Chapter 208: He probably really has never been beaten.

Bai Nuo finally realized that the Lu family and the Xu family had a grudge. Although only a few people knew about that phone call, when Bai Nuo went to meet up with his friends after work, he discovered that in just one day, the entire Qishui Brigade knew that Xu Jiabao's territory had been completely cut off.

"It's not just the entire Qishui Brigade, it seems like the whole commune knows!" Chao Xianhua couldn't hide her schadenfreude, her head slightly lowered, trying not to let others see her smile.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Bai Nuo looked at Chao Xianhua in surprise.

“It’s not an exaggeration!” Xie Weidong shook his head, trying to maintain a serious expression, but his eyes couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile. He coughed lightly, “When I went to the commune this afternoon to submit an application for the brigade leader, I already heard people discussing this matter there.”

"Submit an application?" Bai Nuo raised an eyebrow, thought about it carefully for a moment, and then looked at Xie Weidong with surprise, "Is there any progress on that matter?"

Xie Weidong smiled and turned to look at Fang Meng. He really hadn't expected that this guy had connections even in the commune.

"Don't look at me, that person isn't as close to me as this girl!" Fang Meng raised his hand and patted the little girl's head.

"Huh?" Bai Nuo looked at the two of them in confusion. What were they talking about? Why did it seem like it was related to her?

Fang Meng didn't hide it. Since they were the only ones around, they weren't worried about being overheard and affecting Xie Weidong's reputation, but he still kept his voice down considerably.

"Although Captain Uncle intends to let Weidong join the brigade headquarters, the leaders of the commune still need to give their approval. It's not like no one in our Qishui Brigade has relatives working in the commune. There are quite a few people who want their children to join the brigade headquarters as clerks or accountants."

But no matter how powerful their relatives are, they're not as useful as yours. That's why I had your cousin go to Yuanshan Commune to put in a good word for you the day before yesterday.”

"I see!"

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded. No matter how high the official position of the commune leader was, it couldn't compare to the position of the secretary-general of the county government's secretariat.

Neither Bai Nuo nor Fang Meng, nor even Xie Weidong and his group, saw anything wrong with using connections or back channels.

Each of them comes from a well-off family, especially Fang Meng and Bai Nuo. They come from prominent families. Not to mention the Wei family, even the Zhou family and the Fang family have several distinguished ancestors.

Even Bai Nuo's maternal grandfather's Bai family was once a prominent Confucian family. It is said that their ancestors even produced Grand Tutors for three dynasties. However, the family later withdrew from the court and returned to the countryside to live a peaceful life, but they never relaxed their education of the younger generation.

However, neither Bai Nuo nor her older brother were suited to the refined, scholarly education style of their maternal grandfather; instead, they learned the survival skills of the Wei family.

The Wei family's way of survival has never been to abandon the connections and resources they have at their disposal to compete with ordinary families in terms of so-called fairness and justice.

Although Bai Nuo had mental disabilities, her grandmother never neglected her education. She taught her everything that needed to be taught, and even when there was no response, her grandmother never gave up on her. In her grandmother's eyes, she was never a fool, but just a sick child.

She remembered what her grandmother had said: there is no true fairness or justice in this world, and the wealth, connections, and resources that her ancestors had worked hard for for them, the younger generation, would become part of their strength.

Those who don't know how to use it well are the real fools.

Now that Xie Weidong has become the brigade clerk, it would be more beneficial for them, and since her cousin from the Yu family has just been promoted to secretary-general of the county government's secretariat, it would be a good opportunity to use him.

Indeed, after Fang Meng repeatedly dragged An Yun onto his unusual "pirate ship," An Yun, who originally only wanted to coast along in the small county government secretariat, was forced into the position of secretary-general of the county government secretariat, and her direct superior became the county's top leader, Secretary Li.

In the commune, his words carried far more weight than those of a minor leader. He didn't even need to be explicitly told; a simple hint was enough for the commune leaders to know what to do.

After all, it was just a minor clerical position in a production brigade, which, to put it bluntly, was just a matter of a word from the commune leader.

"Then I must congratulate Comrade Xie in advance." Bai Nuo looked at Xie Weidong with a smile.

"Don't be ridiculous, you two didn't make fun of me!" Xie Weidong smiled helplessly, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at the two of them.

“If it weren’t for you two, I wouldn’t have been able to get a job as a clerk, let alone a scorekeeper or warehouse keeper. Even if the brigade leader valued me highly, he couldn’t ignore the wishes of the majority of the villagers. But now, because of you two, the commune has issued the appointment notice directly. In the end, I should be thanking you.”

"Hey, we're all on the same side, don't say such things. Having you at the brigade headquarters makes things much easier for us. My grandma always said that friends should help each other out."

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Once the notification comes down, I'll treat you to a good meal."

"I think this is the most important thing!" Chao Xianhua nodded quickly from the side. Gatherings and the like are the happiest.

This story begins with the incident where the former clerk of their brigade headquarters caused a scene in the brigade commander's office.

Their Qishui Brigade has a large number of people and even more things to do, but very few cadres in the brigade headquarters. Apart from the brigade leader and Secretary Lu, who are the top two leaders, there is only Aunt Liu Hongying, the women's director, and a clerk who also serves as the accountant and the head of the animal husbandry team.

Next are the team leaders of each production team. However, these team leaders have limited abilities and can only be responsible for simple tasks such as personnel arrangements for each production team. They cannot play a significant role in other matters.
