Deputy Director of Social Affairs Office Chapter 10

  The middle-level cadres in the town have all left the meeting room. "Now, according to the requirements of the municipality, the personnel on the list must be incumbent leaders, and Chen Gong's name was directly added by the municipality. I am considering that we cannot let the District Land Bureau appoint Comrade Chen Gong, it is unrealistic. So this indicator still has to come from the town, and later when Chen Gong returns to the bureau, this position will also be given up. You think about it and discuss it."

  Wang Guoqiang, as the backstage of Chen Gongming, was the first to speak out, "I think, Comrade Chen Gong is an excellent university student and also a talent cultivated by the district's land department. He can fully take on the role of director of the Planning Construction Office. As the director, he is familiar with the business and will be helpful for the development of young people in the bureau in the future. Moreover, Comrade Chen Gong has feelings for Qinghe Town, we must fully support him."

  Li Aimin didn't like what he heard, and he was particularly unhappy with Chen Gong's close relationship with Wang Guoqiang. "As a young person, Chen Gong is indeed an excellent individual, but right now he's really too young. If he's placed in such a high position, it will easily affect his future development. I think even the tallest building starts from the ground up; first arrange for him to be a deputy director for a while, and when the time is ripe, we can promote him again."

  Qizhi smiled and looked around in a circle, "You all say your opinions."

  The deputy secretary in charge of party building said, "I don't dare to say anything. If I say something wrong, it will affect the young people's political career. I don't know Comrade Chen Gong very well, so I won't express my opinion."

  Only one deputy town mayor was left, and he and Li Aimin were native to Qinghe. As the saying goes, "helping relatives is not helping reason". "I agree with Mayor Li's statement, temporarily arranging for a deputy director position."

  Guo Kesheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, "I think what Wang Zhenzhang said makes sense. We should increase our efforts to cultivate young people, and after he returns to the Land Bureau, his position will remain here in the town, still under our arrangement. Think about it, if someone with a department head title from the township goes back to the bureau, they might become a section chief or deputy section chief, and who knows, maybe later on you'll even have to go ask him for favors." Guo Kesheng deliberately brought up the Land Bureau to put some pressure on several of his deputies.

  The deputy secretary who had promised to remain neutral chimed in, "Hmmm, I took a look at Comrade Chen Gong's file earlier, he's a great comrade, I fully support him for the director position."

  The whole field was silent, and Director Guo's fart was really loud, immediately someone fell on the other side.

  Qizhao Nan made a gesture to everyone, "Alright, I've taken into account all of your opinions. It's just about whether to appoint him as the deputy director or the director. In this way, young people still need to be down-to-earth and take things step by step. First, let him go to the Social Affairs Office to serve as the deputy director. After completing the pilot work in the village, if his performance is indeed excellent, we can promote him to director later. Alright, meeting adjourned."

  Qizhou Nan slapped the board, and this matter was settled. Chen Gong was formally transferred from the Party and Government Office to the Social Affairs Office as Deputy Director. After the meeting, Wang Guoqiang informed Chen Gong of this good news in a timely manner.

  Li Fenghua also received good news through Li Jiangtao and Guo Kesheng's phone call, and was the first to congratulate Chen Gong.

  Chen Gong also encouraged Li Fenghua jokingly saying that if he were to be promoted again, the deputy director position would definitely go to Li Fenghua.

  On June 21, Chen Gong walked into the Qinghe Town Government building as usual, but this time he was not going to the demolition office, but to the village small reform pilot work group office.

  Chen Gong was still wading through the crowds during rush hour, but what's different was that everyone around him was smiling and greeting him, "Director Chen, good morning!", "Hey, Director Chen, don't forget to treat us!", "Little Chen, you're a leading cadre now..."

  "Hello Director Luo", said Chen Gong as he saw Director Luo of the Party and Government Office approaching him.

  "I didn't dare, I didn't dare. We are now on the same level, Little Chen, I said you're capable, look, it's only been a short while and you've already been promoted." Although they were both members of the reform pilot group, Luo Qingguo did not go to the reform pilot group office to work and could be said to be part-time, while Chen Gong was full-time.

  "Director Luo is joking again. This village group is a temporary organization, and the party and government office is the formal government agency. One day when the village reform is completed, I don't know where to go."

  Director Wang Zhiyuan of the demolition office walked over with a smile, "I'm telling you, Little Chen, even if the village is changed to a small group and abolished in the future, I won't let you come back to the demolition office. You don't know, do you? You're already the deputy director of the social affairs office. Once this temporary job is done, you'll be going back there. You and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

  Wang Zhiyuan was a bit unwilling, a young and inexperienced kid, actually became the deputy director, and was already very close to the director's position. So Wang Zhiyuan continued to say, "If you want to go to work at the demolition office, then I'll have to change places too. Who knows, maybe one day you'll become the vice mayor by accident? Just don't wear my shoes, okay?"

