Chapter 130: Giving benefits to Dai Yaxuan

The others then tactfully went out. As the crowd left in a bustle, Su Yang stepped forward and opened the window. "These old men are really something; they don't show any compassion for female comrades. Mayor Dai is probably about to be poisoned by secondhand smoke at this rate."

Dai Yaxuan gave a gentle smile and said, "Thank you. Mayor Su, actually I've long been used to it. Working in the same unit as these people, this is a common occurrence. If I couldn't even endure this, I would have resigned and quit long ago."

Li Hu had originally wanted to take out a cigarette to offer Su Yang one, but seeing this scene, he put the cigarette back into his pocket.

Su Yang then said, "Actually, I believe you also know the reason why I kept you behind. Li Tian was 'double-regulated' this time, and there is a vacancy for an Executive Vice Town Mayor. My personal idea is to promote one from within our team, preferably one of you two."

"But this matter is not decided by the town, so I hope that if you have connections, you will pull them. I believe you understand this routine better than I do. If you want to move up, you must have someone pulling from above and someone pushing from behind."

"Otherwise, no matter how well you do your work, it will be in vain if no one above appreciates you. Tomorrow morning, I will convene a Party Committee meeting, and I will bring this matter up. I will try my best to nominate both of you, but I cannot guarantee the result."

Su Yang said to the two of them without any concealment.

A flash of gratitude crossed the eyes of Li Hu and Dai Yaxuan. Generally speaking, it is the normal operation for them to take the initiative to find Su Yang, send gifts, and offer benefits to get Su Yang to help speak up and nominate them.

But Su Yang directly opened the door and said he would try to get them both promoted. How could they not be surprised and moved?

Li Hu said, "Mayor Su, with these words from you, that is enough for me. I won't say anything else. I will still work steadily and do my job well. As for moving up, I really don't have much confidence or thought."

"And I am a local, and my age is what it is. Even if I move up, there isn't much future. Mayor Dai is still young and is a female comrade. She has advantages within the system, so please try your best to promote Mayor Dai."

A trace of emotion rose in Dai Yaxuan's heart. Although she had some understanding of Li Hu before, they didn't have much interaction. Today, it was because of Su Yang's face that Li Hu directly gave this opportunity to her, or perhaps Li Hu misunderstood something.

Her eyes turned slightly red, and she said, "Thank you, Mayor Su. Thank you, Mayor Li."

"Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, I will remember your kindness in the future."

Indeed, although she is also a Deputy Town Mayor now, the power difference between having the word "Executive" in front of her title or not is worlds apart.

"How about this, after work later, I will treat you to a simple meal. Please don't be polite with me."

Although it is said that three kind words warm the heart, it would be unkind to just say a few words of thanks for such a big matter.

Originally, Dai Yaxuan wanted to send some gifts or something, but she really couldn't bring herself to say it. If Su Yang didn't accept it, it would only be counterproductive. After all, Su Yang is not that money-grubbing guy Li Tian.

Su Yang said with a chuckle, "A meal, that's fine. Then we won't be polite."

If he didn't eat, it might lead to some misunderstanding by Xiao Yaxuan, and if she misunderstood that he had some ulterior motives, that would be a big problem. Simply eating a meal can be considered accepting her favor.

The next morning, as soon as he started work, the phone in Su Yang's pocket rang. He took it out and saw it was Ning Shu Yue calling.

"Great Mayor Su, good morning. Are you awake at this hour? Did I disturb your sweet dream?"

Su Yang said, "What time is it? Our grassroots units have been at work for two hours. Do you think we are like you officials working in the city?"

"Who are you mocking? We are both section-level cadres. Why don't we just swap? How about that? You come and sit in the office all day being a so-called official, and I'll go down and be this majestic town mayor."

Su Yang said, "Sure, but your section-level is the ceiling for our section-level cadres. Let alone me, this town mayor, even the county magistrate would probably have to watch your micro-expressions when seeing you."

Ning Shu Yue giggled and said, "You are really interesting. Chatting with you can make people feel extremely happy. However, it's early in the morning, and I don't have time to keep chatting with you. I want to tell you that the matter you mentioned is basically settled. If everything goes smoothly, the person you want can come to your town to report for duty next week."

"By the way, you still haven't told me who it is. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to call you this morning."

Su Yang immediately said, "Oh, his name is Sun Chengjun, and he is a squadron leader of the Public Security Brigade of the Chengguan Branch."

Ning Shu Yue then gave a hum, "Okay, I know. Remember, you owe me another favor. Remember to pay it back later, okay?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely pay it back. If I really can't pay it back, I'll pay it back with my body."

"Pah! Who asked you to pay it back with your body? You're thinking too beautifully. Even if you're willing, I'm not!" Ning Shu Yue hung up the phone directly after saying that.

Su Yang then called Sun Chengjun. Sun Chengjun answered after the phone rang once.

Su Yang got straight to the point, "Do you want to come to our Huatian Town to be the police station director?"

Sun Chengjun on the other end was clearly stunned for a moment. He knew Su Yang had come to Huatian Town to be the town mayor, but could a town mayor have such great energy?

If he were currently at the Jincheng County Public Security Bureau, then finding various connections to get him over to be the director would make sense, but this is thousands of miles away.

This kind of transfer usually cannot even be handled by the deputy minister of the county organization department, because it crosses too many departments, unless he has connections in the city.

After being stunned for a long time, he said, "Of course I'm willing! You don't know how much humiliation I suffer here every day. I have to look at people's faces, and if I'm not careful, I get scolded. I dream of leaving this ghost place. Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Su Yang said, "When have I ever lied to you? Or rather, when did you stop trusting me? We are brothers who can entrust our backs to each other at any time."

Sun Chengjun then said with gratitude, "Then when can I go over? I really don't want to stay here anymore. I am penniless and have nothing. At most, I can treat you to a drink when I get there."

Su Yang said, "Why are we talking about this between us? When you come, I'll throw a welcome party for you. Uh, you prepare yourself; it should be next week. However, the old rule applies: keep this matter absolutely confidential until you receive the transfer order, so as not to cause extra trouble."

Sun Chengjun said, "Don't worry, I understand this."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tai knocked on the door and came in, saying, "The Town Party Committee meeting will be held in ten minutes. This meeting was proposed by Secretary Qin. The agenda is about post-disaster reconstruction work, the establishment of the apple processing plant, and the brewing of candidates for Executive Vice Town Mayor." ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
