Chapter 546: Who will shelter you from the wind and rain in the future

A rank higher than others crushes people; Su Yang only felt awkward and uncomfortable at this moment.

Putting aside their private relationships, if a Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary wants to stay and talk to them about work, who can accept that?

He was fine, but the original township party committee members didn't have very clean hands and feet. This time, because both Cui Mingjiu and Lu Kai were taken down, they didn't take everyone down in one pot so as not to affect normal work.

Now that you, the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary, are staying here, what if you want to settle accounts?

"Secretary Fang, why don't we go to the conference room, and you can tell us a few words so that we can also deeply study the spirit of the Discipline Inspection Commission's clean government education."

Su Yang was just making conversation; he said this to break the awkwardness.

"No need, I just want to talk to you about work-related matters. The other comrades should go busy themselves with their own work."

Fang Jingwen said without a smile.

Hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They didn't want to be targeted by this Secretary Fang or be left behind for a talk.

For people in the system, let alone being invited to the Discipline Inspection Commission for verification, even being called over by the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary for a private talk was more than those with fragile hearts could handle.

Originally, if someone had serious business with them and let them understand a certain situation, they could be scared into confessing who they slept with last night and what they ate for dinner.

At the same time, the looks they gave Su Yang had a few more strange expressions, and each of them thought: Did this Su Yang commit some offense again?

This guy looks like he's in the limelight; could it be that his problems were discovered? And it was inconvenient to take action directly because the big leader was there just now?

This kind of situation hadn't happened before, especially on such a grand occasion. The County Committee also wanted face. If they really took action against a key cadre at this time, what would the people above think of them?

But thinking this way wasn't appropriate. Rumor has it that one of Secretary Su's backers in the county is this Secretary Fang.

But if that's really the case, why is she speaking with a straight face? Shouldn't she look very kind?

Su Yang didn't care what this group of people thought; if you don't do anything wrong, you don't fear ghosts knocking at your door.

And now facing Fang Jingwen, he basically adopted a strategy of using stillness to control movement—speak less, provoke less, and be less proactive.

As for what Fang Jingwen wanted to do, he couldn't stop her; he could only meet moves with moves.

However, he wasn't too worried at the moment. After all, he was in the township government courtyard, and even if they went to the office later, Fang Jingwen shouldn't do anything out of line.

Thinking this, he pushed open the office door and invited Fang Jingwen in.

At the same time, he signaled for Li Xiangdong to follow. Why did he do this? Because they were both young cadres, and staying in an office with the door closed for a long time would only lead to gossip.

Normally, in this situation, there should be a third person present to avoid suspicion.

But Li Xiangdong had only taken two steps forward when he heard Fang Jingwen say, "I just said I wanted to talk to Comrade Su Yang alone."

Li Xiangdong touched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say, and could only look at Su Yang with longing eyes.

At this time, Su Yang said solemnly, "Township Head Li, you say you are a comrade with high awareness on weekdays, so why are you being confused this time? Secretary Fang just said she wanted to talk to me alone about work, so why are you following in? This is just because I've been too lenient with you on weekdays, and you have no sense of boundaries."

Li Xiangdong was stunned by what was said. Didn't you signal me to follow just now? Why is it all my fault now? Could it be that I misunderstood your meaning?

Although he thought this in his heart, his footsteps stopped abruptly, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Secretary Fang, would you like tea or coffee? Oh, sorry, the conditions here are difficult. How about I brew you a cup of tea?"

Su Yang found a disposable cup and poured a cup of tea for Fang Jingwen.

Fang Jingwen didn't refuse. She sat in Su Yang's chair and carefully examined Su Yang's office environment.

"The conditions in Xiushui Township are indeed a bit difficult. The reason I let you come here in the first place was because I valued your spirit of enduring hardship and your courage. Of course, an important point is that you have corresponding background and resources. If it were someone else, I estimate they would have been driven away by Cui Mingjiu and the others within two days."

"To be honest, although I had expectations for you to do this poverty alleviation work, I didn't have such high hopes. I didn't expect you to achieve such great results. I, as the Poverty Alleviation Office Director, have also followed you in basking in the glory."

"The Poverty Alleviation Office is actually a nominal position. Even if you achieve some results, it won't be of much help to your future. What are your plans for the future?"

These words really surprised Su Yang. He originally thought that when Fang Jingwen came, he didn't know what kind of trouble she would cause.

Given the precedent that Fang Jingwen would find trouble for him every time, he had already prepared how to defend himself this time.

But he never expected that she was genuinely concerned this time.

He thought for a long while before saying, "I think this position in the Poverty Alleviation Office is also very good. At the very least, it allowed me to solve some problems for the common people of Xiushui Township in this position. As for future development, I haven't considered too much; I just want to do the work at hand well."

"I haven't been in Xiushui Township for long. During this time, I've been running outside and haven't properly sorted out the work in the township. Next, I plan to thoroughly straighten out the work in the township. We can't have the scenic area developed while the moral quality of our township staff hasn't kept up, and their work ability and attitude haven't improved."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Jingwen: "Alright, alright, don't tell me these so-called far-sighted words; I've heard more of them than you. I'm asking what your actual plans are? Don't play dumb with me. Your fiancée will probably be transferred by the end of this year or early next year; this is certain. As for where she goes, I estimate it's already been arranged. When she is no longer in the county, what will you do?"

"If you were a normal township cadre, it wouldn't matter; just do your work steadily. But you are different; you offend people wherever you go. Not to mention anything else, you've already offended Deputy Secretary Gao of the Municipal Party Committee to the point of being battered. If Zhou Ruohan were still here, perhaps he wouldn't do anything to you, and even if he did, Zhou Ruohan would find a way to block in front of you. When she is transferred away, who will shelter you from the wind and rain above?"

Su Yang finally understood; it turns out she was asking him to hug a big thigh early.

To be honest, is it necessary? If he continues in his current position, then it certainly is. With someone blocking in front, he can at least do some things with peace of mind.

However, since these words came from Fang Jingwen, he had to think twice. ===== CHAPTER 547 =====
