Chapter Fifty-Four: Transferred to Provincial Office

  Thanks for the rewards from 'Less nonsense', 'Ant CEO' and 'Lonely Bamboo Rain Sword'! Please collect! Please recommend! Thanks everyone!

  Zhang Daxian did not expect that Zhou Dalong, who was about to leave, would actually take the initiative to request that Yang Jie be transferred to the provincial office, which is equivalent to letting Yang Jie stay away from the official circles of Huaihe.

  It was previously thought that Zhou Dalong had Yang Jie come, wanting to take Yang Jie to the city. After all, Zhou Dalong's relationship with Yang Jie and his importance to Yang Jie were clear to everyone in the county party committee. It can be said that Liao Guojin was forced to retreat to the second line because of Yang Jie. At this time, Zhou Dalong was promoted and took Yang Jie to the city, which Zhang Dasen could also understand.

  For Yang Jie, Zhang Dasan had no good feelings at all. First, in attracting investment, he let Zhou Dalong show off his skills, and then he forced Liao Guojin, a great general under his command, to resign on his own initiative. Looking at Yang Jie, Zhang Dasan felt like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, with an unbearable disgust that made him want to spit it out. Now that Zhou Dalong let Yang Jie leave Yunhe County, he naturally raised both hands in approval.

  "Secretary Gao has a broad vision, and the Provincial Office's external liaison group is led by Comrade Yang Jie. I believe that in the future, our county's investment promotion work will definitely achieve fruitful results. I agree with Secretary Gao's opinion!" Zhang Dasheng was the first to speak out, supporting Zhou Dalong's proposal.

  Luo Yuan Cheng and Lei Shu Ping were both people of Zhou Da Long's faction, letting Yang Jie go to the provincial office was even proposed by Lei Shu Ping, they naturally wouldn't oppose Zhou Da Long's proposal, seeing Zhang Da Xian hastily express agreement, they also nodded in agreement with smiles.

  Several secretaries expressed their attitudes, and the transfer of a positive stock-level cadre has become a foregone conclusion. Yang Jie, unless he is not in the system, can only follow the organizational requirements to go to the provincial office to do external liaison work.

  Zhou Dalong is going to be transferred to the city to serve as vice mayor, and currently not many people in Huahe County know about it. However, Yang Jie is one of those few people who knows that Zhou Dalong is leaving and will definitely arrange his future work well. But he never thought that Zhou Dalong would actually transfer him to the Provincial Office.

  "Comrade Xiao Yang, the Foreign Affairs Liaison Group bears the heavy responsibility of foreign affairs liaison and investment promotion. You have gone to work in the Provincial Office, County Committee Office, and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, and you also hold concurrent posts. What are your personal opinions, and what support do you need? Please feel free to speak up now!" Chen Yuan looked at Yang Jie sitting on the chair opposite him and asked formally.

  "Secretary, Director, Yang Jie resolutely obeys the organization's arrangement and goes to the new post. After that, he will definitely have a positive attitude and work hard to contribute his strength to our county's foreign affairs and investment promotion work!" Yang Jie's words were loud and clear, with a very firm attitude, which made Zhou Daliang and others look very satisfied.

  Since arms cannot twist the thigh, Secretary Zhou has already made arrangements, so Yang Jie naturally wants to take advantage of Secretary Zhou's presence to make some demands that are beneficial to him.

  "All the leaders know that foreign affairs and investment promotion work not only involve foreign businessmen, but also need to deal with compatriots from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. I am proficient in English, but not familiar with Cantonese and Minnan dialects. Therefore, I would like to ask the organization to consider the actual needs of investment promotion work and provide certain support to the external liaison group, assigning a comrade who is proficient in Cantonese and Minnan dialects and has relevant foreign affairs liaison experience to assist and support my work."

  So Zhou Dalong smiled and pointed to Yang Jie, saying: "Since Comrade Xiao Yang has brought it up, and this is indeed a realistic work requirement, then let Director Chen arrange it. What's your opinion, Mayor Zhang?"

  Zhang Dashan smiled and said, "The businessmen who are willing to invest in China are mostly from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and overseas Chinese. Yang Jie's request is reasonable, I don't see any problem."

  In front of many leaders, even if Zhang Dasheng wanted to make things difficult for Yang Jie, he couldn't do it openly. Moreover, Zhou Dalong's arrangement was clearly made for him before leaving Yunhe County, and opposing it would be directly against Zhou Dalong. Besides, Yang Jie's request was reasonable, and he couldn't find a suitable reason to oppose it.

  Chen Yuan listened to Yang Jie's words, thought for a moment, then raised his head and smiled: "Little Yang, you're setting us up! Someone who is fluent in Cantonese and Minnan dialects and has experience in foreign affairs liaison work, isn't that exactly what your Foreign Affairs Office needs? Do you want to transfer Liu Fei to the Foreign Liaison Group to assist you?"

