Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Everyone’s Thoughts

Even Ji Yang hadn’t anticipated that today’s meeting would turn out this way. As soon as Dai Mingxiu made her stance clear in favor of aligning with Ji Yang, the whole atmosphere shifted.

Su Yongfang glanced at Dai Mingxiu and cursed under her breath.

Actually, the fact that they could all be here meant each had their own agenda. After learning about Ji Yang through various channels and seeing that the higher-ups were unable to handle him, they entertained their own little schemes. Aligning with Ji Yang, who possibly had a substantial backing at such a time, could very well change their lives.

They were indeed attached to some men, but they also harbored their own ambitions. Previously there was no opportunity, but now it was different; the chance might be right in front of them. Not seizing it would just be their own stupidity.

Anyway, that’s how things stood. What if Ji Yang turned out to be promising?

The sight of Ji Yang being such a handsome young man gave rise to a tinge of spring in each of them.

Even if Ji Yang bore no potential, a man like that was far too superior compared to the old men they were involved with.

Women’s thoughts are unfathomable, having come up with new ideas, they thought about aligning themselves with Ji Yang.

The moment Dai Mingxiu explicitly declared her alignment with Ji Yang, several of the women became unsettled.

Su Yongfang had initially felt quite smug, being the first to curry favor with Ji Yang, surely guaranteeing her a closer relationship with him.

However, she hadn’t anticipated Dai Mingxiu being so forthright. This surely meant that Ji Yang would regard Dai Mingxiu as his supporter.

No, this just wouldn’t do!

Su Yongfang smiled at Ji Yang and said, "I’ve heard of Secretary Ji’s abilities long ago. Just as Minister Dai said, all we need to do is follow Secretary Ji’s lead. I too want to express my stance; I will follow Secretary Ji’s lead in my work. As long as it’s an task given by Secretary Ji, I will implement it fully. After all, I’ll just listen to Secretary Ji."

As she spoke, she even gave Ji Yang a flirtatious glance.

Damn it!

Faced with her trembling gaze, Ji Yang didn’t know what to say.

Regardless, this woman, just like Dai Mingxiu, had made clear her supportive stance.

These two women had disregarded the rules of the officialdom and expressed their positions outright!

What Ji Yang was unaware of was that He Shuping was also discontented. She had already shown goodwill towards Ji Yang, wanting to signify that she was on the same side as him. Yet there, those two women, disregarding everything, immediately expressed their willingness to side with him, putting a certain distance between herself and Ji Yang.

How could this be acceptable?

Without much thought, He Shuping smiled and said, "Secretary Ji, I have already made my stance known; I will follow your command in all actions. You came to the county sooner and naturally are more familiar than any of us. I believe you also have a comprehensive plan for the development of Chunshui County. I think you can present it, and we can start the discussion immediately. I want to clarify my position now; I will abide by your commands."

Having said that, she addressed the others, "Chunshui County needs a strong leader. Only by uniting around Secretary Ji can we ensure our work is done well. I take a stance; I will support any directive from Secretary Ji."

This woman!

Several women looked at her, having discerned that she too had declared her stance alongside Ji Yang.

The others were also feeling the pressure by then.

It was clear to all; three women had outright sided with Ji Yang.

With nine members in the team, now including Ji Yang, Ji Yang already had four votes in hand—a considerable force.

At this point, Cui Xiuying also began to panic. Her original intention wasn’t to oppose Ji Yang, but only to draw his attention with a minor issue, then strike a deal with him before siding with him.

This woman had a favorable impression of Ji Yang; he was handsome, with a powerful aura. Sometimes, she would even fantasize about Ji Yang in bed, plunging into a delusion of him overpowering her, to attract Ji Yang’s attention. She had utilized Chu Zhendong and the others as a pretext, never expecting that three women would shamelessly flock to him.

How could this turn of events be acceptable?

If she didn’t take a stance now, she might unwittingly end up opposing Ji Yang.

This was definitely not something she wanted to see.

Anxious, Cui Xiuying blurted out, "What I mean is that Secretary Ji’s preliminary work has been impressive. We just need to obey and serve Secretary Ji."

As she spoke, her expression changed, sensing that her explanation might still be inappropriate—it somehow sounded provocative, and her troubled demeanor was obvious.

In her urgency, Cui Xiuying said, "Secretary Ji, what I mean to say is that I’ll fully cooperate and support your work. Whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do it!"

When she said this, her voice revealed a touch of chaos.

Do whatever I say?

Once again speechless, this woman spoke without thinking!

Everyone’s gaze had turned to Cui Xiuying.

It was evident that Cui Xiuying was not doing too well at the moment.

Ji Yang then realized that he had misunderstood; this woman didn’t intend to oppose him.

With his understanding of women, he quickly grasped her intent—she had initially wanted to use the control she had over the Public Security Department as leverage to get his attention, then negotiate some benefits with him before siding with him. She just hadn’t anticipated the situation taking an unexpected turn, forcing her to openly declare her position.

Who are all these people?

Ji Yang now saw clearly the kind of team members he had been assigned from above.

Holding five votes, Ji Yang could now be considered the absolute dominating force in the county, and no one could oppose what he wanted to do.

Ji Yang himself had not foreseen such an outcome, leaving him quite astonished.
