The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "Your arrangement is good. Don't let Principal He Chunsheng do anything extreme."

Huang Ming continued, "The central school in Laoyan Town has completed the centralized operation of basic education. If Dong Xuexi stays there, he cannot give full play to his talents. He can complement He Chunsheng at No. 7 Middle School. Let Hou Weigui go to Laoyan Town and serve as the principal of the central school."

Chen Shi nodded: "Director Huang, from now on you will be fully in charge of the Education Bureau. You don't need to ask me. I believe in you. You will completely change the education in Chunyang County and get rid of the status quo of a backward county in education."

"I still want to work under you and listen to your guidance in the future." Huang Ming said sincerely, "Old leader, are you free tonight? The leadership team of the Education Bureau would like to see you off and congratulate you on your promotion."

Huang Ming had invited him several times, and Chen Shi couldn't refuse: "Director Huang, I have plans for tonight. Let's get together tomorrow night."

"Okay," Huang Ming said with a smile as he left the office.

After get off work, Chen Shi asked Yang Bin to drive him to Lao Huang's farmhouse.

The car drove into the farmhouse, where Xu Pingan, Zhang Hu, Wang Tao, Liu Feng, Li Li, and Wang Haiyang stood at the entrance waiting.

As soon as Chen Shi's car stopped, Zhang Hu rushed over ahead of the others and opened the car door for Chen Shi.

"Former Boss"

Chen Shi got out of the car and patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder: "You've gotten even darker."

"I don't like sitting in an office. When solving cases, I prefer to go to the scene and take a look, which makes it easier to find evidence."

"Well done!" Chen Shi wanted to say, "I didn't misjudge you," but he didn't say it.

Xu Pingan and the others walked over, and Chen Shi grasped Xu Pingan's hand: "Pingan, you've gained weight."

Xu Ping'an smiled and said, "Men tend to gain weight after marriage." He wanted to say, "You've gained weight too," but he didn't say it aloud.

Chen Shi shook hands with Wang Tao: "Wang Tao, you're not young anymore. I heard you don't have a girlfriend yet."

"Thank you for your concern, former boss, but I haven't met anyone suitable."

Chen Shi shook hands with Liu Feng, Wang Haiyang, and Li Li in turn.

When Lao Huang learned that Chen Shi had come, he quickly came out. It had been half a year since any county leaders had visited.

"County Chief Chen, leaders, please come inside."

Chen Shi said, "Old Huang, I'm craving fish soup. How many bowls would be enough for us?"

"Give me two bowls first, and I'll bring more if that's not enough."

When it came time to order food for the gathering, Wang Tao arranged for a large private room. As everyone went inside, Zhang Hu stepped forward and pulled out chairs. Chen Shi called out, "Everyone, please sit down, don't stand."

Chen Shi sat down, and then the others sat down in turn.

Xu Pingan sat to Chen Shi's left, and Liu Feng sat to his right. Apart from Chen Shi, Liu Feng held the highest position; he was the deputy director of the county party committee office, a section chief.

Xu Ping'an is currently at the deputy section chief level, as are the others.

Wang Tao ordered three bottles of good wine. When the waiter brought the wine over, Liu Feng stood up, took the wine, opened the bottle, picked up a decanter, and poured wine for everyone.

Old Huang brought in fish soup, took bowls, and served a bowl to everyone, saying with a smile, "County Chief Chen, leaders, please enjoy your soup. If you need more, just call me and I'll bring you more."

Chen Shi called out, "Old Huang, have a drink before you go."

Chen Shi picked up his wine glass, and Liu Feng quickly handed Lao Huang a glass of wine. Everyone picked up their glasses and drank a cup.

Chen Shi was thinking to himself that he might need Lao Huang's help in some way, so he was very polite to him.

The private room became lively as everyone reminisced about their experiences during the police crackdown on organized crime, and laughter filled the air.

Chen Shi hadn't been this happy in a long time. Everyone came to toast him, and he accepted every toast, drinking himself into a stupor.

He was helped into the car by Zhang Hu and Wang Tao.

