Chapter Nineteenth: Jeep (Click to Recommend and Collect)

  The Planning Division of the Eastern Command was a cold and quiet place until Su Cheng arrived.

  He has not yet taken office, and the entire Dongjiang Command is already rumored: Su City is Secretary Lin's person.

  Secretary Lin Yonggui is the full-time deputy secretary in charge of the production department. In other words, the General Headquarters Planning Department, which used to like to make plans for the secondary command center, was under Secretary Lin's command.

  Naturally, with the support of Secretary Lin, Su Cheng will have the long-awaited real power in the Dong Plan. This makes everyone, including the director, smile and welcome him when he walks into the office of the plan department.

  After some small talk, Director Shang Jun pulled Su Cheng's hand and walked into a small office that resembled a pigeon coop. He said sincerely: "Little Su, I'm about to retire soon, my energy and physical strength are no longer good, I can only do some logistical work for you young people. As for you, be bold and charge forward, our department's people all support you."

  "You're not old at all, you can still make revolution for another 20 years." Su Cheng looked at Shang Zongchang, who appeared to be only in his 40s from the outside, and had probably been marginalized for too long, which gave him the idea of retirement.

  Chang let out a couple of dry laughs, then changed the subject: "Is there anything you need our department to cooperate with? You can bring it up now or file a report later. The four of you from the three departments - Old Liu and Old Feng are older and more mature, while Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiang have graduated from school for three or four years now, so they're in their prime working years. Of course, if there's not enough manpower, other departments are also idle."

  Su Cheng listened and felt embarrassed, thinking that Shang Chulang was too honest.

  These days, officials who are idle outnumber those who are busy. They must be very idle to become so melancholic.

  He didn't know that in recent years, with the expansion of the headquarters planning department, except for some dispensable work, the second-level department's planning department couldn't even take on dirty and tiring tasks, and Director Shang was really waiting to retire.

  Su Cheng returned to Sanke, and all four of them stood up.

  Su Cheng didn't have any experience as a leader, and with a slightly awkward smile, he said: "From today on, our department will be fully responsible for promoting the Basic Five Small. You all should prepare the materials first and get familiar with the situation."

  The four of them responded in unison, with great momentum, and startled Suzhou city.

  He sat down at his desk, had just picked up pen and paper, ready to make a plan, when he heard someone knock on the office door.

  "Is Director Su in?"

  "Who are you?" Little Jiang immediately stood up.

  "Comrade, hello! I'm Little Zhao from the Cadre Department."

  Xiao Jiang looked back at Su City and sat down.

  Xiao Zhao walked two steps forward to Su Cheng's desk and smiled: "Director Su, I'm here to send you a car."

  He said, putting a key gently on the table.

  "Jeep?" Su Cheng looked at the key.

  Xiao Zhao spoke with extra caution and said, "It just so happens that our small car class has an empty vehicle, I'll have it delivered to you. If you need a driver, just call the phone number."

  There will never be an empty car in the minibus. Su Cheng looked at him and recalled, "Have we met before?"

  "It's... " Little Zhao lowered his head and said with a hint of embarrassment: "When you arrived at the East Command Center, it was I who received you.

  Su Cheng suddenly remembered, it was this person who didn't even ask any questions, and with a stroke of his pen, assigned himself to the oil extraction team.

  He looked up again, and Xiao Zhao's face had turned into a bitter chrysanthemum. In fact, the oil field was a wealthy department, but it was also a deputy ministerial unit, with many officials like cattle hair, far from being rich enough to provide cars for section-level cadres, let alone a Beijing Jeep produced in the 60s and 70s, which was something that ordinary division-level cadres could only look at but not aspire to.

  It was because Xiao Zhao felt guilty towards Su Cheng, and after reading the newspaper and hearing rumors, that he went to beg his uncle to send a public car to make up for his private mistakes.

  Have to say, this gift is very satisfying.

  Su Cheng wasn't a vengeful person, and he couldn't help but chuckle as he stretched out his hand: "Well, I suppose we're old acquaintances now. Thanks for seeing me off."

  "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. If Director Su has something to say, just go ahead and say it." Little Zhao felt a sudden sense of relief in his heart. Deputy Secretary Lin was the direct superior of his uncle's direct superior's direct superior. He tightly grasped Su Cheng's hand and said: "If you want to learn how to drive, just call the driver to teach you. Our unit can reimburse all sorts of expenses."

  Xiao Zhao left the office with a nod and a bow. Jiang sighed, "Our department head is still the best, this is the first car in the planning department."

  "If you can get a driver's license, you can also drive." Su Cheng said casually.

  "Really?" Jiang was excited for a moment.

  Old Feng coughed heavily once.

  Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I said it can be used, so from now on this car will serve as our department's transportation vehicle. Whoever wants to use it just come get the key."

  He turned around and hung the key on the wall behind his back.

  Lao Feng and others looked at each other in dismay, none of them knew what kind of tricks Su Cheng was up to.

  It's actually very simple, Su Cheng doesn't want to be a topic of conversation. Among the section-level cadres in the East Command, I estimate that not one person has a car allocated to them, and if he had one for personal use, he would definitely be pointed at and talked about. But it's different when the whole department uses it, the oil extraction team also has three trucks for commuting.

  But whether they understand or not, Suzhou's approach is indeed refreshing.
