Official excuse: I've put you on patrol in Handong, and the whole province is in a panic.

After the initial shock and fear, I felt incredibly fortunate.

I'm glad I showed Su Zhe enough respect and support on the phone, and I'm glad I made the decisive order to have Liu Ziming come back.

If I had hesitated or shown any favoritism just now, things would probably be beyond repair now.

At the same time, a surge of anger also welled up in Liu Ziming once again.

This idiot almost dragged himself down with him.

Zhang Mingyuan thought for a moment and then dialed the phone number of Zhao Guoping, the office director.

"Director! Is there something you need?"

Zhang Mingyuan said calmly, "Guoping, what do you think of Liu Ziming?"

Zhao Guoping hesitated for a moment.

Liu Ziming?

That's a complete scumbag!

He doesn't work properly on weekdays, dumping all his work on his colleagues, and he's arrogant and domineering at work.

Now, after much difficulty, they've finally sent it to the anti-corruption task force in Handong...

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he's the son of an official, and you, sir, seem to favor him quite a bit, don't you...?

Otherwise, how could this bastard have been promoted to the level of a full-fledged department head?

Now the director is suddenly asking me this question...

Could it be that they just assigned Liu Ziming to a position and are planning to promote him to deputy director-general level?

Is this asking for one's own opinion?

The more Zhao Guoping thought about it, the more sense it made.

He smiled and said, "Director, Liu Ziming is a good comrade! He is always serious and responsible in his work, and this time he took the initiative to shoulder important responsibilities and worked tirelessly to participate in the work group arranged by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection..."

Zhang Mingyuan's face was full of anger.

"Good my foot! Zhao Guoping, are you blind? Liu Ziming is always late and leaves early, and you can't even see him every few days! His work record is also terrible! What kind of work has he ever managed as a section chief? Isn't it all done by his subordinates? If people like this are good comrades, then God is truly blind!"

As he spoke.

Zhang Mingyuan instructed Zhao Guoping, whose smile had now frozen on his face, "You hurry up and collect and organize information about Liu Ziming. He is absent from his post and does not come to work without asking for leave. As long as he meets the conditions for dismissal, we will immediately proceed with the dismissal process!"

Furthermore, go and communicate with Secretary Fang of the Discipline Inspection Team. Tell him it's my idea to ask him to investigate whether Liu Ziming has any other problems. If he is suspected of violating the law or committing a crime, he should be punished accordingly, and the case should be transferred to another authority as appropriate! There will be absolutely no leniency!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoping was stunned, and even began to question the meaning of life.

what's going on?

Its daybreak?

Finally, someone has taken care of that Liu Ziming guy?

Although Zhao Guoping was a little unhappy after being scolded by his boss, he was immediately happy when he thought about how Liu Ziming's fate was even worse, and he readily agreed.

"Okay, okay, boss! I guarantee I'll get the job done. I'll talk to Secretary Fang right away! Don't worry, Director! I'll handle this matter well!"

......

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mingyuan forced himself to calm down. The most urgent task was to find a suitable person to take over.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and quickly scanned the names of several candidates in his mind.

Business skills, political awareness, coordination ability, and most importantly, being sensible, knowing how to position oneself correctly, and being able to fully cooperate with Su Zhe's work.

Amidst the swirling smoke, a name gradually came into focus: Zhou Bingguo, the director of the Investment Division of the Planning and Development Bureau.

Zhou Bingguo is 39 years old, in his prime, and is recognized within the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission as a young and pragmatic leader.

He graduated from the economics department of a prestigious university, possesses outstanding professional skills, and has presided over and participated in the formulation of several important industry plans and policies, achieving remarkable results.

More importantly, this person is meticulous and down-to-earth, has high emotional intelligence, knows how to advance and retreat, is well-liked in the committee, and handles relationships with superiors and subordinates very well.

Sending him would both fill the business gap left by Liu Ziming and ensure smooth cooperation with Su Zhe.

After making up his mind, Zhang Mingyuan immediately asked his secretary to notify Zhou Bingguo to come to his office right away.

Zhou Bingguo was in his office reviewing a draft industry development plan that was about to be submitted when he received a call from the director's secretary, saying that Director Zhang had something urgent to discuss with him. He was somewhat surprised.

Director Zhang usually ignores low-level employees like them; at most, he'll approach their bureau chief or deputy bureau chief.

It's extremely rare to be suddenly summoned to a lowly division-level official like myself, especially in such an urgent situation.

He dared not delay, immediately put down his work, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the director's office.

soon.

Zhou Bingguo met with Director Zhang's secretary and, led by the secretary, entered Director Zhang's office.

"Director, you wanted to see me?"

Zhang Mingyuan stood by the window smoking, his expression somewhat grave.

"Bingguo has arrived. Please sit down, please have a seat."

Zhang Mingyuan turned around, forced a smile, pointed to the sofa, and sat down opposite him.

Zhou Bingguo sat down as instructed, straightening his back and calmly looking at Zhang Mingyuan, awaiting instructions.

"Bingguo, there's an urgent mission that requires your immediate attention." Zhang Mingyuan cut straight to the point without much small talk. "Comrade Liu Ziming, who was originally assigned to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Leading Group for Special Governance of Corruption in Handong, is unable to continue this work due to some personal reasons. After an emergency meeting of the Party Committee, it has been decided that you will take over his position as the deputy leader of the working group."

Zhou Bingguo was shocked.

Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Special Governance Working Group stationed in Handong?

He had vaguely heard about this matter; it was of a very high level. However, this was not the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's primary responsibility.

Honestly.

Zhou Bingguo was not interested.

Secondment, secondment...

If it's a transfer from a lower-level department to a higher-level department, there's still some hope.

Those who are seconded are hoping that their superiors will see their outstanding work performance and retain them.

Now, Zhou Bingguo is thriving within the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). At just 39 years old, he has already become a division chief, and in a few years he might be promoted directly to deputy director.

That's a deputy director-level official!

During this period, why should I create unnecessary complications by joining some anti-corruption work leading group?

If you want to develop your career in a company, it's best not to participate in this kind of secondment. This kind of secondment means doing things for other departments, which only involves hard work but no real achievement. Even if you do achieve something, your own company won't see it. Whether it's promotion or awards, although in principle, seconded personnel will be considered, in reality, very few seconded personnel can actually receive this kind of treatment.

In other words, whether Zhou Bingguo is away for a year and a half or just three to five months, it's all for nothing...

at this time.

Zhou Bingguo's hesitation was evident on Zhang Mingyuan's face.

Zhang Mingyuan knew what Zhou Bingguo was thinking.

He said calmly, "I understand if you're unwilling! I can ask other people!"