  "Director, there are relatively few people in the county who specialize in foreign affairs. I've just started working and only know of two people in our Foreign Affairs Office, Liu Fei is fluent in Cantonese and Minnan dialect, and is responsible for liaison work with overseas Chinese and compatriots, having some external liaison experience, making her a more suitable candidate."

  Of course, if there are even better candidates in the county, I would be more than happy to have them. As long as they can bring foreign investment to the county, I wouldn't want to miss out on any useful talent." Yang Jie's words were spoken with a confident tone reminiscent of Han Xin's "the more soldiers, the better".

  Chen Yuan heard the words and smiled, looking at Yang Jie for a moment before turning to explain to Zhou Dalong and others: "Secretary, County Magistrate, the Liu Fei I mentioned earlier is currently in charge of contacting overseas Chinese and compatriots in the Foreign Affairs Office. Liu Fei's ancestral home is in Minnan, and she is fluent in Cantonese and Minnan dialect. When the Foreign Affairs Office was established, they valued her special talent and transferred her from the County Cultural Troupe to the County Party Committee."

  Zhou Dalong saw that Yang Jie had already found a suitable candidate and didn't think much, nodded and said: "Since this comrade is proficient in Cantonese and Minnan dialects and has some work experience, let's transfer her to the Provincial Office Foreign Affairs Group to assist Comrade Xiao Yang!"

  The secretary's word was final, and the county magistrate had no other opinion, so this matter was settled. Yang Jie came out of the secretary's office, still a bit dazed. Having been on the job for less than three weeks, he had made great contributions to the county and indirectly forced a standing committee member to step down. Now, Secretary Zhou had sent him to the provincial office in exile.

  This up-and-down experience is even more thrilling than a roller coaster ride. Even someone with nerves of steel like Yang Jie couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

  Chen Yuan followed Yang Jie out of the secretary's office, and the two leaders who were waiting outside and knew Yang Jie's identity gave up their idea of going forward to get close to Yang Jie. Seeing Chen Yuan calling out to Yang Jie, the two of them spoke in a low voice and quickly left. On Jiang Yi's expressionless face, a faint smile also appeared.

  It turns out that Jiang Yi is also one of Zhou Shu's trusted confidants, just like Yang Jie. Jiang Yi has been serving as Zhou Shu's secretary since he came to Xunhe County and has been following him for more than three years. Now that Zhou Daliang has been promoted, it's natural for him to forget about his secretary.

  Director Zhou has already spoken to him, before Director Zhou left Raohe County, he will be transferred to Raohe Township as the secretary. Raohe Township is Yang Jie's hometown, where Yang Xinhua has a great reputation. Since Jiang Yi went to Raohe Township, he naturally needs Yang Xinhua's support for his work, that's why he is particularly good to Yang Jie.

  "Xiao Yang, didn't you feel a bit puzzled when Secretary suddenly suggested that you go to the provincial office?" Chen Yuan called out to Yang Jie and asked with a smile after returning to her office.

  "Director, I've only been working for less than three weeks, and the work of the Foreign Affairs Office is not yet in order. How could Secretary suddenly transfer me to the Provincial Office?" Yang Jie knew that Zhou Dalong was leaving, but he couldn't understand why he would be transferred to the Provincial Office. Seeing Chen Yuan's self-righteous expression, he humbly stepped forward to ask for guidance.

  Chen Yuan liked this point about Yang Jie, who was so sharp and perceptive. Looking at Yang Jie's face, which showed a desire to learn, Chen Yuan said helplessly: "Isn't all of this because you're too sharp and prone to causing trouble? The secretary wants to protect you out of kindness and concern for you, so he thought of transferring you to the provincial office to avoid trouble."

  Yang Jie seemed to understand after hearing Chen Yuan say that, "You mean because of Liao Kai's matter?"

  "It's not just that, when Jimmy and the others were here, you brought out the Huangyang wine, which got Jamieson caught by the missus, although it didn't affect the subsequent business negotiations, but because of Jamieson's incident, it triggered a series of waves now."

  Look at the past few weeks, the secretary and us have all been wiping your butt. You are capable, can handle things, but also good at causing trouble. The principle of "a tall tree will be broken by the wind" is something you should understand without me saying it.

  You're too conspicuous in the county now, if you continue to cause trouble like this, sooner or later you'll be caught by the county head and others, at that time, even if the secretary wants to protect you, it won't be easy.

  Take advantage of the county head not daring to tear his face with the secretary for the time being, and transfer you to the provincial city office. You can play your specialty and avoid some overt and covert arrows in the county. After the situation in the county is stable, it's not too late to come back! Chen Yuan's words made Yang Jie very ashamed.

  It feels like he's a troublemaker, last week he got Jamison into the public security bureau, and this week because of a girl, Liao Secretary proactively resigned from the second line. Looking at Chen Yuan opposite him, Yang Jie nodded, "Thank you, Secretary, for your care for me, I will definitely be high-profile in doing things, low-key in being a person, and no longer trouble leaders!"
