Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2950 Unexpected ending
The transfer order clearly stated: "After careful consideration, it has been decided to appoint Comrade Yifei as the Deputy Commander of the Corps, placing her among the members of the Corps' leadership team, to assist Commander-in-Chief Comrade Ye Qianqian in her work."

Comrade Liu Junken, the former commander of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, was transferred to the position of the second-in-command in Northern Xinjiang Province, where he partnered with Comrade Ayijiang (Yang Geyong's eldest daughter), the top leader.

The positions of the mayor and other officials in the military reclamation city will be filled by the current executive vice mayor of the military reclamation city.

It was also clearly stated that, in order to maintain the uniqueness and stability of the development of the military reclamation city, the main leaders of the military reclamation city will, in principle, be promoted from among the outstanding cadres within the military reclamation city.

This result left everyone speechless!
Not only was his resignation not approved, but he was given an unprecedented promotion! He was directly promoted from the top leader of the military reclamation city (at the level of a department director) to the deputy commander of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (at the level of a deputy minister).

This is not just a leap in rank, but also entry into the core decision-making level of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and even the entire Northwest region.

Moreover, pairing her with Ye Qianqian was clearly a deliberate choice, taking into full account their familiarity and rapport, which would facilitate the work.

The pairing of Liu Junken and Ayijiang is a powerful alliance that will benefit the overall development of northern Xinjiang province.

Most importantly, the internal promotion mechanism for cadres in the military reclamation city has been clarified. This undoubtedly gives the military reclamation city the greatest autonomy and is the best response and affirmation to Yifei's long-standing concerns and efforts!

When Yifei received the transfer order, she was completely stunned.

She looked at it several times, confirming that the official document and the bright red seal were not a hallucination. After the initial shock came a surge of complex emotions—

Unbelievable, deeply moved, relieved, and a little apprehensive about shouldering even greater responsibility.

It turns out that her superiors and the organization had never doubted her loyalty and integrity! They clearly saw her contributions and her abilities, and they also understood her situation and concerns.

Instead of simply approving or trying to retain her, they used a more intelligent and decisive approach, giving her the greatest trust and a platform!
This is not only an affirmation of her personally, but also a high recognition and protection of the military reclamation city model, the Ye family, and all those who have contributed to the Corps!

Upon hearing the news, Ye Yuze laughed heartily and exclaimed "Great!" three times, immediately deciding that the whole family must have a proper celebration that evening.

Yu'e wept with joy, embracing Yifei and repeatedly saying:
"I knew it! The organization is sensible! My daughter is so outstanding, how could they possibly let you go!"

A long-lost, extremely gratified smile appeared on Grandpa Ye Wancheng's face as he murmured, "This move was brilliant!"

Ye Feng called from across the ocean, his voice filled with obvious excitement and pride:

"Yifei, that's wonderful! I knew it, gold shines wherever it is! The Corps Headquarters, this is the perfect place for you!"

He even proactively suggested, "Once the situation here stabilizes, I'll go back to visit more often. Or... if you need, I can adjust my focus accordingly."

These words reveal a rare positive attitude towards family reunion.

After a brief moment of surprise, the cadres and masses in the military reclamation city erupted in jubilation and support.

Yifei's promotion is well-deserved! It is not only her honor, but also the honor of the entire military reclamation city!

The establishment of the practice of "internal promotion" gave all the fighters in the military reclamation city a sense of reassurance.

After the initial excitement and elation, Yifei quickly calmed down. She knew that the burden on her shoulders had become even heavier.

As the deputy commander of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, she will be in charge of more macro-level work, involving multiple aspects such as the economy, people's livelihood, ethnic unity, border defense and stability maintenance, which requires her to plan and promote with a broader vision and a higher strategic perspective.

Before leaving her post, she walked for a long time in the Junken City Square. Not long ago, the solemnity of the military parade and the jubilation of ethnic unity celebrations had filled the air there. She seemed to see again the gratified smile on the face of the elderly Wei Quanyou.

Hearing the joyful songs and dances of children from all ethnic groups, smelling the tempting aromas from the food corridor... all of this will be what she will need to protect and promote with all her might in her future work.

The handover went exceptionally smoothly. The new leader was a capable assistant whom she had personally cultivated in the military reclamation city. He had a deep affection for the city and was highly competent, so Yifei had complete confidence in him.

On the day he went to report to the headquarters of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a simple yet warm send-off ceremony was held in the military reclamation city.

Many people who came spontaneously to see her off, especially those from various ethnic groups whom she had helped, held hada scarves and flower hats, reluctant to part with her.

"Secretary Yifei, come back and visit often!"

"Commander, the Corps Headquarters should also remember our Military Reclamation City!"

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely build the military reclamation city even better!"

