Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

That night Wang Xiaohua and Li Zhongxian drank a lot and talked a lot, and his state was not affected at all by the troublesome matters caused by their parents back home.

It was also that night that Li Zhongxian mentioned to Wang Xiaohua a term he had never heard before—

Selected Graduate.

"Xiao Hua, if you plan to take the path of an official career in the future, you must start preparing, especially paying attention to the trends of Selected Graduates."

"What is a Selected Graduate?"

Wang Xiaohua heard this term for the first time and found it somewhat unfamiliar.

Although he was good at his studies, his channels for obtaining information were relatively closed off, so it was only natural that he had never heard this term.

After all, he didn't use the internet much, and up to now he hadn't paid much attention to the civil service exam.

This was actually the so-called information gap.

The term "Selected Graduate" was already very familiar to some city people.

But for most children from rural areas, they might not have heard this word even after finishing four years of university and graduating, let alone know the value of the "Selected Graduate" identity.

"The so-called Selected Graduate is an abbreviation for a group of outstanding graduates selected by relevant departments of the central government or various provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities from major universities to work at the grassroots level as reserve cadres for key cultivation."

Li Zhongxian explained patiently, not looking down on Wang Xiaohua's ignorance at all, after all Wang Xiaohua's family situation was there, lacking information channels was perfectly normal.

Li Zhongxian continued:

"Selected Graduates are divided into three types: first, Central Selection Graduates, second, Directed Selection and Appointment, third, Regular Selection and Appointment. The first type is the highest level, with recruiting units being central government ministries, so competition will be very fierce, targeting only 'Double First-Class' universities, that is, 985 and 211 universities. The second type, Directed Selection and Appointment, targets specific universities, conditions will be relaxed somewhat, usually promising provincial-level or municipal-level positions. The third type, Regular Selection and Appointment, has the loosest conditions and fewest restrictions, but usually requires long-term work at the grassroots level. As for development prospects, they definitely aren't as broad as Central Selection Graduates and Directed Selection and Appointment. Our county's Deputy County Magistrate Xiao Xueqing is a Directed Selection and Appointment graduate, and she will go to a municipal-level position in the future, truly a limitless future."

Wang Xiaohua nodded upon hearing this.

He silently noted it in his heart, then thanked him:

"Thank you, Uncle, for telling me these things. Please don't laugh at me, if you hadn't said it, I still wouldn't know these things."

Li Zhongxian laughed:

"What is there to laugh about? You're still young, always focused on your studies, and there's no one in your family to help you, so lacking information is perfectly normal."

Li Zhongxian continued:

"You're from Tsinghua University. With your intelligence, if you prepare in advance and work hard, you might be able to strive to become a Central Selection Graduate. But even if you can't become a Central Selection Graduate, it doesn't matter. That big tree isn't something just anyone can easily climb. Let's settle for second best and strive for a Directed Selection and Appointment quota, then see if we can do grassroots training on the county town side. If by chance you can return to do grassroots training on our county town side, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort for your future life. After all, in our county town, they are all our own people, and our own people will definitely take care of our own people."

Wang Xiaohua thought carefully for a moment and slowly nodded. He understood what Li Zhongxian meant.

Li Zhongxian's words actually revealed a reason for the formation of officialdom rules—the County Magistrate and County Party Secretary generally cannot be local officials, for fear that small places would produce a circle phenomenon of our own people taking care of our own people, thus forming local cliques, causing power monopoly and resource monopoly.

However, while the top and second-in-command cannot be local officials, grassroots civil servants do not have this restriction.

So, if Wang Xiaohua could return to his own county for grassroots training, his resume for grassroots training would definitely be very impressive, not only because he had that ability, but also because there were too many people in this county town willing to help him.

Someone might ask: Wang Xiaohua actually doesn't have much background now. In the county town, he only knows Li Zhongxian, Niu Chunsheng, and the like, at most adding Xiao Xueqing, who definitely won't develop in this small county town in the future. Who would be willing to help him?

This has to start from the officialdom ecology.

Many people in the county town appear calm on the surface and live extremely stable lives, but whether it's truly solid, only they themselves know in their hearts.

【35 Especially whenever an inspection team is sent down from above, many people are even more unable to sleep or eat in peace.

Especially whenever the higher-ups sent down an Inspection Team, many people were even more unable to rest or eat in peace.

Under such circumstances, personally cultivating someone who can take up a position above becomes especially important.

Even if this person doesn't provide much substantial help to oneself in the future, as long as there is any disturbance above, giving oneself a heads-up in advance, then all the previous resource support would have been well spent.

Only people in this circle can recognize the importance of being able to quickly receive upper-level information, because sometimes, if you're just half a beat slow, people can really die.

"Uncle, what do I need to prepare?"

Wang Xiaohua asked humbly.

Li Zhongxian did not answer his question immediately, but asked another question:

"Have you joined the Party?"

Wang Xiaohua answered truthfully:

"I joined in my senior year of high school."

【44】 Wang Xiaohua indeed joined in his senior year of high school. At that time, the homeroom teacher organized students from the Special Elite Class to join the Party. Students in the Special Elite Class were key objects of care by the school, so as long as they wrote an Application for Party Membership, they generally could successfully join the Party.

Wang Xiaohua indeed joined in Senior Year Three; at that time, the Homeroom Teacher organized the Special Elite Class students to apply for Party Membership. The Special Elite Class students were Key Care targets of the School, so as long as they wrote an Application for Party Membership, Ping Ping generally succeeded in joining the Party.

Wang Xiaohua originally didn't plan to join, but the homeroom teacher still required him to write an Application for Party Membership. After all, his grades were first in the whole school, and it was very necessary to mobilize him to join the Party. In the end, Wang Xiaohua joined.

Li Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction:

"That's good. If you haven't joined the Party, you must join as soon as possible. This is a bonus point."

Li Zhongxian continued:

"Additionally, during your time at school, you can run for Student Cadre. The resume of being a Student Cadre, when looking for a job in society, might become a deduction point, because under the social competition environment, no private enterprise will have a good impression of a graduate carrying official air. But for the civil service exam and the Selection and Appointment Examination, it is a bonus point."

Wang Xiaohua nodded again. At this moment, he suddenly realized why Wei Qian was so active in running for Class Cadre and joining the Student Union as soon as he entered university.

He estimated that Wei Qian was probably also thinking about taking the official career path in the future. Others had long planned their lives, so naturally they wouldn't put so much hard work into academic research. After all, their direction wasn't there.

"I'm not a Student Cadre. I didn't get into the Student Union in freshman year, and it should be impossible to get in during sophomore year. I can run for Class Cadre in sophomore year, but with my image and presence in the class, I estimate it will be very difficult to get elected."

Wang Xiaohua truthfully stated his situation.

He wasn't afraid of being laughed at. At Tsinghua University, he could indeed only be considered a Transparency, with little presence. He definitely wouldn't have much chance to run for Class Cadre.

Now Li Zhongxian was helping him plan his future path. He must truthfully state his situation and cannot, out of concern for Face, deliberately conceal his shortcomings.
