Chapter 128 Hou Liangping's Disappointment, Qi Tongwei's Request
In order to find Qi Tongwei and vent his anger as soon as possible, Hou Liangping came directly to Xingfu Reservoir, which is located near Yanshan Township, after arriving in Yantaishan County from Yantai City.
As for reporting for duty, Hou Liangping felt there was no rush.
Anyway, there's not much to do at the judicial office, so there's no difference between reporting early and reporting late.
"Where did Qi Tongwei go?!"
Hou Liangping looked at Li Jinyong, Zi Yinfa, and Lu Erbao with a disappointed expression.
"He's been transferred to the county, but we don't know which unit he's in. You'll have to go ask in the county!"
Li Jinyong said that they did not know which unit Qi Tongwei had been transferred to, only that he had been transferred to the county.
Li Jinyong didn't know where Qi Tongwei had gone either; Luo Chengcai hadn't told him.
Zi Yinfa and Lu Erbao knew even less. They had no background whatsoever, and many things had happened a long time ago, yet they were unaware of the news.
"Humph!"
Hou Liangping snorted coldly and walked away looking dejected.
"What kind of person is he, acting like someone owes him a hundred and fifty cents!"
Lu Erbao looked at Hou Liangping's back and said, "He came in aggressively and arrogantly. Does he think he's a big leader in the county?"
"Exactly, he has no manners at all. Even if we knew which unit Qi Tongwei was transferred to, we wouldn't tell him based on his attitude."
Zi Yinfa said that Hou Liangping's attitude was not like that of someone coming to find someone, but rather someone seeking revenge.
And that was indeed the case; Hou Liangping had come to seek revenge on Qi Tongwei.
Upon returning to Yantaishan County, Hou Liangping began inquiring about Qi Tongwei.
However, he couldn't find Qi Tongwei even after asking around for two or three days.
"Wasn't it said that Qi Tongwei was transferred to the county? Why can't we find him in so many units?"
Hou Liangping looked dejected, and felt even more depressed.
What happened to Qi Tongwei?
"Damn Qi Tongwei, did you betray me? Did you hide because you knew I wouldn't let you get away with this?"
Hou Liangping was filled with resentment and wanted to vent, but had no one to vent to.
Hou Liangping was so frustrated that he found a roadside barbecue stall, ordered some barbecue, and a few bottles of beer.
After eating and drinking his fill, Hou Liangping stumbled back to the guesthouse to rest.
The next day, Hou Liangping boarded the bus to Guihe Township in a sullen mood.
Unable to find Qi Tongwei, he had no choice but to report to Guihe Township first.
Upon arriving in Guihe Township, Hou Liangping felt an overwhelming heaviness in his heart as he looked at the rows of low-lying tiled houses, narrow streets, and the old township government compound.
If Guihe Township is this backward, I wonder how backward Gushanling Township, the most backward township in Yantaishan County, must be.
I don't know how Qi Tongwei managed to survive in that environment; I heard they couldn't even pay his salary on time.
I wonder if the same is true in Guihe Township, where wages are not being paid on time.
If that were the case, my life would be miserable.
Upon entering the township government, Hou Liangping inquired about the location of the judicial office and then went there to report for duty.
Upon arriving at the judicial office, Hou Liangping saw a dilapidated courtyard with a barely legible wooden sign hanging at the entrance that read "Guihe Township Judicial Office".
Upon entering the judicial office and arriving at the office, Hou Liangping saw that there were only two people inside.
"Welcome to work in River Kwai!"
After Hou Liangping explained his purpose, the older staff member helped him with the registration process and assigned him a room as his dormitory.
Looking at the empty room covered in a thick layer of dust, Hou Liangping felt like cursing.
There isn't even a bed. How is he supposed to sleep? Is he supposed to sleep on the floor?
Also, with such a thick layer of dust, don't you usually clean it?
"Comrade Hou Liangping, our judicial office has limited resources, so please make do with what you have. If you need anything, please go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it."
You can make your own arrangements today, just be on time for work tomorrow!
The director handed the key to Hou Liangping and left without waiting for Hou Liangping's reaction.
That's the standard of living at the judicial office; having a separate room is enough.
As for tidying up the room and making the bed, that's up to you.
Hou Liangping stood there bewildered, holding the key, and after a long pause, he finally found a broom and began cleaning the room.
After cleaning the room, Hou Liangping went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
"Comrade, is there a bed? One person can sleep in it!"
Hou Liangping asked the sales clerk, "Since I'm going to buy something from the supply and marketing cooperative anyway, why don't I ask them if they have any beds?"
He wouldn't sleep on the floor if you asked him to.
"Yes, do you want a better one or a regular one?"
The salesperson asked if they sold beds, as many units in Guihe Township provide dormitories for new cadres, but the dormitories were empty.
New cadres who want to live in the area have to buy their own beds, bedding, tables, washbasins, and other daily necessities.
Borrowing from people nearby is definitely not an option, since they don't have any extras either.
Therefore, supply and marketing cooperatives sold daily necessities such as beds and quilts.
"For a better option, bring another set of bedding and a washbasin..."
Hou Liangping bought a bed, as well as bedding, a washbasin, and other daily necessities. He returned to the dormitory of the judicial office to install the bed, make the bedding, and put his luggage there.
After working for most of the day, Hou Liangping finally finished setting up the dormitory.
Hou Liangping realized just from the first point how difficult it was to work in a township.
The next day, Hou Liangping arrived at the office on time, and the director gave him a stack of documents.
The director told him that his first week's work would be to study these materials.
Hou Liangping spent the next few days studying the materials.
In Biyun Township, after a full day of interviews, 24 private school teachers and substitute teachers were selected.
As a cadre in the Family Planning Office, Civil Affairs Office, Urban Construction Office, Enterprise Office, Land Management Office, Education Office, Finance Office, Foundation, and Grain Station.
These 24 private school teachers and substitute teachers will henceforth become official state cadres.
Qi Tongwei held a special meeting for these 24 teachers.
"After you go to the Family Planning Office, Civil Affairs Office, Urban Construction Office, Enterprise Office, Land Management Office, Education Office, Finance Office, Foundation, and Grain Station, you must follow the instructions of your leaders and work diligently."
Such an opportunity is extremely rare; it hasn't happened before, and it may not happen again.
Everyone should cherish this opportunity.
The township government transferred you to the status of state cadres, firstly to address the manpower shortage in the family planning office, civil affairs office, urban construction office, education office, finance office, foundation, and grain station.
Secondly, I would like to express my gratitude for your hard work in teaching over the years.
It is truly admirable that everyone can stick to their posts under such difficult conditions in Biyun Township.
Thirdly, it is to incentivize other private school teachers and substitute teachers.
As long as everyone teaches diligently and strives to improve their teaching level and academic performance, the township will resolve the issue of their compensation.
This year, in addition to the 24 of you, 10 more people will have their compensation resolved.
In other words, in another four or five years, all privately-run and substitute teachers will be able to become permanent staff and have their salaries and benefits resolved.
Qi Tongwei said that these teachers were transferred to solve the manpower problem in the family planning office, civil affairs office, urban construction office, enterprise office, land management office, education office, finance office, foundation and grain station.
We cannot allow these people to affect the work of several departments after they are transferred there.
"Yes, Township Head, we will definitely follow your instructions and work diligently according to the leader's arrangements."
The 24 teachers shouted that they must strictly follow the township head's orders.
After all, it was the township head who gave them the opportunity.
