Chapter 0002 Advance Report

  Yang Duning parked his car and looked up at the old but imposing state government building in front of him.

  Today is July 3rd, 1995, Monday, the day he decided to report for duty.

  This is the administrative office building of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province.

  Wearing a short-sleeved shirt, Personnel Department Director Lei Xiaobo had just brewed himself a cup of special-grade flower tea and opened today's Hot Water Daily when he heard three knocks on the door.

  Lei Xiaobo didn't respond, at this time the 9 o'clock sun was emitting heat and the temperature outside the building had gradually risen, quietly seeping in through the window, making Lei Xiaobo feel a bit restless, he didn't want to be disturbed.

  About half a minute later, there were three more knocks on the door.

  "Come in." Lei Xiaobo was somewhat annoyed, his subordinates all knew not to disturb him at this time, who had eaten the wrong medicine today? It seemed that he would have to scold them again during the meeting.

  The door was gently pushed open, and a young man with short hair, about 1.7 meters tall, came in with a face full of childishness, looking quite handsome, with slightly dark skin, holding a file bag.

  Seeing Lei Xiaobo, the young man showed a slightly shy smile and said: "Excuse me, are you Director Lei?" Seeing that it was not his subordinate, the anger in Lei Xiaobo's heart also dissipated, but that didn't mean Director Lei would become friendly and approachable. Who in this office doesn't know that Director Lei is a cold-faced person?

  Lei Xiaobo responded with a soft "hmm" from his nose, glanced at the other person twice, then lowered his head and shifted his gaze to the newspaper.

  "Director Lei, hello. I'm Yang Dunning, a university graduate from Jingcheng University this year, assigned to work in the state government office, and now reporting for duty!" After finishing speaking, he straightened his body, ignoring Director Lei's sluggish expression, and stood quietly beside Director Lei's desk.

  "Yang Dunning?" Lei Xiaobo listened and felt that the name was somewhat familiar. After a moment's thought, he was shocked in his heart. Wasn't this the person that Provincial Committee Secretary Li Mingchen had personally called him about two weeks ago to report for duty? He had even wondered at the time what kind of person would be worthy of a personal call from the Provincial Committee Secretary?

  This drew attention from Lei Xiaobo: If it were just an ordinary person, wouldn't it be enough to have the secretary give themselves a heads up?

  Don't underestimate this person. Lei Xiaobo changed his lazy attitude from earlier and enthusiastically received him. He also called the personnel officer, Qu Biasha, to take him to complete the formalities. Then he said to him: "After you've completed the formalities, come back and I'll take you to see Secretary Zhou Tiande, who will be responsible for arranging your work." The Secretary Zhou Tiande he mentioned was the Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Government and Director of the General Office, at the deputy department level, in charge of internal institutions under the Provincial Government.

  Qū Bǐ ā Shā is a young Yi ethnic woman, about 1.65 meters tall, with a good figure, neither thin nor fat, and very pretty, the only shortcoming is that her skin is a bit dark and she has a strong local accent when speaking.

  "Eighty points!" Yang Dunning saw the beauty and showed that signature shy smile, but muttered a sentence in his heart.

  Lei Xiaobo smiled and introduced Asha to Yang Dunning: "Asha is the beauty of our personnel department, don't be distracted by her, little Yang. Hehe."

  Qu Biasha glanced at Yang Dunning, turned his head and nodded to Lei Xiaobo, saying: "Lei Ke, I know. I'll take him there now." He then turned around and said to Yang Dunning behind him: "Follow me!" And walked out of the personnel department's door.

  Yang Dunning bowed to Lei Xiaobo and said thank you before following Asha out.

  Asha was somewhat puzzled by today's performance of Leico, who even started making jokes about himself.

  Qu Biasha is 23 years old this year, from a national-level poverty-stricken county in the province. After finishing high school, she was spotted by a deputy governor of the provincial government during a beauty pageant and was selected to work at the provincial government.

