When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.
With no backing, Li Lin's polit...
But Zhao Jie did not choose to point it out. What he had to do now was to watch more and talk less, and wait until the time was right to squeeze out all the abscesses.
"Director Zhao, look, this is the tax processing area. The two rows of computers are used to facilitate people to handle taxes. And those employees in uniform are all sent here by the tax bureau." Liu Li pointed to the tax processing area and introduced.
Zhao Jie looked around and found that the tax bureau staff were not sitting in front of the computer to help the people answer questions, but gathered in a corner, talking and laughing, without paying any attention to the people who were doing business. Even when the people came to ask them questions, they showed impatient expressions.
Is this serving the people? They are just here to get by and get paid, right?
It would be better not to have them around!
What's even more infuriating is that a male tax bureau employee was sitting at his workstation playing with his phone in public, seemingly playing games. When someone came to ask him a question, he waved his hand and asked them to wait a moment...
Zhao Jie was so angry that he walked up to the tax officer and questioned him, "Comrade, why are you playing with your phone during working hours instead of working properly?"
The staff member raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Jie, then asked in a tough tone, "Who are you? Is it your turn to meddle in what I want to do? I've been busy for a long time, can't I take a break?..."
The staff member moved his lips twice, as if he was saying something swearing.
Zhao Jie was born in the military, so he had a very hot temper. He frowned and was about to reprimand the staff member, but unexpectedly Liu Li squeezed over and quickly introduced him to the staff member, "Xiao Wang, this is Director Zhao, our new director in the hall. You can't talk to your boss in this manner. Put your phone away and get back to work!"
When the staff member named Xiao Wang heard that Zhao Jie was the new director, he was stunned for a second or two and showed an expression of disbelief.
In his impression, a person who could become the director of the management office had to be at least in his 40s or 50s. He did not expect that Director Zhao, who was only in his twenties, was already a section-level cadre. If Liu Li had not introduced him, he would not have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
Because the county promotes people based on seniority, there are very few exceptions to promotions.
Xiao Wang was a little surprised, but only for a moment.
The surprised expression on his face gradually turned into a chuckle, and he thought, so what even if the person in front of him is the director?
I'm from the tax bureau and I get paid by the state, not by you, the director of the management office. It seems like no one would want to work in this approval hall every day... If you don't like me, you can transfer me from the approval hall back to the tax bureau office, and I'd be happy!
But does Director Zhao have this ability?
Why are you showing off in front of me if you don’t have the ability?
Xiao Wang couldn't help but reveal a scornful smile on his face.
But for Liu Li's sake, he temporarily turned off the game and put away his phone. He looked nonchalant and said to the people in line, "Come on, whose turn is it? What do you want to do? Come one by one, my head is buzzing with noise..."
Hu Xiaoxing saw that Zhao Jie's face looked strange and was afraid that he would lose his temper in front of so many people. As a party member and cadre, arguing with others in such an occasion would greatly affect his image.
He quickly tugged at Zhao Jie's sleeve and whispered, "Director Zhao, this is the current atmosphere in the approval hall. Aren't we here to solve these problems? You must not conflict with someone at this time. This will be detrimental to your image and your authority. Director Zhao, please be patient. It won't be too late to deal with them after we understand the situation clearly!"
Hu Xiaoxing was also very angry about the attitude of these window units in the approval hall. However, he knew that losing his temper would not solve any problems. Only by relying on strong institutional constraints could the unhealthy trends here be gradually reversed.
Zhao Jie sighed and gave up the idea of scolding the staff in the hall. He knew that Hu Xiaoxing was right. The current chaotic environment in the approval hall was not caused by one person or one unit, but by the management's negligence.
He is not doing this for Li Lin, but to save his own reputation. He has made up his mind that no matter how hard he tries, he must correct the working attitude of these window units!
"Let's go back to the office!"
Zhao Jie squeezed out a few words expressionlessly, then turned and left.
When Liu Li and Hu Xiaoxing saw that Zhao Jie was in a bad mood, their expressions also became solemn.
They didn't know how the young director of the management office would discipline the staff in the approval hall next.
