Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Ji Yang Has Backing

Soon, the results of the investigation carried out by the provincial inspection team concerning Qingyuan Village were released.

In this period, with the arrival of the inspection team from the city, everyone’s gaze towards Ji Yang was filled with complexity.

In everyone’s eyes, with the departure of the Chu Family, Ji Yang had lost his backing within the province. It was presumed that the investigation targeted especially at him would likely lead to his downfall.

Following various private discussions, many officials tried to avoid reporting to Ji Yang as much as possible.

Although Ji Yang was one of the members of the county committee and the party secretary of Qingyuan Village, with significant power, people were not optimistic about his prospects.

The officialdom is a place that looks at one’s background. Without it, one loses support and cannot go far. Ji Yang was clearly the unlucky one.

Of course, not everyone disregarded Ji Yang’s words. A few who were promoted by him still reported their work to him every day.

Ji Yang naturally took all of this into his sights. Only under such circumstances could he distinguish which people were loyal.

What comforted Ji Yang was that people like Huang Yu were obviously determined followers.

What piqued Ji Yang’s curiosity even more was Liu Yun. This woman no longer sought a patron. As news spread, she often reported to work and relayed any information she heard about Ji Yang, clearly intending to side with him.

Liu Yun was beautiful and capable. Ji Yang was pleased that she remained by his side during such times.

Of course, there were still some officials who chose to distance themselves at this time. Though they did not make it overtly obvious, a look was enough to understand their stance.

Ji Yang observed all of this keenly, and not only did he pay attention, but the other committee members were also observing the situation of those officials.

Everyone was waiting for the results of the investigation.

Today, as the investigation results were released, people realized they might have guessed wrong.

The findings showed that Ji Yang had no issues. Not only were there no problems, but he was also recognized as a clean and capable official.

As everyone was still digesting this outcome, news came through that Vice Mayor Lu from the city had run into trouble.

"Secretary, are you aware of Vice Mayor Lu’s situation?" Huang Yu was the first to rush into Ji Yang’s office.

"I haven’t heard, what happened?" Ji Yang had just returned from a village. They were planning to develop it into a flower cultivation base, and there was already interest from businessmen in that village. Ji Yang was also coordinating work on this.

Huang Yu gave Ji Yang another look before saying, "That Lu Zhiqiang’s father is named Lu Yong. It’s said that the people who came from the city to investigate you were sent by them. Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to find fault with you, but the provincial authorities started investigating Lu Yong and discovered significant problems with him. Today, Lu Yong was asked to account for these issues."

Huang Yu was also somewhat shocked. In fact, she thought that Ji Yang had risen through the ranks thanks to the Chu Family, especially Chu Shuyuan. Now that Shuyuan had been transferred, Ji Yang supposedly had no backing left. When the Lu Family targeted Ji Yang, she too was nervously anxious. She didn’t expect that instead of leading to Ji Yang’s downfall, it was the Lu Family who ended up in trouble.

Looking at the handsome Ji Yang, Huang Yu suddenly felt she couldn’t quite see through him.

Hearing that Lu Yong was in trouble, Ji Yang was also surprised. However, he quickly came to terms with it. This was quite normal. The authorities above didn’t want any more trouble in Qingyuan, and he had finally settled things down. They were the ones stirring up trouble – wasn’t this a disgrace?

That Lu Yong probably didn’t have much of a background; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come after him.

A self-destructive act!

Having figured this out, Ji Yang took a sip of tea and said, "That’s a matter for those above us. We just need to focus on our own duties. The work in the village is now on the right track. The People’s Congress meeting will soon convene, and without it, you all can’t carry out your work efficiently. I’ve nearly sorted everything out for the meeting next week. After the meeting, we’ll immediately proceed with the cadre adjustments. You need to place the right people in the right positions."

Huang Yu immediately understood that some of the unsteady individuals were sure to be replaced. This was indeed a thorough investigation.

"I understand, the implementation of some tasks will be assured."

Seeing that Huang Yu understood, Ji Yang nodded slightly and said, "The issue in Qingyuan Village isn’t just about stabilizing the situation. We have much work to do; we need to develop this place completely. Only by developing it can everyone look forward to a better future."

Huang Yu smiled softly, "I know. Anyway, we will unite around you to do our work well."

Ji Yang felt pleased. From now on, the issue with his properties would be in the past.

As for romantic entanglements, in truth, the higher one climbed, the less it became an issue.
