Chapter 1252: The Hope of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate!

Friday, Municipal Party School.

The Public Selection has entered the second round, the interview stage.

Xie Miao drove Kuang Zhaoting to the Party School, but did not leave afterward, waiting inside the car instead.

Following the signs, Kuang Zhaoting arrived at the waiting room.

The format for this round of interviews is a leaderless group discussion.

After receiving the exam topic, several interviewees must engage in a discussion centered on the theme.

A group of people forms a temporary team, with no assigned roles, to discuss a given problem together and reach a consensus.

The interviewers observe from the side, selecting candidates who perform outstandingly.

Kuang Zhaoting felt quite confident, as he was originally a university teacher who had stood on a podium for years, facing students of various personalities; he possessed an advantage in both his presence and his ability to adapt on the spot.

The interviewers sat in a row, and the one sitting in the very center was a woman with an exceptional temperament.

Kuang Zhaoting recognized her at a glance.

Xie Miao had once mentioned to Kuang Zhaoting that Du Xi's child had a godmother who was none other than the Deputy Minister of the Municipal Organization Department, named Cheng Lin.

Although he had never met, dined with, or greeted Cheng Lin, he felt much more at ease at this moment.

Because his mother-in-law had said previously that Tang Ye had already spoken to Cheng Lin regarding the issue of Luobogang.

Therefore, the list of candidates selected for the interview was later adjusted.

The original candidate who had been internally selected with high acclaim was directly disqualified.

Kuang Zhaoting quickly received the topic: "How to handle the conflict between corporate environmental protection and economic development?"

Factories discharging pollutants contaminate the environment, but once shut down, it would lead to:

1. Worker unemployment;

2. A decrease in local tax revenue;

3. A decline in the local economy.

Please discuss: Should they be shut down immediately, or should they be given a deadline for rectification?

Kuang Zhaoting spoke third; the two people before him were both experienced veterans who had also made ample preparations.

It was just that their viewpoints were still not rigorous or comprehensive enough.

Kuang Zhaoting spoke eloquently: "Hello, judges. My viewpoints mainly consist of the following points.

Environmental protection is the bottom line; one must never sacrifice the environment in exchange for economic development.

Shutting them down directly is too extreme and will trigger a series of problems such as unemployment and livelihood issues.

Therefore, my solution is:

First, set a deadline for rectifying the pollution problem;

Second, have the government subsidize technological upgrades;

Finally, promote the green transformation of enterprises.

Of course, empty talk on paper is meaningless.

In fact, in Hanzhou, there is a very classic case.

I previously led a research project at the university,

and I conducted a comprehensive analysis of the national-level green industrial base in Suiyuan County.

This case is the most appropriate interpretation of this problem."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lin's eyes lit up, and she immediately scored him quickly on the evaluation sheet.

"You were able to combine the exam topic with reality; this point is excellent.

Please, next candidate, answer."

Hearing this evaluation, Kuang Zhaoting secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

In answering the question, he had been clever.

This national-level industrial project in Suiyuan County was Tang Ye's core political achievement.

Relying on this project, Tang Ye verified the value of the Public Selection, rising directly from an ordinary Deputy County Magistrate to an Executive Deputy County Magistrate, and even entering the Cross-provincial Cadre Exchange Program of the Provincial Organization Department.

His answer not only integrated theory with practice, but was also more layered than a formulaic response, enough to leave a deep impression on the judges.

Walking out of the exam room, Kuang Zhaoting took a deep breath; no matter what, this step had finally been taken.

He walked to the car and gently knocked on the window.

Xie Miao had fallen asleep in the driver's seat; startled awake, she hurriedly opened the car door.

Kuang Zhaoting said with emotion: "I told you to go back first; there was no need to wait for me here."

Xie Miao said with a smile: "I had nothing to do back there anyway. How did the interview feel?"

Kuang Zhaoting said with a smile: "The topic was standard, but it wasn't easy to make an answer stand out. By the way, do you know who the lead interviewer was?"

Xie Miao asked curiously: "Who?"

Kuang Zhaoting said: "It was the person you mentioned before, Deputy Minister of the Municipal Organization Department, Cheng Lin."

A look of joy appeared at the corners of Xie Miao's mouth: "I know Tang Ye; he definitely spoke to Cheng Lin. With her serving as an interviewer, it can at least guarantee that the result is fair and just. Now, let's just wait for the news!"

……

One week later, the results were announced.

Kuang Zhaoting's name appeared on the public list.

Seeing the news, Kuang Zhaoting felt a sense of relief and immediately dialed Xie Miao's number.

"Honey, I have good news to tell you: I succeeded. I ranked first in the overall score!"

Xie Miao was also very excited: "Congratulations! I knew you could do it."

Kuang Zhaoting hung up the phone with Xie Miao, ran to a deserted corner, let out a low roar, and vented to his heart's content.

Recently, the pressure he has been under is truly too great.

His encounter with Xie Miao was originally two dejected people seeking warmth from each other.

Xie Miao's ex-husband is a piece of human trash who is corrupt in every way.

As for his own wife, he had discovered several years ago that she had been seeing someone else all along.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a university teacher, surrounded by an aura of prestige.

However, in his wife's view, his income is not high, and he lacks drive.

Consequently, his wife ended up with his superior at work.

When he could no longer bear it and proposed a divorce,

his wife acted unusually calm.

"I don't need the house or the car, but I must take our daughter with me."

Kuang Zhaoting was greatly shocked: "I don't agree! My daughter must stay with me."

His wife cruelly stated a truth: "There is something I must tell you; I was already pregnant when I first married you."

In that instant, Kuang Zhaoting felt as if the sky were collapsing and the earth splitting.

The reason he tolerated his wife's betrayal time and again was entirely for his daughter; he never expected his wife to personally tear apart his last shred of dignity.

Kuang Zhaoting gradually calmed down: "Fine, I agree to the divorce. The child is yours too. But I will make you regret this one day."

His wife glanced at Kuang Zhaoting with disdain: "Just you?"

The contempt and scorn that went deep into his marrow left an indelible mark on him.

He understood that if he continued to remain a university teacher, he was destined to never get ahead in this life.

Just at this time, he saw the news about the Public Selection.

As a university teacher, he happened to meet the application requirements for the Public Selection.

Thus, he staked all his hopes of changing his fate against the heavens on this Public Selection.

Of course, the process was full of twists and turns.

After the written test results came out, someone called to threaten him to give up, telling him that the position had already been internally decided.

At that moment, Kuang Zhaoting truly felt that everything before his eyes was pitch black.

However, a turning point eventually appeared.

He finally succeeded!

Kuang Zhaoting knew clearly in his heart that Du Xiaofeng had been a huge help.

He dialed Du Xiaofeng's number.

"Mom, I have good news to tell you; the Public Selection results are out, and I am in first place."

Du Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, then her eyes were filled with pleasant surprise: "Is that so? That's wonderful. You must thank Xie Miao's uncle."

"Yes, once the public notice period ends and everything is settled, I will definitely pay a visit to express my gratitude!"

Hanging up the phone with her son-in-law, Du Xiaofeng felt sweet inside.

In her view, this was definitely the result of her older brother secretly lending a hand!