The heartfelt calls brought tears to Yifei's eyes several times. She fought back her tears and shook hands and embraced each of the leaders and people who came to see her off.

The car slowly started, driving away from the military reclamation city to which she had poured countless efforts. Looking at the city's silhouette gleaming in the morning sun through the rearview mirror, Yifei's heart was filled with reluctance, but even more so with an unprecedented determination and strength.

Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Corps, Ye Qianqian personally greeted her in front of the office building.

Two women, both from the same military reclamation city and equally capable and decisive, met on a higher platform. They clasped hands tightly, smiled at each other, and understood everything without saying a word.

"Welcome home, Comrade Yifei." Ye Qianqian smiled brightly. "From now on, we sisters will have to shoulder even heavier responsibilities."

"Sister Qianqian, I will definitely do my best to cooperate with your work." Yifei solemnly promised.

The new office has a wide view, overlooking most of the city.

Yifei stood by the window, not having much time to immerse herself in the feelings of being in a new environment. The table was already piled high with documents she needed to familiarize herself with and topics to be discussed.

She took a deep breath, sat down at her desk, and opened the first document—a draft plan for promoting the high-quality development of the new energy industry in the entire Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps region, which naturally involved relevant technical cooperation with the Warrior Group.

This time, she no longer needed to hesitate or avoid any appearance of impropriety. She could openly and honestly assess, promote, and make decisions based on the overall development of the entire production and construction corps. She picked up her pen, her expression focused and resolute.

That evening, Yifei returned to the accommodation arranged for her by the organization, a simple yet cozy apartment.

She sent Ye Feng a message, briefly letting him know she was safe and that she had already started her new job.

Ye Feng quickly replied with a picture of himself, Yuan Fang (who appeared to be helping with documents), and their child (a digitally composited "family portrait"), along with the following caption:

"We are all so proud of you. Everything is fine at home, so don't worry. Once you've settled down, I'll bring the children back to see you."

Upon seeing this message, Yifei felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Although they were thousands of miles apart and their relationship was complicated, at this moment, she felt a long-lost sense of support from her family.

She walked to the window and gazed at the dazzling lights outside. This was a bigger stage, and also a greater responsibility.

She recalled the moving formations at the military parade, the words of the elderly Wei Quanyou, "Great, truly great," the jubilant scene of people of all ethnic groups singing and dancing in the square, and the fireworks that lit up the night sky with the words "The spirit of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps will shine forever"... The baton of history was passed to her in an unexpected way, and from an even higher starting point.

She is no longer the military reclamation city commander who felt constrained by her identity, but has become one of the inheritors of the spirit of the Corps and one of the important drafters of its development blueprint.

"Where we come from, and where we are going." The symbolism of the August 1st Spirit takes on a completely new meaning at this moment.

Yifei's eyes were clear and firm. She knew that the story of the military reclamation city continued, and the legend of the production and construction corps would never end.

And she, Yifei, will use her wisdom and hard work to write a new chapter that belongs to her and to this great era in this broader world.

The spirit represented by that faded old military uniform will forever guide her and all members of the Corps, like the brightest star in the night sky, toward a brighter and more glorious future.

Outside the window, the sky is filled with stars, reflecting the city lights, as if foreshadowing the start of a new journey full of hope and challenges.

Yifei's days at the Corps headquarters were like a clockwork mechanism, running precisely and at high speed.

The position of deputy general manager is responsible for economic affairs, development and reform, ethnic affairs, and some science, education, culture and health work. It is a large-scale and heavy task, far more macro and complex than when he was in the military reclamation city.

The lights in her office often stay on until late at night.

As the top leader, Ye Qianqian focused on the overall situation and strategy, and gave Yifei full trust and support.

The two were partners, knew each other well, and worked together very well.

Ye Qianqian's decisiveness and Yi Fei's composure and meticulousness complement each other perfectly. Staff members at the Corps headquarters privately say that the two female leaders work together with exceptionally high efficiency.

The first major challenge that Yifei took on was the draft plan for promoting the high-quality development of the new energy industry in the entire Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps region.

This is not only crucial for the industrial upgrading of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, but also a matter of great concern to the entire Corps.

In the past, when she was in the military reclamation city, she needed to avoid suspicion. Now, standing at the height of the overall situation of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, she can roll up her sleeves and openly conduct research and promote it.

At least, Ye Mao, Ye's brother-in-law, had promoted this project before, and even combined new energy with desertification control, achieving good results.

But that was just an experiment and it wasn't carried out on a large scale. Yifei, on the other hand, started her work based on Ye Mao's successful experience.

She organized several expert seminars, invited many relevant companies, including Warrior Energy, to participate in the discussions, and conducted in-depth research on the existing industrial base and resource endowment of various divisions and cities of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.

