In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Director Gao was very direct.

What he said was very realistic; it reflected what everyone present was thinking.

Now that everyone's in the government office, who wouldn't want a promotion?

Coming to this unit and working under the leadership naturally leads to a wide network of contacts. Even without working under the leadership, one will still come into contact with many people from other units. In terms of both perspective and experience, this is something that most units cannot match.

This place is known for its constant turnover of employees, unlike some other organizations where many people stay in one unit their entire lives.

As for the government office, it's not difficult to promote a batch of people every three to five years. Even if they don't get promoted, it will eventually be their turn in seven or eight years, and then they will be assigned a deputy position.

This is the advantage of government offices; everyone present is well aware of it.

Of course, unless there are problems with the personnel file and identity, promotion is not an issue.

However, even though everyone knew this, no one brought it up in front of so many people at a meeting; it was all discussed privately.

But Director Gao clearly wants to clarify some things today.

"It's okay, there's no need to hide your thoughts. Not only do you want to take things to the next level, but I also want to take things to the next level. The desire to improve is understandable."

"However, if you only think about pursuing progress but do things perfunctorily, are unwilling to put in the effort, and do not work hard, then even if the government office has a lot of promotion opportunities, I cannot recommend you, because you work in the government office and represent the image of the government office, or even the image of the county government."

"We promoted you, but you spent years in government offices, knowing nothing and learning nothing. What's the point of going out then?"

Director Gao picked up his teacup, took a sip, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, I can understand everyone. I haven't been in the government office for very long either, but I think you all know me quite well now."

"Let's talk behind closed doors today, so let's be frank and open with each other. I don't want to criticize anyone directly, but you can decide for yourselves what's more important and what to do next."

"There are some rumors, I won't say what they are, you all know what they are. All I can tell you is that you don't need to pay attention to these rumors, and it's not your place to interfere. You just need to do your job well."

"Remember this, this is the county government office. If you're going to treat even the county government leaders so casually, what else do you want?"

"I hope you will all take the work of the government office seriously and focus on it without distraction. If you do a good job, I will say one thing: I will take charge of the selection of candidates and the number of nominees. Of course, I hope that as many people as possible will leave our office and that you will all take up leadership positions as soon as possible."

"To put it bluntly, the more people you promote, the more leaders you get, even the top positions or deputy county heads, the more face I have to show off."

"Not only do I feel proud, but I also benefit from it."

"Now that you've become leaders, and I'm your former leader, and you're all cadres who rose through my ranks, you won't refuse me if I need your help with anything, whether it's official or personal, right?"

"Also, my colleagues don't need to be envious. As long as you meet the requirements, you will be recommended. And when your colleagues go out and become leaders, it will be much more convenient for you to get things done."

"Our government office has only a small number of people, so I hope everyone can unite and do their job well. Only in this way can things get better and better."

Director Gao really spoke behind closed doors today.

These words, though extremely simple, are the truth.

With so many people being promoted in the government office, whether they're deputy section chiefs or section chiefs, whether they're going to a deputy position or a full position, if they want to get something done in the future, they'll find that others can't find a way to do it. But since they're your former colleagues, it's always easier for them to ask for help and get things done than for others.

It was a trivial matter, so I took care of it without much trouble, since we were former colleagues and spent a lot of time together.

Important and difficult matters will at least be given an explanation, unlike others who don't know who to ask for help from.

These are the advantages and benefits.

But these advantages and benefits were brought to light by Director Gao today.

However, after saying nice things, there will naturally be some less pleasant things to say.

"Comrades, I've said everything I needed to say. You can think about it yourselves."

"But I can't just say nice things to you. I also have some less pleasant things to say to you."

"I have my own rules for being a person and doing things. If you treat me well, work hard, and bring me honor, I will be completely open with you. No matter what the problem is, you can come to me. I will do my best to help with what I can, and I will try to help with what I can't. If I really can't help, then don't blame me."

"But if anyone continues to neglect their duties, fails to work properly, or even tarnishes the reputation of the government office, then, I'm sorry, they'll have to go back to where they came from."

"The government office doesn't welcome people like that."

"Alright, that's all I'll say. It's all just idle talk, but I think you understand what I mean."

After Director Gao finished speaking, he looked at the others, and the other directors also spoke up one after another. Without exception, they all supported Director Gao's decision, believing that what he said was very good and that he said things that other leaders would not say.

It could even be considered a promise.

The directors and deputy directors all expressed that they could contact them if needed, but the condition was the same as Director Gao's: to work hard.

Only when the government office as a whole is doing well, and the leadership team is doing well, can everyone else do well. Otherwise, if things are not good at the top, how can things be good at the bottom?

The following meeting did not involve much criticism of anyone; everything that needed to be said had been clearly stated.

With the announcement of the meeting's adjournment, the meeting was effectively over.

Chen Jingcheng arrived at Director Gao's office.

Director Gao asked Chen Jingcheng to sit down, and after processing two documents himself, he looked at Chen Jingcheng and smiled, "Jingcheng, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingcheng nodded.

To be honest, I am not used to it, but it's not that I'm unhappy or that I don't want to sit in that position.

Rather, given his current situation, if he were a deputy section chief, concurrently serving in the General Affairs Section and the Supervision Office, even if he weren't the deputy director of the government office, it wouldn't really matter if he sat in that seventh vacant position.

The problem is that, let alone being a deputy section chief, he's just a newcomer in the government office. Under these circumstances, it's indeed somewhat inappropriate for him to be in that position.

But if Director Gao insists that he sit down, he will not refuse.

If you don't even dare to sit in a seat, what will you dare to fight for in the future?

"Director Gao, I am a little unaccustomed to it, but if you need me to sit in that position, then I will."

Director Gao smiled and said, "Once the Supervision Office is established, you will definitely be given the position of deputy section chief as its director."

"No one can find fault with that."

"Of course, as I said before, you still need to achieve some results before you can be promoted to deputy section chief."

"After all, this is also to shut others up. Of course, if you don't care, it's fine. But I think you also want to achieve something so that you can be promoted openly and honestly."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me, do you have any recommendations for the Inspection Office?"
