Chapter 5 Talents

  Su Yang left Haitang Town with a heart full of sadness and anger. Now he only has one thought in mind, to make a name for himself.

  In the past, I didn't have the opportunity, but now it's different. I have a special ability to distinguish between good luck and bad luck in others, which allows me to navigate through various crowds with ease.

  Although I'm not a civil servant, I can still gain recognition from leaders in my career, make connections with high-ranking officials and rich businessmen. One day, I'll drive a Mercedes-Benz to show off in front of Xie Yiting, making her feel ashamed.

  No matter how beautiful you look, no matter how elegant your temperament is, no matter if you're a civil servant, Xie Yiting, I swear to reclaim my dignity this time and make you realize that you are nothing.

  The list of layoffs from the Party and Government Office of Furong Town has not been finalized, just waiting for Su Yang to return. Previously, Niu Dapi did not want to add insult to injury to Su Yang, who was in the hospital, and it would be too inhumane to finalize this matter now.

  However, Niu Dapi's mind has changed now. Su Yang is a good little comrade, and after the incident where Su Yang risked his life to save him, Niu Dapi has been thinking of ways to save Su Yang.

  "Suyang, Director Niu wants to go out, the county is holding a mobilization meeting, and he specifically asked you to follow him. By the way, did you finish the task I entrusted to you before you got injured?"

  The phone call was made by Zhu Jia, Ye Wei had a conflict with Su Yang last time, and he didn't dare to make the call himself, so he asked Zhu Jia to do it. As it happened, Zhu Jia also had something to ask Su Yang, so she walked to a quiet corner of the corridor and dialed Su Yang's cell phone number.

  "Although your plan is effective, Su Yang can't be without a conscience. He absolutely won't do something that harms the elderly like this. 'Zhu Jie, I feel like I shouldn't do this. I know you're doing it for my own good, but I'm just too stubborn. Alright, let's wait until Director Niu arrives and we can talk again.'"

  Su Yang knew that Zhu Jia, this young woman, had always had a good impression of him, but her idea was also a bit too poisonous. Thinking of Old Wang's desperate eyes, Su Yang shook his head, everything still depended on himself.

  The Jetta has been repaired, and there are only two people in the car, Su Yang and Niu Dapi. Niu Dapi also changed his usual behavior today, he used to like sitting in the back seat, but today he sat in the front passenger seat.

  "Xiao Su, I've already reported your situation to our leader."

  Director Niu spoke in segments, never finishing a topic at once.

  Su Yang's eyes stared at the road ahead and hastily asked, "Director Niu, is there a show?"

  They spoke very directly and had been through thick and thin together, so they didn't feel like strangers.

  "You know that formal employees in the party and government offices will definitely not be laid off, so we can only start with temporary workers. There are only three people in total, you, Old Wang, and Little Zhang."

  Cutting off Zhang Niu's big skin was something he had never thought of, nor had he proposed it to the town leaders. If his uncle, who was appointed as the director of the police station, found out about this, he would definitely fight with him.

  Niu Dapi suggested to the leader that Su Yang, this young comrade, still has a lot of energy and the government needs young people. Previously, the town had basically decided to lay off Su Yang, but Niu Dapi thought it was worth reconsidering whether to lay off Su Yang or old Wang instead.

  "Little Su, come on, have a cigarette." Niu Dapi handed Su Yang a Great Wall cigarette.

  Su Yang put the cigarette on the dashboard, "Director Niu, I'll drive carefully, you just smoke first and don't worry about me."

  Su Yang, where has the mood to smoke gone? Instead, let's first figure out what's going on and whether I should stay or leave.

  Niu Dapi lit up the cigarette he was holding and said, "According to what Director Zhang said, either Old Wang or you have to go."

  Niu Dapi, as the director of the party and government office, spoke with skill. If he said that you and Lao Wang had to leave together, Su Yang would certainly think that his own chances of leaving were greater. Psychological comfort was necessary.

  "Old Wang's situation you know, after the reform of township enterprises, he went to the party and government office, worked for many years, this year is probably forty-six, often relying on his age to get away with things. I usually call him but he doesn't care. However, this is also his advantage, leaders don't want to be the bad guy. Little Su, slow down a bit, no rush."

  Su Yang realized that his right foot was stepping on the brake, and immediately focused his attention on the road conditions ahead, "Okay, Director Niu, please continue."

  "You also have your advantages, being young. I reported to the leaders and the government originally needs young people. Not to mention other things, you are quick with your hands and feet, dare to take risks, and are willing to suffer hardships. So, the top decided to study it further and confirm next week."

  The final result is unknown, even Niu Dapi doesn't know. He has done his best, although his words still have some effect, but the decision-making power is not in his hands after all.

  Su Yang's heart still hadn't let go of his concerns, but he still had some hope. It turned out that Zhu Jia's intention was that the Party and Government Office would basically cut him loose, it's just that Zhu Jia's words were more tactful.

  This time if it's Old Wang who gets cut, Su Yang will be able to rest easy with a clear conscience. This is the organization's decision, and he didn't frame him. Of course, if both of them can stay, that would be the best outcome.

