45: Chapter 45 Chu Shuyuan Summoned 45: Chapter 45 Chu Shuyuan Summoned Beer really wasn’t much of a challenge for Ji Yang, and despite having had quite a bit, he showed not the slightest sign of intoxication, whereas Qian Huixian did appear sowhat tipsy.
“Third sister, you can’t hold your liquor, can you?
How can soone in the political sphere have no tolerance?
If you’re not careful, you might end up in soone’s bed,” Ji Yang joked.
“Humph, lustful heart without the courage!” Qian Huixian retorted with a glare at Ji Yang.
Her remark caused her two older sisters to look at Ji Yang oddly, feeling that he was certainly not soone without courage.
Ji Yang smiled and asked, “Third sister, are you hoping I’d be bolder?”
“Yang, enough talk, our little sister is almost drunk.”
“I’m not drunk!” Qian Huixian declared loudly, picking up her glass to clink with Ji Yang’s again.
Ji Yang looked at the two won and gave a wry smile, “I’m at a loss here.”
After everyone had drunk for a while, just as Qian Huixian was insisting on having a proper drink with Ji Yang, his phone rang.
Ji Yang picked it up to see that it was a call from Chu Shuyuan.
“It’s a call from Secretary Chu,” Ji Yang announced.
Even Qian Huixian, who had been clamorous about drinking, fell silent.
After answering the call, Chu Shuyuan asked, “Where are you?”
“I’m at a food stall with so friends, having barbecue.”
“Co over here.”
“Okay.” Ji Yang definitely had to comply with Chu Shuyuan’s request, as he had risen up the ranks thanks to her.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yang looked at the three won and said, “I might not be able to continue with you all; Secretary Chu wants to drop by, probably to discuss tomorrow’s matters.”
Qian Huizhen said quickly, “Don’t worry about us; the important matters co first.”
Qian Huifang also said, “You go and take care of your things first.”
Qian Huixian pouted, “You n always have so many things going on.”
As Ji Yang stood up, Qian Huifang said, “I’ll drive you there.”
“No need, you’ve all had drinks; I’ll just take a cab.”
“Then, be careful on your way, and let’s get together again after you’re done.”
Ji Yang walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and headed to the location Chu Shuyuan had ntioned.
Chu Shuyuan didn’t stay in the official county residence but lived in a newly developed complex.
When Ji Yang arrived at the complex gate, he noted that it was well-managed; entry required questioning and registration.
The door opened quickly after he rang the bell.
“Co in and sit, get to know a few comrades here.”
Once inside and his shoes changed, he saw several people sitting.
Recognizing them, Ji Yang noted two governnt officials from the village and so others he did not know.
“Deputy Chief Ji, hello,” said Gu Xiaogui from the finance office as he stood up with a smile.
“Director Gu, hello.”
“Deputy Chief Ji, hello,” this ti it was Zhang Feng from the police station.
They weren’t leaders yet, just currently in acting charge of work, but Ji Yang hadn’t expected them to be here at Chu Shuyuan’s.
Chu Shuyuan smiled and said, “Ji, these comrades are all reliable.
You should all work closely together in the future.”
Pointing at three others, she continued, “They will be transferred to work in Qingyuan Village in the next step.”
The three quickly stood up to greet Ji Yang.
Without guessing, it was clear that aside from being Chu Shuyuan’s people, they were also individuals she wanted by her side.
In politics, loyalty could be uncertain, but now that Chu Shuyuan had beco the secretary of the discipline committee, they likely wouldn’t shift allegiance and could be regarded as resources for his own use in the future.
Chu Shuyuan was ensuring her subordinates were competent, helping to cultivate so manpower for herself.
In fact, Chu Shuyuan might have underestimated Ji Yang.
Having spent over two years in the village, Ji Yang clearly understood everyone’s capabilities and characters; needing people was not an issue for him.
Thinking this, Ji Yang had new ideas.
Maybe these people, now under Chu Shuyuan’s influence and her recent promotion, lacked a local patron.
They were likely seeking to align with him.
Regardless, since these were people recomnded by Chu Shuyuan, he naturally intended to make use of them.
“Deputy Chief Ji, please, have so tea,” a woman offered as she brought him a cup of tea.
“Thank you.”
Chu Shuyuan smiled, “You must have had quite a drink running around?”
“There are more matters tomorrow, I couldn’t drink much; just had so beer.”
Gu Xiaogui chuckled, “Deputy Chief Ji is known to be a heavy drinker in our village; a bit of beer is nothing to him.”
Ji Yang smiled, “Director Gu can hold his liquor too; we should have a good few drinks soti.”
“That will be at the leader’s call.”
The other unfamiliar people also introduced themselves in turn.
Chu Shuyuan said, “Everyone knows the situation in Qingyuan Village; there are serious issues with the cadre team.
Thus, the county committee has decided to send several competent comrades from different departnts to take positions there.”
“With you all coming, our work in Qingyuan Village will surely advance smoothly.” Ji Yang was now becoming more fluent in bureaucratic language.
They continued discussing Qingyuan Village affairs, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Seeing Chu Shuyuan in a good mood as she smiled and interacted with everyone intermittently, people acknowledged that nobody should stay too long.
As everyone started to leave and Ji Yang stood up, Chu Shuyuan said, “Ji, wait a bit longer before you go.”
Ji Yang then had no choice but to sit down again.
