Chapter 51: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Leader
“The first thing is about the expansion of the library. This is the support that the higher-ups have allocated to us. On one hand, it’s to make up for the losses our library has suffered. On the other hand, it’s also to increase the influence of our Jianghai city library.”
Ye Xiao, who was in the crowd, fell into deep thought.
A library was the foundation of a city. A city might not have a martial arts academy, but it definitely had to have a library.
That was because the martial arts academy only targeted and screened stronger students. There were specialized martial arts experts who carried out systematic training and were then sent to the front lines.
As for the library, it could allow the students of the martial arts academy to learn, and it could also allow ordinary people to learn. It had the widest compatibility and could be said to be the foundation of all people practicing martial arts.
Generally speaking, the size of a martial arts library was strictly determined according to the size of a city.
If a martial arts library was expanded, would it mean that the city also needed to be expanded?
Ye Xiao often read books on history and geography.
Currently, the branches of every city in the nine provinces were very reasonable. There was no need for them to rashly make changes to a city.
Could it be that… They were under pressure to the point that they had to add more large cities.
Should he say that he wanted to gather the population of the surrounding small cities instead? To form a large city?
Thinking about it carefully, it had been more than 50 years since the last beast calamity, right?
Ye Xiao’s brows were slightly furrowed.
If his assumption was true, then the problem would be very big.
An extremely powerful star beast would appear in the beast calamity, and its strength might even reach the divine grandmaster level.
Although he could kill enemies of a higher level, he was still unsure of his limits.
What if he could not defeat those in the divine sect?
Then he would be dead.
If that was the case, reading an extra hour a day might not be enough.
It seemed like he would need another half an hour.
“Manager Ye, Manager Ye.”
Just as Ye Xiao was deep in thought, Ning Yuhen stretched out his arm and held his elbow, pulling his thoughts back.
He raised his head and looked at everyone. They were all staring at him, and he could not help but be stunned. He immediately used the Big Dipper’s Grand Mystery to directly extract everyone’s memories. Only then did he understand what was going on.
The expansion of the library, coupled with Yang Zhengyi killing a few old people in the library when he stole King El’s map, now the library urgently needed to add more management personnel.
People like Ye Xiao would naturally become one of the candidates.
The other managers naturally had the qualifications as well.
Now, it was time for him to go up and give a campaign speech.
Ye Xiao coughed lightly and walked up to the stage under everyone’s gazes. He said simply,
“Thank you for everyone’s trust and the director’s trust, but I personally feel that I’m still young. The other seniors are better than me in terms of work experience and organizing activities, so I won’t embarrass myself.”
Nodding slightly in greeting, Ye Xiao walked down the stage again under everyone’s puzzled gazes.
Ouyang Yunzhong looked at Ye Xiao’s back with some surprise as if she did not expect that Ye Xiao would actually be so free and easy.
That kid’s temperament was amazing.
It was a pity that he did not awaken his soul. Otherwise, he would definitely be pretty good on the path of martial arts.
However, the election still had to continue.
“Ahem… Thank you, Ye Xiao. Next is Wang Na.”
The manslayer, Ms. Wang, was not as courteous as Ye Xiao. She went up directly to thank the director and everyone. Every time she thanked and bowed, her collar would automatically hang down.
They could not help staring but they were also embarrassed.
If Gu Hai was here, he might have already started whistling.
Ning Yuhen could not help but ask in a low voice,
“Manager Ye, why aren’t you running for election? If the election is successful, wouldn’t it be good to get a promotion and a raise? If you were to get another promotion, you should be the supervisor, right?”
Ye Xiao shook his head.
“I’m not interested.”
There were only three supervisor positions, but there were eight or nine people running for office.
It was needless to say about Wang Na. In the entire library, other than herself and Ning Yuhen, who had not fallen into her hands, the others were more or less having an affair with her.
She was a woman who stood on countless mountains!
Even if she was lying down, she was more popular than the others.
There were too many people who were her equal. If she did not go up, justice would not allow it!
Among the remaining candidates, one of them was the junior of the director and was guaranteed to be sent up. Going up to give a speech was just a formality.
In other words, there was only one spot left.
Ye Xiao could not be bothered to snatch the position from them.
Besides, so what if he managed to snatch it?
He would have to increase his salary a little more, but he would have to manage more matters. He would have to hold meetings every day to convey the concerns of the meeting of the higher-ups. If there was trouble, he would have to charge ahead.
In order to earn an extra 1,000 to 2,000 yuan, he had to buy out his youth for others. Only a fool would do that.
Ning Yuhen’s face revealed a look of admiration.
As expected of Manager Ye, who he admired the most. He was not moved at all by the promotion and salary increase.
There were really too few people who were indifferent to fame and fortune.
With someone like him who did not care about fame and fortune, and who was not greedy, he would definitely be a good leader.
Once he had decided, he would vote for him!
…
After Ye Xiao spoke, he continued to be in a daze, waiting for the meeting to end so that he could go back and read.
However, the result made him greatly surprised.
The first two predictions were correct. One was Wang Na, and the other was the junior in the director’s family.
However, the third one was actually him!
When that result came out, Ye Xiao was stunned.
His face was filled with confusion and doubt.
Were there problems with those people’s brains?
He had already said it very simply. He did not want to be a supervisor, he only wanted to be a manager. He could read books every day and improve himself.
It was better to reject it. After all, being an official was too big and troublesome.
Ye Xiao had always been a person who did not like the trouble.
Ouyang Yunzhong looked at Ye Xiao and smiled.
“Looks like little Ye is quite popular in everyone’s hearts. Since that’s the case, I think the third supervisor should be you.”.
“In addition, after the library’s reform this time, the salary of the supervisor would also be increased correspondingly. It would exceed 10,000 yuan a month.
“It will be implemented from this month.”
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment
Why not… Try It for a few days first. If it was really not possible, then choose to reject it.
After all… 5000 yuan was not just 1000 or 2000 yuan. They should still give some face.
“Today’s meeting ends here. If there is anything that everyone does not understand, you can bring it up now.”
“No!”
Ye Xiao shouted along with everyone. Ouyang Yunzhong nodded her head in satisfaction.
“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s head to our respective areas. In a while, there will be workers moving the books. All of you will be in charge of directing the positions where the books are placed and taking stock of them in detail. Don’t make any mistakes.”
“Yes!”
