Chapter 106: Public Examination and Selection

  Wu Cunhai found Zhou Zichuan beside the boat and knocked on the side, and Zhou Zichuan immediately understood his meaning. As the county party secretary coming to the local government, he needed the support of Wu Cunhai, a local strongman, so he had to consider Wu's request.

  After comprehensive consideration, Zhu Zi Chuan took out four formal department-level quotas for examination and selection. The specific work will be implemented by the county party committee organization department. For the time being, the selected positions are not determined, only indicating that they are formal department-level leadership positions. The conditions are relatively relaxed, but the educational background requirements are higher, requiring a bachelor's degree.

  Only a few meet the undergraduate requirements, and other conditions are very loose. Both Wu Dong and Ye Pingyu meet the requirements, although Wu Dong's undergraduate diploma is from a party school, as long as he has one, it's okay.

  Wu Zhenquan's heart sank as soon as he heard the news. Although he met the qualifications for promotion, there was one condition that he couldn't meet - his educational background would hold him back. Although the county hadn't explicitly stated whether the selection was for the position of Grass Ridge Township head or not, if it were, then his current position as township head would be in jeopardy.

  After the registration screening, there were nine people who met the requirements. The number of registered people is not many, and they are all relatively young people. Because older people generally have lower educational backgrounds, it seems like a "carrot recruitment" to many people, otherwise why set such high conditions?

  Ye Pingyu certainly met the qualifications for the exam and also made serious preparations. He knew this was a major opportunity for him, and if he could pass this step, he would become a leading official with his own decision-making power, able to carry out the work he wanted to do.

  However, he couldn't let his guard down because after knowing about this matter, apart from Wu Cunhai, the other applicants were also thinking of ways to get selected successfully. As the saying goes, "If you want to learn poetry, the effort is outside of poetry." Everyone knew about this, so some people went through their connections in the city to make contact with Yang Long and Zhu Zi Chuan, trying to find a back door.

  The leader didn't say yes or no, just said everything would be based on the exam results, leaving them bewildered and thinking that even if their scores were good or bad, it was still up to the leader's discretion.

  Applicants, some people have already found a connection, while others think that it's just a formality and the outcome has already been decided, so why bother reviewing or preparing for the exam? Although their thinking has some logic to it, there is still a glimmer of hope until the very end. However, if they think this way beforehand, it can only be said that they have lost their fighting spirit.

  Ye Pingyu, although he had the support of Zhu Zishen, did not dare to be careless. He knew that Zhu Zishen's intention in publicly selecting candidates was to use some young talents, but he was afraid that someone would oppose it and hinder their promotion. Therefore, he wanted to test the officials through this method. If they performed poorly, they would only end up embarrassing him. Although there were four positions available for selection, it did not mean that all four would be promoted in the end. If their performance was very poor, it was possible that none of them would be promoted. So, although it was just a formality, the formality had to be carried out properly and could not be done poorly.

  So on the day of the exam, Ye Pingyu seriously answered the test paper. The exam was divided into written and oral tests, and finally organizational assessment. The written test mainly consisted of essay questions, which tested a person's ability to express themselves and their level of political theory, as well as their grasp of current events.

  The interview is of course to see a person's mental state and response ability level, after the interview is finished, then it is one by two into the interview.

  Because only nine people signed up, in the end only one was eliminated and all the others were able to enter the interview, because such a situation existed, other personnel didn't make much preparation.

  As soon as the written test results came out, others were stunned. Ye Pingyu's written test score was much higher than theirs, and this score was not modified by others, but was modified by a group of standing committee members who participated in the modification of the volume, and it was truly a sealed modification, without knowing whose name it was.

  Wu Dong's score was far behind Ye Pingyu, and he ranked ninth in the exam results. According to the rules, he should not have been eligible for an interview, but considering Wu Cunhai's face, if they had eliminated him from the written test, it would have made him unhappy. So, they eliminated the person who scored similarly to Wu Dong instead, which was not a big deal anyway.

  After entering the interview, Ye Pingyu's mood was a bit tense, but he had made preparations beforehand and was confident. He followed Zhao Zishen closely and was familiar with his thoughts. The questions in the interview were all set by him personally, so he could answer them fluently, making all the examiners look at him with new eyes.

  After the interview, Ye Pingyu again entered the organizational assessment stage with first place results. Wu Dong's written test ability was not good, but after all, he was following Zhang Mingxun, and his performance during the interview was okay, but he only scored fourth place. If based on comprehensive scores, he would be fifth place, just barely failing to advance. However, the organizational assessment ratio is 1:1.5, meaning the top six candidates enter the organizational assessment stage.

  In this way, he can still enter the organization to investigate, and once the investigation is conducted, it's just the subjective opinion of the investigator. With Wu Cunhai's connections, it's no problem to settle this matter.

