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

"Go to hell, I don't have such a strong taste."

Jiang Yiming cursed, and he and Chen Zixin helped each other to sit down by the river.

It was late at night, the stars were shining brightly, and the moonlight was so clear that it cast shadows.

"I remember you didn't like life within the system, so why did you choose this path?"

Although Chen Zixin was somewhat drunk, he was still quite sober.

"I won't go into the specific reasons, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Yiming couldn't reveal his true intentions, so he changed the subject: "I heard you're on the list for the new round of cadre reshuffles, and they want you to go to a township?"

"Yes, the organization asked me to choose a place, and I thought of you in Donggou Township, so I chose Donggou Township."

"It's not decided yet. Could you change it and apply to go to Yusha Town?"

Jiang Yiming persuaded, "I'm going to Yusha Town for a while. If you come over, we can work together."

"Are you going to Yusha Town?"

Chen Zixin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll apply to go to Yusha Town tomorrow."

Is it difficult?

"The head of a township is not a mayor, so what's so difficult about it?"

Chen Zixin said dismissively.

"Do you even know how many officials have fought tooth and nail to become town mayor?"

Jiang Yiming rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you think it over more? If I go, I'll be doing something that offends people."

"It doesn't matter. If things don't work out, we can just find a better place to do it."

Chen Zixin had no concept of Tao.

"...Damn, I have an urge to punch you."

Jiang Yiming deeply understood what it meant to have someone in high places to make it easier to be an official!

“Our county’s enterprise reform is progressing very slowly. I volunteered to take on this task, and Secretary Ma has agreed.”

"You want to reform the enterprise?"

Chen Zixin quickly stopped him, saying, "I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Enterprise reform involves all sorts of people and things, and it's a thankless task. You might end up dragging yourself down with you."

"I know, but it's easy to achieve political success if things are done well."

Jiang Yiming laughed and said, "I'm confident I can do a good job, so I thought I'd ask you to come and help. I guess you'll get scolded along with me."

"No problem, I will fully support you after I arrive in Yusha Town."

Chen Zixin stated directly, laughing, "So what if I get scolded? If I succeed, I can get a share of the profits and bring honor to my family, so they won't think I'm useless."

"Alright, if you can see the dangers and rewards inside, I won't say any more."

Jiang Yiming invited Chen Zixin out to dinner today in order to persuade him to work in Yusha Town.

When the enterprise reform of Yusha Town is successful, Chen Zixin, as the town mayor, will have the most political achievements.

Although Chen Zixin has connections and is currently getting promoted easily, if he wants to reach a higher position, relying solely on family resources is not enough; he must also demonstrate his own abilities.

The following day, after Jiang Yiming transported Ma Qi to the county committee compound, he returned to his office to start packing his things.

"Good morning, Xiao Jiang."

Wang Zhixiang was in a good mood today and took the initiative to greet him: "I treated you to dinner yesterday, why didn't you come?"

Jiang Yiming thought for a moment. It seemed that Wang Zhixiang hadn't called him, but even if he had, he wouldn't have gone.

"Oh, I had something to do yesterday, so I went back first."

Jiang Yiming gave a perfunctory reply.

"That's such a pity. Not only did the section chief attend yesterday, but also Minister Liu from our department was there."

While showing off, Wang Zhixiang didn't forget to educate him: "If you were there, you could have improved your relationship with the leaders. Xiao Jiang, you must actively participate in such gatherings in the future. Only by getting into the leaders' sights can you advance faster."

"What good news? Section Chief Wang is making such a big fuss about inviting us to dinner?"

Jiang Yiming packed his things while chatting idly.

"Hehe, I can tell you're out of touch with the times. You don't even know the county party committee office is going to make a move."

Wang Zhixiang smiled smugly and said, "Secretary Ma's secretary, Zhang Hai, is going to take up a post in a township below, so the position of secretary will be vacant."

"And the ministry recommended me. Given Minister Zhao's relationship with Secretary Ma, Secretary Ma certainly wouldn't refuse someone he recommended."

"Soon I will become one of Secretary Ma's people."

"Oh, really? The version I heard is different from yours?"

Jiang Yiming said with a half-smile.

"You've heard nothing! That's just hearsay, this is official information."

Wang Zhixiang said, "I'm about to become the secretary's secretary, and my perspective will be much broader. I won't bother with a nobody like you. Apologize to me, and I won't make things difficult for you anymore."

"Apologize? You're really joking. You're wrong, so why should I apologize? You're dreaming!"

Jiang Yiming retorted without hesitation.

"You, you... fine, Jiang Yiming, I'll remember you. We'll meet again someday!"

Wang Zhixiang pointed at Jiang Yiming, then walked away with a dark expression.

"Yiming, did Section Chief Wang get humiliated by you again?"

Su Yun walked in and asked with a smile, "Tell me something so I can have some fun too."

"He said he would soon become Secretary Ma's secretary, and he asked me to apologize for what I had done before, and then he would stop bothering me."

Jiang Yiming laughed and said, "I said he's dreaming."

"Haha, you're really good at roasting people!"

Su Yun covered her mouth, laughing so hard she was shaking.

"However, you should still be careful. If he really becomes the secretary, you will have some trouble."

"Don't worry, his wish won't come true."

Jiang Yiming pointed to the things he was organizing and said, "That spot is already taken."

"Don't tell me you were chosen by the boss?"

Before Jiang Yiming could respond, Wang Zhixiang's voice rang out from outside.

"Secretary-General Zhang, you are a rare guest. What brings you to our department?"

Wang Zhixiang deliberately amplified his voice, and it could be heard in multiple offices throughout the building.

He guessed that Zhang Hai was sent by the Party Secretary to notify him of the conversation.

Sure enough, many people came out after hearing the noise.

Everyone had heard that Wang Zhixiang was about to become the secretary's secretary.

Once the news is confirmed, you can offer your congratulations immediately.

Even Minister Liu came out: "Secretary Zhang, shall we come and take the person?"

"Minister Liu, you are truly a brilliant strategist."

Zhang Hai smiled and said, "I came early to hand over the work so as not to delay the secretary's work."

"Yes, the secretary's affairs are all important and cannot be neglected."

Minister Liu smiled and said, "Zhixiang, you should learn from Secretary Zhang and show the Party Secretary the spirit of our Organization Department."

"Rest assured, Ministry, I will certainly live up to your mission and not bring shame to your ministry!"

Wang Zhixiang nodded repeatedly.

"Congratulations on your promotion, Section Chief Wang. Don't forget to come back and visit us younger brothers."

"Brother Wang, I knew you were destined for greatness. You've truly been appreciated by the top leader. Come back to the department often from now on."

"congratulations."

Everyone offered their congratulations.

"Thank you, thank you! To be honest, I've been in the Organization Department for five years and have developed a deep affection for it. I really don't want to leave!"

Wang Zhixiang's face was filled with an indescribable smile, and then he delivered a speech full of emotion!
