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

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

For Ningzhou High-tech Zone, these short ninety days have been like a dramatic "rebirth".

Under the iron-fisted management of Liu Ming, the "acting director," the once lax and inefficient "nursing home" has been transformed into a highly efficient and disciplined "combat unit."

The "extortion, bribery, and buck-passing" that used to give business owners so much trouble have completely disappeared. In their place are "one-stop service" and "nanny-style care".

The most obvious changes are reflected in the economic data.

—The GDP growth rate of the High-tech Zone reached an astonishing 15% this quarter!

—The total amount of investment attracted increased by 300% year-on-year!

—More than 10,000 new jobs have been created in the park!

These dazzling statistics were like resounding slaps to the faces of those who had once questioned Liu Ming and were waiting to see him fail!

As it turns out, this young man is not only good at "flipping the table," but also at "putting on a grand show"!

He is not only a "Victorious Fighting Buddha", but also a real "God of Wealth"!

Thus, Liu Ming served as the "acting" director of the management committee for a full three months.

A formal appointment document, which everyone had been eagerly anticipating yet felt was perfectly natural, was finally issued from the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department.

……

A general meeting of all cadres of Ningzhou High-tech Zone.

It was the same auditorium, and the same group of people.

But the atmosphere was completely different from the meeting three months ago when Wang Dawei was taken away, which was filled with fear and oppression.

Everyone's face was filled with genuine excitement and anticipation!

On the dais, the municipal party secretary, Feng Jiang, personally graced the occasion!

Mayor Lu Chen and Sun Hong, Minister of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, were both present!

This is a more grand affair than the appointment of a deputy mayor!

"...After deliberation by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and approval by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee..."

Minister Sun Hong personally chaired the meeting. He looked at the appointment document in his hand, his voice loud and impassioned!

"...Comrade Liu Ming, during her tenure as acting director of the High-tech Zone Management Committee, demonstrated outstanding performance and achieved remarkable results! Not only did she drastically rectify the work style of cadres and reshape the political environment of the park, but she also successfully introduced the 'Bora Group' multi-billion-yuan project with her exceptional economic talent and international vision, and resolved a series of historical issues such as the 'Jinxiu Tiandi' unfinished building project, making significant contributions to the economic development of our city!"

"In light of this, the Municipal Party Committee has made a decision!"

Minister Sun Hong paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room before finally settling on the calm young man sitting in the first row below the stage.

He emphasized his words, enunciating each one clearly:

"Liu Ming is hereby officially appointed as the Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Ningzhou High-tech Industrial Development Zone!"

"Administrative rank: Division Chief!"

"boom--!!!"

Thunderous applause instantly filled the entire auditorium!

The applause was no longer out of politeness or fear.

Rather, it's heartfelt support and...admiration!

At the level of a full-fledged department head!

A person with real power!

A 27-year-old, a top-ranking official at the division level!

This is unprecedented in the entire history of officialdom in Jiangnan Province!

Liu Ming has once again created a legend that countless people can only dream of!

……

Amidst thunderous applause.

Liu Ming slowly stood up.

He straightened his ordinary Zhongshan suit and walked with steady steps onto the podium, which symbolized the highest power in the High-tech Zone.

Unlike the others, he did not first express his gratitude to the leaders.

He simply took the microphone, turned to face the hundreds of pairs of burning eyes below the stage, and bowed deeply.

"Thanks."

His voice, though soft, was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the microphone.

"Thank you everyone for your trust and support over the past three months."

"I, Liu Ming, have no merit or ability to sit in this position."

"This honor does not belong to me personally."

"It belongs to everyone in our High-tech Zone who worked overtime with me, stayed up all night with me, and fought tooth and nail for a common goal during these three months!"

He didn't utter any grand words.

No, there's no such thing as making empty promises.

He simply and sincerely attributed this tremendous achievement to everyone present.

That instant.

