Chapter 73: In every unit, there are one or two people that everyone hates.
Wang Junhua continued, "Secretary Wu, you don't know, after you were transferred to the Municipal Party Committee, everyone in our forest farm was proud of you."
I often use you as an example in meetings to educate younger colleagues, telling them that they should be like you, because gold shines wherever it is.
Back when you were at the forest farm, you were so diligent and capable. I knew then that you were destined for greatness and would soar to great heights someday.
This blatant, shameless flattery, which turned black into white, even made Huang Jianbo, who was standing nearby, frown. He couldn't help but cough twice to interrupt, saying, "Director Wang, please invite Secretary Wu and Reporter Ye to sit in the office, have a cup of tea, and we can talk slowly."
"Yes, yes, yes! Look at me, I was so happy!" Wang Junhua quickly stepped aside to lead the way, his posture humble. "Secretary Wu, Reporter Ye, please, please! We have some freshly arrived wild tea from Qinglong Mountain."
In the conference room of the field headquarters, Wang Junhua diligently made tea for Wu Zhiyuan and Ye Xiaoman.
The wild tea from Qinglong Mountain is fragrant and its aroma is no less than that of famous teas.
Ye Xiaoman interviewed Huang Jianbo, focusing mainly on how the forest farm has implemented the development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" in recent years, transforming from a focus on timber production to a focus on ecological protection, forest tending, and the development of understory economy and ecotourism.
After the interview, Huang Jianbo enthusiastically suggested, "Zhiyuan, Reporter Ye, let me take you to the forest farm for a walk and a look."
Now is the time when the trees are lush and green, and breathing in the fresh air allows us to more directly understand the ecological protection achievements of our forest farm.
Ye Xiaoman was naturally very interested.
Wang Junhua came uninvited and went along as well.
Wu Zhiyuan disliked him, but didn't want to say much.
Ye Xiaoman visited the camellia oil forest, the understory breeding, and the ecotourism route that is being planned.
Wang Junhua walked at the very back, his gaze frequently falling on the beautiful curves outlined by Ye Xiaoman's well-fitting jeans.
Ye Xiaoman's buttocks seemed to have eyes; she suddenly turned around and met Wang Junhua's lewd and greedy gaze.
Wang Junhua was startled and hurriedly looked away, pretending to look elsewhere, while deliberately saying, "The camellia trees here are growing well..."
Ye Xiaoman felt a wave of disgust, as if she had swallowed a fly.
But she couldn't confront him on the spot. This kind of "stalking" behavior is difficult to prove.
Wang Junhua could easily deny it, claiming it was an unintentional glance, or even counter-accuse her of being overly sensitive and suspicious.
Ye Xiaoman slowed her pace, letting Wang Junhua walk ahead.
Ye Xiaoman visited the camellia oil forest and the understory breeding in the forest farm, and then went to a secluded valley.
The stream flows gently here, and the environment is serene.
Huang Jianbo checked the time and said, "Zhiyuan, you accompany Reporter Ye for a walk. I'll go back to the cafeteria and arrange lunch."
Huang Jianbo intentionally created a space for Wu Zhiyuan and Ye Xiaoman to be alone.
Seeing this, Wang Junhua quickly said, "Director Huang, go back and arrange lunch. Make sure the food is plentiful; Director Gan just said he's coming over."
Huang Jianbo was taken aback: "How did Director Gan know?"
Wang Junhua chuckled wickedly, "Secretary Wu is a close associate of Secretary Xu, and Reporter Ye is a reporter from the city newspaper. Of course, I have to report to Director Gan about such important guests."
Director Gan took this very seriously, canceling his other engagements to come over.
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhiyuan frowned.
Is Atrophy Gonna come in four seconds?
When Gan Si Miao arrives, he's bound to tell a string of lies.
He also had to say things he didn't mean to appease him.
But Qinglongshan Forest Farm is Gan Simiao's territory. At least on the surface, Gan Simiao's visit is a sign of respect for him.
They are, after all, a division-level leading cadre.
Huang Jianbo took a few steps, but seeing that Wang Junhua showed no sign of leaving, he turned back and called out, "Director Wang, let's go back together!"
Wang Junhua said, "You go back first. I'll accompany Secretary Wu and Reporter Ye for a walk."
In every workplace, there are one or two people who are extremely disliked, and in fact, the kind that the vast majority of people dislike.
