Although Chu Shuyuan had shared some of her opinions, Ji Yang didn’t really want to do as she had suggested.
His life was already going rather well, and the most trouble he experienced was some annoyance when people lodged complaints, which didn’t actually present any problem to him. If the higher-ups truly intended to promote him, they would definitely conduct a comprehensive investigation.
Therefore, Ji Yang planned to take a bit of advice from Chu Shuyuan, which was to actively explain his income situation to the disciplinary committee whenever he went somewhere. Then, during their investigation, they would naturally become aware of the matter and focus their inquiry accordingly.
Ji Yang was no saint; he wasn’t about to hand over all of his interests, and furthermore, he had decided that from now on, he would not partake in any other money-making schemes. Instead, he would invest that money in the stock market, and it wouldn’t matter if he lost it.
After thinking things through, Ji Yang suddenly felt as if a bright future was unfolding before him.
Upon returning to the township, Ji Yang deliberately made his rounds.
"Chief Ji, you’re back?"
Upon seeing Ji Yang, the Executive Deputy Chief, Le Jianjun, asked.
Looking at him, Ji Yang knew Le was concerned about his visit to the disciplinary committee, likely curious about it, and he smiled, saying, "Didn’t I mention my income details last time? The comrades at the disciplinary committee probably weren’t clear on it. Someone lodged a complaint, and I just went to clarify things. There’s no problem at all."
"Are they going to investigate?"
"Of course, they will look into it a bit."
At that moment, a group of people who had caught wind of the news gathered around, all appearing quite concerned and even showing a certain anger towards the complainant.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Ji Yang smiled and said, "It seems my wealth can no longer be kept a secret. Now that I have money, there is no need for me to engage in corruption, which should put the organization at ease."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Feng Jing laughed, "Chief Ji isn’t married yet, right? If everyone knew how young and successful you are, and how wealthy, they’d probably be falling over themselves to chase after you!"
"Indeed, Chief Ji, what kind of qualities are you looking for in a girlfriend?" Qiu Shujuan also asked.
Ji Yang laughed, "I haven’t given it much thought just yet."
"How can that be? Whether or not one has a family is also a standard to test a cadre. Chief Ji, you still need to consider this matter. Ladies, if you know someone suitable, you should introduce her to our Chief Ji," Xun Liqiang said earnestly to everyone. Fresh chapters posted on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Secretary Xun, we have beauties right here, why let us introduce someone else?" Liang Xiaoyu spoke in a coy voice.
"It seems Comrade Liang Xiaoyu has some ideas, too bad you are already married," Zhou Shan laughed.
"As long as Chief Ji is willing, I’d immediately get a divorce and marry him," Liang Xiaoyu said with a laugh.
After laughing, she pointed at Feng Jing, "Little Feng, Chief Ji is a stock with potential, miss this village and there’ll be no more shops."
Seeing them tease him, Ji Yang laughed, "That’s enough, the whole township is probably spreading rumors about me by now, we can’t be causing more chaos."
"Indeed, there are rumors going around; some people just complain about anything and even do so anonymously. We used to not pay attention to anonymous reports, but now we seriously investigate even anonymous ones. Mr. Ji Yang, you must be clear about your financial situation, you don’t want to give anyone something to hold over you," Xun Liqiang said gravely.
Ji Yang replied earnestly too, "The innocent have nothing to hide; I’m not afraid of an investigation. Now that I’ve looked over the stock market situation, it has indeed reached sixty million."
Everyone’s gaze fell upon Ji Yang; they were somewhat envious of his considerable wealth.
Seeing that no one continued to talk about this matter, Ji Yang knew it was resolved.
Of course, Ji Yang also noticed the gaze of several women had truly changed; although they were leaders in the township, they might not necessarily be wealthy. So, indeed, he could attract them.
"Chief Ji, you’re now a wealthy man in our area, what do you say to treating us to dinner tonight?" Feng Jing asked with a smile.
Looking at Feng Jing, with her long legs accentuated even in a pair of pants Ji Yang didn’t understand, her figure was still very much showcased.
