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

Did he say what it was about?

Jiang Yiming inquired.

The Cadre Section has a total of four people: Chen Wei, the head of the Cadre Section and director of the Information Center; Wang Zhixiang, the deputy head of the Cadre Section; and Su Yun, a staff member seconded from the department.

The cadre section is normally staffed with four people, including two administrative staff and two seconded personnel. Recently, Chen Wei has shown signs of changing positions, so Jiang Yiming was assigned here, while the seconded personnel returned to their original unit.

During large-scale events or major personnel reshuffles across the county, the cadre department will promptly add or transfer personnel, and no unit dares to obstruct it.

Jiang Yiming dealt with Wang Zhixiang as best he could.

This bastard not only loves to put on airs, but also makes things difficult for him from time to time.

He's just new here and hasn't settled in yet, otherwise he would have already given them a piece of his mind.

"He's just making trouble out of nothing, ignore him."

As the two were talking, Chen Wei and Wang Zhixiang walked in.

"Recently, there will be personnel changes throughout the county. The leadership has set the tone, and we need to come up with a plan in accordance with their intentions and instructions. Minister Zhao needs to see the plan and materials tomorrow, so everyone please work overtime."

"Xiao Su, you're in charge of drafting the initial plan. Yi Ming, you're in charge of helping Zhi Xiang compile information on the personnel involved."

"Yes, Section Chief."

Everyone responded in unison and then got to their respective tasks.

"Xiao Jiang, you get ready first, I'm going out to take care of something and I'll be right back."

Wang Zhixiang threw the documents on the table and walked out.

"Is Section Chief Wang trying to shirk his duties again?"

Su Yun comforted her, "There's a lot of this information. I'll come over and help you organize it after I finish what I'm doing."

"Thank you, Sister Yun. I'll try my best to handle it myself."

Jiang Yiming carried the documents to the computer, opened Word, created a table, and then entered the information of 30 people into it, categorizing them by type.

Although there was a lot of information, we successfully completed the task after an hour and a half of hard work.

After carefully checking and correcting a few minor errors, Jiang Yiming printed a copy and then went to the restroom.

When Wang Zhixiang returned, he did not see Jiang Yiming. He glanced at the blank document and was immediately enraged.

"Where is Jiang Yiming? Where did he go?"

Su Yun was engrossed in writing the proposal and didn't notice Jiang Yiming's whereabouts, but she still dodged the question by saying, "He might be out for a little while, but he'll be back soon."

"Is he an idiot? He's been writing for over an hour and hasn't written a single word!"

Wang Zhixiang slammed his fist on the table and said, "If the leader doesn't see the documents tomorrow, can he take responsibility?"

"what happened?"

Hearing the commotion, Chen Wei came over.

"Section Chief, you've come at the right time! That kid Jiang Yiming is being lazy and cunning!"

Wang Zhixiang said, "I had to go out for a while, so I asked him to organize the data first. But he was afraid of doing too much work, so he didn't write a single word!"

"Not only that, but the people have all disappeared!"

"Section Chief, if the mission is not completed, Jiang Yiming must take full responsibility!"

"I'll talk to him when he gets back!"

Chen Wei frowned, feeling somewhat displeased.

At this moment, Jiang Yiming returned.

"Jiang Yiming, how dare you come back!"

"Why am I too ashamed to come back after going to the bathroom?"

Jiang Yiming said unhappily, "But you, you've been gone for over an hour. Don't tell me you went to the toilet too. There's no alcohol in the toilet!"

He could smell the alcohol on Wang Zhixiang.

"I went to a business dinner with my boss."

Wang Zhixiang argued vehemently, "No matter what, I assigned you tasks, but you did nothing. Do you have any discipline? Do you even respect me as your leader?"

"Section Chief, I suggest we report to Minister Zhao and have him removed from the Organization Department. He is simply not capable of doing the job here."

"Who said I didn't do anything? I've already organized the data."

Jiang Yiming was too lazy to argue.

"Bullshit! There's no way we could finish processing all this data in an hour and a half!"

Not everyone slacks off like you.

Jiang Yiming stopped holding back and retorted directly.

"Who's dawdling? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Wang Zhixiang clenched his fists, as if he wanted to hit someone.

"Stop arguing, get to work."

Chen Wei frowned and interrupted their argument. Su Yun also came over and offered a few words of advice.

"This matter cannot be left unresolved!"

Wang Zhixiang persisted: "This kid not only doesn't respect me as his leader, but he also tries to cheat and shirk his responsibilities, affecting the entire work progress. He must be held accountable for this!"

“Section Chief Chen, if you don’t go to see Minister Zhao, I will. I must report his slacking off to the leadership.”

"Yiming said he has already compiled the information..."

"Heh, don't listen to his nonsense."

Wang Zhixiang interrupted Su Yun, saying, "If he has really finished organizing the information, I will apologize to him immediately."

"If he is lying, he must get out of our department."

Before Wang Zhixiang could finish speaking, Jiang Yiming handed over the printed materials.

Chen Wei took the paper with a puzzled look. When he saw the detailed information in the table, including the number, name, date of birth, work experience, and awards and punishments, he could hardly believe it.

The table is neatly formatted, with appropriate detail and emphasis, and key words are highlighted in bold, allowing the reviewer to see the important points in the shortest amount of time.

"Did you organize this?"

Chen Wei looked excited.

Jiang Yiming nodded.

Sensing the change in Chen Wei's expression, Wang Zhixiang and Su Yun both craned their necks to look, and were immediately astonished.

Jiang Yiming actually printed out the documents!

Not only that, the layout is also so exquisite!

Jiang Yiming wasn't surprised at all by the look of surprise on their faces.

It's important to know that in 2000, computer penetration was extremely low, unlike later when almost everyone had an office computer.

At that time, the higher authorities required the popularization of digitalization and equipped each department with a computer, but very few people knew how to use it, and even those who did had very low proficiency, which actually reduced work efficiency.

Therefore, the computers in the department are basically gathering dust.

Jiang Yiming, however, was overjoyed. After reporting to the section chief, he was granted the right to use it.

Although the computer configuration is very low and many functions are incomplete, it is still much more efficient than handwriting data and repeatedly transcribing it.

Since the information submitted to the minister for review cannot be wrong, the final draft often needs to be transcribed several times.

"Yiming, you can actually use a computer?"

Su Yun asked in surprise.

"Isn't it enough to just have hands?"

Jiang Yiming thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud.

"I was exposed to it in college and took computer classes."

Jiang Yiming smiled shyly.

"Students from prestigious universities are just different."

Chen Wei praised them, then frowned: "Didn't I tell you to organize information on 20 people? How did it become 30?"

"Oh, I wasn't paying attention, I accidentally brought a few extra copies of the documents."

Wang Zhixiang avoided eye contact and hurriedly explained.
