"I’m willing to give it a try!" Thɪs chapter is updated by novᴇlfire.net
Upon hearing Ji Yang’s willingness to go to a challenging place, Zhou Chengqian wasn’t surprised and said, "Father also estimated you would choose that place. Here is the information about it, you can take a look."
After saying this, Zhou Chengqian added, "Once you’re there, not only us, the Zhou Family, but other families will also hardly be able to help you. You’ll need to face everything on your own."
Ji Yang nodded and said, "That’s fine with me."
Zhou Chengqian said, "Brother, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. You are someone who faces difficulties head-on!"
Ji Yang replied, "Anyway, with friends like you guys, if I fail in the political arena, I’ll just come to you for help."
Zhou Chengqian laughed and said, "Don’t worry, even if you’re not in politics, you won’t have to worry about much."
After sending Zhou Chengqian off, Ji Yang held the file folder that was given to him, feeling heavy-hearted. He didn’t expect such a situation.
With not many classmates at the party school, Ji Yang returned to his dormitory and opened the file folder.
Chunshui County, Quyang City, South Dian Province.
Upon seeing the location, Ji Yang was somewhat surprised; he didn’t expect to work in such a place.
After understanding the entire situation for a while, Ji Yang felt a bit of a headache. It wasn’t a good place. Firstly, the traffic was poor, and the local awareness was too strong. Many expatriates experienced discomfort upon arrival, with some even falling ill or dying.
The main issue was the extremely low per capita income, reaching an incredible level. The higher-ups were also aware of the various issues in that place, but the xenophobic sentiments were strong.
The content Zhou Chengqian brought was full of details, many of which were beyond their knowledge.
No wonder those who wished to get rid of him wanted him to go to such a place. They knew that once he was there, it would be hard for him to develop, and he might even encounter trouble.
The Zhou Family apparently did not know much about the county’s situation either, as the information only included content collected over a short period.
Ji Yang thought for a moment and then made a call to Guo Yuming.
Upon receiving the call, Guo Yuming immediately asked, "Boss, what’s the matter?"
He was now addressing Ji Yang as Boss.
Ji Yang said, "I might be going to a new place to work, so I’d like you to go there and get a sense of the situation in various aspects. If possible, try to establish some footing there."
Guo Yuming immediately understood Yu’s meaning, which was to go there first, gather information in all aspects, and establish a small force that could be used by Ji Yang later on.
"I’ll head over there at once."
Having dispatched Guo Yuming, Ji Yang felt slightly relieved. At least he wouldn’t be heading there blindly, and it was necessary to make some arrangements.
As for what Guo Yuming might be able to accomplish, Ji Yang didn’t give specific instructions, trusting that with Guo Yuming’s ability, he would handle many things.
Ji Yang also had a doubt: his one-year course now had only been a few months, and he was unsure if he would be able to obtain the diploma.
While thinking about this, a call from Chu Shuyuan came.
"Did you learn about your assignment?"
Ji Yang laughed and said, "Zhou Chengqian just mentioned it to me. I chose to go to a new place to work."
"I knew you’d think that way. This time, the Chu Family didn’t help you, and the other families have their plans."
"I never counted on the Chu Family’s help; you’re the only one I know from the Chu Family."
Ji Yang understood that only Chu Shuyuan from the Chu Family would help him, and previous help likely came due to Shuyuan’s efforts.
Chu Shuyuan said, "That’s okay too. If it doesn’t work out, you can always give up on the official position."
"Don’t you have any hopes for me?"
"I know that place well. The situation is extremely complex. Although there’s no evidence, the previous incident involving an expatriate county head was likely orchestrated by locals. I’m most worried about your safety there."
Ji Yang was no novice, having worked; he naturally didn’t assume everywhere was safe. He replied earnestly, "I will be careful."
"Actually, the best choice would have been taking a position in some department in the city, even if it means slower progress."
Ji Yang thought about how in politics, being late once meant being late in every step. He didn’t want to live like that; no one could predict the future situation.
