Having sent the woman away, Ji Yang sat there and seriously began to think.
A secretary was definitely needed, and the arrangement had to be made as soon as possible, but at the moment, Ji Yang was entirely in the dark about the situation in Chunshui County, which made finding a suitable person difficult.
At this time, Ji Yang thought about some of his previous arrangements.
While he was thinking, his phone beeped with a text message alert.
Opening it, Ji Yang saw that it was indeed a message from Guo Yuming.
Though it was just a text message, it was almost an article in length, detailing all the investigations Guo Yuming had conducted after his arrival, and he reported these findings to Ji Yang. This text is hosted at novelꞁire.net
Ji Yang wasn’t worried about anyone monitoring his phone at this point; it was only a county after all, and even if those people were capable, they weren’t that sophisticated.
After reading through the entire content carefully, Ji Yang came to know quite a lot about the general situation of the county.
Most importantly, Guo Yuming had secretly investigated the circumstances of the county officials. Although it couldn’t be said to be extremely accurate, the basic information was sufficient.
Indeed, nearly everyone in the county had already become part of the force aligned with Bao Geishan. If Ji Yang were to take rash actions against them here, he guessed they would unite against him.
The more Ji Yang read, the more alarmed he became, and he already had a plan in mind: to use this affair with Bao Geishan to deal with these people one by one, making use of public opinion was something Ji Yang intended to do.
As he looked through the possible candidates for the role of secretary, one person entered his sight.
This was a very good man who had previously served as a secretary to a county head. However, after that county head clashed with the local powers, he soon died in a car accident. After the county head’s death, Zheng Hong fell out of favor, but it seemed he had never joined the opposing power.
What mattered most was that Zheng Hong still had some connections. Even though he hadn’t aligned with the other side, he was merely assigned to work in the Education Bureau.
After arriving at the Education Bureau, he was quickly dispatched to teach at a secondary school.
Not long after that, he was sent to teach at a primary school, even to one with poor conditions.
Reviewing his situation carefully again, Ji Yang could tell that although Zheng Hong had some care from classmates, those classmates could only look out for him and could not influence matters in Chunshui County.
From Guo Yuming’s investigation, Ji Yang knew that Zheng Hong was very familiar with the situation in the county, and he couldn’t possibly be one of their people.
He was someone capable and not likely to easily defect to the other side; moreover, he understood gratitude. After the death of his county head, he became suspicious of the locals and made several secret reports.
Guo Yuming really did a good job investigating all these matters!
Ji Yang gained a greater appreciation for Guo Yuming’s capabilities.
For now, he would have this young man serve as his secretary.
Ji Yang also wanted to see if Zheng Hong could truly be of use to him.
A phone call was quickly made to the office director, and Ji Yang directly ordered the transfer of this man to the government office, explicitly indicating that Zheng Hong was to become his secretary.
Bao Geishan now had no chance of coming back; the power of public opinion was too great, bringing to light many of his deeds.
Thus, the current situation in the government office could be described as headless dragons, and only Ji Yang was capable of taking control of everything.
