The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 185 Uncle Ge, I’m going to Qingshan Town!

Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Uncle Ge, I’m going to Qingshan Town!

Xu Qianli had just left the County Government Building when Ge Changhong’s call came through, inquiring about the specifics.

After a brief chat, Xu Qianli headed directly to the County Committee to discuss matters face-to-face with Ge Changhong.

Upon reaching Ge Changhong’s office, Ge said, "Xu, I don’t want to meddle in your dispute with County Magistrate Lan or comment too much on her character. The most pressing matter is, do you have any plans for the future?"

"Uncle Ge, what do you think about my moving to develop in Qingshan Town?"

Xu Qianli directly addressed his thoughts.

Upon hearing Xu Qianli’s idea, Ge Changhong immediately gave him an approving look.

"I was worried that after the pressures from Zhang Kuisan and Lan Qianrong, you might not recover."

"Now it seems, your mindset is much better than I expected."

"Given your current situation, going to the townships below for training might not be a bad thing, but Qingshan Town is a bit complicated. Are you sure you want to go to Qingshan Town?"

Ge Changhong expressed his support for Xu Qianli’s idea of going to the townships below.

However, in his heart, Qingshan Town was not a good choice.

Be aware that Qingshan Town is the poorest and most backward township in Jiang City, infamous for its impoverished mountains and difficult waters, dominated by Li Zhu’s people.

Although Li Zhu had been double-regulated, he had been deeply rooted in Qingshan Town for twenty years, leaving behind a formidable foundation that was not easy to deal with.

Xu Qianli could have chosen any other place, but he peculiarly chose Qingshan Town, which didn’t seem to be the best option.

After a pause, Ge Changhong continued, "Next year is the year for official replacements. There will be changes in several townships below. Why don’t you wait a while? Even if I step down then, arranging a good township for you won’t be a problem at all. You know, a good starting point can lead to greater achievements. For now, maybe you should just hang around in some county bureau to transition."

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Ge, but I can’t wait that long."

"Although Qingshan Town is complex and impoverished, it may actually be a good opportunity for me."

"Going to a township with better conditions might indeed lead to easier achievements, but if I can make a difference in Qingshan Town, wouldn’t that be even more impressive?"

"What’s more important is that I’ve already seen the great development potential in Qingshan Town."

"This time, my decision to go to Qingshan Town is not impulsive, but after thorough consideration, and I am confident that after going there, I can achieve remarkable results that will make people take notice."

Xu Qianli was adamant about going to Qingshan Town.

Right now, he wanted to work in a township, and besides the vacancy for the Party Secretary of Qingshan Town, there were no suitable positions waiting for him in other townships.

Rather than idly hanging around in some county bureau for a year or so, it would be better to take a chance and make a big impact in Qingshan Town.

As for dealing with the leftovers from Li Zhu in Qingshan Town, Xu Qianli had his own methods.

There was another factor Xu Qianli did not mention.

Although Ge Changhong had just promised that even after he stepped down next year, his influence would be enough to facilitate Xu Qianli’s development in a township, who could know exactly how the situation would turn out or what changes might occur?

Given the current situation, it was very likely that Lan Qianrong would succeed Ge Changhong.

Once Lan Qianrong became the County Party Secretary, just having taken up a new post in a township without his own team or foundation, he probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to achieve significant results.

After much consideration, Xu Qianli believed that going to Qingshan Town now was his best option.

Seeing Xu Qianli’s determination, Ge Changhong did not try to persuade him otherwise and agreed to proceed with the arrangements.

Such a significant matter couldn’t be decided by him alone, it must be submitted to the standing committee for deliberation and voting.

Although Lan Qianrong was in charge of the County Government, she couldn’t reach into the County Committee and the Organization Department. As long as nothing unexpected happened, Xu Qianli taking up his post in Qingshan Town wouldn’t be difficult.

Ge Changhong also knew that his term was only one year left, and he would retire next year. This could be the last chance to promote Xu Qianli.

No matter what, the matter must be handled properly.

However, once Xu Qianli arrived in Qingshan Town, there were numerous things Ge Changhong instructed him to be wary of. He even mentioned two people that Xu Qianli could seek help from should he encounter any difficulties there.

Xu Qianli also knew that having connections in the central government made things easier, regretting only that the old County Magistrate had passed away unexpectedly and Ge Changhong would retire next year.

Now there were still people who could shield him from the storm, but by next year, he would have to rely on himself.

With Lan Qianrong’s merciless and ruthless methods, once she became the County Party Secretary next year, she would undoubtedly exert her full force to suppress him.

His assignment to Qingshan Town and the time until next year’s session renewal was especially precious. He must strive to achieve remarkable results to make Lan Qianrong think twice before causing him trouble.

Of course, this was also to prepare himself for a powerful return to the county from the township.

No matter what, he must achieve significant results in Qingshan Town.

Xu Qianli and Ge Changhong talked for a long time. By noon, it was already lunchtime.

Refusing Ge Changhong’s invitation to dine at the County Committee’s cafeteria, Xu Qianli specifically went to a place... the White Cloud Tea House.

Upon arriving, Xu Qianli greeted the pretty and charming manager with, "Still the same woman as last time," and then headed to the private room.

After waiting for over half an hour, a graceful figure entered the room—it was none other than Liang Yueru.

Today, Liang Yueru wasn’t dressed in the tea artist’s cheongsam. She wore casual clothing, jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, and sported a sun hat and sneakers.

Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, Liang Yueru plopped down into Xu Qianli’s arms, smiling sweetly at him and speaking in a coquettish manner.

"It’s only been a few days, yet you rush here to bully me?"

"What, got a taste and can’t get enough?"

"Am I really that delicious?"

Xu Qianli said, "Ms. Liang, stop teasing me for now. I have a question for you. Are you on good terms with Lan Qianrong?"

"You guessed that?"

Liang Yueru stopped joking and seriously said, "Yes, I’ve known her for many years, and we’ve always been on good terms. After she came to Jiang City, I haven’t had much contact with her. How did you know?"

Xu Qianli said, "Didn’t you once come to me, saying you’d help a friend come and test me? Now that I think about it, that friend must have been her."

Liang Yueru looked at Xu Qianli and playfully shook his neck.

"Xu Qianli, I know what she did to you today."

"But she is her, and I am me. I hope you don’t let her affect our relationship."

Xu Qianli lifted Liang Yueru’s pretty face.

"I have my own standards. My attitude towards you depends on your attitude towards me, and it won’t be influenced by Lan Qianrong."

"Today I came to ask you to relay a few words to her."

"I, Xu Qianli, have never owed her anything. Since things have reached this point, I won’t be polite. From now on, let’s see the truth under our hands!"
