The car had been on the road for several hours before it finally arrived at Chunshui County.
Cadres who had received notice in advance were already waiting in the meeting room of the old county town.
Everyone went straight to the meeting room without delay. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⁂fire.net
Ji Yang was naturally the one to chair the meeting. He glanced at the cadres and said, "The main content of today’s meeting is to announce a decision made by the municipal committee. Now, I invite Minister Meng to make the announcement."
The cadres all took on a serious demeanor.
Meng Yajuan adjusted the microphone before she announced the entire decision.
Following that was the statement of position by the newly arrived cadres, led by Huangfu Kun.
Huangfu Kun looked over at the cadres and then said, "Comrades, I believe you are not very familiar with me. Although there was an introduction made earlier, I would like to add a little more."
The cadres of Chunshui County all turned their attention to Huangfu Kun, unsure of what he would say.
"Comrades, I am not someone who has climbed the ranks relying solely on family background. I also wish to work based on my own abilities. Although our Huangfu family does have some influence in Capital City, and my grandfather is a man who can often be seen on television, my fiancée happens to be the second young miss from the Song family. Some of you comrades may not be aware of the Song family’s situation, but Sir Song also frequently appeared on television in the past. By all accounts, born into such a family, I could live comfortably without doing much. However, I harbor the desire to do some practical work for the common people. Therefore, I went down to the grassroots level and started from a small village..."
Huangfu Kun talked about his initial work in the ministries, boasting of his many connections, and then spoke of his successive roles in localities, where he had helped stimulate growth and development.
"Comrades, I am not recounting all this to tout my achievements but to let everyone know that I work diligently in every place I go. Although my family background is not something I need to rely on, it can still bring in substantial investments and make many things easier to manage. With such conditions, and with these abilities, I’m confident that with your cooperation, I can perform even better. Chunshui Village is not in the best shape in all aspects. I believe, as long as we can unite together, we can surely look forward to a bright future!"
Everyone listening to him speak fixed their gaze on him a little more intensely. This was a display of power through his family background and a clear intention of rallying everyone around him. Even before beginning his work, he was already looking to establish his own faction.
Ji Yang certainly caught onto this and it stirred him, knowing that with this person’s arrival, Chunshui County was probably going to get lively.
Of course, Ji Yang did not pay too much attention to what the other said. Even if he had the backing of two families, so what?
At that moment, Tian Jiacai couldn’t help but inwardly grin wryly. This city was indeed very complicated. Just Huangfu Kun alone was enough to stir things up, and who knew what would happen next.
After Huangfu Kun finished speaking, he sat down quite pleased with himself, casting a brief glance in Ji Yang’s direction.
Next up was He Youxiu, and everyone was eager to hear her remarks.
But unexpectedly, He Youxiu stuck to platitudes and did not reveal the power behind her.
Then it was Zhang Peimin’s turn. During his speech, he expressed his intention to work closely with the new leadership and to unite around the county committee to accomplish their tasks.
Liu Piaoxue was truly surprised; she had not expected to be admitted into the team.
Liu Piaoxue quickly realized that without Ji Yang, this day would never have come for her.
Having seen much, Liu Piaoxue felt truly grateful to Ji Yang from the bottom of her heart. As for what Huangfu Kun boasted about his family’s power, Liu Piaoxue thought it through. No matter the situation, she was determined to follow Ji Yang closely.
As for Chu Zhendong, he too hadn’t expected to rise so quickly. This was him joining the team.
Indeed, following Ji Yang had been the right decision. As long as he could perform well in his job, Ji Yang, the leader, would truly be supportive.
The reason Chu Zhendong hadn’t been valued before was due to his integrity. Now, seeing that Ji Yang hadn’t taken any benefits from him yet was willing to support him, he felt a deep sense of gratitude and made up his mind; he just needed to follow Ji Yang closely.
Huangfu Kun’s speech, using his family to influence everyone, was something Chu Zhendong had also discerned, but he simply laughed it off. Chunshui County was not the stronghold of their powers. After all, Ji Yang had managed to rise under such conditions, and his capabilities were undeniable. It was evident he had substantial support backing him, and following a leader like Ji Yang was the right thing to do.
They had their thoughts, and so did the other cadres, who were also having their own considerations in the face of the new county chief with considerable powerful backing.
It became known to everyone that the days when Ji Yang had sole dominance were gone. Going forward, Huangfu Kun’s faction would become a significant force.
