Chapter 899: Liu Shuji also wants to advance

Liu Chaoming said: "Yeah, I know it's difficult, that's why I came to you, old brother."

Originally Su Yang thought that after saying that, he had politely refused, and as for Liu Chaoming's favor, he could repay it in other ways.

But the other party was determined to find a breakthrough from him, this persistence and obsession, even bluntly called thick-skinned, left him somewhat helpless, so he could only say: "In Lancheng Shi, I indeed have no connections, and although I know a certain leader in the province, directly approaching the provincial leader for this matter would surely be unwelcome, you know that too."

"Oh, but there is someone who is definitely suitable; if he agrees, he can definitely help you. However, there is a precondition: all aspects must withstand the organization's scrutiny, subsequent talks and public announcements must not cause problems."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chaoming's eyes lit up: "Sure, sure, you can rest assured on this point. To be honest, I'm like most people—I haven't stood out politically, just senior enough without mistakes. To be frank, not everyone has that strong ability or dazzling achievements."

Su Yang then asked: "What's your goal? Is there a vacant vice mayor position in the city? Or should you first resolve your rank? Oh, these matters you guys discuss among yourselves; actually, telling me means I still have to relay it, which is troublesome."

After saying that, he directly dialed Sun Chengjun in front of Liu Chaoming and then explained their relationship.

Sun Chengjun's CPU instantly burned out; he didn't understand why Su Yang asked him to handle this, what merit or ability he had—but on the phone he couldn't say it outright, only uttering a few hesitant sounds.

After hanging up, he immediately sent Su Yang a message asking what was going on, this was too much of an honor; he had just become the director of Lie Shan Public Security Bureau, where would he get this energy?

Su Yang replied with three words: "Find your girlfriend."

Then he said to Liu Chaoming: "Comrade Sun Chengjun is my childhood friend; we have a great relationship. Moreover, his connections in Jincheng Shi are much stronger than mine. Let me put it this way: his girlfriend is the section chief of the Organization Department of the Lancheng Municipal Party Committee; the rest need not be said."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chaoming's eyes shone, and various words of thanks poured out in a basket.

Su Yang said: "Actually, you don't need to thank me; our relationship is just me pulling a thread, laying a bridge. Because in Jincheng Shi, him handling this for you is more reliable than me asking others."

"Although doing this also serves a purpose and personal interest, Sun Chengjun now, to a certain extent, counts as having entered the inner circle; interpersonal relations definitely need maintenance, and some relations maintained through him, some networks expanded through him—actually it's better to let Sun Chengjun do it himself."

"Furthermore, there is a deeper reason: I want to see Ning Shu Yue's mind, to gauge how weighty Sun Chengjun's position is. This time, pushing Sun Chengjun onto the Public Security Bureau director position by all means should exceed Ning Shu Yue's expectations, so I also want to see her reaction."

"If Sun Chengjun wants to continue developing, it cannot rely solely on his personal strength here; he also needs Old Gao comrade. Of course, Sun Chengjun's personal quality must also be solid. Of course, I am merely helping to mediate, giving you no promises."

Even so, Liu Chaoming was already very grateful, because he also knew exactly what kind of person that section chief was.

After Su Yang and Liu Chaoming finished drinking, Su Yang fell asleep without distraction, while Liu Chaoming tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

Of course, Sun Chengjun was not idle either.

He now daily makes a phone-call congee with Ning Shu Yue, so when he calls he brings up this matter.

Ning Shu Yue said: "Originally your appointment as Public Security Bureau director was an extraordinary promotion; although the procedure was handled by the Municipal Organization Department and Municipal Public Security Bureau, bypassing your county entirely, in fact such appointments basically come from someone directly finding the Municipal Party Committee leadership. This 100% was Su Yang helping you, only out of consideration for your relationship, they haven't bothered to tell you these things, but their silence doesn't mean the matter doesn't exist."

"Moreover, you haven't had a chance to thank this childhood friend of yours, so we should do our best. But the precondition remains the same: this person must pass all aspects. Tonight I will have relevant colleagues review his resume; tomorrow morning I will ask for specifics; by around noon I can reply to you."

Sun Chengjun said somewhat foolishly: "Isn't it? I know Su Yang well; regarding Liu Chaoming's matter, he never said it must be done, otherwise, with his connections he wouldn't need to look for us."

Ning Yue giggled: "You're silly; they're paving the way for you. In his view, this matter can be done or not; letting you handle it is to expand your network. Later you will also be someone who ascends to a leadership post; after settling the Public Security Bureau director position, the next step is to become vice county magistrate."

"And with your situation, you can't always follow Su Yang; the organization also wouldn't allow that, impossible for them to follow you wherever they go. Making more connections is helpful for you. I know there is a vacant vice mayor position in the city, competition is fierce; Liu Chaoming has no advantages except seniority."

Sun Chengjun said: "I haven't thought that far; I just want to do my current job well, and as Public Security Bureau director I should work three to five years at least. As for Su Yang's pace, I definitely can't keep up, nor can I shamelessly follow him everywhere."

Ning Shu Yue said: "How can you be such a wooden head? You can't keep up, but Su Yang equally needs someone like you, a trusted childhood friend, to escort him all the way; your relationship with him should remain solid. You didn't say Su Yang will marry during the New Year? You still need to give him a big red envelope."

Upon mentioning this, Sun Chengjun said proudly: "Red envelopes aren't important; he already told me that in the whole Ganzhou Sheng, he only invited one person to attend his wedding in Jingcheng—guess who? Yes, congratulations, you guessed right, it's me, Sun."

Ning Shu Yue upon hearing this also felt excited, she directly said: "Why don't you come back tonight? I have some things to say face to face; besides, you haven't returned for a week, I miss you. Moreover, I still need to tell my dad about this, see if he has anything to instruct you."
