Chapter 2 New Department Head

  The intruder continued to say: "I am your new section chief, my name is Chen Jiajun!" After introducing himself, he paused for a moment and then said: "Why are you all idle chatting instead of doing things?" He brought up the old topic again.

  Everyone suddenly fell silent when they heard his repeated question, because no one knew how to answer it well. At this moment, Zhang's aunt reacted quickly. "Director, isn't this still a matter of having nothing to do?" she explained.

  "What can be done about it?" The intruder asked Zhang's aunt.

  "Director of Science, there is really nothing to do!" Zhang Yi said affirmatively again.

  After hearing Zhang's affirmative answer, the intruder looked around at the people again. "Chen Chong, you're the most senior here. You come to my office in a minute!" he said to the middle-aged man. After that, he walked straight into the department head's office.

  After he left, everyone looked at each other again.

  "Can't be wrong! Is he the new department head?" Little Li shouted out.

  "Yes, how is this possible?" Chen Chong also said with an incredulous expression.

  "Yes! How is this possible? He's so young, he looks like he's only twenty-four or five." Li Xiaoxian also said.

  "Yes! You say he looks like a national cadre? So sloppy and disheveled." Another clerk, Little Xu, also said.

  "That's it? He is just a worker in a factory." Zhang Yi also said.

  "Working-class? Be more polite! This is simply an idle vagrant!" Chen Chong corrected.

  "No, even like a..." Xiaoxu Yu said, stopping abruptly. Because he suddenly didn't dare to say any more.

  "Like a hoodlum, like a rascal!" Another clerk, Little Huang, seeing that Little Xu didn't dare to continue, supplemented his words.

  "But in fact, he is our new department head!" Little Li reminded them and said.

  At this time Chen Chong suddenly woke up again. "Eh! There is one thing that's really strange?" he said.

  "What's going on?" everyone asked Chen Chong in unison.

  "I've never met him before! How did he know my name and also knew that I'm the oldest qualified person here?" He said his strange encounter.

  "Eh! That's right, it is a bit strange!" Zhang Yi also said in agreement.

  Colleagues were shocked to hear this and started thinking. "Or, he had already inquired about the situation here before coming?" Little Li thought.

  "Hmm! Or is it really like that?" Li Xiaoqian also said.

  "But, in short, I think he's very mysterious. You see, before any leader comes, we already know him inside out, even his ancestors for eighteen generations can be talked about! Only he seems to have descended from heaven, and not a single thing is known about him." Chen Chong said with an astonished expression.

  "It's a bit mysterious! But no matter how I look at him, he doesn't seem like a leader, he looks more like an ordinary worker in a factory workshop. I wonder if he took the wrong entrance and mistook this place for one of his factories?" Little Li joked.

  "No, maybe he just wandered here because he had nothing better to do." Little Xu corrected.

  "Yes! It's clear that he is just a working-class person!" Zhang Yi also said.

  "But I think he has a kind of unbridled charm just like that?" Li Xiaoxian said with a thoughtful expression.

  "Hey! What are you thinking?" Zhang Yi teased Li Xiaoqian after hearing what she said.

  "I think Xiaoxian is 90% in love with someone else! Alas! ---- I've been chasing Xiaoxian for so long and couldn't catch up, didn't expect that as soon as he came, Xiaoxian already fell in love with him." Little Li also joked.

  "What are you guys talking about? He's not even my type, I like the rich and handsome ones! And he's definitely not that type." Li Xiaoqian heard them teasing her and immediately denied it.

  "Hey! He's calling me to his office!" Chen Chong suddenly woke up and immediately walked towards the department head's office.

  Following Chen Chong, he arrived at the department head's office. After entering the office, Chen Chong was suddenly frightened by the situation in front of him. He saw that the new department head had his feet on the desktop, and his body was leaning back in the chair. What does this look like? This is not a national civil servant at all! It's completely like a rogue or even a gangster. Chen Chong thought to himself.

  "Director! I'm here!" Chen rushed in and respectfully said to the new director. The new director, however, didn't look at Chen but continued to sit with his head raised, only gesturing for Chen to sit down in front of him. "Director, did you call me in for something?" Chen asked when he saw that the new director still hadn't spoken.

  "Why is everyone idle and chatting instead?" The new department head still didn't lower his head to look at Chen Chong, but continued speaking with his head raised.

  "Just now Aunt Zhang didn't tell you? There's nothing to do!" Chen Chong explained, and in order not to take all the blame himself, he also dragged Aunt Zhang into it.

  "What's this nonsense about having nothing to do? How can that be when our department has such a heavy workload?" The new head of the department said.

  Chen Chong was so angry that he couldn't explain anymore and had nothing to say in response.

  The new department head looked at Chen Chong, who hadn't spoken up yet, and glanced down at him. Only then did he finally look at Chen Chong and say: "In the past, I didn't care what kind of attitude you had towards your work, but from now on, when you come to work, you have to look like you're working! What does a national government organ look like if it's just a leisurely entertainment venue? And besides, our department, which is in charge of promoting the law, really has a lot of work to do! Just take a look at how many people at the grassroots level are still legally illiterate!"

  "Yes! Section Chief!" Chen Chong listened and although he felt a bit resentful in his heart, seeing the new section chief's stern expression, he didn't dare to resist and could only nod in obedience.

  "I know you're not convinced in your heart! But what I'm doing is for the country and the people, it's not for myself! You have to understand!" The new director said suddenly. This made Chen Chong extremely surprised, he didn't expect that he would be like a worm in his own heart, knowing exactly how he felt.

  "Section Chief, I dare not disobey!" Chen Chong also had no choice but to say so.

  "Alright! There's nothing else! You go and tell them that we'll have a meeting this afternoon!" The new department head said, still looking up.

  "Yes! Director Chen." Chen Chung nodded and turned around to leave.

  After going out, colleagues saw Chen Chong coming out and rushed over.
