Chapter 120: Xiao Jianzhong Takes Office in Cao Lingzi Township

  Seeing Ye Pingyu speechless, Zhao Xue immediately determined that Ye Pingyu was the same kind of person as Xiao Jianzhong and her attitude became cold again. After thinking for a moment, Ye Pingyu finally spoke up: "Zhao Xue, I knew something beforehand, but I thought Xiao Jianzhong could handle this problem well. However, the fact proved that he handled it much worse than I imagined. Your breakup, regardless of whose fault it is, has already reached this point. Saying anything now is useless. I think no matter what I explain, you won't listen to me. But please believe me, I am not the same kind of person as Xiao Jianzhong. What he can do, I absolutely cannot do. You mentioned Bai Director and Chang Fang, they are all formal cadres in our town. Although I am the town head, my relationship with them is just that of colleagues, not like you think, three boats and two boats, what kind of system is that? It's impossible!"

  Ye Pingyu tactfully explained a bit, and Zhao Bingxue listened to it, her eyes moved, saying: "So, you don't have a partner yet?"

  She asked this question again! Ye Pingyu sighed: "Zhao Bingxue, you're not thinking of being a matchmaker, are you? Are you going to introduce one for me?"

  Zhao Bingxue's face immediately turned red and she said: "What are you talking about! I'm not that boring!"

  Seeing her face turn red, Ye Pingyu suddenly thought of someone introducing her to him and felt a bit embarrassed for a moment. He chuckled and said: "I'm quite boring, so let's just forget about the record. I'll head back home now. If there's anything you need my help with in the future, just say it, after all, we're like family!"

  Looking at Ye Pingyu's eloquent appearance, Zhao Bingxue didn't know what to say anymore. Ye Pingyu continued to walk outside, and she could only follow behind him. Today was originally intended to make Ye Pingyu look bad, but unexpectedly, she ended up feeling conquered by him. What role did this man play in her life journey - a passerby or something else?

  As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Huang Jun there. Huang Jun turned around and also saw him, then walked over with a smile and said: "Ye Xiangzhang, when did you arrive? Why didn't you notify me so I could welcome you?"

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Coach Zhao found me for something, didn't dare disturb you, now I'm going back, won't disturb you guys anymore!"

  Huang Jun looked at Zhao Xue with suspicion, since Zhao Xue arrived, he has been very uncomfortable. This little girl is too principled, she wants to stop anything that doesn't look right, now he can't even play cards or collect fees, it's all messed up, making him feel annoyed, he wishes the county bureau would hurry up and transfer her away.

  Now that Ye Pingyu has come to find her, he suspects that Zhao Bingxue is colluding with the villagers to deal with him, the head of the village.

  The head of the police station is superior to the instructor, but if the instructor resists him, the head of the police station can't have his way in everything. If Zhao Bingxue listened to him, there would be no problem, but now she and he are not on the same page at all. As time goes on, will he still be able to do his job?

  "Director Ye, in the future if there's anything, just give me a call and I'll take care of it, no need to come personally!" With this thought, Huang Jun's attitude towards Ye Pingyu became better than before.

  Ye Pingyu shook hands with him, then turned around and shook hands with Zhao Bingxue. When he held her hand, he felt that her hand was very cold, so he looked at her with concern and said: "Director Zhao, take care of your body, I'll go back first!"

  Zhao Bingxue stood there in a daze watching Ye Pingyu leave, and it wasn't until half a day later that she suddenly remembered to say: "Little Gao, take the police car and send off Mayor Ye!"

  Less than a week later, a deputy director of the Organization Department of the County Committee brought Xiao Jianzhong to the countryside. This matter was unexpected by Ye Pingyu. After careful arrangement by the Organization Department of the County Committee, he was actually assigned to Caolingzi Township as the propaganda commissioner!

  "Welcome!" Zhao Yuangong smiled, shaking hands with the deputy director of the county party committee's organization department. Generally, when a member of the two committees takes office, there is no need to hold a meeting, and one of the deputy directors of the county party committee's organization department comes to announce the document. Accompanying Xiao Jianzhong to report for duty was just the deputy director of the organization department, who could send him over without needing a formal announcement.

  Before that, the Organization Department found Xiao Jianzhong to talk to him and told him to be transferred to Cao Lingzi Township for work, because this side happened to lack a deputy department-level cadre. As soon as Xiao Jianzhong heard that he was going to work in Cao Lingzi Township, he immediately thought of Chang Fang's affairs and said that he didn't want to go no matter what. Besides, the conditions in Cao Lingzi Township were very poor, and it would be better to go anywhere else than to Cao Lingzi Township!

  But as soon as he mentioned the reason, the deputy minister of the organization department who was talking to him said seriously: "Xiao Xiao, everything must be subject to organizational arrangement. You are also a leading cadre now. If you don't have this political awareness, do you think you can make progress in the future?"

  As soon as he saw the frightening face of the deputy minister of the Organization Department, Xiao Jianzhong didn't have the courage to resist and obediently followed the organization's arrangement to come here for work.

