318: Chapter 318 How Did He Beco the County Mayor?
Ji Yang had always been preoccupied with work, seldom returning ho, and even phone calls were rare.
Looking at that old neighborhood, Ji Yang realized that he had indeed neglected his family.
When the car stopped downstairs, and Ji Yang got out, he saw so familiar faces, all acquaintances of his parents.
Everyone also saw Ji Yang’s return, and soone asked, “Is Ji coming ho?”
They knew that Ji Yang had been promoted, but they only had a vague idea that he had beco a deputy head of the village or sothing.
They were filled with curiosity about Ji Yang.
At that mont, Ji Yang’s mother, Li Shujuan, ca over quickly, chiding, “You child, not even a call when you co back?”
Though she spoke in rebuke, the smile on her face revealed her very good mood.
Among the many children from the neighborhood, they mostly talked about how her own son had gotten a promotion.
“Isn’t it a surprise for you?” Ji Yang said with a smile.
“What has brought you back this ti?
Weren’t you supposed to be furthering your studies?”
“There has been so change in plans.”
Li Shujuan grew worried and asked, “What kind of change?”
Everyone gathered around, having heard the conversation, their expressions complicated.
It was in everyone’s nature to wish ill on the success of others’ children.
Seeing the look on his mother’s face and the changing expressions of everyone else, Ji Yang felt amused and thought, they really can’t bear to see others do well, always hoping for others to fail.
Li Shujuan, looking anxious, turned her gaze to her son.
Ever since he had been promoted, they had found it difficult to understand him.
“It’s nothing major.
The leadership in South Dian is lacking, and the organization has spoken to about it.
They want to take the position of county head there.”
“County head!”
Everyone was astonished, for it was a position they saw as very important.
“Ji, you can’t be joking.
You’re so young; by the normal procedures of promotion, it would be unlikely your turn,” an old man who used to be the manager of the distillery interjected.
“Yes, by my age, one would expect it to take a long ti if we were going by seniority,” Ji Yang responded.
“However, the transfer order ca from the Capital City, and the provincial committee is also aware.
There’s nothing I can do.”
Everyone fell silent, including the forr distillery manager.
It was understood that the promotion had not followed the usual procedure but was instead sothing special.
Li Shujuan was shocked, “You’ve really beco a county head?”
Ji Yang certainly wouldn’t ntion the dangers involved with the new position.
Smiling, he said, “Yes, the organization has sent to work there, so I ca ho to spend a day.
I have to leave tomorrow.”
Li Shujuan said loudly, “Let’s go, hurry ho.
I’ll make you sothing delicious.”
Li Shujuan now felt her backbone straightening much more.
Her son was incredibly impressive, having achieved what others could not in their lifetis.
Back at ho, of course, his father and little sister asked him about all sort of things.
Ji Yang shared so details about his situation with everyone.
Li Shujuan quickly brought out the dishes.
Ji Yang’s father, Ji Dacai, after having a drink, sighed, “Last ti we went to Qingyuan Village to buy a house, you were just a deputy head of the village.
Suddenly, you’ve beco a county head, as if it’s all a dream.”
“Exactly, it feels like a dream to too.”
His little sister, Ji Mingying, laughed, “My brother is so capable.
In such a short ti, he’s accomplished so much and even got promoted.”
The sudden appearance of a county head in the family marked a trendous change for the whole household.
“Mom and dad, you now have money.
Buy property in the city quickly.
The developnt of that area over the moat will be rapid.”
Ji Yang talked about the rice wine business.
He even took out a few jars of Wu Mi’s rice wine for them to drink, instructing them to enjoy it privately without telling outsiders.
Ji Yang had brought back this drink for them before, having never ntioned its various benefits.
Now that the whole county knew about it, everyone recognized the value of the drink.
“This is sothing that’s worth millions per jar!” Li Shujuan was initially unwilling to drink it.
“Drink up; it’s not for sale anymore, and it’s good for your health.”
The little sister also laughed, “I heard it’s great for the skin if used in a bath.”
“You silly girl, to think of using wine worth millions to take a bath!”
Watching his family laughing and joking, Ji Yang’s mood was uplifted.
