Life Reset: I’m the Master in the Officialdom

However, for Wentao, this inspection was just a formality.

Normally, once one reaches this level of position, the examination process is extremely rigorous and its scope is staggering, tracing back the entire life journey from birth to the present, including all interpersonal relationships, relatives, friends and other aspects without omission.

But Wentao's relatives and friends are all as pure as flawless jade, and can even be said to be bright and dazzling!

If we really want to conduct an in-depth investigation, we might as well try to conduct a comprehensive review of the Zhou and Jian families to see if these two families have any principled faults?

After going through a series of rigorous and tedious inspection processes, in September 2007, Wentao officially took up the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Railways.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Wentao himself prefers to work in a company, but for some reason, Chief Li unexpectedly arranged him in the railway department.

At first, Wentao was quite confused and puzzled by this, but not long after, he suddenly understood!

There must be some far-reaching intentions and considerations behind Chief Li's personnel arrangements.

In the previous life, the once glorious Ministry of Railways ushered in a major change in 2013 - separation.

From then on, the railway department was officially renamed China Railway Transportation Corporation, and the original huge Ministry of Railways was incorporated into the Ministry of Transport as a whole.

This historic adjustment finally broke the deadlock of "difficulty in separating government and business" that has plagued China for a long time.

However, this time he was unexpectedly assigned to work in the Ministry of Railways.

Although Chief Li did not clearly explain the specific reasons for such an arrangement, Wentao knew that there must be deeper considerations behind it with his keen insight and in-depth understanding of the situation.

After all, China's national conditions determine that it is necessary to vigorously develop the high-speed rail industry to meet the growing transportation needs and the needs of national modernization.

In the previous life, in 2003, China’s first high-speed rail line, the "Qinyang High-speed Railway", was officially opened for operation. This should have been an exciting start.

Surprisingly, the second high-speed rail line was not officially put into use until 2008. Such a long time interval undoubtedly hides many problems.

Either they have encountered bottlenecks that are difficult to break through in key technologies, or they have encountered numerous obstacles in other related fields.

The purpose of Chief Li's transfer to the Ministry of Railways this time is self-evident, and it is nothing more than the following two points.

First, there is no doubt that they hope to use their own strength to promote the further vigorous development of China's high-speed rail industry;

Secondly, it is very likely that he hopes to play an active role within the Ministry of Railways and help promote the smooth completion of the arduous task of separating "government and enterprise".

This is Chief Li’s plan!

Wen Tao also believed at this moment that his rebirth might even produce a butterfly effect, leading to the early separation of government and business in China's railway sector!

On the day of his inauguration, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing gently, and the whole city was filled with a solemn and expectant atmosphere.

For Wentao, this day is destined to be extraordinary.

His treatment was extraordinary, and Chen Qingquan, the executive vice minister of the Organization Department, actually came to accompany him.

You know, under normal circumstances, for a deputy ministerial-level leading cadre like Wen Tao, the Organization Department usually only needs to send a director of the Cadre Bureau to accompany him, which is already considered a great respect and attention.

However, the presence of Chen Qingquan, Executive Vice Minister of the Organization Department, was obviously not just because of his deep personal relationship with the Zhou family.

This extraordinary arrangement undoubtedly conveys to the outside world the deeper intentions and considerations of the "South China Sea" leaders.

Not only that, the National Development and Reform Commission also sent a deputy director in charge of railway business to go with him.

As we all know, in addition to the Ministry of Railways, the National Development and Reform Commission also has a Railway Department, whose responsibility is to strictly approve the construction of the railway department and related businesses.

The motorcade that took office was not very luxurious. There was a guard car leading the way in the front, followed closely by a Coaster minibus.

The distance between the Organization Department and the Ministry of Railways is actually not far. It takes only about 20 minutes to drive from the bustling Chang'an Avenue to Fuxing Road, a distance of only a dozen kilometers.

In later generations, this was also the address of the China Railway Transportation Corporation.

Many leading cadres of the Ministry of Railways had received a notice from the Organization Department several days ago. Early in the morning, they all arrived at the bottom of the office building and waited.

Railway Minister Sun Youcheng stood erect, his snow-white hair striking in the morning sunlight. He was unsmiling, his expression solemn and dignified, like an unshakable mountain.

The executive vice minister Li Xuan, who stood side by side with him, formed a sharp contrast. Li Xuan had a big round belly, as if she was several months pregnant. Her chubby face was always filled with a cheerful smile, making people feel friendly and easy-going.

Looking at the other team leaders of the Ministry of Railways, they are now following closely behind these two core figures.

They were of different heights, weights and bodies, but everyone's expression was quite complicated, especially when they looked at the incoming deputy minister. Their eyes more or less revealed a subtle indifference and alienation, as if they were not particularly welcome to the new leader.

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the low roar of a car engine was finally heard in the distance.

In a blink of an eye, a convoy of black cars slowly drove into people's sight and finally stopped steadily in front of the office building.

The car door opened, and the first person to get out was Chen Qingquan, the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department, who came to announce the appointment decision.

Chen Qingquan walked steadily towards the leaders of the Ministry of Railways who came to greet him with a smile.

When he walked up to Sun Youcheng and Li Xuan, he first extended his right hand politely and shook hands with each of them gently as a greeting.

Although Chen Qingquan is only a deputy minister of the Organization Department, in fact, due to the special status of the Organization Department and the importance of its work, the actual power he possesses is far beyond that of an ordinary deputy minister.

What's more, the Minister of the Organization Department is one of the key figures in the entire leadership team. In many cases, Chen Qingquan, as the deputy minister, can be regarded as the actual "top leader" of the Organization Department.
