Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Liu Chuan snorted and was too lazy to answer.

Xiao Yawen refused to accept this and immediately opened the door and said to a middle-aged man in his forties outside, "Director Yin, my Liu Chuan is not feeling well and has a high fever. He has asked for leave."

"Who did you ask for leave from? How come I don't know?"

Director Yin's face darkened and he said unhappily.

Liu Hongyi watched coldly.

Yin Lingshan, a former cadre at the regional agricultural committee, had been criticized by Liu Chuan for work-related issues and forced to publicly self-criticize at a cadre meeting. This loss of face had left him with a deep grudge. However, Liu Chuan was his superior, leaving Yin Lingshan with few opportunities for revenge. Over a month ago, Liu Chuan was demoted to the Yanggou Cadre School, much to Yin Lingshan's delight.

He was the vice-president of Yanggou Cadre School, deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, and the third-in-command.

In turn, he became Liu Chuan'an's immediate superior.

Therefore, during this period, Yin Lingshan targeted Liu Chuan everywhere and assigned him to do all kinds of hard work. He simply treated Liu Chuan as a "certain type of element" who was sent to a cadre school for "reform."

Xiao Yawen was so angry that he quarreled with him twice.

"We asked Director Wu for leave."

"Hmph, your face is so rosy, what's wrong with you? I think you're just pretending!"

Yin Lingshan's triangular eyes scanned the people in the room, and it was obvious at first glance that they were people with bad intentions.

"If you don't believe me, go to the clinic and ask Doctor Chen. My fever is 39.7 degrees Celsius!"

"Everyone knows that my husband, Lao Liu, is a down-to-earth person. He's not like some people who are picky about their work and don't work for two days!"

Xiao Yawen herself was a cadre from a government agency, and she was not the kind of ignorant country peasant woman. The third in command of a cadre school in Yinlingshan District could not scare her.

"Who are you talking about? I'm telling you, Xiao Yawen, don't think it's still the same as before. You're just district cadres. Once you're in Yanggou, you have to follow the rules of the cadre school. No one is allowed to get special treatment!"

"Who's doing something special?"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Liu Chuan had to step in to smooth things over. He waved his hand and said, "Director Yin, I do have a fever. I'll take a day off. I'll go back to work tomorrow when I feel better!"

There's no point in arguing with a villain like Yin Lingshan.

"Humph!"

"Don't you know the rules? No matter who you are, you must get my approval if you want to ask for leave. I'm the deputy director in charge of political work. Asking for leave from others doesn't count!"

At this moment, a voice called out from the reception room: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, Team Leader Liu, the phone is ringing... It's from the Local Revolutionary Committee..." (Note 1)

"Oh, here we come..."

Liu Chuan struggled to get out of bed and looked at Liu Hongyi.

Liu Hongyi smiled slightly.

I know the job is coming!

He immediately stood up and helped his father walk towards the message room.

Yin Lingshan immediately followed, his face full of suspicion.

I don’t know why the Local Revolutionary Committee called Liu Chuan at this time. It always feels like something is wrong.

"Hello, hello, I'm Liu Chuan..."

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Chuan picked up the phone, Kang Jisheng's voice came from the other end.

"Haha, Lao Liu, thank you for your hard work! I'm Kang Jisheng..."

Kang Jisheng laughed it off and seemed very friendly and easy to talk to.

Liu Hongyi suspected that this guy would be furious if he failed to stop him in the photo studio. But he had to call Liu Chuan immediately to implement Liu Hongyi's "instructions" to avoid any more trouble.

"Hello, Director Kang!"

Liu Chuan said neither arrogantly nor humbly.

"Haha, Old Liu, it's like this. I just met with Director Gao and the others. We think that Old Xiao from the Yanggou Cadre School is old and in poor health. The organization should pay more attention to veteran comrades, so we plan to transfer him back to the region."

"I propose that you serve as the director of the Revolutionary Committee and secretary of the Party branch of the Yanggou Cadre School, taking over Lao Xiao's position. Director Gao and the others have all agreed in principle."

"..."

Yin Lingshan, who had been standing not far away and "eavesdropping" with his ears perked up, was suddenly stunned, his face full of shock and confusion.

How is this going?

How come in the blink of an eye, Old Liu became Director Liu.

The top leader!

"Director Kang, thank you for the organization's trust in me. I feel that I am still somewhat lacking in ability and am afraid I am not suitable for such a heavy burden. Please leaders of the Local Revolutionary Committee carefully consider this!"

Liu Chuan spoke meticulously according to the standard wording.

As a human being, we should be humble and cautious.

You can't just burst into laughter when your superiors say you are appointed as the top leader. That would seem too superficial.

"Hahaha, I know about you, Old Liu. You're very capable. You've even been the head of the regional agricultural committee. Setting up a small Yanggou Cadre School shouldn't be a piece of cake, right?"

"Haha, this is a collective decision made by several key leaders of the Local Revolutionary Committee. Stop being so modest."

"Ok, deal!"

"From now on, you must take charge of all the work at the Yanggou Cadre School, do it well, and ensure its implementation."

"Those stubborn elements who refuse to repent must be strictly monitored."

"Anyone who refuses to reform honestly will be resolutely fought!"

“To touch the soul!”

"You understand what I mean?"

Kang Jisheng used abnormal means to get the position of deputy director of the regional revolutionary committee. He always disliked the orthodox cadres who were sent to the cadre schools to work, such as Commissioner Ai, Secretary Huang, and Chairman Zhao. He would make trouble for them whenever he got the chance.

"Yes, Director Kang, I understand."

Liu Chuan agreed with his mouth, but sneered in his heart.

Kang Jisheng, this gangster member of the "Zao Mou Faction", actually hoped to use Liu Chuan'an to bully others.

It's really hopeless.

"Also, Lao Liu, let me ask you something. Has your child gone to your place?"

Then, Kang Jisheng changed the subject and began to inquire about the news.

Liu Chuan sneered in his heart again and said, "Thank you for your concern, Director Kang. My child has come to my place and I have got the things. Please rest assured, Director Kang, I will keep them well and will not lose them."

Kang Jisheng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the worst outcome had occurred.

That little bastard Liu Hongyi had indeed gone to the Yanggou Cadre School. Now that the things were in Liu Chuan's hands, it was obviously unrealistic to try to get them back.

It seems the only option is to compromise.

He laughed heartily and said, "That's good, that's good. Tell him not to be afraid of those street thugs and hooligans, and to come back to school without worry. If anyone really dares to mess with him, tell him to come to me and I'll take care of it for him!"

"Of course, children should still read more and stop thinking about those messy things. It won't do them any good."

Kang Jisheng threatened in a timid manner, laughed twice, and then hung up the phone.
