Chapter 2738

Only then did Zhai Yingjie wake up as if from a dream. He sat down and said, "Mayor Su, did you do all this?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Yes, I handled a secondment procedure for you. For the time being, you are not yet on the municipal government motor pool's payroll and are still a temporary worker. But don't worry, it won't be long before I resolve all of this for you."

Zhai Yingjie puffed out his chest and said, "Mayor Su, even if I remain a temporary worker forever, I am willing to do it. Following you, I feel at ease!"

Su Xinghui smiled, nodded, and said, "I believe you. However, I still have a few requirements to tell you."

Zhai Yingjie said, "Whatever requirements you have, just say them, I will definitely fulfill them."

Su Xinghui said, "I know that your experiences after being discharged from the military were somewhat unpleasant, and your impression of some people in the municipal government might not be good, especially Zhang Heping. But now that you have entered the municipal government, don't pursue these matters anymore. I hope you will get along well with everyone else."

To be honest, when Zhai Yingjie entered the municipal government, he originally had some thoughts of holding his head high, but now, upon hearing Su Xinghui's words, he immediately felt a chill.

Zhai Yingjie was a steady person. Even if he hadn't been so steady before, his experiences since returning to Baozhou and his time running that barbecue stall had made him steady.

Zhai Yingjie immediately nodded and said, "Mayor Su, don't worry, I will definitely not smear your face."

Su Xinghui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Fine, then go to the office and handle some paperwork with Director Bian."

Zhai Yingjie nodded and went out.

Zhai Yingjie coming to the municipal government to be Su Xinghui's driver meant that Su Xinghui finally had a driver he could trust. This matter did not cause too much of a stir in the municipal government.

Although Zhai Yingjie's spot had been taken by someone else back then, that was the personal behavior of a municipal leader. Other municipal leaders had no ill feelings toward Zhai Yingjie, and Su Xinghui's handling of this matter could be considered quiet; he just processed a secondment procedure and brought Zhai Yingjie in.

If Su Xinghui had made a big fuss, there might have been someone to object, but now that he was just seconding a temporary worker, no one would make things difficult for him over such a small matter.

And he did not hold onto the matter of Zhang Heping taking Zhai Yingjie's spot, insisting that Zhang Heping give up the spot. This did not provoke a backlash from the Zhang family, though Zhang Heping being discarded by the leadership again could be considered somewhat awkward.

Fortunately, this wasn't his first time, so the awkwardness was limited. However, the fact that the person replacing him to drive for Su Xinghui was Zhai Yingjie—that was truly somewhat awkward.

When Zhang Heping handed the car keys to Zhai Yingjie, he had already prepared himself psychologically for Zhai Yingjie to say something unpleasant. Who knew that Zhai Yingjie acted as if there had never been any hatred between them, took the keys from his hand indifferently, and even said "Thank you."

This made Zhang Heping almost unable to believe his own ears. Zhai Yingjie would say thank you to him? Had the sun risen from the west?

After Zhai Yingjie entered the municipal government motor pool, he was very diligent. The next day, he arrived at the municipal government early in the morning, fetched a basin of water, and wiped the Audi he drove until it was spotlessly clean. He also performed some checks and adjustments on the vehicle; having been a special forces soldier in the military, he was, of course, very knowledgeable about vehicle performance.

Zhang Heping had not been as careful as him before; he often wouldn't wash the car for a week, and he didn't understand vehicle performance as well as Zhai Yingjie. If there were any small problems, he wouldn't know how to adjust them in time. This was one of the reasons why he was not liked by the leaders.

When the other drivers arrived one after another, Zhai Yingjie greeted them warmly one by one and offered them cigarettes, which gave the other drivers a very good impression of him.

When other people from the office arrived, Zhai Yingjie greeted them just as warmly, without the slightest bit of arrogance because he had been transferred by Mayor Su's new order.

When Bian Shuangxi came to work, Zhai Yingjie greeted him even more enthusiastically, calling out "Good morning, Director Bian," which made Bian Shuangxi look at him with new eyes and even nod to him specifically.

Bian Shuangxi specifically looked at the Audi next to Zhai Yingjie; the car was wiped so clean that Bian Shuangxi was also very surprised. When Zhang Heping was there before, he hadn't been that diligent. He was a rich kid to begin with, and making him do these things was not his strength.

It seems this Zhai Yingjie is still quite good, a thought flashed through Bian Shuangxi's mind. However, he also knew that observing a person is not a matter of a few days; one still had to look at long-term performance.

After Su Xinghui came to work and processed some documents, he took Xia Song and got into the car driven by Zhai Yingjie. This morning, he was going to the Radio and Television Bureau.

Zhai Yingjie waited for Su Xinghui and Xia Song to get into the car, then started the engine and drove toward the Radio and Television Bureau.

Zhai Yingjie's driving skills were truly excellent; he drove the car fast, yet very steadily, without feeling any bumps at all. This made Su Xinghui very satisfied. Zhang Heping's driving was actually not bad, but he always had the desire to show off and drove very aggressively.

For a driver who drives for a leader to be so unsteady, it's no wonder no one liked to use him.

In fact, the Zhang family letting Zhang Heping come to the municipal government to drive for leaders was an incorrect choice from the start. He was suited to be a playboy, driving luxury cars to race; his temperament was simply not suited for this line of work.

Xia Song smiled and said, "Yingjie, did you wipe the car this morning?"

Zhai Yingjie said, "Yes, I saw there was quite a lot of dust on the car, so I wiped it once this morning."

Xia Song said, "You are quite diligent!"

Zhai Yingjie said, "Back when I was a soldier, whenever we returned to the barracks after a training mission, we had to wipe the vehicles clean, otherwise we would be scolded by the instructor, so I developed the habit."

Xia Song nodded and said, "That's a very good habit."

Zhai Yingjie stopped talking and focused on driving.

Su Xinghui was truly satisfied. This morning, as soon as he arrived, he saw Zhai Yingjie chatting and laughing with his colleagues in the motor pool, not at all like someone who had just been transferred to the municipal government motor pool, without the slightest bit of restraint.

And Zhai Yingjie wiping the car so clean was far superior to Zhang Heping. The car Zhang Heping drove was often so dirty that one couldn't bear to look at it before he would wipe it once. In this day and age, there were no car washes in Baozhou, so cars had to be washed by oneself. In such cold weather, washing a car was truly a bitter chore. How could a rich kid like Zhang Heping be that diligent?

Judging from Zhai Yingjie's actions today, he had indeed firmly kept in mind what he had said yesterday. Having such a driver could be considered Su Xinghui's good fortune.
