The Ambitions to Conquer the Official Career
Chapter 26 - 26 26 Joining the Team

26: Chapter 26: Joining the Team 26: Chapter 26: Joining the Team “Ji, come here for a moment.”

In the office, as he was dealing with his work, Chu Shuyuan walked over to the door and spoke to Ji Yang.

“Okay.” Ji Yang immediately stood up.

The people from the office of Party and government affairs had grown accustomed to Chu Shuyuan occasionally standing at the door, calling Ji Yang over.

Miao Xiaoying and Chen Yongwei were especially pleased to see this.

Having become Ji Yang’s people, they were now effectively aligned with Secretary Chu’s faction, and could already see their own futures unfolding.

Wu Guoping was the most sullen among them, currently saying nothing, but it was evident to everyone that he wasn’t particularly invested in Ji Yang’s affairs.

He couldn’t quite adjust to the new situation and Ji Yang hardly tasked him with anything significant, relegating him to essentially the coldest bench in the office of Party and government affairs.

As for the woman, Liu Yun, Ji Yang hadn’t assigned her any substantial tasks either.

She didn’t show any particular emotion, just seemed to space out occasionally.

When he entered Chu Shuyuan’s office, it was clear that she was in an exceptionally good mood today.

“Sit.”

After Ji Yang sat down, Chu Shuyuan said, “This matter is essentially over now.”

“Haven’t I heard it involved a lot of people?” Recently, Ji Yang’s interactions with Chu Shuyuan had increased, and he felt much more at ease.

Chu Shuyuan, sitting opposite Ji Yang with a teacup in her hands, took a sip before responding, “Some issues only need to be dealt with up to a certain extent.”

Ji Yang understood—dragging it out further would likely implicate more individuals, something nobody wanted to see.

That’s just how officialdom works.

If they continued to delve into the affairs of Lu Shijie and his associates, it was expected that even more names would surface, perhaps even some unrelated to this incident, making things considerably more difficult to manage.

Seeing that Ji Yang understood, Chu Shuyuan smiled gently.

She was witnessing Ji Yang’s growth; in such a short period, he had rapidly matured.

Chu Shuyuan was surprised by his pace of development and found that Ji Yang, with his flexibility and strong capabilities, was perhaps even more suited to the bureaucratic world than herself.

This young man was truly a valuable ally.

And truth be told, she was stunningly beautiful.

Her smile momentarily mesmerized Ji Yang.

At this moment, Ji Yang was distracted by her smile, and it brought back memories of that night.

Chu Shuyuan could clearly see the expression on Ji Yang’s face and her smile broadened.

She, too, was fond of men, especially ones like Ji Yang, whom she could captivate.

In his eyes, she saw an admiration that thrilled her.

Working with Ji Yang, she had realized that besides being impressive at that particular activity, his work capabilities were exceptionally strong, providing her considerable help.

His look of admiration added to her joy.

“A few deputy positions in the county have been implicated in this matter as well.”

Hearing this, Ji Yang thought of the phone call from Qian Huifang the day before.

In the call, Qian Huifang mentioned an issue about Qian Yongping’s mentor, Deputy County Magistrate Li, being implicated and double-fired, leaving Qian Yongping quite distressed.

A secretary relies on their leader, and with his leader in trouble, it was as if Qian Yongping was too.

Whether he was implicated was yet to be determined.

Zhang Yongcheng also had some issues, and it seemed likely he would be stepping down.

For Qian Yongping, it was a question of how deeply he was involved—a concern for all the sisters of the Qian Family.

Seeing that Ji Yang did not interrupt and listened attentively, Chu Shuyuan felt even more impressed by him.

In terms of political capability, she might not match this man.

Looking at Ji Yang, for some reason, Chu Shuyuan thought of their shared incident, especially that powerful impact, and her heart fluttered.

Taking another sip of tea, Chu Shuyuan said, “I might be going to work in the county.”

“As a deputy magistrate?” Ji Yang’s eyes lit up.

“I might work in the Discipline Inspection Committee.”

This woman must have quite the background, he thought, uncertain of the exact reason for her move.

“That’s fantastic.”

Ji Yang was genuinely happy for her.

She hadn’t been in the township for long before being transferred.

“This time it’s also because of you that I achieved such a remarkable performance, unearthing such a large faction.

The higher-ups believe I’m more suited for the work in the Discipline Inspection Committee.”

“Of course, the achievement this time is significant.”

Smiling, Chu Shuyuan asked, “Aren’t you worried about having a hard time here after I leave?”

“I trust that Miss Chu would not forget me.”

This time, Ji Yang referred to her as miss, not secretary, another step in deepening their relationship.

Chu Shuyuan chuckled, “You smooth-talker.”

Ji Yang glanced towards a certain part of her, wondering inwardly what exactly she meant by ‘smooth-talker’!

Chu Shuyuan’s expression turned serious, “The higher-ups asked me to recommend some members for the team.

I think you’re very capable in many respects.

As the office director, you should join the team and become a member.”

Ji Yang’s eyes lit up—joining the team meant becoming a member of the township Party committee, which carried more authority than a simple office director.

“Your main issue is lack of experience, and the paperwork for your position as office director hasn’t been officially issued.

So, for now, you’ll just get your feet wet, and when the opportunity comes, we’ll promote you.”

“Thank you, Miss Chu.”

“Right, I have high hopes for you.”

Ji Yang’s heart swelled with excitement.
