consideration!"
Ye Xiao'er's drunken eyes stared and said: "Big nephew, you say this and I don't want to hear it. What do you mean by 'coming in a disorderly manner'? Your old man, also my sworn brother Ye Cunli, has already drunk my wine. He promised me that he would let you be an official for me, but until now there is no movement. If I don't come to find you, how long will I have to wait?"
After messing around for half a day, it was still his old man who came up with this, Ye Pingyu said irritably: "Didn't you already return the wine?"
Ye Xiao'er said: "How can the wine that has been drunk be spat out? Can it be spat back out? I don't care, if you don't agree with me, I won't leave."
As soon as he saw him lingering here and not leaving, and thought of his old man's gift-giving incident, Ye Pingyu was really angry. He walked to the office desk, picked up the phone on the table and dialed Bai Yun: "Director Bai, come up for a moment!"
Seeing him making a phone call, Ye Xiao'er sneaked a peek and then pretended to fall asleep, lying down in Ye Pingyu's office without leaving.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xia'er suddenly fell into a deep sleep. Ye Pingyu was so angry that he sat there for half a day without saying a word.
