“What do you an ‘what’s going on’?”
“Did you find a sister-in-law for ?”
At this remark, both their parents looked over.
Li Shujuan said, “Your sister asked a good question.
You’re not getting any younger.
Do you have a girlfriend yet?”
Ji Yang replied, “What are you talking about?
How old am I?”
His sister laughed and said, “Aren’t you going to say you’re in the middle of climbing the career ladder and not considering this yet, haha.” She laughed as she spoke.
Ji Yang patted her on the head and said, “Stop being silly.”
“Yang, your sister is right, it’s ti to find soone.
There are quite a few families in our area with daughters, I’ll introduce you to one when I find the ti.”
“I really don’t have ti right now.”
Their father, Ji Dacai, said, “You’re just a minor official, how busy can you be?
It’d be good enough if soone takes a liking to you.”
“I’m not just a minor official anymore, I’m now the deputy head of Qingyuan Village.”
“What?”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Ji Yang.
Ji Dacai said, “Are you serious?”
His sister also widened her eyes and said, “Brother, you can’t be fooling us.
I’ve looked into how officials get promoted, and you’ve only been working for two years.
How could you possibly beco a deputy village head?”
Li Shujuan also chid in, “Yeah, if you’re not happy, then just quit.”
Ji Yang was prepared and took a docunt out of his bag and said, “Take a look, this is a photocopy of the appointnt docunt, just in case you don’t believe .”
When everyone looked at it, sure enough, they saw that Ji Yang was appointed as the deputy village head.
“Bro, you’re aweso to get promoted so quickly!”
Ji Dacai and Li Shujuan were clearly excited too; their son becoming a deputy village head was sothing they hadn’t even dared to dream of.
Seeing their joyful expressions, Ji Yang also felt good.
It’s nice to have monts like this.
“Son, it’s a joyful day.
Have a few more drinks with your dad.”
Ji Yang replied, “Don’t talk about this outside, just keep it among us.”
“How could we not talk about it?
We need to show them what my son is capable of.
Pfft, they said you were sent to the village and wouldn’t have any prospects!”
Ji Yang frowned slightly, knowing that so people just can’t stand to see others doing well.
Ji Dacai said, “Let’s eat.
You’re right son; we better not talk about this too much outside.
People out there don’t have our best interests at heart.”
While everyone was eating, Ji Yang’s phone rang.
It was a call from Huang Yu.
“Ji Yang, you need to co back to the village quickly, things have blown up.”
“What happened?”
“There’s been an incident that’s escalated to the higher-ups.
A working group has co to investigate.
They’ve found so connection with Yan Xingshun.
He Chengjun has been suspended because of what happened, and Yan Xingshun is also under scrutiny, also suspended.
I’m overseeing the operations now.
Secretary Zhao of the County Party Committee has called to say he’s coming to the village, and you really should show up.”
“Alright, I can only co by tomorrow; I don’t have a car now.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, everyone looked at Ji Yang.
“Bro, did I hear a woman on the other end?” Ji Mingying asked with a smile.
Hearing a woman had called, Li Shujuan also looked at Ji Yang.
“What are you thinking?
It was Deputy Secretary Huang Yu who called.
There’s trouble in the village, and she wants to rush back.”
“What happened?”
Ji Yang summarized the situation.
Since it was just family, he treated it like a story.
“This…”
Hearing it was such a matter, everyone was stunned.
Ji Yang smiled and said, “If it hadn’t been for those incidents in our village, I wouldn’t have beco the deputy head.
Just keep this to yourselves.
I can’t go back tonight, only tomorrow after buying a train ticket.”
“Bro, it’s funny that you, as a leader, still need to buy train tickets when you travel.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
Ji Yang casually remarked.
Ji Dacai said, “Since sothing has happened in the village, it’s not good for you as the deputy head not to rush back.
Let’s spend so money and get you a taxi back.
It’s about showing the right attitude.”
“It’s fine, I understand the situation.
Rushing back now won’t make any difference; they’ll handle things.”
Ji Yang had already decided not to go back too soon; after all, as far as he was concerned, being away was part of his official duties, and he wasn’t keen on getting involved in those issues.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“What could go wrong?
Don’t worry.”
After a mont of hesitation, Ji Dacai said, “How about we take so money from our savings, and you buy a car?”
Ji Yang knew there wasn’t much money at ho, and his father’s willingness to spend money to help him buy a car ant he was determined.
“Dad, there’s no need, I have money.”
“We shouldn’t engage in any corrupt acts.”
“It’s fine, I actually made so money while working…” Ji Yang briefly explained how he had made so money.
“Are you sure there’s no issue with that?”
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem.
Next, I’ll use mom’s ID to do so things, and it’ll be even safer.”
Ji Dacai said, “Just be careful, and don’t run into any trouble.”
Ji Yang naturally agreed again.
He had thought of buying a car imdiately, but with the events unfolding in the village, he felt it was best to delay any actions that might hinder his career growth.
After dinner, Ji Yang went out alone.
There were actually a few classmates he got along well with around, and he wanted to see what they were up to.
