Chapter 427
After Su Yang finished speaking, he started the car first and drove to the entrance of the Shuishui Township Government.
Gao Peixia and the other short-haired porcelain doll girl got into their Crown and followed behind.
Su Yang looked through the rearview mirror and saw that this Crown was still brand new. In this era, the family conditions of those with private cars are not ordinary. Families with conditions shouldn't arrange their own daughters to work in the Poverty Alleviation Office, right?
Although some jobs are assigned by exams now. But in fact, children from families with real connections still have room for operation. Most of them go to work in municipal departments, and very few go to county units.
Not to mention coming to the township to work. A girl coming to work in such a remote place really doesn't fit the logic of normal people.
A moment later, Su Yang's car stopped at the entrance of the Shuishui Township Government.
The Shuishui Township Government courtyard is simply heaven and earth compared to Huatian Town. Huatian Town was glorious once, so the office building was a five-story small building, while Shuishui Township was all bungalows, and the gate was that kind of pure brick-built two gate pillars, with an arch on top, which was an arch made of steel bars, with a few big characters 'Shuishui Township Government' welded on it.
Even in the city, the feeling it gave him was that this was a product of the 1990s. Now, although many places are still below the poverty line, the gate of the township government is their facade, and the gate of the township government must be built quite wide.
But Shuishui Township couldn't even pretend to be one.
While thinking, the Crown also followed up. After Gao Peixia got off the car and came over with the porcelain doll, seeing the state of Shuishui Township, she couldn't help but frown.
The porcelain doll ran to Su Yang's side and said, "Hello Director Su, when Director Fang told us to follow the Deputy Director down to work, I thought it was an old man. If I had known you were so young and handsome, we would have gone to report to you last night."
Su Yang thought to himself, what kind of talk is this? If you are young and handsome, you will find me at night? Even if you give me a chance, I don't have time.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xie Siyang. I am very happy to work with Director Su. Please take care of me in the future."
Saying this, she stretched out her dazzlingly white hand to shake Su Yang's hand.
Su Yang shook it lightly. From the way these two spoke and acted, he judged roughly that Gao Peixia was likely from the county seat, and her parents were also likely grassroots cadres, because her speech and actions were standard, but she didn't show any constraint or ignorance of the system.
This Xie Siyang seemed relatively lively, without any stereotypical performance of those in the system. She should be a child from an elite family.
She wanted to be friends with the leader generously, without any boundaries. If used well, this kind of person is also quite good. If not used well, she might explode a thunder for you.
"Alright, I need your support in the future. The three of us will be grasshoppers on the same rope from now on."
"If the work is not done well, you can't run, and I can't run either."
"It's already 11 o'clock, let's go in directly. I called Secretary Lu before I came."
Saying this, the three of Su Yang walked into the township government courtyard. It was called a township government courtyard, but it actually felt like a dilapidated rural courtyard.
Although the area was not small, one could see the traces of mottling, and the blue bricks paved on the ground were broken in some places, and it was pitted everywhere.
If the hardware conditions were not good, it could be justified. After all, there was no money, and a clever woman couldn't cook without rice.
However, the garbage seen everywhere in the courtyard was inexcusable. Instant noodle bags, mineral water bottles, cigarette boxes discarded everywhere, and he even saw a condom in the corner of an office door.
Su Yang thought to himself, what kind of place is this? Is this still what a township government should look like? And he glanced at the door of this office, and it actually hung the sign of the Township Mayor.
The sign was written with red paint, and now it was cracked.
In his heart, he had a preliminary understanding of this person, Cui Mingjiu.
Finally, he followed the signs and found the sign of the Township Party Committee Secretary in the most corner position. He knocked on the door for a long time but didn't hear any movement. He leaned on the windowsill and looked, but there was no one inside.
He could only look for people office by office, but he pushed open seven or eight office doors in succession, and there was no one inside.
Just as he was about to ask the relevant staff in the county for the Township Party Committee Secretary's mobile phone number, an office door was opened, and a bald head wearing red underpants with his bare chest popped out, stretched his neck and shouted, "Knock, knock, knock, what are you knocking for? Can't you let people sleep in the early morning?"
Su Yang was stunned when he heard this. This is a place to work, it is the People's Government. It's past eleven o'clock and it's still early morning, can't you let people sleep? Do you think this is your home?
The office of a township-level unit is relatively large, and there are beds inside.
Not many people working in the township are locals. Most of them are in the county seat or other places. So besides going home on weekends, they work and eat and live in the township government during normal work and duty.
So the office is a place to work, and also a place to live. So most people still cook in the office after get off work, and it is common for friends to drink and play cards together at night.
But no matter what, you still have to get up and go to work as usual before eight o'clock in the morning. At the latest, you will enter the work state between eight-thirty and nine o'clock.
At the very least, you have to be dressed neatly.
But this bald head was too much. It was already past eleven o'clock and he was still wearing red underpants, bare-chested and shouting there.
This is just because Su Yang and the others came to work. If the common people came to handle things, one could imagine what his attitude would be.
"I'm looking for Secretary Lu, is he here?" Su Yang didn't reveal his identity, but asked very politely.
But the bald head was not polite at all. Not only did he not answer, but he asked, "What are you doing? What are you looking for Lu Kai for?"
Xie Siyang said, "We are from the County Poverty Alleviation Office. We came here to connect work today. We called Secretary Lu before. Where did he go?"
When the bald head heard that they were staff from the county, not only did he not show seriousness, but according to logic, he should have shrunk back, dressed neatly, and come out to greet the county staff and talk about work.
But he actually fixed those green eyes on Xie Siyang and Gao Peixia, looked them up and down a few times, and then said with a mocking tone, "Why did the county come to our bird-pooping place?"
"Why come to alleviate poverty? Did you bring money? Or did you bring relief food and relief clothes?"
"Coming empty-handed, what kind of poverty are you alleviating?"
This question made the three of Su Yang dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that this was a township government staff member. How could he be exactly the same as those lazy people who only want to eat and not work?
If everyone is of this quality, how can they serve the people? They are simply the grandfathers of the people.
Su Yang couldn't help but ask, "Are you a staff member here? What are you responsible for?"
The bald head said, "What do you care what I am responsible for? I told you Lu Kai is not here, he just went out. You guys do whatever you should do, come back in the afternoon."
At this time, Gao Peixia still asked patiently, "Is Township Mayor Cui here? We can look for Township Mayor Cui too."
The bald head scanned Xie Siyang and Gao Peixia wantonly. If it weren't for waiting to ask for the whereabouts of the Township Mayor, Su Yang would have wanted to slap him.
He suppressed his anger, took a 'Hade Men' cigarette from his pocket, handed it over, and lit it with a lighter.
The bald head took a fierce puff, and then said, "Township Mayor Cui definitely won't be here at this time. Why would he come to the township government if he has nothing to do? It's already time to eat. If you want to find Township Mayor Cui, go to the restaurant outside."
"If not, he must be playing mahjong."
"However, don't blame me for not reminding you. Township Mayor Cui generally doesn't like to be disturbed whether he is eating or playing cards."
