At the pinnacle of power: parachuted into your hometown as a leader right from the start!

"This way, Xiao Gao can advance further, and it also makes room for Xiao Feng. Otherwise, it's inappropriate for the father-in-law to be the second-in-command of the city, while the son-in-law is the top leader or second-in-command of a subordinate county or district!"

Yu Shuming pondered for a moment and felt that he had to try to win this over.

However, he doesn't know what the Party Secretary and the Governor's attitudes are, so he needs to test them out soon.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Feng and Gao Xin stayed at the house.

It wasn't until the next morning that Jiang Feng and Gao Xin drove to their teacher's house.

Meanwhile, at the Yangcheng Hotel in Chunnan City, a group of thugs were playing billiards in the hotel lobby.

They brought in a pool table and started playing right there.

This was clearly a troublemaker, giving the manager a real headache.

Their hotel has been emptied of guests recently, whether they're eating or staying; these people are too lazy to even come in when they see these thugs at the door.

"Boss, these people have been causing trouble here, and they've ruined our business."

Manager Huang Zhong's face was full of anxiety.

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

The boss was out of town at the time and didn't know what was going on, so he could only find out from the manager.

Huang Zhong shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

"I don't know either. These people refused the money I offered, and they ignored me when I asked them to come up and talk things over."

"And I even called Niu Chen, but it turns out he's in the hospital right now."

"Boss, I heard that Niu Chen was beaten up and hospitalized by those guys. Do you think they're retaliating against us because of Niu Chen?"

The boss frowned and sighed deeply.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and I'll talk to him in person when I get back!"

After hanging up the phone, the boss, Chen Qingzhao, had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Although their hotel is quite large, it's not considered anything special in Chunnan City.

He did know some people in the higher-ups, but he was afraid that they wouldn't be properly apprehended, and that this might cause further trouble and lead to other problems, which was something he didn't want to see.

He'll go back and see what these people's appetites are. If they're not too unreasonable, he'd rather just pay them off.

This is also the thinking of most businessmen: if a problem can be solved with money, it's best to use money.

They didn't want to offend these people, otherwise, if someone with unsuspecting skills came along and killed them with a knife or a gun, they would have no one to reason with.

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng had already brought Gao Xin to the teacher's house.

"Madam, you look great lately!"

Jiang Feng smiled and praised his master's wife when he saw her open the door.

Yan Qingwan said with a smile on her face.

"Haha, it's alright, come in, come in."

As she spoke, she noticed what the two of them were holding and said irritably.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaoxin, you two just came, why did you bring things?"

Seeing this, Jiang Feng smiled and said while holding the crayfish in his hand.

"Madam, this is no ordinary thing."

Gao Xin added with a smile.

"Yes, Madam, this is a specialty product from our county. This is the first batch produced this year, and Xiaofeng and I thought we'd bring it over for you and the teacher to try."

"We made some yesterday, it was delicious, Mrs. Teacher, you should try some later."

Yan Qingwan laughed when she heard this.

"Okay, then I'll have to give it a good try later."

After the two went inside, Yu Shuming came down from the study on the second floor and gave them a faint smile.

"Hehe, Xiaofeng and Xiaoxin, you're here?"

Jiang Feng nodded and lifted the crayfish in his hand.

"Teacher, look at the crayfish we caught in our experimental field. We ate some last night, and we're bringing some for you and your wife to try right away."

Yu Shuming nodded slightly.

"Okay, put it down. Come up here, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Feng smiled and agreed.

"Then, Madam, I'll go upstairs first."

Yan Qingwan pulled Gao Xin's hand and sat down to the side, waving her hand impatiently.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I have something to tell Xiaoxin."

Jiang Feng smiled and then went up to the teacher's study on the second floor.

He went in and, without any ceremony, took a cup and made himself a cup of tea.

Yu Shuming smiled as he saw this.

"You really don't hold back at all, do you?"

Jiang Feng's face was full of naturalness.

"Teacher, it's fine to be polite with others, but why should I be polite with you?"

"If I act like an outsider, won't my master's wife be heartbroken?"

Yu Shuming glanced at Jiang Feng, then inquired about the situation below.

Jiang Feng recounted to the teacher what he had told Gao Yuqiang the day before.

"Teacher, we're going to be expanding this on a large scale next year. If you have time then, would you like to come and take a look in person?"

"If the comrades in the county knew that you were coming in person, they would definitely be more motivated."

Yu Shuming waved his hand and said.

"We'll talk about next year next year. I'll call you in advance if I have time then."

Jiang Feng immediately nodded.

"Okay, teacher, then I'll take that as a prior agreement."

Yu Shuming pointed at Jiang Feng, the student who was taking advantage of the situation.

"You little rascal, you really know how to take advantage of a situation. By the way, there's something I'd like to hear your opinion on."

Jiang Feng looked puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Shuming pondered for a moment before speaking.

"You've been working in Yuanchang County for over a year now, haven't you? You've achieved quite a bit. What are your plans for next year?"

"Are you planning to continue working in Yuanchang County, or will you be transferred to another county or district?"

Jiang Feng understood what his teacher meant; this was a suggestion for him to make a positive impression next year.

"Teacher, if possible, I would definitely like to work in Yuanchang County, since I am familiar with the situation here."

"But my identity is not suitable. It's not appropriate for me, a local, to be the top two leaders, let alone my father-in-law who is the second-in-command in the city. It's even more inappropriate for me."

"Besides, I'll only have a little over two years left at the end of next year, isn't that inappropriate?"

Yu Shuming waved his hand slightly.

"You don't need to think so much. If you want to stay in Yuanchang County, I will try to get your father-in-law transferred. As for not having enough seniority, you don't need to worry about that either."

"You've achieved so much in Yuanchang County, which is obvious to everyone. No one will say anything if you're promoted out of turn."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately understood what his teacher meant.

The teacher has thought all of this through.

"Teacher, I want to stay in Yuanchang County to continue working, but if I stay, where will my father-in-law be transferred to?"

Yu Shuming glanced at Jiang Feng and then shared his thoughts.

"Jin City, Jin City is currently lacking a top leader, so it would be more suitable for Xiao Gao to take the position."

"I'll try to arrange things for Xiao Gao before the new year, because I won't have much time after that."
