Chapter 129: A Concerned Feeling
Zheng Guangyi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Qi Hengsan's words. The Lada car was not new, it was a retired taxi that the county had bought from Kyoto a few years ago because it was cheap. The car was basically all problematic, often breaking down after running for a few miles, but at least it was a car. In Dahucheng County, except for the county committee's standing members who had cars, only a few department heads were equipped with Santana. Having a car in the county seat was an absolute symbol of status, so this gave Feng Sichao face and also made him jealous, truly killing two birds with one stone.
As for assigning He Wenbao to Feng Sicheng, that's a move that kills two birds with one stone. Letting an powerless government deputy director and the previous powerless vice county head get together is really a perfect match. But there's one thing that makes him headache, you say the cars have been assigned, how to arrange the driver issue? Like that Lada which has all sorts of problems, even if it's assigned to a good driver, it's still useless. Thinking about this, he made another report to Qi Hengsan regarding the driver issue.
"I'm telling you, Old Zheng, why are you so stubborn? Deputy County Head Feng only mentioned wanting a car, but didn't say he wanted a driver. So there's no need to arrange one for him. If he asks, just tell him the small vehicle team doesn't have anyone available." Qi Hengsan let out a cold laugh and poked Zheng Guang's head.
"Yes, County Magistrate Qi, I understand. You're really quick-witted, I, Zheng Guang, admire you, admire you." After flattering him several times, he finally walked out of Qi Hengsan's office.
He Wenbao then received a notice saying that he was to accompany Deputy County Magistrate Feng on an inspection tour of the various towns. At first, anyone should be delighted at this news, after all, it's following the Executive Vice County Magistrate, who is the county government's second-in-command. But thinking back to Feng Si Zhe's awkwardness since arriving in Dahulu, everyone shook their heads, this really wasn't a good assignment. He Wenbao also nodded his head after shaking it, he knew that this was definitely another one of Qi Hengsan's tricks, meant to make him work hard for nothing while keeping his mouth shut.
But who would have known that this move was already calculated by Feng Si Zhe and He Wen Bao, it's just that the continuous events happened to be in line with their intentions, and this is what they called heavenly assistance.
Zheng Guang made a report to Feng Si Zhe after arranging everything. Upon hearing that the car and personnel issues had been resolved, Feng Si Zhe seemed pleased and nodded in approval, even praising Zheng Guang for being responsible and diligent. At the time, Zheng Guang was nodding humbly, but in his heart, he thought, "This foolish deputy county head is really too young and naive, unable to see through the true nature of things."
Although there was nothing to do, Feng Si Zhe still waited until the normal working hours were over before he left the office and returned to the Dahl Lake Reception Center. He simply ate a little dinner here, and then went back to his own room.
Wang Hong had already sent over some materials prepared by her husband, He Wenhe, in the room. With these materials, he gained a deeper understanding of Dahukou County.
At 7:40, the phone in Feng Siche's room rang. Since there was no caller ID, he didn't know where the call came from and picked it up casually. As soon as he answered the phone, his grandmother's familiar voice came on. "Zhe'er, have you arrived at Dahu County? How is everything? Where are you staying? What do you eat? Is anyone giving you trouble?"
The phone rang, and Grandma's concerned voice sounded. Listening to Grandma's voice thousands of miles away, Feng Sichao was moved, "I'm fine, Grandma, you know I came here as a county leader, how could they not arrange for me properly? Don't worry, now I have a car to ride in when I go out and meat to eat every meal, haha."
