Chapter 30

Ouyang Meimei was originally a woman who couldn't bear loneliness and had no depth of character. Relying on her close relationship with Deputy Mayor Tang Yifu, she often spoke without restraint at various meetings, taking the lead in expressing her opinions.

Duan Qingyun said, "This young comrade, Xiao Chu, is very energetic and full of vitality. He is a practical worker and a young man worth cultivating."

He was a military-turned official who had always been suppressed by Guan Haoyu and Huang Roshan. He had long been dissatisfied with their nepotism but rarely had the opportunity to voice different opinions. Today, finally, a non-clique member, Chu Tianshu, emerged, and he felt compelled to show support from the bottom of his heart.

Guan Haoyu looked at Jian Ruoming again.

Jian Ruoming still said, "I've only been here for a short time and don't know Chu Tianshu very well. Since Director Tian recommended him, there shouldn't be any problem."

Huang Roshan had to take a stance. He said with a serious expression, "I haven't had much contact with Chu Tianshu. Young people have enthusiasm, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The key is how to guide them. Since everyone agrees to let Comrade Chu Tianshu take the position, according to organizational principles, I will follow the majority. However, I want to emphasize one point: whoever recommends, whoever is responsible. Director Tian, if there is a significant issue with the office work, you will still be held accountable."

On one hand, Huang Roshan emphasized that Tian Keming was still the office director, and on the other hand, he showed no clear stance, only expressing his opinion according to organizational principles.

Guan Haoyu finally said, "Alright, I basically agree to Chu Tianshu serving as the head of the Comprehensive Department. Considering this is a temporary proposal, his rank will be set as a Chief Section Officer, enjoying the benefits of a Deputy Section Officer."

After all, Chu Tianshu was not his own person, so Guan Haoyu still held back, only giving him benefits but not a rank, to see how things would develop.

With the top leader making the decision, the others had nothing to say.

After the meeting, Tian Keming felt his mouth dry, his scalp tingle, and his spirit was utterly dejected. After working for more than twenty years, this was the first time he felt so utterly humiliated. Not only did he kick himself out of the agency, but he almost lost his position as director. He returned to his office in a daze, holding a teacup and pacing around the room, then called the Comprehensive Department.

Liu Chunna answered the phone. Hearing Tian Keming's voice, she was so scared that her hands were trembling.

Tian Keming was still putting on a show, "Xiao Liu, have Chu Tianshu come to my office."

Liu Chunna felt a chill. Right after the expanded party group meeting, Tian Keming was calling Chu Tianshu, which could only mean he was notifying him to prepare for the "village residency" program.

She put down the receiver and said nervously, "Xiao Chu, Director Tian wants you to come over."

Fan Yibing and Qian Meihua were also startled and looked at Chu Tianshu, who was organizing documents, with complex expressions.

Chu Tianshu was confident and smiled faintly, saying loudly, "Ha ha, don't worry about me. I've always said, if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided."

When Chu Tianshu arrived at Tian Keming's office, he saw Tian Keming pacing around the room with a teacup, like an ant on a hot pan. He hurried forward and smiled, "Good day, Director Tian."

Seeing Chu Tianshu walk in, Tian Keming forced a smile, walked over quickly, closed the door first, then pulled Chu Tianshu to sit down, and asked softly, "Xiao Chu, did you bring your phone?"

"I brought it." Chu Tianshu took out his phone. "Did you do what I asked?"

"Done, done." Tian Keming had a bitter smile, "The money has been delivered to the hospital; you can ask Zheng Xiaomin about this. The report for the 'village residency' program has also been submitted, and the party group meeting has just approved it and is preparing to report it. You can ask Ouyang Meimei about this."

Before Chu Tianshu could speak, Tian Keming hurriedly added, "Xiao Chu, I also recommended you to be the head of the Comprehensive Department, and it was approved at the party group meeting."

Chu Tianshu was transferring video files and, upon hearing Tian Keming's words, his heart skipped a beat. He secretly rejoiced but maintained a calm demeanor, saying, "Director, if that's true, thank you."

"Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask Ouyang Meimei." Tian Keming patted his chest, almost swearing to the heavens.

Chu Tianshu smiled and held his phone in front of Tian Keming, saying softly, "Director, watch this, I'm deleting the video file."

Tian Keming's eyes widened, watching Chu Tianshu press the delete button, then snatched the phone to operate it himself, confirming that the embarrassing video was really gone. Still not reassured, he asked, "Xiao Chu, did you copy or download it?"

"What do you think?" Chu Tianshu smiled and asked back.

"He he, I trust you." Although Tian Keming said this, he still felt uneasy.

After returning from Tian Keming's office, Liu Chunna looked at Chu Tianshu's face and whispered, "Xiao Chu, Director Ouyang just called, asking you to go to her office right away."

Damn! There's a chance. Chu Tianshu thought to himself.

Pushing the door open, Ouyang Meimei was applying makeup in front of a small mirror. Seeing Chu Tianshu, she immediately smiled and said in a high-pitched voice, "Xiao Chu, oh, no, Director Chu, please sit down."

