Chapter 839: with translation of chapter title

Zhou Yanru and Hou Junlai were taken aback for a moment; it was really too sudden for them.

Zhou Yanru and Hou Junlai didn't react in time; this was really too sudden for them.

The impression Li Lingyu had left in their minds was that being able to keep her current position this time already counted as Su Yang saving her once.

Before, the impression Li Lingyu left in their minds was that being able to keep her current post this time already counted as Su Yang saving her once.

Now they also want Li Lingyu to concurrently serve as Party Secretary of Shuangou Town; that seems like the promotion track is opening a bit too wide.

Now they also want Li Lingyu to concurrently serve as Town Party Committee Secretary of Shuanggou Town; this seems like the promotion channel is opening a bit too wide.

Moreover, Li Lingyu's age... Could it be that Su Yang really likes this kind of mature woman?

And Li Lingyu's current age…… could it be that Su Yang really likes this mature type?

Thinking of that, their gazes weren't right; they stared blankly at Su Yang.

Thinking this, their gazes turned odd, staring blankly at Su Yang.

Seeing their expressions, Su Yang knew what they were thinking, and at the same time gained a new appreciation for Chen Bo's cleverness.

Su Yang, seeing their eyes, knew what they were thinking, and also gained a new appreciation of Chen Bo's cleverness.

"Yes, it's Comrade Li Lingyu. Her previous issues were merely blindly following the crowd, with no principled mistakes. Besides, she is indeed conscientious and responsible in her work. Given her situation, if she can smoothly enter the Standing Committee, I think it would also bring other benefits for us, and she would work even harder in the future."

"Yes, it's Comrade Li Lingyu. Her previous issues were actually just blindly following the crowd, no principled mistakes. Plus she is indeed conscientious about work, and given her situation, if she can smoothly enter the Standing Committee, I think it would also bring other benefits for us; she will work harder in the future."

"Speaking of which, anyone could make a mistake; we shouldn't beat down those who have erred. Training a cadre is not easy; we shouldn't treat them differently just because of a minor flaw, nor completely shadow their future."

"Step back: anyone could make a mistake; don't beat to death those who have erred. Training a cadre is not easy; we shouldn't treat them differently over a minor flaw, completely shadowing their future."

"Hey, you two old comrades shouldn't look at me like that. At my age I don't have that kind of hobby, and I have a fiancée; we're getting married at year's end. With my loyal and steadfast character, you don't need to doubt me—now, or in the future. I will absolutely not make any mistake in this matter; I simply value her ability."

"Hey, I tell you two old comrades not to look at me like that; I'm not into that at my age, and I have a fiancée, we'll marry at year's end. With my loyal character, you needn't doubt me now or later. I will absolutely make no mistake in this matter; I simply value her ability."

Chen Bo's mouth curled into a slight smile, thinking to himself: "You fancy the county head's ability? That's strange."

Chen Bo's mouth curled into a slight arc, thinking: "If you favor the County Magistrate's ability, that's strange."

However, some things Su Yang didn't say outright, so she didn't voice them either. After all, he's worked in the Municipal Organization Department for many years; even if he doesn't fully grasp a situation, he can get a general idea.

However, some things Su Yang didn't spell out, so she didn't say them either. After all, he's worked in the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department for years; even if he doesn't fully grasp a situation, he can still get a rough idea.

"Alright, you two shouldn't view County Mayor Su with colored glasses; Su County Mayor is a man of integrity, and I believe that. Moreover, following what he just said, we should add this County Li as a backup option."

"Alright, you two also shouldn't view County Magistrate Su through colored lenses; County Magistrate Su is a man of integrity, I believe that. Moreover, following what he just said, we should add this County Magistrate Li as a backup option."

Su Yang concluded: "Thank you for your understanding. For tomorrow's selection of Party Secretary of Shuangou Town, we first recommend Shuangou Town Mayor Zhang Lei and the Organization Department's Executive Deputy Minister Jin Xiang. If these two comrades are directly rejected, we will directly nominate Comrade Li Lingyu."

