  Recently, there have been no leaders from the county coming to Rongcheng, so it's entirely possible to temporarily lend the reception service team's car to the external liaison team. This way, it won't delay our information team's work and also won't affect the external liaison team's familiarity with the environment.

  "When the time comes when the external liaison group really needs to have a dedicated vehicle, our information group can hand over the car to them, it's not too late!" Zhu Jiangxin didn't take Zhou Dequan's anger seriously, with an attitude of just discussing the matter at hand, making Zhou Dequan feel extremely resentful in his heart.

  Zhou Dequan parachuted into the provincial office, occupying the director's position that should have been taken by Zhu Jiangxin. Just as he was about to be promoted to deputy department level, Zhou Dequan snatched the opportunity away from him. How could Zhu Jiangxin not feel resentful and bitter? Moreover, he was originally a county-level cadre and an old comrade of the provincial office, so he didn't fear Zhou Dequan at all.

  "The external liaison team must be equipped with a dedicated vehicle, and the information team already has one. If you really need to use a car urgently, you can let Wang Qunsheng use the reception service team's car first." Zhou Dequan refused to give in, arguing strongly.

  Although he is the director, as a newcomer, he doesn't want to use his authority as director to suppress Zhu Jiangxin. This would give him an impression of being unreasonable and incompetent, relying on his official powers to suppress the deputy director, which would be detrimental to his leadership in the provincial office and affect his image among the county leaders.

  "Director, it's not that your arrangement is impossible, but do Yang Jie and Liu Fei have driver's licenses? If they don't have driver's licenses, they'll still need to learn how to drive. Are we going to let a car sit idle in the courtyard, just sunbathing?" Zhu Jiangxin said, glancing at Yang Jie and Liu Fei sitting across from him.

  Yang Jie had just graduated from college and shouldn't have a driver's license. As for Liu Fei's situation, Zhu Jiangxin was more familiar with it and knew that she didn't have a driver's license either.

  Zhu Jiangxin didn't want to have a falling out with Zhou Dequan on his first day of presiding over the provincial office work meeting.

  After all, he is the old man of the liaison office and the deputy director of the provincial government. If this matter is transmitted back to the county, although it will make Zhou Dequan lose face greatly, he does not consider the overall situation and does not obey the leadership's impression, which will also be left in the leaders' hearts, so there is no need to fight with Zhou Dequan to both suffer losses.

  Zhou Dequan only then remembered that when he saw Yang Jie and Liu Fei in the morning, he didn't ask if they could drive. If Yang Jie and Liu Fei didn't have driver's licenses, then his efforts to fight for a dedicated car for the external liaison group at the meeting would be in vain.

  Yang Jie saw the two directors, for the special car thing, in the example meeting, the gunpowder rose, at this time, the eyes of the two people were cast on him, Yang Jie smiled and stood up, "Director, I can drive, this is my driver's license."

  Zhou Dequan saw Yang Jie take out his driver's license, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. Fortunately, the previous argument had not been in vain. With a faint smile on his face, he took Yang Jie's driver's license and looked at it, confirming that it was issued by the Huaihe County Traffic Police Brigade. Only then did he close it and hand it back to Yang Jie. "Director Zhu, you don't have any other opinions now, do you?"

  Zhu Jiangxin did not expect that Yang Jie, who had just graduated from university, could drive and even had a driver's license. This was beyond his expectations, and Zhu Jiangxin's face looked somewhat unnatural as he said to Zhou Dequan: "The Foreign Affairs Office has the strong support of Director, and now we also have a dedicated vehicle. Yang Jie is also one of the top talents in our county's investment promotion work. I really want to see how long it will take for the Foreign Affairs Office to achieve results under Yang Jie's leadership."

  I hope we don't disappoint! Otherwise, if this car is given to the external liaison group and delays the work of our information group and reception service group without achieving anything, it would be a waste of the director's efforts!

  Yang Jie smiled lightly and nodded at Zhu Jiangxin, "Please rest assured, Director Zhu. With your encouragement and motivation, I will strive to achieve results as soon as possible and not disappoint your expectations."

  "That's good! Director, are there any other work arrangements? If not, I'll go to the newspaper office for a visit." Zhu Jiangxin's face had already returned to normal at this time, as if the dispute between him and Zhou Dequan earlier had never happened.

  "Dismissed! Everyone can go and get busy!" Zhou Dequan saw that Yang Jie didn't lose face for him, so his expression also eased up. He swept his gaze over the crowd, finally fixing his eyes on Zhu Jiangxin's face, taking a deep look before announcing the dismissal of the meeting.

