Mr. Ji Yang wanted to turn down the matter, but at this point, the board members quickly agreed.
Jiang Miao smiled and looked at Mr. Ji Yang, "Mr. Ji Yang, you must be quite familiar with the situation in the bureau by now. Everyone is responsible for their own work content, and indeed, there is no spare energy to take on this matter. Originally, a deputy director was in charge of it, but he had to step down early due to illness. After your arrival, you’re taking his place. Naturally, his duties should be assumed by you. During this time, you’ve also become familiar with the affairs of the bureau, so it’s best for you to take over his work."
Mr. Ji Yang realized they had already discussed this matter beforehand; there was no room for refusal. If he didn’t accept, they would probably report his lack of compliance to their superiors immediately. Rejecting the team’s decision would be considered gross misconduct.
"Fine, I’ll take it on, but I want to make it clear that I lack experience. I’m not very familiar with many aspects of the work, so please be understanding if I don’t do well."
Jiang Miao simply smiled and said, "Everyone knows the situation. Just go ahead and do your best; I’ll stand by you if there are any problems."
This woman isn’t kind either, Mr. Ji Yang thought. Her words sound nice, but in reality, she’s just forcing me into a trap.
At that moment, everyone was smiling, indicating that he should just go ahead and do it.
The meeting ended quickly, and Jiang Miao said to Mr. Ji Yang, "Mr. Ji Yang, I will accompany you to announce this at the Myanmar department and introduce you to the colleagues."
While speaking, she led Mr. Ji Yang to the twelfth floor.
"Our bureau has ten internal institutions, and recently we’ve added some more departments for external affairs. Basically, there is one agency responsible for each floor. The new Myanmar department is located on the twelfth floor, and from now on, you are in charge of this entire floor."
Mr. Ji Yang said nothing, seeing that everything had already been arranged to the last detail, even the office fittings and staff configuration had been completed beforehand, just waiting for him to take charge.
Just then, a beautiful woman hurried over.
"Director Jiang, Director Ji, good day."
The woman had the look of someone astute and capable; she fit the image of an executive who gets things done.
Jiang Miao introduced, "This is Deputy Director Ji Yang. As decided in today’s meeting, he will be responsible for partnering with your Section Seven."
Now Mr. Ji Yang understood that the official name of the Myanmar department was Section Seven, and this woman, Lu Wanli, was the head of that section.
After understanding the situation, Mr. Ji Yang also realized that this woman could actually report directly to Jiang Miao; he himself was just a figurehead.
"Director Ji, your office has already been prepared for you. Please take a look and see if there is anything you would like to change."
"Okay." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ nοvelfire.net
Mr. Ji Yang wouldn’t show any discontent; he cheerfully and smilingly agreed.
Without a clear understanding of the situation, Mr. Ji Yang was not the type to rashly express his attitude.
This was a skill he had honed over his few years in the bureaucratic field.
Glancing at his new office, Mr. Ji Yang nodded to himself in approval; it was indeed a nice space.
Lu Wanli promptly called together everyone from the department.
Looking around, Mr. Ji Yang found the view quite pleasing; most of them were beautiful women, each dressed to the nines, and the few men were young, seemingly fresh out of school. Expecting them to help with significant matters, Mr. Ji Yang doubted they had the capacity.
He didn’t need to think twice to know that women were unlikely to be sent on business trips; more likely, he would need to handle such affairs personally.
