Here comes the second update! Please follow and recommend!

Chen Yuan, seeing that Yang Jie was teachable, nodded in satisfaction. "It's good that you can learn from your mistakes and become more low-key! However, you must not become消极怠工 (negatively slack) and lose your drive. Do you understand?"

Seeing Yang Jie nod gratefully, indicating that he understood, Chen Yuan continued, "The waters in the province are very deep. You must be cautious and careful there. Don't easily offend anyone, and observe more, speak less, and learn more. If you cause trouble there, the Secretary will be unable to protect you, as his influence won't reach that far. You'll have to rely on yourself."

"Please rest assured, Director Chen. I understand!" Yang Jie nodded solemnly. Chen Yuan's words were a subtle warning, indicating that the impression of him being someone who would cause trouble was deeply rooted in Chen Yuan's and even Zhou Dalong's minds.

"Actually, the Secretary's decision to arrange this for you is also because he will soon be transferred to the city and won't be able to take care of you anymore. I hope you can understand the Secretary's good intentions." After some thought, Chen Yuan decided there was no need to hide Zhou Dalong's upcoming promotion from Yang Jie.

"What? The Secretary is getting a promotion?" Although Yang Jie had known about this for a while, he still feigned surprise in front of Chen Yuan.

Seeing Yang Jie's surprised expression, Chen Yuan nodded and smiled. "Yes, the organization has already talked to the Secretary. In about two weeks, he will be appointed as the Deputy Mayor of Changyang City, responsible for cultural, educational, and health affairs. Before he leaves Wuhe, he wants to ensure that your future work is properly arranged so that you won't be affected by his departure."

Hearing Chen Yuan's explanation, Yang Jie finally understood that Zhou Dalong was making these arrangements for his departure from Wuhe. After all, once he went to the city, he wouldn't be able to interfere in Wuhe County's affairs anymore.

"I understand the Secretary's intentions. I will work hard and never disgrace him!" Yang Jie was extremely grateful to Zhou Dalong and solemnly promised Chen Yuan.

"Very good! Seeing that you understand the Secretary's good intentions, I am relieved. Let me introduce you to the basic situation of the Wuhe County Provincial Office.

The Provincial Office is a provincial-level institution directly under the leadership of the County Committee and managed by the County Government. It was mainly expanded from the former Wuhe County Provincial Liaison Office.

The Director and Party Secretary of the Provincial Office is Deputy Director Zhou Dequan of the County Committee Office. The former Director of the Liaison Office and Deputy Director of the County Government Office, Zhu Jiangxin, serves as the Deputy Director of the Provincial Office, responsible for daily management.

The Provincial Office has a Comprehensive Office, Information Group, Reception and Service Group, External Liaison Group, and Security Department, as well as the Rongcheng Wuhe Hotel. Including you and Liu Fei, there are ten official staff members in the Wuhe County Provincial Office, with the rest being hired externally.

Here is a notice on the main responsibilities, internal structure, and personnel编制 (compilation) of the Wuhe County Provincial Office. Take it and familiarize yourself with it." Chen Yuan handed a document from her desk to Yang Jie.

"Okay! Director, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Yang Jie took the document from Chen Yuan, stood up, and was about to leave when Chen Yuan asked him to wait.

Looking at Yang Jie, Chen Yuan said seriously, "Yang Jie, I don't know what your relationship with Liu Fei is, but since you proposed to transfer her to the provincial city to assist you, there are some things you need to pay attention to.

She was transferred from the cultural troupe to the County Committee Office for some external reasons. I can't go into the specifics, but I hope you can maintain a normal working relationship and not overstep. Although you are both unmarried, you should still be cautious about certain things to avoid future regrets."

Yang Jie didn't expect Chen Yuan to give him such a warning. Looking at her serious expression, he nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Director. Liu Fei and I have a very normal working relationship. I proposed transferring her to the provincial city solely for work needs. I will be cautious about the relationship between men and women."

