Chapter 1956: Countermeasure

When Zhang Zhiqiang arrived at the office the next morning, he met the legendary Director Yang Mei. Director Yang Mei appeared to be in her thirties and was dressed very fashionably.

"So you are the new Zhang Zhiqiang from yesterday? I heard you are an intern at the Nongye Bureau's office." Director Yang Mei approached Zhang Zhiqiang proactively to greet him upon seeing him.

"Yes, my name is Zhang Zhiqiang. I met Director Sun yesterday, and she told me to come to work today." He replied with a smile.

"Hmm, then sit down on the sofa over there and wait for a moment; we will have a meeting later." Director Yang Mei gestured for him to sit on the sofa nearby, then turned and walked toward the conference room.

Zhang Zhiqiang watched Director Yang Mei's back, feeling somewhat nervous inside. He guessed whether this Director would be very strict, and that he must work hard to win her trust.

Shortly after, Director Yang Mei returned. She said to Zhang Zhiqiang:

"We are preparing to start the meeting. Come in with me."

Zhang Zhiqiang picked up his notebook and pen, and followed Director Yang Mei into the conference room.

Several people were already seated in the conference room. Among them, Director Sun was also present. She glanced at Zhang Zhiqiang, then turned her head away with a blank expression.

After Director Yang Mei introduced Zhang Zhiqiang to everyone, the meeting began.

The main content of the meeting was to discuss recent agricultural issues and solutions. Zhang Zhiqiang diligently recorded the content of everyone's speeches.

Halfway through the discussion, Director Sun suddenly spoke up:

"I think it is inappropriate to let an intern participate in such an important meeting. His experience is not yet sufficient to understand these complex issues."

Director Yang Mei immediately refuted:

"Interns also need opportunities to exercise themselves. I believe he has this ability."

Director Sun looked coldly at Zhang Zhiqiang and said no more.

The meeting continued. Due to Director Sun's cold attitude, Zhang Zhiqiang felt somewhat embarrassed. He secretly made up his mind that he must win everyone's trust through his own efforts. After the meeting ended, Director Yang Mei walked over and said to Zhang Zhiqiang:

"Do not be discouraged by Director Sun's words. She has not been in a good mood lately due to some matters. Actually, I think your performance in today's meeting was very good."

Hearing Director Yang Mei's words, Zhang Zhiqiang felt warm inside. He said gratefully:

"Thank you, Director Yang, for your encouragement. I will work even harder."

"Hmm, I have high hopes for you. Next, I will arrange some specific work for you. You must study seriously and ask if you do not understand." Director Yang Mei patted Zhang Zhiqiang's shoulder, then turned and walked toward her own office.

In the following days, Zhang Zhiqiang worked hard and studied modestly. His relationship with Director Yang Mei and other colleagues gradually became harmonious.

One day, Director Yang Mei called Zhang Zhiqiang into her office and told him:

"The Bureau has decided to recruit a batch of new people in the next civil service examination. This is an opportunity for you; you must grasp it well."

Hearing Director Yang Mei's words, Zhang Zhiqiang felt a stir in his heart. He knew this opportunity was crucial for his future development. So he said firmly:

"Thank you, Director Yang, for the reminder. I will prepare seriously."

"Alright, I believe you will perform well. If you need my help, come find me anytime." Director Yang Mei encouraged him.

After a period of preparation, Zhang Zhiqiang successfully passed the civil service examination and became a formal employee of the Bureau. In his work, he always maintained a diligent and hardworking attitude, winning the recognition and praise of colleagues and superiors.

Daily updates; hundreds of books, free. Find books; new books released irregularly.

One day, Director Sun found Zhang Zhiqiang:

"Little Zhang, there is an opportunity for external study recently. Are you willing to go?" Zhang Zhiqiang looked at Director Sun, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart. He replied:

"Director Sun, I am willing to go. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Director Sun nodded and said:

"Alright, then prepare yourself. We will depart in one month; I will notify you in advance of the specific study content and itinerary."

"Okay, I will prepare seriously." Zhang Zhiqiang replied gratefully.

Back in the office, Zhang Zhiqiang told Director Yang Mei this news. After hearing it, Director Yang Mei was very happy and encouraged him to grasp this opportunity well, to study more and communicate more.

One month later, Zhang Zhiqiang departed on schedule for the study location. During the study period, he made full use of his time, studied seriously, and communicated actively. Through this study, he not only increased his professional knowledge but also made many like-minded friends.

After returning from his studies, Zhang Zhiqiang worked even harder, fully applying the knowledge he had learned, and proposed many innovative ideas and suggestions. His performance received affirmation and praise from his superiors.

One day, Director Sun found Zhang Zhiqiang:

"Little Zhang, after the Bureau's research and decision, we plan to promote you to Assistant Chief of the Agriculture Section. What are your thoughts?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiqiang felt very surprised and excited. He replied:

"Director Sun, I am very grateful for the Bureau's trust and support in me. I will continue to work hard and not let down everyone's expectations."

Director Sun nodded and said:
