Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

"I remember your family isn't from Changyun County..."

Tan Yuan was still chattering about arranging matters for Secretary Li to take up his post in Huaiyin Brigade. Tan Yuan was very satisfied with this new laborer. After all, Secretary Li had worked as a clerk in a government department, so his ability to handle affairs must be good.

Secretary Li did not interrupt her, but listened carefully and nodded in agreement after Tan Yuan finished speaking.

"So when are you moving your things? Then ask Zhang Erwa to help you. Zhang Erwa is our brigade's tractor driver, you should know him. Forget it, I'll go and call him. And we have to clean up the room quickly..."

Tan Yuan recounted what happened after Secretary Li moved in as she walked out. It seemed that she couldn't wait to let Secretary Li move to Huaiyin Brigade to start working.

"Secretary Li, hurry up and catch up..."

"Li Ze."

"what?"

Tan Yuan widened her eyes.

"Li Ze, my name."

But since he was originally here to be a secretary, it seemed right to call him Secretary Li. Li Ze quickly added, "You can call me Secretary Li, Director Tan."

"Li Ze, my name is Tan Yuan, you can call me whatever you want!"

Tan Yuan showed a standard eight-tooth smile with curved eyebrows and eyes. After she finished speaking, she turned around and led the way, shouting about looking for Zhang Erwa to help move things.

Li Ze was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to his usual self and followed Tan Yuan's pace.

Tan Yuan, the factory director who has not yet officially taken office, now has a secretary, and looks quite capable.

Zhou Lihua saw that there was another male comrade around Tan Yuan. She had seen this male comrade before. He was a man around the commune secretary and an official.

Having lived in Huaiyin Brigade all her life, Zhou Lihua could be fierce in front of the people in the brigade, and could even scold the educated youth all day long without repeating herself. But when facing someone like Secretary Li, she immediately became timid and didn't dare to even look at Tan Yuan.

This scene looked completely different in the eyes of the other two people with ulterior motives. The difference was that one of them now looked down upon Tan Yuan just as much as Zhou Lihua did, fearing that he would be punished, while the other's hatred for Tan Yuan grew deeper and deeper.

But he couldn't cause any trouble to Tan Yuan.

Tan Yuan, on the other hand, feels much more relaxed now with the addition of Li Ze as her secretary. Many things that she doesn't need to do personally are handed over to Li Ze. She can then take time off in the team and think about how to make extra money.

Tan Yuan was a little uncomfortable with the sudden relaxation she had experienced, as she had been busy like a top every day.

When people have free time, they can't help but think about all kinds of things. So Tan Yuan thought of Guan Jianguo, who had left Huaiyin Brigade for some time and was on a business trip.

"I don't know where Comrade Guan Jianguo is now. He told me to go to the county to look for that kid if I need help. How about I go and ask about the black market?"

These days, if you want to make extra money, you can't avoid the black market. Tan Yuan also wants to go to the black market to see if there is a chance to double her money.

The thought flashed through her mind. Zeng Erwa was just a child after all, not her own. If the matter was exposed, she would be in big trouble.

As for making money...

Tan Yuan could only comfort herself and wait until the right opportunity came.

The educated youth in the brigade had a commotion because of Liang Jin's incident, and finally got a satisfactory answer. However, Zhou Zhigang suppressed the matter so much that no news of it could be heard outside the Huaiyin Brigade.

Section Chief Wu of the county did not receive the news and was still trying hard to put pressure on Zhou Zhigang.

Section Chief Wu climbed up to his current position step by step from a small clerk, and he was determined to move up. Now that he has the opportunity, there is no reason not to do his best. He has also made a group of like-minded partners.

This group of people united to want a young educated youth to return to his registered place of residence. It was not difficult at all. They promised the secretary of the Huaiyin Brigade some benefits, or at most promised to find a way to transfer him to the county. They all thought so and acted in the same way.

Normally everything works, but he happened to meet Zhou Zhigang, who doesn't play by the rules.

When Zhou Zhigang received the call and heard the promise, he said that words were not enough. If he wanted to sign, he had to provide evidence that he would be allowed to take up the position in the county after the matter was settled.

"So you're waiting here!"

Section Chief Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, he was just that kind of person and had done such things before. He didn't find it strange that the brigade secretary of Huaiyin Brigade was such a person. Instead, he felt a lot more relaxed.

It is a good thing to ask for something, but the worst thing is to meet someone who asks for nothing.

There was nothing wrong with the document, but he couldn't write it himself. Section Chief Wu arranged for his brother-in-law to do it, and Zhou Zhigang didn't force it. The brother-in-law was fine, as long as there was a document.

Section Chief Wu had no doubts. He believed that Zhou Zhigang was a smart man, as smart as he was.

But he soon stopped laughing. Not even a day after his brother-in-law wrote the document and handed it to Zhou Zhigang, he was taken away for investigation.

Something happened to Section Chief Wu, and the Liang family got the news quickly. When Liang Weiguo returned home, his face turned purple.

"Lao Liang, what should we do? Let's think of another way, son..."

When Liang Weiguo heard his wife ask what to do, he felt extremely upset. Why did he marry this woman in the first place?

Not only can she not provide any help at home, but she is also not smart. When encountering problems, she only asks what to do, and doesn't know how to use her rusty brain. If only I had married her...

And in a distant desert, a group of people are nervously looking at data.

"Failed again..."

After staying in the desert for a long time, the woman's face was no longer as beautiful and charming as before, but she possessed a temperament that no one else had. At this moment, she looked frustrated, but it was only for a moment. She quickly cheered up and started over again.

She has been here for more than ten years and has no idea what is happening in the outside world.

Some people fail and some succeed. Guan Jianguo in Pengcheng had originally decided to make his last trip back to Changyun County, but opportunities always come so quickly. If he doesn't seize them, he may never encounter them again.

Pengcheng is a coastal city that makes a living by fishing. Guan Jianguo has been staying in a small fishing village in Pengcheng for half a month.

The fishermen here are so poor that they can barely afford to eat, so they have to find other ways out.

Smuggling is not unfamiliar to this city, especially since Hong Kong is just across the sea from this city. As long as a batch of goods is shipped from Hong Kong, it can make a fortune.

The villagers of the small fishing village fish during the day and drive their fishing boats back to the village at night. Only they and their companions know what is on the boat.
