Power and Wealth

Chapter 1690

Morning.

Before nine o'clock.

After leaving Director Zhu Weiye's office in the Eighth Inspection Supervisory Office, Dong Xuebing closed the door behind him, clenched his fist tightly, and was relieved. Although Director Zhu mentioned uncertainty, Dong Xuebing knew the matter had already been settled. Director Zhu was going through the formalities of routine conversation with him. With his mother-in-law revealing her connections and the Fourth Grand Uncle of Huilan being the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Dong Xuebing's nomination had already been sent up yesterday. So, there was no suspense in this matter. It was just announcing the appointment.

Finally settled.

What a joyous occasion.

Dong Xuebing felt this was the best news he had heard in months. He was only twenty-six years old, yet he was about to take on a substantive position at the department head level. Even people like Xie Huilan, who came from a prestigious family background, and Fang Wenping, who also came from a prestigious family, didn't achieve what Dong Xuebing had achieved at the age of twenty-six. Dong Xuebing had every reason to be proud of himself. A child from an ordinary family, from a background even less privileged than the average family, had reached this point. It was almost a miracle. In the past, no one would have ever imagined Dong Xuebing reaching his current position, not even Dong Xuebing himself. But step by step, Dong Xuebing had made it happen. Now, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Substantive position.

Division Chief level.

Others might not dare dream of these positions in their lifetime, but Dong Xuebing was about to secure them in just four years. This was indeed a bit exaggerated.

Second Division office area.

When Dong Xuebing entered, it wasn't yet time to start work. Everyone in the office area was chatting and joking around. Perhaps such an atmosphere could exist only in their Eighth Supervisory Office, Second Division. The relationships among colleagues were excellent, without any barriers. Ultimately, this was thanks to Director Yin Cheng'an. Only such a kind person could cultivate such an atmosphere in the office. This kind of atmosphere was truly rare in an organization where interests and disputes were becoming increasingly severe.

"Ah."

" Director Dong."

"You're back."

Everyone was a bit surprised.

Dong Xuebing smiled. "I'm back. Starting today, I'm back in my official position."

Han Fei giggled. "Congratulations! You must treat us to dinner tonight."

"Hehe. It's not such a big deal. Why treat anyone?" Dong Xuebing chuckled. "Well, is Director Yin and Director Chen here?"

"Not yet," Sun Zhaobang replied with a smile.

Dong Xuebing originally wanted to report directly to Director Yin Cheng'an, but since he hadn't arrived yet, Dong Xuebing decided against it. Instead, he sat in the office and asked, "What are we talking about?"

Han Fei blinked. "Isn't it about the organizational reform? We've been discussing it for over half a month now. You must have heard about it. I heard that our Inspection Room will add two new departments, the Ninth and Tenth Offices. We're discussing personnel adjustments."

Dong Xuebing had told Han Fei about this, making her the first person he informed of the exact news. But at this moment, Han Fei pretended not to know, demonstrating some political savvy. Otherwise, if she were to say that Dong Xuebing was the first to tell her, it might cause some trouble. Others might think, "Why did you tell Han Fei but not us? Isn't that biased?" Han Fei was a good-looking female colleague, which could lead to further complications. Han Fei avoided this situation and handled it well. Despite her usual lively demeanor, she knew how to handle things. It hadn't been for nothing that she had worked in the agency for so many years.

Dong Xuebing nodded. "I've also heard about it."

He Zhou asked, "Director Dong, who do you think will be appointed as the directors of the Ninth and Tenth Offices?"

"Where would I know about that," Dong Xuebing said, "But it's either promoting a deputy director from one of the inspection rooms or transferring a director from elsewhere, then promoting the first deputy over there." A mature department might recruit from below or unrelated departments, but stability comes first for two newly established departments, especially in a place like the Discipline Inspection Commission. They would look for comrades with many years of experience in this field to lead them, particularly for the position of deputy director.

Han Fei asked, "Do you think our Eighth Room will be affected?"

"Who would be affected? It's unlikely," He Zhou said, "Our director definitely won't be."

Han Fei bit her lip. "I mean the Eighth Supervisory Office as a whole, like whether the personnel and departments below will be adjusted to raise a level."

Sun Zhaobang said, "There won't be many cases of raising a level. If there are adjustments, there will be ninety percent transfers to support the new departments."

He Zhou nodded. "But there's still a chance for you, Xiao Fei."

Han Fei rolled her eyes. "I wish! But nobody's looking for me, nobody's recommending me. Where's the chance?"

He Zhou looked at her. "If you were to go up, you'd only be a deputy Division Chief level inspector. Nothing more, even a deputy Division Chief from one of the lower departments, could barely suffice. But it's a bit risky. You've only been promoted to the Division Chief level for a few years. Furthermore, stability is the primary consideration when establishing new departments. In such a situation, they would usually appoint the head first and then consult the head's opinion to make adjustments within a certain range. Now, the director of the room and the department heads below haven't been decided yet so nobody will look for you."

Han Fei seemed quite anxious. "Sigh, they should hurry up and decide. This kind of uncertainty is annoying. I don't even know who to talk to right now."

Others were also very concerned about this reform.

In the late afternoon, amidst the atmosphere of close attention from everyone, the personnel adjustments for the main leaders of the Ninth Supervisory Inspection Office, the Tenth Supervisory Inspection Office Supervisory Inspection Office, and the two merged departments gradually came down. Of course, it was only the adjustments and appointments of the main leaders, including the Offices’ director, deputy directors, and department heads. Other deputy positions and several inspectors and clerks were temporarily not appointed.

Zhu Wei notified Dong Xuebing over the phone.

Dong Xuebing was appointed the director of the Second Division’s Ninth Supervisory Inspection Office of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission.

While the adjustments of others didn't stir much, Dong Xuebing's job adjustment caused quite a stir within the unit. Even many leaders of the Discipline Inspection Commission couldn't have predicted it.

It's just that Dong Xuebing is too young.

He just took office as a Deputy Division Chief level inspector. It's been only three or four months. He's taken a big leap to become the director of an Supervisory Inspection Office. If Dong Xuebing were to be promoted normally in the Eighth Supervisory Inspection Office, he must be the Deputy Chief of the Second Office before becoming the Chief.

There are several steps involved.

Not to mention that Dong Xuebing had previously been disciplined administratively and caused quite a lot of trouble.
