Official career: From director to secretary, I want to improve myself

Vice Minister Wang proposed these things, and Zhao Lichun played the biggest role in it! Logically speaking, Secretary Zhao of the Provincial Party Committee wanted to promote this plan, and it shouldn't be the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department who said so.

This also shows that the communication between Zhao Lichun and Minister Chen Jing was not smooth. Perhaps, he did not communicate with Minister Chen at all, and may have just talked about it briefly before the meeting.

Otherwise, Minister Chen’s expression wouldn’t be so bad.

Now, even the meetings within the Organization Department cannot be passed. Let’s see what tricks they will come up with next.

Jiang Yuan was also very sure of what Secretary Zhao was thinking this time.

The Provincial Party Committee of the State Organs was not taken seriously at that time. Perhaps some provinces had not established one at all, but Handong Province had established one.

And the agency staff is fully staffed.

Most of them are close to the Zhao family, and some places are given to cadres such as the Standing Committee. Then they may find that there are positions, but they are a little short.

And the current situation is not easy to upgrade.

So this plan was made. As to whether this was actually planned by Secretary Zhao Lichun, Jiang Yuan felt that it was debatable.

Although Secretary Zhao Lichun later fell from power, more problems probably came from Zhao Ruilong and other members of the Zhao family. He had fewer problems of his own, otherwise he would not have been regarded as a reform pioneer.

In the years since Jiang Yuan came to Handong, Secretary Zhao has always maintained a positive attitude in dealing with some problematic officials.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan also believed that he would not fail to seriously consider the impact of this plan.

Wang Yifeng’s goal is too ambitious!

Jiang Yuan felt that this matter was probably a plan thought up by someone in the Zhao family, who might not have even told Zhao Lichun about it, and then went directly to the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to promote it.

After all, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department is the official department in charge of cadre organization work. All cadre files are kept here, and those at the department level are also kept in the Municipal Party Committee Organization Departments of the cities below.

This thing is done!

The Zhao family deserved to be eliminated in the future, as there was really no one left to shoulder the responsibility. Therefore, it was no wonder that Zhao Lichun later supported Gao Yuliang, saying that he would succeed him as the Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee.

When it comes to raising the next generation, the Zhao family is really no good.

Jiang Yuan just watched the second half of the meeting.

However, many of the matters that were voted on were related to him, so Jiang Yuan continued to be busy.

The director of the Personnel Department of the agency, Brother He Zheng, came to Jiang Yuan with a list.

"Alright, Director Jiang, I think you should be called Deputy Minister now. You have enough people under you, and a Deputy Minister only has so many people under him. In my opinion, you should just propose to the Ministry and the Provincial Party Committee to establish a Cadre Supervision Department, a direct subsidiary of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, with a structure similar to the Provincial Party Committee Inspectorate."

"You become the Minister, and I'll be your Director of Personnel. How about that? Then we can become bigger and stronger and create even greater glory!"

He Zheng smiled and joked, but his heart was filled with envy.

Jiang Yuan came to the Cadre Supervision Office because he was the one who sent him there. At that time, the office only had three sections and fewer than 30 people. Now, with the subsequent expansion of the three sections and the reporting information reception center, the number of people has exceeded 60.

I have to say, Jiang Yuan’s career as an official is really good!

Those of them who were well-informed knew a little about how Jiang Yuan came to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. They had originally planned to place him in the Development Planning Commission, but unexpectedly someone intervened, so General Manager Mu simply let Jiang Yuan move to a more eye-catching position.

The higher-ups need to strengthen supervision of cadres, and the document must be kept top secret until it comes down.

Besides, at that time, we were still preparing for the meeting to change the leadership, and no one could have predicted the spirit of the instruction document issued by the bosses in the meeting.

I can only say that luck is something really mysterious.

"Come, look at these comrades. I picked them all especially for you!"

The list contains the recommended personnel to be added to the Cadre Supervision Department after its further expansion.

Jiang Yuan took a look and actually didn't recognize any of them.

He put down the list and said with a smile, "Brother He, please don't laugh at me. With so many people here, it's going to be difficult to manage them. As the old saying goes—people are afraid of fame, just like pigs are afraid of being fat. From now on, as our Cadre Supervision Department becomes more powerful, the risks and pressures we bear will also increase!"

"Besides, it's even more eye-catching! This is really giving me trouble, and it's not a good thing!"

Jiang Yuan looked distressed.

"Hey! How about you become the director of the Personnel Department, and I'll take over as the director of the Cadre Supervision Department?"

He Zheng said jokingly with a smile.

"That's it."

Jiang Yuan smiled and refused.

"I'll take another look at this list. After I'm done, I'll find time to have a good chat with you. I've only been in the Organization Department for less than a year, and I've been busier. I can't quite figure out the relationships within this department, so I need your help, Brother He!"

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Jiang Yuan was also being cautious. He only took a quick look at the list and knew that there must be extraordinary people behind these people.

One deputy director, three deputy director-level supervisors, and four deputy director-level transfers.

There was a lot of debate within the Organization Department over these four places, and some people were about to have their brains beaten out!

How to balance the relationships among all parties while also shutting up some people requires Jiang Yuan to think carefully.

Although the Organization Department is high-ranking and has great power, in terms of the level of its personnel, except for the additional Minister Chen Jing who is at the vice-ministerial level, it is not much different from other provincial party committee and provincial government agencies at the bureau level. It may be that there are more people, and the levels of some vice-ministers are higher.

Deputy director level is already the backbone of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department! Not to mention the deputy director with real power, that is a piece of fat meat, attracting countless sharks.

According to Minister Chen, he should be fully responsible for the personnel replenishment of the Cadre Supervision Department this time. He, as the director of the Cadre Supervision Department, has the final say on who comes in and who doesn't, who gets promoted, and who holds what position.

This will really test Jiang Yuan’s ability!

Moreover, these days, there's a tendency in government agencies to assume you have a special background if you get a promotion. Some see every personnel adjustment as a compromise resulting from a grappling game between various parties.

Over a long period of time, the overall atmosphere among cadres has become corrupt.

When people want to get promoted, the first thing they think of isn't performance, but running around, offering gifts, and seeking connections. For example, the sayings circulating in recent years: "If you don't run around or offer gifts, you'll be demoted. If you run around but don't offer gifts, you'll stay where you are. If you run around and offer gifts, you'll be promoted!"

This kind of atmosphere is not only prevalent in other departments and agencies, but has been rampant for a long time within the Organization Department!

It is a test for Jiang Yuan to make a choice so that he can strengthen the Cadre Supervision Office, balance the relationships among all parties, and shut up some people who make sarcastic remarks.
