122: Arrange for people around you
Lin Zifeng did not expect that attending the drinking party organized by Comrade Li Chunchang would have such a harvest.
Facing Zhu Yushan's goodwill, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
He knew clearly in his heart that this was all the convenience brought to him by the status of County Party Standing Committee Member.
But he still expressed his gratitude to Zhu Yushan!
At this time, the food and drinks were all served. Everyone stopped mentioning work and began to chat about various experiences while drinking heartily.
The drinking party lasted for more than two hours before it ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
Several people walked out of the hotel laughing and talking. Knowing that Lin Zifeng had walked there, Minister Zou insisted on taking him back.
Lin Zifeng refused twice, but seeing the other party holding onto his hand and not letting go, he had no choice but to get into the car with Minister Zou.
Minister Zou asked the driver to take Lin Zifeng home first and told him to drive slowly. The driver drove the car very steadily towards the direction of Lin Zifeng's home.
"Secretary Lin, drinking today was truly a pleasure!"
"I have long wanted to enjoy a drink and chat with you, but there has never been a suitable opportunity."
"Our Yushu County! Over these years, there hasn't been much improvement in terms of economic development."
"There aren't many Cadres who have moved on from Yushu County, and that is all because of the lack of improvement in economic development."
"I didn't expect that under your leadership, Heping Town would be able to attract so much investment, and the momentum of development is actually so rapid."
"If this continues to develop, not only will the leadership team of Heping Town benefit from it, but some other leaders in the county will also gain advantages in the future."
"At your age, you will definitely have a bright future and reach higher positions. I really envy you!"
Tonight, Minister Zou had drunk quite a lot, and his speech had lost some of its usual standard.
"Minister Zou, I can only say that each has its own advantages. Although I am young and have a certain advantage in age, my lack of work experience is my disadvantage."
"I still need to learn more from you, Minister Zou."
The two talked all the way, and the driver drove the car to the main gate of the Residential Community where Lin Zifeng lived.
Lin Zifeng said goodbye to Minister Zou and walked into the Residential Community.
When he entered his home, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiahua had not yet gone to sleep and were waiting for him in the Living Room.
Zhang Chunhua knew he would be drinking in the evening, so she had prepared Sober-Up Soup for Lin Zifeng in advance.
Seeing him walk in, Zhang Chunhua stood up and said: "My son is back? Come over and sit down."
"You've had quite a bit to drink, haven't you? Come have a bowl of Sober-Up Soup; you'll sleep more comfortably if you drink it before going to bed."
"Mom, I'm in good health, and drinking this much alcohol is nothing. In the future, if this happens again, please don't go to the trouble of preparing Sober-Up Soup for me."
Lin Zifeng said while walking over and sitting down beside his mother.
"You child, what are you saying? No matter how good your health is, you still need to take care of it."
"Listen to Mom and drink the Sober-Up Soup quickly."
Zhang Chunhua said as she picked up the Sober-Up Soup from the coffee table and handed it to Lin Zifeng.
Lin Zifeng took it and drank it all in one go. After putting down the bowl, he asked: "Mom, what exactly did those three aunts come to our house for today?"
"It couldn't have been as simple as just coming over to chat with you, right?"
"You really guessed right, kid. Those three aunts of yours didn't come specifically to chat with your mom; they all came specially to introduce a partner to you."
Before Zhang Chunhua could speak, Lin Jiahua snatched the words away.
Hearing what Lin Jiahua said, Lin Zifeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then quickly stood up and said: "Mom and Dad, it's getting late, you should go rest!"
"I'm going to take a shower and go to sleep too."
After saying this, he walked quickly towards the Bathroom.
The couple knew he didn't want to discuss this topic, so they looked at each other and got up to walk towards the Bedroom.
For the entire next day, Lin Zifeng stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
On Monday morning, Li Qiang and Wang Zhongyu arrived on time to pick him up.
Lin Zifeng asked Wang Zhongyu to notify the Office that the Party Committee Meeting would start promptly at nine in the morning. This was the first Party Committee Meeting held by the new team members.
He wanted to let the three newly promoted team members familiarize themselves with the procedures of the Party Committee Meeting.
There were also two personnel appointments that needed to be discussed and studied at the Party Committee Meeting.
One was the position of Office Director, and the second was the position of Finance Office Chief. The power to appoint Cadres below the deputy section level rested with the town.
Looking at Wang Zhongyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, he said: "Zhongyu, since you have a public institution staffing, why don't you take on the position of Deputy Director in the Office!"
"This way, if you don't work by my side in the future, you will have a platform for promotion."
Wang Zhongyu turned around and said somewhat excitedly: "Secretary, I am willing to work by your side forever. By your side, I can learn a lot."
"I'm asking you to take on the position of Deputy Director not to make you leave my side, but just to make some preparations in advance."
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
"If I continue to work in Yushu County, I won't let you leave my side, but what if I am transferred to work in other regions in the future?"
Lin Zifeng explained patiently.
"Then I am still willing to follow you."
Wang Zhongyu answered without even hesitating.
Lin Zifeng felt a wave of relief, but still said: "This matter is settled. We'll talk about the future in the future."
Wang Zhongyu finally agreed and sat back.
Lin Zifeng then continued: "Zhongyu, after the Party Committee Meeting is over today, find a suitable time to go see the Organization Committee Member and tell him it was authorized by me."
"Let's resolve Qiang Zi's staffing issue. Qiang Zi has been driving for us for such a long time, and he has never made a single mistake."
"We cannot let Qiang Zi continue to work as a temporary worker."
"It's best to get him directly into a public institution position in one step, instead of messing with service staff staffing."
"If any department in the county has difficulty approving it, tell him to report to me, and I will communicate with that department."
The reason why Lin Zifeng did this was not because he had been promoted to County Party Standing Committee Member and was now letting his associates benefit from his position.
Rather, it was because Li Qiang had been driving for him for almost a year. All this time, he had been diligent, emotionally stable, and honest, perfectly embodying the role of a driver.
Originally, as a retired soldier, he should have been assigned a job, but because there were few service staff positions, he was assigned as a temporary worker.
That is why he arranged it this way; it was completely compliant with the rules.
Hearing Lin Zifeng's arrangement, Wang Zhongyu happily agreed. One could hear from his tone that he was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart for this partner who spent every day with him.
The car swayed slightly, showing that Li Qiang's heart was not calm.
Li Qiang quickly steadied his excited emotions and said: "Thank you, Secretary!"
Although he only said four words, every word interpreted his sincerity from the heart.