Chu Tianshu walked over and touched Ouyang Meimei's forehead, asking seriously, "Sister Mei, are you running a fever?"

Ouyang Meimei slapped Chu Tianshu's hand and scolded, "Go away! Don't be so disrespectful."

Chu Tianshu sat down opposite Ouyang Meimei and teased, "Director Mei, tell me, are you going to notify me to pack my bags and leave? No worries, my heart is strong enough to handle it."

"Tsk!" Ouyang Meimei leaned back in her chair, looking at Chu Tianshu with a smile and said lazily, "Tianshu, how do you plan to thank me?"

Chu Tianshu still smiled and said, "Sister Mei, when I come back from the mountains, I'll bring you some foxtail grass."

Ouyang Meimei's face turned serious, "Chu Tianshu, who wants your foxtail grass?"

"What should I do then?" Chu Tianshu continued to feign ignorance.

Ouyang Meimei smiled and waved her hand, "Come here, I'll show you something good."

Chu Tianshu stood up and walked to Ouyang Meimei's side, where a strong scent of perfume hit him.

Ouyang Meimei leaned forward and pointed to the computer screen, "Look, what is this?"

Chu Tianshu bent down and first saw a valley between Ouyang Meimei's breasts.

Due to leaning forward, Ouyang Meimei's shirt collar naturally opened, revealing a large expanse of white skin. Standing next to her, Chu Tianshu couldn't help but see it.

Seeing Chu Tianshu not speaking, Ouyang Meimei turned her head and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah? Didn't you say you were going to show me something good?" Chu Tianshu still didn't move his gaze.

Ouyang Meimei shouted, "You bad guy, I told you to look at the computer screen."

"Oh, I misunderstood." Chu Tianshu finally moved his gaze to the screen.

On the screen was a document, a red-headed file from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), with the title: Notice on the Appointment of Comrade Chu Tianshu.

The content read: After the party group meeting of the Qingyuan SASAC, it was decided to appoint Comrade Chu Tianshu as the head of the Comprehensive Department (Chief Section Officer), enjoying the benefits of a Deputy Section Officer.

Ouyang Meimei raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "Well, did you see it clearly?"

Chu Tianshu grinned, "Not really, it was blocked by clothes."

Ouyang Meimei blushed and spat, "Pah, you... bad guy!" She stood up, staring at Chu Tianshu, and said coquettishly, "Tell me, how will you thank Sister Mei?"

Chu Tianshu pretended to be at a loss and said, "I have no money and no power, I can't repay you."

Ouyang Meimei touched Chu Tianshu's chin and teased, "Little brother, give Sister a smile."

Damn! Treating me like a gigolo in a nightclub.

Chu Tianshu's anger flared up. He pushed Ouyang Meimei's hand away, grabbed her chest with both hands, and squeezed hard, making her scream.

"Ah..." Ouyang Meimei didn't get angry but instead screamed excitedly. She broke free from Chu Tianshu's grip and said in a low voice, "This is the office, why are you so excited?"

Chu Tianshu grabbed Ouyang Meimei's buttocks and said fiercely, "If we weren't in the office, I would have strangled you to death."

"He he, I like your strong side." Ouyang Meimei wriggled her body, her face flushed, and her breathing quickened. "You're so naughty. Quick, put me down."

Chu Tianshu held her buttocks with one hand and her chin with the other, and said in a rogue-like manner, "Girl, give me a smile, and I'll put you down."

Ouyang Meimei covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably.

Chu Tianshu threw her into the chair.

Ouyang Meimei closed her eyes, lying in the office chair, and after a while, she recovered, holding her chest and said, "Wow, you're too strong, my heart is about to jump out."

Chu Tianshu made a move to touch her chest again, but Ouyang Meimei stopped him and said in a low voice, "Stop fooling around, let's talk seriously."

Chu Tianshu sneered in his heart: Hum, playing with me, I'll crush you!

When Chu Tianshu sat down again, Ouyang Meimei tidied her clothes and told Chu Tianshu that at the expanded party group meeting, Tian Keming had voluntarily proposed to go for the "village residency" program, and the list had already been submitted.

Then, she vividly described how she had pressured the commission leaders to agree to appoint a head for the Comprehensive Department and how she had strongly supported and recommended Chu Tianshu, embellishing the story to take all the credit for herself.

"See, I've already prepared the document. I'll send it to Director Guan for his signature and issue it this afternoon. Tell me, shouldn't you thank me?"

"Should, I should." Chu Tianshu thought, if I hadn't stepped on Tian's tail, you could have stripped naked on the table and still wouldn't have achieved this. Thinking of this, he asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Sister Mei, how did you manage to do this? The commission leaders are so easy to persuade."

"You finally realize Sister Mei's capabilities." Ouyang Meimei said proudly, "Let me tell you, in the political arena, it's not always about who has the most power, but who can speak to the leaders."

Chu Tianshu feigned admiration, "Sister Mei, how should I thank you?"
