Chapter 17: Liu Kezhang is really fierce

  At this time, the mobile phone ringtone woke him up. The incoming call was from Yin Mo. On the phone, he told Liu Siyuan with a somewhat incredulous tone that he had just received news that Tengfei Group had officially responded to the municipal government's call and would fully resume work on the land in Beihong District within a week.

  On the phone, Yin asked him ambiguously about how he had discussed with Qi last time. Liu Siyuan himself didn't know what was going on and could only speak evasively, saying a lot of official words such as Tengfei Group taking the lead in setting an example, deserving encouragement, etc., hoping that the comrades of Beihong District would continue to work hard and take land idleness as a top priority.

  He hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and directly called Zhao Feng, who was beside Secretary-General Zhang, saying that he had work to report to the leader. As a result, the phone was transferred to Zhang Zhenggang after one minute. Liu Siyuan reported the situation of Tengfei Group to him, and the latter seemed very happy, praising him for a few sentences, and emphasizing the importance of writing a good supervision report, highlighting the bright spots. After a while, as if he had thought of something, there would be new tasks assigned to him at the meeting this afternoon, hoping that he would remain humble and strive for more.

  After hanging up the Secretary-General's phone, Liu Siyuan suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance and knew that Ouyang Qian had come over again without looking up. Originally wanted to say Comrade Ouyang doesn't need to get so close to talk, but considering there were others in the office, he endured it.

  "Section Chief, when will our department have a specific task? Sitting here is making me anxious."

  "Comrade Ouyang, the task requires the Secretary-General to arrange it, and rushing is useless. Besides, our Supervision Room has less work, which means that everything in Hanjiang City is running smoothly, and it's not a bad thing. However, just now on the phone, the Secretary-General said that there will be tasks for us this afternoon. Moreover, if there are no tasks, you can find some materials to study." Liu Sanyuan deliberately moved over a bit and said.

  Several young men saw him educating Ouyang Qian with a string of official words and were all impressed in their hearts.

  "Oh." After listening patiently to his lengthy argument, Ouyang Qian responded with a sound, and then said: "Section Chief, why don't you instruct me personally?"

  Liu Siyuan looked around and saw that several young men's eyes were filled with envy or jealousy, which made him feel embarrassed. He quickly said: "You can ask Xing Ge for advice, Xing Ge has a lot of experience."

  As expected, he glanced at Xing Jun's expression and changed, but Ou Yang Qian quickly said: "Forget it, I'll just study by myself." The latter's disappointment was evident.

  Liu Siyuan shook his head and stopped talking. At this time, he received another call, and the caller display showed that it was Fang Xinyi. Xinyi rarely took the initiative to contact him, usually it was him who initiated the contact.

  "Are you free tonight?" Fang Xinyu asked over the phone.

  "Anything up?"

  "Want to meet up and talk? At Yuan Yuan Tea House, yeah, 7:30?"

  "Agreed." Liu Siyuan said without hesitation.

  "And don't tell Tinghui."

  "Oh." Liu Siyuan's heart tightened, with a bad premonition.

  "I'm afraid she'll misunderstand. Let's discuss the details face-to-face." After saying that, Fang Xintu hung up the phone.

  Liu Siyuan thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure out her goal, and could only give up.

  There are unspoken rules within the organization, these things have never been explicitly stated, but everyone silently follows them and will not take a step beyond the雷池. For example, in the afternoon meeting, the preparation of the conference was originally Liu Sanyuan's job, Xing Jun was responsible for guiding and assisting. But now he is the deputy director, two newcomers, Lang and Cheng Tianxiang, took over this work voluntarily.

  For example, the seating arrangement does not require special arrangements, and everyone knows how to do it. The central position is reserved for the Secretary-General, with two deputy directors on either side, and the seats of Zhang Jinping and Liu Siyuan are right next to the two deputy directors. However, there is still some distinction between left and right, generally speaking, the leader's left-hand seat has a higher status, considering Yao Yuan's age, she always sits in the left-hand seat, and Zhang Jinsong sits in the right-hand seat. As Zhang Jinping is at a higher level of deputy director, he sits below Yao Yuan, and Liu Siyuan's seat is naturally below Zhang Jinsong. Ouyang Qian, as his team member, sat below him, Xing Jun has more seniority, so he sat next to Zhang Jinping, and the last row was Xiang Lang and Cheng Tianxiang. According to reason, whoever sits next to Xing Jun will appear to have a slightly higher status, but the two seem not to care about this, and instead prefer to sit next to Ouyang Qian.

