Chapter 97: Maze of Labyrinth

  Han Qin was well aware that he could become the acting director of the office at the University for Elder Cadres mainly because Mayor Yan had played a role in it. As the saying goes, "when a person leaves, the tea becomes cold", now that Mayor Yan is seriously ill and can no longer make use of his remaining heat, Wei Jianmin naturally would not give face to the old man anymore!

  This summer, during a routine physical examination, Mayor Yan was diagnosed with lymphoma, and the disease developed rapidly, entering the late stage in just two or three months.

  A few days ago, Han Qin had just gone to the hospital to visit the elderly, originally a very robust body, thin to the point of being skin and bones, it's heartbreaking! Han Qin chatted with Mayor Yan in the ward for a while, nothing more than trying to pick some topics that would make people happy, where did he have the heart to discuss work matters!

  Lü Lin said that at this point, Han Qin knew that it was useless to say more to him. As the head of a department, his power was limited, and everything still depended on what Wei Jianmin said!

  Han Qin smiled and said: "Director Lü, thank you. I'll go to the office hall first and ask them what they say!"

  Lü Lin smiled and said, "Director Han, you can go now, goodbye!" As soon as Han Qin walked out of the office door, he heard Lü Lin and Sun Hongjun whispering to each other. Without thinking, it was definitely not a good thing!

  After leaving the old dry goods store, Han Qin went to the office. Director Yan Qing of the Cadre Department was searching for materials on the computer and saw Han Qin knock on the door and come in, smiling: "Director Han, back to visit your mother's home!"

  Yan Qing's smile made her look even more elegant and charming. The phone call informing Han Qin to report for work was made by Yan Qing, who also kindly reminded him that it would be best to report before the 15th in order to receive a full month's salary. At that time, Han Qin had already developed a good impression of this female cadre, and after meeting her in person, he felt that this delicate and charming young woman was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted, giving people a feeling as gentle as a spring breeze!

  Han Qin smiled and said, "Yan sister, I came to ask about the new civil servant ranking. Originally, when I was borrowed, it was agreed that the ranking would be determined by the old cadre bureau, but now they let me come back, I don't know what changes have occurred!"

  Yan Qing is the head of the personnel department, so he naturally knows this matter best. The general office only recruited two civil servants last year, one was Yang Feng, who is now in the secretariat, and is Mayor Zhou's full-time secretary, and the other is Han Qin. These two newly recruited civil servants are both excellent, Yang Feng has a double bachelor's degree from Peking University, according to regulations can be appointed as deputy director of the department, after being assigned as deputy section chief is a matter of course!

  Han Qin was even more outstanding, and last year he was awarded the title of Hero of Justice by the municipal party committee and government. The old cadres bureau took advantage of the opportunity to transfer him to the University for Old Cadres as acting director of the office, which is a promotion beyond the normal ranks. According to the principle of "position-based ranking", Han Qin can be directly ranked as a section chief, formally taking on the role of office director, which is a real job at the deputy department level!

  However, when it came time for the new recruits to be assigned positions, there was no response from the old cadres' side. They neither came to take away Han Qin's file nor gave any notice to the office. Based on her professional instincts, Yan Qing predicted that Han Qin's promotion might not go smoothly and that there must be some hidden problem!

  When Han Qin asked this, Yan Qing thought for a moment and looked around the spacious office. There was only one young girl who was intently inputting data into her computer. This girl was temporarily hired by the office and was someone Yan Qing knew personally, so there was no need to avoid talking in front of her!

  Yan Qing stretched out his hand to close the office door, smiling: "Xiao Han, my intention is that you should try your best to get promoted at the Old Cadre Bureau. Last year when they borrowed you, they had already made arrangements with the Organization Department, which belongs to the category of heroic breakthrough promotion. Now all that's missing is a formal document from them. As long as the Old Cadre Bureau transfers your organizational relationship over, based on your current situation, it will be a real job at the deputy department level!"

  Han Qin nodded and said: "Yan Jie, if I come back for a level assessment, what level can I be assessed at?"

  Yan Qing solemnly said: "Xiao Han, you must find a way to get ranked at the Old Cadre Bureau! Since you were able to be seconded there in the first place, it means you definitely have some background. Try your best to make connections and whatever you do, don't come back!"

