Chapter 7: Learn to act stupid

Qin Mu had no political experience, but he had experience leading troops.

Based on his understanding of the various departments of the County Government, the County Government Office was the most important to the County Magistrate.

It's simple: the County Government Office is the County Magistrate's eyes and hands. Outside news is transmitted to the County Magistrate through the County Government Office, and whatever the County Magistrate wants to do is coordinated and notified through the County Government Office. If the County Government Office cannot be of one mind with the County Magistrate, then Qin Mu's work will definitely be difficult to carry out.

Qin Mu didn't know much about Director Duan, the Director of the County Government Office, and he didn't know whose man he was. So, at this time, he needed to go the grassroots route, get to know the other staff members of the County Government Office, and see if he could pick one or two capable individuals to counterbalance Director Duan.

While Director Duan went to get the list, Qin Mu looked around his office. It was over a dozen square meters, with a row of bookshelves, a desk, and a few chairs. Its square shape was very much in line with the government's style.

A few days ago, he was still training new recruits in the military compound. Now, sitting in the County Magistrate's office, looking at the desk full of documents, it was a different kind of experience.

"County Magistrate, here are the details of all the members of the County Government Office!"

Soon, Director Duan walked in with a stack of documents and placed them in front of Qin Mu.

"Alright, wait for me for a moment."

Qin Mu nodded slightly, picked up the documents, and began to read them.

What does he mean?

I have to wait?

Director Duan was very confused. He didn't understand the style of this new County Magistrate and didn't know what his approach was.

Upon taking office, he wasn't thinking about getting to know other county leaders or how to build a good relationship with Yu Xuewen, the head of the County Party Committee, but instead focused on the County Government Office.

It was truly strange!

"Call these two people in!"

Qin Mu scanned the list, finally pulled out two sheets of paper, and said, "First, please call Han Ying, and then Jiang Haoxuan!"

Han Ying!

Jiang Haoxuan!

Director Duan listened to the names of these two people and found it very difficult to understand what this new County Magistrate intended to do!

Han Ying was the Deputy Director of the County Government Office, second only to him, so it was normal for the other party to want to see her. As for Jiang Haoxuan, someone who had only been in the County Government Office for half a year, what was the point of the County Magistrate seeing him?

"County Magistrate, that... May I ask, what kind of work are you seeing them about?"

Director Duan braced himself and asked.

"What, do I need your approval to see someone?" Qin Mu retorted.

"No, no, you are the County Magistrate, you can see anyone you want. I was just curious and asked. If it's about work, you can ask me. I know everything about the entire County Government Office."

Director Duan quickly explained.

"Han Ying is an old Comrade, I'll just chat with her. As for Jiang Haoxuan, he graduated from Jiangnan University, he's a top student, isn't he? I need a secretary, and he's quite good!" Qin Mu said casually, "Do you still have any questions now?"

Needs a secretary?

Director Duan immediately said, "County Magistrate Qin, actually, I've already arranged a more suitable secretary for you. He has been working in the County Government Office for two years, and he's experienced. Jiang Haoxuan is a newcomer after all, and he might not be up to the task of being your secretary!"

Oh?

More suitable?

"Then let's meet him together later, I'll consider it."

Qin Mu's question was simply to clear a potential obstacle for himself. The person Director Duan recommended would definitely be Director Duan's confidant, so Qin Mu naturally had to be wary of such a person.

"That... He just happened to take leave today. How about... I'll have him come tomorrow, and you can find some free time to meet him."

Director Duan smiled awkwardly and quickly said.

Took leave?

Qin Mu combined what the other party said and casually asked, "The person you're talking about, wouldn't he be Gu Lin?"

"Ah... You know him?" Director Duan was stunned and subconsciously asked.

Indeed!

Fang Ailan's new boyfriend really had some background. Not only was he in the County Government Office, but he could also be so strongly recommended by the Director of the County Government Office. His backing must be considerable.

Why is the County Government Office so popular?

It's precisely because the County Government Office is very close to the leaders, making it easy to be noticed and promoted by them. And becoming a leader's secretary makes promotion even easier.

According to conventional development, after two years as a County Magistrate's secretary, when the County Magistrate gets promoted, the secretary is assigned out, usually starting as a section-level Town Party Secretary, with a high probability of becoming a Town Party Secretary!

Two years for a section-level position is naturally very worthwhile.

"I've heard of him. We'll talk about it tomorrow. You go ahead and arrange for the two I mentioned first."

Qin Mu waved his hand and instructed.

"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away!"

Director Duan quickly walked out and notified both Han Ying and Jiang Haoxuan. Both were very surprised, especially Jiang Haoxuan, who was completely bewildered and even a little flustered.

He had only been in the County Government Office for half a year, and to be honest, he was still in the stage of familiarizing himself with the work. The newly appointed County Magistrate specifically asked to see him, so he was naturally a bit nervous.

"Don't be nervous. Just answer whatever the County Magistrate asks. If you want to be more relaxed, you need to learn to act dumb. If you're too smart, you'll have to take on more work. Think about it."

Director Duan patted Jiang Haoxuan's shoulder and said a few more words, as if he was giving Jiang Haoxuan advice.

Learn to act dumb?

Jiang Haoxuan carefully pondered this sentence, but he was a bit confused. Usually, Director Duan barely bothered to look at him, so why was he suddenly giving him advice?

It was a bit illogical!

Director Duan naturally wasn't trying to advise Jiang Haoxuan, but rather hoped that the other party would hide his abilities in front of the County Magistrate and act a little dumb, so that the County Magistrate wouldn't think highly of Jiang Haoxuan.

At that time, the County Magistrate would definitely be more willing to accept his suggestion and let Gu Lin be the County Magistrate's secretary.

Gu Lin had a family background, and Director Duan giving him this opportunity was also to curry favor with the Gu Family, considering his own future career.

Anyway, it didn't matter who became the secretary; Director Duan naturally wanted to give the position to someone who could help him.

Thinking of this, Director Duan quickly walked to the side and called Gu Lin.

"Director Duan, you're looking for me!"

As soon as the call connected, Director Duan heard Gu Lin's voice. The other party's voice was strange, as if he was panting heavily and trembling violently.

"Just a reminder, be at work on time tomorrow. The new County Magistrate has already arrived, and I recommended you to be his secretary. You took leave today and missed the best opportunity. Prepare well tomorrow and try to make a good impression on the new County Magistrate."

Director Duan said in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay, I remember, Director Duan, thank you for the reminder."

Gu Lin on the other end of the phone immediately thanked him.

"Alright then, that's it!"

"Okay, okay!"

After Director Duan finished his instructions, he was about to end the call, but Gu Lin on the other end seemed even more eager than him, immediately saying "okay, okay" twice, seemingly impatient!

Director Duan didn't think much of it and subconsciously prepared to hang up, but then a woman's cry suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"This kid..."

"He took leave again to go play with his girlfriend!"

Director Duan was speechless for a moment. He knew that Gu Lin had just started dating a girlfriend who was particularly beautiful and had a good figure, and he even managed to get her into his County Government Office. This kid wasn't coming to work at all; he was clearly here to honeymoon with his girlfriend!

Sigh...

Who told him his family had a big shot?