Su Yang concluded: "Thanks for everyone's understanding. For tomorrow's Shuanggou Town Party Committee Secretary, we first recommend Shuanggou Town Mayor Zhang Lei and Executive Vice Minister of the Organization Department Jin Xiang. If these two comrades are directly passed over, we will directly put forward Comrade Li Lingyu."

"I think he won't be able to directly veto Comrade Li Lingyu then. Besides, coincidentally they're also here, right? The highway project is basically settled, but we also need to raise two hundred million yuan in funds, so this is a good chance for everyone to think of solutions."

"I think by then he won't easily veto Comrade Li Lingyu. Besides, didn't they all come just now? The highway project is basically settled, but we also need to raise two hundred million yuan; this is also a chance for everyone to brainstorm solutions."

"Also, the Yingbin Avenue project needs money; earlier, just us few people simply discussed things briefly without deep consideration. So as for what the Yingbin Avenue design should look like and how much it will cost, ultimately we still need our County Mayor Zhao to make the final decision."

"The Yingbin Avenue project also needs money; earlier, just us few people simply discussed many things without deep consideration. So as for what design the Yingbin Avenue should have, how much money it will cost, ultimately we still need County Magistrate Zhao to have the final say."

Chen Bo and the three others nodded slightly. "Exactly, since you want to convene the Standing Committee to suppress the prestige we've built, we might as well toss the tough problems to you."

Chen Bo and the two others nodded slightly: "Exactly, since you want to convene the Standing Committee to suppress the prestige we've built, we might as well toss the tough problems to you."

The next morning they gathered, and Su Yang waited for the Standing Committee meeting, but after waiting a long time he still hadn't heard anything about the meeting, and he was puzzled.

The next morning, Su Yang waited for the Standing Committee meeting, but after waiting a long time he still hadn't heard any notice of a meeting, and he wondered.

At that moment, Finance Bureau Chief Sun Kangyao and Public Security Bureau Chief Lao Mo arrived.

At that moment, Finance Bureau Director Sun Kangyao and Public Security Bureau Director Lao Mo arrived.

"I say, you two seem to have arranged this together? Is there some important matter that brought you both here?"

"I say, did you two arrange to come together? Is there some important situation?"

Su Yang made a joke, then personally brewed tea for the two.

Su Yang made a joke, then personally brewed tea for the two.

Lao Mo and Sun Kangyao exchanged glances; Lao Mo said: "This morning I just went to work when County Mayor Zhao called me in for a talk. First he asked about our Public Security Bureau's situation, then he inquired about our recent work plans. After I reported as he wished, he seemed dissatisfied. Finally, he specifically asked how long until I retire; I think County Mayor Zhao has ideas about the Public Security Bureau."

Lao Mo and Sun Kangyao exchanged a glance; Lao Mo said: "This morning I just went to work, when County Magistrate Zhao summoned me for a talk, first asking about our Public Security Bureau's situation, then inquiring about some recent work plans of the bureau. After I reported according to his wishes, he seemed very dissatisfied. Finally, he specifically asked how long until I retire; I sense County Magistrate Zhao may have ideas about the Public Security Bureau."

Su Yang nodded slightly, then turned to Sun Kangyao: "Bureau Chief Sun, what's the situation on your end?"

Su Yang nodded slightly, then looked at Sun Kangyao: "Director Sun, what's the situation on your side?"

Sun Kangyao said: "County Mayor Jiang personally came to our Finance Bureau this morning, meeting with the deputy director and various section chiefs to discuss work. Finally he spoke with me alone, meaning that from now on the financial work of Lieshan County will be under his responsibility, so our Finance Bureau must report everything to him, including all fund expenditures, which must bear his signature."

Sun Kangyao said: "County Magistrate Su, this morning County Magistrate Jiang personally came to our Finance Bureau, chatting with the deputy director and each section's responsible comrades about work. Finally he spoke with me alone, meaning that from now on the financial work of Lieshan County will be under his charge, so our Finance Bureau must report everything to him, including all fund expenditures needing his signature."

