Chapter 3188: Secretary Gan is Coming to Inspect

Su Xinghui laughed out loud: "Given the relationship between our two families, why talk about climbing high or not? But if we arrange this betrothal, let's not spread it around, so as not to have a bad influence."

Xia Song nodded knowingly and said, "I understand, Mayor Su."

Su Xinghui said solemnly, "Xia Song, you have grown quite a bit in Zheshan County over the past half year. What are your own thoughts?"

Xia Song also said solemnly, "Mayor Su, thank you for letting me come to Zheshan County. Being a town mayor here has really taught me a lot. Before, when I watched you do things, it always felt so simple, but when it came to myself, I realized that many things are not as simple as they look. I used to have high standards but low abilities, and I hope to get rid of this bad habit as soon as possible."

Su Xinghui said, "You have deep insights. Being able to have these thoughts shows that this trip to Zheshan was not in vain. I have always believed that staying in an office for five years is not as good as working at the grassroots level for one year. In an office, you either waste time on paperwork or waste time on infighting. If you want to really do something, it is better to be at the grassroots level."

Xia Song said, "Yes, as a town mayor, I do much more than before."

Su Xinghui said, "Then how do you view your previous experience working in an office?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Song said, "Actually, I think that if you can work with heart in an office, you can also get something out of it, such as how to deal with people, how to figure out the policies from above, etc."

Su Xinghui nodded in appreciation and said, "You hit the nail on the head. In an office, you can indeed get these things, especially it can be of great help to how you deal with people at work. However, you cannot stay in an office for too long, otherwise you will only know how to scheme against people, not how to scheme for things. This is why when leaders are promoted now, they generally need to have a comprehensive resume, having both office work experience and the ability to take charge alone at the grassroots level."

Xia Song understood Su Xinghui's painstaking efforts and also understood Su Xinghui's expectations. Su Xinghui was focusing on cultivating him. He couldn't help but feel grateful and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, Mayor Su."

Su Xinghui said, "No need to say that. My cultivation is one aspect, but the most important thing is that you have to do an excellent job yourself. Now the city's cadre assessment system is very scientific and reasonable. As long as you do an excellent job, you will naturally enter the city's sight."

Xia Song certainly understood the cadre assessment system that the city was focusing on promoting. He knew that Su Xinghui was blowing wind for him. He nodded and said, "I understand, Mayor Su. I will definitely work harder to do a good job and will absolutely not lose face for you."

Su Xinghui nodded. He talked to Xia Song about some of the gains and losses in his work in Zheshan County. Xia Song listened attentively and even took a special notebook to write down Su Xinghui's teachings. He knew that these were Su Xinghui's precious governing experiences, which were precious wealth that could not be bought with money.

At the end of their conversation, Su Xinghui said, "Xia Song, in the second half of this year, the Municipal Party School will hold a short-term training class for young and middle-aged cadres. The standard for cadres participating in this training class is under forty years old, and the level is from deputy-prefectural to regular-section level. You happen to meet the conditions, so you must be mentally prepared to participate in this short-term training class. The duration of this short-term training class is about three months."

Xia Song knew that such a short-term training class for young and middle-aged cadres held by the Municipal Party Committee must be for the purpose of cultivating reserve cadres. Cadres who could participate in this training class would definitely be the echelon cadres that the Municipal Party Committee would focus on cultivating in the future. Being able to enter this training class made him both surprised and happy.

Xia Song nodded and said, "Mayor Su, I will be fully prepared. Thank you!"

After returning to Baozhou from Zheshan County, Zhao Yichen called Su Xinghui to discuss the list of students for the short-term training class for young and middle-aged cadres. There were 80 quotas for students participating in this short-term training class, which seemed like a lot, but if the scope was expanded to the whole city, this number was not much, so the student quotas were still very popular.

This short-term training class was also to cooperate with the cadre assessment system, allowing these young and middle-aged cadres who performed well in the assessment to learn well some of the major measures and spirits of the Municipal Party Committee this year, strengthen learning, improve ideological understanding, so as to better complete their work and serve the people.

In short, discerning people knew that this short-term training class for young and middle-aged cadres was the first middle-level cadre training class held after Secretary Zhao Yichen took office. Cadres who could participate would definitely have a limitless future.

Zhao Yichen also attached great importance to this short-term training class. He hoped that this short-term training class could select truly excellent young cadres. These cadres could grow sturdily after participating in this short-term training class and become the backbone of Baozhou City, so that the work of Baozhou City could have sustainability.