She discovered that the development of the new energy industry within the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps was unbalanced. Some divisions and cities blindly launched projects, while others lacked technical and market support, posing risks of redundant construction and waste of resources.

While the Warrior Group is technologically advanced, its large size and high technical barriers sometimes make it difficult for some other divisions and cities to connect and integrate with it when cooperating with other units within the Corps.

At a special meeting of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps chaired by Ye Qianqian, Yifei systematically reported her research findings and thoughts.

"Distinguished leaders and comrades," Yifei's voice was clear and steady. A thick stack of documents lay before her, and her gaze swept over each member present.

"The new energy industry is the future direction of development, and we must seize the opportunity. However, at present, there are problems such as being scattered, small-scale, disorganized, and lacking smooth connections."

"I suggest that the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) should take the lead in establishing the 'XPCC New Energy Industry Development Alliance' to integrate resources from various divisions and cities, and to plan and layout in a unified manner to avoid internal friction."

"At the same time, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps will establish a new energy industry guidance fund to focus on supporting key technology breakthroughs and demonstration application projects."

She paused, then emphasized: "For companies like the Warrior Group that possess core technologies, we should not only actively introduce cooperation, but also consider how to better localize and popularize their technologies, thereby driving the overall industrial chain improvement of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, rather than creating new technological barriers."

We can encourage them to establish mixed-ownership companies with enterprises in various divisions and cities, or to build technology-sharing platforms and export management and standards.

This proposal is both insightful and practical, especially regarding the cooperation model for the soldiers' group. It not only affirms their leading position but also proposes a cooperation path that is more conducive to the overall development of the Corps, breaking away from the previous pattern of either complete reliance or deliberate avoidance.

Ye Qianqian first expressed her support: "Comrade Yifei's suggestion is excellent, with a high perspective and innovative thinking. When developing industries, we should not only look at the gains and losses of individual enterprises, but also at their driving effect on the economic and social development of the entire Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps."

"The Warriors Group is an enterprise that originated from the military reclamation city. It has the responsibility and the ability to make greater contributions to the development of the entire Corps. I think the idea of ​​this alliance and fund is feasible."

Other leaders echoed this view, believing it to be an effective way to break the current predicament in the development of new energy.

The meeting approved Yifei's plan in principle and asked her to take the lead in its implementation.

The news caused quite a stir when it reached the soldiers' group.

Ye Yuze said to Yifei on the phone, "Daughter, your move is brilliant! You used our efforts without letting us keep everything to ourselves, and you even forced us to share our best technology. Good, this is how you build a great business!"

Ye Feng also sent a message, indicating that Warrior Energy would fully cooperate with the Corps' new strategy and had begun to study specific plans for technology sharing and mixed ownership cooperation.

Yifei felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. She was no longer a local official bound by her status, but a decision-maker who could truly use her wisdom and power to promote regional development.

This approach of "establishing rules and building platforms" is far more sophisticated and effective than getting bogged down in specific projects in the past.

However, challenges followed one after another. Just as the preparations for the New Energy Alliance were in full swing, a sudden incident involving ethnic relations tested Yifei's wisdom and sense of responsibility.

In a remote regiment farm in northern Xinjiang, a dispute arose between a production and construction corps company and a neighboring Uyghur village over water allocation. The two sides became agitated, and hundreds of people gathered, creating a tense situation.

Although local officials quickly intervened and brought the situation under control, the underlying estrangement and resentment were not eliminated.

Ye Qianqian took this matter very seriously and said to Yifei, "If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect the overall situation of national unity. Yifei, you are in charge of ethnic affairs, so go there personally and make sure to resolve the problem thoroughly and eliminate any potential risks."

Without the slightest hesitation, Yifei immediately led her colleagues from relevant departments, traveling light and simply, to the regiment where the incident occurred. She didn't go directly to the company headquarters for a report, but instead went first to the Uyghur village.

In early summer, the grapevines in the village began to climb the trellis, and the apricot trees were laden with green fruit.

Yifei had her entourage wait at the village entrance, while she, accompanied only by a translator, entered the home of Abdul, the most respected elder in the village.

The old man was initially wary, but seeing Yifei's sincere attitude, without any airs of officialdom, and even greeting him in simple Uyghur, his expression gradually softened.

Yifei sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), drinking the milk tea offered by the old man, and patiently listening to his story.

The old man talked about the village's water shortage, his dissatisfaction with some of the irrigation methods used by the Production and Construction Corps, and also about the fond memories of mutual assistance between the two sides in the past.

Afterwards, Yifei visited several ordinary villagers and listened to their voices.

She discovered that the root of the problem was not just the current water allocation, but also involved deeper reasons such as the dilapidated water facilities and the lack of an effective communication mechanism between the two parties.
