The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Chen Ai and Zhang Gao sat at Chen Shi's house for a while before getting up and leaving to rest at their hotel.

With smiles on their faces, the two greeted the director of the coal bureau, making the process of obtaining the permits much easier.

Chen Shi escorted them to the door before returning.

The next day at work, I received a notice from the Organization Department that I would be called in for a talk in the afternoon.

Chen Shi arrived at the Organization Department in the afternoon, where he was received by Huang Xin, the deputy director of the Organization Department.

Huang Xin was transferred from the municipal party committee along with Qin Xiaoming, the head of the organization department. Huang Xin was previously the head of the comprehensive section of the municipal party committee office, and her uncle was Huang Ao, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee.

She is 29 years old this year, one year older than Chen Shi. She is a sexy beauty with many suitors, but she doesn't like any of them and is still single.

When Huang Xin first met Chen Shi, she was attracted by his handsomeness. She had seen many handsome men, but she had never seen anyone as handsome as Chen Shi with such distinctive features.

Huang Xin's beauty also attracted Chen Shi's attention. The two stared at each other for a full minute before Chen Shi came to his senses. Could there really be a vixen? This woman was too attractive to men.

With a smile, he said, "I am Chen Shi, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. I received a notice from the Organization Department this morning and came here this afternoon to report to Minister Qin."

Huang Xin turned her gaze away from Chen Shi: "I am Huang Xin, the newly appointed deputy minister of the Organization Department. Minister Qin is waiting in the conference room. I will take you there."

Chen Shi followed Huang Xin to the conference room.

Qin Xiaoming stood up to greet him: "Director Chen."

Chen Shi quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Qin Xiaoming: "Minister Qin"

Chen Shi sat down, and Huang Xin poured him a cup of tea.

There were three people in the meeting room from the Organization Department: Minister Qin Xiaoming, Deputy Minister Huang Xin, and another staff member from the Organization Department who was responsible for taking notes on the conversation.

Qin Xiaoming looked at Huang Xin: "Director Chen, let me introduce you. This is Huang Xin, the beautiful deputy director of our Organization Department. She was transferred down from the Municipal Party Committee with me."

Chen Shi stood up and shook hands with Huang Xin. He felt that Huang Xin's hand was very soft. Chen Shi couldn't help but take a few more glances. She had fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs. If she were to become a star, she would be prettier than any female star in the entertainment industry.

"Minister Huang, hello, please take care of me in the future."

Huang Xin withdrew her hand and said softly, "Director Chen, we just introduced ourselves, there's no need for this."

Chen Shi looked slightly embarrassed, sat back down, and the conversation officially began.

It was just a formality; the conversation lasted half an hour, and after it was over, Chen Shi shook hands with Qin Xiaoming.

"Minister Qin, I will visit the Organization Department more often in the future to report to you. The Organization Department is like a home for cadres."

Qin Xiaoming smiled and said, "Welcome Director Chen to the Organization Department."

Chen Shi glanced at Huang Xin and noticed that she was also looking at him. When she saw Chen Shi looking at her, she quickly turned away.

After leaving the Organization Department, Chen Shi couldn't stop thinking about Huang Xin. This woman was truly alluring, and he had an urge to sleep with her.

After the Lantern Festival, the government's work officially began, and major personnel adjustments were made.

Chen Shi was transferred to the Education Bureau to succeed as its director. The former director, Li Chang, retired to a less prominent position. Huang Ming was promoted to executive deputy director of the Education Bureau. Xu Ping'an and Yang Qingming were appointed deputy directors of the Public Security Bureau. Wang Haiyang was transferred to the Political Work Section to become its head. Li Li was promoted to captain of the Traffic Police Brigade, Zhang Hu to captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, and Wang Tao to captain of the Public Security Management Brigade.

Wang Jianming was promoted to director of Zhongshan Subdistrict Office, Li Hong succeeded him as secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhongshan Subdistrict Office, and Hou Xuecai, the former secretary of the Party Working Committee, stepped down to the second line.

Li Yuezhong, deputy director of the county party committee office, was transferred to Fushan Town to serve as town mayor, etc.

The appointment document came down quickly, and Chen Shi took office. First, the Public Security Bureau organized a farewell party. Song Yun and other leaders of the Public Security Bureau attended the banquet. Everyone toasted Chen Shi, and Chen Shi forced himself to drink. He got drunk and Zhang Hu and Wang Tao took him home.