Wang Junhua is one example.
Wu Zhiyuan had a slight smile on his face, but said in an unquestionable tone, "Director Wang, Director Gan is coming. You should go back and receive him."
I'll accompany Reporter Ye to gather some material about the natural scenery of the forest, so I won't take up any more of your precious time.
As he spoke, he winked at Ye Xiaoman and strode forward.
Having made a fool of himself, Wang Junhua had no choice but to return dejectedly. Before leaving, he gave Ye Xiaoman's shapely buttocks one last, fierce look.
"Zhiyuan, that person is really annoying. He's like psoriasis, disgusting, yet hard to get rid of completely."
Ye Xiaoman felt like she had swallowed half a maggot whenever she thought of Wang Junhua's lewd expression.
Wu Zhiyuan chimed in: "This guy is ignorant and incompetent, and he's scheming to climb the ladder."
Some people offer their beautiful wives to their superiors in order to get promoted. I'm not making this up; there's always someone involved.
Ye Xiaoman chimed in, "As a journalist, I've dealt with all sorts of people and heard a lot of similar sordid stories."
After confirming that Wang Junhua had gone far away, Wu Zhiyuan said softly, "Reporter Ye—"
Ye Xiaoman interrupted Wu Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, we're alumni and friends, so please don't call me 'Reporter Ye,' okay? Look at me, I just call you by your name."
Wu Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback. Looking at Ye Xiaoman's eyes, which were filled with a hint of reproach and expectation, a ripple of emotion stirred in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoman. Let's continue our previous topic. I heard Wang Junhua's wife is very beautiful, and he wants to take her place—"
Ye Xiaoman interjected, "Zhiyuan, he wouldn't offer his wife to his boss, would he?"
Wu Zhiyuan shook his head: "No, this person is very cunning. He found a prostitute from a nightclub and spent several thousand yuan to pretend to be his wife. As long as the prostitute pays, she is naturally happy to do so."
Not long after, he was transferred from the township forestry station to Qinglongshan Forest Farm, where he served as deputy director and enjoyed the treatment of a deputy section chief.
Of course, these are all rumors, and one of the main figures in these rumors is about to make a dazzling appearance. He is Gan Si Miao.
Ye Xiaoman asked with a smile, "Gan Simiao?"
Wu Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes."
The two strolled along the stream, chatting about fun times from their university days, people they knew in the same way, their work, and gossip.
However, this tranquility and tacit understanding were soon broken.
Huang Jianbo and Wang Junhua accompanied Gan Simiao and Wang Meili.
It's the weekend, and Gan Simiao actually brought Wang Meili along.
Does this indirectly confirm that their relationship is extraordinary?
"Zhiyuan!" Gan Simiao called out to Wu Zhiyuan from afar.
Wu Zhiyuan pretended not to hear and whispered to Ye Xiaoman, "Gan Simiao is here."
Gan Simiao walked over quickly and called out again, "Zhiyuan!"
This time, Wu Zhiyuan could no longer pretend. He turned around, feigning surprise and delight: "Director Gan, you've come in person?"
Gan Simiao and Wu Zhiyuan shook hands warmly: "Zhiyuan, this beautiful lady must be Reporter Ye?"
Ye Xiaoman remained composed and composed, wearing a formulaic smile, and extended her hand to gently shake hands with Gan Simiao: "Director Gan, hello, I am Ye Xiaoman, a reporter from Longcheng Daily."
Gan Simiao stared at Ye Xiaoman's pretty face and said with a smile, "I read Ye's news reports almost every day. Today I am fortunate to meet her in person and I find that Ye is not only young, but also beautiful."
Gan Simiao wasn't just flattering Ye Xiaoman; she was indeed young and beautiful.
Wang Meili walked over.
This alluring and seductive woman is like a glamorous socialite.
She moved closer to Wu Zhiyuan and tried to get on his good side: "Zhiyuan, you've been away for three days, so you should be looked at with new eyes. Now you're the chief secretary of the municipal party committee."
Her gaze fell on Ye Xiaoman, and she said in an exaggerated tone, "Reporter Ye, you probably don't know, do you? The last time I came to the forest farm, I was bitten by a snake. Zhiyuan bravely risked his life, not only throwing the snake away but also sucking out the venom for me. In fact, Zhiyuan is my savior."
