Chapter 132: A Delicate Situation

  After going to work, Xu Shaojie did not forget the matter between Gu Xuejie and Zhu Zongxiang. Now it seems that he has fallen into this vortex and wants to retreat completely, which is basically impossible. Zhu Zongxiang is an old leader with a keen sense of smell, so he must understand the subtleties involved. However, since it's already been done, Xu Shaojie won't regret it. Fortunately, there's still some leverage left. Moreover, Zhu Zongxiang is closely tied to Mayor Huang Haitao and originally had an ordinary relationship with Secretary Ding Yuan. Now that Zhu Zongxiang's weakness has been grasped, it's likely that in the future, if Secretary Ding Yuan and Mayor Huang Haitao have conflicts, Zhu Zongxiang won't dare to do anything.

  Xu Shaojie was still thinking wrongly, nothing had happened between Zhu Zongxiang and Gu Xuejie, would Zhu Zongxiang be afraid of such a thing? Since the meat that was about to be eaten was lost, it's better to abandon it completely. Zhu Zongxiang is not a philanthropist, keeping Gu Xuejie in the judicial bureau, what's the point of that?

  Two days later, Xu Shaojie received a call from Gu Xuejie.

  "Director Xu, the Judicial Bureau suddenly started cleaning up its staffing, and my leader told me to get ready because due to financial difficulties, they are planning to lay off some temporary workers."

  Xu Shaojie was speechless for a moment, and Zhu Zongxiang also became fierce, saying that he would take action immediately. Xu Shaojie had thought about it before, maybe after a while, Zhu Zongxiang would find an excuse to let the Judicial Bureau fire Gu Xuejie. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zongxiang acted without hesitation, which shows that he didn't care at all.

  "What's on your mind, Little Gu?"

  "I can't lose my job, I don't want to go back to being a stripper."

  Gu Xuejie on the phone seemed to be holding back her emotions and actually sobbed softly.

  "Don't worry, since I said I'd help you, I won't just sit back and do nothing. I'll see things through to the end, that's my principle. Wait for two days at the judicial bureau, and after I've handled it, I'll give you a call."

  After Huang Meng left the typing room, the two girls in the typing room were a bit overwhelmed. However, since entering the municipal party committee office was not easy, this problem had not been resolved. Xu Shaojie considered letting Gu Xuejie enter the typing room of the municipal party committee office. Previously, Xu Shaojie still had some concerns, but now he had thoroughly thought it through. Since Zhu Zongxiang didn't care, he could also be indifferent, so let Gu Xuejie work in the municipal party committee office and see what attitude Zhu Zongxiang would take and how he would react.

  Xu Shaojie went straight to Liao Hongyun, who was the Secretary General. In Liao's eyes, this kind of thing didn't count as anything, and since Xu Shaojie had introduced it, Liao wouldn't oppose it either. He immediately expressed his agreement and told Xu that Gu Xuejie could start working at any time.

  Xu Shaojie dialed the court's phone number.

  "Find Gu Xuejie."

  "Oh, Little Gu has left and is no longer working at the Judicial Bureau."

  "What? Wasn't she still in your unit yesterday?"

  "She left yesterday, where are you from, what do you want with her?"

  Xu Shaojie didn't answer and hung up the phone. Xu Shaojie couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, the action was quick enough, Zhu Zongxiang had just brought up this matter, and the leader of the Judicial Bureau immediately implemented it, implementing the leader's instructions overnight, not simple.

  Xu Shaojie immediately thought of Gu Xuejie's current situation, which must be very frustrating. After finally getting a stable job, she watched as the work was lost, and didn't know what mood she was in. Thinking of this, Xu Shaojie couldn't sit still, he went to Secretary Ding Yuan's office, said he would go out for a while, and quickly came back.

  Xiao Liu drove the car and took Xu Shaojie to Gu Xuejie's residence. It was daytime now, and Xu Shaojie finally got a clear view of the surroundings, which didn't look very good. The exterior of the house looked somewhat dilapidated, apparently having not been maintained for a long time.

  Xu Shaojie knocked on the door several times. He thought Gu Xuejie was not at home and turned to leave when the door opened.

  Gu Xuejie's eyes were slightly red, obviously having cried, seeing Xu Shaojie, a hint of color flashed in Gu Xuejie's eyes and quickly disappeared. Nowadays, where can you find such a good job?

