Power of Money novel Chapter 153

"What's your name? How old are you? Are you still in school? What's your relationship with Jason?"

Holding Phoebe's hand, Ada looked at her with delight and asked, glancing at her and happily asking.

"Hello aunt, my name is Phoebe. I'm the same age as Jason. I've finished studying, now I'm working at the unit and I'm just good friends with Jason."

Phoebe answered Ada's question patiently with a smile on her face.

"Oh, you're his age. That's great. Where are you working?" Ada enthusiastically took Phoebe's hand, and the smile on her face got even brighter.

Jason looked at the two, speechless, and suddenly thought, if his mother knew that the girl she's asking questions nonstop, is actually the daughter of the new governor in Nandu Province, he didn't know if she would continue behaving like this...

"Are you also working at the unit? You don't look like that style..."

Sarah looked at Phoebe with a disdainful look.

In her impression, no matter in their town or in Hannah's school or in Jim's government department, she had never seen anyone dressed like Phoebe.

In her opinion, girls working in the unit should be like her, with a middle- aged woman's hairstyle and a formal suit, looking mature.

"Really? Are you also working in the unit?" Phoebe blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.

"Oh, my Sarah just got past the examination this year in Nanguan County, but she'll probably be transferred to the district in half a year at most. She's just there for orientation." Hannah said proudly.

She also felt that Phoebe didn't look like a normal civil servant, wearing fancy clothes and exposing her legs. It was obvious that she was not a child of a decent family.

"Nanguan County?" Phoebe said with a smile, "It's good. Starting from the foundation, we can cultivate the people and let them build a strong foundation. In the future, she will definitely be promoted and put in an important position."

In fact, if Hannah and her family didn't look at Jason's family with snobbish eyes, with this sentence from Phoebe, Sarah would really just be having an orientation in the county, and she would have no problem moving up the ranks.

But now, Sarah looked disdainfully at Phoebe and said, "I see you watch the news often, you know about starting from the roots with the people. I don't have much roots with that group of farmers. If it weren't for the half-year working period stipulated in the contract, I would have wanted to transfer to the district directly. I have already found the director of Education. I had enough of that horrible place."

"That's right. Our Sarah is not suitable for a small town. After this, Sarah is going to enter the local Education Bureau and work there. I hope those farmers don't think that they can keep us there by sending us that little bit of chicken, duck and fish. Even if I agree, our Old Wu won't agree." Hannah said arrogantly.

"Ah? Uncle, are you also working in the government office?" Phoebe asked in surprise.

"Ha, I'm in the government office of the New District of Nandu. I usually help the district mayor to sort out materials and prepare for meetings. As for my daily schedule, I'm just a secretary. It's not worth mentioning," Jim said flatly.

"Dad, you are too modest. Everyone knows that if the director of the district wants to see the district magistrate, he has to bow in front of you. If you don't agree, the district magistrate is just an empty-handed person. Therefore, you don't have to be a district magistrate to have power. But you are not like someone who is good-for-nothing and likes to gossip with us."

At the end of his words, Sarah deliberately raised her voice and glanced at Jason.

"By the way, after talking for so long, you haven't told us which unit you're in. Not everyone can enter the unit. Now there is a lot of manpower invested in the government. To put it bluntly, you're probably a contract worker, which is far from the permanent positions like us." Hannah said in a pretentious manner.

"Oh, I just started work this year, and I'm in the office of the municipal party committee." Phoebe said with a smile.

Spit!

Jim was drinking a mouthful of water and spat it all out.

"Where did you said you were?" Sarah also widened her eyes, full of disbelief.

"I'm the first secretary of the municipal committee. Is there any problem?" Phoebe asked in confusion.

"The first secretary of the municipal committee... Hahaha..."

Sarah couldn't help but laugh.

Hannah couldn't help laughing either. She took the opportunity to wipe Jim's mouth and snickered.

"What? The municipal party committee? What is it? What kind of unit is it?"

Michael and his wife had been living in the village their whole lives. They found out about political affairs through the news, and had never heard of this unit.

"Although it's not illegal to pretend to be a civil servant, but you have to be careful. Other people don't know what the municipal party committee's office is, but my dad does. It's the office where the secretary works for the mayor. The first secretary is the mayor's secretary! With your dressing, how would the office let you in? It would be difficult enough to meet the security guards."
