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

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, filled with heated classroom debates and countless late-night case analyses.

The provincial Party School's training program for young and middle-aged cadres held its final graduation ceremony.

Inside the auditorium, the atmosphere was solemn yet filled with restlessness. Fifty trainees, dressed in matching dark suits and wearing the Party School badge on their chests, sat upright. But beneath their seemingly calm surface, an irrepressible excitement and anticipation surged.

Because everyone knows that today is not just about graduation.

It was also... the day the results were announced.

The provincial Party committee's organization department has been watching their performance over the past three months. Who will rise to prominence and who will remain stagnant? Today, the final answer will be revealed.

Everyone's eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, were drawn to the young figure sitting in the very center of the first row.

Liu Ming.

In these three months, he has completely won over this group of proud and arrogant young people with his unparalleled strength and personal charm.

Every "economic seminar" he organized was packed to capacity, with even professors from the Party School coming to listen in. Every "breakthrough" idea he proposed was incisive and enlightening to those "regional officials" who were overwhelmed by various difficult problems at the grassroots level.

He has become the undisputed "spiritual leader" of this training class of young and middle-aged cadres.

He was also the person on this "promotion list" who was the least surprising in everyone's mind.

……

"Now, I announce that, after deliberation and decision by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the following notice is hereby issued regarding the appointment and removal of some trainees in this training program for young and middle-aged cadres."

On the dais, Han Wenzheng, the executive deputy minister of the provincial party committee's organization department, opened the red folder that could determine the fate of countless people.

The entire auditorium fell into an instant silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

"...Comrade Zhang Dapao, formerly the Director of the Investment Promotion Bureau of Linjiang City, is now appointed as the Vice Mayor of Linjiang City (at the deputy provincial level)..."

"Whoosh—!"

Zhang Dapao, sitting in the audience, was so excited that his face turned red. He suddenly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to everyone around him, looking even more excited than Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination.

"...Comrade Li Jianjun, formerly the Director of the Donghai City Planning Bureau, is now appointed as..."

One name after another was read out.

The person whose name is called feels as if they have heard heavenly music, and their joy is evident on their face.

Those whose names weren't called looked gloomy and forced a smile.

The ups and downs of officialdom, the joys and sorrows of some, are vividly displayed at this moment.

Zhao Ruilong sat in the corner, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

He knew that he wasn't on the list of those to be promoted this time.

Not only did he fail to become class monitor, but during those three months, he was also constantly overshadowed by Liu Ming's brilliance, becoming the most marginalized person in the class.

This was an utter disgrace to him, who was always proud and arrogant!

He looked at Liu Ming, who remained calm throughout, as if none of this concerned him. The jealousy and resentment in his eyes were almost solidified!

"……at last."

Han Wenzheng cleared his throat, and the entire auditorium fell into absolute silence once again.

Everyone knew that the grand finale was about to begin.

Han Wenzheng picked up the last appointment document and looked at the excessively young name on it. His usually calm eyes couldn't help but reveal a complex mix of admiration and... amazement.

He took a deep breath and, in an unprecedentedly solemn voice, read:

"Comrade Liu Ming!"

Liu Ming slowly stood up.

"Formerly the Party Working Committee Secretary and Management Committee Director of Ningzhou High-tech Zone (at the level of a full-fledged department head)."

"During his time at school, he studied diligently and achieved excellent grades. In his past work, he has demonstrated outstanding performance and abilities."

"Especially in the economic development and anti-corruption work of Ningzhou High-tech Zone, they have saved our province from huge economic losses and set a shining example for young cadres!"

"Nominated personally by Comrade Chu Tiankuo, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee!"

"The Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee unanimously approved!"

"It's decided now!"

Han Wenzheng's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in everyone's ears!

"—Liu Ming is promoted exceptionally, to the position of Deputy Director of the Development and Reform Commission of Jiangnan Province!"

"Administrative rank: Deputy Director-General level!"

"boom--!!!"

If the promotion of Zhang Dapao and others was merely like throwing a few pebbles into a calm lake, then...

So now, Han Wenzheng's words have directly detonated a...deep-sea nuclear bomb!

The entire auditorium erupted in chaos!

Everyone was stunned!

They were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape, as if they had been collectively frozen in place!

Deputy Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission?

Deputy director-general level?

What kind of international joke is this?

They acknowledged that Liu Ming was amazing, a prodigy.

They also anticipated that he would definitely be promoted this time.

But they never expected this!

It rose so fast! So fiercely! So...unreasonably!

That's the Provincial Development and Reform Commission!

It is the "leading boss" of all economic sectors in the province! It is a truly powerful and crucial department!

As for the "deputy director," although it has the word "deputy" in it, it is a real provincial-level cadre! It is a regional official who is on equal footing with most of the people present!

A 28-year-old deputy director-level official!

This is fucking...

Not to mention Jiangnan Province, even looking at the whole country, this is an unprecedented and unheard-of miracle in officialdom!

"Holy shit..." Zhang Dapao looked at Liu Ming beside him, who remained calm as if he hadn't been appointed by anyone else. He opened his mouth for a long time, but finally managed to utter only two words: "...monster..."

Zhao Ruilong was struck dumb!

He felt as if someone had smashed him hard on the top of his head with an invisible hammer!

His proud family background and his meticulous scheming seemed utterly fragile and laughable in the face of this man who seemed to have cheat codes!

He watched as the young man slowly walked onto the stage, drawing gazes of awe and admiration from everyone present.

he knows.

The gap between myself and him.

It's no longer just a class monitor's distance.

Rather, it was an insurmountable chasm that he might never be able to cross in his lifetime!

……

on the rostrum.

Liu Ming took the heavy appointment document from Han Wenzheng's hand.

His face remained calm and composed.

It was as if all of this was within his expectations.

He looked at the faces below the stage, filled with shock and complex emotions, and then looked out the window at the vast blue sky.

he knows.

From this moment on...

He finally got that ticket to stand at the same table as Luo Binwang, that old dog, and compete head-on...

Provincial Development and Reform Commission.

The place where his father fought and died back then.

He's back now.

Not as an Avenger.

Instead, he acted as a judge of a higher order!

"Luo Binwang".

He silently repeated the name in his heart.

"Your doomsday."

"arrive."
