I Forgot About You, Kid

In the office of Pan Hongbin, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee.

Duan Bin came to report on his work.

"Duan Bin, have you found out anything? What's the background of this kid?"

"He didn't say anything. He's quite meticulous. He has some ability, but not much."

"And he's too young. He came in a hurry as a pawn. I thought he was some seasoned guy, hehe..."

"Have all the work arrangements been made?"

"I've already asked Xiao Hongye to deal with him. All the bad debts and messy accounts from the last quarter have been piled onto the County Government Office."

"Since he's the acting director, he should be the one to sign and approve those things."

"Do you think he'll jump into the pit obediently?"

"Of course he won't be that obedient. However, Xiao Hongye has been the deputy section chief in the first secretariat section for eight years. It's not difficult at all for her to deal with this inexperienced guy!"

"Hahaha... Well said!"

Pan Hongbin blew out a smoke ring and couldn't help laughing: "This kid either signs and takes the blame, or retreats in the face of difficulties!"

"I guess if he's smart, he'll pack his bags and leave before his new county magistrate arrives!"

"Also, Secretary Zhang means the same thing. Before the new county magistrate arrives, whether it's voluntarily or involuntarily, let him get out of here!"

Duan Bin nodded as well: "Certainly, Secretary Pan."

"Just that it's a pity for this little guy. He thought he got a promotion, but he'll be laid off before his seat even gets warm. He really died a miserable death..."

"Counting it up, he should be the County Government Office director with the shortest tenure."

Pan Hongbin shook his head: "Whether he lives or dies doesn't matter."

"What matters is that the new county magistrate knows that his pawn will be removed from office as soon as he takes office in the territory of Huiming County!"

Duan Bin didn't say anything more.

Because this kind of thing is all too normal in the officialdom.

He himself had climbed from a small clerk to the position of Director of the County Party Committee Office. He didn't even know how many times he had sacrificed his own wife.

Over the years, officials, big and small, had come and gone in the life-and-death struggles. It was all too normal.

"By the way, Duan Bin, what's the identity of this new county magistrate? Haven't you found out yet? Secretary Zhang is quite anxious and has been asking me..."

Duan Bin felt a bit embarrassed: "Still haven't found out... The confidentiality work is really well done."

"But don't worry, Secretary Pan. I will definitely mobilize my connections and do my best!"

"Good! We don't necessarily have to know in advance. But since we'll all be colleagues in the same team in the future... It's always better to know a bit in advance so that we can coordinate our work better..."

"I understand, Secretary Pan. I know what to do..."

...

On Lin Feng's side.

Having been reborn, he understood all too well that in the officialdom, apart from the relatively stable relationships of nepotism and mentorship,

everyone else is an enemy, not a friend.

So, for this coquettish section chief of the first secretariat section, Xiao Hongye, he just dealt with her superficially, making a show of it but not going too far.

"Secretary Xiao really knows how to talk. Praising someone for being handsome to their face is really hard to refute."

"Giggle..."

Xiao Hongye was laughing heartily: "I'm just telling the truth! In our County Government Office, we haven't seen such a young and handsome leader for many years..."

"Thank you!"

"Secretary Xiao, what's going on with these documents?" After a few jokes, Lin Feng got straight to the point.

He had just taken a brief look and found that for trivial matters such as the heating fees and winter transportation subsidies for county-managed cadres, there were actually no signatures!

Winter is almost over, and these fees haven't been accounted for yet!

What the hell is the deputy director doing?

If the positions of the county magistrate and the director of the County Government Office have been vacant for three years, will these funds be held up in the county finance for three years without being distributed?

Lin Feng directly changed the topic and started talking about work, which surprised Xiao Hongye a bit.

Could it be that she had met a workaholic?

"It's like this, Secretary Xiao. Since the positions of the county magistrate and the director of the County Government Office have been vacant for a long time."

"Some documents have accumulated."

"What you see is just a small part of the really urgent ones."

"A large part of them is still being sorted out by our secretariat section..."

"Is that so? This is just a small part?"

"Yeah! The capable should do more work! Director Lin, if you have any questions or need me to coordinate and cooperate, just ask me anytime!"

"First, give me a copy of the main personnel information of the County Government Office. I want to take a look at my colleagues' information."

"Sure..."

Xiao Hongye didn't forget to remind him: "Director Lin, these documents are all quite urgent... Please sign them as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Although he agreed verbally, Lin Feng wasn't swayed by it.

Leaving work records and ledgers may seem like just complex and cumbersome work.

In fact, it's a very serious matter.

Whoever signs is responsible.

Whoever signs the name is in charge of supervision.

Signatures can't be signed casually.

Soon, Xiao Hongye left and then came back.

"This is the information of the members of the County Government Office team, Director Lin."

"Put it on the desk and you can go out. Also, call all the colleagues for a meeting so that we can meet internally."

"Now?" Xiao Hongye was taken aback.

"Is that not possible?"

"It's not that it's not possible, but some of them are out on field work and not all of them are in the office, so..."

"Just call as many people as are available..."

As Lin Feng was looking through the materials, he immediately saw an eye-catching name!

Zhang Kang, Deputy Director of the County Government Office!

Holy crap!

I actually forgot about this son of a bitch!

In his previous life, this guy was the Deputy Director of the County Government Office, and in this life, he is too!

But Lin Feng didn't take such a lowly guy seriously.

He didn't expect that when he came to be the acting director, the deputy director would be him...

Wasn't this just a perfect match for his "expertise"?

"Secretary Xiao, contact Deputy Director Zhang Kang and ask him to come to the meeting without fail!"

"He..."

Xiao Hongye hesitated.

"Is there a problem?"

"Deputy Director Zhang rarely comes to the office... If we want to have an impromptu meeting now, he may not be able to come in time..."

Lin Feng naturally understood Xiao Hongye's hesitation.

As a pure second-generation official, Zhang Kang came to the County Government Office just for the sake of getting some experience on paper. In fact, he just held the position in name.

He doesn't come to the office for 28 days out of 30 in a month, and no one dares to say anything. His father is a Standing Committee member of the Huiming County Party Committee and Secretary of the County Discipline Inspection Commission, holding great power, and everyone has long been used to it!

So, Lin Feng naturally understood why there were so many documents waiting for approval piled up.

"Call him and tell him that I'll wait for him whenever he can come!"

"I'll wait until he gets off work at 6 o'clock in the afternoon!"

"If he still hasn't come before getting off work tonight, he doesn't need to come tomorrow! Tell him it's from me!"

"Cough..."

Xiao Hongye was shocked by Lin Feng's resoluteness!

Although a tough man is very charming!

But is he tough or just reckless?

If it's the former, Xiao Hongye will look at him with new eyes!

If it's the latter, she can only say that this Director of the County Government Office won't last long...

Xiao Hongye opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.

"What do you want to say? Speak!" Lin Feng said angrily.

"Director Lin, let me remind you. Do you know who Deputy Director Zhang's father is??"