Everyone suggested sending Chen Shi back, but Yang Bin said, "Leaders, I've been driving for County Chief Chen for several years, I can take him back myself."

Yang Bin drove Chen Shi home. Jiang Yiqiu hadn't returned yet, so Chen Shi was home alone.

Chen Shi felt nauseous and, as soon as he got home, he rushed to the bathroom and vomited uncontrollably.

After vomiting, I felt better and thought to myself, "I'll never get drunk again."

Chen Shi said to Yang Bin, "Go back and rest, I'm fine."

Chen Shi returned to his bedroom, feeling dizzy, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

When I woke up the next day, I saw that it was eight o'clock. I went out of the bedroom and saw Yang Bin sitting in the living room with soy milk and fried dough sticks on the dining table.

Chen Shi asked, "You didn't go home last night?"

"Chen County, you were drunk and home alone. I was worried about you, so I slept in the living room overnight."

Chen Shi didn't say anything and went into the bathroom. Yang Bin had cleaned the bathroom thoroughly last night and even sprayed perfume on it.

After having breakfast, Chen Shi got into the car and went to work at the county government.

"Yang Bin, once I've established myself in the county government, I'll assign you the position of deputy section chief in the logistics department and gradually work out your deputy section-level benefits."

Yang Bin drove his car and said, "County Chief Chen, I'm content just to work under you. I don't care whether I get promoted to deputy section chief or not."

Sometimes, the more indifferent a subordinate seems, the more a leader will want to help them solve the problem. This is what Yang Bin's wife told him.

Chen Shi knew Yang Bin's personality well; he was not suitable to be a leader, but he wanted to enjoy the treatment of a leader.

When the car arrived at the county government, Chen Shi suddenly remembered that when he took the college entrance examination in 2004, he passed by the county government with his classmates and said to them at the time, "I wish I could work at the county government someday."

Ten years later, it became a reality.

When Chen Shi arrived at the office, he saw Lu Nan, the deputy director of the government office, cleaning the office and organizing documents.

"Director Lu, there are cleaners available to clean the office; you don't need to do it yourself."

Lu Nan smiled broadly: "County Chief Chen, we only let the cleaners clean the outside areas. The leaders' offices contain confidential documents, and we're afraid the cleaners will leak them."

I didn't have much to do this morning, so I came over to clean your office and organize some documents.

Chen Shi sat down, and Lu Nan took a thermos, poured water for Chen Shi, and placed it within easy reach of him.

Chen Shi knew that the government office was Zhang Kaizhi's territory, and this Lu Nan area didn't seem to be one of Zhang Kaizhi's people.

Previously, there was a plan to transfer Yang Xiaobo to the government office as deputy director. However, there were two deputy directors in the government office, and there were no positions available. The main reason was that Zhang Kaizhi would not allow his people to get involved in the government office.

Chen Shi looked at Lu Nan: "Director Lu, could you please inform Liu Feng, the deputy director of the county party committee office, to come to my office?"

Chen Shi was able to call to test whether his words would be effective in Lunan.

With a smile on his face, Lu Nan walked out of the office to inform Liu Feng.

The government needs to have its own people to run the business; Chen Shi needs to observe Lunan for a while longer.

Liu Feng quickly arrived at Chen Shi's office: "Old boss, you wanted to see me?"

"Liu Feng, please sit down."

The two sat down in the reception room, and Chen Shi said, "Liu Feng, I want to build a highway that runs through Heyuan Town, Shangying Town, Fushan Town, Huangchang Town, and Laoyan Town, connecting to Yixing County in Nanxi Province."

The head of the Transportation Bureau is very important to me. I want you to go to the Transportation Bureau and take on the top position. What are your thoughts?

Liu Feng was thinking of changing jobs. He was Liu Youguang's secretary, and Zhang Xiangdong would not give him an important position. If he didn't leave the county party committee office, he would be transferred sooner or later.

"My dear boss, it is my honor to work under you. I am willing to go to the Transportation Bureau to prepare for the initial road construction."

Chen Shi nodded in satisfaction. With Liu Feng in charge of the Transportation Bureau, his orders could be effectively communicated.
