The next morning.
Xu Yan had just arrived at work and was about to go upstairs to her office when she bumped into Zhen Anguo.
"Chief Zhen." Xu Yan smiled and slowed down. She purposely slowed down a little. "Do you think the apartment is good? I had asked my men to prepare everything. If there is anything missing, I will send my men over. Haha, our branch's quarters are quite old. In the past, when Chief Yan was still in charge, he had submitted a few written reports to the higher-ups. But it was not approved. He had only cleaned the corridors a few times. "
Zhen Anguo smiled: "Chief Xu, thank you for your help. The apartment is good. It is much better than my previous place."
Xu Yan was still half a step behind Zhen Anguo. "As long as you are satisfied."
Zhen Anguo caught this detail, and his heart stirred slightly.
When they reached the floor of Xu Yan's office, Xu Yan did not turn. "Chief Zhen, I suddenly remembered something."
Zhen Anguo looked at her. "Let's talk in my office?"
"Ok."
By right, the secretary, Yan Lei, was supposed to clean up the office before the leader arrived. But Yan Lei was not a real secretary, and Zhen Anguo did not pass the office key to Yan Lei due to the rules. Furthermore, State Security was a secretive department, and Zhen Anguo had to be extra careful when dealing with this kind of problem. So, Yan Lei stood outside the office and waited for the leader to open the door. Yan Lei then went in to clean the desk and floor. Today was different. Yan Lei saw Xu Yan and greeted her before returning to the General Affairs Department. He knew the leader had something to discuss with him.
Zhen Anguo smiled and asked Xu Yan to sit down when he entered the office.
After casually chatting about a few topics related to work, the water dispenser's heating switch went off with a click.
Xu Yan walked over and took a disposable paper cup. She poured a cup of water and was about to place it on Zhen Anguo's desk. Zhen Anguo did not act arrogantly. He knew Xu Yan's faction had a lot of influence in the branch. Before Xu Yan put down the cup, he took it from her hand. "Haha, Chief Xu poured me a cup of water. I am flattered."
"It's only right. Before you came, the City Bureau had some complaints about the work of the Western District Branch. Haha, we are all looking forward to your leadership to improve the results of the branch. You are now our backbone." After Xu Yan poured the water for him, she picked up a paper cup and casually poured a cup for herself. He lowered his status and personally poured water for Zhen Anguo. This action was obviously a show of goodwill. He then poured himself a cup of water, which didn't make his status too low. Xu Yan's every action had its own meaning.
Zhen Anguo saw Xu Yan's actions and knew that she had the intention to side with him.
But Zhen Anguo did not welcome Dong Xuebing with open arms. He had only been in the branch for 3 days and does not know the situation there. That's why he changed his tone and smile to show a cautious attitude. "Chief Xu, I am under a lot of pressure from what you said. We need to work together to improve our results, and we cannot do without you." The time of seeking refuge, the method of seeking refuge, and the strength of seeking refuge were all things that needed to be paid attention to. Xu Yan's expression of goodwill was obviously not strong enough, so Zhen Anguo used the same strength to express a slight welcome.
Xu Yan and Zhen Anguo got a lot out of the conversation, and they got along well with each other.
This was a good start, and there was still a long way to go.
In the end, Xu Yan felt the atmosphere was good. She thought for a while and brought up Dong Xuebing to test Zhen Anguo. "Chief Zhen, have you met our General Affairs Office's Chief Xiao Dong? This young man is very capable and enthusiastic. Such a comrade should be put in an important position. Should I promote him to Deputy Section Chief? "
Dong Xuebing's information appeared in Zhen Anguo's mind, and he frowned. He did not understand what Xu Yan was trying to say. Chief Dong? That fellow from yesterday? Dong Xuebing had not even passed his Civil Servant probation. It was already difficult for him to be promoted to Deputy Chief. Why does Xu Yan want to promote him? Zhen Anguo thought for a while and did not reject. He does not want to disappoint Xu Yan. After all, Xu Yan had the intention to join the branch. "I had met Chief Dong yesterday. Hmmm … this comrade is very attentive and attentive. But … … he is too young. He is not qualified enough. "
Xu Yan laughed: "If experience is referring to work results, then I think Xiao Dong's experience is more than enough. He had only been in the branch for less than 4 months, but Xiao Dong's achievements in 4 months is more than what many people can achieve in 4 years." Xu Yan knew Zhen Anguo did not believe her and knew that he had not heard of Chief Xiao Dong's achievements. So, she told Zhen Anguo about Dong Xuebing's achievements. "There was a time when the General Affairs Office Chief's office was on fire. The fire was very big, and all the tables, chairs, and computers were burnt. But there were still a few important documents in the office that must be retrieved. Who dares to rush into the office? That is suicide. But Chief Xiao Dong rushed in … … "
Xu Yan had told Zhen Anguo about the football match. At the crucial moment, Dong Xuebing magically produced asthma medicine and heart attack medicine.
