"Is County Chief Lin Xiao in?" the Township Head of Mao Wei knocked on the door.
Lin Xiao wasn't particularly fond of Ke Hongxin. He was a seasoned politician from the Township, with sharp, triangular eyes that gleamed with mischief. After a few drinks, he would start spouting crude jokes. During a recent research trip with Hua Jie, they hosted a dinner in their township where he relentlessly urged her to drink.
If it weren't for Hua Jie speaking up, Lin Xiao wouldn't have known how to refuse his drinks. Perhaps it was because he had just made a mistake; his tone towards Lin Xiao was unusually humble.
He had long mastered the art of concealing his emotions, smiling as he said, "I just happen to be delivering materials to the County Chief. Let me help you with that."
As Lin Xiao handed the materials to Li Hao, she mentioned, "County Chief, Ke Hongxin from Mao Wei Township wants to report on his work. He was just asked to leave the meeting by the Disciplinary Committee."
Summarizing work reports succinctly is an essential skill for an assistant secretary. Every time Lin Xiao entered Li Hao's office, she made sure to be fully alert, hoping to gain recognition from this decisive County Chief.
"What kind of person is he?" Li Hao asked, looking down at the documents.
Lin Xiao paused for ten seconds in thought. Ke Hongxin was a former deputy battalion commander who had transitioned into civilian roles, serving as the head of the Township's military affairs and later as Township Head. He had been working in the township for quite some time.
"If I wanted to know that, I wouldn't ask you; I'd have the Organization Minister come," Li Hao said, stopping his pen and looking sternly at Lin Xiao.
Feeling flustered by her superior's question, Lin Xiao's face turned red. This question was too broad; her personal standard was to keep her emotions hidden and not express likes or dislikes openly.
However, she knew that if she didn't answer honestly this time, Li Hao wouldn't trust her. How could she evaluate Ke Hongxin in a way that met Li Hao's expectations?
"His work ability is quite strong; he's smooth in dealings and has good drinking capacity, but his discipline leaves something to be desired. During the last poverty alleviation meeting, he even took phone calls," Lin Xiao quickly assessed Ke Hongxin objectively in her mind.
Li Hao placed the folder on the desk and said, "Let him come in!"
Lin Xiao had no idea what Li County Chief discussed with Ke Hongxin. When Ke Hongxin emerged from the County Chief's office, he had transformed from being cautious upon entering to wearing a serious expression—something rare since Lin Xiao had known him.
Lin Xiao realized that being an assistant secretary for Li Hao was actually much simpler than she had anticipated; she just needed to focus on her assigned tasks.
Li Hao would have receptions in the evening for provincial leaders visiting for inspections and exchanges with brother units. Considering that Lin Xiao was female, she was only responsible for arranging things at the front during these receptions; Luo Qianwei would accompany them. For rural working meals, Lin Xiao would dine with ordinary staff in a private room and then wait to return together.
From handling documents and County Chief's directives, Lin Xiao sensed that there was an undercurrent stirring within Yurou County.
Yurou County aims to develop a tourist destination in Xiangtian Province, with the current focus on the relocation issues at the foot of Southwest Cuiping Mountain.
The relocation announcement for Gengxu Town has been posted for a month, and the relocation team has been on-site for a week. Surprisingly, in a village with nearly a hundred households, not a single household has been relocated.
On Saturday morning, Li Hao decided to convene an on-site progress meeting. Lin Xiao compiled the situation report from Gengxu Town along with the plan for the progress meeting and submitted it to Luo Qianwei. After verifying the details with her, Luo Qianwei forwarded it to Li Hao for review.
After Li Hao approved it, Lin Xiao followed the procedures to issue a notification through the official document system.
During the on-site progress meeting, Li Hao gathered representatives from the Finance Bureau, the Disciplinary Committee, Gengxu Town, and other relevant departments to discuss the relocation within the village.
