Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Organization Department of Ningzhou Municipal Committee, Minister's Office.

This is an office located on the top floor of the main building of the administrative center. It has a wide view, but the curtains are always half drawn, giving it an air of unfathomable solemnity.

The air was filled with a faint smell of tobacco and the aroma of old paper.

Liu Ming sat upright on the dark brown leather sofa, his expression calm. Opposite him sat Sun Hong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Ningzhou Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department.

This is a real municipal party committee leader, a "heavenly official" who holds the reins of the promotion of cadres throughout the city.

Unlike the perfunctory and reprimanding Director Zhang last time, this time it was a real "conversation".

"Little Liu, try this tea."

Sun Hong personally poured Liu Ming a cup of tea, his movements unhurried, his face bearing a smile that was both gentle and enigmatic.

"This is Maojian tea that I brought from my hometown. I wouldn't normally give it to just anyone."

"Thank you, Minister."

Liu Ming took the teacup with both hands, took a small sip, and said, "The tea is good, and the water is good too."

Whether tea is good or not depends on whether the person drinking it is calm or not.

Sun Hong put down the teapot, his gaze passing over the swirling tea steam and landing on Liu Ming's excessively young face.

He was examining it.

Over the past month, rumors about this young man have been circulating widely, even among members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

First, he threw out a draft at the Youth League Congress, making some startling remarks.

Next, they joined forces with the Public Security Bureau to sweep away the chaos around the school, and even the director of the Education Bureau was implicated.

Then came that financial war that shocked the entire city. Although it was ostensibly orchestrated by the Nangong Group, someone at Sun Hong's level could easily see who was behind it all.

He is courageous, resourceful, skillful, and has a powerful background.

This is hardly an idle member of the Youth League Committee.

This is clearly a peerless sword that hasn't been fully drawn yet!

"How have you been feeling during your time in the Youth League Committee?" Sun Hong asked casually.

"That's good." Liu Ming put down her teacup, smiled, and said, "Reading the newspaper, drinking tea, and occasionally chatting with young comrades about ideals is quite healthy."

"Health preservation?"

Sun Hong chuckled and pointed at Liu Ming.

"You little brat, are you playing dumb with me?"

"Your 'Campus Food Safety Supervision' has caused a huge uproar, and the mayor's hotline has been overwhelmed with calls; your 'Youth Entrepreneurship Fund' has reportedly even attracted venture capital from the province."

"You call this health preservation?"

Sun Hong's expression suddenly turned serious, and his smile vanished. In that instant, an aura of authority from someone who had long held a superior position was released without reservation.

"The provincial party secretary specifically mentioned you at the Standing Committee meeting."

"The Party Secretary said, 'Good steel should be used where it's needed most.' To have a capable and skilled general like you stuck in that dead-end department of the Youth League Committee doing menial tasks is a waste of talent and a dereliction of duty by the Municipal Party Committee!"

Liu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Provincial Party Secretary.

That high-ranking official in Jiangnan Province, known for his "iron fist."

It seems that all my previous plans have finally caught the eye of that important person.

"You flatter me, Minister. I was just doing my duty." Liu Ming remained humble and composed.

Whether it's an overstatement or not, the organization will have its own considerations.

Sun Hong opened the drawer, took out a red-headed document, and gently placed it on the table.

"Ningzhou has developed rapidly in recent years, but it has also accumulated a lot of problems."

"In particular, some economic zones, which were originally engines of development, have now become breeding grounds for corruption and malpractice. There is overstaffing, intricate relationships, and they have even become 'private plots' for certain interest groups."

Sun Hong's voice was deep, each word like a drumbeat.

"After careful consideration, the municipal party committee decided to carry out a thorough 'removal of the poison from the bone' in these areas."

"We need a cadre who dares to take risks, dares to fight, dares to offend people, and also understands economics and has the means to open up new prospects there."

Sun Hong paused at this point.

He looked at Liu Ming with intense eyes, as if trying to see through the young man's heart.

Liu Ming met his gaze without flinching.

He knew that the real test was about to begin.

This was also the goal he set for himself when he left Qingyun County.

The Youth League Committee is just a stepping stone.

What he wanted was a real battlefield.

"Minister, please speak frankly," Liu Ming said in a steady and firm voice, "Where does the organization need me to go?"

"Great! That felt good!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Sun Hong's eyes.

He picked up the document and handed it to Liu Ming.

"This decision was made after deliberation by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee."

"You are proposed to be appointed as a member of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Ningzhou High-tech Industrial Development Zone."

"Responsible for investment promotion, administrative approvals, and... **comprehensive management of the industrial park**."

High-tech Zone!

Deputy Director of the Management Committee!

Liu Ming took the document and glanced at the appointment.

The High-tech Zone is the "heart" of Ningzhou's economy and the development zone with the highest GDP in the province. It's a place teeming with businesses and bustling with capital flows, truly a place overflowing with wealth.

But precisely because of this, the water there is ten thousand times deeper than that of the Youth League Committee!

Various connections, second-generation rich, and even provincial interests are deeply rooted there.

The director of the management committee is at the level of a full-fledged division chief, and the deputy director is at the level of a deputy division chief.

In other words, this transfer is not just a change of job.

Even more so... **upgraded**!

From section chief to deputy division chief!

A powerful deputy division-level cadre at the age of 26!

This is an extremely rare occurrence in the history of Ningzhou!

"How is it? Are you scared?" Sun Hong observed Liu Ming's reaction.

"Afraid?"

Liu Ming closed the file, a playful smile curving her lips.

"Minister, you may not know me very well."

"I'm afraid of everything, except big trouble."

"The water in the High-tech Zone is deep, which is perfect, since I can swim."

"Hahahaha!" Sun Hong laughed loudly, stood up, and took the initiative to extend his hand to Liu Ming.

"Great! I love your wild side!"

"Go for it! Just go for it!"

"The municipal party committee is your strongest support! The provincial party secretary is watching you, and so am I!"

"Stir up this stagnant pool in the High-tech Zone!"

Liu Ming reached out and gave it a firm shake.

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

……

I walked out of the Organization Department building.

The sunlight outside was still blinding.

Liu Ming held the heavy appointment document in her hand and took a deep breath of the sweltering air.

High-tech Zone.

Deputy Director of the Management Committee.

This is not just a position, but also a powerful tool and a ticket to enter a higher level of competition.

He knew that Sun Hong's words were half encouragement and half warning.

"Comprehensive management".

These four words mean that he is going to offend people, cut off their livelihoods, and get rid of those parasites that are feeding on the body of the High-tech Zone.

This is a piece of fat meat, but also a pit of fire.

If one is not careful, they will be burned to ashes.

"Buzz—"

My phone vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Nangong Yao: 【I heard you're going to the High-tech Zone? Congratulations, Director Liu! That's my territory, I'll have to rely on you for support in the future~】

It was followed by a playful emoji.

Liu Ming smiled and replied, "I wouldn't call it taking care of you, just don't cause me any trouble."

Put your phone away.

He looked up and gazed at the southeastern part of the city, at the area filled with tall buildings and a modern atmosphere.

That's the High-tech Zone.

This is also the new battlefield he is about to enter.

"Let's go."

Liu Ming said to herself.

"Let's go see just how fierce the ghosts in this high-tech zone really are."
