In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

At this moment, Liu Qingshi was anxiously waiting for the results in the lounge on the third floor of the county committee building.

Although he knew that the proposal would definitely be passed at the Standing Committee meeting, since it was Secretary Zhao's proposal and could not be rejected.

But it concerns his promotion to deputy director level, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

At this moment, sitting in the lounge with Liu Qingshi was Liu Xing, the deputy director of the county party committee office who was with Deputy Secretary Wang. Liu Xing was in his early thirties.

Deputy Director Liu Xing rose from being Deputy Secretary Wang's secretary to the position of Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office. Although he was not the Executive Deputy Director, but only a deputy section chief, in fact, once he was transferred to another position, he would definitely be promoted to section chief.

However, if we were to name one of the people in the county party committee office who had the most objections to Li Feitu's arrival, then Liu Xing, the deputy director, would definitely be one of them.

Because of the initial rumors that Deputy Secretary Wang would take over as county head, and his relationship with Deputy Secretary Wang was very close, if Deputy Secretary Wang really became county head, he would most likely be promoted directly from deputy director of the county party committee office to director of the county government office, which is Director Gao's current position.

The position of director of that government office was completely incomparable to his current position. Whether it was the influence or the power he held, to put it bluntly, they were not even in the same league.

Unfortunately, Li Feitu eventually arrived, and Deputy Secretary Wang Yanming did not become the county head, so Liu Xing lost the opportunity to become the director of the government office.

In the future, the best path he can take is to be promoted to the level of section chief and become a bureau chief in a county-level unit, or the head of a department that is not a standing committee member. Even if he has the opportunity to go to a township and directly bypass the township head, what about being promoted to secretary? With his qualifications, it is highly unlikely that he will be able to become the secretary of a larger township with good economic development.

The places we go to are mostly ordinary towns and villages.

In this case, in terms of influence and future prospects, they are not on the same level as the director of the government office.

Therefore, Liu Xing also had many opinions about Li Feitu.

He felt that Li Feitu's arrival had affected his future prospects and potential for advancement.

"Director Liu, why are you so nervous? The Party Secretary proposed it personally. So what if Li Feitu objects? It's useless."

"Don't worry, your deputy division-level position is a sure thing."

Liu Qingshi took out a cigarette and handed one to Liu Xing with a smile on his face.

"That's for sure, I have no doubt about it."

"Who is our Party Secretary? He's a man of absolute authority in the county. Who would dare disobey him?"

"However, as you know, my promotion to deputy director this time was really partly due to luck. So many people are waiting for this opportunity; I couldn't help but be nervous."

"Brother, where do you think I'll most likely go after I'm promoted to deputy director?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing smiled and shook his head, saying, "Director Liu, you're putting me in a difficult position. How could I possibly know what the leaders are considering?"

"What? Brother Liu, are you planning to become a standing committee member directly?"

Upon hearing this, Director Liu quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "I wouldn't dare. I know my own capabilities. Being promoted to deputy director level would be great. To go straight to the Standing Committee is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of. There hasn't been such an example in Linchuan County in recent years."

"However, there are not many vacancies for deputy county heads in the government right now. I think it's highly likely that I will be assigned to the People's Congress, which is still short of a deputy director."

"My dear brother, to be honest, I'm quite satisfied. However, you know I'm not that old, and I still want to contribute my share. I'm thinking that after joining Renmin University, perhaps I could also take on a leadership role in some unit?"

"For example, in our county, after Old Chen retired, the position of Development and Reform Bureau has been vacant. I think it would be good if I could give up my position in the Industry and Information Technology Bureau and concurrently serve as the director of the Development and Reform Bureau in my capacity as the deputy director of the People's Congress?"

"I also oversee industry, and I'm quite familiar with the business at the Development and Reform Bureau. What do you think, buddy?"

Seeing Liu Qingshi's greedy face, Liu Xing burst into laughter and said, "Brother Liu, you really have a very good idea."

"The Development and Reform Commission, they have the power to approve applications. I'd love to work there too, let alone you."

"However, our word doesn't count."

"However, it's not entirely impossible."

"Here's what you do: talk to Secretary Wang first, get a feel for him, and see what he thinks. If he agrees, have him mention it to the Party Secretary. Maybe then, things will work out."

Liu Qingshi's face lit up with a smile. He grabbed Liu Xing's arm and said with a laugh, "Brother, I'd like to ask you to put in a good word for me with Secretary Wang."

"Don't worry, brother, I won't treat you badly."

Liu Xing smiled and nodded, saying, "We're all on the same side, let's not talk about this anymore. Wait a moment, I'll check the messages."

After saying that, Liu Xing glanced at his phone, then smiled at Liu Qingshi and said, "Brother Liu, congratulations! Someone at the meeting just sent me a message saying you have enough votes. The Standing Committee has approved your recommendation for deputy director level."

"Hey buddy, don't forget me when you've made it big!"

After receiving the news from Liu Xing, Liu Qingshi immediately became excited. After all, although he was quite certain that he could become a deputy director, Secretary Zhao still had that much authority.

However, official confirmation is different from speculation.

"No problem, no problem. We're brothers, no need for formalities. Just ask if you need anything, brother."

"You know very well who your brother is. In short, I will definitely do what I can, and I will do my best to do what I can't."

"Okay, once the secretary arrives, I'll definitely go and thank him properly. So, after I leave the secretary's office, brother, let's find some time tonight to have a drink, until we're completely drunk!"

A few minutes later, Liu Qingshi and Liu Xing heard the sound of chairs being pulled upstairs.

Their location was directly below the conference room, so the meeting had ended.

Liu Qingshi quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a big smile, "Brother, remember tonight, we're not leaving until we're drunk!"

"Also, don't forget to say a few words for me to Secretary Wang. We brothers should share the good fortune."

"I'll go to Secretary Zhao first to express my gratitude."

Liu Xing nodded with a smile.

Soon, footsteps could be heard in the third-floor corridor.

Liu Qingshi immediately walked out of the reception lounge with a big smile on his face, and then saw Secretary Zhao and others walking towards the office.

Because of the distance, Liu Qingshi didn't see how unpleasant Secretary Zhao's expression was. Instead, he immediately ran to meet him.

"Secretary, Secretary, you've worked so hard."

"Although I didn't attend the meeting, I've already heard about the results."

"Thank you so much, Secretary. If it weren't for you, I, Liu Qingshi, would never have achieved what I have today."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Who wouldn't want to hear nice words and words of gratitude?

Even if Liu Qingshi's behavior is seen as obsequious by many, so what?

Many people want to fawn over Secretary Zhao, but they must be qualified to do so.

However, to Liu Qingshi's surprise, when Secretary Zhao saw him, he did not greet him with a smile or any polite words. Instead, his face turned ashen, and he pointed his finger directly at Liu Qingshi's nose.

"Get out!"

"Get out of here right now!"

"Get out, you piece of trash!"
