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

"OK."

In the corridor, Ye Wentao hung up the phone, put it back in his pocket, turned around and walked into the conference room behind him, and sat down in his seat.

At this moment, the conference room was packed, with rows of people sitting below.

Chu Shijun, dressed in dark green, was giving a speech on the platform above.

"Just now, the orders for appointment and removal from higher authorities and the district have been officially issued. This adjustment of cadres is an important decision made by higher authorities after comprehensive consideration and careful research, based on the overall situation and the long-term development of the district. Everyone must resolutely support and absolutely obey it."

"During their tenure, Gu Zhennan and several other veteran colleagues worked diligently at the front lines, focusing on ideological development, team spirit, and collaboration. They devoted a great deal of effort to our training, team building, and grassroots stability, making tangible contributions."

"We all remember this important task entrusted to us by the organization. We hope that you will continue to shine in your new positions and achieve even greater success."

'Pa pa pa pa'

As soon as Chu Shijun finished speaking, the entire audience burst into applause.

Of course, the smiles on Gu Zhennan and the others' faces looked somewhat forced.

Gu Zhennan, in particular, although he had expected this, he really did not expect that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.

At this moment, he was already cursing his good-for-nothing cousin, Gu Wangbei, to the bone in his mind.

The situation has not been very optimistic in the past few years, and they are constantly jumping around and can't distinguish between interests.

He even blamed his own uncle, Gu Yucai.

Of the three children, the eldest is quite promising.

The second son is a scoundrel; he still bears the surname Liu and is involved in some kind of brokerage business. (As mentioned earlier)

The third brother, Gu Wangbei, didn't learn anything good; instead, he learned to steal and do other petty things.

That's great. It was already very difficult for him to keep his job here; he had put in a lot of effort beforehand.

He also realized that Chu Shijun hadn't immediately intended to transfer him last time, and now he'd offended him.

He had painstakingly built up his network of connections and was just thinking about how to rebuild his glory in the future when someone destroyed it all in one fell swoop.

One here, one there, promotions in name only, demotions in reality—they've lost all the confidence to start over.

Why bother?

His mind was racing.

Chu Shijun continued, "The newly appointed comrades are politically steadfast, experienced, and have a strong sense of the overall situation. They have been trained in multiple positions, and their abilities and work style have stood the test. I hope you will quickly adapt to your roles, familiarize yourselves with all tasks as soon as possible, find your place, integrate into the team, and work together wholeheartedly."

"At the same time, I would also like to take this opportunity to make a few requests to my comrades..."

After explaining each point, Chu Shijun gave a summary.

"As the first secretary of Nanbuqu, I will definitely take the lead in fulfilling my duties, uniting the team, and taking responsibility."

"I also hope that all comrades present will perform their duties and responsibilities, think in the same direction, work together, and pool their efforts to push all aspects of construction to a new level, and never let down the trust and expectations of our superiors."

"This meeting regarding the appointment and removal of cadres is now adjourned."

Chu Shijun got up and left, glancing at Gu Zhennan as he went.

……

A moment later, downstairs.

"Secretary Chu."

Gu Zhennan naturally understood the meaning behind that look and immediately followed.

"Um, Comrade Zhennan, want to chat for a bit?"

"It would be my great honor."

Chu Shijun gestured for the others behind him to stay, and then led Gu Zhennan outside.

"What are your thoughts on this job reassignment, Comrade Zhennan?"

Lighting a cigarette, Chu Shijun directly posed a pointed question.

Gu Zhennan's heart skipped a beat, and he replied cautiously, "Secretary Chu, I will fully obey all arrangements made by my superiors. I will promptly complete the handover of my work, go to my new post to familiarize myself with the work, and get to know it as soon as possible."

"Hehe, Comrade Zhennan, relax."

Chu Shijun smiled faintly.

"I transferred you as soon as I arrived without consulting you, so it's understandable that Comrade Zhennan might have some feelings about it."

"I wouldn't dare, Secretary Chu, you flatter me. Obeying orders is my duty, and I have absolutely no other intentions."

Gu Zhennan said in a deep voice, his heart growing heavier.

This relentless pursuit is not a good thing.

I don't care if they have other ideas or not.

Chu Shijun stopped and turned to face him directly.

"Comrade Zhennan, there are some things I need to remind you of."

"Please speak, Zhennan will definitely remember."

Gu Zhennan's expression turned solemn.

"One of the factors behind your job change is something you know in your heart, so I won't mention it. The most important reason is still for the sake of the overall situation, which is to rotate employees. Your family is right here, and according to the principle, you should have been transferred long ago. I don't care about the reasons before, but please take this transfer seriously."

Chu Shijun said in a deep voice,

"In addition, I have reviewed all your materials, especially your work over the past few years. I won't go into details, but now that you're in a new place and a new position, please adopt the right attitude."

It was another display of a proper attitude, but the underlying meaning was nothing more than some subtle actions that everyone else was well aware of.

Once in a new position, all past transgressions will be forgiven; otherwise, there will be further developments.

Gu Zhennan nodded obediently.

"Finally, Comrade Zhennan, you must be clear about what happened to Gu Wangbei and the others. Be clear about your identity and responsibilities. Keep your mouth shut about things you shouldn't do. Don't ruin the glory of our ancestors. We admire our predecessors, but we will never allow pests to breed under their legacy. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, Secretary Chu, I will be able to hand over my work within three days and take up my new post as soon as possible." Gu Zhennan said nothing more and saluted.

"Okay, let's go back."

Chu Shijun nodded slightly, turned around, and strode towards the car.

Ye Wentao opened the car door, waited for Chu Shijun to sit down, and then got into the passenger seat. The convoy then drove away.

"Secretary, just now..."

In the car, he was preparing to report to Chu Shijun about the phone call Zhao Dagong had just made.

"Wait a minute."

Chu Shijun raised his hand to interrupt, took out his phone, and made a call.

"Lord Shi?"

The call was answered quickly, and a loud voice came through.

"Brother Yuanshan, it's me."

Chu Shijun smiled.

"Did I disturb you?"

"Hey, I'm not as busy as you. I just went to inspect the training and I'm on my way back now."

Cheng Yuanshan spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"What's wrong? Does Chu Weiyuan have any instructions for calling?"

"As for instructions, it's not my place to give them. But I can get Aunt Huang and Uncle Cheng to give you instructions not to go home for the New Year."

Chu Shijun leaned back in his chair, looking quite content.

"Alright, enough with the idle chatter. I called you because there's something I need to discuss. Someone from Nanbuqu wants to transfer you there, you know?"

"You mean Gu Zhennan? I know him, I've already received the notification."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuanshan immediately understood the purpose of the call and replied, "You want me to give this new comrade more responsibilities?"

"Hehe, you decide. Comrade Zhennan has outstanding work ability and some of his viewpoints are very good. I think we can put them into practice," Chu Shijun said with a smile.

"I understand now."