"Very good! I hope you remember this. If there's nothing else, go back and read the document. I'll have Liu Fei come to my office later to discuss the work at the Provincial Office." Seeing that Yang Jie understood her meaning, Chen Yuan nodded and instructed him to call Liu Fei over.

Yang Jie took the document and left the Director's office. Walking into the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, he felt as if he were in a different world. He coughed and said to Liu Fei, who was sitting in the office, "Liu Fei, the Director wants you to go to her office. There are some work adjustments to be announced."

Chen Yuan, as a member of the County Committee and Director of the County Committee Office, rarely paid attention to a regular clerk in the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, let alone talked to her about work. Yang Jie's mention of work adjustments and the Director's personal involvement clearly indicated that he was going to transfer her.

Liu Fei's face showed a hint of resentment, and she glared at Yang Jie coldly. The Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office was a simple and relaxed place with little to do unless there were foreign merchants or overseas Chinese. It was a good place to avoid office politics and enjoy a peaceful life. She had grown accustomed to the ease and lack of competition here and didn't want to leave.

Thinking about how she had not always respected Yang Jie as her superior, though she hadn't openly disrespected him, she had previously thought that Yang Jie wasn't the type to play two-faced games. However, she never expected him to report her to the Director.

"You have some nerve!" Liu Fei stood up angrily, her eyes red and her hand covering her mouth, and quickly left the office.

Yang Jie, feeling a bit bewildered, scratched his head, not understanding why Liu Fei had suddenly changed her attitude. He returned to his seat, opened the document Chen Yuan had given him, and began to familiarize himself with the Provincial Office's situation.

A few minutes later, Liu Fei returned, her face red, and looked at Yang Jie with a hint of apology. "Director, I wronged you just now. I apologize. I didn't expect you to personally request the Secretary to transfer me to the Provincial Office. I was too petty. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"

For a young and ambitious official like Yang Jie, the Provincial Office was essentially a form of exile, far from the political center of Wuhe. However, for a clerk like Liu Fei, it was a rare opportunity. The salary and benefits were similar to those in the County Committee Office, but the bonuses and welfare were much higher.

Moreover, working at the Provincial Office meant that all living expenses were covered by the unit, and the travel allowance was paid for the maximum number of days each month. The total income was close to the average salary in the provincial city, and living in a big city provided a broader perspective and more opportunities compared to a small place like Wuhe County.

Many people in the county dreamed of and competed fiercely for a position at the Provincial Office, and Liu Fei, sitting in the office, had unexpectedly received such a good opportunity without doing anything. She was naturally overjoyed.

Furthermore, Chen Yuan had clearly told Liu Fei that her position in the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office would remain unchanged, and if she returned to the county from the Provincial Office, she would still work in the same office. This meant that she was being temporarily transferred to the Provincial Office.

Her fears had not materialized, and instead, a wonderful opportunity had fallen into her lap. For Liu Fei, who wanted to stay away from the political intrigues and prove herself through hard work, this was a tremendous opportunity.

"What did you do just now? Why are you apologizing to me for nothing?" Yang Jie, looking at the blushing Liu Fei, was a bit slow to react to her sudden change in attitude. However, because he genuinely didn't take it to heart, his reaction was genuine, leading Liu Fei to mistakenly believe that he was trying to avoid embarrassing her.

Although Liu Fei came from a cultural troupe, she was not good at interacting with men, especially her direct superior. Despite her gratitude, she was too shy to express it directly. After silently appreciating Yang Jie's kindness, she smiled happily. "Nothing! I was just happy to hear that I'm going to work in the provincial city, and my leader is you!"

Yang Jie shook his head speechlessly. He had proposed transferring Liu Fei to the provincial city to assist him mainly because of work needs, but also partly because he preferred working with her over Guo Ziqiang. Working with Liu Fei was more pleasant and visually appealing.

Seeing Liu Fei's excited and flushed face, Yang Jie handed her the document about the Provincial Office. "This is the notice on the main responsibilities, internal structure, and personnel compilation of the Wuhe County Provincial Office. Read it carefully to familiarize yourself with our work there."

Liu Fei took the document, thanked Yang Jie, and began to read it carefully.
