After arranging everything, Ji Yang also began the handover procedures.
Only at this point did everyone realize that Ji Yang had been promoted.
The few who had been following him suddenly found that they had missed their opportunity. When they thought of Ji Yang tentatively asking them if they would follow him, they could only smile bitterly to themselves. Of course, they hesitated, considering that Ji Yang might be heading to an unfavorable place for work, and hence, they had declined.
Having missed the chance, they naturally missed it, and seeing Zhan Yongtao also handling his handover procedures, everyone’s feelings were incredibly mixed.
Ji Yang, of course, did not care about their thoughts. He needed to keep developing himself. Those who could keep up would follow; for those who couldn’t, well, it was up to them.
After finishing work-related tasks and returning home, Qian Huifang called.
"Yang, it’s really chaotic here, so many people are implicated. No wonder everyone doesn’t trust the officials here; there are hardly a few who haven’t been affected."
"How are those few people I asked you to check on now?"
"Chu Chunhua and Lu Xiaoyun have been implicated by the Chu Family and are facing some issues. They no longer hold positions and have become ordinary staff in the village."
Ji Yang could only shake his head. These two were people Chu Shuyuan had asked him to look out for. Unexpectedly, they had gotten too close to the Chu Family. He guessed that Chu Ning had asked them to do certain things. With such a major incident in Qingyuan Village, Chu Ning was definitely not uninvolved and hence had been affected.
As for the Chu Family, Ji Yang knew that they had only suffered a minor loss this time and it had not been deeply investigated.
"Miao Xiaoying has been transferred to work at the City Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and she didn’t stay in the village."
Ji Yang was also somewhat surprised; this woman really had some connections. She managed to transfer to the City Federation of Literary and Art Circles through her writing. She wasn’t affected by the recent events, and he didn’t know what her current writing focus was.
"Huang Yu was transferred from the Organization Department to work at the CPPCC, and now her job is pretty much idle."
"Hasn’t she aligned with any side?"
"From what I understand, it’s precisely because she didn’t align with any side that she got moved to the CPPCC."
This was indeed a clever person, not mired in corruption with those people!
Ji Yang silently praised her.
"Her situation isn’t good. She had an ambiguous relationship with their department head. Now that he’s in trouble, she’s been implicated and doubly fired."
This truly surprised Ji Yang. What the hell was Qian Wan doing for such a drastic change!
Qian Huifang was really diligent, recounting the situations of all the officials Ji Yang had mentioned.
"I’ve also learned about some people in the village. Gu Xiaogui from the Finance Office later faced suppression, lost his position, and was transferred to the County Finance Bureau as a common clerk. The head of the guesthouse, Cao Li, is no longer at the guesthouse and now has opened a small store. Cao Guihua from the health clinic was also transferred to work as a common doctor at the county hospital."
Continuing, Qian Huifang said, "There’s also my younger sister, her days are not going well. Several leaders are interested in her, but in her heart, there’s only you. Now she is just an ordinary staff member at the Youth League committee."
Ji Yang knew this woman had always been interested in him, and now learning that she had always had him in her heart, he didn’t know what to do about it.
"Y’all know my situation. If there’s someone suitable, let her marry someone else."
Qian Huifang fell silent. She knew what kind of person Ji Yang was. As a man, he was acceptable, but as a husband, he was not qualified. Ji Yang was too much of a womanizer. She guessed that aside from the few of them, there were probably other women. For her younger sister’s sake, Ji Yang’s suggestion for her to marry someone else was right.
However, she knew her sister’s thoughts; she really did have her heart set on Ji Yang.
Qian Huifang sighed softly, feeling she really needed to talk to her sister about Ji Yang’s situation.
After hanging up the phone, a call from Wu Mi came. The information she had was similar to Qian Huifang’s. Several people in the village who used to follow Ji Yang, except for a few who had defected to other leaders’ sides, were mostly sidelined now.
Wu Mi also mentioned Liu Yun, a nearly forgotten woman.
According to Wu Mi, Liu Yun surprisingly had not gotten into trouble this time and was still the deputy director of the Party and Government Office.
Ji Yang was surprised at this. Knowing that this woman had continuously played ambiguous games with some leaders to climb the ranks, it was astonishing that she hadn’t gotten into trouble amidst such complexity.
She had some serious skills!
He was somewhat fearful of this woman. She was definitely not simple.
Wu Mi also spoke about the situation in Qingyuan Village. After being upgraded to a sub-county level, the development here indeed sped up considerably, almost becoming a new county town. Many projects had settled here. However, with the leaders’ downfall, many projects that had started were now halted. Also, what used to be a town thriving with entertainment businesses was now empty, with several residential areas becoming nearly vacant.
