Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Everyone is Intelligent

Those who had reached this status were all cunning individuals. Even though Ji Yang’s rank was a bit lower than theirs, no one showed any disdain towards him.

Ji Yang had read many novels where characters would provoke incidents, thinking there would be situations where people looked down on him and spoke ill of him. However, that was not the case at all; everyone seemed to show a friendly attitude.

Indeed, at their level, there was not a single person whose intelligence was offline!

Several county chiefs even discussed the development of Qingyuan Village with Ji Yang.

After waiting for a while, the classmates they had arranged to meet had mostly arrived.

One of the mayors from Zhanghe City, named Lu Yongshan, joked, "Today Qiu arranged the meeting, next time I’ll be the one to arrange it."

"Haha, if you’re arranging it, just invite the female classmates, and we won’t be the third wheel," laughed Gao Guojun, the mayor of Qingyang City.

Among them, there were some at the department level who weren’t acting as leaders, and Ji Yang was not very clear about this.

However, after secretly observing for a while, he discovered that those who were not holding positions seemed to have lost their backing.

Those department-level leaders had recently been very low-key in class and displayed extreme enthusiasm towards their classmates.

Ji Yang had always been observing secretly, suspecting that it was through some connections that they had entered this class, looking for new opportunities.

Naturally, Ji Yang would not get involved in these matters and maintained a low profile.

However, Ji Yang had underestimated these people’s access to information. Though Ji Yang now held no official position, the fact that he had a strong backing was still known to everyone.

Therefore, what Ji Yang saw was everyone’s friendly attitude; in fact, some already harbored the idea of forming a good relationship with him.

"Ji, I’m Lu Duoxi, the vice mayor of Qiulin City. We should get closer in the future," said a chubby middle-aged man who came over and shook hands with Ji Yang.

"Good to meet you, Vice Mayor Lu."

"The class teacher said, in this class, everyone is a classmate, and it’s better to address each other as such."

Ji Yang just smiled.

Lu Duoxi said, "I’ve heard about your deeds in Heshan County, you are a remarkable person," giving him a thumbs up.

At that moment, a county party secretary named Xu Guozhi also came over and smiled, "Hello to you both."

Lu Duoxi, obviously familiar with him, said, "Xu, your Haiyuan County is really a great place."

"We should invite everyone to come over and inspect our work. We at Haiyuan County welcome our classmates."

Everyone laughed.

After sitting down, Ji Yang found himself surrounded by several classmates.

Directly opposite was a female classmate named Lin Caiping.

Lin Caiping, a director in the provincial government office, clearly knew a lot about Ji Yang’s situation and treated him very well, occasionally praising the work done by Ji Yang.

These people were impressive—they all spoke so well!

After interacting with them, he realized that his own capabilities were far inferior and that there was much to learn from them.

As all the classmates in their group arrived, some from the other two groups also came, and the number quickly reached about twenty.

The large private room had a huge round table with flowers in the middle.

Qiu Ling was clearly in charge here; under her leadership, the waitstaff entered the room very appropriately.

Behind each person stood a beautiful waitress holding a tray with steaming hot towels.

Everyone cleaned their hands and faces, and tea for rinsing their mouths was also served.

After a while, everyone felt refreshed.

"Qiu, your city is doing great. The hotel industry here is worth learning from," said Zhou Dacheng, the class secretary, with a laugh.

Ji Yang now understood why this man, though only a deputy city party secretary, had become the class secretary. He had backing—formerly the secretary to the provincial party secretary, and now he was highly regarded by the provincial party secretary. After this term, he would likely make a big leap.

Usually, classmates would almost always gather around him, clearly intending to pull strings with the provincial party secretary through him.

Qiu Fang joked, "Ever since you arrived in Yangmu City, the entire face of the city has changed. I hear a team adjustment is happening soon. When you move up further, don’t forget us old classmates."

Qiu Fang was impressive too!

Ji Yang watched everyone joke and laugh.

Zhou Dacheng laughed heartily, "Fellow classmates, I hereby cordially invite everyone to Yangmu City to inspect and guide our work this weekend. I’ll make the arrangements. Come and have a look and give us some advice."

The class welfare officer, Lu Zuo, laughed, "Secretary Zhou has invited us; we have no reason not to go. It’s settled then."

Naturally, nobody wanted to offend him at this moment; everyone agreed to participate in the event.

Qiu Fang laughed, "Though I’m not as impressive as Zhou, I can still arrange well for everyone. So, next week, please come to our city for a survey visit, and I hope everyone grants us the honor."

The laughter continued, and everyone agreed to go.

Their actions seemed to suddenly spark the invitations for everyone to visit, and one after another, they extended invitations, even the leaders from the counties expressed that they would arrange everything well and invited everyone to come for a survey visit.

This was how relationships were formed!

Ji Yang felt that his understanding had deepened.
