505: Chapter 505 The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely.

Glancing at Director Xiao Xueli, who looked slightly excited, Qin Chuan nodded. "Director Xiao, there is an opportunity now to leave Jiangnan University and work in a government department. I would like to ask for your personal opinion on whether you are willing to go."

"I'll go, I want to go!" Almost without thinking, Director Xiao Xueli answered immediately.

Such a good opportunity must be firmly grasped.

Leaving Jiangnan University to work in a government department would provide much greater room for development; the sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap.

Having spent over a decade at Jiangnan University, he had accumulated enough experience and had also obtained a doctorate. Going to a government department would mean an entirely different career prospect. He almost didn't even ask whether this government appointment was a lateral transfer or a promotion.

Qin Chuan nodded again with satisfaction. He hadn't even mentioned the rank or position, yet Director Xiao Xueli had agreed to go immediately; he certainly hadn't disappointed him.

"Director Xiao, then prepare yourself. The organization will speak with you very soon. Your destination this time is Xilin City, Northwest Province."

Director Xiao Xueli nodded vigorously. Xilin City was a sub-provincial city and an ancient capital of six dynasties. It had developed well over the years. Going there, he would have great potential and would surely be able to achieve something significant.

Qin Chuan continued, "You will go to Xilin City to serve as a member of the Municipal Standing Committee, Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee."

What! Director Xiao Xueli looked at Qin Chuan in disbelief.

This was a promotion, and a significant one at that!

After recovering from the shock, Director Xiao Xueli tried hard to control the surprise and excitement in his heart. "Secretary, thank you, thank you for your support."

Qin Chuan said, "You go first and act as my vanguard. Before long, I will also go to Northwest Province to take up a post."

What, you are also leaving Jiangnan University to work in Northwest Province? Having heard not a whisper of this beforehand, the news came as a great shock to Director Xiao Xueli. He was stunned for a moment before feeling happy for Qin Chuan.

"Secretary, can you disclose what position you will hold in Northwest Province, so that I can be prepared?"

Qin Chuan did not hide it. "The organization intends for me to leave Jiangnan University and go to Northwest Province to serve as a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Deputy Secretary, and concurrently as the Municipal Party Secretary of Xilin City."

Upon hearing this, Director Xiao Xueli was shocked again, then said, "Secretary, congratulations. Rest assured, once I arrive in Xilin City, I will definitely prepare the ground well for you."

Qin Chuan instructed, "Regarding my destination, the organization has not yet issued official documents, so do not disclose it to the outside world for the time being."

"Secretary, rest assured, I understand this much."

"Alright, go busy yourself, especially with the handover of work. I think the organization will speak with you within two days. Also, send Secretary Yuan Hua to me."

Within two minutes, Secretary Yuan Hua knocked on the door and entered. "Leader, you called for me."

Qin Chuan got straight to the point. "Little Yuan, I want to ask for your opinion. I am about to leave Jiangnan University for Northwest Province to take up a post. Will you come with me, or stay at Jiangnan University?"

As a deputy ministerial-level leader, the organization allowed Qin Chuan to bring his secretary along.

Secretary Yuan Hua was stunned for a moment, likely not expecting it to be so sudden that his leader was actually leaving Jiangnan Province. After recovering, he immediately made his decision. "Leader, I would still like to follow you and continue working by your side."

"Good, then prepare yourself. I expect you will go first." After chatting for a few sentences, he watched Secretary Yuan Hua leave.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly. This secretary was quite good and very easy to work with. Taking him along would save the trouble of finding a new secretary.

Two days later. The organization's appointment regarding Director Xiao Xueli arrived at Jiangnan University, and immediately, many people were surprised. Especially envious.

A member of the Standing Committee of a sub-provincial capital city, concurrently serving as the Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office and Secretary-General—this was a huge step.

If nothing unexpected happened, reaching the level of a provincial leader before retirement shouldn't be a problem; it was much better than staying at Jiangnan University forever.

Some who were on good terms even inquired privately about what channels Director Xiao Xueli had used, but he just smiled without speaking, not saying a single word.

Following Director Xiao Xueli, not two days later, the transfer order for Secretary Yuan Hua also arrived, requiring him to report to the Xilin Municipal Party Committee Office.

Many people were speculating that since Secretary Yuan Hua was Secretary Qin Chuan's secretary, this cross-provincial transfer meant that Secretary Qin Chuan's position might also be changing.

President Wang Shuguo finally found time from his busy research work and took the initiative to go to Secretary Qin Chuan's office. "Comrade Qin Chuan, tell me the truth, are you also about to leave Jiangnan University?"

Qin Chuan looked apologetic. "President Wang, I was just about to look for you. The organization just spoke with me and required me to go to Northwest Province to take up a post."

Logically speaking, for the transfer of a university Party Committee Secretary, the organization should first seek the opinion of the university president, President Wang Shuguo, or at least inform him in advance. However, Qin Chuan was different; everything was being operated directly by the Qin Family.

"President Wang, I originally intended to inform you in advance, but nothing was finalized, so I didn't know how to say it."

President Wang Shuguo said, "I don't mind these things. It's just that your departure makes me reluctant. With you serving as the university Party Committee Secretary, I feel at ease, and all aspects of the school's work have been managed excellently. I really don't wish for someone else to take over."

Qin Chuan comforted him. "Comrade Wang Shuguo, the world will keep turning regardless of who leaves. Trust the organization. After I leave, they will certainly arrange for an even more outstanding comrade to come."

The two chatted for a while. Knowing that Qin Chuan was getting a promotion this time, President Wang Shuguo didn't say anything more and offered his congratulations, but the reluctance in his heart was still clearly palpable.

Gradually, the news spread among the senior leadership of Jiangnan University, and everyone learned one after another that Qin Chuan was about to be transferred from Jiangnan University to Northwest Province to take up a post.

Some quick-witted people visited Qin Chuan's office very frequently, making various side inquiries, and even clearly expressing their hope that Qin Chuan would recommend them to the higher organization to take over the position of university Party Committee Secretary.

Facing this situation, Qin Chuan just smiled and told them that the organization would have full consideration and arrangements regarding who would eventually serve as the university Party Committee Secretary.

Before leaving, Qin Chuan made some arrangements and adjustments for those under him.

For example, Police Chief Yan Jiandong, who had always been loyal to him, was promoted a step further, which could be considered a reward for his hard work and loyalty over the past year or so.

Deputy Minister Xie Dongsheng of the Logistics Department had always performed well, so Qin Chuan also added to his responsibilities. With everything arranged properly, the organization's appointment documents arrived at Jiangnan University.

The Central Committee decided to remove Comrade Qin Chuan from the position of Party Committee Secretary of Jiangnan University, for other appointments.

Although the content was short, it caused a great stir at Jiangnan University. When this document was posted on Jiangnan University's official website and displayed on the bulletin board, the vast number of faculty and students finally knew that their beloved Secretary Qin Chuan was about to leave Jiangnan University.
