Chapter 4

Finally, it was time to discuss the personnel issues of the working group. If it were a good department, people would have fought over it until their heads were broken and their blood was spilled. However, the Tianshui Dam area was a troublesome place. It was a place that could make people pale just by mentioning it, and it was estimated that no one in Linquan Town would be willing to go there.

At this moment, Wang Yuancheng, the director of the Party and government office, who had been sitting in the corner quietly taking notes, smacked his lips as if he wanted to say something. However, seeing that none of the Party committee members had spoken, he, as a mere recorder attending the meeting, felt it was inappropriate to speak. So after smacking his lips, he made no sound, giving the impression that he was yawning.

However, his actions were noticed by Secretary Qin Zhiming, who chuckled and said, "Yuancheng, speak up boldly if you have any suggestions. You are also a big manager of our Linquan Town. Why don't we form the team from your Party and government office? See who would be suitable."

"Ah! Secretary Qin. Then... I'll speak. Recently, Liu Chi from our Party and government office said that he has been here for two years after graduating from university and wants to advance. I hope the leaders can give him more responsibilities. I think it's a good thing for young people to seek progress. I also promised to mention it at the appropriate time. Moreover, Liu Chi graduated from a prestigious university, has a good education, and writes beautifully. So today..."

Wang Yuancheng spoke with a serious face, as if he greatly appreciated Liu Chi's talents and did not want them to be buried, making him seem like a true talent scout.

However, the Party committee members were well aware of the situation. Liu Chi graduated from Shuizhou University two years ago. After being assigned to Linquan Town, he initially joined the Party and government office and was quite enthusiastic at the beginning.

However, after failing to secure the position of director of the Comprehensive Governance Office a year ago, he gradually became more like a cactus, often causing small problems and conflicts for his superior, Wang Yuancheng.

Once, he even made Wang Yuancheng almost lose face. So Wang Yuancheng had long wanted to kick him out of the Party and government office but had never had the opportunity.

Moreover, Liu Chi's uncle, Liu Yongze, was a deputy director of the Yuyang County Education Bureau. Even if one didn't respect the monk, one had to respect the Buddha, so Wang Yuancheng had never found the right moment to act. This time, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Furthermore, it was called a promotion. The Party committee had just decided to form a working group in Linquan Town to be stationed in Tianshui Dam Village. The group leader would be at the section level, the same as Wang Yuancheng. It could be considered a promotion for Liu Chi. From the surface, Liu Chi would have to bring a few bottles of good wine to thank Wang Yuancheng, the person who recommended him.

"Hmm! Liu Chi is good, a graduate of Shuizhou University. Young people should be given more responsibilities. It's settled. Liu Chi will be the group leader of the Linquan Town working group stationed in Tianshui Dam Village. We need to select two more members, one of whom should be a woman. The women in Tianshui Dam are a significant force, and having a female staff member will make it easier to conduct work and have heart-to-heart talks. Deputy Secretary Cai, who do you think would be suitable from our town?"

Qin Zhiming turned to Deputy Secretary Cai Dajiang and said.

"Hmph! Qin the old fox is indeed cunning. He never thought of me when it came to sharing benefits, but he always leaves the dirty work to me, making me the scapegoat. In these critical times, it's best to avoid making enemies."

Cai Dajiang cursed in his heart because it was indeed a critical time. With Mayor Wu's suicide, as the third-ranking official in the town, Cai Dajiang had his eyes fixed on the mayor's position.

Just two hours after Mayor Wu's suicide, Cai Dajiang had already hooked up with County Chief Zhang Caizhong, expressing his loyalty.

Moreover, Cai Dajiang and Qin Zhiming usually only had a superficial relationship and often undermined each other. County Chief Zhang had also heard from the deceased Mayor Wu and had already decided to support Cai Dajiang in the county committee's discussion on the new mayor of Linquan Town.

However, Cai Dajiang, despite his thoughts, put on a very supportive face and said, "Hmm! A woman should be added. I think Chunshui from the Civil Affairs Office is quite suitable. She has a college degree. Moreover, the Civil Affairs Office is seriously overstaffed. Why do we need five people in our town's Civil Affairs Office when four would be enough? Removing one person will make it easier to explain to the higher-ups. If Chunshui performs well, she can be promoted to the section level. What do you think, Secretary Qin?"

