Chapter 704 The Two Elders

Li Yancheng went inside to wash up, leaving Zhu Yongyang alone in the corridor under the eaves.

will not!

These two words were spoken by Li Yancheng before he entered the room, and he said them with absolute certainty. At the time, Old Zhu did not have much of a reaction, but was happy to know that his old classmate would not leave Beijing.

But it didn't take long for him to realize that something was wrong.

Just now you said you didn't know you were going to be reassigned, but now you're so sure you won't be transferred to another place?
This is wrong!

After pondering for a while, Old Zhu figured it out. It seemed that his old classmate wasn't unaware, but rather couldn't say.

That makes sense when you think about it. It's something that's not even close to being decided yet, so how can you just make random pronouncements?

But where will my old classmate go next?

As for Zhu Yongyang, he wished that Li Yancheng could stay in his current position forever, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to stay in that position indefinitely.

The fact that the human resources department was going to conduct a formal investigation into Li Yancheng was no secret to some people with ulterior motives.

Personnel changes at this level can be quite impactful, especially for such important positions.

As everyone knows, Li Yancheng was only promoted half a level in March. In a short period of time, let alone a short period of time, he could be jumping around in his current position for seven or eight years.

Therefore, the possibility of being promoted again within a few years is extremely slim. So this assessment is very likely a lateral adjustment to a different position in order to accumulate experience in multiple roles.

So where he will go next, and who will take over his current position, have become matters of great concern to many people.

It's unlikely that he'll be transferred to the headquarters of another system. After all, Li Yancheng only came from the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters four years ago. Although he was just the deputy secretary-general of the Social Affairs Bureau's General Office at that time, this kind of position that connects the upper and lower levels is the most challenging and training position.

Everyone understands that if you want a broader career prospect, then leaving a "departmental" role and moving to a "general" role is the best choice.

Considering his current rank, his next step will likely be to serve as a deputy leader in a provincial government or as a deputy director in the organization department.

In this way, by breaking free from the constraints of "line-based" work, the future prospects are clearly limitless.

Li Yancheng went from the Social Affairs Bureau to the Public Security Bureau. Both of these departments are highly specialized, but the scope of work-related contact is very narrow.

The ceiling in this kind of organization is just there; no matter how hard you work, that's all you'll ever get.

Of course, this "ceiling" is something that 99.99% of people can only dream of but never reach.

But for Li Yancheng, it's only a step away.

Therefore, those who are interested know very well that leaving is Li Yancheng's inevitable next step.

But where should we jump to? And when should we jump?
Several big question marks appeared in many people's minds.

These people did not know that Li Yancheng would not leave Beijing.
It's not just others who have questions in their minds; the person involved also has questions in their own mind.

Although both Director Duan and his father-in-law wanted him to go to the Supervisory Commission, everything was still uncertain until the appointment document was issued.

In fact, he didn't care about this matter. Just like Director Duan said last time, doing the current task well was the most important thing.

As National Day approaches, he is getting busier and busier with work.

Being able to steal a day to rest amidst a busy schedule is already a real blessing.

"Old Luo, sending Yan Cheng from the Public Security Bureau to the Supervisory Commission, isn't that a good choice?"

"It's not exactly a good choice, but it's the best choice right now."

Under the big tree in the small courtyard, Old Master Luo and Su Xiaotong's father, Old Master Su, sat facing each other. Old Master Luo poured tea for his old friend while talking.

"The best choice!" Upon hearing Elder Luo's words, Elder Su frowned and was about to ask further when he suddenly raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, and swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

But in that instant, he turned and asked, "But Yan Cheng has only been in his current position for less than half a year. Lao Luo, I don't quite understand why you're in such a hurry."

"It's not that I'm in a hurry," Old Master Luo said, putting down his teapot and waving his hand. "It was actually Old Duan who brought it up this time."

"Old Duan?" Old Master Su's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"You mean, it's Old Duan who wants to transfer Yan Cheng to the Beijing Municipal Supervisory Commission?"

"That's right. Although it was Lao Zhao who proposed the personnel adjustment at the meeting that day, it was actually Lao Duan who made the suggestion to him."

The "Old Zhao" that Grandpa Luo mentioned is the head of the supervisory committee above.

Last month, after obtaining Mr. Luo's consent, Director Duan had a chat with Director Zhao of the Supervisory Commission.

Since Director Che of the Beijing Municipal Supervisory Commission is retiring next year, although it seems like there is still a year left, the organization has actually been considering candidates for his successor for some time now.

Director Zhao agreed to the candidate proposed by Director Duan, namely Li Yancheng, without much consideration.

A few years earlier, before Li Yancheng was transferred from the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, Director Zhao had talked to Luo Lao about transferring him to the Supervisory Commission.

At the time, Luo Lao did not agree because Director Zhao wanted Li Yancheng to take up a leadership position in a department at the level of director-general in the supervisory commission, which would be impossible for him to handle independently.

When Director Zhao heard that Director Duan from Beijing wanted to transfer someone he had long admired into the supervisory commission system—even if it wasn't a high-ranking position, it was still a good one—he readily agreed.

Not only did he agree readily, but he was also exceptionally efficient, proactively proposing a candidate for this personnel adjustment at a meeting in early August.

That's why the human resources department is now conducting its assessment.

"I see. No wonder Old Zhao brought up that personnel issue out of the blue. The root of the problem lies with Old Duan." Old Su nodded in sudden realization.

"Luo, what are Yan Cheng's own thoughts?"

"Yan Cheng had no objections. Lao Duan talked to him first and asked for his opinion before discussing it with me, and finally he found Lao Zhao."

"Now that you mention it, I understand. Old Zhao suddenly brought it up at the meeting that day, which caught me completely off guard."

"I originally wanted to let you know in advance, but you were doing research in the field during that time and only came back the day before the meeting. I think this is just a suggestion, so I didn't contact you again."

"Where are the cases of illegal and disorderly conduct that Yan Cheng's side got involved in since the gun theft case?"

Grandpa Su had already gone to those western provinces to conduct research in mid-July. He only read briefings about other cases that arose from the gun theft case during his journey and was not particularly clear about the specifics.
