Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

When the Provincial Party Committee Office announced the cadre selection, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge wave in the entire Liaoan provincial system.

What is even more striking is that the selection criteria this time are extremely relaxed, with no restrictions on majors, positions, or even qualifications!

It is even more relaxed than the "three no-limit" positions at the grassroots level in later generations.

The only requirement is that applicants must be under 35 years old.

Such favorable conditions are undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people who aspire to work in higher-level units.

The Northeast region has always had a strong "establishment complex". Here, no matter how successful a person is outside, it seems not as solid and reliable as having a stable civil service job.

The target unit for this selection is actually the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, so you can imagine how attractive it is.

Soon, a piece of news about the allocation of quotas for selected candidates caused an uproar on the Internet.

It turned out that the 20 selected student positions that Wen Tao had previously offered were only open to graduates from two universities in Liaoan.

This practice was severely criticized by many netizens, who accused the Liaoan Provincial Party Committee Office of being unfair and unkind.

Faced with public pressure, the Liao'an Provincial Party Committee, after careful consideration and comprehensive weighing, decided to expand the number of selected students to the national level and to all graduate student groups.

Once this news was announced, it immediately attracted a large number of talents to sign up.

According to statistics, the final ratio of the number of applicants to the number of admissions was an astonishing 100:1.

Among them, there are not only outstanding students from universities across the country, but also many top students who graduated from top universities such as Jinghua University.

After all, being able to work in the Provincial Party Committee General Office is an opportunity that you probably won’t encounter many times in your lifetime.

After all relevant procedures were successfully completed without any omissions, the highly anticipated selection examination of the Provincial Party Committee Office finally officially kicked off.

This exam is of extraordinary significance and its importance is self-evident.

The most crucial step – the formulation of the exam questions – was personally undertaken by Wentao. He not only meticulously conceived each question, but also strictly controlled the entire question-setting process to ensure the scientific and fair nature of the questions.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of the test questions to the greatest extent possible, Wentao specially entrusted the printing work to a heavily guarded prison in Liaoan Province.

After all the test papers were printed, armed police forces were arranged to escort them throughout the process and deliver them safely to each examination room.

Such strict measures make it difficult for anyone to access or obtain test information.

However, even with such a thorough deployment, Wentao still had a trace of worry in his heart.

After all, the starting point of this exam is unusually high, which will undoubtedly attract some unscrupulous criminals to rack their brains and find ways to steal the exam questions.

That's why he's extra cautious.

On the morning of the exam day, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth.

Wen Tao led Sun Chenghu, Meng Xiangteng, Ji Yang and other capable people to the examination site early and began to conduct inspection work carefully and meticulously.

The first day's exam subject is the essay, and candidates need to develop an argument based on the given topic.

When the essay question was presented to everyone: "Please talk about the unique features of the city (township) where you work, and how to make full use of these features to lead the poor on the road to prosperity..."

At this time, Li Jianwei, the county party secretary of Zhucheng County, Bengang City, was sitting in this examination room.

When he first caught a glimpse of this familiar question, a glimmer of surprise flashed across his originally calm eyes, and he seemed to come alive all of a sudden.

The position that Li Jianwei is participating in the selection for this time is one of the few leadership positions released by the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee - Director of the Institutional Affairs Center.

The essay topics for this position are very different from those for other ordinary positions.

Relatively speaking, this exam question is biased towards those leading cadres who are a little older.

Looking back two years ago, when Wen Tao, then secretary of the Bengang Municipal Party Committee, went to the counties and cities under his jurisdiction to conduct research, he formulated exactly this topic!

Today, Li Jianwei is a department-level cadre, and the director of the Institutional Affairs Center is also at the department-level.

However, although they are both at the department level, there are obvious differences between them.

After all, if he could successfully move from a county or city to the provincial party committee, it would mean significant progress!

What's more, working in the Provincial Party Committee Office, the pace of personal promotion will be faster.

Li Jianwei, now 46 years old, has a very simple background. If he can successfully complete his term as county party secretary, the most ideal arrangement would be to go to a municipal bureau and serve as the top leader.

Then, after working for another term, one can only go to the CPPCC or the National People's Congress to find a place to work as a deputy to settle down.

In comparison, it would be wiser to seek development in the Provincial Party Committee Office than to work in a prefecture-level city!

He had been in a leadership position for many years and thought that he had discarded almost everything that needed to be discarded.

However, from the moment he caught a glimpse of the selection announcement issued by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, he became like a possessed person and began to frantically cram himself with various exam questions.

During these days, he devoted almost all his time to studying and doing exercises. Except for the necessary sleep time, the rest of the time was either spent studying hard or writing furiously.

It is worth mentioning that he was one of the few college students of that era and had a very good cultural background.

This opportunity is of vital importance to him, so he is determined to give it his all!

Finally, the morning's essay test came to an end, and Li Jianwei dragged his slightly tired body back to the hotel near the test site.

These days, most of the hotel's guests are candidates taking exams, all in a hurry and with serious expressions. But after Li Jianwei's experience that morning, he felt more confident.

It turned out that he had basically conceived and written his essay in the morning in accordance with the development plan formulated by Secretary-General Wentao for Bengang City, and had also cleverly incorporated some personal insights.

It was said that the examination papers for the selection of leading cadres would be personally reviewed by the Secretary-General. Thinking of this, Li Jianwei was confident that when Secretary-General Wentao reviewed his paper, he would definitely not give it a low score.
