24: Chapter 24: Many People Involved 24: Chapter 24: Many People Involved Having just finished up some matters, Chu Shuyuan walked in.
“Your position as director remains unchanged, but many other things have greatly changed; this document is now void.”
She threw the document that Ji Yang had worked on that morning over to him.
“I understand.” Ji Yang thought to himself that things had indeed turned out as expected.
When the document was under discussion, those leaders were still in power, but now, most had gotten into trouble, so naturally, the contents of the discussion were no longer valid.
“During the discussion, many of them hadn’t spotted the problem.
Fortunately, the document wasn’t issued; otherwise, it would have been a joke!”
“Thankfully, Secretary Chu held back this document, otherwise it really would have led to trouble.”
Although Chu Shuyuan knew that Ji Yang was deliberately saying this to please her, she still felt happy hearing it.
“Do your best to cooperate with them and manage the work well.
You needn’t worry about your position.
This time, it’s involved quite a number of people.”
Her words conveyed a sense of reassurance to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang wasn’t too concerned about this matter; right now, all he needed to do was cling to Chu Shuyuan as his backer.
As long as she didn’t fall, he would stand to gain enormously.
Seeing the serious expression on Chu Shuyuan’s face, Ji Yang knew that things were probably even more serious than he had guessed.
“Secretary Chu, you should take a rest.”
“The situation is very serious, even more so than I had imagined.
Lu Shijie is the real overlord here, and this time the issue has involved too many people,” sighed Chu Shuyuan.
She then said, “In this matter, you have made a great contribution.
If it weren’t for your discovery, we wouldn’t have been able to expose this.
The organization is aware of your merits.”
Chu Shuyuan looked towards Ji Yang as she spoke.
Right now, her heart was filled with gratitude for Ji Yang.
Without him, who knows what might have happened.
Thinking about the possible consequences of the matter, Chu Shuyuan was extremely frightened.
She knew more than Ji Yang, and after seeing the ways in which Lu Shijie and the others covertly manipulated people, she didn’t even know if she could have avoided it herself.
Looking again at Ji Yang standing respectfully before her, Chu Shuyuan internally praised herself for making good use of him.
If she hadn’t involved Ji Yang, none of these events would have happened, and perhaps she herself would have been trapped here.
Ji Yang’s heart quivered at the thought, wondering if more responsibilities were about to be placed on him.
Though curious, Ji Yang did not inquire about the specifics.
“Alright, you must be tired, and there’s not much to do now.
Rest up; there’s still a lot of work for tomorrow.”
“I’m fine,” said Ji Yang.
“There’s been police involvement; this is no small matter, so the role you can play is limited.
Go on, get some good rest,” Chu Shuyuan said gently.
She was unaware that Ji Yang’s fatigue was not due to lack of rest, but for another reason.
Seeing Ji Yang so exhausted from work matters, she felt even more that she had chosen the right person.
Realizing she indeed had to go rest, Ji Yang still waited a while after Chu Shuyuan left before returning to his own residence.
After all that had happened and the fierce battles with two women, Ji Yang truly felt weary, and he knew he definitely needed to rest well.
Waking up to daylight, Ji Yang hurried to the office area, only to find people gathered in small groups discussing something.
“Good morning, Director Ji.” Someone greeted him.
Everyone knew that Ji Yang’s situation was different now.
Greeting everyone, Ji Yang asked, “What’s going on here?”
“There are quite a few people involved this time.
Nobody slept well last night!”
Indeed, Ji Yang noticed that many had dark circles under their eyes, clearly not having slept well.
“Let’s all go to our stations.
As long as you act upright and sit straight, there won’t be any problems,” was all Ji Yang could say.
When he entered the office, Miao Xiaoying and Chen Yongwei had already arrived and were cleaning the floor.
Ji Yang’s teacup had already been prepared with tea.
Yesterday, Ji Yang had called them to assist with work.
“Good morning, Director.”
Both greeted him, and Miao Xiaoying didn’t show any sign of a special relationship with Ji Yang.
“Director, Wei Wuyin and Qiu Ling have also gotten into trouble,” Miao Xiaoying suddenly said.
Ji Yang turned to look at Miao Xiaoying.
Seeing Ji Yang looking at her, Miao Xiaoying said, “It’s rumored that Wei Wuyin actually had a relationship with Lu Shijie.”
“What about Qiu Ling?”
“That woman, supposedly, fell under Lu Shijie’s control.”
Ji Yang was secretly shocked.
Qiu Ling had kept her cards close to her chest, and he had never noticed anything odd about her.
He had not expected such a situation.
Ji Yang glanced at Miao Xiaoying, remembering how Qiu Ling had once spoken up for her.
Miao Xiaoying, quite astute, added, “Sometimes I stay with friends in the countryside when I’m there.”
She deliberately made it clear that her relationship with Qiu Ling wasn’t as close as it might have appeared.
Ji Yang thought to himself that he had better observe the situation first.
Aloud, he said, “As long as we adhere to integrity, none of us will have problems.”
Chen Yongwei said, “Director, they say Lu Shijie was like a rural emperor around here.
He was discreet on the surface but secretly held many people’s weaknesses, even that of some county and city-level leaders.
He also secretly controlled some women and all sorts of other rumored things.”
This kid really knew a lot of information!
Ji Yang was still shocked.
If things had continued, he might have inadvertently given Lu Shijie and his people a grip on him and ended up under their control.
Thankfully, they had now been exposed! Chapters first released on novelꜰire.net