  Asher's own conditions are very good, and he also cherishes his work. In his spare time, he even took the self-examination of law undergraduate. Although there were many suitors, perhaps Asher had a fairy tale-like dream about love, so far, Asher didn't know how many young men from wealthy and powerful families he had rejected.

  All the way, because Asha has always admired people who read books, he asked Yang Dunning many questions, just like checking a household registration. However, Yang Dunning knew that he should keep a low profile now, so he picked some unimportant content to tell his counterpart, such as his father Yang Yuanting being the president of Shicheng County Court and now serving as the vice president of the Intermediate People's Court at the prefecture level, but didn't mention it.

  Asha likes Yang Dunning's signature shy smile, but it has nothing to do with romance.

  After completing the formalities, the two were about to return to Leco when a young man came walking towards them in the corridor.

  At this time, Yang Duning happened to tell Asha a joke with some color, making Asha laugh and scold: "You're so bad!" And also gave Yang Duning a punch on the back.

  The young man walking towards them originally saw Asha's already piled-up smile, but after seeing the two people's somewhat intimate movements, he quickly disappeared and beckoned to Asha, saying: "Asha, come over here for a moment!" Asha heard the young man call himself, called out "Li Ke" in a timid tone, and walked over.

  The young man glared at Yang Dunning, then said to Asha: "Asha, how many times have I told you, this is the provincial government office building. You should pay attention to your image and not laugh and joke in the corridors." Asha also felt embarrassed when he heard this, his face turned red, and he nodded in agreement.

  Yang Dunning didn't like this person, wasn't he just a Zhengfu staff member? He was quite young but had a poker face. Since it wasn't directed at him, he remained silent and stood aside.

  However, the young man still turned his spearhead and said to the little boy who was flirting with the woman he was pursuing: "Who are you? This is a workplace, don't run around for no reason." His face was tight, and his tone wasn't very good either.

  Yang Dunning felt uncomfortable as soon as he heard it, but thought it was unnecessary to report on the first day and have a conflict with his colleagues, so he replied formally: "My name is Yang Dunning, I'm a newly assigned university graduate, here to report for work today."

  "Oh, you're a new university student!" The young man paused for a moment and continued: "When you go to a place, you have to follow the rules of that place. You just arrived, so you'd better learn well. Did you hear? Nowadays, university students don't know what rules are."

  Yang Dunning originally thought that he himself had not done well, but after listening to the young man's first few sentences, he didn't think much of it. However, when he heard the last sentence, he became furious: What kind of nonsense are you spouting? You're trying to show off in front of me? Who do you think you are, trying to teach me a lesson?

  Yang Dunning was calm and gentle, even if he were an old man in office, he wouldn't have the advantage of bullying others. However, being low-key doesn't mean being afraid of trouble. Yang Dunning looked up at his opponent, saying word by word: "Whether I understand the rules or not is my business, it has nothing to do with you! Stop chattering here!"

  The young man was about to erupt, but suddenly felt that the harmless big boy in front of him had burst out with a heart-pounding aura, his eyes cold and calm, his mind chaotic, and he unconsciously took a step back.

  He suddenly felt a weakening of his momentum and said "Be careful next time", then hastily passed by the two people, leaving the corridor.

  Taking a deep breath, Yang Dunning slowly exhaled and calmed down his emotions. This sudden change was really hard to get used to.

  Turning around, Asha's eyes were shining, and she thought to herself that it wouldn't be bad if the king had a sudden change of heart, making the beautiful woman in front of her suddenly have some idea.

  Asha smiled and exaggeratedly raised her thumb, saying: "You're really awesome, even daring to defy that person just now."

  "What kind of person is he?" Yang Du Ning asked in confusion.

  "Haha, you're in trouble! That person is Li Yuan, the deputy director of the personnel department. He's usually quite petty-minded. You've offended him today, and I reckon you won't have a good outcome in the future. But I must say, I admire you. Hehe." It turns out it wasn't an admiring gaze, but rather a schadenfreude-like gaze. Yang Dunning is so angry!

  "Mind your own business, who's afraid of whom in this world. Hmph." Yang Duning thought to himself, what could a small deputy department do to him?