As soon as Cai Dajiang finished speaking, Qin Zhiming almost burst out in anger and slammed the table. If it were in the military, he would have done so. Because Li Chunshui was related to Qin Zhiming, though not particularly close, she was still indirectly connected to him.

You, Cai Dajiang, know this. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult? However, since Qin Zhiming had proposed it, he had no reason to stand up and reject it. Moreover, if he rejected it, how would people view him, the top official of Linquan Town? So he could only nod helplessly and say:

"Hmm! Li Chunshui it is! If she performs well, she will be promoted to the section level by the end of the year. The other candidate is Ye Fan, who just reported this morning. This young man is excellent, a high achiever from Haijiang University. I have high hopes for him!"

At this moment, while Ye Fan was sleeping soundly, Linquan Town was a mix of joy and sorrow.

Half an hour later, the Party committee meeting ended.

Qin Zhiming returned to his office with a serious face and had to explain to his wife for a long time. He almost got a mouthful of abuse and had to pound his chest, promising to bring Li Chunshui back in three months to calm his wife, Li Zhilian, who was roaring like a lion.

"Liu Chi, you need to be mentally prepared."

Zhang Xilin, the deputy mayor of agriculture in Linquan Town, called Liu Chi, who was practicing calligraphy. Because Zhang Xilin and Liu Chi's uncle, Liu Yongze, were old classmates and had a good relationship, he had wanted to speak up for Liu Chi but couldn't immediately do so after Qin Zhiming made the decision. It was a critical time, and Zhang Xilin also wanted to sit in the mayor's seat left by Wu.

"What preparation? Uncle Zhang, please speak quickly." Liu Chi was startled and put down his pen, urging Zhang Xilin.

"Oh! It's like this. The town has appointed you as the group leader of the working group stationed in Tianshui Dam Village. Your rank will be section level..."

Zhang Xilin said the main points, "You see, the appointment letter hasn't come yet, and there's more..."

"Ah! Tianshui Dam. Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I need to go see my uncle." After hanging up, Liu Chi was inwardly sneering and cursing, "Damn you, Wang Yuancheng, you bastard. How could you come up with such a dirty trick..."

However, after cursing a few times, Liu Chi quickly called Liu Yongze.

At this moment, Li Chunshui was sitting on the bed, tears streaming down her face. Qin Zhiming's wife was comforting her. Only Ye Fan, who knew nothing, was having a beautiful dream, seemingly about a promotion, drooling all over his pillow.

The next morning at 8 o'clock.

Ye Fan arrived at the Party and government office of Linquan Town on time. Seeing Su Jiazheng, he managed a smile and said, "Ye Fan, Secretary Qin is in a temporary meeting. He asked me to tell you to wait here. After the meeting, he will talk to you and arrange your specific work. Sigh! You need to be mentally prepared."

After saying this, her face showed a hint of worry.

"Strange! I'm just a young man starting my career, and Secretary Qin needs to arrange my work. Could it be that I'm about to shoulder a heavy burden? However, from Su Jiazheng's tone, it seems a bit odd. It's really puzzling."

Ye Fan thought to himself, shaking his head.

Soon, the temporary meeting ended, and several Party committee members came out.

"You are Ye Fan, right? Hmm! You're a good young man. Secretary Qin values you highly. Get ready for a treat, hehe!"

The fat Wang Yuancheng patted Ye Fan's shoulder affectionately and said, "Secretary Qin is calling you, go quickly!"

Feeling a surge of blood rush to his head, Ye Fan almost fainted, shouting in his heart, "Damn! I wonder why I had so many dreams about promotions last night. It turns out they were coming true. It seems Secretary Qin is not bad. He must have seen the value in my degree from Haijiang University, a prestigious university. This degree is indeed impressive."

Ye Fan suppressed his joy and walked lightly, as if floating in the clouds, to Secretary Qin's office on the fifth floor. After a few deep breaths to calm his heart, which was about to leap out of his chest, he gently knocked on the door. Upon receiving a response, he gently pushed the door open and entered Secretary Qin's office. Brothers, help the author, please add to your favorites, give a vote, and recommend. Thank you!
