Chapter 620

Okay, since that's the case, then we'll just have someone go directly to the Lie Shan Public Security Bureau to file a report.

And directly go to the newly arrived Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Sun Chengjun, to file a report. Because although Su Yang's arrival this time hasn't yet seen the county government team's division of labor meeting convened, in practice his division of labor has already been made clear.

The Lie Shan Public Security Bureau should be his point of contact, and once the report is made to Sun Chengjun's side, he can only go look for Su Yang. I'll see whether Su Yang dares to stir up trouble for the Geng family, dares to go head-to-head with Geng Miao and them.

The old man slowly turned around: "Alright, this matter is settled like that, but at the start don't go too heavy-handed, otherwise it might end up leaving everyone unable to save face."

My years of persistent reporting have only yielded a hope of possibly toppling Geng Miao; we cannot ruin the big picture because of our impatience for quick results.

Now Shuangqu Daqu has already fallen from its pedestal, sales are far below what they used to be; the reason it still looks okay is essentially that it owes money to raw material suppliers, and then it has poured all the money earned in previous years into potentially profitable ventures like entertainment and catering.

Then, when necessary, they just scrape together some money to plug the hole.

If it's really just that, I don't need to keep submitting report materials to higher-ups over and over.

The key is they simply don't do proper business; they force the common people to use their products and make the common people bear their high-interest loans.

His behavior, from a duty standpoint, amounts to loss of state assets and transfer of property; from a societal perspective it is illegal and criminal.

Alright, let's stop here for today; you can go back. From now on, if there's nothing, don't come here anymore—we've entered a sensitive period, so you need to be careful in all aspects.

The next afternoon, the county government held a division of labor meeting for the government team.

Logically, Su Yang's division of work for this posting was already set long ago, but even though it's decided, the procedure still needs to be followed.

Moreover, isn't holding meetings exactly what the leaders love most? Everyone, whether they have business or not, sits down to hold a meeting; if they get sick of meetings, they go out for an inspection—wherever there are local specialties they go inspect, wherever there are seasonal fruits and game they go inspect.

Su Yang arrived early at the meeting room; after all, he's a newcomer, so he tried to unite with the comrades as much as possible, and thus united with them.

He needed to appear modest and low-key; otherwise, truly fighting alone, he wouldn't even know how he'd die.

He had just found a seat near the corner when he saw two men and a woman talking as they walked in.

They saw Su Yang already in the meeting room, blinked slightly, then the leading short-statured man said: "County Magistrate Su has already arrived; it looks like we're the laggards today."

"Hello, County Magistrate Su, let me introduce myself—I'm Jin Kailai; behind me is the tall, slim Vice County Magistrate Liang Yu, and this female comrade is Li Lingyu."

After he finished speaking, Liang Yu and Li Lingyu also smiled and greeted Su Yang: "Hello, County Magistrate Su!" "County Magistrate Su, you came really early!"

Su Yang stood up and greeted the few people: "I'm just a newcomer, wanting to get familiar first, but you all showed up."

Jin Kailai laughed and said: "County Magistrate Su, last night you became famous in one battle—you alone took on eight people drinking a round, and yet you were completely fine."

"When the chance comes another day, I'll definitely give you face, so we also get a chance to bond with County Magistrate Su."

"They say shaking hands ten times isn't as good as one drink; our revolutionary friendship must be tested by alcohol."

The sole female vice county magistrate, Li Lingyu, also giggled and said: "Don't give us that line—County Magistrate Su is here to get familiar with work, not to get familiar with drinking."

Just as they were talking, the standing vice county magistrate Gao Hai, wearing a Zhongshan suit, holding a teacup, walked in with a duck-footed gait.

Seeing this, Su Yang stood up and said: "Hello, County Magistrate Gao!"

The others also stood up, following with a question mark: "Hello, County Magistrate Gao!"

Although everyone here is a vice county magistrate, his status is not something those present can compare to.

Gao Hai seemed quite pleased with Su Yang's attitude, he slightly nodded: "Looks like everyone's here now; with Comrade Su Yang's arrival, our team's work enthusiasm has increased considerably."

"I think Comrade Su Yang still came late; if he'd come a year and a half earlier, our team's combat effectiveness could probably be raised another notch."

"This year's economic development task is heavy; forget it, treat my words as unsaid—it's already year-end, and next year's task will be heavy too, so by then we'll all need to pull together to lift our economy up another level."

"To be frank, before Comrade Su Yang arrived, I was under especial pressure, because according to superior demands—or rather, the superiors' hope—that we achieve steady growth."

"But actually everyone knows, wanting to control economic growth well isn't that easy; aside from falsifying data, there's no other way."

"Fortunately our county still has Shuangqu Daqu to prop us up; as long as we maintain good relations with General Manager Geng and them, next year's GDP can still inch upward."

"I've heard Comrade Su Yang is also an ace at economics; in this area, he should really contribute more to our county government team."

"After all, you have successful experience, unlike us—we either know nothing about economics, or we're old and our energy can't keep up."

"Or else it's like me—willing but unable, after all a person's energy is always limited."

His seemingly joking remarks actually carried multiple meanings; everyone present was sharp-witted, so they naturally understood.

Su Yang naturally sensed this as clearly as a mirror: from the day he officially took office yesterday, every occasion he experienced, every leader's opening and closing remarks, inevitably brought up Shuangqu Daqu.

It sounds as if, without Shuangqu Daqu and without Geng Miao, Lieshan County would be paralyzed.

But he didn't say much more, just smiling: "Please rest assured, County Magistrate Gao; I'm here to lend a hand to the leaders—once you set the tone and point the direction, I'll buckle down and work hard."

"In economic terms, the modest results I've achieved are negligible if placed in the county; thus I still need everyone's extensive guidance."

These humble-sounding words truly made the few people present feel much more at ease; this attitude is just right.

Facing Gao Hai, although Su Yang is also a standing committee member, his ranking in the team is surely behind; being modest toward Gao Hai is appropriate.

Moreover, the youngest of the other comrades is already 40, which in the Lieshan County government team counts as senior; Su Yang, a twenty-something young comrade, should also respect the elders.

The few people seemed harmonious and the atmosphere extremely amicable, just short of launching a round of mutual business praise.

Just then, County Magistrate Wen Qiren arrived punctually with a stack of documents: "You're all here; it seems Comrade Su Yang's vigor has energized our team's enthusiasm. You've been chatting for half a day, so I suppose I don't need to introduce you all to each other here."

"I think we should just get straight to the point."

"Today we're holding this government team division of labor meeting; according to superior instructions and our county's actual situation, we will adjust work as follows……"
