131: Chapter 131 Secretary Qin, I can't bear to see you go.

Qin Chuan was staying at the County Party Committee Guest House.

It was a private suite with excellent conditions, not inferior to an average star-rated hotel. Sitting on the sofa in the room, he thought about the matters that needed to be arranged before he left.

The mobile phone in his pocket rang.

He took it out and saw that it was County Party Committee Secretary County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong calling. As soon as the call connected, his voice came through, "Comrade Qin Chuan, have you finished dinner yet?"

"Secretary Zhang, hello, I just finished."

"I just finished as well," County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong said. "How about coming out for some tea?"

Seeing that it was still quite early, only a little past seven in the evening, Qin Chuan readily agreed. He guessed that Secretary Zhang must have heard some news, and it was a good opportunity for him to have a chat with him as well.

Soon after, Qin Chuan arrived at the teahouse mentioned by County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong. Pushing open the door to the private room, he saw that Secretary Zhang had already arrived and was brewing tea himself.

"Come, please sit down and taste this tea."

Qin Chuan sat down, picked up the tea, took a light sip, and gave a thumbs up.

The two chatted casually while sipping tea, and then County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong got to the main topic.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, I heard you are being transferred away from Sanjiang County."

"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded without concealment, "At eleven o'clock this morning, Deputy Director Tang Guojun from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee spoke with me; I am to be transferred to Jianning City to serve as the Director of the Market Supervision Bureau."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong appeared happier than anyone else.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, congratulations. This is a significant step forward. This is a department-level position, and not just any ordinary one; the Market Supervision Bureau holds great power. It is truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion to ascend to such a position."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and humbly said, "I personally feel apprehensive, fearing that I might fail to live up to the organization's expectations of me."

"You can rest assured about that. I am very clear about your abilities, and I am certain you will achieve outstanding results in this new position."

After chatting for a while and offering congratulations several times, County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong said, "Comrade Qin Chuan, you will soon leave Dahe Township. Do you have a recommended candidate for the position of Township Party Committee Secretary?"

It was evident that County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong still respected Qin Chuan very much.

He did not immediately arrange for his own person to take the position of Dahe Township Party Committee Secretary because of Qin Chuan's transfer, but instead proactively asked for Qin Chuan's opinion.

As for who should be the top leader of Dahe Township, Qin Chuan had already thought it through, "Ma Zhengnan is excellent. I would be very at ease if he were to become the Township Party Committee Secretary."

"Good, the County Party Committee will fully consider your recommendation."

Afterward, the two drank tea and chatted about work-related matters for at least an hour before parting ways.

During this time, Qin Chuan received at least a dozen calls, all congratulating him. It seemed the news had already spread.

The next day, Qin Chuan arrived at Dahe Township early in the morning.

The first thing he did upon starting work was to immediately convene an enlarged meeting of the Party Committee.

At the meeting, Qin Chuan spoke about his own situation, informing everyone that he would be leaving Dahe Township to take up a post in Jianning City.

He made a series of work arrangements and conducted a series of personnel adjustments; all items were passed unanimously.

With that, everything was basically arranged properly.

After the meeting adjourned, Qin Chuan called Ma Zhengnan to his office alone.

"Old Ma, I have recommended you to the organization to serve as the Township Party Committee Secretary."

Ma Zhengnan was moved to tears, "Thank you, thank you, Secretary Qin!"

Qin Chuan nodded slightly and then exhorted, "Currently, the development situation in our Dahe Township is excellent. You just need to continue executing the policies and plans I have formulated."

Ma Zhengnan promised, "Secretary, rest assured. I will not change these things of yours; I will definitely execute them firmly."

Qin Chuan nodded again and continued to exhort, "Our township's yellow peaches are excellent. You must continue to promote the incentive policies. I originally wanted to introduce one or two well-known enterprises to invest and build professional yellow peach processing enterprises to deeply process our township's yellow peaches, but I am leaving soon, and there is no time. I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes, we will definitely do a good job with the yellow peach industry, safeguard the development of this industry, and introduce investment as soon as possible to establish professional yellow peach deep-processing enterprises."

Qin Chuan said, "The universal free education and free medical care promoted throughout our township have just started, and there are still many areas that need to be perfected and improved. You will need to put in more effort in the future..."

The two talked in the office about work-related matters for at least nearly two hours, mainly with Qin Chuan giving a series of instructions.

Ma Zhengnan listened carefully and recorded all the items in his notebook one by one.

No one came to disturb them, and even phone calls were rare, because everyone knew that Secretary Qin Chuan was giving a series of instructions before his departure.

The news spread further across the township, and even the ordinary people knew about it.

"I heard Secretary Qin is being transferred away!"

"I heard it too. Everyone is talking about it. Such a good leader is being transferred; it is a great loss for our Dahe Township!"

"I have lived for over eighty years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a good leader!"

"If only Secretary Qin could always be the leader of our Dahe Township, that would be so great. I really don't want him to leave!"

"..."

The ordinary people were all talking about Qin Chuan's upcoming transfer, each one expressing deep reluctance.

It was such a pity; if such a good leader could work in Dahe Township for a few more years, that would be wonderful!

The appointment came down very quickly. Within two days, the official appointment from the organization arrived. In addition to the paper appointment, there was also an announcement regarding Qin Chuan's appointment on the official government website.

In the office, Xie Xiaoyu was carefully helping Qin Chuan pack his things. It was evident that she was filled with reluctance.

She had only been Qin Chuan's secretary for such a short time; she wanted to be with Secretary Qin every day and wanted to continue being his secretary for three or five years at least.

This period was also the happiest time since she started working. Every day she saw Secretary Qin, she felt an inexplicable sense of ease and joy in her heart, and she was full of energy in her work every day.

However, Qin Chuan did not treat her unfairly and had secured a deputy section-level rank for her.

"Leader, are you really leaving early tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, I will leave early tomorrow morning without disturbing anyone. I will return to the provincial capital first, rest for a few days, and then go to Jianning City to take up my post."

"Leader, can you take me with you? I want to continue being your secretary." Xie Xiaoyu's eyes were red, filled with hope.

This was not the first time she had said this; she had expressed it countless times already.

If he were a department-level cadre, it would be normal to bring a secretary along, and he would have the authority to do so. But Qin Chuan was only a division-level cadre, and it was an inter-city transfer, so it was very inconvenient to bring a secretary along.

"Xiaoyu, are you reluctant to see me go?"

"Yes." Xie Xiaoyu nodded, "Leader, please take me with you."

Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly, "I can't. The organization does not allow it. You should work with peace of mind in Sanjiang County. When I have time, I will come back to see everyone."

With a wail, Xie Xiaoyu couldn't help but burst into tears.
