Chapter 344: Chapter 344 Mo Chengguo’s Thoughts

Mo Chengguo sipped his tea before speaking, "Chunshui County has always been an impenetrable place. It’s very difficult for outsiders to enter. Some people want to take advantage of this incident to get into Chunshui County. If we let them in, we will lose control here."

Everyone understood this reasoning and nodded silently.

Mo Chengguo continued, "The situation remains the same. Don’t be deceived by the troubles some people are facing. Outsiders still can’t establish a foothold here. As long as we prevent them from doing so, they can’t truly grasp what’s going on here."

"Secretary Mo, just tell us what to do." These people were all obedient, naturally ready to follow Mo Chengguo’s instructions.

Mo Chengguo looked around, quite pleased internally. Although these people had always listened to Bao Geishan, in fact, many had belonged to his own faction for a long time, and it seemed they were ready to listen to him now.

After Bao Geishan’s incident, although there was some panic, Mo Chengguo was actually pleased. Without Bao Geishan, he would become the leader, and the whole Chunshui County would come into his hands.

Now, both sides of power in Chunshui County had encountered problems, particularly after this incident, and the higher-ups were implicated too. So, as long as he stabilized the situation, his chances of becoming the top leader had greatly increased.

For Chunshui County, Mo Chengguo was determined to take control. However, there was one person in his way, the new County Chief Ji Yang.

Ji Yang was an outsider, a wedge driven into their midst. If Ji Yang were allowed to establish himself here, sooner or later, the area would be completely controlled by external forces, which Mo could never accept.

After all, Mo Chengguo was a native, intent on developing his power here and controlling the area without any thoughts of transferring elsewhere.

These past days, he had been contemplating the situation here. The best method was to follow the old ways, preventing external officials from lasting long.

"Secretary Mo, do you mean to drive Ji Yang out?" a cadre asked.

Mo Chengguo said, "What are you talking about? Not driving him out, we are to create a good working environment for the new county chief, allowing him to work well here."

"Secretary Mo, we’ve tried, but unfortunately, it didn’t work."

"Yes, he doesn’t want a beautiful secretary, nor a beautiful maid; who knows what’s up with him, maybe he’s impotent?"

Everyone laughed.

The atmosphere lightened considerably.

Mo Chengguo said, "What are you talking about? That just means we didn’t satisfy County Chief Ji, indicating there are still issues with our work. Right, although the county chief no longer needs a maid, we still need to assign some people from the guesthouse to help tidy up his place. Also, it’s right for him to choose his own secretary. Since that’s the case, how can a single secretary perform his duties well? I think we can make a major adjustment at the government office."

"Secretary Mo is right. We can transfer some comrades from the government office and replace them with some beautiful female comrades. Moreover, our female cadres should report more to the new county chief. I suggest that when the cadres report, they also ask the new county chief for more guidance on their work."

Everyone laughed again, thinking if beauties surrounded Ji Yang, the situation might truly change; who knows, while guiding, those beauties might lead Ji Yang to the bed.

For everyone, what was needed now was leverage. As long as they had leverage, they could magnify it endlessly. By then, even if Ji Yang had explanations, he would find it difficult to articulate.

Just then, someone said, "Actually, we don’t need to bother so much. As long as all involved are our people, even if he had something to say, he wouldn’t be able to clarify. Just put some stuff related to him online and have our people testify, what could he do then?"

Everyone started to seriously consider this method, acknowledging its feasibility. With the county staffed by their own people, by designing a situation where everyone testified against Ji Yang, even if there were no issues, there would appear to be.

Mo Chengguo thought for a while, somewhat agreeing, but upon further consideration, he realized it would be difficult to execute.

"If there weren’t so many incidents in the county, we might truly be able to do that, but have you considered whether the higher authorities might have sent people secretly? If their people were here, wouldn’t they know our methods?"

"Nowadays, with advanced networking, as long as we have material, why fear the public won’t accept it?"

Mo Chengguo sighed, "Everyone knows the situation in the county. If another county chief is compromised, do you think the higher-ups won’t get angry and possibly make a significant adjustment here? And if we all leave, many secrets here might get leaked. Consider the consequences."

Immediately, many faces changed; they knew their own issues. In this county, there were many things outsiders shouldn’t learn. If those were leaked, the consequences would be unbearable for them.

Mo Chengguo said, "Our best course of action is to catch Ji Yang’s shortcomings, then keep him under our control. As long as he becomes one of us, many issues can be suppressed. So, setting him up is necessary, but we don’t necessarily have to ruin him."

Everyone silently nodded, finding Mo Chengguo’s approach most prudent.

"However," someone remarked, "it’s clear that Ji Yang has high standards. Even Liu Piaoxue couldn’t win him over; what sort of person could then?"

"It’s not that Liu Piaoxue couldn’t win him over, rather he was on guard. Think about it, sending such a beauty to be his secretary and he wasn’t suspicious would be weird. I think changing the strategy, letting Liu Piaoxue become the deputy director of the government office, and having her appear before Ji Yang now and then might yield a different result."

Everyone then seriously analyzed the situation.