The next day, Chen Shi had a farewell banquet with several close confidants. Xu Ping'an, Wang Tao, Zhang Hu, Li Li, Wang Haiyang, and Zhao Fanglin also came. Liu Feng, knowing this, also came to attend the banquet.

Since they were all friends, they were very relaxed and toasted each other.

Liu Feng took the initiative to toast Wang Tao. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Tao felt that he couldn't blame Liu Feng; it was just that he had acted too late. The two drank together and resolved their differences.

There's still a shadow in my heart, and it's hard to go back to the days when we could talk about anything.

Chen Shi was happy and drank quite a bit of wine. This time he didn't get drunk and went back to rest with the help of Liu Feng and Zhang Hu.

After resting for two days, Chen Shi officially took office at the Education Bureau.

Organization Minister Qin Xiaoming and Deputy Minister Huang Xin escorted Chen Shi and Huang Ming to their posts at the Education Bureau.

Wang Zhikai, deputy director of the Education Bureau, and Li Zhe, deputy director of the Education Bureau, led the secondary leadership team of the Education Bureau to welcome them.

The Education Bureau held a plenary meeting, where Qin Xiaoming, the Minister of Organization, announced the appointments.

Chen Shi was appointed as the Party Secretary and Director of the Education Bureau, and Huang Ming was appointed as a member of the Party Committee and Executive Deputy Director of the Education Bureau.

After the appointments were made, Chen Shi and Huang Ming gave speeches.

After the meeting, Chen Shi, along with relevant leaders from the Education Bureau, saw Qin Xiaoming and Huang Xin off.

From this moment forward, Chen Shi will be the head of the Education Bureau, and the heavy responsibility of reforming the backward education system in Chunyang County will fall on his shoulders.

After seeing Qin Xiaoming, Huang Xin, and the others off, Chen Shi suggested holding a meeting for the second-level leadership teams so that everyone could get to know each other.

Wang Zhikai was very dissatisfied with Chen Shi's arrival. Before the Spring Festival, he made efforts everywhere. In the Education Bureau, he was the most senior, having served as the deputy director for six years. It was time to remove the title of deputy. He considered all his rivals, but he never expected that Chen Shi would be the one to succeed him as director.

Wang Zhikai is over forty years old. He failed to take over as director this time, and time is running out for him. He has aged a lot in an instant.

Within the system, it's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind, and the higher you climb, the harder it becomes.

Upon hearing that Chen Shi was going to hold a meeting for the second-level leadership teams, he instructed Yang Xiaobo, the director of the Party and Government Office, to notify the relevant heads of each department to attend the meeting in the conference room.

Chen Shi sat in the center of the platform, with Huang Ming to his left, Wang Zhikai to his right, and Li Zhe sitting next to him.

The Education Bureau now has one director and three deputy directors.

Chen Shi looked at Wang Zhikai: "Director Wang, have all the members of the second-level leadership team arrived?"

Wang Zhikai looked at Yang Xiaobo, the director of the Party and Government Office, who was sitting in the first row: "Director Yang, are all the members of the second-level leadership team here?"

Yang Xiaobo stood up: "Director Chen, Director Wang, and all the members of the second-level leadership team are here, except for the head of the Educational Technology Equipment Station who is on leave."

Chen Shi looked at Yang Xiaobo: "Director Yang, you should start by introducing yourself. Today is my first time meeting everyone at the Education Bureau. Let's get to know each other and not be shy."

Yang Xiaobo nodded: "Hello, leaders. I am Yang Xiaobo, Director of the Party and Government Office."

Chen Shi gestured for him to sit down, and the middle-aged man sitting next to him stood up.

"Good morning, leaders. I am Diao Kuan, deputy director of the Party and Government Office."

Chen Shi introduced each department in detail and took notes on the three key departments and their respective heads.

Yang Xiaobo, Director of the Party and Government Office, and Diao Kuan, Deputy Director.

Guan Ping, head of the Personnel and Faculty Affairs Section; Li Jing, deputy head of the section.

Finance Department, headed by Ren Changlin, deputy headed by Zheng Yaoguang.

I can't remember the other departments all at once; I'll get to know them gradually.
