Chapter 9: The Soy Sauce Faction

  The black gas had stopped expanding, but still occupied half of Zhu Jia's face.

  Zhu Jia touched her own face and then looked at her hands, "Su Yang, is there something on my face?"

  "No, nothing, just thought sister looked very beautiful today, so I was stunned, hehe."

  Su Yang can't reveal his own secrets to anyone, but what does the black face represent?

  Little nurse's face is red, she won the lottery, black and black? What are you after all?

  Jia heard Su Yang's praise and burst out laughing, "You, you used to look so serious, now how did you learn to be so glib? Alright, let's get down to business."

  According to the analysis, Niu Dapi is currently the deputy town head and will be appointed as the new director of the Party and Government Office next week. Deputy Town Head Niu will definitely retain the current staff of the Party and Government Office, with a probability of at least 70%, and the remaining 30% will be transferred from other offices.

  If one is selected from the party and government offices, Cao Jian's chance is the greatest.

  Zhū Jiā also said that Cáo Jiān's chances are the greatest. What is the relationship between Cáo Jiān and the secretary, Sū Yáng asked, "Sister Zhū, why does Cáo Jiān have the greatest chance?"

  "Come on, have a piece of pai nai, eat while we chat, or the dishes will get cold. Su Yang, now that you're part of the party and government office, you must be clear about the situation in the town, or it's easy to make mistakes, and no one can protect you then. You might have heard some rumors when you were at the small car company, but consider what I'm telling you today as official news, haha."

  It wasn't until Su Yang spoke up that he realized how little he had understood Zhu Jia before. She was surprisingly well-versed in "politics". All along, he had thought of Zhu as a housewife who worked only to supplement the family income. Now, Su Yang finally understood that Zhu was no ordinary woman - she was a career-driven female powerhouse who would seize every opportunity that came her way.

  Su Yang looked at Zhu Jia's serious expression, which was vastly different from the personality he had imagined before. Alas, it seemed that the temptation of power was indeed great.

  Furong Town has three factions, one of which is the conservative faction led by Secretary Yue Yi. The so-called conservative faction means that this group of people's thinking is too influenced by the previous town leadership team, doing things in a routine and adhering to old rules. Secretary Yue Yi was also the former mayor of Furong Town, making him the representative figure of the conservative faction.

  The second faction is the reformist faction led by Zhao Tianliang, the town head. On his first day in Furong, Zhao Tianliang emphasized the importance and necessity of reform, and to this day, he has been thinking about how to change the rules and local policies at all times.

  Slowly, Zhao Tianliang's views gained approval from some young and middle-aged cadres, so a group of people gathered around him.

  The last faction mentioned by Jia is the soy sauce faction. These people are mainly engaged in "soy sauce" and have no initiative or enthusiasm for doing things. Even leaders dare not assign tasks to them, in short, they are just passing the days in the town.

  Cao Jian's chances are very high because he is the town party secretary Yue Yi's man, and it is said that Cao Jian is a relative of Yue Yi's wife's family.

  Su Yang was convinced by Zhu Jia, originally thinking that he was the only one who didn't know, but later hearing about the soy sauce faction, Su Yang immediately reacted and realized that all of these were personal analyses made by Zhu Jia.

  "Sister, you're quite observant, which faction are you from?"

  "Good, good," said the person with a glance at the ceiling. "Su Yang, I'm one of Zhao Tianliang's people. I appreciate some of his ideas. In today's officialdom, we need someone like him who dares to take charge and make changes that others don't dare to. So, I stand on his side."

  Su Yang took Zhu Jia's words and applied them to himself, he should be a soy sauce faction now, doesn't understand anything except for Niu Dapi, doesn't know any leader in the town.

  Zhu Jia said he appreciated Zhao Tianliang's idea, Su Yang listened and felt sour in his heart, the word "idea" was already omitted, Zhu sister appreciated Zhao Tianliang, could it be that Zhao Tianliang really...

  Zhū Jiā looked at Sū Yáng's indignant expression and touched his hand, "Sū Yáng, what are you thinking? Is it that you think you don't have any backing, no worries, take your time. Having a backing doesn't necessarily mean good development, if you follow the wrong person, it'll be hard to turn things around."

  Zhu Jia thought to herself: Zhao Tianliang is said to have a big background, but it's not clear whether he has connections with someone in the county or the city. If she competes with Cao Jian, will Zhao Tianliang help her and Secretary Yue Yi counterbalance each other?

  Su Yang smiled at Zhu Jia, "Zhu sister, I don't care who you're with, but from now on, I'll be with you, because you care about me the most."

  At the same time, Su Yang was also paying attention to the black air on Zhu Jia's left face. Combined with what Zhu Jia said earlier, she might not have a good relationship with Zhao Tianliang, and this time she didn't have the opportunity to become the director of the Party and Government Office.

  How can I persuade Zhus sister to turn to Yue Yi?

  Su Yang analyzed that as long as Zhu Jia Nang could change her perspective from Zhao Tian Liang to Yue Yi, the dark energy on her left cheek would slowly dissipate.

  "Sister, do you know Zhao Zhenzhang? What if the investigation is wrong and he's not a capable person at all? I think Secretary Yue has been in Furong Town for a long time and has a solid foundation. If you follow him, it won't be bad at least. Why take this risk?"

  Jia shook her head, Su Yang was really a simple person, didn't know anything, and the water in the town was deep.

