Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Taking Office

Mr. Ji Yang arrived in South Dian Province and immediately hurried to Quyang City.

Upon arriving here, he realized that this province was truly underdeveloped, far behind Tiannan Province; the further down he went, the more he sensed the poverty and backwardness. Even within the city, the overall situation wasn’t too good.

This time, those people really wanted to deal with him!

Regarding this matter, Mr. Ji Yang didn’t have a good solution, luckily, he was now a county head himself.

Quyang City’s reception toward Mr. Ji Yang was lukewarm; they only assigned the director of the organization department to accompany him to his new post.

The director of the organization department, a middle-aged man named He Feng, was quite talkative and briefed Mr. Ji Yang on some aspects of Chunshui County.

However, Mr. Ji Yang could tell that He Feng only mentioned the favorable aspects and did not elaborate on the specific details of Chunshui County.

Regardless, it was already like this!

Mr. Ji Yang had already planned that upon arriving in a new place, he would observe more and act less, first getting a feel for the situation.

"Mr. Ji Yang, the former secretary of Chunshui County has retired, and a new secretary has not been appointed yet. Also, the previous county head has been transferred away, thus the work there is currently overseen by Vice Secretary Bao Geishan. He is a comrade with extensive grassroots work experience and has a high prestige within the county. When you arrive, you must collaborate with them in your efforts."

Mr. Ji Yang said, "What’s the situation with the party construction?"

What Mr. Ji Yang meant was, in the absence of a county party secretary, who should he follow in this regard upon his arrival.

This was a critical issue, Mr. Ji Yang couldn’t possibly listen solely to Bao Geishan, considering he himself also held the dual roles of a vice secretary.

He Feng looked at Mr. Ji Yang, surprised that he raised such a pointed question immediately.

Originally, their intention was to blur this matter and let Mr. Ji Yang work with Bao Geishan under the guise that Bao Geishan was overseeing the county’s operations, but now it seemed that plan wouldn’t work.

"You all discuss and proceed, you are a vice secretary, and so is he."

Although the response was vague, Mr. Ji Yang had his own ideas; since it was like this, he would take control of both the party and the government.

He Feng looked at Mr. Ji Yang again, feeling that Mr. Ji Yang was not the type to comfortably follow others. He had no idea what Mr. Ji Yang might do next.

Of course, the city leadership was also troubled about Chunshui County; they knew there were issues there. Despite sending investigative teams, both openly and covertly, the ultimate outcomes always amounted to nothing, and some even ran into trouble. That place was really not easy to manage.

The car was driving on a road that wasn’t very good, nearly shaking apart.

"This road is too bad!" Mr. Ji Yang remarked.

He Feng replied with a wry smile, "Our province doesn’t have much money for road construction; there’s not much we can do. This road becomes difficult to navigate when it rains, and the villages can only send people to patch up the holes."

Mr. Ji Yang looked around; the area was surrounded by mountains, making road construction extraordinarily difficult.

"Chunshui County is one of the poorest counties in the entire province. Once you are there, you must think creatively."

Mr. Ji Yang agreed, realizing that this county was not going to be easy to handle.

Three hours later, the car finally entered Chunshui County.

Just as they reached the border of the area, He Feng’s face broke into a smile, "The comrades from the county have come to greet us; it seems they welcome your arrival."

Mr. Ji Yang looked ahead; there were several vehicles stopped there, even police officers were standing by.

A person standing in the middle was particularly conspicuous; everyone was gathered around him.
