Chapter 68

### July 20, Thursday

Yang Jie and Liu Fei received the official notice of their job transfer from the county party office as soon as they arrived at work. The notice instructed them to report to the provincial office in Wuhu County on the following Monday, which was the 24th.

Deputy Director Zhou Dequan had already handed over his duties four days ago and officially started his new position at the provincial office.

They had three days to prepare, which was more than enough time.

After all, Chen Yuan had informed them early about the transfer to the provincial office. The work at the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office was not much, and there was nothing significant to hand over. With Guo Ziqiang staying behind, there would be no issues with the work.

Chen Yuan generously gave Yang Jie and Liu Fei two days off to prepare, urging them to go home and get ready, and then head to the provincial capital as soon as possible.

Holding the transfer notice signed by Chen Yuan, Yang Jie read it carefully and then said to Liu Fei, "Director, we need to go to the provincial capital to report ourselves. We can't wait until the 24th. I think we should go on the 22nd. We can buy some daily necessities on the 23rd, and it won't be too rushed."

Liu Fei was happily tidying up the documents on her desk. Hearing Yang Jie's suggestion, she nodded and asked, "What mode of transportation should we take? Long-distance bus or train?"

"The long-distance bus takes too long on the national highway. It takes about seven to eight hours to reach the provincial capital, and it could take even longer if there are road repairs or accidents. Wuhu County has a train station, and many trains pass through Wuhu to Rongcheng every day. Taking the train is more convenient and safer, and the time is easier to control."

After making up his mind, Yang Jie said to Liu Fei, "The notice requires us to report to the provincial office on the 24th, but we can't wait until then. Let's go on the 22nd. We can buy daily necessities on the 23rd, and it won't be too rushed. We'll take the earliest train. Let's meet at the entrance of the county government compound at 7:00 AM on the 22nd. I'll buy the tickets." Yang Jie tidied up the documents on his desk, locked them in the drawer, and stood up.

Liu Fei, hearing that she had two days to prepare, smiled and agreed. She was also quickly handing over her work to Guo Ziqiang to get back home and prepare as soon as possible.

Yang Jie had only recently joined the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, and Guo Ziqiang was more familiar with the work than Yang Jie, so there was nothing significant to hand over. After setting the meeting time with Liu Fei, Yang Jie quickly left the office.

As he walked down the stairs, he happened to meet Gu Zhongyi from the Comprehensive Department. Seeing Yang Jie about to leave, Gu Zhongyi quickly pulled him aside, looking mysterious.

"Old Gu, what's going on?" Yang Jie, seeing Gu Zhongyi pull him aside, asked in confusion.

Gu Zhongyi sized up Yang Jie, his face full of admiration, and said, "I heard that you personally recommended Liu Fei to the provincial office to assist you?"

"Yes! We are going to the provincial office to handle investment promotion. She speaks Minnan and Cantonese well, and she is the only person I know in the county who is familiar with foreign affairs. Who else should I transfer if not her?" Yang Jie, hearing Gu Zhongyi's question, realized that there must be something about Liu Fei that he didn't know.

Otherwise, Chen Yuan wouldn't have reminded him to keep his distance from Liu Fei. Now, seeing Gu Zhongyi's mysterious demeanor, he guessed that Gu Zhongyi must know the reason.

"I don't know if you are acting in the public interest or have some ulterior motives. I hope you listen to my advice. If you have any intentions towards her, it's best to give up early. Don't bring trouble upon yourself." Gu Zhongyi, seeing Yang Jie's puzzled expression, which seemed genuine, realized that Yang Jie must not know about Liu Fei's background. He kindly gave him a warning.

Yang Jie, hearing this, quickly pulled Gu Zhongyi aside and asked curiously, "Old Gu, what's going on? You're making me confused! Can you explain clearly? What's wrong with her? It sounds like I'm getting myself into a big trouble!"

Gu Zhongyi, seeing Yang Jie's reaction, couldn't help but laugh. He looked around to make sure no one was nearby and then whispered, "Liu Fei is a flower in our county party office, but she is 26 years old and has no boyfriend. No one even pursues her. Have you ever wondered why?"

