Chapter 223: Chapter 223: People Greatly Surprised

Hundreds of officials filled the auditorium, their eyes continuously focused toward the doors, even those engaged in conversation occasionally glanced in that direction.

"Here they come," someone said at that moment.

Then through the windows, everyone saw a line of cars pulling in, then stopping in the yard.

Due to the parking spot being around a corner, those seated inside couldn’t see who exactly was getting out of the cars.

Naturally, everyone straightened up and no one wandered around anymore.

Being seasoned in the world of government, everyone understood one thing deeply: the first impression in front of the leaders was extremely important, as appearing unstable might jeopardize their future.

It wasn’t long before office staff entered to check the equipment setup and turned on all the lights.

Following this, leaders from the municipal committee, led by a deputy minister from the Organization Department, entered the auditorium.

Interestingly, the highest-ranking individual present was probably this deputy minister.

Closely following were members of the new team.

The officials from Heshan County were shining their eyes upon these new leaders, understanding that these were the people who would manage them from now onwards.

The faces of the leaders were all unfamiliar.

Yet as everyone’s gaze was fixed, many people’s eyes suddenly sharpened as they saw a familiar figure mixed among the crowd, and shockingly, ranked fifth in line.

This...

Many officials recognized Ji Yang; seeing Ji Yang walking together with the new county leaders, they thought they were seeing things.

At this moment, Huang Yu almost exclaimed in surprise; she had never expected Ji Yang to be a part of the leadership team.

Liu Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Gu Xiaogui and those who had once sided with Ji Yang, who had subsequently fallen from grace following Ji Yang’s departure, felt their hearts almost bursting out of their chests.

The old leader is back!

The atmosphere was indescribable; each leader took their respective seats one by one.

The officials from Heshan County looked at the desks on the stage, which would typically hold name tags, but this time, leaving everyone in the dark about who exactly had arrived, as no such indicators were placed.

Mayor Gao Dazhong then cleared his throat, silencing the room before saying, "Everyone is aware of the situation in Heshan County, mass corruption involving many officials. To stabilize the situation promptly, after deliberation, a new team has been assigned to Heshan County. Now, I’d like Minister Ning to announce the decision of the municipal committee."

Ning Wuyu switched on her microphone, looked over the audience, and with a pleasant voice said, "Following the discussion at the municipal standing committee meeting, it has been decided that the following comrades will take charge of Heshan County. Now, I will read the decision."

The room was extremely quiet, everyone listened intently, as if afraid of missing a single word.

In reality, the people of Heshan County didn’t know what to expect from the new officials; what they were most eager to find out was what role Ji Yang held among those seated above.

When Ji Yang’s roles were announced, everyone’s eyes widened again.

Standing committee member, deputy county head, Qingyuan Village Party Secretary!

With Ji Yang’s positions announced, everyone’s gazes returned to the serious-looking Ji Yang.

So young!

Although they knew Ji Yang was young, the reality still startled everyone deeply.

At this moment, Huang Yu’s heart thrilled immeasurably. Not only being Qingyuan village’s secretary didn’t excite her, but being a part of the leadership team, especially ranked fifth, was what truly incited her enthusiasm.

Those who regarded themselves as Ji Yang’s loyal followers straightened their chests; they knew their moment to rise had come.

Many officials, aware of the circumstances of those individuals, looked enviously at them, knowing that a mere step could lead to their turning fortunes.

Ji Yang, sitting above, also watched the faces below, not feeling entirely calm himself - after all, after a journey outside, he had finally returned.

The meeting proceeded as per protocol, and after the decision was announced, it was time for everyone to express their stance.

Ji Yang didn’t seek prominence but expressed a standard and appropriate stance.

After the meeting, Municipal Party Secretary Wen Chengming and Mayor Gao Dazhong called Ji Yang over.

Wen Chengming said, "Ji, the heart of the chaos in Heshan County is Qingyuan Village; you are now its secretary. What’s your plan for the staff adjustments there? If you have any suitable candidates, propose them now, and we’ll confirm the picks immediately to avoid delays."

Ji Yang immediately understood; their greatest concern now was stabilizing the situation in Qingyuan Village.

Seeing Ji Yang hesitating, Wen Chengming said, "This time the county and village teams, since everyone is familiar, we’ll skip the usual procedures. Just propose your candidates, Old Gao and I will confirm them immediately."

Such a thing is possible?

Ji Yang was naturally pleased with the outcome.
