Right path to power

Following up on Liu Yun's words, Tong Yanyan also raised her glass and said sweetly, "Yes, yes, Director Liu is right. Let's all toast Teacher Bai to thank him for his guidance and strict requirements."

After finishing her drink, Tong Yanyan raised her glass again and said, "Let's toast our class monitor with this glass. We wish her all the best and hope she will take good care of her old classmates in the future."

Everyone raised their glasses to Lin Xiao again, their eyes filled with admiration and a different kind of expectation.

They are no longer naive students, and naturally understand the importance of connections in their work and life. The powerful energy that Lin Xiao has shown will definitely be useful to them in the future.

"Class monitor, you must take my matter to heart," Qu Bingbing said sweetly. After all that commotion, the effects of the alcohol had worn off considerably.

"Don't worry, I remember."

"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"no problem."

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jiansen poured himself a glass of wine and toasted Lin Xiao, thanking him for helping his daughter find a job.

In fact, this is much more than just finding a job. With this connection from the Provincial Department of Education, Bai Wenwen will surely have a better future at school.

Therefore, Lin Xiao's phone call almost determined Bai Wenwen's entire career plan.

At the same time, Lin Xiao naturally became the center of attention at the dinner table, and everyone came to toast him.

Finally, the class reunion ended in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

When it was time to pay the bill, the receptionist informed us that Director Dong had already settled it.

"This is another way of giving face to our class monitor."

"Of course, he's the deputy director of the county government office, a favorite of the leaders."

"Sigh, everyone has their own fate, look at Yan Yifan..."

"Everyone has their own life, there's no need to envy, be jealous of, or hate them."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh again.

On the way back, Liu Yun joked, "Hey Director Lin, when are you going to pull some strings for me and get me promoted to the county or city level?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I mean, with such strong connections in the provincial capital, transferring me to a county or city would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

"You really want to?"

"certainly?"

"Get lost!"

"I don't care at all!"

"That's right."

"cut!"

"Working diligently and practically is better than anything else."

"Stop with the nonsense. I'm also curious how you got to know people in the provincial capital. Even if your uncle's connections are strong, I still don't think it's that high. What kind of mysterious figure is behind you?"

"Liu Suo, when did you become so gossipy?"

"Fine, don't tell me then. You're making it sound like I'm desperate to know. If you want to get promoted and make money, it's safer to rely on yourself."

"It's my teacher..."

......

Before we knew it, it was Friday.

The county party committee convened a meeting of its standing committee to report on issues related to the education system submitted by the county government's inspection office and to discuss disciplinary decisions regarding relevant personnel.

Fu Xiaocong, the former director of the county education bureau, was found to be suspected of embezzlement and bribery, as well as serious dereliction of duty. He was dismissed from public office and transferred to the relevant authorities for further processing.

Fengshan Primary School was found to have violated regulations by organizing extra classes and had issues with the safety and hygiene of its cafeteria. The principal received a major demerit, and the vice principal in charge was dismissed.

Other schools that engaged in illegal tutoring also received disciplinary actions, including warnings for the principal and severe warnings for the vice principal in charge.

"Comrades, the county has made up its mind to seriously address the inaction of officials, which is typically characterized by 'laziness and laxity.' The problems in the education system have set an extremely negative example for other units, so the punishment will be relatively severe."

We must make all cadres, big and small, in the county take heed: lying down is a mistake, doing nothing is a fault. If someone shirks their duties, occupies a position without doing anything, just coasts along, only seeks to get by rather than excel, and would rather do nothing to ensure nothing goes wrong, then they will be held accountable, ranging from dismissal to legal prosecution.

Therefore, all units in the county should take this as a warning, enhance their sense of political responsibility, strengthen their execution capabilities, and fully implement the central government's decisions and the work arrangements of the provincial, municipal, and county governments. The county's publicity department should organize publicity and education work effectively and give full play to its role in warning and education.

County Party Secretary Huang Zaichuan delivered a concluding speech, and it was clear that his voice was strong and his attitude was firm and resolute.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiao was organizing the documents from the morning meeting when there was a knock on the door.

Looking up, Lin Xiao saw Cao Jinchuan, the deputy director of the county propaganda department. She was stunned. At the same time, a beautiful face peeked out from behind Cao Jinchuan and smiled at Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was startled.

Fan Yuyan?

How did she get here?

There was also a middle-aged man with them, but Lin Xiao didn't recognize him.

"Director Lin, you must be busy. This is Director Lü Gexuan from our county TV station. I don't need to introduce the other one, right...? Well, let me formally introduce her. This is Director Fan Yuyan from the news department of the county TV station."

Director of the News Department?

Surprises kept coming one after another. Lin Xiao couldn't help but look at Fan Yuyan, wondering when she had been promoted and how she had suddenly become the director of a key department.

Even more strangely, when Fan Yuyan saw Lin Xiao looking at her, her previously silly smile suddenly became somewhat awkward, and she even lowered her head slightly.

At this moment, it was Lü Gexuan who took the initiative to step forward and say, "Hello, Director Lin, according to the county party committee's work plan, the TV station will produce a special program to warn about the problems in the county's education system. Xiao Fan is the director of the news department, so she will be participating. Although she is your girlfriend, we will still be strict with her at work and make sure this special program is of the highest quality..."

girlfriend?

Lin Xiao was stunned again. What was all this about?

He frowned, staring intently at Fan Yuyan, wondering what kind of trouble this woman was up to now.

At this moment, a hint of panic flashed in Fan Yuyan's eyes, and she immediately put on a pitiful look and looked at Lin Xiao, her eyes full of pleading.

Lin Xiao immediately understood what was going on, and when he saw Lu Gexuan's obsequious expression, he was speechless.

Unfortunately, they rushed to claim credit before even understanding the situation.

"Director Lü is joking. I don't know where you heard that Director Fan is my girlfriend?"

"This...isn't this...something everyone already knows?"

"Yeah?"

Lin Xiao almost laughed out of anger. She never expected Fan Yuyan to pull off such a "secret operation." She thought that since they hadn't been in contact for quite some time, their relationship had ended. Who knew that Fan Yuyan would actually announce in her workplace that they were still boyfriend and girlfriend?

Perhaps this is also why she was promoted?

Is the county TV station really this careless when it comes to promoting someone?

It seems that a special inspection should also be conducted.