  Fortunately, Ye Pingyu is on this side. As long as Chang Fang doesn't come into contact with him in the countryside, he'll be fine. If Chang Fang wants to make things difficult for him, he can just avoid her. Of course, if she's willing to rekindle their old relationship, that would be even better.

  After thinking about it, he felt at ease and came to report for duty. When he saw Zhao Yuangong and Ye Pingyu, his attitude was very humble. Having just arrived here, if he wasn't humble, it would be easy to offend people!

  Summoned a few members of the two committees, Zhao Yuangong had dinner with the deputy director of the personnel department, and then left Xiao Jianzhong behind and went back.

  As soon as the deputy director of the personnel department left, Xiao Jianzhong came to Ye Pingyu's office. Seeing him come in, Ye Pingyu poured him a glass of water and sat down with him, smiling: "Jianzhong, I didn't expect that we would be working together again. How is it? No psychological pressure, right?"

  Xiao Jianzhong took the cup of water handed over by Ye Pingyu, took a sip and sighed: "I never thought I'd be working here in my dreams. Although it's a promotion, it's not the right place. Pingyu, do you think I'm very unlucky?"

  Hehe, Ye Pingyu said: "Do you think I'm unlucky? I came here right after graduation, and now you're wearing a hat to come here, becoming the leader of the countryside. Be content! Although Caolingzi Township is relatively backward, the more backward it is, the better opportunities for development there are. The organization has given us a stage to show our abilities, as long as we work hard, it's stronger than you being ordered around every day in the county committee office. Originally I had no helper, now that you're here, let's do it together, how about that?"

  Looking at Ye Pingyu's determined look, Xiao Jianzhong looked at him with wide eyes and said: "Pingyu, do you have a good idea now?"

  Ye Pingyu said: "Of course, there are ideas, but they are not mature. We must do a good job in the economy of the whole county. Only when the economy develops can the county attach importance to us, and at the same time, the common people can support us. You and I both studied economics. If we don't apply what we've learned, isn't that a waste?"

  Xiao Jianzhong sighed and said, "The economics we learned is not applicable in reality, it's better to know nothing at all, just mess around and maybe something will develop."

  Ye Pingyu smiled and said, "What you call 'messing around' is actually not messing around, but rather having pioneering ideas and daring to take roads that others dare not take. This has nothing to do with economics, but rather with ideology. We who study economics should still understand some economic principles, which will be of some use in doing a good job with economic work."

  Xiao Jianzhong said: "You are the top student, from now on I will listen to you, whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it. It's already like this, thinking more won't make a difference."

  Ye Pingyu said: "You can recognize it this way, since you've come then be at ease, since you're at ease then do it, is that right?"

  Xiao Jianzhong nodded, and suddenly looked at Ye Pingyu with a mysterious gaze: "Pingyu, what's the current situation with Chang Fang? You tell me, how should I deal with her in the future when we keep running into each other? Can you transfer her to another department, don't let her stay in the Party and Government Office?"

  When he mentioned this matter, Ye Pingyu couldn't help but laugh: "It's been so long since then, what are you still thinking about? Chang Fang won't be so petty and hold a grudge against you. A slight smile when meeting is enough; if there's still something unresolved between the two of you, I'll help you resolve it!

  Xiao Jianzhong lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I still have some understanding of her, I'm worried that she won't even give me any face, how can I continue to work here?"

  Ye Pingyu couldn't help but criticize him: "I said Jianzhong, why are you being so wishy-washy like a woman? Is your face that important? As long as you do your job well, how can you not get it done? You need to calm down now. The countryside is more complicated than the county seat. We're classmates, and everyone will be watching our relationship. If you don't do your job well, don't blame me for criticizing you!"

  Seeing Xiao Jianzhong's lack of energy, Ye Pingyu was worried that he wouldn't be able to do his job well. Originally, he had hoped for his help, but if it ended up being a hindrance, then it would be better if he didn't come at all.

  Seeing Ye Pingyu's serious face, Xiao Jianzhong felt that Ye Pingyu was still the one with a good head on his shoulders and awareness, while he himself was being too cautious and hesitant in doing things, otherwise there wouldn't have been the situation with Chang Fang.

  The two of them chatted for a while, and Ye Pingyu asked Bai Yun to arrange a room for him to stay in. Originally, this wasn't something he needed to take care of himself, but since Xiao Jianzhong was his classmate, it would be better if he made the arrangements personally.

  Xiao Jianzhong felt that with Ye Pingyu's support, he was no longer lonely here, and from now on, as long as he followed Ye Pingyu and worked hard, everything would be fine.

  The next day, Zhao Yuangong convened a meeting of the two committees and assigned tasks to Xiao Jianzhong. Like Gao Kexin before him, he was mainly in charge of cultural and educational work, which was relatively easy and not too difficult for him. However, this was not satisfactory to Ye Pingyu, who asked him to study economic issues in his spare time, saying that one day they might be useful. Moreover, the countryside needed development and required people who understood economics to conduct research. By doing so, he could also alleviate some of his own workload pressure.