Below the stage, countless young cadres who had been "tortured" by him for the past three months had tears in their eyes.

They felt that the hardships and exhaustion of the past three months were worth it!

……

The inauguration ceremony ended quickly.

However, Liu Ming was kept behind by the provincial party secretary and Mayor Lu Chen.

"Little Liu, not bad, you're starting to look like a leader."

In the secretary's office, Feng Jiang personally brewed a cup of tea for Liu Ming, his admiration undisguised.

"Thank you for the compliment, Secretary."

"However," Feng Jiang changed the subject, his eyes becoming somewhat meaningful, "now that you've been promoted, the burden will be even heavier."

"Although Li Jianguo has fallen, he has cultivated connections in the city and province for so many years, and his network of relationships is still intact."

"That Luo Binwang has mentioned Ningzhou's name more than once at provincial party committee meetings recently."

They say that in pursuit of GDP, we have launched a "campaign-style" anti-corruption campaign, which has damaged the business environment.

Mayor Lu Chen, who was also standing nearby, added, "Yes, Xiao Ming. You are a 'star' in Ningzhou now, but in the eyes of some people in the province, you are a 'nail' that must be pulled out."

"Next, they will definitely try every means to trip you up."

"You need to be mentally prepared."

The two top city leaders were working in unison.

It seems to be a reminder.

In reality, it was also a test.

Test his attitude when faced with pressure from higher levels.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming smiled.

He put down his teacup, looked at the two "allies" in front of him, who were both teachers and friends, and his eyes were calm yet firm.

"Secretary, Mayor."

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

"If they want to play, I'll play with them and have a good time."

"I'm just worried..."

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat playful.

"...I'm afraid of them, I can't afford to play this game."

……

That afternoon.

Liu Ming officially moved into the office that once belonged to Wang Dawei, located on the top floor of the management committee building, the office of the top leader.

The first thing he did was not to change the furniture or the secretary.

Instead, Chen Momo had the banner, which was presented by the people of the south of the city and read "Evil Buster, People's Blessing Star," hang in the most conspicuous place in the office.

Then, standing in front of the window of his office, which overlooked the entire eastern part of Ningzhou, he dialed a number he hadn't dialed in a long time.

"Feed? Wanqing?"

"it's me."

On the other end of the phone came Xi Wanqing's voice, still cool and aloof, yet carrying a hint of barely suppressed joy.

"Congratulations, Secretary Liu..."

"Same to you." Liu Ming smiled. "How's it going? Is everything going smoothly in Qingyun County?"

"Smoothly." Xi Wanqing's voice carried a hint of pride. "The team you left behind is very capable. The land acquisition work for the highway has been completed. Construction can officially begin next month."

"That's good."

"And you?" Xi Wanqing countered, "Is the water deep over in Ningzhou?"

"Deep." Liu Ming looked out the window at the endless steel forest, her eyes becoming profound.

"However, I have already learned to swim."

"Moreover, I also plan to catch a few real big fish in this deep sea."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, Xi Wan-qing's gentle voice came through, carrying a hint of worry yet full of trust.

"be safe."

"Um."

hang up the phone.

Liu Ming stood by the window, motionless for a long time.

The sunlight stretched his shadow long.

That figure was no longer the frail one it was when it first arrived.

Instead, it is filled with a sense of power that is in control of everything.

Twenty-seven years old.

At the level of a full-fledged department head.

They hold absolute power over Ningzhou's economic engine.

Behind this is the strong support of the municipal party secretary and mayor.

He has Nangong Yao and Xi Wanqing by his side, watching over and helping him.

Hidden in the shadows are two more cards: "Dragon Fang" and "Black Dragon," the trump cards.

At this moment, Liu Ming has already begun to show the characteristics of a "warlord" in Ningzhou's political arena!

He became the most dazzling, and also the most... dangerous, supernova in the entire political arena of Ningzhou, and even the entire Jiangnan Province!
