After Su Xinghui finished speaking, Zhao Yichen nodded and said, "Xinghui, I am truly convinced by you. I called you here without saying what the matter was, let alone letting you make any preparations. But these data of yours come right to your mouth, which shows that your usual work is done with heart, and you have put in great effort in your work. If China's cadres were all like you, this work would be easy to do."

Su Xinghui said, "I think this is the most basic homework for a leading cadre. If you aren't even familiar with the place you govern, how can you do the work well? Moreover, it is impossible for a leading cadre's work to remain unchanged forever. If the work division is adjusted, are you going to embrace Buddha's feet temporarily? You must be ready at any time."

Zhao Yichen smiled and said, "Your attitude is truly worth learning! Let's go, it's lunch time now, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Su Xinghui said, "Let me treat you to a meal instead; this is also to celebrate for you."

Zhao Yichen laughed and said, "You arrived in Yanzhong, and now I am still the host. Moreover, you provided me with so much useful information, so naturally, it should be me treating you to a meal."

Su Xinghui didn't say anything more. The two went out and downstairs together. They went to the Provincial Committee Guesthouse. Just the two of them ate together in a private room, without calling anyone else.

This was, of course, because Zhao Yichen's matter of transferring to Baozhou hadn't been told to anyone. Before this matter was settled, if too many people knew, it might end up failing, because the formal appointment was estimated to take about half a month to come down.

In order not to cause extra complications, Zhao Yichen prepared to hide this news even from his own wife. Now the only person who knew this news was Su Xinghui alone.

The two ordered a bottle of red wine to express a celebration. This news was not only good news for Zhao Yichen, but also good news for Su Xinghui. Since Zhao Yichen said he was going to move forward, this news naturally wouldn't be a false report.

Although Su Xinghui entered the Standing Committee, his rank remained unchanged, but he also formally entered the decision-making level of Baozhou City, which was a very important step.

During the meal, Zhao Yichen asked, "Xinghui, in your opinion, if I go to Baozhou, where should I start from first?"

Su Xinghui said, "Still that sentence, you must use people well first. But at the end of last year, Baozhou's middle-level cadres had already been adjusted somewhat, so now it is not suitable to adjust middle-level cadres on a large scale. So, I think you can put some effort into cadre assessment, reform the cadre assessment system, which can improve work efficiency and also allow truly excellent cadres to stand out and be appointed, while mediocre people cannot be promoted."

Zhao Yichen pondered and said, "Hmm, this idea of yours is very good. For me, the Municipal Party Secretary, the cadre assessment system is my job."

For Zhao Yichen, this Municipal Party Secretary, using cadres well was his job. It was best for him to intervene less in the government's work. He could completely control Baozhou City's work through cadre assessment.

And if he could achieve outstanding results in the reform of the cadre assessment system, this would also be a brilliant political achievement for him. If he wanted to successfully enter the ranks of the Provincial Standing Committee, just lying on the merit book of Baozhou City to pick fruits certainly wouldn't convince the public; he still needed some political achievements that belonged to him.

Then, the reform of the cadre assessment system was a very good entry point.

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, this is also the work you are best at, and it is easy to achieve results."

Zhao Yichen said, "Then do you have any good suggestions on how to reform specifically?"

Su Xinghui then told Zhao Yichen about some cadre assessment systems he had implemented in Changshan and Chongjin County. Zhao Yichen nodded repeatedly, obviously very inspired.

Su Xinghui's main idea was to quantify the assessment, not letting cadre assessment appear too vague. If it is too vague, the human factor occupies the majority, which is what the common saying goes: "If they say you can, you can, even if you can't; if they say you can't, you can't, even if you can."

If everything can be quantified for assessment, then it doesn't depend on people to say. Whose work is done well, whose work is done poorly, it is clear at a glance. And who should be promoted, who should be reprimanded, it is also clear at a glance. In this way, cadre assessment work is easy to do, and it is relatively scientific and accurate.

Zhao Yichen said, "I really didn't expect you to have such deep attainments in this area. Why haven't you told me before?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "You are an expert in organizational work, so how dare I show off in front of an expert? If you hadn't let me speak today, I wouldn't have dared to show my ugliness."

Zhao Yichen said, "You can't say it like that. These ideas of yours are still very inspiring to me. Although we have always had some research on this aspect of work, how to quantify the assessment of cadres' work achievements has always been a difficult problem. But these ideas of yours are very clear, and I think your ideas are truly very good."

Su Xinghui said, "Then thank you for your praise!"

Zhao Yichen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that calling you here today would give me so many surprises. The one who should say thank you is me!"

Su Xinghui hurriedly said a few words of self-humility.

The two talked and laughed, chatting happily. After eating, Zhao Yichen said, "By the way, Director Chi's destination seems to have been decided. Since you came to Yanzhong, you can also go see him."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Okay, I know."

In the afternoon, Zhao Yichen went to work, and Su Xinghui called Chi Yongjun. Chi Yongjun answered the phone and said with a smile, "Xinghui, is there anything?"

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Chi, I am in Yanzhong now. Do you have time now?"

Chi Yongjun said happily, "Is that so? You came to Yanzhong. Then how about this, let's go to Mingjing Tea House to drink tea tonight. Secretary Gan still has activities this afternoon."

Su Xinghui said, "Fine, then I will go to Mingjing Tea House after eating dinner tonight. You go over when you are free."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xinghui went to the Provincial Government Guesthouse to open a room. He still had to stay here for one night tonight.

Su Xinghui said to Zhai Yingjie, "Yingjie, we can't go back tonight. Xiao Qian won't have any opinions, right?"

Zhai Yingjie said, "It's fine, Mayor Su. You have already taken enough care of me. Among so many leaders' drivers, there isn't one like me who can go home on time every day after work."

Su Xinghui asked Yin Zhe again, "Yin Zhe, your family won't have any opinions, right?"

Yin Zhe said, "It's fine, Mayor Su. My family members are all mentally prepared. This is all work."

Su Xinghui said, "That's good. I want to rest in the afternoon. If you want to go out and stroll, you can go out as much as you want; you don't need to wait for me in the guesthouse."

Zhai Yingjie and Yin Zhe both nodded and said, "Okay, Mayor Su, we know."

Su Xinghui rested in his room. When he rested until past two o'clock, he woke up, and then he watched TV in the room. During this time, he received several calls, and the time passed very quickly.

After five o'clock, Su Xinghui, Zhai Yingjie, and Yin Zhe went downstairs to eat. After eating, he had Zhai Yingjie send him to Mingjing Tea House.

Although it was only around six o'clock, it was winter now, so the streets of Yanzhong City were already lit up with lights.
