At ten in the morning, Ye Xuan stacked the important docunts he had approved and shouted towards the outer room. Yu Hewei quickly jogged in: "Mayor..."
Ye Xuan pointed to the docunts on the table: "Take these docunts to Secretary Cai."
"Yes!" Yu Hewei responded, hugging the docunts as he walked out.
"Deliver them to Secretary Cai in person, and make sure to get back the top two after he reviews them." Ye Xuan reminded him from behind.
"Yes!" Yu Hewei responded, quickening his pace. Since the Mayor demanded it, it indicated that the top two docunts were really urgent, even if it ant squeezing ti from him, he couldn’t rush the Secretary...
Xiangshan City is a small county-level city, with the City Committee and City Governnt operating in the sa building, so the offices of the Mayor and Secretary weren’t far apart.
Secretary Cai, in his fifties, was slightly overweight and dark-skinned. When he didn’t smile, he appeared too stern, like he was about to break out in a rash. He was a native of Xiangshan City, so naturally, he didn’t have much affinity for Ye Xuan, the parachuted officer, especially since Ye Xuan was half his age yet held the sa rank, which really rubbed him the wrong way.
However, he was very clear that Ye Xuan was only seconded here for a short ti, so there was no need to have unpleasant interactions with him. Hence, on the surface, he was very courteous to Ye Xuan.
But seeing Ye Xuan’s sweeping changes to the face of Xiangshan City made him uneasy. Previously, there were also seconded cadres in Xiangshan City, but none had laid out such a grand sche like Ye Xuan.
Maybe, the secondnt was just an excuse to make him drop his guard, and then replace him?... The more he thought about it, the more he felt this possibility was high.
Insidious, too insidious! At this mont, Secretary Cai really couldn’t sit still. The enemy was already at the doorstep, how could he continue to sleep soundly?
Outwardly, he couldn’t confront the opponent with anything, but having the people on his side be attentive, controlling the slight difference between valid and invalid votes during decision-making was still possible...
"Xiao Ning!" Secretary Cai shouted towards the outside.
"Secretary!" Secretary Ning Yuegang quickly ran in.
"Invite Yue Yandas (Executive Vice Mayor), Li Yue Ming (Vice Mayor), Zhang Erping (Director of National Tax Bureau), Liu Shaxian (Director of Bureau of Industry and Comrce), Sha Pinting (Director of Public Security Bureau)..., to sit down at Da Ming Court (a local dium-sized hotel) at six in the evening."
"Yes!" Ning Yuegang jotted it down one by one and exited to make calls. Yet, before he had dialed one, there was a knock on the door.
As a secretary, he dared not arrogantly call out "Co in," so he quickly got up to open the door. Seeing Yu Hewei at the door, his smile faded: "Secretary Yu, what brings you here?"
For this newcor, Ning Yuegang really disdained him. Mayor Ye would be here for at most a year or so, and once he left, let’s see what he could flaunt about. Therefore, he was never afraid of offending Yu Hewei.
Yu Hewei smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly, pointing to the stack of docunts in his hand: "These docunts need Secretary to review. Please kindly inform him, Secretary Ning."
Ning Yuegang’s disdain for him was sothing Yu Hewei was well aware of, but to him, diligently completing assigned tasks and cooperating with the leader’s work was a duty.
If his seriousness and diligence were misunderstood as the arrogance of a sudden promotion, there was nothing he could do about it. Frankly, that was just envy at work.
He also realized that following Mayor Ye was just a temporary glory, but it was enough. Having lived under soone’s nose for too long, the feeling of being respected was indeed nice!
At worst, after Mayor Ye left, he could resign and venture out. This phrase, "A soldier dies for a bosom friend," was his favorite, and now, this is how he felt about Ye Xuan.
"I’ll hand the docunts over to the Secretary directly." Ning Yuegang said as he reached out to take the docunts, but was dodged by Yuan Hewei, anger flashing in his eyes, "What do you an by that?"
"The Mayor instructed to personally hand them to the Secretary; two of them are urgent."
"He is..." Ning Yuegang swallowed his angry retort, unwillingly going in to report. Secretary Cai frowned and waved a hand: "You may leave first."
"But..." For a mont, Ning Yuegang couldn’t fathom Secretary Cai’s intentions, standing there unsure of what to do.
"Leave first!" Secretary Cai ordered, frowning again. This secretary, having followed him for so many years, still couldn’t comprehend his aning. It was really...
"Yes, Secretary!" Ning Yuegang replied, fearful and anxious as he retreated. Upon exiting, when he saw Yu Hewei, his expression imdiately changed: "Secretary is busy, please wait a while."
"Alright!"
The Secretary’s matters were naturally not sothing he could contest, so Yu Hewei had no choice but to sit on the sofa and wait.
The quartz clock on the wall ticked "tock tock," and before he knew it, half an hour passed, making Yu Hewei sowhat impatient.
The sound of paper shuffling ca from inside, which could explain that the Secretary was busy. Whether it was truly being busy or just pretending was open to speculation. He had no right to say anything, yet the two docunts at hand were urgently needed by the Mayor. What to do now?
Thinking it over, he suddenly stood up.
"What’s wrong?" Ning Yuegang glanced at him with disdain in his eyes, "You don’t even have the basic qualities of a secretary; the Mayor sure knows how to pick people!"
Ignoring the contempt, Yu Hewei sincerely said, "Secretary Ning, could you please report again? The Mayor truly needs these docunts urgently!"
