Chapter 6: The Mayor's Legacy

"Leader Lai Ye, these two are your subordinates. This one is Liu Chi, a graduate of Shuizhou University. This one is Li Chun, also known as Water Girl, who previously worked in the Civil Affairs Office and has been specially assigned to assist your Tianshui Bazi village work team. She is indeed a young lady, so you, as the team leader, should take good care of her, haha..."

It seems that this young man is quite a tough character and not very easy to get along with

Haha! We will be colleagues from now on, and we will be working together for a long time! Let's get to know each other to become familiar.

The good mood from my promotion was instantly ruined by this set of tables and chairs. I stared blankly at Li Chunshui and forced a bitter smile, saying: "Haha! So that's how it is. It's fine, I'm an atheist. When a person is gone, nothing remains. This set of tables and chairs is still quite nice! Miss Chunshui, think about it, which hospital bed hasn't been occupied by a deceased person? Why weren't you afraid back then? So there's no need to be scared. I once even held a jar containing a corpse; this is just a small matter, haha... Miss Chunshui, think about it, which hospital bed hasn't been occupied by a deceased person? Why weren't you afraid back then? So there's no need to be scared. I once even held a jar containing a corpse; this is just a small matter, haha..."

Ye Fan's smile was even more unappealing than his bitterness, resembling a Chen Q-style expression.

Strange, these tables and chairs are polished to a shine, as if they are still new. They are not dirty at all! Ye Fan was somewhat lost in thought, carefully examining this set of tables and chairs, and murmured in confusion.

Ye Fan handed over a cigarette

It is said that it will not be possible to reach Linquan Town until next year

Ye Fan thought to himself as he plopped down onto the spacious and comfortable boss chair, and after leisurely swinging his legs around for a moment, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a pure young lady in here as well

Leader Ye, I will just sit here and listen to you speak

Hmm! Team Leader Ye, you must hold on.

Ye Fan suddenly felt his pupils dilate, and his body reflexively sprang up, feeling every hair on his body stand on end. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! I thought I had struck it rich with Director Wang taking care of me, this little brat. He personally arranged for me to have a set of top-notch furniture with that old, worn-out desk. It turns out it was the inheritance left behind by that unfortunate Mayor Wu. I estimate that although this set of tables and chairs is quite valuable, no one in the town government would dare to use them; otherwise, how could they end up with a rookie like me?"

Suddenly said: "Chun Shui, come over here. Liu Chi has left for a matter, so let's discuss the work group's affairs first and review the materials."

Li Chun suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, and with a flutter of her long eyelashes, she momentarily forgot about Mayor Wu's death. She walked over casually, and with Ye Fan's encouragement, brewed a cup of tea and bravely sat down opposite him

Indeed! You dare to embrace the urn of the deceased, unexpected.

"No... that's not it, Team Leader Ye, that table and chair, I have a bit of..." Li Chun's gaze became even more peculiar as he swept over the boss's chair that Ye Fan was sitting in and the table in front of him.

Indeed, it is taken seriously

Ye Fan encouraged Li Chun at the riverside. He thought that Chun Shui was just shy and embarrassed to sit across from him, reflecting that this rural person was indeed quite traditional.

Pointing to the slightly smaller swivel chair opposite his desk, he indicated that he wanted to have a face-to-face discussion about work with Li Chun | Miss Shui. ... In fact, this arrangement is somewhat ambiguous; if it were evening and a few candles were lit, it would resemble a romantic setting.

Ye Fan was just about to sit down for a small group meeting, where everyone would get to know each other and discuss the progress of the work at the Tianshui Dam. At that moment, Liu Chi's pager beeped with a 'beep beep' sound. He took it out, glanced at it, and casually said: "Team Leader Ye, I have something to attend to, so I will leave first. I will be waiting for you all at the government gate at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

On the morning of the third day, Ye Fan, Liu Chi, and Li Chun were informed upon their arrival at the town government that the office had already been organized. Under the guidance of Su Jiazhen from the Party and Government Office, they excitedly went to take a look at their office.

Strangely, Li Chun noticed that the boss's chair, which Shui Yi pointed at, seemed to be somewhat allergic, as it stammered and hurriedly said to sit honestly at his own desk, unwilling to come over and face Ye Fan directly

Isn't that the mayor's office over there

In front of Ye Fan's luxurious executive chair, there were two slightly smaller executive chairs, presumably placed for the convenience of having discussions with subordinates. Initially, Ye Fan had seen similar chairs in Secretary Qin's office, but it seemed that even Director Wang of the Party and Government Office did not have them, and Director Wang was using an old-fashioned desk. These strange thoughts briefly crossed Ye Fan's mind; he had thought that Secretary Qin was particularly considerate.

He means no harm; he is probably just concerned that you are too tired

Director Wang Yuancheng warmly greeted Ye Fan, even mentioning his official title.

Wang Yuancheng quickly changed the subject, saying, "Team Leader Ye, here are the materials regarding Tianshuiba Village. Please take them back and review them carefully. Secretary Qin has specially given you two days off to prepare. We hope you can set off the day after tomorrow; the town has already arranged transportation. The town still places great importance on your work group stationed in Tianshuiba. Secretary Qin specifically instructed me to arrange an office for you, which should be ready the day after tomorrow."

"No! Where did your table and chairs come from?" Li Chun finally mustered the courage to raise his head, pointed at Ye Fan's neighbor, and then lowered his head again

After speaking, he did not wait for Ye Fan to nod and turned around to leave.

In the office, there are three desks and chairs arranged. Two of the smaller desks likely belong to Liu Chi and Li Chun. Ye Fan's desk is particularly large, measuring nearly 2.5 meters in length and even has a curved shape. What surprised Ye Fan is that there is actually a large 17-inch computer on the desk. It is worth noting that in 1995, computers were considered high-end products, and such items were not commonly seen, although the internet was certainly not available.

Oh! Hold on! Ye Fan muttered to himself, feeling particularly strange, thinking to himself, hold on to what, it's not like we're going to the battlefield, how odd!

Last night, Liu Chi moved several times to persuade Secretary Qin on behalf of hetushu.com. Ultimately, the decision to go to Tianshui Bazi was set in stone. However, Liu Chi resolutely refused to take on the role of group leader. It is indeed strange; Liu Chi has been desperate to get promoted, yet when he was actually offered a position at the stock level, he pushed back with all his might. It seems that being the group leader at this stock level is akin to handling a piece of red-hot chrome ore. In the end, Qin Zhiming became so annoyed that he had to hold an impromptu meeting in the morning and appointed Ye Fan as the new group leader.

I dare not! In the future, everyone will have to work together. Moreover, I am new here and will need the care and support of Director Wang and the two siblings.

Liu Chi, with a blank expression, let out a grunt as he took the cigarette, lit it up without regard for anyone around him, and elegantly blew out a perfect smoke ring, demonstrating a rather skilled technique. It seems he had too much time on his hands, spending all day practicing how to blow smoke rings.

The office of the material work team stationed at the dam was quite special, located in a luxuriously decorated room on the fourth floor, approximately 40 square meters in size. The walls were adorned with imitation wood grain panels over one meter high, the floor was made of locally sourced black patterned boards, and even the ceiling featured a suspended design, comparable to that of a hotel. Ye Fan was quite surprised, as the other offices seemed to lack such luxury and were merely ordinarily decorated.
