465: Chapter 465 Arrangements before leaving Dongjiang City

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time.

Not long after leaving his grandfather's house, Qin Chuan received a call from Chairman Chen Zhixun. "Brother Chuan, shall we have a couple of drinks tonight?"

"Sure." Qin Chuan agreed readily. "Pick a place and send me the location."

"Brother Chuan, I'll come to pick you up. Just wait for me at home."

Chairman Chen Zhixun was very polite. While he was an unreachable "Master Xun" in front of others, he was just a lackey and a little brother in front of Qin Chuan.

And he was proud of it.

For instance, this time, he had inadvertently heard that Brother Chuan might have acquired millions of bitcoins many years ago. Beyond being shocked, he secretly admired him; if it were true, then Brother Chuan was truly formidable.

As the price of bitcoin climbed higher and higher, more and more people paid attention to it. A "coin circle" had even formed in the capital, and Chairman Chen Zhixun was one of its members. He held tens of thousands of bitcoins, which he had bought on Qin Chuan's advice back then.

He hadn't known at the time that Qin Chuan had bought millions of bitcoins. If he had, he certainly wouldn't have just bought tens of thousands. Now, he regretted it a little; if only he had listened to the advice and bought more back then.

However, when they were eating and drinking that evening, Chairman Chen Zhixun asked about bitcoin, but Qin Chuan neither admitted nor denied it, just smiling without a word.

It was better to keep such things as low-key as possible.

Chairman Chen Zhixun wasn't stupid; he immediately realized he had been rash. Although these second-generation heirs and "yanei" he was dining with were all close friends, such things really shouldn't be discussed openly. Low-key, one must be low-key.

He didn't know that Qin Chuan held not just over a million bitcoins, but over two million. At the current market price, it was already an astronomical fortune.

After staying in the capital for three or four days, including the weekend, Qin Chuan attended the regular meeting on Monday morning to listen to everyone's work reports.

After the Monday meeting, Qin Chuan returned to his office and sat down to review several documents. Seeing his secretary, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, enter, he couldn't help but ask.

"Little Zhang, how old are you this year?"

"Secretary, I am 27 years old this year."

In August 2016, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong became the Municipal Party Committees first secretary. Not long after, his deputy section-level issue was resolved. Before he himself left, he should promote him one more time to resolve his full section-level status.

Generally speaking, the Municipal Party Committees first secretary could be a deputy division-level position, but Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong's qualifications were too shallow and he was too young, so he had always been at the deputy section level.

"Little Zhang, you've been with me for nearly two years. Are you interested in going down to the grassroots to gain some experience?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong's first reaction was that his work had made his superior dissatisfied, and that his superior wanted to transfer him away to replace him with a new secretary.

He immediately became a little nervous. "Secretary, is there something about my work that you are not satisfied with?"

Qin Chuan smiled and did not hide it. "You're overthinking it. To tell you the truth, I will be leaving Dongjiang City soon, and before I leave, I want to make arrangements for your work."

So that was it.

Understanding what was going on, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong felt a bit reluctant to part, but at the same time, he felt a heartfelt sense of gratitude. Before his superior left, he had thought of him; he felt that the last year or two had been completely worth it.

"Leader, if possible, I would like to go down to the townships to gain some experience."

Qin Chuan said, "That's fine. Then go to Ningjiang County. You've worked there before and are familiar with the situation there. Go down and serve as a town mayor for two or three years first."

Upon hearing this, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong was excited.

A 27-year-old town mayor, and most importantly, he had helped him resolve his full section-level status. Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong said quickly, "Thank you, Secretary, thank you."

Qin Chuan exhorted, "When you get down there, work hard. Don't embarrass me."

"Secretary, rest assured, I certainly won't embarrass you."

After watching Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong leave, Qin Chuan made another call to summon Deputy Secretary Zhou Nan and Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun over together.

Yesterday afternoon, Qin Chuan arrived in the provincial capital. He had dinner at Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng's home and discussed the work changes with the Provincial Party Secretary.

Such a good cadre with such strong capabilities made Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng feel a bit reluctant to let him go, but he knew this was Elder Qin's intention, and he couldn't stop it.

After chatting for a while, Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng asked for Qin Chuan's opinion on how the leadership team of Dongjiang City should be arranged and adjusted after he left. Qin Chuan did not stand on ceremony and stated his opinions.

Before long, Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun knocked on the door and entered first.

"Secretary, you called for me?"

Qin Chuan nodded. "Please sit. What would you like to drink?"

"Um, I'll help myself."

As the Secretary-General, Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun knew the ropes and made three cups of hot tea himself. Deputy Secretary Zhou Nan arrived very quickly as well. He had originally been presiding over a mayoral office meeting to discuss some matters from the weekly meeting just now, but upon receiving the call, he came over without a word.

"Come, sit, sit."

Qin Chuan greeted the two of them to sit down. He picked up a cup of hot tea himself and began chatting with them while drinking.

First, they chatted for a while about some key work in Dongjiang City, then he changed the subject and revealed, "Comrade Deputy Secretary Zhou Nan, Comrade Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun, I am about to leave Dongjiang City. Future work will depend on you both."

Upon hearing this, the two were stunned.

This news came too suddenly.

Beyond the shock, Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun reacted and asked pleasantly surprised, "Secretary, you are going to be promoted to work in the provincial government, right!"

Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head. He didn't specifically say where he was going to work yet, but instead said, "I chatted with Provincial Party Secretary Zhao Jiasheng for a long time yesterday. I have recommended to the Provincial Party Committee that Comrade Deputy Secretary Zhou Nan serve as the Municipal Party Secretary of Dongjiang City, and Comrade Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun serve as the mayor."

This!!!

The two were stunned again, feeling as if they had been hit by a pie falling from the sky. They were both a bit dazed, especially Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun.

Previously, he was only a Deputy Secretary-General and hadn't even entered the Standing Committee. In just two years, he was about to serve as the mayor of Dongjiang City. This was a huge step.

Deputy Secretary Zhou Nan was also doing well; promoted from mayor to Municipal Party Secretary, he had taken a solid, big step forward.

Beyond the pleasant surprise, the two were full of sincere gratitude.

"Secretary, thank you!"

"Secretary, thank you so much. Rest assured, I will definitely work hard and build Dongjiang City even better."

Qin Chuan nodded slightly and said with a serious expression, "I am about to leave Dongjiang City. This heavy burden is now handed over to you two. The construction of Taohua Airport cannot be relaxed; strive for it to be put into use as soon as possible. Investment in people's livelihoods must continue to increase..."

Qin Chuan began a series of exhortations before leaving.

The two immediately perked up and firmly noted these things down.

Within a day or two, rumors gradually spread, and some well-informed people began to whisper and heatedly discuss the matter of Qin Chuan about to leave Dongjiang City.

"I heard Qin Chuan is leaving!"

"No way, Qin Chuan has only been in charge of Dongjiang for about two years, right? Is he leaving so soon!"

"Although Qin Chuan hasn't been in charge of our Dongjiang for long, the achievements he has made in two years are things others couldn't accomplish in twenty. It's very normal for him to be promoted again!"

"Congratulations to Qin Chuan. I wonder where he will be promoted to!"
