Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 703 Communication
The old man from the Dong family retired a few years ago due to health reasons. At the beginning of the month, Li Yancheng visited the old man during a routine check-up of the veteran comrades.

Thanks to his treatment, the old man has recovered quite well. As long as there are no major accidents, he should be able to live for another three to five years.

On the evening of the same day he finished his examination, Dong Yaowu, who was working in another city, called to inquire about his father's health.

To be honest, Li Yancheng and the eldest son of the Dong family had a pretty good personal relationship; they were the kind of people who could invite each other to dinner. But now that they've reached their level, it's not like just anyone can sit at the same table with them for a meal.

Dong Yaowen, the fourth son of the Dong family, works in the personnel department above. It's quite possible that the news leaked from him.

but……

Looking at Zhu Yongyang, Li Yancheng raised an eyebrow. This old classmate is quite different now.

Dong Yaowen is not one of those spoiled brats. He has a very good reputation in the industry and never does anything borderline or illegal. He also rarely associates with shady people.

The fact that Zhu Yongyang could not only sit at the same table with him for a meal, but also hear such news from him, shows that the two had a fairly good relationship.

While there are practically no secrets when it comes to personnel changes, it depends on the person; not just anyone can hear rumors about such things.

"I only helped him a few times." As he spoke, Zhu Yongyang lit another cigarette for himself. This guy's smoking habit is unusually strong now; he smokes at least two packs a day.

"Old Dong is now in the logistics department of the personnel department above. His department is responsible for the monthly labor insurance and the holiday gifts issued during festivals."

You know, some things are difficult to handle. I've helped him a few times, and that's how our relationship got pretty good over time.

Li Yancheng immediately understood why Dong Laosi had asked Zhu Yongyang to help him obtain those scarce supplies.

Compared to other people active in this market, Lao Zhu's background is actually quite clean.

He built his career almost entirely on his own, without any particularly messy background. Apart from those relationships maintained by mutual interests, the only person who could be considered his background was Li Yancheng.

Because of his relatively simple background, people who also don't want to get involved in messy things are willing to seek him out.

Dong Yaowen, the fourth son of the Dong family, was one of these people.

"What did he say? Did he just tell you directly that I was going to make changes?"

"No, no, no, how could he be so direct? You politicians, how could you speak so bluntly? He was being rather subtle, but the gist of it was that you might be about to be involved, and the process has already begun."

At Li Yancheng's level, job changes are no longer something that can be done simply by someone nodding their head. Someone has to nominate him, and after the nomination, the personnel department above has to conduct an investigation. After the investigation is completed, the results are reported up, and then the meeting will vote on the results.

This process will take at least several months to half a year to complete.

Of course, this refers to the normal process; if it's an emergency personnel arrangement, that's another story.

If Li Yancheng is really going to be reassigned next year, it's perfectly normal for the personnel department to start the evaluation process now.

He narrowed his eyes upon hearing Zhu Yongyang's words.

The process has already begun; he really didn't know that.

"I really don't know about what you're talking about."

"Don't know?" Zhu Yongyang was taken aback. "Are you kidding me? How could you not know about a job reassignment?"

"Why would I lie to you about something like this?" Li Yancheng shrugged and spread his hands.

"I really do not know."

He wasn't lying about that; he genuinely didn't know about the initial procedures. As for the rest, he couldn't say.

Seeing his genuine expression, Old Zhu scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered.

In his view, how could the person involved not know that their job position was going to be adjusted?

Seeing his old classmate's simple and honest appearance, Li Yancheng smiled and patted his arm.

"Alright, don't overthink it. The fact that the HR department has started the process doesn't mean anything. It's normal to evaluate relevant cadres; it doesn't prove anything at all."

"You mean that the HR department's assessment doesn't necessarily mean that the person being assessed will be reassigned or promoted?" Zhu Yongyang asked with some doubt.

"Promotion? What are you thinking? I was just promoted half a grade less than half a year ago. Even if there were to be a promotion, it wouldn't be me. As for a job transfer..."

I've been with the Public Security Bureau for four years now, and I've gone through almost every important position, from deputy director and chief of staff to executive deputy and then back to deputy director. It's not impossible for me to be reassigned to a position at the same level to gain more work experience.

At this point, Li Yancheng waved his hand and said, "But this is not something that can be done in a short time. At the very least, it is impossible within the year."

Rotation of key positions is very common. Currently, the regulations requiring key positions to be held in different locations are still quite vague. Some people work in one place for decades, experiencing almost every key position in that place. This situation is still very common in this era.

A major factor contributing to this situation is the inconvenience of transportation. Leaders also have families and are not alone. In an era where a train journey of 1,000 kilometers takes more than 20 hours, being in a different place is a very painful experience.

It's impossible to stay in one place for two years, bring your family here, and then be transferred to another place in two years, bringing your family over again.

It's fine if the family members are unemployed, but what about those who are employed? Will they also be transferred around? That's clearly inappropriate.

Decades later, with highways, high-speed trains, and airplanes, distance will no longer be an issue.

"Will they transfer you to another place? Like Luo Yang and Su Xiaotong?"

Zhu Yongyang understood now. It was impossible for his old classmate to be promoted in the short term, but it was very likely that he would be reassigned to a different job.

The thought of his old classmate being transferred out of Beijing made Old Zhu's heart clench involuntarily.

Although he would never use Li Yancheng's name to do anything reckless, there is still a big difference between having him around and not having him around.

Although he has kept a low profile over the years, he has still offended quite a few people, and even more people are envious of him.

However, these people were all wary of Li Yancheng, so no one dared to do anything underhanded to Lao Zhu. But if he were transferred out of Beijing, even if they didn't dare to do anything to Lao Zhu openly, it would still be easy for them to trip him up behind his back.

"will not"
