The Wild Vegetable Processing Plant and the Trading Company are being monitored by Zhu Degang, while Gao Jiajia is keeping an eye on matters related to the Party and Government Office. Qin Chizian, the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office, is becoming increasingly detached.
The office phone rang, and after Gao Jiajia answered it, she covered the receiver and said to Qin Chizian, "Brother Qin, it's for you."
A boy on the phone: "Qin Chizian?" The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Qin Chizian responded: "Hello, it's me. May I ask who's calling?"
"I am Wang Hongqiang from the Chengguan Town Party and government office. We were both at the county personnel department at the same time last year..."
Qin Chizian recalled the boy who sat in the conference room speaking confidently, familiar with Zhang Wentian, the director of the county government, Section Chief Xie from the personnel department, and staff member Cui Li. He was dressed in the brightest and cleanest attire.
Wang Hongqiang continued, "It's been over a year since we reported in, and everyone has been assigned to different positions. A few classmates and I who work here in the county discussed it and decided to organize a gathering. It's set for this Saturday at the county Guesthouse. Everyone will contribute 30 yuan, which covers food, accommodation, and singing... I'll take care of the details."
To be honest, Qin Chizian wasn't keen on attending such gatherings; they weren't close to each other, making both dining and singing awkward. However, Wang Hongqiang's persuasive words were hard to resist: "Xiao Qin, you have to come! I'm leading this effort; if you don't show up, I'll lose face."
Deputy Township Head He Hongmei seemed to still be in a cold war with her husband. She had been eating at work during the day and staying in the office at night. It was said that her husband was busy grading assignments and preparing lessons at school every day and wasn't staying home either.
Their family is basically on the verge of collapse.
On Friday, He Hongmei went to the Party and Government Office to ask Qin Chizian, "Xiao Qin, what's the plan for Saturday? Is your girlfriend coming?"
During this time, the reception task at Huanghe Hotel was quite heavy, and Sister Liu also promoted Aiyaximu. The young girl enthusiastically threw herself into her work, so their original plan to meet once a week changed to once every two weeks.
When I heard that Qin Chizian was going to the county for a gathering on Saturday, He Hongmei showed a happy expression on her face, "I also plan to go to the county for a stroll. When you leave tomorrow, call me and I'll catch a ride with you."
The next morning, the two of them set off. He Hongmei must have dressed carefully, with finely drawn eyebrows, powdered face, and a pleasant perfume scent. Sitting in the passenger seat, she would occasionally pull down the makeup mirror to touch up her face.
Qin Chizian teased her: "Sister He, at first glance, you look like you're only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight."
He Hongmei turned her face, her lips slightly pursed, and said to Qin Chizian: "You're twenty-three this year, right? I'm twenty-eight. Our ages aren't that different..."
Qin Chizian didn't dare to continue the conversation. This woman is now as bold as brass, who knows what she will say next. When they arrived at the Wenyuan County Reception Center, Qin Chizian asked He Hongmei: "Sister He, we're gathering here today, where are you going? I'll take you there."
He Hongmei: She opened the car door and jumped out, saying, "No need, I'm going to meet up with a girlfriend to go shopping. She lives nearby, so I'll just walk there." Then she turned back and asked, "When are you going back? Should I catch a ride with you?"
Qin Chizian: "They said they'll be staying here tonight, so we probably won't be going back until tomorrow."
He Hongmei: As she walked away, she said, "Then I'll come find you again tonight."
"What does this mean? Wang Hongqiang is very formal. Not only did he rent a small meeting room at Wenyuan Guesthouse, but he also brought He Hongjuan and Zhu Lijuan who work at the county government to set up a registration desk, with one person responsible for registration and another person responsible for collecting fees."
After entering the system, everyone seems to be paying special attention to their connections. All twenty-one people actually showed up. Even Yuan Ziqiang, who used to ignore everyone, took the initiative to greet each person.
After everyone checked in, Wang Hongqiang announced the agenda:
1. Each person will give a formal self-introduction and talk about their work at the company over the past year. Discuss how we can unite and support each other in future work.
2. At noon, everyone gathered for a meal in the largest private room at the Guesthouse, enjoying drinks and conversation.
3. Afternoon rest, then went to Wenyuan Lidu to sing, because the facilities there are the most advanced.
4. After a simple dinner back at the Guesthouse, fourteen boys occupied seven rooms, while five girls occupied two rooms (one of which was a triple room).
The next morning, after the buffet breakfast, everyone returned home to their respective families. You wouldn't believe it; once everything was sorted out, it became quite clear.
Wang Hongqiang took the lead and allowed the two girls who stayed at the county government to speak first. She called out He Hongjuan's name, but to everyone's surprise, He Hongjuan stood up and said, "Let's have Teacher Zhu speak first. Teacher Zhu is already prepared to evaluate for the position of Deputy Section Chief!"
Amidst everyone's applause, Zhu Lijuan stood up, no longer feeling the nervousness and uncertainty she had during last year's registration. "Hello everyone, under the guidance of our leaders and with the help of my colleagues, I have achieved some results over the past year. I have recorded minutes for meetings 98 times and drafted 68 documents..."
Next, He Hongjuan spoke: "Over the past year, I have been working hard to learn. Teacher Zhu Lijuan has often provided guidance for my work... Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my special thanks to Teacher Zhu!" After saying this, she actually bowed to Zhu Lijuan, who accepted it gracefully while sitting there.
Sigh, this is what Gathering is all about.
The next speaker, a girl named Han Hongyu, wore heavy makeup that concealed her youthful aura. She had been assigned to the Wenyuan County Department of Transportation. Her speech was as formal as a report: "Dear classmates, under the leadership of Director Wu Jiefeng from the Department of Transportation, our department has achieved significant accomplishments over the past year... The upcoming secondary road from Wenyuan to Baliushu Township, stretching over 70 kilometers, will become a prosperous route for the economic rise of Baliushu. Our esteemed Director Wu Jiefeng has shown great concern for both my personal life and work. I currently serve as the Deputy Director of the office in the Wenyuan County Department of Transportation... I welcome everyone to visit our Department of Transportation for guidance. Thank you!"
Someone whispered, "She's quite the dark horse!"
Han Hongyu finished speaking, and Wang Hongqiang stood up again. "Earlier, Deputy Director Han from the Department of Transportation mentioned Baliushu. Today, our classmate Qin Chizian, who is assigned to Baliushu, is also here. Now, let's invite him to speak."
Qin Chizian rose to his feet. "Hello everyone, my name is Qin Chizian. I currently work at the Party and Government Office of Baliushu Township. For most of the past year, my work has focused on wild vegetables and rattan weaving..."
Yuan Ziqiang, wearing black-framed glasses, interjected, "Brother Qin, I heard from our township leaders that you wrote last year's economic development report for your township?"
Qin Chizian responded, "The report itself is not important; what matters is that the village leaders have taken it seriously, implemented it, and achieved certain results."
Amidst the discussions that followed, voices rose around him:
"The development in Baliushu over the past year has been at a breakneck speed..."
"Did he write that economic report? Is that possible?"
"I also heard our leader mention it; it seems he did write it."
"Not only did he write the report, but he is now also the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office. Moreover, there is no director in the Party and Government Office; he is actually in charge of the work, and he is handling many matters in their village."
Qin Chizian cleared his throat and said, "Hello everyone, I currently have no rank in the village and am just nominally the Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office... mainly because our former Mr. He has been promoted to Deputy Township Head, and the village temporarily appointed me..."
A voice interrupted abruptly, "I thought so; how could someone like us newcomers be allowed to take on the role of Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office?"