  Yan Qing saw that Han Qin was listening very attentively, so she decided to give him a little advice. Although she hadn't had much contact with Han Qin, Yan Qing admired this sunny young man, who was refined and courteous, sincere in his interactions with others, an excellent young fellow! If he made a mistake at this stage, the loss would be huge, it would be such a pity!

  Yan Qing lowered his voice slightly and said: "Xiao Han, you have a bachelor's degree from a university. According to your situation, in the General Office, you can only be appointed as a clerk. Last year, the General Office gave you an award, based on this spirit, you can be exceptionally appointed as a deputy director-level clerk. The treatment of deputy director-level clerk is almost the same as that of deputy section chief, and it's only half a level different from that of a full-fledged section chief. However, being a deputy director-level clerk is a non-leadership position, and the difference with an actual section chief is not insignificant!"

  For the difference in rank at work, Yan Qing is a department head, and he feels it most deeply! In the general office, deputy director, director, and even deputy researcher are all available, but to take on a real job as a full-time staff member, without outstanding work performance and a corresponding background, don't even think about it!

  Yan Qing's father-in-law is the second-ranked deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee office, and it took him eight years to get to the position of director of the personnel department! Old cadres like Liu Jian and Li Jitong in the personnel department are about to retire internally, but they still hold the position of department head! A young man who just started working is already a deputy department head, which is really enviable!

  Han Qin smiled and said, "Yan Jie, I understand, thank you!" Yan Qing waved her hand and smiled, "Xiao Han, don't be polite! Everything still depends on your own efforts, don't miss this opportunity!"

  For this level, Han Qin didn't take it too seriously! However, this matter is too annoying! If the old cadres' bureau doesn't want to mention Han Qin's organizational relationship, it means that the secondment has ended and Han Qin will be sent back to the office hall! On the surface, nothing seems to withstand scrutiny!

  Why was it returned! It must be that the work at the University for the Elderly is not done well, and it's not suitable to take on the role of Office Director! What's the difference between this and a young daughter-in-law being sent back to her parents' home by her husband's family! To put it bluntly, it's embarrassing!

  Damn it! Han Qin cursed in a low voice, Wei Jianmin you old fellow, isn't this ruining my future?! For half a year, he was called Director Han, and now that he's returned to the office with his tail between his legs, won't "Director Han" become his nickname?! Han Qin took a deep breath, not wanting to lose face, he must make a comeback!

  Back to the old cadre university, Han Qin went directly to Hu Yanliang's office. Principal Hu is also restless and uneasy now! Hu Yanliang has been in the position of executive vice president for only two years, and the organization has made a move, preparing to implement competitive recruitment for all three principal positions!

  Life lies in movement, leaders frequently adjust cadres! The subtlety of this is not enough to be explained to outsiders! A leader's right to artistic expression, the establishment of official authority, and the thrill of controlling others' destinies are all fully embodied when adjusting cadres! Any leader with ideas will not allow their system to remain stagnant for long!

  At this critical moment, Jiang Tianfeng was determined to have a final showdown with Hu Yanliang! Hu Yanliang had been itching for revenge against this long-haired man and was pacing around the office, thinking of ways to defeat him once and for all!

  Hu Yanliang ushered Han Qin into his office, looking at this capable young fellow, opening his mouth, but not knowing what to say!

  For more than half a year, Han Qin has been strongly supporting his work. Zhang Mao presided over the compilation of calligraphy and painting teaching materials for national old-age universities, which passed the acceptance smoothly, making Zhang Mao very proud for a while!

  Not long after, Han Qin set up an art appreciation major at the old-age university, which was extremely popular. Schools from other provinces came to observe and learn from it, and received praise from the National Aging Committee. Han Qin did not take credit for himself, but instead attributed all the merits to Hu Yanliang, who finally had the capital to suppress the arrogance of Zhang Ma!

  Hu Yanliang felt that he himself was in a precarious situation and couldn't care about the director of the agent's office he had recommended. Brothers were originally birds in the same forest, but when disaster struck, they flew separately!
