Chapter 1305: You Are Truly a Hidden Talent!

After going downstairs, Du Chengfeng discovered that his younger sister, Du Xiaofeng, had brought Xie Miao and his new son-in-law, Kuang Zhaoting, to the house as guests.

Du Xiaofeng stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce him to Du Chengfeng: "Brother, this is little Kuang."

Kuang Zhaoting stood straight, his tone slightly reserved, and he said respectfully: "Secretary Du, hello!"

Du Chengfeng nodded slightly and said in a calm tone: "Come with me to the study."

It was Kuang Zhaoting's first time at Yunhu Courtyard, and he felt very uneasy.

Du Chengfeng's study was not particularly large, but the two large bookshelves standing against the wall were filled with books; at a glance, the scholarly atmosphere rushed toward him!

"Little Kuang, please sit!" Du Chengfeng pointed to the chair opposite him.

Kuang Zhaoting sat down with a smile, his body tense, not daring to relax.

Du Chengfeng said, "Moving from a university to the Government, you need to shift your identity and stance; you must adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible."

Kuang Zhaoting said with a solemn expression, "Thank you for your guidance; I will certainly put aside my airs and treat my work well."

Du Chengfeng took out a business card: "Director Dai of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau—I have already spoken with him on the phone; you should take the initiative to report your work to him tomorrow."

A flash of excitement instantly crossed Kuang Zhaoting's eyes, and he hurriedly stood up to thank him: "Thank you so much, Secretary Du!"

Du Chengfeng waved his hand: "Don't let your mother-in-law know about this; she has a straightforward temperament and a fast mouth, and she can't keep anything to herself."

Kuang Zhaoting thought to himself that Secretary Du's assessment of his mother-in-law was indeed precise, and he hurriedly replied: "I understand what to do."

Subsequently, Du Chengfeng and Kuang Zhaoting had an in-depth exchange regarding work ideas and direction.

He had a preliminary understanding of Kuang Zhaoting: he had ideas and courage, but lacked experience in the officialdom and still needed to be well-tempered.

If carved well, he could become a good helper for his son-in-law.

Kuang Zhaoting had always thought Du Chengfeng was a rigid and serious person, feeling that even with this kinship, it was nothing more than a mere formality.

After this communication, he realized that Du Chengfeng was not actually unfeeling, but was guiding and cultivating him from a higher dimension!

Xiao Qin enthusiastically urged Du Xiaofeng's family to stay for a meal, but Du Xiaofeng was afraid of being scolded by Du Chengfeng and hurriedly found an excuse to refuse.

After dinner, Du Chengfeng finished washing up, lay on the bed, and flipped through a book.

Xiao Qin walked in gently and took the book from his hand: "Stop reading, let's talk for a while."

Du Chengfeng laughed in spite of himself: "What, are you here to plead for Xiao Feng's son-in-law?"

Xiao Qin nodded: "Since you have the ability to help little Kuang now, you should help him. Back when you were having such a hard time, my brother didn't help us; we've been rained on, so we know what that feels like."

Du Chengfeng said with a smile: "Rest assured, I have already made arrangements. However, he still has to walk the path himself; it depends on whether he strives for it."

Xiao Qin smiled: "Husband, you have actually become the Mayor."

Du Chengfeng sighed with emotion: "The officialdom system is a pyramid; the higher you go, the harder it gets. The road ahead is still difficult, and I don't know how many storms there will be."

Xiao Qin comforted him softly: "Man proposes, God disposes. I will go as far as I can. If I really can't walk any further, then I'll travel the world."

Du Chengfeng's tone was solemn: "I always feel that there isn't enough time now. I have almost seen the end of the road for this life. I only hope to go as high as possible so that I can lay a good foundation and pave the way for Tang Ye."

Xiao Qin said excitedly: "Husband, you and I are thinking the same thing. Tang Ye is a child who will surely accomplish great things."

……

Xie Miao and Kuang Zhaoting returned to their residence.

As soon as they entered the door, Xie Miao couldn't wait to ask her husband: "How did it go with my uncle?"

Kuang Zhaoting sighed with emotion: "Your uncle's aura is too strong; I felt especially nervous chatting with him. He told me to work hard and said opportunities would come. He even gave me Director Dai's business card and told me to take the initiative to report my work to Director Dai tomorrow."

Xie Miao was not surprised at all: "You must prepare well. You've been working at the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau for a while now. My uncle must have felt you were already familiar with the environment before specifically creating this opportunity for you."

A look of determination appeared in Kuang Zhaoting's eyes: "Don't worry, I will grasp it well."

In the officialdom, opportunities are very important.

If not for the connection with Du Chengfeng, it would have been almost impossible for him to communicate directly with Director Dai.

The next morning, Kuang Zhaoting took the materials he had stayed up all night writing and knocked on the door of Director Dai's office.

Director Dai was not tall and was around fifty years old, but he looked very young.

"Little Kuang, please sit!" Director Dai smiled and let Kuang Zhaoting sit opposite him.

Director Dai was usually very serious in front of his staff, so Kuang Zhaoting had been quite uneasy before coming to see him.

However, in private, Director Dai was actually very polite to people.

"Director Dai, let me report to you about my current work..."

Director Dai waved his hand: "No need to be so formal; relax, let's just chat a bit."

Kuang Zhaoting was stunned for a moment and closed his materials: "I'm sorry, I was too nervous."

Director Dai smiled: "You are truly a hidden talent! I was very surprised that Secretary Du called to ask me to pay attention to your development. Are you and Secretary Du relatives?"

Kuang Zhaoting answered truthfully: "My wife is Secretary Du's niece."

Director Dai suddenly realized and thought to himself that it was no wonder this position had been internally designated before, only for that connected person to be kicked out by the Municipal Organization Department.

It turned out that Kuang Zhaoting's background was even deeper than that internally designated person.

Du Chengfeng had been rooted in Hanzhou for many years, having served as Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Head of the Municipal Organization Department, and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

This favor was one he absolutely had to grant in full.

Director Dai smiled brightly: "You taught at a university before and worked on research projects; these are your advantages. However, government work is different from a university; the environment is intricate and complex, and it requires you to settle down and slowly explore and adapt.

You are a talent selected through the Municipal Organization Department's Public Selection, and I believe you have the ability to adapt to the work here quickly.

We are holding a meeting this afternoon; prepare in advance, as you will need to take on more responsibility.

Currently, the Water Ecological Environment Section is missing a capable person in charge.

I will propose at the meeting that you take charge of this section."

Kuang Zhaoting's eyes lit up: "Okay, I will work hard."

Walking out of the Director's office.

Kuang Zhaoting felt as if his feet were floating; ever since he arrived at the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, he had been ignored.

Because this position was a "Luobogang" tailored for someone else.

If you snatch someone else's spot, you will definitely be made things difficult for.

Kuang Zhaoting once doubted whether his move from a university to the Government was the right one.

But now, Kuang Zhaoting has firmed his confidence in that initial choice!

In the afternoon, the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau held a meeting.

Everyone discovered that Kuang Zhaoting, who should not have reached the required rank, had actually appeared in the conference room.

Bureau Chief Dai publicly announced the work arrangement for Kuang Zhaoting.

After the meeting ended, everyone was full of curiosity about Kuang Zhaoting's background.

"Who on earth is this person surnamed Kuang?"

"It seems there are no high-ranking leaders surnamed Kuang in our city, right? Could his connections be at the provincial level??"

"Sure enough, no one who can stand out in a Public Selection is a pushover!"