  Everyone heard the dispersal, and they all got up and walked out of the conference room. Yang Jie and Liu Fei followed behind Zhou Dequan, walking out of the conference room, only to see two black Santana cars in the courtyard, one after the other driving away. The drivers were Zhu Jiangxin and Wang Qunsheng from the information department. Zhou Dequan's face turned dark upon seeing this.

  Just now at the meeting, Wang Qunsheng drove away the car that was allocated to the Foreign Affairs Group. It wasn't until after the meeting that it was finalized, and as soon as the meeting dispersed, Wang Qunsheng took the car away. This is how brazenly he disregards Zhou Defu, the director, showing that at this time, Zhou Defu has no authority in the eyes of the people at the Provincial Office.

  Looking at Zhou Dequan, who went upstairs with a dark face and didn't say a word, Yang Jie's eyes flashed with a sharp light. It seems that working in the provincial office is not as pleasant as he had imagined before!

  However, Zhou Dequan had already won the right for the Foreign Liaison Department at the meeting. In name, the car driven by Wang Qunsheng currently belongs to the Foreign Liaison Department. Wang Qunsheng ignored Zhou Dequan's decision and drove away in the car that should have belonged to Yang Jie, not only making it difficult for Zhou Dequan to save face but also directly slapping Yang Jie in the face.

  Zhou Dequan was able to tolerate, but Yang Jie would not indulge Zhu Jiangxin and Wang Qunsheng. Since they wanted to fight, Yang Jie was also fearless. He would draw his sword whenever he met an enemy, and never let a grudge last overnight. This was Yang Jie's creed.

  "Old Zheng, can the computers in the office access the internet?" Yang Jie asked hastily as he saw Hotel Manager Zheng Xiaohang preparing to head to the main building of the hotel.

  Zheng Xiaohang is a service-oriented person, very tactful. Although he's closer to Zhu Jiangxin, he wouldn't offend Zhou Dequan for no reason. When Yang Jie asked him this question, he smiled and said: "When the postal office came over to lay cables back then, they opened up internet ports, all offices on the second floor could access the internet, but not many people in the provincial government use computers, even fewer know how to surf the web."

  "In the drawer of the office desk where the computer is placed, there are dial-up internet account and password. However, each group in the provincial office has limited expenses, your office phone bills, internet fees, vehicle maintenance and other expenses are all tied to your group's budget, be very careful!"

  "Thank you, Old Zheng, I understand now!" Yang Jie's heart moved upon hearing this, and he suddenly thought of how to deal with Zhu Jiangxin and Wang Qunsheng.

  Since that car has been used by Wang Qunsheng for so long, it's likely that many parts need to be repaired. Rather than taking over a car that may break down at any time, it would be better to let the information department fund a major overhaul of the car and then return it to him after maintenance is complete.

  Smiling and nodding at Old Zheng, he then turned around and walked up to the second floor.

  Liu Fei took some relevant materials from the provincial liaison office in Chengdu, including some phone numbers of provincial departments and commissions, contact information of various levels of government departments in Chengdu, as well as data on folk organizations such as economy, culture, education, science and technology, media, catering, and accommodation.

  Looking at Liu Fei, who came back with a large pile of documents, Yang Jie, who was opening the computer, quickly stepped forward and took the documents from her hand, placing them on two empty office desks. "Let me do these physical tasks in the future, remember!"

  "I'm not a spoiled rich girl, do I need to trouble you with this little thing?" Liu Fei said with a smile on her face, "These are some materials collected and compiled by the liaison office over the years. I'll borrow them to take a look and copy down the ones that are helpful for our work."

  Yang Jie looked at the large pile of documents on the table, all printed on A4 paper. If they were to copy them by hand, it would take until who-knows-when. Seeing Liu Fei clenching her fists and preparing for a big effort, Yang Jie hastily said: "First pick out some useful ones from these materials, then take them out and find a printing shop to photocopy them."

  "Photocopying is too expensive, how much does it cost?!"

  Liu Fei wasn't unaware of the convenience of photocopying, but the provincial office's expenses were mainly used for external contacts and receptions, so she thought of using handwritten notes to record some important information.

  "These documents look like a lot, but actually we only need to keep about 100 pages at most. Just now I heard Old Zheng say that each group in the provincial office has limited funds, and our group is responsible for investment promotion, so I believe our group's funds will not be less."

  "So, you first pick out the materials we need to use, then I'll give you the money, and you go copy them. Later on, I'll figure out a way to get reimbursed from the director." Yang Jie smiled lightly upon hearing this, and casually patted Liu Fei's arm, signaling her to hurry up and work.

  The computer in the office was not as good as the one Liu Daxing bought for him, but it was also a 486 computer with a Windows operating system, which was not as troublesome as the DOS system. Yang Jie found a small notebook from the drawer, on which there were internet account and password, opened the dial-up software, input the account and password, and pressed the Enter key.
