55: Chapter 55 Everyone Had a Bad Sleep 55: Chapter 55 Everyone Had a Bad Sleep The next day, when Ji Yang arrived at the office, Yan Xingshun notified everyone of a brief meeting.
When everyone sat down in the meeting room, Yan Xingshun said, “None of us slept well yesterday, and the reason is the issues with the houses we live in.
Even though the higher-ups have inspected them, there are still concerns.
Comrade He Chengjun specifically called to discuss this with me.
Since we want everyone to live comfortably, we should thoroughly renovate and refurbish our rooms.
Moreover, the overall layout of the office needs some adjustments.
The purpose of this meeting is to get approval for these changes.”
He Chengjun said, “Before coming here, I was unaware of the situation.
After arriving, I heard about many issues.
Whether it’s the office or the accommodation, there is some concern among us.
I also brought this up with Mayor Zou, and he said that as long as we have the funds, we can make some local renovations.”
“Exactly, Secretary Zhao conveyed the same sentiment.
I checked the financial situation and found that it won’t cost much, so we can definitely handle it.
Since everyone will be visiting the rural areas during this period, we should have the renovation company come and do a comprehensive renovation.
What do you all think?”
Huang Yu nodded and said, “I think it’s a good idea.
There’s another matter, Comrade Ji Yang used to live in the staff dormitories, and now that he’s here, we should also arrange a room for him.”
Yan Xingshun replied, “Of course.”
Ji Yang said, “Perfect, yesterday Secretary Chu told me that since she has left, her room can be relinquished.
I’ll take her room from now on.”
Naturally, there were no objections from the rest.
Several others also expressed their agreement.
Qiu Ling said with a laugh, “Ever since I found out about the incidents here, I’ve checked the guesthouse many times, to the point where I’m afraid to even take a shower!”
Qian Wan also laughed, “I dare not shower either, genuinely worried that someone might inadvertently take a photo.”
Yan Xingshun chuckled, “It’s not that serious.
Comrades Huang Yu and Ji Yang know the situation here.
The higher-up personnel thoroughly searched the guesthouse and the other rooms repeatedly, so there definitely won’t be those problems again.”
Tian Ronghua said, “Since everyone has concerns, let’s renovate.
It will make living there more acceptable.
Also, the offices of some institutions don’t necessarily have to use the original spaces.
Some rooms can be renovated to become our offices.
What does everyone think?”
This comment represented the thoughts of everyone, and they all agreed.
Yan Xingshun said, “Since everyone agrees, let’s hire someone for the renovation.”
He Chengjun added, “I will take care of hiring the construction team.
I’ll get a team from the city, and I believe when we return, we’ll be able to move into new offices.”
Yan Xingshun hesitated, then suggested, “It would be best this time to form a work group to supervise their work.
How does that sound?”
We have to be rigorous with this matter.”
Ji Yang had no objection, his mind still occupied by the events of last night.
Chu Shuyuan had indeed been rather wild the prior night, and the two of them had exchanged many actions numerous times.
Ji Yang did not feel weakened after that endeavor, as he had gained from her that particular energy, leaving him feeling quite spirited now.
After discussing the construction issues, Yan Xingshun said, “Several villages require traveling on mountain roads.
We’re dispatching the agency’s staff, and everyone must serve the leaders well.
We cannot afford any mistakes.”
Turning to Ji Yang, he said, “Secretary Chu has expressed her intention to visit the farthest village.
You are familiar with the situation there, Comrade Ji Yang, so Secretary Chu will be under your care.”
“Rest assured, I will perform my duties well.” Googlᴇ search novel·fire·net
“Then good, everyone follow the leaders and set off.”
This time, everyone was enthusiastic.
Yan Xingshun wanted to show initiative, so he took charge of all arrangements without involving Ji Yang.
Ji Yang didn’t compete for control; if Yan wanted responsibility, he could have it.
After waiting for a while, the leaders had breakfast and came out.
Ji Yang did not concern himself with others and approached Chu Shuyuan.
Since being refreshed, she looked radiant and charming this day.
With a glance at Ji Yang, Chu Shuyuan said seriously, “I’ve made the preparations.
Who will be joining us?”
Ji Yang replied, “Besides me, Comrades Gu Xiaogui and Zhang Feng will be coming along, as will Fan Chunhua from the Family Planning Office and Comrade Lu Xiaoyun from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.”
Ji Yang had intentionally made these arrangements so that having two women together could look after Chu Shuyuan.
Chu Shuyuan was naturally satisfied with a glance at Ji Yang, knowing that these people were chosen by him and could be trusted.
Ji Yang then handed out a straw hat to each person and provided water bottles.
He carried a large pack filled with numerous items.
Several of the local cadres also carried similar packs, well-prepared for their frequent rural visits.
With such significant importance from the higher levels, all available personnel were mobilized, and everyone set off together.
Since the journey was predominantly on mountain roads, they did not drive, accompanied by the cadre from each village.
