Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua arranged for Liu Yumeng to work under Lin Aijun. Lin Aijun was a woman extremely skilled at reading people and situations, and her perception wasn't merely superficial — she placed greater value on future influence.

So in front of Chen Yuancheng, she was thick-skinned and shameless; in front of Wang Xiaohua, although she complained about the heavy workload, she still strove to cooperate with Wang Xiaohua and do everything well.

Because Chen Yuancheng's official career had long since hit its ceiling and could offer her very little help, while Wang Xiaohua's official career had only just begun and his future prospects were boundless, it was best to cooperate earnestly now and build a good relationship.

As for facing Liu Yumeng, Lin Aijun saw her slender arms and legs, her whole body delicate beyond compare, and knew at once she wasn't someone who did heavy labor. So upon arriving at the Shangang Village Committee, she arranged for Liu Yumeng to sit in the office processing documents, while she herself took on all the work of going down to the countryside for visits.

She thought this would curry favor with Liu Yumeng, but unexpectedly Liu Yumeng, alone in the office, often had nothing to do, bored to the point of panic, and played Candy Crush all the way past level one thousand.

She politely proposed to Lin Aijun that she also wanted to go down to the countryside for a walk. Lin Aijun refused at first, but later couldn't hold out against her persistence and agreed.

As a result, on the very first day going down to the countryside, they encountered a situation of being chased by a dog, which directly scared Liu Yumeng into tears. She also fell and scraped a patch of skin off her knee, and after that she no longer wanted to go down to the countryside.

Fortunately, at the critical moment Lin Aijun acted bravely, using the method Wang Xiaohua had taught her. She mustered her courage, grabbed a brick, stared down the mongrel, and postured as if to fight it — only then did she scare the dog away.

Otherwise Liu Yumeng would absolutely have been bitten and injured, and Lin Aijun's own future would have been ruined in an instant.

Ever since then, Liu Yumeng never mentioned going down to the countryside together again.

Lin Aijun felt in her heart that since she had saved Liu Yumeng from a vicious dog, Liu Yumeng ought to be endlessly grateful to her.

But to her surprise, Liu Yumeng not only failed to thank her, but a week later used her family connections to pressure the Town Government, demanding to be transferred to the Rural Revitalization Office to work, and not work at the Village Committee Office anymore.

When this matter reached He Gaofeng's ears, He Gaofeng got a massive headache. Such a delicate little girl — why on earth did they bring her to the township in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better for her to stay in the county?

Simply tormenting people to death!

However, constrained by face and also wanting to preserve this connection, in the end He Gaofeng still personally went to find Wang Xiaohua for a talk.

"Xiaohua, see if you can transfer Liu Yumeng back to the Poverty Alleviation Office. She's not too suited to the countryside."

He Gaofeng laid the matter out directly.

For this kind of internal personnel change within the department, honestly speaking, He Gaofeng didn't actually need to personally go out at all.

Wang Xiaohua knew that if he personally showed up, it wasn't to discuss matters, but to inform you how things must be done.

Wang Xiaohua felt stifled.

Originally, transferring Liu Yumeng to the Shangang Village Committee was precisely to give her a sinecure.

Now it was good — Liu Yumeng actually felt this sinecure still wasn't idle enough, and wanted to come to the Poverty Alleviation Office to blow air conditioning.

These second-generation figures really are hard to serve.

"Fine, no problem."

Wang Xiaohua thought for a moment. He had many words he wanted to say, but in the end not a single one came out of his mouth — he just agreed.

At Wang Xiaohua's reaction, He Gaofeng couldn't help but stare blankly:

"Xiaohua, you don't have anything to say?"

Wang Xiaohua gave a polite smile:

"Since Secretary He has personally stepped forward, this matter certainly isn't a small one. Anyway, over at the Shangang Village Committee, Lin Aijun alone can handle the workload. Transferring Liu Yumeng back to the office here will have absolutely no impact on the overall operation of the Poverty Alleviation Office."

Hearing this, He Gaofeng couldn't help but look at Wang Xiaohua with new respect:

"Not afraid to speak frankly to you — you're the young person with the best comprehension I've seen in so many years. A few ordinary university graduates came before, and compared to you, those university students are truly far inferior."

Wang Xiaohua let out a dry laugh:

"I actually don't have that much comprehension. In the future I'll still have to trouble Secretary He to give me more guidance!"

He Gaofeng simply said:

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow transfer Liu Yumeng back to the Poverty Alleviation Office!"

The next day, Liu Yumeng was transferred from the Shangang Village Committee back to the Poverty Alleviation Office.

Liu Yumeng thought that this way she could sit in the office with Wang Xiaohua, blowing air conditioning and working.

Unexpectedly, this morning after Wang Xiaohua gave her some materials to process, he hurriedly went out.

"Hey, Wang Xiaohua, where are you going?"

Seeing Wang Xiaohua about to leave, Liu Yumeng's face showed some astonishment.

Wang Xiaohua turned back:

"I'm going down to the countryside. Today I have to visit several marginal households. You just stay in the office!"

Seeing this, Liu Yumeng couldn't help muttering:

"You've already become the Office Director, yet you still go on visits yourself? Wouldn't it be better to let subordinates go on visits?"

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"Precisely because I'm the Office Director, I feel the responsibility is even greater. So I not only have subordinates go on visits, but when I have time I also go on visits myself. There's a saying: 'From the masses, to the masses!'"

Liu Yumeng, however, didn't agree, and even retorted:

"I look at you — you're truly a bookworm, read yourself stupid! You don't even know how to slack off!"

Wang Xiaohua didn't bother arguing with her, just gave a hollow laugh:

"Maybe. Not talking to you anymore, I'm leaving!"

After Wang Xiaohua left, Liu Yumeng was alone in the office, facing a pile of documents.

She had no heart to look at them, only feeling it was extremely boring.

Thinking that for the next year or even longer, she would have to face such tedious work, she felt a bit like collapsing.

She even began to somewhat resent her family's arrangement.

Originally she was doing perfectly fine in the county town — why did they have to insist on transferring her here?

In the County Town it was also an idle post, but there were people nearby to chat with, and after getting off duty she could still go shopping and watch movies.

In this Mountain Pass little town of Shangang Town, after getting off duty there wasn't even a place to go shopping — this life really couldn't be lived!

So after only working two days, she again took the initiative to say to Xiao Hua:

"How about today I go with you to visit poor households."

Xiao Hua tactfully refused:

"Better not. Last time Lin Aijun took you down to the countryside, you were nearly bitten by a dog. If something like that happens again this time, then I'll be at fault! You might forgive me, but your family certainly won't!"

Liu Yumeng wore a gloomy face:

"So you're all afraid of my family, that's why you won't give me anything to do, right?"

Xiao Hua hurriedly explained:

"No, isn't there a pile of materials for you to organize? That's technical work, it really tests patience!"

Liu Yumeng looked at Xiao Hua with resentful eyes:

"You just had me stack these materials neatly, what technique does that need?"

Then she started acting coquettish:

"I don't care, anyway I must go down to the countryside with you today!"

Xiao Hua became gloomy:

"What if we run into a native dog?"

Liu Yumeng was also afraid of native dogs, but she still said:

"I don't care, you handle it yourself!"

Xiao Hua sighed:

"There's really no way with you..."
