Ai Lan had always been very confident in her charm.
Having studied dance, her body's flexibility was exceptionally good. Didn't they say that if a man didn't date a dance student in his life, it would be a regret?
Plus, she had just graduated from university and was in the prime of her youth. Where could Qin Mu, a soldier, find such an excellent girlfriend as herself?
They had just broken up yesterday, and he might still be crying today. If she took the initiative to call, wouldn't he happily agree to go on a date with her?
"Crazy!"
"Beep beep beep…"
To her surprise, a curse came from the other end of the line, followed by a dial tone.
Damn it…
This guy actually hung up on me?
Ai Lan held her phone, unable to react for a long time.
He must be faking it!
Ai Lan didn't believe it and immediately dialed again. She wanted to see how many times Qin Mu could reject her.
It was nothing more than a man's vanity at play!
If she called a few more times, satisfying Qin Mu's vanity, he would definitely be willing to go on a date with her.
"Sorry… The number you have dialed is currently busy!"
Busy?
Ai Lan dialed several more times in one breath, but it was still the same prompt.
Had she been blacklisted?
Ai Lan was completely stunned. She hadn't expected Qin Mu to be so heartless, directly blacklisting her and completely cutting ties?
To be honest, Ai Lan was really a bit reluctant.
Qin Mu's physical fitness was exceptionally strong, satisfying her to the extreme every time. If it was gone just like that, what about her future 'happiness'?
Gu Lin's meager efforts really couldn't satisfy her!
…
The night passed without a word. Qin Mu had breakfast the next day and headed to the Municipal Party Committee Compound. As agreed, Minister Chen would personally send him to Huaining County for his new appointment today.
"County Magistrate Qin, you're really early."
As soon as he arrived downstairs, Xu Lu happened to come over and immediately greeted him.
"It's the first day of work, so I definitely can't be late."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Secretary Xu, I'm very sorry about yesterday. Did Section Chief Zhao bother you again?"
"No, Section Chief Zhao was just joking. It's nothing."
Xu Lu shook her head repeatedly and explained. She had acted on impulse yesterday, not knowing Qin Mu's situation, and invited him to dinner. Thinking about it now, how awkward!
Qin Mu transferred from the army and was directly appointed as Acting County Magistrate. With his powerful family background, would he lack women around him?
It was impossible for a small Secretary like herself to have any chance.
Calming down and thinking about it, her behavior yesterday was indeed a bit ridiculous.
"Let's go!"
As soon as the two finished chatting, Minister Chen of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department came down from upstairs. He exchanged a look with Qin Mu and directly said.
"Okay!"
Qin Mu followed behind, got into a black Volkswagen, and headed straight for Huaining County.
Along the way, Chen Wenhua chatted with Qin Mu and mentioned the situation of the former Huaining County Magistrate.
He had been dismissed two weeks ago, charged with power-for-sex and money-for-sex transactions, and abuse of power…
"Qin Mu, Huaining County is a poverty-stricken county with backward economic development and low living standards for its People. Your trip this time carries the great expectations of the Provincial Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee leaders."
Finally, Chen Wenhua said very solemnly, "We all look forward to you making a name for yourself."
"Please rest assured, I will strive to complete the tasks entrusted to me by the Party and the People."
Qin Mu could only straighten his back and express his commitment seriously.
Can he really do it?
Chen Wenhua naturally had great doubts about Qin Mu's words. It wasn't that Qin Mu's attitude and ability were lacking, but that the situation in Huaining County was very complex, with various forces intertwined. Even experienced politicians could easily stumble there, let alone a novice like Qin Mu with no political experience.
However, with a powerful figure guiding Qin Mu from behind, Chen Wenhua wasn't too worried. With an old soldier grandfather who had fought across thousands of miles with a million-strong army, and a father who held a ministerial-level position, how could Qin Mu be defeated in Huaining County?
It was impossible!
The car drove into the Huaining County Committee Compound and was soon met with a warm welcome.
Huaining County Party Secretary Yu Xuewen and Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee Gao Qiang, along with a group of County Party Committee leaders, stood by the side, their faces full of smiles.
"Minister Chen, on behalf of all Comrades of the Huaining County Party Committee, I welcome your presence and guidance."
Yu Xuewen clasped Chen Wenhua's hand, his face excited as he spoke.
"You're too kind. This time, I am entrusted by the Organization to bring someone to you."
Chen Wenhua smiled, pointed to Qin Mu, and said, "Comrade Qin Mu has just transferred from the army and is ready to work with you!"
"Comrade Qin Mu, this is Secretary Yu!"
After the introduction, Qin Mu quickly walked to Yu Xuewen's side.
"Secretary Yu, hello, I am Qin Mu!"
"Hello, hello, Comrade Qin Mu is truly young!"
…
The two exchanged simple pleasantries, then introduced several members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee. They then went upstairs together and entered the conference room.
In the spacious conference room, over a dozen People sat together.
The main leaders of the Huaining County Party Committee and Huaining County Government were almost all present.
"Now, let's invite Minister Chen of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department to announce the important appointment!"
Yu Xuewen presided over the meeting, briefly spoke, and then moved on to the main event of the meeting.
"After research by the Municipal Party Committee and approval by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, Comrade Qin Mu is appointed as a member of the Huaining County Party Committee, a Standing Committee member, and Deputy Secretary. He is nominated as a candidate for Deputy County Chief of Huaining County and will serve as Acting County Magistrate!"
Chen Wenhua directly announced the Municipal Party Committee's decision.
"Clap clap clap…"
As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.
"Thank you, Minister Chen, and thank the Municipal Party Committee for their support to our Huaining County."
Yu Xuewen followed closely with a series of thanks, "To be honest, the moment I saw Comrade Qin Mu just now, I felt that Comrade Qin Mu is young and energetic, and full of integrity, making one feel solemn. I believe that the Huaining County Government, under the leadership of Comrade Qin Mu, will work for the welfare of the People, for economic development, and usher in a new era for Huaining!"
"Clap clap clap…"
The loud applause ended, and everyone's gaze turned to Qin Mu.
Clearly, they were waiting for Qin Mu to speak!
"Thank you, Minister Chen, and thank you, Secretary Yu!"
Qin Mu first expressed his gratitude, then said, "I come from a military background and have transferred to the local government. Compared to the Comrades present, I am an inexperienced newcomer. My first visit to Huaining has made me feel the enthusiasm of Secretary Yu and all of you. I will redouble my efforts to live up to the trust of the Organization and leaders. At the same time, I hope to get along harmoniously with all Comrades and work together towards a common goal…"
"Clap clap clap…"
The speech was short but full of emotion.
However, Qin Mu could feel that the People present were not very welcoming of his arrival. After all, the smiles on their faces and their body language could be faked, but the indifference inadvertently revealed in the depths of their eyes could not be faked.
As the Commander of the Flying Eagle Brigade, Qin Mu might not have the cunning for political maneuvering, but he did have the ability to read People.
The upcoming work in Huaining County would likely not be easy.
