Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

After ending the call with his girlfriend, Chen Wangyang quickly packed his lunch, returned to Office 102, lay down on the table and took a morning break.

Of course he set the alarm clock and woke up on time when there were still 10 minutes before work time in the afternoon.

After washing his face and refreshing himself, Chen Wangyang came to his desk outside Ye Siqi's office and started his afternoon work.

After almost seven or eight minutes, Ye Siqi walked into the office.

Chen Wangyang, who was sorting documents on the computer, quickly stood up and said hello:

"Good afternoon, Secretary Ye!"

Ye Siqi glanced at the energetic Chen Wangyang with some surprise, nodded and said:

"Good afternoon, why are you here so early? Didn't you take a lunch break at noon?"

Chen Wangyang answered truthfully:

"I'm on leave. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find anyone if something happened, so I came here in advance."

Ye Siqi nodded with satisfaction and said:

"The work attitude is good, but you must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. You can do your work, I will go in first."

"Okay Secretary Ye!"

Not long after Ye Siqi entered the office inside, there was a knock on the door of 101:

"Hello, I am Zhang Xiangkun, the party secretary of Daqu Town. Can I come in now?"

Chen Wangyang cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Please come in!"

As soon as Chen Wangyang finished speaking, Zhang Xiangkun, the party secretary of Daqu Town, pushed open the door and entered with a smile on his face and stretched out his hands to Chen Wangyang who had just stood up:

"You are Secretary Ye's new secretary, Comrade Chen Wangyang, the great hero of our county, right? Zhang Xiangkun has admired your name for a long time. When I meet you today, you are indeed the best among young and promising people!"

This meant that he and Chen Wangyang were the only ones here now. If other township leaders were present, he would be embarrassed to be so explicit.

Although he knew that Zhang Xiangkun was flattering him, he still reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man. Chen Wangyang also stretched out his hands to shake Zhang Xiangkun's hand and smiled politely:

"Secretary Zhang, thank you for your praise. I am just a fledgling young student. If I have any shortcomings in my future work, please forgive me and give me some advice, Secretary Zhang!"

Zhang Xiangkun, who is almost 50 years old, smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face:

"Secretary Chen, you are too humble. Is Secretary Ye here? I came to report to Secretary Ye today."

Chen Wangyang did not let Zhang Xiangkun in immediately:

"Secretary Ye has just arrived a few minutes ago, and the chair is not yet warm! If you don't mind, take a rest on the sofa over there. I will call you when Secretary Ye speaks later!"

"I don't mind, I don't mind, I should!"

Although Zhang Xiangkun's administrative level was much higher than that of Chen Wangyang, he behaved like a subordinate in front of Chen Wangyang. After Chen Wangyang's words, he sat aside obediently and waited.

Of course, Chen Wangyang would not really treat others as subordinates. After Zhang Xiangkun sat down, Chen Wangyang quickly got up and made Zhang Xiangkun a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Xiangkun:

"Secretary Zhang, please drink some tea first."

"Thank you Secretary Chen!"

Zhang Xiangkun made a flattered expression. While thanking him, he took out a thick envelope from his briefcase and was about to stuff it into Chen Wangyang's hand:

"This is a little kindness from our Daqu Town Party Committee to Secretary Chen. I hope Secretary Chen will accept it!"

Judging from the thickness of this envelope, it is estimated that there is 2000 yuan in it, which is equivalent to Chen Wangyang's two or three months' salary.

This made Chen Wangyang sigh with emotion:

Even though I am just a little secretary, no wonder so many people are trying to get into the system...

Feeling emotional, Chen Wangyang decisively pushed the envelope back and whispered with a serious face:

"Secretary Zhang, I accept your offer, but I can't accept it. You should take it back!"

Chen Wangyang's performance made Zhang Xiangkun a little overwhelmed. Just when he was about to give in again, the knock on the door rang again:

"Hello, I am Sun Qingshan, the mayor of Qingyun Town. Can you come in now?"

Zhang Xiangkun was stunned for a moment, then quickly stuffed the envelope back into his briefcase, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and drank tea calmly.

When Chen Wangyang heard that the person knocking on the door was the annoying Sun Qingshan, although Chen Wangyang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still said politely:

"Please come in!"

Sun Qingshan, who has a leadership style, pushed open the door and saw Chen Wangyang, whom he had met once before.

The next second, Sun Qingshan greeted Chen Wangyang enthusiastically:

"Ah! Isn't this Comrade Chen Wangyang, the great hero who saved forty children in our Qingyun Town? On behalf of the Qingyun Town Party Committee, the government and the broad masses of the people, I would like to express my high respect and gratitude to you!"

While talking, Sun Qingshan grabbed Chen Wangyang's hand with both hands and shook it vigorously up and down. The "sincere" smile on his face made Chen Wangyang feel in a trance for a moment:

Is the Sun Qingshan in front of him really the same person as the Sun Qingshan who used to yin and yang in front of Zhong Joey?

Seeing that Chen Wangyang did not respond to his intention, Sun Qingshan's eyes became filled with a hint of gloom.

After glancing at Zhang Xiangkun who was eavesdropping with his peripheral vision, Sun Qingshan lowered his voice:

"Secretary Chen, it was me who was ignorant of the truth, and I verbally contradicted you. You have a lot of knowledge, please don't be as knowledgeable as me!"

Chen Wangyang was disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he said politely but distantly:

"Mayor Sun, what you said is that you are a leading cadre and I am just a little secretary. I can't bear your behavior. Sit down and I will call you when it's your turn!"

The previous conflicts, coupled with the various chaos in Qingyun Town, made Chen Wangyang instinctively feel that there must be something wrong with this Sun Qingshan, and naturally he was not in the mood to compromise with him.

Although the officialdom is a place where everyone carries a sedan chair, for some people, it is still necessary to draw a clear line between them.

Moreover, Chen Wangyang is a person who must avenge himself:

Didn’t you, Sun Qingshan, look down on my Yin Yang me before?Now I'm yin and yang, you can't go too far, right?

This is called the wind and water changing, brother!

Chen Wangyang's words of praise and understatement made the anger in Sun Qingshan's heart surge.

However, Chen Wangyang is no longer the low-level policeman who can be suppressed and belittled by him at will. No matter how angry Sun Qingshan is, he can only be incompetent and furious, unable to do anything to others.

Thinking of this, Sun Qingshan smiled, awkwardly let go of Chen Wangyang's hand, and sat down beside Zhang Xiangkun.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, Sun Qingshan exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Xiangkun:

"Secretary Zhang, long time no see!"

The aging Zhang Xiangkun saw Chen Wangyang's attitude towards Sun Qingshan and knew that this Sun Qingshan must be Secretary Chen, who had sinned before.

As the saying goes, if you compare people, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away.

This comparison made Zhang Xiangkun, who was originally a little depressed because Chen Wangyang refused to accept money, suddenly feel much better. He rolled his eyes and said something that almost made Sun Qingshan vomit blood:

"Hello, Mayor Sun, I just heard that your lover had an accident. Please show your condolences and take care of yourself. The people of Qingyun Town cannot do without your leadership!"
