Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Major Adjustment

Shortly after Shuyuan Chu’s call, there was a significant reshuffle in the county personnel.

The Party Secretary had been replaced by a middle-aged man named Guohui Cao, and the county head had also been replaced by another middle-aged man named Fangliang Li. Shuyuan Chu herself was transferred out of the county to the Municipal Organization Department, where she became a deputy director.

Following the major shakeup in the county personnel, the cadre adjustments in Qingyuan Village soon followed.

Huang Yu was transferred to the County Party Organization Department to serve as a section chief. As expected, Gui Ping ran into trouble, but it was unknown what adjustments would be made to his position. Tian Ronghua was assigned to another village as the Executive Deputy Village Head. Qian Wan was transferred to the County Propaganda Department to serve as a deputy section chief. Surprisingly, Qiu Ling seemed to have some connection with Chengjun He and was transferred out of the village, though it was unclear what would happen to her. Lin Qianyong moved to work in the County Armed Forces Department.

The sweeping adjustments left the cadres of Qingyuan Village unable to react.

Soon, everyone’s attention turned to Ji Yang, who had risen in rank to become the Executive Deputy Village Head of Qingyuan Village.

Only one person was left!

The village cadres were now green with regret. If only they had known how sharp Ji Yang was, they would have aligned themselves with him.

Some people regretted their choices, while naturally, many others were overjoyed. Those were the ones who had pledged their support to Ji Yang early on.

Ji Yang himself was a bit overwhelmed at this time. He was aware that the new leaders who had arrived each came from influential families.

The newly appointed Party Secretary of the village was from the Chu Family. His name was Ning Chu, a young man not yet thirty, dressed in the height of fashion, epitomizing the image of a wealthy scion.

From Shuyuan Chu, he learned that this fellow was the younger son of her great-uncle, not too keen on studies and fond of enjoyment. After returning from studying abroad, he joined the workforce but barely spent any days at work. This assignment was his grand-uncle’s idea—to temper him.

Thinking about this individual Shuyuan had described, Ji Yang felt a severe headache coming on. It was going to be exceptionally difficult to help this rich young master.

The Village Head was Li Xiaoming, a member of the Li Family.

Shuyuan Chu had also introduced him. Li Xiaoming belonged to the Li Family of the province. Despite being just a local family, their rise was rapid. The Chu Family intended a marriage alliance with them, and the prospective match was a kin of the Li Family in this city. It was after seeing that lad that the incident with her happened.

However, from both families’ standpoints, the marriage was inevitable, and it was tough for Shuyuan Chu to enact any change. This time, the Li Family has joined forces with the Chu Family.

The Deputy Party Secretary was a scion of the Zhou Family from the provincial city, named Zhou Shuo, also a sub-thirty individual.

The Secretary of Discipline Inspection was from the Ning Family of the Capital City, named Weisheng Ning. He may just be a distant relative within the Ning Family, but even so, he had the backing of his family.

The Organization Commissioner was from the provincial Cao Family, named Zhongyuan Cao.

The Union Commissioner was Lu Shan, a scion of the Lu Family from the city. While they were only a family in the city, they had connections in the ministry in the Capital City, with a strong rising momentum.

The head of the Armed Forces Department was from the provincial military region’s Wang Family, named Yongcheng Wang. However, this lad was a bit too fond of fun and not much interested in politics. He was compelled by his family to transition here.

The Deputy Village Head, Wei Guo, was from the Guo Family of the provincial city, another side branch.

The village cadres sat there listening to the announcement of appointments, carefully observing the line-up of leaders on stage, full of curiosity about this row of men.

Previously, there were always one or two female comrades in such positions. Now, they were all male comrades.

What puzzled everyone was that these leaders seemed unfamiliar with the local conditions, and from their dress, each appeared to be quite the affluent playboy.

The complex emotions surfaced as everyone grasped this new dynamic.

If the leaders had been capable, it would have been to the village’s great advantage. Unfortunately, the newcomers seemed slightly out of step.

Of course, amongst them, Ji Yang was still viewed as a proper leader by others.

County Party Secretary Guohui Cao delivered an extensive talk on cadre development and the building of a clean and honest administration.

Sitting there, Ji Yang watched the cadres below while rapidly considering how to handle the next steps. With the abrupt arrival of so many new leaders, it was unclear how they intended to carry on with the work.

The meeting ended quickly, leaving everyone uncertain of what to do next.

Ji Yang now had abundant tasks; the arrival of so many new leaders unfamiliar with the area meant that naturally, he would have to take on many responsibilities.

Ning Chu walked up to Ji Yang, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I hear you’re quite capable, so a lot will be up to you."

Ji Yang replied, "I will do my best with the tasks at hand. For now, I’ll start by taking care of everyone’s living arrangements."

"That’s good. I’ve heard about the villa housing here; I’m quite eager to see it."

Saying so, he turned to Li Xiaoming, "Let’s go sort out our living arrangements first."

County head Fangliang Li added, "I’d like to see your villa district as well."

Ji Yang had no choice but to lead these leaders toward the villa district.

Today, Ji Yang had observed covertly that even though some were county leaders, they treated these rich young men quite well, which was enough to show that these scions were not just ordinary figures.

In any case, all he had to do was his own job!

Ji Yang knew his place in all this. Competing with them was futile; focusing on his duties was all that was needed. As for any power struggles among them, they could fight it out themselves.