  Yue Yi, this secretary has been in Furong Town for a long time, which is indeed his advantage. However, how can he compare with Zhao Tianliang? Yue Yi cannot speak loudly in front of the leaders of Baifa County. To put it bluntly, Yue Yi is also a role-playing person in the county.

  "Su Yang, you're no longer a driver. Some things you'll come to know gradually. The most powerful leader in the town right now is Zhao Tianliang."

  Jia wiped her mouth and answered the phone, "Hello... What?! I'll bring the money over right away."

  Zhū Jiā left in a hurry after a brief farewell, looking flustered as he departed from the dining area.

  What exactly happened to Zhu Jia, Su Yang really wanted to know, but Zhu didn't bring it up herself, and even if she did, would he be able to help?

  Only Su Yang was left, and the bottle of Fenggu wine that Zhu Jie had pointed out hadn't even been opened, but Su Yang suddenly wanted to drink, wanting to feel the sensation of the spicy wine going down his throat, the liquor coursing through his veins.

  It's said that there is a beauty like jade in the wine and a golden house in the wine, right? Su Yang couldn't help but twist open the cap, "glug glug glug", and downed two or three cups.

  What's going on here?

  Su Yang felt that he not only had a strong drinking habit, but his capacity for liquor had also increased significantly. In the past, after just three or four drinks, he would already be dizzy, but now he could down three or four in one breath without anything seeming to happen.

  Su Yang tried to continue tilting the bottle, ten seconds, just ten seconds, and all the wine in the bottle was poured into his own mouth.

  Su Yang exerted himself and shook his head vigorously.

  Good heavens!

  Nothing is really going on, fake wine? No, the taste is indeed that dry and spicy.

  Su Yang felt that his physique and thinking had been transformed, he had a kind of reborn feeling, like being reborn from the ashes, the king's return, as if there was an invincible feeling.

  No way, Sister Zhuang must have run into trouble and I'll have to take action myself to help her.

  Su Yang had forgotten that he was just a temporary worker at the town government and couldn't help others with anything, but Su Yang still walked while taking out his phone, wanting to ask Zhu Jia where she was now, he had to hurry over to help.

  At this time, one sentence pulled Su Yang back to reality.

  "Wait a minute, you haven't paid for your meal yet!" The owner of the small restaurant stood behind the counter, and if Su Yang took one more step towards the door, the owner would definitely rush out.

  Su Yang's thoughts returned to the table of food, oh no, earlier when Zhuo Jie left in a hurry, she was treating them but didn't pay, and now they don't have enough money on them either.

  It was originally enough, but because of that bottle of wine, why did he feel a pang in his heart, and why did he open the Fenggu bottle, Su Yang regretted it.

  It's actually just a few hundred yuan, and it wouldn't be a problem for Su Yang to go home and get it or have someone send it over, but this is a matter of face.

  Su Yang guessed what the boss was thinking: a big man taking a woman out to dinner without bringing enough money, if you don't have money then don't pretend!

  Su Yang really wanted to explain to the boss that it wasn't him who invited, but the woman who invited him to dinner, he didn't pretend. Su Yang walked foolishly to the counter, "Boss, do you think this is okay? I'll come tomorrow..."

  "What's tomorrow! Pay up now or I'll call the police. If you have any special circumstances, go to the police station and explain!"

  The boss has seen this kind of thing many times before. No matter how well-dressed the person in front of him is, he doesn't believe any of them. He only believes in money.

  Su Yang indeed wanted to say that he would come over tomorrow with the money, but there was more to it. He still had 200 yuan in his wallet, and adding the 100 yuan watch should be enough, right? Tomorrow, he could just take the money and pick up the watch.

  However, the boss's attitude was also too bad. He interrupted me before I finished speaking and only recognized money.

  Who is he, anyway? He's also a staff member of the Furong Town Government Party and Political Office. He's someone with status, Su Yang can't lose face, his watch isn't being pressed down, nor will he let his family members come to settle the bill.

  Su Yang slapped the counter with force, "Pour me a cup of tea, I'm not leaving for now."

  Fifteen minutes later, Old Wang from the town government's small vehicle team arrived, driving a car. Chen Gong's instructions were on his mind, and he looked around the government compound to see if there was an enforcement vehicle. If there was one, he would try to borrow the key and drive it over.

  The boss is standing at the counter eating melon seeds, humming, and going back to the private room. I want to see how you lose face, a small white face, no money but dare to pretend to be a big shot, spit.

  Boss looked out of the store and immediately walked out from behind the counter.

  A milk-white Jetta car stopped outside the store, with the words "Health Law Enforcement" printed on it. A slightly older man got out of the car and was making a phone call.

  The boss has now walked to the front of the Jetta car, smiling and waiting here. If it's a food safety inspection, we'll have to pay a huge fine again.

  "Hey boss, I've arrived. Hmm, okay, you're in the VIP room, right? Then I'll go settle the bill first, and you wait for me in the car."

  The boss stared at Su Yang as he got into the Jetta, oh no, I hope he's not looking for trouble on purpose. He should have said it earlier that he was a leader, nobody dares to make things difficult for a leader.

  Old Wang took out his wallet, "Boss, how much did our leaders spend? I'll settle the bill. By the way, deduct it from their account."

  The boss said, "No way, no way. How can I collect money from you? You are the people's public servants. From now on, please ask your leaders to come to our small store more often to guide our work. I won't be able to collect money, I really can't."
