Ji Yang and Cao Li were almost about to go to bed, and the atmosphere was getting better and better.
Just then, Yu’s phone rang.
For leaders like them, their phones naturally had to stay connected.
Picking it up, he saw it was Huang Yu calling. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel✦fire.net
"Secretary Ji, you need to come back quickly, there are many people with banners demanding jobs."
The thing officials fear the most is this type of group incident; handling it poorly could lead to big problems.
Ji Yang immediately couldn’t sit still and asked, "What’s the situation exactly?"
"Didn’t they set up many entertainment industries? They’ve recruited many women from various villages, and now all those have shut down, causing a large number of women to be unemployed. I don’t know who started it, but they are now holding banners demanding the government help them."
Ji Yang was suddenly frustrated that such a thing had happened.
"Brother, what’s going on?"
He roughly explained the situation.
Cao Li said, "I know quite a bit about this. Those entertainment industries, especially the illicit ones, need a lot of women. So, many women from outside came back to work in those places like nightclubs, and they even brought many girls from their own villages into it."
"Their parents just let them do those things?" Ji Yang was puzzled.
"You should know the situation in the villages. Except for a few villages, many, especially those deep in the mountains, are still very poor. They can’t even fill their stomachs, so they resort to such things. Plus, with examples around them, when people see those who made money, they just follow suit. Mostly, those who went to our county to do it were relatively fewer because it’s close to home; most are actually from other provinces. Many of them, except for looking pretty, don’t have any skills and can only do such things."
Ji Yang said, "Alright, I’ll notify you about our matters. Now, I need to go handle this."
"Brother, it might not be that hard to solve. They can’t sell their bodies, but they can still do things like massage and streaming; they can handle those."
Ji Yang’s eyes lit up, looking at Cao Li, "Can you handle these projects?"
"Are you talking about starting a company?"
Ji Yang said, "Yes, if you can absorb some people, it can alleviate the pressure."
"I know some people in this field, I can contact them, but it might require funding."
"You don’t need to worry about funds. There’s someone named Chen Yongsong with some funds, he’s looking to invest. From now on, you’re the manager of this company. Handle it, get the company up and running."
Cao Li is smart, and didn’t bother to ask who Chen Yongsong was, thinking that he must be connected to Ji Yang. As long as she is doing it for Ji Yang, that’s enough.
"Alright, I’ll do it well."
With the urgency of the matter, Ji Yang didn’t delay any longer and got up to leave.
Ji Yang also thought it through: investing some money with Cao Li to help solve those people’s employment problems might be feasible.
Upon arriving at the location of the new district, sure enough, Ji Yang saw hundreds of women holding banners and making noise there.
"The leader is here, we want work."
When everyone saw Ji Yang arriving, many recognized him and started causing a commotion again.
Ji Yang, upon seeing people taking photos, had an unpleasant expression, thinking to himself if someone was stirring things up.
However, now was not the time to think about these things. Ji Yang walked over with big strides and said, "I am Ji Yang, the Party Secretary of Qingyuan Village. We can talk about whatever issues you have. Making noise here won’t solve the problem. If you all speak at once, we can’t hear what you want."
"We want to survive!"
These women have seen all kinds of men and naturally weren’t intimidated, each raising a ruckus.
This was the first time Ji Yang had encountered such a thing, and he was a bit flustered.
However, Ji Yang steadied his emotions and said, "The village is already aware of your situation. Since the new leadership has just taken office, it always takes a little time to solve the problem, right?"
"We don’t care, right now we have lost our source of livelihood, we demand a living, we want to earn money!"
Seeing the situation getting noisy again, Ji Yang noticed a few women leading the charge and thought, "Fine, if you want jobs, then keep quiet. If you continue causing a disturbance, then it’s deliberately disrupting peace and stability, and those who should be arrested will be arrested!"
Ji Yang’s voice grew louder; he did not believe these women weren’t afraid of causing trouble.
Sure enough, apart from a few women still shouting, most people quieted down.
Seeing the chaos temporarily calm down, Ji Yang looked around at everyone and said, "During the great development of Qingyuan Village, there is actually a great demand for talented people. Now you can come to register your specialties. The government can coordinate to solve your employment issues."
