319: Unexpected transfer order

After officially returning to work, Lin Zifeng once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to his duties.

Under his leadership and guidance, Yushu City continued to develop steadily and rapidly.

During this period, WeChat had fully expanded, with advertisements everywhere, and the public gradually began to accept and use this new method of communication.

Moments began to rise rapidly, and various groups sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, such as veteran groups, classmate groups, family groups, work groups, and Residential Community owner groups.

For Lin Zifeng, there was no pressure at all in accepting this new type of social interaction.

He also registered a WeChat account with the nickname "Family, Country, and the World."

However, in his friend list, besides the Leadership Team Members, there were only his family and Chen Yuqing.

He had never posted a single Moment, and his profile picture was a landscape painting.

One day, as he was about to get off work, his private phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Jiang Yufei, he waved his hand to signal Wang Zhongyu, who was pouring water for him, to leave before answering.

“Hello, Yufei. Aren't you in the Municipal Party Committee Compound? We're so close, why are you calling?”

“I'm afraid that if I look for you too often under the guise of reporting work, others will get suspicious and it'll affect you. Isn't calling more convenient?”

Jiang Yufei's sweet voice came through the receiver.

“Alright, you're being thoughtful. Calling me just as I'm about to get off work, do you have something on your mind again?”

Lin Zifeng said with a chuckle.

“It's almost March. To achieve my goal, you'll have to work a bit harder during this time. If I don't get pregnant now, I won't be able to carry out my plan or give an account to my parents.”

Jiang Yufei said very directly, without the slightest bit of shyness.

“This kind of hard work is a plum job that others would beg for. How could I find it tiring?

It's just that according to your previous plan, if you get pregnant, you'll have to leave Yushu City. I can't bear to see you go.”

“I don't want to be away from you for so long either, but we have no choice. This is the best way for now.

After work, I'll wait for you at home. Go there early so you can get back home early too, to prevent the one at your house from getting suspicious.”

Jiang Yufei said considerately.

Lin Zifeng agreed, and Jiang Yufei hung up the phone.

After getting off work, Lin Zifeng had Li Qiang stop the car halfway. Looking at Wang Zhongyu, he said, “Zhongyu, I have some private business. You and Qiang Zi go back first!”

Wang Zhongyu complied, and Lin Zifeng quickly got out of the car and walked alone toward another road.

Lin Zifeng arrived at Jiang Yufei's residence cautiously, where she was already waiting for him.

Over an hour later, Lin Zifeng left and went straight home without stopping.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. During this period, Lin Zifeng attended meetings at various levels.

Finally, he went to the capital to attend the Two Sessions for over a week before returning to Yushu City.

Anyone in the system knows that once the Two Sessions end, it won't be long before the annual personnel adjustment work begins.

Organization Departments at all levels were in the midst of intense preparations, compiling various assessment and evaluation data from the past year to provide the most solid foundation for personnel adjustments.

At this moment, a very unexpected transfer order left most Cadres in Yushu City deeply confused.

Because Jiang Yufei, a Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Yushu City and the Party Secretary of Heping Town, was suddenly transferred out of Yushu City.

The transfer order only mentioned "assigned to another post," but the well-informed Standing Committee Members knew that Jiang Yufei had been transferred to the Municipal Womens Federation to serve as the Vice Chairman, becoming its fifth Vice Chairman.

Although Jiang Yufei was only at the deputy section-level in Yushu City, she had already been enjoying Division-Head Level treatment after the County-to-city conversion.

After being transferred to the Municipal Womens Federation, although she was successfully promoted to the Division-Head Level—specifically a nominal Division-Head Level position—the two roles were simply not comparable.

Heping Town was now the top of the province's top ten towns. As the top leader of Heping Town and a Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Yushu City, her position's value far exceeded that of a Vice Chairman of the Municipal Womens Federation.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she had been kicked to a "cold bench."

Many Standing Committee Members and other Cadres in Yushu City were privately and publicly expressing their sense of injustice on Jiang Yufei's behalf.

Only Lin Zifeng and Jiang Yufei knew the reason behind it.

Jiang Yufei would be leaving Yushu City tomorrow. At the suggestion of many Standing Committee Members, it was proposed to hold a small farewell party for her after work, with attendance limited to the Standing Committee Members of Yushu City.

After all, Jiang Yufei's transfer this time was essentially a promotion in rank but a demotion in power. To be mindful of Jiang Yufei's feelings, Xu Minghao and the others made this special arrangement.

After work, Lin Zifeng and the other Standing Committee Members arrived one after another at the large Private Room in the Government Canteen.

Once the staff had served the food and drinks and left, closing the door behind them, Lin Zifeng raised his glass and said, “Our Municipal Party Committee's Leadership Team Members have worked together for quite some time now.

We have always been united and determined, contributing our strength to the comprehensive development of Yushu City.

Secretary Jiang Yufei, as a Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Party Secretary of Heping Town, has made indelible contributions to the development of Heping Town and Yushu City.

Tomorrow, Secretary Jiang will report to the City Level. Let us drink this glass together to thank Secretary Jiang for her painstaking efforts and contributions to the development and construction of Yushu City over the years.

We wish Secretary Jiang success in her future work and a happy, fulfilling life.”

Everyone raised their glasses in response. Jiang Yufei's eyes grew a bit red. Although this was her own choice, she still felt a deep sense of reluctance to leave the place where she had worked and lived for so long.

She held back her tears and said, “Thank you all for taking care of me in both work and life over the years.

No matter where I go in the future, I will come back to visit whenever I can find the time.

Yushu City will always be my second hometown. I wish you all smooth sailing and a bright future.

However, due to health reasons, I can only use tea instead of wine today. My apologies!”

“There's no need to apologize, Secretary Jiang. We've been friends and colleagues for many years; we all understand.

Isn't there a saying at the dinner table? 'As long as the sentiment is there, whatever you drink is wine.'”

Xu Minghao said with a smile.

The others quickly chimed in with their agreement. Only Lin Zifeng knew the real reason why Jiang Yufei wasn't drinking, so he smiled and drained his glass along with everyone else.

At the beginning of the banquet, to keep Jiang Yufei from overthinking, no one mentioned her transfer to the Municipal Womens Federation. They tried to stick to lighthearted topics.

The atmosphere at the table was relatively relaxed and pleasant!

However, Wei Ting, who was close to Jiang Yufei, felt a strong sense of injustice on her behalf.
