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

Before we knew it, the public notice period had ended.

On December 16, Ma Qiyun, Minister of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, accompanied Gao Wenchang to Xinping County to announce the appointment meeting.

Jiang Yiming was only the acting secretary and did not need to make room for the other party in advance. Therefore, he also attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Ma Qiyun put forward several requirements, and Jiang Yiming and Zhang Yuntao made statements respectively.

Jiang Yiming genuinely supported Gao Wenchang, while Zhang Yuntao's expression wasn't too pleasant when he spoke.

Finally, Gao Wenchang, Secretary of the Xinping County Party Committee, delivered a speech and made a statement.

After the meeting, Ma Qiyun and his delegation stayed for dinner.

Jiang Yiming naturally had to accompany them.

After the dinner, Jiang Yiming saw Ma Qiyun off to his car.

"Yiming, as required by the municipal party committee and government, I will accompany you to Xichuan County next Monday."

Ma Qiyun laughed and said, "We'll go together then."

"Okay, old boss, I'll wait for your call."

After seeing Ma Qiyun off, Jiang Yiming called Guo Shenglin, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, to recommend Chen Xujian to him.

He had mentioned Chen Xujian to Guo Shenglin before and even introduced him to him. Guo Shenglin had also stated that, based on Chen Xujian's performance, he would transfer him over at an appropriate time.

Jiang Yiming is about to leave Xinping County. During his tenure as deputy secretary and acting secretary, Chen Xujian demonstrated outstanding work ability and provided him with significant support.

He would naturally try to fight for him.

"Yiming, your call came at the right time. The head of the Second Discipline Inspection Division was just promoted, and the position is still vacant. I'll arrange for someone to go through the procedures and transfer Xiao Chen over immediately."

"Thank you, Uncle Guo. Once I've settled down in Xichuan County, I'll go to the provincial capital to report to you."

Jiang Yiming said happily.

"Okay, I haven't had a chance to drink your wedding wine yet. Let's get together when your teacher comes back."

We chatted briefly for a few minutes before hanging up.

Jiang Yiming then called Chen Xujian over.

"Secretary Yiming, I heard you're going to take up your post in Xichuan County next Monday. I'm really going to miss you. I'm hosting a get-together tonight, let's have a good drink."

Chen Xujian said sincerely.

"Let's talk about drinking later, let's get down to business first."

Jiang Yiming laughed and said, "I just finished a phone call with Secretary Guo of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. He said he would transfer you to the Second Discipline Inspection Division of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as the person in charge."

"Really?"

Chen Xujian was so excited he almost jumped up.

The surprise came so suddenly that he felt it was somewhat unreal.

It's important to understand that for a county discipline inspection commission secretary to be transferred to the second division as its head is definitely a promotion.

Leaving aside the promotion from deputy director level to director level, in terms of future development, the county discipline inspection commission secretary is far behind the second division head in terms of development speed.

After working in the Second Division for two or three years, one can easily become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in any prefecture-level city.

However, the difficulty and competition for a position from county-level discipline inspection secretary to municipal-level discipline inspection secretary is exceptionally high.

"Secretary Yiming, I won't say anything more. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Everything will be said in the drinks."

Chen Xujian said earnestly.

There's no need for us to do this.

Jiang Yiming laughed and said, "I'll have Chen Wei invite everyone together for a get-together. We won't have any more individual gatherings after that."

"Okay, I'll ask you out alone sometime."

In the evening, Executive Deputy County Head Chen Zixin, County Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chen Xujian, County Party Committee Standing Committee Member and Industrial Park Party Working Committee Secretary Zhu Xinglei, County Party Committee Standing Committee Member and Public Security Bureau Director Du Zhengqiang, County Party Committee Standing Committee Member and County Party Committee Office Director Chen Wei, Deputy County Head Luo Yan, County Education Bureau Director Qiao Xiaomai, County Public Security Bureau Party Committee Member and Political Department Director Wan Wenbing, Yusha Town Party Committee Secretary Su Yun, Donggou Township Party Committee Secretary Wang Jiajia, Kaiyuan Subdistrict Office Party Working Committee Secretary Liu Sicheng, County People's Hospital President Li Hengchen, and Gynecology Nurse Li Mei, among others, attended Jiang Yiming's farewell dinner.

