Chapter 2 Transfer Student

  Zhang Qingyun smiled and said sincerely, "Originally, this class has already started, and joining the class at this time is a bit unreasonable. However, considering my own work ability still has some shortcomings, I think it's necessary to strengthen my studies."

  Besides, this is already the last session of the youth cadre training class this year. The purpose of organizing the youth cadre class is to strengthen the quality of young cadres. There are also tasks from above that require all young cadres in the county to participate in the training. I couldn't let myself become a scapegoat and make it difficult for the leaders because of personal reasons, could I? Principal Li, what do you think...

  Li Yong's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhang Qingyun with a serious expression, thinking to himself that this kid is not bad! How come I've never heard of him before? He's very mature politically!

  Zhang Qingyun's words really hit the nail on the head, with a 100% pass rate for young cadres training, which is also an honor. When superiors come to inspect, this is also a highlight, and it looks good when speaking out loud.

  "Alright! Little Zhang, the organization welcomes comrades who strive for progress. Personally, I have no opinion on your request. Since that's the case, I hope you can study hard in the Youth Cadre Class, earnestly grasp the spirit of our superiors, and apply what you've learned to your work in the future, so as not to disappoint the organization's expectations." Li Yong said with a hearty laugh, his encouraging sentiments evident on his face.

  Zhang Qingyun secretly smiled in his heart, this matter was finally settled. Anyway, there's nothing much to do now, and being able to join the Youth Cadre Class can increase some connections, which is also very helpful.

  Most of the people who boarded the last train with Zhang Qingyun were new civil servants, generally those who had just passed the exam last year. Zhang Qingyun even found some newcomers who had just been admitted. All Zhang Qingyun could do was smile wryly, they must have very strong connections behind them, otherwise it would not be possible to get a chance to make money so quickly.

  Zhang Qingyun had also blamed himself for not having a background, but now he doesn't think so. Having no background means being clean and innocent, and it's not necessarily beneficial to be labeled as belonging to a certain faction too early on.

  These so-called high-ranking officials' children in Yongping County, their parents are mostly deputy department or even deputy section level. Although they seemed to have an advantage at first, who can predict what will happen in the officialdom? Once you stand on the wrong team, struggling for ten or eight years is all in vain.

  Compared with his classmates, Zhang Qingyun is obviously much more mature than them. These people are still immature in politics, and some of them even have a bookish air about them. So when dealing with them, Zhang Qingyun is clearly at ease and soon integrated into the group, with not bad relationships.

  However, there were also a few who looked down on Zhang Qingyun. To these cold eyes, Zhang Qingyun just smiled and said nothing. In the officialdom, what's emphasized is subtlety and composure. If one's emotions are written all over their face, they'll be considered inferior. These young brothers still have a long way to go.

  For this young cadre training class, Zhang Qingyun did not perfunctorily go through the motions. He studied very seriously, always sitting in the front row listening to lectures, and his notes were neatly organized. He knew that this was a valuable political experience, and after many years, who would still remember that he was an alternate student? Having gone through the party school's young cadre training class means that you are a key figure being cultivated by the organization, and the organization trusts you - this is more important than anything else.

  Of course, in his spare time, Zhang Qingyun also asked teachers questions, he didn't flatter or fawn, but was straightforward and sincere, the teachers all had a good impression of him, it's clear that their evaluation of Zhang Qingyun wouldn't be bad.

  Every day after going home, Zhang Qingyun did not relax. At that time, the Internet had not yet entered thousands of households, but the county government website had already been established. Zhang Qingyun used his evening time in an internet cafe to familiarize himself with the organizational structure of various units in Yongping County.

  The county party committee, the organization department, and the county party committee office are all familiar with the resumes of these important department leaders. He also has a good grasp of the heads of other functional departments.

  Although a resume can't reveal everything, Zhang Qingyun's past life was after all from the grassroots to the company's high level. Judging a person's background and character based on their experience is his strong point. These people may have dealings with them in the future, so it's very necessary to grasp as much information as possible.

  Among all the resumes, the most eye-catching one is the newly appointed county magistrate Rong Gang. Zhang Qingyun just took a glance at his resume and was convinced that this person's background was not ordinary. A 31-year-old county magistrate is rare in today's officialdom.

  Li Gang graduated from Central South University of Agriculture, and soon after graduation, he entered the office of the Wude Municipal Committee as an officer. Less than half a year later, he was transferred to the sub-district office under the jurisdiction of Yunong District, Wude City, where he served as deputy director, then director, and finally party secretary.

  Two years later, he returned to the director of the Municipal Committee's Supervision Office. He then served as the head of the Organization Department of Yunong District, deputy district head, and deputy secretary of the district committee. In November this year, he was transferred to be the county magistrate of Yongping County, and has been in office for less than a month.

  Every step of Lei's rapid rise to power was made in accordance with the party's fastest promotion program for cadres. In just six or seven short years, he rose from an ordinary clerk to a deputy department-level position, governing a region and its people, without any deep background, which is almost impossible.

  Zhang Qingyun had a premonition that Li Gang would be a turning point in his life. Li Gang's future was absolutely not limited to being just the head of Yongping County, and entering the municipal party committee compound was only a matter of time. Now, being sent down was clearly just a way to gain experience.

  However, Zhang Qingyun was clear that Yongping County is the largest county in Wude City and also the county with the most ethnic minorities in Wude City. This place is poor, but it's easy to make achievements, so this matter is very complicated. The forces of all parties converge here, and Li Gang wants to think that making achievements in Yongping requires building his own team.

  After two years of working in the lower levels of the government, Zhang Qingyun was not very familiar with the situation in the county seat, but he had heard rumors and knew some things. The leaders of the county basically all had connections in the city, and originally this time the position of county head should have gone to Executive Vice County Head Wu Dezhi, but Li Gang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and others couldn't help but have opinions about it.

  Wu De's boss is said to be the city's vice mayor, Gao. Vice Mayor Gao used to serve as the party secretary of Yongping County, where Wu De was one of his trusted subordinates. Wu De's deputy county magistrate was also appointed by Vice Mayor Gao.

  Lijiang has arrived, can Vice Mayor Gao's faction just let it go?

  Given such a complex situation, Lijiang must be careful everywhere if he wants to establish his own team, and Zhang Qingyun's current clean body also gives him the possibility of promotion.

  But what made Zhang Qingyun disheartened was that his current position was too low, and even the township head and the secretary of the township party committee didn't bother to take a look at him. How could he possibly get in touch with Li Gang? It seemed that he could only take things one step at a time, making steady progress, accumulating bit by bit, and most importantly, maintaining a good relationship with his direct supervisor.

  Unconsciously, Zhang Qingyun has been in the Youth Cadre Class for a month. The training of the Youth Cadre Class is a total of two months. Due to his absence for a period of time earlier, it won't be long before his youth cadre training ends.

  However, today Zhang Qingyun did not go to training, he asked for leave from school and rushed to the Xihu Hotel.

  It's already the end of the year, and the county's economic work conference is about to be held. Zhang Qingyun called back to Lizi Ping Township to learn that Township Mayor Hu Lie and Secretary Wan Guoshu had already led people to check in at Xihu Hotel.
