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

"Secondly, there are personnel issues. If employees have secure jobs and receive the same pay regardless of how much they work or how well they perform, it will be difficult for the company to develop."

Jiang Yiming recalls that 1998 to 2000 was a critical period for the national "Three-Year Action Plan to Get Out of Difficulty" for enterprises. Although it was nearing its end, Jianghuai City, where Xinping County is located, was a relatively backward county in the middle, and its reform efforts were always a step behind.

Ma Qiyun sat up straighter and smiled, "I didn't expect you to have such profound insights. I've actually considered what you said, but the core issue right now is how to resettle the personnel."

"We can't just fire them all, can we? Even if they were willing, the government can't afford such a large sum of compensation."

"Therefore, although everyone knows that streamlining personnel and revitalizing the enterprise is the only way out, without the ability to accommodate so many employees, enterprise reform will be difficult to promote and will only lead to a dead end."

"We can implement a shareholding system, allowing employees to buy shares, and at the same time split up the company to revitalize it!"

Jiang Yiming explained, "Take Yusha Winery for example. Their wines are of very high quality. As long as they separate out the related supporting businesses such as wine boxes, bottles, caps and packaging, and disperse the excess personnel, they can focus on developing the wine industry. Once the wine industry develops, the related supporting companies will naturally follow suit."

Ma Qiyun did not respond, but was processing Jiang Yiming's words. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled and said, "The plan you mentioned has a certain degree of feasibility."

"Yiming, I'm short-handed here. How about you come and work with me?"

At this point, he no longer cared whether Jiang Yiming's composure was up to par; at worst, he would just give him a good talking-to later.

“Of course I am very willing to follow the secretary.”

Jiang Yiming expressed his opinion without hesitation.

He took the initiative not only because of his own lust for power, but also because he hoped to rise quickly in rank.

After all, no matter how well the Organization Department develops, it can't compare to the Government Office and the County Party Committee Office. These two departments are right next to the leaders, and as long as they are appreciated by the leaders, they can rise the fastest.

"Good! Starting tomorrow, you will join the enterprise reform team as the deputy director of the office. At the same time, you will be stationed at Yusha Winery to personally oversee their reforms. If you have enough energy, you can also include other enterprises in the reform scope."

Ma Qiyun held up five fingers and said, "I'm giving you this much time. You must make Yusha Winery a model for enterprise reform. Of course, I know the time is a bit tight, but time waits for no one."

“Enterprise reform is a top priority project. If our county lags behind other places, my career will be greatly affected.”

Jiang Yiming glanced at the rearview mirror, thought for a moment, and said, "Fifty days is a bit short, but as long as the secretary gives his strong support, I guarantee I will complete the task."

Ma Qiyun paused for a moment, then said, "Fifty days?"

"Well, if you think it takes too long, I will try my best to shorten the cycle, but I can't set a specific completion time yet."

"Enterprise reform is no small matter. You don't need to rush. While pursuing speed, you must proceed steadily and surely."

Ma Qiyun originally planned to give Jiang Yiming five months, but he did not correct this at this time.

Pressure is a motivator!

"The day the Yusha Winery's enterprise reform is successful, I will directly appoint you to a substantive deputy section chief position!"

"Of course, if you're just bragging, I'll cancel your deputy section chief status and, like everyone else, wait two years before you're evaluated for promotion."

The stick and the carrot!

Ma Qiyun truly lives up to his reputation as the city's youngest division-level cadre; his ability to manage people is remarkable.

"Don't worry, Secretary, I will do my best and won't let you down!"

Jiang Yiming assured him.

After transporting March to the designated location, Jiang Yiming drove away.

He will come to pick up Ma Qiyun again tomorrow morning.

After a thorough exchange, Ma Qiyun and Luo Yan began chatting casually.

When Luo Yan learned that Ma Qiyun planned to transfer Jiang Yiming to his side and promote him to deputy section chief, she asked nervously, "Jiang Yiming knows our secret. Isn't it too dangerous for you to keep him by your side like this?"

"If you promote him, once he matures, it will be difficult for us to control him!"

"You're absolutely right. Once a person has something they care about, they'll be much more careful in what they do!"

“After Jiang Yiming was promoted to deputy section chief, he won’t talk nonsense anymore. Otherwise, one word from me could bring him back to his original state. Once he gets involved with power, do you think he would be willing to let go?”

"Besides, I've observed Jiang Yiming, and he's a talented person. If I nurture him properly, he will become a sharp sword in my hands and an aid to my career advancement."

Ma Qiyun said confidently, "As for your concern that he will be difficult to control as he grows, no matter how fast he rises, can he surpass me?"

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Ma Qiyun patted Luo Yanxue's white back and laughed, "Don't worry, I'll have something on him to make him dare not do anything reckless."

"That's good."

Luo Yan felt relieved, got out of bed, and went to the kitchen naked to cook for Ma Qiyun.

Ma Qiyun lay on the bed, admiring this alluring scene.

Jiang Yiming called his old classmate Chen Zixin and invited him to dinner at Juyuan Restaurant.

Chen Zixin and he were roommates in high school, and the two had a very good relationship.

Chen Zixin didn't get into university; he took the civil service exam instead.

It is said that his family has some connections, but he doesn't know the specifics.

But he knew that Chen Zixin had been working for four years and was about to be promoted to the rank of section chief.

In his previous life, Chen Zixin was promoted to the head of Donggou Township in this year, which meant he took office in his hometown.

At that time, his father and fifth brother wanted to do some small engineering projects, and he asked Chen Zixin for help.

Chen Zixin was also very helpful, not only providing the project but also proactively assisting with anything that came up later.

As a result, Jiang Yiming in his previous life owed Chen Zixin a lot of favors.

He really wanted to repay the favor, but he hadn't been able to.

He had always hoped that Chen Zixin or a close relative of his would fall ill, so that he could use his skills to help him!

Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

In this life, while improving himself, he also wanted to help these good friends who owed him favors and accelerate their growth.

Chen Zixin was still on his way, while Jiang Yiming booked a private room, ordered a few dishes, and then waited at the door for them.

I just didn't expect to run into someone I knew.

Jiang Yunhai and Jiang Tao accompanied several portly middle-aged men as they walked toward the restaurant.

Jiang Yiming intended to ignore him, but Jiang Tao spoke up, "Hey, isn't this Jiang Yiming? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Yiming ignored him and remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?"

Jiang Tao sneered.

"What am I guilty of?"

Jiang Yiming countered with a question.

“My dad was originally supposed to be transferred to the Finance Bureau or the Land and Resources Bureau, but in the end it didn’t happen.”

"and then?"

"If you hadn't interfered, how could my father have failed to be transferred?"

Jiang Tao said coldly, "You're such a despicable person. You'd better watch out. If you fall into my hands, I won't let you off the hook!"