Su Yang hummed: "Whether it's County Mayor Zhao or our County Mayor Jiang, their dedication and enthusiasm for work far exceed our imagination. I originally thought they'd wait in the office for district and township leaders to report, but they also said it's reasonable—even paying attention to Lao Mo's situation and taking over the Finance Bureau is fine."

Su Yang hummed: "Whether it's County Magistrate Zhao or our County Magistrate Jiang, their dedication and enthusiasm for work far exceed our imagination. I originally thought they'd wait in the office for district leaders and township cadres to report work, but they also make sense; even paying attention to Lao Mo's situation and taking over the Finance Bureau is fine."

"If Bureau Chief Sun doesn't cooperate, he has grounds to request an adjustment. So for now we should report to him as required; that follows organizational procedure. As for specifics, I think we'll soon hold a County Mayor's office meeting, where we'll assign the relevant tasks, and then we can discuss further."

"If Director Sun doesn't cooperate here, he has grounds to request adjustment. So for now we should report to him as required, which follows organizational procedure. But specifically, I think we'll soon convene a County Mayor's Office meeting, then distribute the related work, and we'll discuss it then."

After seeing off the two bureau chiefs, Shi Haoyun knocked and entered: "County Mayor Su, Yao Daya, the Party Secretary of Guantan Gou Town, just went to report work to County Mayor Zhao. No wonder he had that attitude earlier; it seems he already knew County Mayor Zhao."

After seeing off the two bureau chiefs, Shi Haoyun knocked and entered: "County Magistrate Su, Comrade Yao Daya, the Town Party Committee Secretary of Guantan Gou Zhen, just went to report work to County Magistrate Zhao. No wonder he had that attitude earlier; now it seems he already knew County Magistrate Zhao."

Su Yang said: "He's an old comrade, so he wouldn't pick a fight he couldn't win. Reporting work is perfectly fine; besides Yao Daya, I think each town's Party Secretary, mayor, and each bureau chief should go report to County Mayor Zhao."

Su Yang said: "He's an old comrade, surely he won't pick a fight he can't win. Reporting work is fine; I think besides Yao Daya, each town's Party Committee Secretary, mayor, and bureau chiefs should go report to County Magistrate Zhao."

"So you need to get used to this phenomenon. Previously I was in charge of the whole county's work, and it was normal for comrades to come to me. Now I'm merely a deputy county mayor, so you should try to adjust your mindset. Moreover, the burden on your shoulders is lighter, work is less, free time is more—aren't you happy?"

"So, you need to get used to this phenomenon. Before, I was in charge of the whole county's work, so some comrades coming to me was normal. Now I'm just a Vice County Magistrate, so you should try to adjust your mindset. Moreover, the burden on your shoulders is lighter, work is less, free time more—aren't you happy?"

They were still talking when Jia Qiang knocked and entered: "County Mayor Su, County Mayor Zhao says he'll convene the County Party Standing Committee at 3 p. m. this afternoon; before that we'll hold a County Mayor's office meeting. Do we need to make any preparations? If necessary, I'll present our current situation at the meeting; if possible, I'd still like you to take charge of the Public Security Bureau."

As they were speaking, Jiao Qiang knocked and entered: "County Magistrate Su, County Magistrate Zhao says he'll convene the County Party Standing Committee at 3 p. m. this afternoon, preceded by a County Mayor's Office meeting. Do we need to make any preparations? If necessary, I'll outline our current situation at the meeting; if possible, I'd still like you to take charge of the Public Security Bureau."

Su Yang said: "No need. The County Magistrate's office meeting, frankly, is just Zhao County Magistrate assigning us work. No matter how they arrange it, we can only obey, so you shouldn't think too much either. However, I estimate your position as Director of the County Government Office might be taken away, so prepare yourself mentally."