Besides congratulating Jiang Yiming on his promotion, everyone felt a deep sense of reluctance to see him go.

Su Yun, the Party Secretary of Yusha Town, rarely drinks alcohol, but he was quite drunk that day.

Many others were also quite drunk and their vision was blurred.

They were eventually escorted home safely by their respective drivers.

Jiang Yiming then arranged for Li Mei to take Su Yun home in his place.

The following day, Jiang Yiming greeted Gao Wenchang and then drove around Xinping County before heading to Xichuan County with Ding Li.

He plans to first visit Xichuan County as an ordinary citizen to experience it firsthand.

If the people are satisfied with their food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care, and education, the county government and its leaders will definitely be recognized by the people.

Jiang Yiming strongly agrees with this.

Therefore, instead of taking his own car, he and Ding Li took a bus from the city to Xichuan County.

Let's take a look at the travel issues that are closely related to ordinary people.

Xichuan County, under the jurisdiction of Nghe Duong City, Dong Giang Province, is located in the southeastern corner of Dong Giang Province. The county covers a total area of ​​2660 square kilometers and administers 3 subdistricts, 9 towns, and 6 townships. According to the fifth national census, Xichuan County has a resident population of 41.65.

The county's total GDP reached 8.33 million yuan, less than one-sixth of Xinping County's, ranking last in the city.

Xichuan County is three and a half hours away from the urban area of ​​Yiyang City, making it the county furthest from the urban area of ​​Yiyang City among all the counties and districts.

Xichuan County is actually closer to Linjiang City, only three hours away.

Many residents of Xichuan County, when they want to buy things in the city, go to Linjiang City instead of Yiyang City.

Jiang Yiming and Ding Li boarded a bus bound for Xichuan County from Yiyang City.

The car was already full of people when it set off.

On the way to Xichuan County, the driver kept stopping and picking up people waiting for the bus along the way.

For some reason, there were an unusually large number of people on the way today. The long-distance bus, which is supposed to have 33 seats, was crammed with 51 people.

The aisle was packed with people.

Jiang Yiming sat in the front row, next to the female ticket seller.

The female ticket seller was a plump woman with slightly dark skin.

She pointed at Jiang Yiming with her thick fingers and said, "You two squeeze in a bit, and let another person sit down."

"Ma'am, the bus is already severely overloaded, it's very unsafe. And we're two men, how are we supposed to squeeze in?"

Jiang Yiming spoke up.

"Stop talking nonsense, sit if you want, or get out if you don't!"

The female ticket seller rolled her eyes.

Jiang Yiming sat there without moving, and ignored the female ticket seller.

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me tell you to squeeze in?"

The female ticket seller yelled.

“I bought a ticket for a private seat. You have no right to make me squeeze in. Besides, the bus is already severely overloaded and can’t take any more people.”

Jiang Yiming said.

"Even the people at the Transportation Bureau can't control me, so why are you worrying about it?"

The fat woman said with a stern face, "If you don't squeeze in, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Let's see what you can do to me?"

Jiang Yiming said calmly.

"Old Wang, someone's causing trouble!"

The car came to an abrupt stop as soon as the fat woman finished speaking.

"Who the hell dares to cause trouble in my car?"

The man, his face dark, holding a wrench, turned his head to look behind him with a fierce expression.

"That's the kid! He won't give up his seat!"

The fat woman pointed at Jiang Yiming.

"Damn it, you little brat dare to cause trouble? I won't even let you sit down!"

The man brandished a wrench and said menacingly, "Three numbers, then either get down here or squat on the ground!"
