Chapter 2388: Reporting for Duty

That afternoon, Su Xinghui went to the Development and Planning Commission to report for duty. In fact, he was already very familiar with this place; he had come here many times to run projects, and he knew many of the people here.

Su Xinghui's personnel file was placed in the Economic System Reform Department, and Su Xinghui also knew the director here: Yan Xianhua, the husband of You Jiayue, the brother-in-law of You Jiayu, and the son-in-law of Jiang Yinghui, who had even gone to Chongjin County for research this year.

That time, Yan Xianhua had a heart-to-heart talk with Su Xinghui. He had no malice toward Su Xinghui and did not want to have any conflict with him. In short, the two had a very good chat. Unexpectedly, they were now going to meet again in the capital, and Yan Xianhua had become Su Xinghui's direct superior.

In fact, Yan Xianhua's transfer to the Economic System Reform Department to serve as director had only happened this year, less than two months ago, and it was Premier Nan who had specifically named him for the transfer. This proved that Premier Nan highly recognized Yan Xianhua's ability. Economic system reform was currently a quite important task.

After reporting for duty, Su Xinghui went directly to see Yan Xianhua, because Yan Xianhua had told the office that Su Xinghui should come to his office as soon as he arrived.

As soon as the two met in the office, Yan Xianhua looked at Su Xinghui and smiled: "Comrade Xinghui, I really didn't expect that we would meet again in the capital."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Hello, Director Yan. From now on, I will be working under your leadership."

Yan Xianhua waved his hand and laughed: "Stop joking. You are just hanging your name here; you are Premier Nan's direct troops, and I cannot lead you."

Yan Xianhua was clearly very clear about Su Xinghui's positioning. He also knew that Su Xinghui would not sit in an office here, so he did not need to put on any airs of leadership in front of Su Xinghui.

In fact, if it weren't for the connection with the You family, Yan Xianhua felt that he and Su Xinghui could have become very good friends. But with the You family connection, he could not openly be friends with Su Xinghui.

Su Xinghui said, "Regardless, my work relationship is still hung here, and my salary and such must be collected here. Director Yan, please don't deduct anything from me!"

Yan Xianhua laughed heartily: "You are too good at joking. Would I dare deduct your salary? Anyway, the researchers and inspectors in our department don't sit in the office here, and their salary and benefits won't be a penny less, and you will be the same. However, this is the first time I have seen a researcher as young as you."

A researcher is a section-level position, while an inspector is a department-level position. These positions are generally arranged for cadres who are about to retire and need a promotion in rank. They have basically retreated to the second line, so naturally, they don't need to sit in the office much. But if these people had even a penny less in salary or benefits, they would not let it go.

For someone like Su Xinghui to become a researcher in his twenties, he was likely the only one in the whole country.

Su Xinghui was naturally joking with Yan Xianhua as well. Yan Xianhua's temperament was quite to his liking, and he had no actual superior-subordinate relationship with him, so Su Xinghui was willing to joke with him.

Su Xinghui said, "Then thank you, Director Yan. By the way, I have another matter I need your help with."

Yan Xianhua said, "Whatever it is, just say it."

Su Xinghui said, "Premier Nan asked me to take a working group to Yanzhong City, Yanbei Province, to lead the institutional reform of the Yanzhong Textile Group. I brought one person myself, Xia Song, who was transferred with me this time, but the two of us are too few. Could you arrange two more people for me?"

Yan Xianhua nodded and said, "That's no problem. Whatever kind of people you want, just say so."

Su Xinghui said, "Try to arrange young people as well. If they are too old, they won't fit in with me. Besides, older people have families to worry about, and I expect they wouldn't be willing to go to Yanbei Province."

Yan Xianhua pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's easy to handle. I'll arrange two university students who just joined the department this year for you. Are women okay?"

Su Xinghui was startled and quickly waved his hand: "Director Yan, do a good deed—please don't arrange any women. Women are too delicate, and I won't be able to take care of them."

Yan Xianhua laughed: "I don't think that's the reason, is it? I think you're definitely afraid your wife will get jealous, right?"

Su Xinghui was noncommittal and said to Yan Xianhua, "Director Yan seems to have deep personal experience!"

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily together.

Su Xinghui stood up and said, "Fine, Director Yan, then I will take my leave first. I still have to go back and get my family settled."

Yan Xianhua said, "By the way, do you need the department to arrange housing for you? However, the department might not be able to arrange anything too spacious; I expect we could only arrange a two-bedroom apartment, and the department's dormitory building is quite old."

For a unit like the Development and Planning Commission, it sounds intimidating, but they don't necessarily have good housing to distribute. The Commission's director, deputy directors, and department heads are better off, but officials like division chiefs are as numerous as ox hair, let alone Su Xinghui, a researcher without a real position. So, he really couldn't be allocated any good housing.

Although Yan Xianhua knew Su Xinghui was no ordinary researcher, he couldn't openly give him such special treatment.

Su Xinghui naturally understood and waved his hand: "I have a place to stay for now. I'm not sitting in the office here anyway, so don't bother allocating one. We'll talk about it later."

Yan Xianhua knew that Su Xinghui naturally wouldn't worry about not having a place to stay, so he didn't use this to do a favor; this favor was too cheap. He smiled and said, "That's fine. If you have any needs, just let me know." ===== CHAPTER 2390 =====
