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

"Comrade Nuojun has been a steady and clear leader in Tianhe District. He is good at making progress and improving quality while maintaining stability. He has done a good job in regional coordination and balanced urban and rural development. He has done a good job in grassroots governance. He has a solid work style and a good reputation. He should continue to maintain this and make great achievements in the future."

Xu Nuojun nodded solemnly, "Secretary Chu, you have a knack for managing the bureau and a heart for nurturing people. I have learned a lot from you. I will always continue to follow the work approach of seeking progress while maintaining stability, focus on the development of Tianhe, safeguard the bottom line at the grassroots level, and live up to your cultivation."

Chu Shijun continued talking about the other people,

"Comrade Li Yuan, you have been serving as the Minister of the Provincial Propaganda Department for a full year. You have upheld the main position of public opinion and promoted a new social atmosphere. Your work has been subtle, understated, and solid. You have been adept at managing public opinion and uniting people's hearts. You have a solid foundation and a proper sense of proportion. Comrade Hu Xue recommended you to take over. This is a good move. You are now the youngest in the team. You need to gain more experience and learn more from the veteran comrades."

"Secretary Chu, rest assured, I will continue to safeguard the main ideological front, maintain a clean and positive public opinion and cultural environment in Xinjiang, and exchange and learn more with my comrades." Li Yuan nodded.

"Comrade Shenhe, since I arrived, you have done a good job over the past three years, from the Director of the Public Security Department to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. You have safeguarded the bottom line of safety and the overall rule of law, handled grassroots conflicts properly, enforced discipline with moderation, and governed effectively, creating a stable and orderly development environment for Baijiang. You must continue to work hard and safeguard the political and legal front."

"Secretary Chu, it's all thanks to your leadership. You always prioritize the bottom line, stability, and governance. Rest assured, I will do my job well, implement the construction of a safe and law-abiding society and grassroots governance, and safeguard the peaceful and harmonious development environment of Baijiang."

Sima Shenhe said in a deep voice, "Sigh, no one will scold me anymore."

"Look at you, how many times have I told you not to start by saying how good the leader is, how good the instructions are," Chu Shijun criticized. "If I didn't have a leader or instructions, would you not be able to do your job?"

Sima Shenhe: You're too happy too soon. Why don't you mention the others?

At this point, Chu Shijun had already started talking about other people.

"Comrade Xinghe is pragmatic and results-oriented. He strictly manages cadres and standardizes the selection and appointment of personnel, which has rectified the atmosphere and tempered the team, laying a solid foundation for the cadre ecology of the whole province."

"Comrade Tonggu is strict in enforcing discipline, impartial and incorruptible, dares to confront difficulties and rectify malpractices, and has safeguarded the red line of discipline, thus protecting the integrity and uprightness of the province."

"..."

After making his evaluations, Chu Shijun remarked with emotion: "Being an official and governing the bureau is like planting trees and creating a forest. In the past few years, we have worked together to prune the branches of good conduct, consolidate the foundation of development, and stabilize the soil of people's livelihood. We have overcome the difficulties of tackling key problems, withstood the pressure of development, and corrected some past shortcomings. Step by step, we have made the working environment in Baijiang clear, the development foundation solid, and the people's morale stable."

"I am deeply grateful to each comrade for their performance of their duties, their inclusiveness and cooperation, and their concerted efforts."

"This lateral transfer by higher authorities, involving job rotation and personnel changes, is a normal occurrence in cadre work."

Chu Shijun spoke calmly and solemnly, saying, "After I leave, the leadership team and the overall situation of the cause will continue. I hope everyone will continue to work together with one heart and one mind, always adhere to the bottom line of politics, and take people's livelihood and development as the foundation."

"In terms of development, we must avoid rushing ahead and prioritizing form over quality. The work atmosphere has improved a lot in the past two years, and we must not let it revert to its former state after I leave."

"The foundation of Baijiang has not come easily. It is the result of the hard work and perseverance of successive leadership teams. We must safeguard it, protect it, and develop it well, so that this land can remain evergreen, stable, and move steadily forward."

"Working together is a matter of fate. Seeing everyone fulfilling their duties and making steady progress is what makes me most gratified before leaving this post. We may meet again someday, and the future is bright. Although I am being transferred, I will always keep Xinjiang in my heart and care about Xinjiang. I will always wish Xinjiang long-term stability and prosperity, and I also wish all my colleagues a smooth and successful career."

……

The group chatted in the conference room for a long time before the others reluctantly left.

Meanwhile, Chu Shijun was chatting with Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhixu served tea and said, "Secretary Chu, several years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, you will be heading to Dongjiang to start a new chapter. The reason why Baijiang has been able to stay stable and make solid progress in the past few years is entirely due to your leadership, guidance, and support. We feel at ease and have a clear path forward when we follow you."

Chu Shijun picked up his teacup, smiled faintly, and said calmly, "It's all thanks to the concerted efforts of the team and your responsibility as the top government official. You bear a heavy burden in managing the province's government operations and supporting the economy; I know that."

Zhao Zhi nodded slightly, then frankly discussed his mindset and future plans, "Secretary Chu, I'd also like to take this opportunity to be frank with you today. I've reached a certain age in my current position."

"You often say that Comrade Dakang has changed a lot in his personality. I have also changed a lot and made a lot of progress by learning from you. I have calmed down and will obey the overall situation in how the organization makes arrangements for me, whether I stay in my post or adjust my position."

He paused, then said softly:

"But what I'm more concerned about is the governing style and policy ideas of the new leader. With the new secretary taking office in Baijiang, there will inevitably be a new layout, a new direction, and a new pace. As the head of the government, I need to be clear about how to position myself correctly, connect with the new ideas, and do a good job of adapting."

"I'm not afraid to take responsibility or endure hardship, but I'm afraid that during this transition period, my personal thinking might be misaligned, causing a loss of rhythm and a loss of sense of proportion, which would delay the overall development of Baijiang and betray the foundation laid by the team over the past few years. I would like to ask the old leader to give me a frank answer?"

Zhao Zhi was also anxious. (Actually, it was this reader who was anxious.)

He had asked Chu Shijun privately before, but had not given a clear answer.

Now that Chu Shijun is about to leave, he needs to make plans as soon as possible.

It's obvious he can't take over, and he's been in that position for four years already; it's time to consider his next move.

If he really does go to applaud, then he can relax, work diligently, and do what he's supposed to do.

But if he could be transferred out and promoted even slightly, he would have to work hard, show more of his abilities, and achieve some results in order to secure a good place for himself in the future.

Chu Shijun remained silent for a moment upon hearing this. He roughly understood Zhao Zhi's thoughts, and then slowly said, "I am quite familiar with the new comrade. I won't mention who he is for now. He is a steady and upright person who handles affairs. He doesn't engage in any radical changes and values ​​team unity the most."

"The core of the administration is to adjust the structure and optimize the pace on the basis of consolidating the legacy, and to seek long-term development. It will not completely overturn the existing layout. You have been deeply involved in Xinjiang for many years, with a solid foundation and a steady style. You are the pragmatic backbone that the new team needs most. There is no problem of adaptation gap or awkward position. You can rest assured about this."
