The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

"Could it be a misunderstanding?"

Chen Wei thought for a moment and said, "When Yiming recommended Liu Sicheng, he said that Liu Sicheng was too straightforward and offended the leaders, so he was not promoted. But he is still quite capable and is an undergraduate. If we don't use him, we will be wasting his talent."

"Furthermore, if Yiming is to profit from this, he should recommend Zhao Juan, the director of the family planning office in Donggou Township."

“Zhao Juan comes from a wealthy family, and more importantly, she is from Yi Ming’s hometown. If I’m not mistaken, Zhao Juan must have contacted Yi Ming.”

"But he still recommended Liu Sicheng, and I think he probably did so out of public interest."

"If that's the case, wouldn't I be ruining Yiming's future?"

Zhao Zhenlin frowned and said, "I'll find some time another day to explain this to Secretary Ma in person."

As soon as Jiang Yiming arrived on the fourth floor, his secretary Zhang Hai came to greet him.

"The Party Secretary told me to go straight in and find him."

Zhang Hai said enthusiastically.

"Thanks, Brother Zhang. I'll invite you for drinks another day."

Jiang Yiming chatted briefly for a couple of minutes before going inside.

The office door was open, and Ma Qiyun was sitting in his executive chair, looking down at the documents.

Jiang Yiming knocked on the door: "Secretary, you wanted to see me?"

"Xiao Jiang is here. Come in and close the door behind you."

Ma Qiyun looked up and put the document aside.

Jiang Yiming closed the door and asked with a smile, "What instructions does the Secretary have?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to chat for a bit. Sit down and we'll talk."

Ma Qiyun stood up from his boss's chair and sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Yiming.

"The medicine you prescribed for me at the hospital last time worked very well for me. My sleep quality improved and I felt more energetic. It was even more effective than the medicine prescribed by those so-called experts."

Ma Qiyun laughed and said, "You're so young, yet your medical skills are so amazing."

“I previously studied under Mr. Wei Xianmin and learned a little bit of the basics.”

Jiang Yiming said modestly.

"So you're a disciple of the renowned physician Wei Xianmin. No wonder your medical skills are so amazing."

Ma Qiyun nodded and smiled, "The Organization Department recently formulated a talent training program. In recent years, quite a few people have applied to our county, most of whom are junior college students. Very few are college students from prestigious universities. Even those who do come here don't stay long before they leave."

"Therefore, the Organization Department has formulated a talent training program, allocating three deputy section-level positions each year to promote the three most outstanding newly recruited civil servants in each batch."

“Originally, this plan was to start from the next cohort, but I proposed to start from this cohort. I have secured a spot for you. After the three-month probationary period, you will be directly promoted to deputy section chief level.”

"When Chen Wei is promoted to a ministry, you will work with Wang Zhixiang to be in charge of the cadre section."

The surprise came so suddenly that Jiang Yiming didn't react for a moment.

After all, many civil servants, after a lifetime of hard work, only reach the deputy section chief level, like Jiang Yunhai.

He was promoted to deputy section chief after only three months on the job!

Although this situation is relatively rare, such policies exist in some places, similar to graduate students being directly appointed as deputy section chiefs.

Furthermore, at that time, the system of publicizing cadre information had not yet been established, and the internet was not well-developed, so even if someone had opinions, they could only keep them to themselves.

"Thank you, Secretary Ma!"

Jiang Yiming thanked him repeatedly.

"Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you."

Ma Qiyun stood up and said, "You drive, come with me."

"it is good."

Jiang Yiming instantly realized that Ma Qiyun wanted to study the structure of the character "昆" with Luo Yan again.

After Ma Qiyun was seated, Jiang Yiming started the car. Just as they drove out of the county committee compound, a group of people suddenly rushed out, startling Ma Qiyun and Jiang Yiming.

Someone in the crowd was holding a banner that read, "I want a salary, I want to support my family."

However, these people were unaware that the county party secretary was sitting in the car, and they continued to squeeze into the county party committee compound.

"Drive it out first."

Seeing that no one knew he was in the car, Ma Qiyun immediately gave instructions.

If the crowd knew he was sitting in the car, who knows what would happen.

"it is good."

Jiang Yiming drove slowly forward, and just as he was about to break through the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, "Protect the secretary!"

A man, accompanied by six security personnel, squeezed his way toward the car.

Hearing the shouts, the petitioners looked into the car and exclaimed in surprise, "The Party Secretary is in the car!"

With the man's exclamation, everyone's attention turned to the car.

The crowd swarmed around the car.

"Secretary, you must stand up for us!"

"Secretary, if we don't get our wages soon, we won't be able to survive."

"If an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!"

"I want my wages, I want to survive!"

The group of people pounded on the car in a fit of emotion.

"Secretary, we can't leave."

Looking at the dense crowd, Jiang Yiming couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

There were more and more people outside, a full thousand.

"What a fool!"

Ma Qiyun naturally heard the security captain's shout.

Unable to escape, he immediately called Huang Yonglin, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and director of the County Party Committee Office, and asked him to notify the top two leaders of each township to come and pick up the person.

Ma Qiyun looked at the angry crowd outside and did not get out of the car immediately.

As the police arrived in time, the crowd gradually moved back, giving Ma Qiyun room to get out of the car.

"Secretary, I'll have someone escort you back to the compound. Leave this to me."

Huang Yonglin said.

Do you think I can leave?

Ma Qiyun waved his hand and said, "Bring a stool over."

Huang Yonglin quickly made arrangements, and soon stools were brought over.

With the help of Huang Yonglin and others, Ma Qiyun stood on the stool.

Looking at the large, dark crowd, he knew that if things weren't handled properly, trouble could easily ensue.

"Hello everyone, I am Ma Qiyun, the Party Secretary of Xinping County."

Ma Qiyun took the megaphone prepared by Huang Yonglin and shouted into the crowd.

“Secretary Ma, we haven’t been paid for three months. If we don’t get paid soon, we won’t be able to survive.”

"Yes, Secretary Ma, you must stand up for us."

"Secretary Ma, please think of a solution quickly, we really can't survive."

The crowd shouted and clamored, each offering their own opinion.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will do everything in my power to resolve this."

Ma Qiyun shouted, "Everyone here is here to solve the problem, so please be quiet."

The commotion gradually subsided, and everyone looked at Ma Qiyun with longing.

“In recent years, not only in our Xinping County, but also in many places throughout the city and even the country, enterprises have suffered losses and have been unable to pay wages normally. Everyone is trying to find a solution. Our county party committee and county government have also established an enterprise reform group, with County Head Xuan Gui and I personally serving as the group leaders, in order to find a solution to the problem of enterprises’ development difficulties as soon as possible.”

"To be honest, I haven't thought of an effective solution yet, but I will do everything I can to solve everyone's food and clothing problems first."

"After everyone has left, I will immediately convene a meeting with the relevant departments to raise funds and pay everyone's salaries."