  Wan Hua County held a mobilization meeting for the development of the tourism industry today. The county's finances are tight, as it is located in a remote area, far from the city, so the land is worthless and cannot be used to attract investment. Land finance does not work in Wan Hua County, and the county relies on agricultural production and subsidies from the municipal government to make ends meet, which is not a solution.

  Deputy County Magistrate Luo Xiang, in charge of Wan Hua County's economic work, was speaking eloquently on the podium in the county government's conference hall.

  Niu Dapi was helping the town leaders with the meeting, but he had also never seen such a scene before.

  Luoxiang unexpectedly stood on the podium to give a speech, while leaders from various departments of Wanhua County and township leaders all sat on the stage. What's going on here?

  It seems that this mobilization meeting is not simple, Niu Dapi found the problem.

  Luo Xiang pointed to the sky with his hand while speaking, "Our county's newly appointed County Party Secretary Li Jie highly values our county's economic development. After holding five night meetings at the county party committee and government, it was decided that Wanhua County's future positioning is a strong tourism county!"

  Travel in Chongqing!

  The leaders under the platform started whispering to each other, the road is not easy to walk, there are no scenic spots, no experience at all, and no funds, how can this be done.

  However, some leaders are delighted in their hearts. Well, but they have to undergo a lot of learning and exchange first, go abroad or out of the province for inspection, what a great thing it is to travel at public expense.

  Some leaders thought that the county must be short of money, and Li Jie, the newly appointed secretary, was sent by the municipal government. He would definitely be able to get the funding, so now the project funds have a solution.

  The ox's skin can hear the surrounding leaders' conversation, none of which is planning how to develop the tourism industry. Alas, a poor county is just a poor county. The leaders here have strange ideas and are thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity to develop tourism and make private gains, and how to embezzle more public funds to fill other gaps.

  Niu Dapi didn't think so much, he came today just to be a recorder, bringing back the spirit of the meeting, let the town's secretary and mayor worry about it.

  Niudapai carefully recorded every word spoken by Deputy County Magistrate Luo Xiang.

  Su Yang fell asleep in the car and two hours later the meeting was over.

  "Niu Dapi glanced at the time, 'Xiao Su, bear with me for a bit. Originally I wanted to treat you to a meal in the county town, but time is tight. The spirit of the meeting must be brought back to the town government immediately. It seems that I can only invite you another day.'"

  Su Yang immediately started the Jietu car, eating is a small matter, don't delay the leader's major event.

  While driving, Su Yang curiously asked, "Director Niu, what's so urgent?"

  Niu Dapi replied seriously, "The newly appointed county party secretary Li Jie has started the first fire and plans to position Wan Hua County as a tourist city. He proposed an eight-character slogan: 'Using flowers as a medium to make friends widely.' Now the 12 towns in the county are busy."

  Niu Dapi told Su Yang that the names of the 12 towns in Wan Hua County were all named after flowers, but it was not that Furong Town had peonies, Haitang Town had crabapple blossoms, and Peony Town had peonies. However, each town had many flower farms for cultivating various flowers and plants.

  However, since all 12 towns are poor, it's really hard to develop tourism. I thought there was funding, but just now Deputy County Mayor Luo Xiang said that the city doesn't have special funds, everything relies on the county itself to make ends meet.

  According to County Party Secretary Li Jie's intention, the management and reception expenses of vehicles in the county will be more stringent in the future. Cars worth over 100,000 yuan are out of the question.

  Off-road vehicles are needed for mountain roads, that's okay, there are off-road vehicles for sale within 100,000 yuan, and they're diesel, more fuel-efficient!

  Su Yang was very impressed by the new secretary's momentum. If he wanted to change, he had to make drastic changes. Su Yang also expressed his own opinions.

  "Director Niu, I think this is pretty good. Give up the small benefits in front of us and exchange them for the county's big development in a few years. All reforms that do not come out with a strong fist will ultimately be stillborn. Our Furuong Town has the conditions to do well in the tourism industry. Furuong Town has many varieties of chrysanthemums, we can hold a Chrysanthemum Festival! Encourage villagers along the mountain roads to develop rural tourism, fill their courtyards with chrysanthemums, and enjoy the rustic flavors among the flowers, it's a unique atmosphere..."

  Su Yang felt that his thinking was very clear, with a sense of saying everything he knew and expressing himself fully. He spoke continuously for fifteen minutes, leaving Niu Dapi in the passenger seat stunned. "Little Su, you're really talented! I didn't expect an eighth-grader like you to be so gifted."

  Niu Dapi has some appreciation for Su Yang, how come he didn't notice before, under his eyelids for a year, this Su Yang is really hidden and not revealing anything.

  Su Yang looked at Niu Dapi's astonished eyes, damn it, how did he just say so much nonsense and even came up with a specific plan, was he really talented?

  Su Yang understood in his heart that everything was a result of the car accident. He hadn't become mentally ill, but instead had actually gained some talent.

  Su Yang's residual light glanced at Niu Dapi's forehead, where there was a red gas. Under the set-off of the red gas, Niu Dapi looked more and more like a high-ranking official. He came, he came, and he came again!

  Last time, a black gas appeared on Niu Dapi's forehead and he almost lost his official position because of being caught by the police. This time it's red, just the opposite.

  Gas! Red!

  Su Yang knew that Niu Dapi was going to have good luck.