Therefore, Zhao Yichen also wanted to discuss the list of cadre students participating in the short-term training class for young and middle-aged cadres with Su Xinghui. On one hand, it was to show importance, and on the other hand, it was to give Su Xinghui some opportunities to arrange a few cadres he favored.

Of course, there was no need to mention Xia Song; his excellent performance naturally made him a member of the cadre short-term training class.

When Zhao Yichen smiled and asked Su Xinghui if he had any suitable candidates to recommend, Su Xinghui pondered for a moment and recommended a few candidates to Zhao Yichen. Zhao Yichen nodded and agreed one by one. However, Su Xinghui certainly wouldn't push his luck. After recommending these few candidates, he stopped saying anything. The remaining candidates would of course be left for Zhao Yichen and the others to decide.

The few people recommended by Su Xinghui included township heads from the counties and districts below and young deputy heads of municipal bureaus. Their ages all met the standard of being under forty, and their usual work achievements were relatively excellent. Su Xinghui often ran to the lower levels, so he had a thorough grasp of these excellent young cadres.

Zhao Yichen wrote these names in his notebook and said to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, this cadre assessment system has really played a great role. Now the work style of cadres in the whole city has undergone a great change, and work efficiency has also been greatly improved."

Su Xinghui certainly knew about this situation. He smiled and said, "This is all your credit, Secretary Zhao. You are an old cadre in the organization department, so doing this is not a light task."

Zhao Yichen was very happy. He certainly knew that if it weren't for Su Xinghui, he couldn't have made this cadre assessment system so perfect and so operable all at once. Therefore, Su Xinghui deserved the most credit for this cadre assessment system.

But Su Xinghui didn't claim any credit at all, but instead attributed the credit to Zhao Yichen. This was too sensible.

Now Zhao Yichen really needed such political achievements because he was determined to enter the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee after the change of term this year. He was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Although the economic construction of Baozhou City would not leave out his credit, discerning people knew that the credit for Baozhou's economic construction mainly belonged to Su Xinghui. Zhao Yichen couldn't shamelessly grab all the credit.

Therefore, he had to do what the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee should do, which was cadre work. Coincidentally, this cadre assessment system was within the scope of his main work.

Now, this cadre assessment system had attracted the attention of the Provincial Party Committee, which increased Zhao Yichen's hope of entering the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. How could he not be happy?

Zhao Yichen said, "Xinghui, you have done a lot of work for this cadre assessment system. This cannot be erased."

Su Xinghui said, "I just put forward some immature opinions. If it weren't for your rich experience in organizational work, this assessment system wouldn't have been pushed forward so smoothly, and the implementation effect wouldn't have been so good."

Su Xinghui's words were not entirely flattery. This cadre assessment system was indeed able to be pushed forward so quickly in the whole city and implemented in place because of Zhao Yichen's full support.

Zhao Yichen nodded slightly and said, "Xinghui, the Provincial Party Committee has already noticed our Baozhou City's cadre assessment system. It is said that Secretary Gan is coming to Baozhou for an inspection early next month. He mainly wants to see the implementation situation and effect of our city's cadre assessment system."

It was already the end of June. If Gan Yuru was coming to Baozhou early next month, there were only a few days left. No wonder Zhao Yichen called Su Xinghui to discuss it today.

This year was a year of change of term. It was important to Zhao Yichen, and it was equally important to Gan Yuru. He also wanted to go one step further in this change of term election.

It should be said that during Gan Yuru's term, Yabei Province's performance was quite bright. For example, he successfully controlled the situation in Yabei Province, and Yabei Province's economic development speed had significantly improved. These had become his political capital.

However, political capital was something the more the better. For example, the reform of the cadre assessment system, if done well, would also be a thick piece of political capital. Therefore, Gan Yuru had always been very concerned about Baozhou City's cadre assessment system. Last time, he let the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee promote it to the whole province, and this time, he was going to Baozhou City to inspect it in person.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao, then I must congratulate you!"

Zhao Yichen smiled with satisfaction and said, "This matter is thanks to you. This time when Secretary Gan comes to Baozhou, you must accompany him throughout the whole process. Secretary Gan appreciates you very much!"

Gan Yuru coming to Baozhou was an affirmation of Baozhou City's cadre assessment system reform, which was of course a great thing for Zhao Yichen, so Su Xinghui would congratulate him.