  Xu Shaojie entered the house and saw some inferior cosmetics laid out, it seemed that Gu Xuejie was preparing to put on makeup and continue working at the song and dance hall. People without a livelihood sometimes have nothing.

  "Xiao Gu, I didn't expect the Judicial Bureau to fire you so quickly. I only found out when I called the Judicial Bureau. You should have called me and told me."

  "Director Xu, thank you, I know you can't do anything about it either."

  "Alright, pack up and I've found a job for you, now follow me to work."

  Gu Xuejie's eyes suddenly had color, wanting to ask but too embarrassed to ask, Xu Shaojie knew that the job was not going well and the girl couldn't bear it.

  "I work in the typing room of the municipal party committee office, also as a typist. Do your job well, this job is very stable. The situation in the municipal party committee office is complicated, after going there, dress more simply and pay attention to your words and deeds at all times. I will introduce a few people to take care of you."

  Gu Xuejie really didn't expect that she and Xu Shaojie, who had no relationship whatsoever, not even a gift-giving one, would have him help her out so much. For a moment, Gu Xuejie was at a loss for words.

  "I'm in a bit of a hurry, wipe your face, I'll wait for you outside."

  Before Gu Xuejie could speak, Xu Shaojie had already left the room.

  A few minutes later, Gu Xuejie came out, having changed her clothes to a white shirt and black trousers. After getting in the car, Gu Xuejie was a bit nervous, but Xu Shaojie didn't say much. When they arrived at the municipal party committee office, it was like this at first, but she would get used to it after a few days.

  The typing room is still under Huang Meng's management, but Huang Meng has already become a leader, although he is the deputy director of the department. When Xu Shaojie brought Gu Xuejie in front of Huang Meng, he found that Huang Meng's eyes were not right.

  "Director Huang, this is Gu Xuejie. She used to work as a typist at the Judicial Bureau and has been transferred to the Municipal Party Committee Office today. She will be working in the typing room from now on. Please take care of her from time to time. I'll talk to Director Qiao about it later and handle the necessary procedures. Little Gu, this is Director Huang, your direct supervisor from now on. If you have any questions or don't understand something, please ask Director Huang. Director Huang, thank you for taking care of Little Gu."

  Xu Shaojie had just left, and Huang Meng immediately pulled Gu Xuejie's hand and asked.

  "Little Guo, you're so pretty! How did you get to know Director Xu? Director Xu is so nice to you, you're really not bad!"

  Gu Xuejie had already sobered up at this moment, saw Huang Meng's eyes and knew that Xu Shaojie in the municipal party committee office must have an unusual relationship or charm. She lowered her head and replied softly, of course not telling the truth, just saying that she had known Xu Shaojie before and asked Director Xu for help this time.

  Soon, Qiao Yurong also came over and saw Gu Xuejie. Huang Meng took Gu Xuejie to the personnel department to fill out forms. Qiao Yurong had already known that someone was going to come into the typing room, both Secretary Liao and Xu Shaojie had said so.

  After work, Gu Xuejie was dazed and didn't know what to do. At this time, Huang Meng came over, smiling and holding Gu Xuejie's hand, and started speaking.

  "A new colleague has arrived, we must celebrate, but we have no money. Wait a minute, let me see if Director Xu has any tasks that need to be done, I'll ask him to treat us. He's the big boss, his words count, even if he's busy, I'll still ask him."

  Watching Huang Meng call Xu Shaojie, Gu Xuejie only knew that there was such a procedure. When she went to the Judicial Bureau, she had never encountered it before. Of course, Gu Xuejie wouldn't know about it; those were things Zhu Zongxiang had emphasized should be kept low-key.

  "Hehe, we're lucky, Director Xu doesn't have much to do this afternoon, but we still need to wait a bit. Director Xu is quite busy and gets off work late. Never mind, I'll tell Big Sister Qiao, you just wait here."

  More than 20 minutes later, the group set off. Two male companions, Xu Shaojie and Qian Dazhi, joined in. In such a situation, Xu Shaojie had to invite one companion; otherwise, they would all be female companions, which would be difficult to deal with.