  As expected, after the organization's examination, the examination team eliminated the other two candidates and submitted Wu Dong as a qualified candidate for approval by the Standing Committee.

  Although it's not very fair, no one dares to raise an objection. No one has ever done this before, and even if others want to object, they don't know how to bring it up. Anyway, those who have been brushed off will just be brushed off, and the participants can be considered first for promotion next time, so they don't want to say anything more.

  After research by the county party committee standing committee, the four people to be promoted passed smoothly, but for the time being no specific positions were arranged, only as a positive level leading cadres.

  Ye Pingyu was transferred to the county party committee office for more than eight months, from a deputy section-level cadre to a full section-level cadre in just over a year, such a promotion speed is indeed fast enough, and it can't help but make people look at him with new eyes.

  For a time, Ye Pingyu was a political newcomer in the Donglin County government circle. Although a political star has a halo, it is also easy to decline, and only solid work can make this star continue to shine.

  Ye Pingyu was well aware of this, after being promoted, anyone who invited him to celebrate, he did not respond, even if it was Bai Xiaocui and a few good friends, he did not agree. When it's time to be low-key, you have to be low-key, the heavenly way has its own rules, being low-key is never wrong.

  However, Wu Dong was not so low-key. He ended up going out to eat with a group of friends and after getting drunk, he hooked up with a strange woman. Then someone reported it to the county committee organization department and the county discipline inspection commission. The standing committee had just been established, but he was already causing trouble, which did not conform to the style regulations for leading cadres.

  As a result, a small wave was stirred up, and Wu Cunhai himself was so angry that he almost lost his life. In the end, it was still him who came forward to suppress this matter, otherwise Wu Dong's promotion this time would have been ruined.

  More than a month later, Zhu Zi Chuan convened a meeting to study the appointment of Ye Pingyu and others. Since there is only one party and government post in this regular college, which is the head of Cao Lingzi Township, and the other posts are all non-party and government posts, including the director of the CPPCC office and the deputy directors of the court and procuratorate, and the two regular college posts of the law and procuratorate have no one to compete for, only Wu Dong and Ye Pingyu's posts will be competed.

  Wu Dong also wanted to go down and be the village head, but Zhu Zi Chuan's intention was definitely to let Ye Ping Yu go down and be the village head. In order to ensure that the Standing Committee meeting would pass smoothly, he had a talk with Wu Cun Hai beforehand, suggesting that this time they temporarily not let Wu Dong go down to be the village head, but instead have him go to the CPPCC office to be the director, and wait for next time when there is an opportunity to arrange for him to go down. He hoped that he could understand.

  Zhu Zi Chuan was very serious when talking to him, Wu Dong's admission this time was all thanks to his care, and after the incident, if it were handled strictly, Wu Dong would have been eliminated long ago. Now he is still being arranged for, which can be said to be taking great care of him. If he still wants to compete for the position of Cao Ling Zi Township Head, regardless of whether he can or cannot take office, can he do a good job?

  Wu Cunhai thought for half a day and felt that if he didn't agree with Zhu Zishen's opinion, it might be disadvantageous to him in the end, so he had no choice but to agree to Zhu Zishen's request and give up the idea of letting Wu Dong become the village head.

  Because Wu Cunhai did not intervene in this matter, the arrangement was made entirely according to the assessment situation. Ye Pingyu's appointment as township head is unquestionable, because he originally worked in Cao Lingzi Township and now returns to Cao Lingzi Township to take up the post of township head, with much more work experience than Wu Dong who has never worked in a township.

  So when studying at the Standing Committee, it basically followed Zhu Zichuan's opinion and passed the decision to appoint Ye Pingyu.

  It wasn't until then that Wu Zhenquan realized his dream of becoming the village head had been shattered. News began to spread throughout the village that Ye Pingyu was returning to become the village head, leaving all the cadres in shock. How long has Ye Pingyu even been working? He's already coming back to be the village head, this is a case of "wearing the official hat and returning to one's hometown", tsk tsk, impressive!

  The whole town was spreading the news, but at this time, Ye Pingyu had not yet arrived in the countryside to report. After studying it, Ye Pingyu still had some things to hand over before leaving. He thought about it and recommended Bao Gelei as Zhu Zishen's secretary, of course, not that kind of secretary who follows him around all day, but a special secretary who writes manuscripts for him. As the secretary who followed Zhu Zishen for a long time also understood some cadres, he appointed others accordingly.

  Bao Ge Lie's writing skills are quite strong, and with Ye Ping Yu's recommendation, Zhu Zi Chuan is naturally very satisfied. After Bai Xiao Cui was no longer in charge of the Secretarial Department, Xiao Jian Zhong finally became the head of the Secretarial Department with Ye Ping Yu's help, and for a time, he was unmatched in fame and extremely happy, even though he wasn't even at the deputy department level.
