After sending off the leaders of the urban area, Tai Man entered work mode and instructed Yang Chen to gather various materials to gain a detailed understanding of Hualin's situation.
Yang Chen has been busy all day, almost without a break.
As the end of the workday approaches, Director Xu comes to the office and says, "County Chief Tai, since you are new to Hualin, some leaders from the county would like to invite you to dinner as a welcome gesture. Don't worry, the standard for the welcome dinner will definitely not be excessive."
Tai Man didn't even lift his head, continuing to look through the documents in his hand. "I still have some files to go through, so I won't go."
Xu Yuan looked troubled. Several deputy county heads and many leaders from county were going. If they couldn't get the county head to come, it would be difficult for him to explain.
Yang Chen knew that Xu Yuan was in a difficult position, and said, "County Magistrate, you and the leaders of county are probably not familiar yet. Taking the opportunity to have a meal together can help you get to know each other and make future work easier. You've been looking at materials all day, so you can finish the rest tomorrow."
As Yang Chen spoke, he signaled to Tai Man.
Tai Man turned a blind eye, saying, "You will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the work in the future."
Yang Chen saw that Tai Man was unresponsive and said to Xu Yuan, "Director Xu, you should go back first. I will try to persuade the county mayor."
Yang Chen came to Tai Man's desk after Xu Yuan left, "Boss, I just signaled to you, didn't you see it?"
"I saw it," Tai Man casually replied.
"How can you still refuse when you see it?"
Tai Man raised his head and looked at Yang Chen with a smile, " Yang Chen, you are my secretary, not the other way around! Do I have to listen to you just because you give me a signal?"
Yang Chen explained with a smile, "I didn't mean it that way. I mentioned before when I picked you up that the leaders of the county would definitely arrange a welcome banquet for you. At the Welcome Banquet, they will flatter you and be very cordial. This Welcome Banquet is meant to test you and also to warn and draw you in."
Their purpose was to assess whether Tai Man was sociable. If Tai Man acted aloof, it would prove that he was not fitting in, and from then on, everyone would be superficially polite to him but keep their distance.
On the contrary, if Tai Man attends the Welcome Banquet and gets along well with everyone there, it would prove that people can still come together and would be less wary of Tai Man.
Tai Man is completely focused on understanding Hualin's situation and has indeed forgotten Yang Chen's earlier advice. "So, according to what you said, I absolutely have to go to the Welcome Banquet tonight?"
"You don't want everyone to keep their distance from you, and if you want to do a better job, you have to go, and you have to be approachable."
"Troublesome!" Tai Man closed the file and said angrily, "Hualin it's because of leaders like this, who don't put all their effort into work, that causes the lag in development."
"The statement cannot be made in this way. No matter where you go, you cannot avoid the complexities of human relationships. As the county mayor, you should also have some understanding of the situation in Hualin. The stagnation of Hualin's development is mainly due to the lack of industrial upgrading."
"In the last century, Hualin was once prosperous due to mining and logging, and it was a well-known wealthy county. However, as the mineral resources depleted and logging was halted, without new large-scale industries to follow, Hualin gradually declined."
Tai Man disliked Yang Chen's always preachy tone; after all, how could a county mayor be lectured by a secretary? However, she had to accept one fact: Yang Chen's words were indeed reasonable. Moreover, her understanding of Hualin's situation was not as clear as Yang Chen's, and she was not as adept in social matters. "Got it, I'll handle things tonight as well."
"Just remember to appear amicable. Even if you see something you dislike or hear something unpleasant, you must hold back."
"I got it," Tai Man replied impatiently.
Seeing that Tai Man was about to get angry, Yang Chen stopped reminding him.
After work, Xu Yuan went to the County Mayor's Office again, taking Tai Man to the booked hotel. Yang Chen was worried that Tai Man would not be able to handle the pressure from the county leaders, so he followed them to the hotel.
Several deputy county heads, the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee, among other key leaders, were almost all present.
Tai Man exchanged pleasantries with everyone, greeted the crowd, and then Yang Chen stood on the side, helping the leaders pour drinks.
At first, everyone chatted casually, but gradually some people began to intentionally or unintentionally probe Tai Man, trying to find out more about her. Tai Man was also very clever, and she deftly parried all their attempts.
Yang Chen was originally worried that Tai Man was too young to compete with this group of old foxes, but seeing her calm and flawless performance, he felt relieved.
As the day gradually turned into night, Tai Man said she was feeling a bit tired and got up to leave first.
Yang Chen followed Tai Man for a while and praised, "Leader, you did a great job tonight. Those old foxes should be less wary of you now, so they shouldn't bother you for the time being."
"I can handle this situation. It just depends on whether I want to handle it or not," Tai Man said smugly.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Of course, as a leader, you must have seen big scenes before. How could you be afraid of these old foxes? But they are trying to probe your identity in their words..."
"What, are you curious too?" Tai Man stopped in his tracks and turned to ask.
"As long as they are human, they will be curious. Not just me, I guess in the County Party Committee and County Government courtyard, there is no one who is not curious."
A 26-year-old female county magistrate, if you say she has no background, only a fool would believe it.
Tai Man's face darkened as he warned, "Yang Chen, you used to be the chief secretary for the County Party Secretary, so you should know that restraining your curiosity is an unwritten rule, right?"
Yang Chen nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know. I won't be curious anymore."
As a leader's secretary, you are one of the closest people to the leader and also the person who knows the most about the leader's secrets. But there is an unwritten rule that is very important, which is to put away your curiosity. You can only know what the leader allows you to know, and you must never be curious about what the leader doesn't want you to know. Even if you do know, you must pretend not to know.
In the next few days, Yang Chen was almost never idle, accompanying Tai Man to understand the development of Hualin County, attending various meetings in the county, and working overtime until nine or ten o'clock almost every day before returning home.
Yang Chen had intended to take advantage of the deputy director's power to embarrass Zhao Na, but was busy from morning to night every day and had no time to trouble Zhao Na, allowing Zhao Na to have a few good days.
After a few days, Tai Man has basically understood the general situation of Hualin and is preparing to visit the main enterprises in county.
While Yang Chen was helping to organize the list of main enterprises in county, he saw a familiar name, Xia Qi, the person in charge of Hualin Haori Meat Company.
"Yang Chen, you are quite familiar with Hualin's enterprises. Which company do you think we should visit first today?"
Yang Chen recalled the scene of Xia Qi seducing him and said, "Haori Meat Company is a well-established enterprise in county. It was developed by Xia Haori from raising a few cows, and now it has two breeding bases. They are also planning to expand the factory area and establish a cold storage. I think we should start with Haori Meat Company."