  The atmosphere of eating was great, everyone had a drink, but they all drank very little. Gu Xuejie relaxed and showed off her drinking capacity, toasting everyone. Xu Shaojie watched with wide eyes, never expecting that Gu Xuejie could drink so much.

  Gu Xuejie returned home and threw herself onto the bed, crying heartily. This time, working at the municipal party committee office as a typist, Gu Xuejie felt a big difference from her previous job at the judicial bureau. Everyone spoke to each other with courtesy, without the strict hierarchical atmosphere of the judicial bureau. Gu Xuejie knew that Xu Shaojie had played a role in this, and she couldn't believe that such a big thing had been accomplished without spending a single penny. The image of Xu Shaojie was deeply etched in her mind. After crying, Gu Xuejie felt that everything around her looked much more beautiful, which was due to the change in environment and her mood following suit.

  Zhu Zongxiang felt extremely uncomfortable, never expecting that Gu Xuejie would work in the municipal party committee office. Although he wouldn't have direct contact with a typist, Xu Shaojie's actions seemed to be deliberately provocative towards him. At this moment, Zhu Zongxiang wondered if Xu Shaojie had become arrogant, daring to do such a thing.

  Such things, Zhu Zongxiang didn't dare to mention, Xu Shaojie followed Ding Yuan secretary all the time, Zhu Zongxiang thought that in the future, he must severely punish Xu Shaojie, Ding Yuan can't stay in Huaiyang City forever, just wait and see what you will do after Ding Yuan leaves Huaiyang City.

  Xu Shaojie never easily introduced anyone, but after Gu Xuejie entered the municipal party committee's typing room to work, her beautiful and lively personality immediately caught everyone's attention. Ding Yuan knew that Gu Xuejie was introduced by Xu Shaojie, so he also wanted to figure out the reason behind it, especially since he was very clear about the relationship between Xu Shaojie and Tang Wanyu - at this time, nothing problematic could be allowed to happen.

  Xu Shaojie stood in front of Ding Yuan, thinking nervously about how to respond.

  "Shao Jie, don't be ambiguous, tell the truth, otherwise I'll go ask Gu Xuejie directly."

  "I'm telling you, Secretary Ding, I'm telling you, you mustn't go and ask Gu Xuejie directly, or there will be trouble."

  Ding Yuan quickly became interested, and Xu Shaojie said that in general, there were sufficient reasons for the things he said, but this time, he didn't know what the reason would be.

  Xu Shaojie didn't hide anything and told everything from start to finish. Ding Yuan listened with his eyes wide open, if Xu Shaojie hadn't said this thing, Ding Yuan would have thought someone was telling a story.

  "Shao Jie, you're really bold, daring to do something like this."

  "Secretary Ding, I had no choice either. Since we've started doing something good, I didn't expect Secretary Zhu to do this, so I introduced Gu Xuejie to work in the municipal party committee office."

  "Go on, say it all, what else is on your mind, be honest."

  Xu Shaojie hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out.

  "Secretary Ding, I think this is also a constraint on Secretary Zhu. Although nothing has happened, Secretary Zhu had such thoughts. If they were exposed, it would be very unfavorable to Secretary Zhu. Now that Gu Xuejie is in the municipal party committee office, from now on, when doing things, Secretary Zhu will definitely have some reservations because Gu Xuejie is right next to him."

  Ding Yuan smiled, it seemed that Xu Shaojie was indeed a difficult person to deal with.

  "Shaojie, this is a conspiracy! Earlier, you used a clever tactic to deal with Zhu Zongxiang, but now it's a covert scheme. What kind of job couldn't you find that you had to come to the office and put Gu Xuejie under Zhu Zongxiang's nose? This will make Zhu Zongxiang feel like there's sand in his eyes, very uncomfortable! Shaojie, don't you think about yourself?"

  "Secretary Ding, I'll follow you, don't worry."

  Hahaha...

  Secretary Ding smiled, Xu Shaojie's face turned red. It seems that he had some ideas and couldn't hide them from Secretary Ding. Things have come to this point, and there is no other choice but to make this decision now. Saying it out loud now, relying on Secretary Ding's big tree, isn't a bit too late?

  "Secretary Ding, I admit my mistake, I didn't inform you in a timely manner."

  "Never mind about these things, it's okay if we're a few days late."