  Liu Siyuan felt a bit strange sitting in his new position. He was used to being at the end of the table and didn't feel anything, just like Xiang Lang and Cheng Tianxiang now, but once he moved up, it was different. There was a subtle sense of satisfaction as a leader. No wonder people often say that power is like opium, it's addictive.

  The meeting time had passed for about twenty minutes, and Secretary Zhang finally arrived late. After sitting down, he looked around and smiled: "I see that our inspection room has strengthened a lot, I'm very pleased." This was the opening remark, followed by the start of the meeting. He first praised everyone's work over the past period, then expressed that the city government now attaches great importance to the inspection work, which is both an opportunity and pressure for everyone. He hoped that everyone would resolve the pressure, seize the opportunity, do a good job, and do the supervision work well. Later, he specifically pointed out that under the new framework, he hoped that everyone would make new achievements under the leadership of the two deputy directors.

  Regarding the division of labor, all daily supervision work was handed over to one department. As for the specific supervisor, Zhang Zhengqiang did not explicitly appoint anyone, but instead delegated the power to Zhang Jinsong, who arranged it himself.

  Just as Liu Siyuan was wondering what he should do after all the daily tasks were handed over to one department, Secretary Zhang slowly said that there was a new task yesterday, which was personally ordered by Mayor Chen. The Letters and Visits Office received multiple complaint letters pointing out that Xinyuan Chemical Factory's pollution exceeded standards, seriously affecting the surrounding environment.

  "Think carefully about this, I'm leaving it up to you." With that, Secretary Zhang announced the end of the meeting and strode away.

  "Liu Ke is now a special envoy, and the reception standard must be raised." After the meeting, he had just returned to the office when he heard Zhang Jinping say in a strange tone.

  There are always some unspoken, sour meanings between words. Just now in the meeting, Zhang Zhenggang didn't mention the comprehensive department at all, that's completely ignoring it. In an organization, sometimes a leader's disregard is more despairing than criticism. After all, when a leader criticizes you, it means you still have some position in their mind, just temporarily not doing well. If a leader disregards you, then you're out of the game. So although Zhang Jinping got promoted through unknown channels and became deputy department level, he's obviously still not favored by the secretary-general, continuing to sit on the cold bench.

  Liu Siyuan was still relatively low-key and didn't catch the sarcasm in his words, casually responding with "It's all for serving the people, anyway."

  But Ou Yang Qian was unhappy: "Was it so glorious every time Zhang Ke went out before? Or would Zhang Ke introduce some experience? I don't know if there's a team to welcome him at the highway entrance?" She raised her small head, looked at Zhang Jinping with a provocative gaze, and directly put a big hat on Zhang Jinping.

  Xiang Lang and Cheng Tianxiang couldn't help but burst out laughing, while Zhang Jinping's face turned bright red. On the one hand, he was at a loss for words, on the other hand, he didn't dare to argue with the Minister of Organization Department, so he shook his head and returned to his seat, taking out a newspaper to read. However, not being able to deal with Ou Yangqian didn't mean he couldn't deal with Xiang Lang and Cheng Tianxiang, and in his heart, he viciously made a note of these two guys who were gloating over others' misfortunes.

  Liu Siyuan and Xing Jun exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat disappointed with the performance of the two newcomers. It was clear that they still hadn't grasped the tricks of working in an official organization.

  He felt a sense of emotion, Xing Jun was just unlucky, in fact, he was much better than the two newcomers in terms of character and behavior. Earlier when Ouyang Qian and Zhang Jinping were making a scene, he remained expressionless from start to finish, reading his newspaper without even lifting his head, this composure was admirable. Over the past year or so, Liu Siyuan had to admit that he had learned a lot from him.

  Ouyang Qian won the first battle, completely ignoring Zhang Jinping's expression, and ran to Liu Siyuan's side with a proud smile, asking: "Liu Ke, what do you plan to do about this Xin Yuan Chemical Plant?"

  "Just received the task, let's study the materials first. Ah, Xiao Qian, you go investigate their background information, tomorrow we'll go on site to inspect together." Liu Siyuan said after some thought.

  "Let's go and ensure that we complete our task. We will uncover all the secrets of this chemical plant. By the way, should we contact the Environmental Protection Bureau tomorrow?"

  "It's not necessary for now, let's understand the facts first." Liu Siyuan said with a pause.

  "Yes!" After that, Ouyang Qian started working with great enthusiasm. Xiang Lang and others saw her obediently listening to Liu Siyuan's words, and they all showed some incredulous expressions. They couldn't help but sigh that Director Liu was indeed formidable.