"Why?" Yang Jie thought about it. He had been at work for almost a week and hadn't seen anyone come to visit Liu Fei.

"Someone higher up has their eye on her, but she refuses to comply. That's why she was transferred to the county party office to sit on a cold bench. By transferring her to the provincial office, you have already offended that person. If it weren't for Secretary Zhou protecting you and your young age, you would have been in trouble for touching their forbidden fruit. Be careful, brother. Beauty is often a source of trouble. Don't fall for it!" Gu Zhongyi said this and, seeing someone coming out of the office, didn't say more. He patted Yang Jie's shoulder and left.

Yang Jie, who had just started working, was surprised to see the dark side of the system. He watched Gu Zhongyi walk away, shook his head, and walked out of the county government building without much concern.

Liu Fei, with her dance background, had an outstanding气质 (quality) and was extremely beautiful and charming. She had a curvaceous and graceful figure, fair and smooth skin, long legs, and a full, shapely behind. Her curves were very alluring, and she embodied many of the best qualities of southern women.

If beauty, figure, and skin were rated out of 100, Liu Fei would score over 85 in all three categories. Therefore, it was no surprise that she was considered a beauty not only in the county party office but also in the entire Wuhu County and Changyang City.

It was not strange for a beauty like her to have admirers, but it was strange that she had none. After hearing Gu Zhongyi's words, Yang Jie understood that a higher-up leader had his eye on her.

Yang Jie had known Liu Fei for less than a week, and they had little interaction. However, he admired her for resisting the pressure from above and choosing to sit on a cold bench rather than submit to that person. Her integrity and character were indeed commendable.

Even if Yang Jie had any intentions towards Liu Fei, he wouldn't be intimidated by that person.

The abilities that Xiao Wu had shown recently had given Yang Jie great confidence, especially in the matter with Liao Guojin. It was all thanks to Xiao Wu that they were able to turn the tide and force Liao Guojin to resign and step down.

Yang Jie didn't take the person who had designs on Liu Fei too seriously and didn't pay much attention to Gu Zhongyi's warning.

Yang Jie was about to go to the provincial office, and he wanted to take the opportunity to return to Wuhu County for a visit.

The last time he brought Jimmy to Wuhu County, his mother Liu Cuilian was away on a teaching assignment, so they didn't meet. A few days ago, he called home and learned that Liu Cuilian had returned. He decided to go back and spend some time with his parents before heading to Rongcheng.

Just as he was about to leave the county government compound and call a motorcycle taxi to the station, he felt a rhythmic vibration in his waist.

He picked up the pager hanging from his belt and saw that Chen Yinglong was looking for him. After thinking for a moment, he didn't call back but directly took a motorcycle taxi to the Public Security Bureau and went to Chen Yinglong's office.

"Brother Chen, what's up?" Yang Jie knocked and entered Chen Yinglong's office. He saw a middle-aged man in a police uniform chatting with Chen Yinglong, who seemed to be giving him some instructions.

"You're here! Please sit down!" Chen Yinglong, seeing Yang Jie come in person, quickly smiled and invited him to sit down.

"Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Gao Zhiyun from our Public Security Bureau. He will represent our bureau and be responsible for security at the provincial office.

Since you are also going to the provincial office, I thought it would be good to introduce you to each other so that you can support each other in the future."

The security department of the provincial office was mainly responsible for the safety of the office and also handled special tasks such as intercepting petitioners. Therefore, it was necessary to send police officers from the county bureau. Yang Hua, who had just taken over the county bureau, naturally prioritized selecting officers from the Public Security Bureau.

"Brother Gao, nice to meet you!" Yang Jie smiled and shook hands with Gao Zhiyun.

Gao Zhiyun had a well-proportioned face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, giving him a very just and upright appearance. He was tall and strong, with sharp and piercing eyes, making him look very trustworthy.

"Director Yang, you are Brother Chen's brother. If you need anything in the provincial office or in Wuhu County, just let me know. As long as I can help, I will do it without any hesitation!" Gao Zhiyun's statement in front of Chen Yinglong made Chen Yinglong very satisfied. This was exactly the attitude he wanted when introducing Yang Jie to Gao Zhiyun.
