Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Isolation

"Minister He, a pleasure." The man in the middle hurried forward to shake hands with He Feng.

Then one by one, the leaders stepped forward to greet He Feng with handshakes.

At this time, Ji Yang stood there, with not a single person coming forward to speak to him, looking very isolated.

Seeing this, Ji Yang glanced at the middle-aged man’s smirk and immediately understood that it was intentional.

Fortunately, at that moment, He Feng also thought of Ji Yang and said, "Let me introduce everyone to the new county mayor, Comrade Ji Yang."

Then he said to Ji Yang, "This is Comrade Bao Geishan, the deputy secretary, who has been temporarily in charge of the work during this period."

Bao Geishan smiled and said, "Minister He, it was my duty according to the organizational arrangements. Let’s not talk here and block traffic; we can talk more once we get to the county building."

After finishing his speech, he did not speak with Ji Yang, but instead addressed He Feng, "Minister He, how about you ride in my car?"

He Feng was taken aback for a moment before responding hesitantly, "Alright, let’s go."

Ji Yang could see that even a person like He Feng had to give way to Bao Geishan.

Quite complicated!

It was not until then that Ji Yang began to further grasp the complex dynamics of this place.

Having just arrived, they were already harboring thoughts of isolating him; the work ahead would be extremely challenging, and it was even possible that no one would be willing to come and report their work to him.

Ji Yang had been psychologically prepared for his arrival here, but now he realized his preparations might not have been sufficient. Without people to follow his lead, he would merely be a figurehead after arriving here.

Seeing all the leaders rallying around Bao Geishan and none extending goodwill towards him, Ji Yang understood that he needed to be even more cautious in his next steps; if they ever framed him, there would be barely anyone to speak in his defense.

Everyone got into the vehicles, and a convoy swiftly made its way to the county.

Ji Yang found himself still sitting in He Feng’s car, while He Feng went to ride with Bao Geishan.

As the car entered the town, Ji Yang saw the decrepit state of the city.

Even though he knew it was impoverished, the extent of the poverty still surprised him.

However, when the car reached a certain area, Ji Yang made a new discovery—there was a quite decent residential complex, completely different from other areas.

After traveling a bit further, a large building loomed into view.

The government building had arrived!

Observing this building, which was out of place compared to the other structures, Ji Yang was really enlightened.

Apart from this large building, there were also some other nice smaller buildings inside.

A tall perimeter wall segregated the area from the outside.

Impressive—they were completely intent on disassociating from the masses.

However, what Ji Yang found incomprehensible was that such construction seemed to go unquestioned; he wondered what everyone thought of it.

The driver maintained silence, his demeanor very solemn; faced with so many questions, Ji Yang could only guess in his head.

After the car stopped, everyone got out.

Ji Yang alighted and walked toward He Feng.

He Feng waved him over and said, "Comrade Ji Yang, the officials are all in the meeting room. We’ll go now to announce the committee’s appointment."

Ji Yang naturally replied with an affirmative.

At this moment, Bao Geishan merely gave Ji Yang a slight nod and said, "Minister He, I’ll lead the way."

Now it was evident—all the leaders had converged around Bao Geishan, leaving Ji Yang still isolated.

He Feng also noticed the situation, frowned slightly, but said nothing, simply walking beside Ji Yang.

This He Feng wasn’t too bad after all!

Ji Yang observed everything without a word.

The opposition had put on this display, intentionally making things difficult for the newcomer.
