15: Chapter 15 Reporting In

Otherwise, he would have questioned what kind of impression he actually left on his junior fellow apprentice.

Once the matter is settled, I will be the mayor of a city.

And to reward a contributor, I only give a rankless deputy station chief position?

What a joke.

I wouldn't even give the station chief position; it's too embarrassing.

At the very least, I have to transfer him to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and get him a deputy section-level position with real power.

In reality, people's destinies are always different. With Sun Ning working in the ministry, his exceptional promotion didn't attract any attention at all.

In places like Police Stations, the station chief is only at the stock level.

Although the practice of high-ranking appointments in the Public Security Bureau had gradually begun in 2003.

But Sun Ning knew that currently, in many places in Heyang Province, Police Station chiefs were still at the stock level, and most only enjoyed deputy section-level benefits.

Of course, the actual power between the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Sun Ning was just a handyman at the ministry, though sometimes no one treated him like one.

But the actual power held by a Police Station chief was much greater, and they were a formidable presence within their jurisdiction.

The two drank until midnight.

During this time, Sun Ning told Deputy Chief Wei Minhang very bluntly to pay more attention to the situation regarding the No. 1 Family Residential Compound.

Once he heard any rumors, he must not alert the enemy.

Sun Ning also wanted to use the small bag to set a trap for Zhao Bo and strike a blow to Deputy Secretary Zhao Weicai's prestige.

Otherwise, even if Gao Feng sat in that position, he might not be able to outmaneuver Deputy Secretary Zhao Weicai.

He hoped that through this incident, Gao Feng could spare some energy to cultivate his own people.

The next day, after eating early, Sun Ning followed his itinerary and wandered around Zhongzhou City.

How should he put it?

He could only marvel at the rapid development of the motherland over the past decade or two.

Developing one small city after another into a modern metropolis over the course of a dozen years.

When he walked to his alma mater from his previous life, he also had a feeling of "things remain, but people have changed," as if it were only yesterday.

Sun Ning admitted that he was indeed a rather sentimental person.

Even when he saw a wall he used to be familiar with, he couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time.

In the evening, he declined Gao Feng's invitation and sat alone on the school lawn, lost in thought.

It seemed as if he were bidding farewell to the prime years of his previous life.

Here were countless firsts for him.

The first time he knew what a university looked like, the first time he came to a metropolis, the first time he fell in love...

In his previous life's university days, he was full of curiosity about everything, wanted to try everything, and was full of energy.

In this life, it was as if there was a breath he couldn't swallow; during his university years, apart from studying, he just earned money.

He lost the harmony he had when getting along with his peers.

Thinking about it, in the eyes of those alumni at Yanjing University, he must have been a weirdo.

For a moment, Sun Ning didn't know if his previous life was a dream or if this life was a dream.

When Sun Ning left the university campus of his previous life, he left all the bad memories of his past life at the place where the dream began.

In this life, he would live like a real person.

The next day, Sun Ning once again declined Gao Feng's offer to see him off and boarded the bus to Gongfan County.

An hour and a half later, at the Gongfan County Organization Department, after Sun Ning finished registering, he entered the compound.

With the blessing of his memories from his previous life, he found the general office without any effort.

Logically speaking, he should have just gone directly to Cadre Division 1 to report.

He didn't do that, but instead went to the general office first.

Sun Ning was not the kind of fresh graduate who was naive and followed all the rules and regulations blindly.

What if the Organization Department Minister was interested in you and wanted to meet you personally and take you to Cadre Division 1 to handle the paperwork?

If you just finished it with a snap, how could the Minister show his regard for you?

How would the Minister explain it to Mayor Gao?

Sun Ning didn't believe for a second that Gao Feng hadn't called the County Organization Department Minister.

He knocked on the door of the general office.

Sun Ning asked a staff member sitting by the door: "Hello, comrade. My name is Sun Ning, and I am here to report."

Sun Ning actually knew the green-looking man sitting by the door.

In his previous life, when Sun Ning became the Organization Committee Member of Mishui Township, he often dealt with this deputy section chief of Cadre Division 2.

But back then, his potbelly was always resting on the table.

Unlike his current frail and green appearance.

"Sun Ning? You are Sun Ning? Everyone, come over here quickly! Sun Ning is here!"

A greenhorn!

Sun Ning couldn't help but spit out these four words in his heart.

This person's behavior was completely different from the arrogant and slippery deputy section chief he dealt with in the later years.

Sure enough, time is a butcher's knife.

Watching the five or six people in the general office all looking at him.

Envy, admiration, respect, reverence—everyone had a different mindset.

Sun Ning had absolutely no intention of being treated like a monkey, so he quickly introduced himself.

"Hello everyone, I am Sun Ning, the proposed Deputy Party Secretary and Acting Township Head of Mishui Township, and I am here to report today."

Sun Ning said this neither humble nor arrogant; to others' ears, there was not a hint of showing off.

He understood these people's reactions, because in his previous life, he would have had the same reaction.

He didn't dare say he was the youngest substantive section-level cadre in Heyang Province, but he was definitely the youngest section-level cadre in Zhongzhou City.

For Gongfan County, this situation was no less than launching a major satellite.

These people were all from the Organization Department, the famous gossips of the county.

His resume had long been the talk of the Organization Department.

Perhaps just a moment ago, the office was still discussing that the youngest Township Head in the county was coming to report today.

Otherwise, the 'Deputy Section Chief' comrade's reaction could not be explained.

"Early in the morning, making such a racket, what does this look like?"

Just then, a voice feigning authority came from inside.

That office was not a separate office, but a large open room with a little space specially partitioned off.

Therefore, the soundproofing was very poor.

That was why there was the scene of the Office Director coming out to reprimand them.

Sun Ning didn't wait for anyone else to speak and introduced himself directly: "Hello, Director Zhang. I am Sun Ning, and I am here to report today."

"Oh my, Township Head Sun, hello, hello."

Upon hearing it was Sun Ning, Director Zhang hurriedly shook hands with him.

"The Minister notified me as soon as he arrived that as soon as you came over, I should take you to his office immediately."

"Director Zhang is too polite. I will still need to trouble you to take me there."

No ridicule, no looking down on him, not even the slightest setback; Sun Ning smoothly met one of the thirteen giants of the county.

There are no fools among those who can enter the system.

On the contrary, they are the group that gathers the vast majority of the elite in a place.

Putting aside Sun Ning's bearing, just saying that if Sun Ning were an ordinary person, he might not even be able to enter the gate of the County Organization Department.

So, without figuring out this person's background, who would rashly offend someone coming to report?

Even if the 'Deputy Section Chief' didn't know who Sun Ning was, at most he would just be indifferent.

Even the old man guarding the gate was relatively polite, although Sun Ning had to pay a pack of Yuxi cigarettes just to find out the Office Director's name.

The County Organization Department office, to put it plainly, is there to serve the Minister.

Therefore, they work on the same floor as the Minister.

Director Zhang walked to the door and gently knocked on it.

"Come in!"