  "King Zhi Ren is good, you're joking, look at my qualifications to be a deputy town head, it's also suitable for you, if you don't become the deputy town head, it's simply a waste of talent." Chen Gong was somewhat annoyed with Wang Zhiyuan, he knew that everyone in this township office was old and cunning, as long as someone wanted to settle scores with you, you wouldn't have good days, sooner or later there would be trouble, so it's better to clarify things now.

  "Director Wang, you often say that the town head is not as capable as you are, and that everyone has to listen to your opinions. Then why are you still serving as director? You should be more humble too. Since others can do what you can't, you should reflect on yourself instead of just complaining like a shrew."

  Chen Gong also heard other staff members mention that Wang Zhiyuan was a bit arrogant, and many leaders only superficially accommodated him, but in their hearts they didn't take others seriously.

  Chen Gong also knew that he was assigned to the village reform group and served as deputy director, Li Ai Min and Wang Zhiyuan were very unhappy in their hearts. As early as when Li Ai Min and Wang Zhiyuan knew that Chen Gong and Village Xiao teacher were close, they had already put Chen Gong on the blacklist.

  Wang Zhiyuan's face sank after listening, and he said to Chen Gong, "You are now a leader in the city, I am just a small official, how dare I manage people in the city. You see that you and Director Luo are at the same level now, Director Luo can attend the mayor's office meeting and the town party committee meeting, but I am far behind. Chen Gong, you are now half a level higher than me. If I want to complete the demolition of the village primary school by the end of June, it all depends on your face." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  Wang Zhiyuan said that he would look at Chen Gong's face because the village reform pilot work was not done well, so the teachers and students of Qinghe Town Village might not move away, and the demolition work would not go smoothly. Wang Zhiyuan couldn't understand why the original task of demolishing the village school by the end of June had become his responsibility now, and he still had to look at Chen Gong's progress to decide.

  "This Wang Zhiyuan, he's got a narrow mind, can't stand others doing well. Never mind him, Little Chen, although I'm not in the village reform office, if there's anything you need or any problems, feel free to come find me anytime, I'll fully cooperate with the work. I'll head back to the Party and Government Office first."

  "Alright, Director Luo, take care on your way."

  Chen Gong walked into the newly set up village reform office, where there was a large desk, identical to those in other offices, and Chen Gong's seat was right behind that desk.

  Fuhaishi Xinqiao District Qinghe Town Village Small Reform Pilot Work Group does not have a dedicated office or staff, these people are all seconded from relevant units and other offices in the town, plus Chen Gong's office, there are 5 people in total, the rest of the leaders will not work here, they only gather together when there is a meeting.

  The detailed discussion draft of the implementation plan for the rural small reform in Fuhai City was placed on Chen Gong's office desk. As long as this discussion draft is passed at the regular meeting of the Fuhai Municipal Government, their village reform group can immediately start work and solve the problems of teachers and students going to school and employment in Qinghe Town through procedures.

  "Brother Chen, Village Director Wang wants you to go to his office for a moment." A village office staff member said to Chen Gong.

  Chen Gong came to Wang Guoqiang's office, "Xiao Chen, the Standing Committee of Fuhai Municipal Government will be convened at the latest by next weekend. The topic of village and town reform is bound to pass, and you will have a heavy burden on your shoulders at that time. You must do well, if you do well, your career will have a very good start."

  "Director Wang, I still want to thank you. The achievement you told me about last time was quite interesting. Can you give me some more guidance?"

  "Let me put it in simple terms for you, what is meant by 'political achievement' refers to the accomplishments of an official during their term in office. These achievements aren't just about doing your routine daily tasks, those things generally don't yield any notable results. You see, this point, combined with the work completed above and the work that will be recognized by superiors..." Wang Guoqiang spoke frankly and thoroughly to Chen Gong.

  "Director Wang, you are so knowledgeable, I must learn from you."

  "Chen Gong, now you just need to work hard and be down-to-earth, don't think about other things. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

  "My girlfriend, temporarily doesn't believe in love, she used to believe it during high school for a period of time."

  "Hmm, why do you say that?"

  "Town head Wang, have you heard of Xie Yunfeng and Zhang Bo?"

  "I've heard it before."

  "They're getting divorced, you know?"

  "I really don't know, I don't watch entertainment news. What are you trying to say?"

  "What I mean is that Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Bo will get divorced, love can no longer be trusted, unless Zhang Bo is with Chen Guanxi, Xie Tingfeng is with Wang Fei, and Li Yaping goes to find Zhou Xun."

  Wang Guoqiang didn't usually watch entertainment news, but he still had a general idea of the relationships between these big stars. Wang Guoqiang collected his thoughts and stared foolishly at Chen Gong...
