Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

Zheng Wei left the office to get on with his business.

They hadn't walked two steps when they ran into Zheng Yu and Yang Xiaofeng coming from the opposite direction.

"Hello, Executive Director Yang."

Zheng Wei immediately greeted him.

I'm so envious; this person will be able to move into the back office next year.

"Comrade Zheng Wei, how are you? Did you just come from the governor's office?"

Yang Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"I have something to report."

Zheng Wei nodded and quickly stepped aside, saying, "Please go ahead."

"good,"

Yang Xiaofeng turned his head and said, "Comrade Zheng Yu, you go and do your own thing. I can go in by myself. I'll make the tea myself."

"How can that be? If I let you make your own tea, the governor will scold me. Besides, I don't have anything to do right now."

Zheng Yu shook his head.

"Hey, if I said you're in trouble, then you definitely are."

Yang Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously, patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards Chu Shijun's office.

Standing there, Zheng Yu was a little confused. What did he want?

Zheng Wei, standing to the side, waved the object in his hand, but didn't show it to him. Instead, he said meaningfully, "Comrade Zheng Yu, you must work hard during this period and not let down the governor's high expectations for you."

When Zheng Yu saw the document in the other person's hand, a thought flashed through his mind: Was he about to make progress?

He immediately took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Please rest assured, Secretary-General, I have never slacked off."

"Yes, Minister Chunlin of the Organization Department also said that you are a good comrade, and everyone can see that."

Zheng Wei patted him on the shoulder and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, looked him up and down, and said, "Comrade Zheng Yu, you're 26 this year, aren't you?"

"Yeah, it was my birthday just now."

Zheng Wei smiled, narrowed his eyes, took his arm, and walked away, asking as he went, "You're 26 already, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"Not yet."

Zheng Yu's face instantly turned red.

"How can this be allowed?"

"Look at you, you're already 26, practically 27, almost 28, and nearly 29. You'll be 30 soon; marriage is a serious matter that can't be delayed."

Zheng Wei spoke earnestly,

"It's good that you put all your energy into your work, serving the governor and the people, but you also need to consider your own situation. Having a family makes things more stable. Otherwise, if your job changes in the future, you'll be even busier, and where will you find the time?"

"We've already agreed before that we both have the surname Zheng. You call me 'Uncle' in private, and I've also met your father. He asked me to take care of you, so as your uncle, I have to help you out. If I hadn't given birth to such a rascal, I wouldn't have given this opportunity to anyone else."

"Ah, how about waiting another two years, Secretary-General? I'm not ready yet..."

Zheng Yu looked like a bitter gourd.

"No, it's settled then. I'll inquire for you after get off work today. To be honest, some people have asked me about it privately these past few months, but I haven't told you. Don't worry, Xiao Zheng, as your uncle, I will definitely find you a good match."

Zheng Wei reached out and patted Zheng Yu's shoulder heavily, speaking in an unquestionable tone.

Besides Chu Shijun, Zheng Yu's father is also worth noting. He was recently promoted to the Party Secretary of a district in the capital. With some effort, he might still be able to make further moves.

Therefore, as long as Zheng Yu doesn't slip up or fall behind, his position and level won't be difficult for the other side.

His son is about to graduate, so he plans to have the two of them become sworn brothers and his father recognize a godfather, which will open up more career paths for him in the future.

So, who should we contact?

I wonder if anyone has a suitable girl.

Zheng Wei's mind flashed through a group of familiar leaders, and suddenly, one came to mind: Jiang Yuzhen, the propaganda minister.

It seems the other person has a cousin's youngest daughter who is graduating this year, right?

There's also Wu Chunlin, the organization minister, and it seems he has two relatives, though they're quite distant.

With that in mind, Zheng Wei decided to go down and inquire more carefully.

……

Meanwhile, in Chu Shijun's office.

After seeing Zheng Wei off, Zheng Yu came in to prepare tea.

He can't take it seriously when someone says no.

If someone comes in and gets a taste of it, fine; if not, they can still do whatever they want—everyone's happy.

"Governor, Vice Governor Yang, let me do it."

As soon as he walked in, he saw two people holding tea leaves, and one of them picked up a kettle and quickly ran over to take it from him.

"Hey, Governor, look at your little steward, he's afraid we'll steal his job."

Yang Xiaofeng looked at the kettle that had vanished from his hand and said helplessly.

"Hey, you two work so hard, I'm just doing these little things to help out."

Zheng Yu skillfully brewed the tea and placed it on his desk.

"Alright, if Xiao Zheng wants to do it, let him do it."

Chu Shijun shook his head and smiled, pointing to the chair opposite him, "Sit down, Comrade Xiaofeng."

After brewing the tea, Zheng Yu closed the door and left.

"Comrade Xiaofeng, do you know why I called you here?"

Chu Shijun offered him a cigarette and asked, squinting his eyes.

"Governor, I'm slow-witted, please enlighten me."

Yang Xiaofeng leaned over to light a cigarette, saying honestly as he did so.

"You rascal!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Shijun pointed with an annoyed expression.

"You're pretending to be confused, but I can't pretend to be confused."

"During this period, some comrades have been running around a lot, spreading rumors about job changes, going everywhere to pay visits to influential figures and canvass for votes. You know about this, right?"

I've heard a little about it.

Yang Xiaofeng knew perfectly well that he frequently visited Chu Shijun's office.

"Have you heard a little about it?"

Chu Shijun glanced at him. "You've been coming here quite a few times lately, haven't you?"

Seeing the smirk on his face, he continued, "I called you here not to criticize you. Everyone knows the reasons behind the behavior of some comrades; it happens everywhere, from top to bottom."

"But sometimes, there has to be a limit."

Chu Shijun raised his hand and tapped the desk in front of him.

"The provincial party committee can decide on the next job position."

"However, here we are only making suggestions. Whether the higher-ups consider them or not is their own decision. Who gets promoted and who gets demoted depends on their work ability and their ideological development. I think you should understand this."

"Governor, please rest assured, I understand, I will reflect on my actions."

Yang Xiaofeng quickly replied.

"So you've already apologized? You really won't come here again?"

"That won't do. You have to oversee things at work."

"Hehe, alright, that's enough joking around."

Chu Shijun pushed the documents on the right side of the table over to him, "I'll find you something to do. As the executive director, you need to take on more responsibilities."

"Shall I take a look now?"

"See?"

Yang Xiaofeng immediately picked up the document and looked through it. After a quick glance, he was delighted and took a big gulp of tea.

"Governor, this is a wonderful surprise!"

The documents mainly contain important economic work, with some related to Party and government construction.

As the executive director, he had handled these matters before, but Chu Shijun was the main person in charge of the oversight.

Making him worry now is just asking him to actually "do things".

Furthermore, this document, along with the list of recommended candidates for the position released by the General Office, further supports this.

He felt more confident.

The duties of the executive vice governor will be changed to deputy secretary, vice governor, and acting governor. After two or three months, a selection process will be conducted, and the titles of acting and vice governor will be removed, and the position will be in place.

"surprise?"

"If you don't do a good job, I'll turn your surprise into a shock!"
