Seeing Dirk Carter still in a daze.
Helen Fletcher smiled slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Haven't seen for so long that you can't rember ?"
"Uh... no, it's just... are you really Sister Helen?"
Even now, Dirk Carter still couldn't quite believe it.
Helen Fletcher covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Do I need to take off all my clothes for you to rember ?"
"No, no, I don't an that, it's just... how can you be the new County Committee Secretary? It's unbelievable."
Dirk Carter exclaid.
Helen Fletcher cleared her throat and said solemnly, "What? Do I not look like a County Committee Secretary?"
"Not really, it's just... you're such a gentle person, and they say outside that... say..."
"Say I'm like a tigress?"
Helen Fletcher interrupted Dirk Carter and asked.
Although the words weren't the sa, the aning was.
Dirk Carter didn't nod, but from his expression, Helen Fletcher had already guessed what was going on.
She pointed to the sofa and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Dirk Carter obediently sat down, still feeling a bit constrained. Despite recalling the images of them together that day, it just didn't feel that real.
"Who did you offend?"
Helen Fletcher suddenly asked.
Dirk Carter was stunned and hadn't answered when Helen Fletcher said, "I've heard a bit about your situation. What happened today, is it Ignatius Morgan purposely ssing with you?"
"Yes."
Dirk Carter nodded.
Helen Fletcher patted his shoulder.
She said, "Okay, let's go to the eting. You don't need to say anything. I'll handle the rest."
Having said that.
Helen Fletcher walked to the door and opened it.
The whispering crowd outside instantly fell silent.
"Let's go to the eting room."
Helen Fletcher only said one sentence.
Then she walked straight out.
Apart from Jensen yer, the director of the County Committee office leading the way in front, no one else dared to speak.
"How was it?"
As Dirk Carter ca out, Caden Dixon approached and asked.
Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on, it's just..."
"Alright, adapt as you go. If sothing goes wrong, just bla it on ."
Having said that, Caden Dixon also followed up.
He also didn't know how to explain this situation; he couldn't possibly admit that the current County Committee Secretary Helen had once spent a crazy night with him.
In the large eting room.
The departnt leaders who arrived early were already seated.
There were prepared four seats on the panel.
Helen Fletcher and Ignatius Morgan sat in the middle, with Emline Carter and Caden Dixon seated on either side. In the front row below were the County Committee mbers who rushed over, and the second row was for the deputy mayors and other deputy-level cadres.
Dirk Carter's position happened to be on the edge of the second row.
Once everyone was seated.
It was instantly silent, which showed that Helen Fletcher still had authority.
"Is everyone here?"
Helen Fletcher suddenly asked.
Jensen yer glanced around the eting room and said, "Secretary Helen, so are still on their way and might take a little longer."
Helen Fletcher said, "Those who haven't arrived can just stand outside."
Jensen yer was stunned.
But could only nod in compliance.
Everyone else also felt a little tense inside; despite the fact that this leader was very beautiful, her face had an inherent coldness.
"Alright, let's have an impromptu eting. I'd like to introduce myself briefly. I'm Helen Fletcher, the newly appointed County Committee Secretary of Kenton County. So of you might already know ."
Helen Fletcher said.
Then, she scanned the entire room with her shadowy gaze.
She said, "Comrade Dirk Carter, stand up."
Dirk Carter was stunned.
But still obediently stood up.
At that mont, he noticed Ignatius Morgan on the stage with a look of delight, as if he had sensed sothing about to happen.
Everyone seed to be anticipating a good show, waiting for Dirk Carter to be embarrassed.
"I've worked in the disciplinary committee for a long ti, and have seen many local officials' procrastinating styles, formalism, and vanity projects. But coming to Kenton County today has been refreshing in so ways. So I want to give special recognition to Comrade Dirk Carter for having courage, responsibility, and strong execution skills. The damaged underground water network affected people's water issues, and Comrade Dirk Carter managed to handle it in a tily manner. That's excellent. Here, on behalf of the County Committee, I comnd Comrade Dirk Carter. Everyone, applause!"
Helen Fletcher finished speaking and led the applause.
The people below were montarily baffled.
What's the situation?
The new County Committee Secretary was blocked on the road for three or four hours, but instead of losing her temper, she gave praise?
Ignatius Morgan's smug expression suddenly froze.
The look on his face couldn't have been more unsightly.
Originally intending to make things difficult for Dirk Carter, it unexpectedly led to comndation, and the sense of disparity in his heart was indescribable.
Paused, he softly said, "Secretary Helen, the actual executor is Willy Wright from the Water Managent Bureau."
"Correct, correct, and Willy Wright from the Water Managent Bureau, when I asked who approved this matter, he didn't claim the credit and assigned all the credit to the deputy mayor. This spirit also deserves our recognition. Comrades like Willy Wright should be given more responsibilities, don't you agree, County Mayor Dixon?"
Helen Fletcher asked.
Ignatius Morgan, hearing that there was more to gain, imdiately nodded and said, "I agree."
"What about you, Deputy Carter?"
Helen Fletcher asked again.
Emline Carter said, "I defer to Secretary Helen's decision."
"Executive Director Dixon, what about you?"
"I have no objections either."
As long as Dirk Carter was fine, Caden Dixon naturally had no problems.
A minute later, all four of the most heavyweight leaders in Kenton County expressed their approval. Willy Wright below was ecstatic. Although he couldn't suppress Dirk Carter, getting a promotion himself felt like a windfall, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He imdiately stood up and said, "Secretary Helen, in any position, it's all about serving the people, so I, Willy Wright, am not asking for any reward."
"Great, you see that? Did everyone see that? The spirit of Willy Wright is worth learning from all of us."
"No, no, Secretary Helen, you're greatly exaggerating."
Willy Wright said proudly.
Helen Fletcher took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, let announce my first appointnt after taking office: removing Willy Wright from his position as Director of the Water Managent Bureau and transferring him to the position of Director of the teorological Bureau."
Willy Wright was already lost in the joy of victory.
He was still pondering what Helen Fletcher ant by giving him more responsibilities?
Could it be that he was being transferred to an even more important departnt?
Upon hearing the words "teorological Bureau," his smile froze, and for a mont, he thought he heard it wrong.
Just about to speak.
Helen Fletcher said, "teorological work bears the major responsibility of all county residents' lives. As Willy Wright just said, no matter what position, it's all about serving the people. I really like what he said, and I hope that in the teorological bureau post, Willy Wright can, just like today, not boast, not be arrogant, and work diligently on every single task. Everyone, let's give a round of applause."
Another round of applause.
But this ti, whether it was Ignatius Morgan or Willy Wright, it felt like swallowing their pride along with the applause, unable to express their bitterness.
Especially Ignatius Morgan.
He thought his subordinate could be elevated further.
Unexpectedly, it was a blatant suppression.
"Is Comrade Cecil Ford from the Organization Departnt here?"
Helen Fletcher called out to the audience.
Cecil Ford stood up and said, "Secretary Helen, I'm Cecil Ford."
Helen Fletcher waved her hand and said, "Minister Ford, regarding the transfer of Comrade Willy Wright, your organizational departnt should expedite the procedures. Once done, bring it to for signature."
"Understood, Secretary Helen, the organizational departnt will expedite it."
Once those words were spoken.
It basically secured the decision.
Willy Wright's heart was already battered at this point.
His gaze constantly shifting towards Ignatius Morgan, hoping he would speak up for him.
But what could Ignatius Morgan do?
He couldn't outright say that the teorological bureau was less important than the water managent bureau. After all, the division of revolutionary work doesn't have high and low status differences.
