Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

Faced with Li Jianye's questioning, Li Zhe instinctively tried to argue his way out of it.

"No, I didn't do that."

"Still trying to argue? Look at you, all you do all day is complain and whine. I really don't know what you learned in the branch factories. All you have are bad habits."

"Uncle, are we really just going to let it go like this?"

Li Zhe was still unwilling to give up. He boasted to Miao Xiaoli in the publicity department that he would become a secretary for a leader in the near future. After hearing this, Miao Xiaoli accepted his invitation to go out to dinner that night.

Li Jianye then pulled out a document from the table, pondered for a while, and finally decided that before Lin Xianghua made a decision on the secretary, he should send Fang Yuan away as far away as possible.

After repeatedly telling Li Zhe to keep a low profile these next few days, Li Jianye finally left the office with the documents.

At this moment, Fang Yuan was thoroughly enjoying watching M select the correct answer.

When I was young, I didn't know M was a good choice; now that I'm old, I realize he's a treasure.

Even the British House of Commons uses the M election to support its agenda, demonstrating its extraordinary power.

Li Jianye strode into the General Affairs Section, lingered in front of Fang Yuan for a moment, and then coughed twice.

Fang Yuan quickly stood up and said softly, "Hello, Director Li."

To everyone's surprise, Li Jianye didn't respond at all. He just grunted in response, placed a document on the table, tapped it, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Fang, I have a difficult task for you. You must complete it."

Fang Yuan took the document and quickly read through its contents.

It turned out to be a counterpart assistance project assigned by a ministry.

It's still the pairing assistance between the steel rolling mill and Qinjiacun.

According to the document requirements, each branch of Hongxing Steel Plant has its own counterpart assistance commune. The content of the assistance needs to be determined by each branch plant based on the actual situation of each village and commune.

One of the most important conditions is that the village or community can select qualified individuals from families that are genuinely in financial difficulty to work in the factory. If their performance meets the requirements during their time at the factory, the factory leaders will ultimately decide whether they can stay on.

This means that those selected have the opportunity to change their household registration from agricultural to non-agricultural.

When the communes below heard the news, they immediately contacted their respective support units. Qinjiacun Village also approached the steel rolling mill, which initially agreed to give them five slots.

However, after the village chief of Qinjiacun returned, there was still no progress. Therefore, he wrote several letters to his superiors to report the matter, which led to the supervisory document in Li Jianye's hands.

"Xiao Fang, don't be upset. As a college student, you should go deeper into the grassroots, travel around, and see more. This will benefit your future development." Seeing that Fang Yuan did not express his opinion, Li Jianye immediately offered a small compliment.

Fang Yuan put down the documents and immediately replied, "Director Li, I'm not upset. I'm just worried that I haven't done this kind of assistance work before and I'm afraid I won't do a good job."

Upon hearing this, Li Jianye was even more delighted. That was exactly what he wanted—for you to know nothing. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Go ahead and relax. Just stay for half a month and get a good understanding of the situation in Qin Family Village. In particular, see if those families who want a spot are really in trouble. Try to appease them as much as possible, but don't agree to any other conditions."

After saying that, he left without looking back before Fang Yuan could ask any further questions.

Inside the office, the other colleagues, upon hearing Li Jianye assign this task to Fang Yuan, all glanced at him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Zhe, in a gloating tone, remarked, "Oh my, so college students are going to the countryside?"

Fang Yuan pretended not to hear the dog barking. This guy was like a bat with chicken feathers stuck to it; he was no good.

The more you pay attention to him, the more enthusiastic he becomes.

Seeing that Fang Yuan wasn't talking to him, Li Zhe didn't want to make a fool of himself any further. He couldn't help but whistle and happily walked out.

Qian Jianing, who had been listening the whole time, walked over to Fang Yuan, her face full of indignation, as if she wanted to stand up for Fang Yuan. She said, "If you ask me, you just helped the steel mill people put out the fire. It's one thing not to praise you, but how could you cause something like this?"

Fang Yuan glanced at her upon hearing this.

Qian Jianing realized she had let something slip, so she immediately waved her small hand in front of her mouth a few times, then smiled at Fang Yuan and continued, "You don't know, do you? This steel mill thing has been going on for half a year now. They promised them a spot, but then they regretted it. This is the third time you've gone down there. Before, it was always the steel mill's people who went down on their own. I don't know why it's our factory office's turn this time."

"Moreover, they received quite a lot of supplies from the logistics department when they went down there."

Seeing this, Fang Yuan could easily understand.

At this moment, Qin Wei, the head of the Second Comprehensive Section, also chimed in: "That's right, Xiao Qian is right. In my opinion, this job will never be assigned to us in the Comprehensive Section. We won't be able to eat or sleep well down there. I've heard that the people in Qin Family Village are not easy to deal with."

Fang Yuan couldn't quite grasp the meaning behind Qin Wei's words, so he smiled and said, "I felt it was a good trip. I think Director Li probably wanted me to develop in all aspects and get more experience. I should thank the organization for giving me this opportunity."

As for the poor conditions Qin Wei mentioned, Fang Yuan didn't care much. In his previous life, he had come up from the countryside step by step, so it would be good to go down and see for himself.

Seeing that Fang Yuan didn't respond, Qin Wei could only leave with a disappointed and uninteresting remark: "Then you'd better get ready quickly, go back and bring all your clothes and stuff, I'll get you a letter of introduction right away."

After saying that, he still said unwillingly, "Xiao Fang, if you have any thoughts or opinions, you can report them to the higher-ups. Our factory office isn't ruled by him alone, and it's not like some people can cover up everything."

Fang Yuan then realized that Qin Wei was instigating him to cause trouble for Li Jianye.

It seems that Qin Wei and Li Jianye are not on the same page.

However, he himself was completely under someone else's thumb, yet they still wanted to use him as a pawn.

Do you really think Fang Yuan is stupid?

After seeing off Qin Wei, who had stirred up trouble, Fang Yuan shook his head and put the matter out of his mind. He thanked Qian Jianing and then went straight to Li Jianye's office.

Since we want him to appease the people of Qin Family Village, we should naturally bring some gifts with him.

He wasn't a novice. Even the highest-ranking leaders in later generations would prepare rice and oil in advance when they went to offer condolences, otherwise the people wouldn't give them a good look.

"Fang Yuan, is there anything else?"

Seeing that it was Fang Yuan knocking and entering, Li Jianye asked expressionlessly.

"Director, you know my situation. I don't even have a bicycle, so it's inconvenient for me to go down. Besides, I heard that the comrades from the steel mill gave me quite a lot of things the last two times they went down."

Li Jianye looked at Fang Yuan in surprise, not expecting that he knew these things. He thought to himself that someone under his command must have deliberately leaked the information.

He originally intended to let Fang Yuan continue in this dazed and confused manner, but now it seems that won't work.
