Xiangshan City is located in the northwest corner of Yu Province and is known as a nationally famous poverty-stricken city (county level). The rural population accounts for 95% of the entire city, with their primary economic source relying on the harvest of two seasons a year (sumr wheat and autumn corn).
Due to the lack of chanization in the area, farming completely depends on manual labor, so in sumr and autumn, the strong labor force stays ho to tend to the crops, while in winter and spring they form groups to go to the big cities to do construction work to earn expenses.
This way of working determines that it’s unlikely for the farrs in this area to beco the main workforce in factories — factories can’t work for two seasons and stop for two seasons, right?
When Ye Xuan arrived in Xiangshan City, he faced such a ss: industrial stagnation, poor agricultural harvests, and comrce being ignored.
Being sent to such a place, naturally, there was an intention — using his own advantages to change the local predicant, while making sure his path to promotion is above reproach. In such a win-win situation, why not do it?
In such a small place, the sudden arrival of a remarkably handso mayor led to a direct reaction: the viewership of the city’s TV news broadcast hit a historical high!
If any day there isn’t so report on the new mayor’s whereabouts, people feel a void in their hearts. If three days go by without seeing the new mayor’s image, the city TV station is sure to receive countless inquiry calls...
Facing this situation, the staff at the TV station feel both happy and perplexed; how can they answer questions on behalf of the new mayor with their status?
But the ordinary citizens don’t care. In their view, since the news broadcast is your TV station’s program, then it’s your responsibility to regularly show us images of the mayor!
When this issue was reflected to Ye Xuan, he couldn’t help but cry or laugh. This backward little county indeed needs more educational promotion!
Fortunately, since arriving in Xiangshan County, he hasn’t been idling. People’s wishes are basically t every day, and the security situation in Xiangshan City has improved quite noticeably.
The most excited are undoubtedly the female staff at Xiangshan City Governnt, who get to see a mayor more star-like than stars. Tsk tsk... whether he’s theirs or not, feasting their eyes is still a blessing.
At 7:40 in the morning, a black Santana slowly drove into Xiangshan County Governnt courtyard. The staff walking on both sides unconsciously puffed up their chests and quickened their steps — people who didn’t know might think the courtyard was full of retired soldiers going to work.
Sitting in the car, Ye Xuan was dressed in a dark gray suit, looking particularly capable and profound. He took the day’s itinerary and glanced at it, marking with a pen: "Xiao Yu, I’ll handle so docunts in the morning, then go to Niutou Village in the afternoon to check out the vegetable greenhouse construction, and then detour to Shuxia Village to see the toy factory construction."
"Yes!" Secretary Yu Hewei hurriedly responded.
When the car stopped, Xiao Yu reflexively ran over to help Ye Xuan with the car door, but the latter had already opened the door himself and strode into the office building.
Driver Xiao He chuckled with schadenfreude: "Secretary Yu, if you want to keep pace with the mayor, you really need to train well. With your physique..."
Yu Hewei, angry, slapped him and quickly walked towards the office building, sneaking a glance at his own fra and curling his lips into a bitter smile. Indeed, with his bean sprout-like physique, keeping pace with the mayor is quite exhausting.
But, no matter how much he eats since childhood, he just can’t gain weight. He’s quite healthy, but just this thin, giving people an impression of being fragile.
It’s also for this reason that he was always trailing in the secretariat office after being assigned to Xiangshan City. Now, he’s finally had so good luck being chosen by Mayor Ye... Not happening, tomorrow’s morning exercise will have to be increased by ten minutes, can’t let this physique drag down the mayor!
"Hello, Mayor!"
"Hello, Mayor!"
"..."
Nodding and greeting the staff along the way, Ye Xuan heard the panting coming from behind him, so he slowed his steps. Waiting for the other to catch up, he smiled apologetically: "I’ve been used to being in the army and often overlook your endurance capacity..."
Yu Hewei patted his chest and guaranteed: "Mayor, don’t worry, I’m exercising every day now. Soon, I’ll barely be able to keep pace with you!"
Hearing him use "barely," Ye Xuan’s eyes twinkled with a hint of smile. The reason he chose Yu Hewei was exactly for his honesty. For Ye, having a genuine assistant who can get things done is what he values; flattery seekers need not apply!
