The next day, Yan Fei accompanied Secretary Jiao to the bustling construction site.
Looking at Secretary Jiao's outfit, if an unknowing person were to see him, he would never guess that this man was the top official of the county. A white poplin shirt, a pair of army green pants, and a pair of Jiefang shoes.
He wasn't wearing these clothes when he arrived; he and Secretary Xiao Zhao hadn't taken the county committee's car but rather the minibus that runs between Tanghe County and Sancha River Town—an episode that caused quite a laugh. Yan Fei and his group were waiting at the west end of the bridge when the two of them, too rule-abiding, sat in the bus until the final stop instead of calling out for an earlier disembarkation.
The group was looking towards the west, expecting to see the county committee's car, only to find the two men walking over from the east and realizing that the people they were meant to receive had already arrived.
