Chapter 008: Simplicity

"What are you shouting about? This is an office notice. If you have the ability, go shout on the third floor"

Li Ping was stunned for a moment before chasing after them: "Wait for me, leave one for me, I haven't eaten yet"

Is it the dark road at night or the mountain valley

In addition, there is an extremely outdated computer in the office, which was prepared in response to the call for office automation; however, in reality, it has not been used since it was placed in the office

However, looking at the young man standing by the roadside, who was about twenty-one and wearing glasses, Cheng Kong had to abandon this shameful thought; some things can be done, but they cannot be seen by others

Although there are only a few people in the office, apart from the director and Lu Xiaofei, the rest are each responsible for a specific area.

Director, aren't we supposed to go to the countryside today to review the land? Why are we holding a meeting? I had already arranged with Secretary Wang from Tianxi Village that there are several families coming from far away today

Yang Bin was startled and hurriedly jumped aside. To be honest, given his body, which was even bulkier than Cheng Kong's, managing to coordinate to this extent was quite impressive

Cheng Kong had Lu Xiaofei take a bun, and the two of them walked towards the county government courtyard while eating.

What are you doing? Are you sitting here in meditation?

Upon hearing the director's notice of a meeting, the young men were instantly stirred, and Li Ping was the first to jump out.

I miss you. Upon seeing my colleague Yang Bin, Cheng Kong smiled, but his words were surprising. Among his colleagues, this was the one with whom he had the best relationship, so it was not unusual for them to joke around.

The personnel from the Land Bureau arrived the earliest, taking their seats in the second row in order. According to the unwritten rules, the first row of seats in front of the podium is reserved for the heads of various stations. For instance, Li Yaozong, the director of the Land Bureau, sat next to Huang Fugui. The two have a good relationship and greeted each other with continuous laughter.

Such a situation, where the leader arrives at the venue ahead of subordinates, is likely a first in Shuilong Township; at least, it has never occurred during Cheng Kong's years in Shuilong Township

No one is happy about this

Cheng Kong and the others linked arms, whispering as they made their way to the third floor

The courtyard of the Water Dragon Township Government, originally the township office, was expanded after liberation. After decades of exposure to the elements, it appears quite dilapidated. Two old buildings enclose a large courtyard, surrounded by a ring of everlasting greens.

Although he had firmly decided not to go back in, as the excitement brought by his experiences gradually faded, he found himself feeling a sense of nostalgia.

Sister Lu has come, offering flowers as a gesture of respect. Hmm, the flavor is truly delightful

Therefore, even Cheng Kong began to shout, although the several villages he was responsible for did not contact him in advance, who could have known about the sudden situation? Moreover, when it concerns everyone's interests, if you remain silent and are seen as indifferent, how will you manage to navigate this office in the future?

Upon seeing the two individuals acting playfully, several other colleagues joined in, including Li Ping. Although everyone harbored some youthful feelings, they were not mortal enemies.

Li Ping still hasn't figured out what happened when Cheng Kong took the bun pocket from his left hand

Upon arriving at the conference room, Cheng Kong immediately noticed that the secretary, the township head, and several other leaders were already seated at the podium. Furthermore, in the first row beneath the podium sat a police officer, who upon closer inspection turned out to be Huang Fugui, the deputy director of the Shui Long Township Police Station. At that moment, two young women from the office were preparing tea for the leaders.

The office of the Land Resources Department in Shuilong Township is located on the first floor, consisting of two interconnected offices. One is slightly smaller and serves as both the external service window and Lu Xiaofei's private office. All procedures related to land must be handled here.

A chorus of laughter and joy heralded the dawn in Shuilong Township, where the lives of ordinary people are always so pedestrian, with happiness and troubles intertwined.

The other office is the office of all the men in the Land Bureau, including the director.

Upon entering the office, Lu Xiaofei took out the necessary documents and other items from the cabinet and arranged them at the external window, while Li Ping attentively ran over to Lu Xiaofei's side to assist.

With Li Ping's flattering buns as a foundation, Cheng Kong temporarily no longer needs to treat guests after signing in

The entire Shuilong Township comprises twenty-three villages. On average, one person is responsible for about five villages. However, most areas of Shuilong Township are mountainous and difficult to access. Previous work has already been arranged, and this meeting has caused a delay. Once the busy period is over, it is uncertain when they will return.

Get lost! I am not dealing with glass

Hmm? What major event has occurred? A question mark suddenly appeared in Cheng's mind.

How did this kid manage to get out? Baozi? Cheng Kong smiled, walked over, and patted Li Ping on the shoulder: "Li Ping, you are being too polite."

As for Cheng Kong, he brewed a cup of tea and sat in front of his desk in a daze. At that moment, he was recalling the experiences of the previous night, which were undeniably stimulating for a young person raised in a peaceful society

After a short while, several young individuals walked in; these were the remaining colleagues of Cheng Kong. Aside from the director, all the colleagues in the office were young.

From the perspective of looking in from the outside, the only modern features are the promotional wall embedded with glass and the sign-in machine behind the main entrance. At this moment, a few people have gathered at the entrance to clock in.

One of the guys, who was fatter than Cheng Kong, walked up behind him and gave him a slap on the back, nearly startling him.

It is unclear whether he is intentionally waiting here or just passing by. In any case, upon seeing Lu Xiaofei getting off the car, his small eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs. He waved his right hand and called out, "Sister Lu! Sister Lu! Have you had breakfast? I have freshly bought meat buns here." Indeed, Li Ping was holding a large bag of buns in his left hand.

The director of hetushucomcom is also nearing retirement, having no desires or demands. He usually gets along well with these young people, but he commands considerable respect. When he raises his voice, several of them lower their heads. There's no choice but to comply. I wonder what these leaders are thinking, holding meetings for no reason.

It seems that we have no choice but to walk at night. Hmm, do you have an extra flashlight? May I borrow it

While several colleagues were playfully teasing each other, an elderly man dressed in a Zhongshan suit entered, holding a cup: "Hmm, stop fooling around. Is everyone here? Let's go to the third-floor conference room for the meeting"

After all, that sponsorship was brought in by the former township head from an unknown source. The Celeron 366 computer can only handle some simple games and is incapable of doing anything else, especially since there is no broadband available here

Cheng Kong had to stop his incessant chatter, got up, and exited the vehicle. As he was getting out, he truly wished to suddenly halt, allowing Lu Xiaofei behind him to collide into him, savoring a softness he had never experienced before

There are four desks inside, which appear quite worn. Aside from one designated for the director, the rest are for communal use

To know which meeting it was, these leaders did not arrive punctually; if they did not do so, how could their status as leaders be reflected