The more Zhen Anguo listened to Xu Yan, the more interested he got. He thought to himself that there was someone like Dong Xuebing in the Western District Branch. Why does it sound like I am reading a novel? Is there really such a thing? Zhen Anguo believed that Xu Yan did not need to exaggerate her story and knew what she said should be true. But after all, he had not seen it with his own eyes. He laughed and said: "Chief Xiao Dong had achieved a lot." Xu Yan continued: "That's right. The General Affairs Office's job is to solve problems for the leaders.
Xu Yan continued: "That's right. The General Affairs Office's job is to solve problems for the leaders. No one is better than Chief Xiao Dong in this aspect. Although he is young, I think he should be promoted because of his age. We must set an example for him. Those who are capable will be promoted, and those who are not … … will be demoted. This will help the branch's working atmosphere in the future. Also, Chief Xiao Dong had attended the Section Level Party School's training course. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a Deputy Section Chief." Dong Xuebing nodded.
Zhen Anguo smiled noncommittally.
Xu Yan knew Zhen Anguo would not make the decision so easily. After chatting for a while, she stood up and left. Xu Yan's promotion to Deputy Section Chief could not be done by Xu Yan alone. She must at least get one of the two leaders to decide on the direction. Xu Yan was not close to Political Commissar Cheng Haimei, and when Xiao Dong was promoted to Deputy Chief, Cheng Haimei had voted against it. It was impossible for her to appoint Xiao Dong as Deputy Section Chief. Then, only Zhen Anguo can do it. If Chief Zhen agrees, there will be no other obstacles, and Xiao Dong will be promoted smoothly. Now, it all depends on Zhen Anguo's attitude.
Xu Yan returned to her office and called Dong Xuebing over.
"Chief Xu, you are looking for me?"
"Xiao Dong, I had spoken to Chief Zhen about your promotion. Chief Zhen is still not sure about his decision. I will still say the same thing. You must perform well these few days and show some results. I had praised you to the skies in front of Chief Zhen. Don't make any problems now. Don't embarrass me."
"Yes. Don't worry. Thank you, Chief Xu." Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. He had communicated well with Chief Zhen, and there should not be any problems with him.
At the same time. Bureau Chief's office.
Yan Lei held a mop and mopped the ground outside.
Zhen Anguo was sitting in his leather chair and signing a document that Yan Lei had brought from the Sixth Bureau. He suddenly put down his pen and looked at Yan Lei. "Xiao Yan, how is the environment here compared to the Public Security? Are you used to it? "
Yan Lei put down the mop and stood at attention. "Yes. As long as I am with you, I will get used to it."
Zhen Anguo laughed. "Originally, I wanted you to train in the Ministry for a few years, and then I will help you get promoted to the County Public Security Bureau's Deputy Chief. But this change is too sudden, and even I did not expect it. So, I dragged you here. Haha, you don't hate me, right?"
Yan Lei quickly replied. "No, I don't. I just want to learn from you."
Zhen Anguo nodded. "Wait for a while. When the conditions are right, I will let you train."
Yan Lei wanted to be a Deputy Bureau Chief with real power at the grassroots level. This was much better than being a secretary. Also, the State Security was a restricted department. It was not comparable to the Public Security. However, he couldn't say it out loud. Yan Lei was still able to control himself.
"Oh." Zhen Anguo remembered what happened earlier. "Do you know Chief Xiao Dong from the General Affairs Office?"
Yan Lei was stunned. He thought Zhen Anguo had heard something and quickly replied. "Chief Zhen, it's him … …"
"Chief Xu had come over to talk to me about Chief Xiao Dong. She wants to promote Xiao Dong to Deputy Section Chief." Zhen Anguo had not made up his mind and asked. "I want to hear your opinion. I heard this Xiao Dong is quite capable."
"Promote Deputy Section Chief?" Yan Lei was shocked. He looked at Zhen Anguo's face and said in his heart: "Chief Zhen, I had met Xiao Dong yesterday. He is too young. He is only 23 years old, and he is already a Deputy Chief. How can he be promoted to Deputy Section Chief? This is not in line with the regulations. " Zhen Anguo had checked Dong Xuebing's resume and knew he had just graduated from the University. He does not have any qualifications.
"Chief Xu wants to make an exception and promote him to be a role model. What do you think?"
Yan Lei was thinking of finding an opportunity to teach Dong Xuebing a lesson in the future. Now, the opportunity had presented itself, and he will not hesitate. "To be honest with you, I had gone to the General Affairs Office to look for Chief Dong for help. I asked him to help me carry some things. This is what the General Affairs Office should do. But he ignored me. I called him twice, and he still refused to come. He seems to think that helping you is beneath his status. He is too immature and does not know the big picture. He does not respect you. How can you promote someone like him?" Yan Lei twisted the facts.
Zhen Anguo heard this and laughed. "It's only a small matter. Don't make it sound so serious."
Yan Lei replied: "It's not a small matter."
"Alright. I know." Zhen Anguo knew Yan Lei might have an argument with Chief Xiao Dong. That's why his words were biased. As a leader, Zhen Anguo was still smart. He will not believe what Yan Lei said.
