Power and Wealth

Morning.

In the office.

Cheng Yujie and Chen Yunsong entered. Seeing Dong Xuebing and Zheng Dayou sitting in such positions, they both felt slightly uneasy. Being called by the leaders for a conversation couldn't be entirely a good thing, especially for them working in the Investment Promotion Bureau, which is considered a straightforward government office.

"Leaders."

"Mayor Dong."

"Director Zheng."

"Please sit, both of you."

Zheng Dayou gestured, and the two sat down.

Seeing them like this, Dong Xuebing smiled, looking at Zheng Dayou, "Old Zheng, you go ahead."

"You go ahead; I'm not very clear about it either." Zheng Dayou was polite to Dong Xuebing.

Seeing the two leaders smiling, Chen Yunsong and Cheng Yujie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright." Dong Xuebing looked at both of them and finally focused on Chen Yunsong's face. Slowly, he asked, "Xiao Chen, how long have you been working?"

Chen Yunsong hurriedly said, "A little over a year, not even two years."

Dong Xuebing nodded slightly, flipping through the files in his hand. "I looked at your work performance since you came to the Investment Promotion Bureau. Most of last year's million-dollar investment came from your efforts, right?"

Chen Yunsong immediately said, "It was all done with Director Zheng's guidance and the help of colleagues. It's not solely my credit."

Zheng Dayou smiled, "Still being modest."

However, Dong Xuebing was very satisfied with his answer. "Xiao Chen, you don't need to be humble. Your work achievements are evident to everyone. Yesterday, at the County Party Committee meeting, I fought for you. Starting today, the Investment Promotion Bureau will reestablish the Business Department, and I propose that you take the position of the head of this Business Department. This position is not easy; it directly affects the work performance of the Investment Promotion Bureau. What do you think?"Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Noᴠelꜰɪre.nᴇt

Business Department.

Head of the Business Department.

Chen Yunsong was stunned. He never expected such a good thing to fall on his head. He had only been working for a little over a year. Although this position was not a promotion, it still enjoyed the treatment of a Deputy Section Chief. His salary would jump up significantly. It was a huge opportunity. The nearby Cheng Yujie also seemed visibly stunned.

Chen Yunsong said, "I…"

Dong Xuebing asked, "What's your opinion?"

Chen Yunsong stammered, " I promise to complete the tasks."

Dong Xuebing said, "Good. If you have this confidence, that's enough. Go back for now. The Organization Department may want to talk to you today. Prepare yourself; don't let down the expectations of me and Director Zheng."

Chen Yunsong stood up and said, "Yes, thank you, Mayor Dong, thank you, Director Zheng."

Opening the door, Chen Yunsong walked out with excitement. He gently closed the door behind him.

Hearing the arrangement for Chen Yunsong, Cheng Yujie couldn't sit still. Her heart was full of anticipation. If Chen Yunsong could take the position of the head of the Business Department, she should also be eligible. Even though her work performance was not as outstanding as Chen Yunsong's, she also worked hard. With young comrades being promoted, the leaders should not forget her. Cheng Yujie immediately looked at Dong Xuebing with expectation. She understood that these things were arranged by Mayor Dong, and Mayor Dong also determined the appointment of positions. Director Zheng did not have such power.

Sure enough, Dong Xuebing looked at Cheng Yujie the next second and smiled, "Sister Cheng, you have seniority in our Investment Promotion Bureau. I heard from Director Zheng and also reviewed your file. Although we may not know each other very well, I have a general understanding of you. I just mentioned Xiao Chen's outstanding performance, but as far as I know, many investors were entertained by you and Xiao Chen together. You also arranged both the plans and logistics. Achieving a million in investments last year also reflects your ability."

Cheng Yujie apologized, "You're too kind. It's nothing. I just did what I should."

Dong Xuebing said, "That's why I proposed reconstructing the Investment Promotion Bureau's office at the Party Committee meeting yesterday. Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang both nodded. For the position of the office director, both Old Zheng and I think you, Sister Cheng, are the most suitable."

Office…

Office Director.

Cheng Yujie was stunned, reflexively taking a deep breath.

She thought she was about the same as Xiao Chen, satisfied with a Deputy Section Chief position. Comparing herself, she knew clearly in her heart. However, the position mentioned by Mayor Dong was completely different from Xiao Chen's Business Department Head. Xiao Chen only enjoyed the treatment of a Deputy Section Chief, while her position was a genuine Deputy Section Chief level. She, Cheng Yujie, could be considered for a promotion.

Promotion.

She had rarely thought about it.

Finally, is there a chance for me?

Cheng Yujie was extremely excited, but given her age, her face was more mature than Gong Na and Chen Yunsong. She showed joy and gratitude without being incoherent, saying, "Thank you for Mayor Dong and Director Zheng's trust. I will work harder to do well in logistical work."

Dong Xuebing said, "Well, we also have confidence in you."

"Thank you, leaders."

Dong Xuebing smiled self-deprecatingly, "But our Investment Promotion Bureau has a limited number of people. Maybe we're not much different now, even if we're not a one-man show. But I believe that with everyone's efforts, it will be better in the future. Well, you can go back. The Organization Department will want to talk to you today."

Cheng Yujie expressed her gratitude appropriately and with excitement before leaving.

The three people in the Investment Promotion Bureau have all been promoted now. They wouldn't be happy for no reason. Talking about what they promised yesterday was just empty talk. None of them had the enthusiasm to get promoted. Now, they all seemed much more energetic than yesterday.

The atmosphere in the office area also exuded vitality and joy.

In the director's office.

Dong Xuebing exchanged some thoughts with Zheng Dayou. "Old Zheng, the Investment Promotion Bureau is under your supervision, and the personnel allocation mainly depends on your decision." Although they were both working for the benefit of the Investment Promotion Bureau, Dong Xuebing's proposal at the meeting yesterday was his decision without consulting Zheng Dayou. Even though Dong Xuebing was Zheng Dayou's leader, the Investment Promotion Bureau was still under the leadership of Old Zheng. Dong Xuebing certainly had to respect his opinion.

Zheng Dayou asked, "What are your plans?"

Dong Xuebing smiled, "You decide. I respect your opinion, and you've been in contact with everyone for a long time, knowing more than I do."

After thinking briefly, Zheng Dayou said, "Alright, let me say something. Xiao Gong is good at logistics. Even if we talk about the office establishment, the newcomer Xiao Xiao used to work in the government office, and she should be good at handling relationships. Let her be assigned to the Business Department. We can also internally give Xiao Xiao the authority of a deputy section chief. Of course, it's just the name, and the salary will remain the same, with no difference."

Dong Xuebing nodded and said, "Okay, let's do that."
