Highly recommended:

The propaganda department of the propaganda department is a very important department. Any related ideological issues from above must go through Su Yu before they can be publicized to the lower levels.

This was also a department that Vice Governor Qiu and Secretary Liang specifically selected.

Minister Liu felt somewhat uneasy about giving away such an important department. However, the fact that it was given to Su Yu seemed better than giving it to anyone else, so Minister Liu had mixed feelings.

When Su Yu came to report to him, he deliberately said, "Su, I didn't expect you to have such a connection with our publicity department. You actually came to our publicity department."

Su Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect it either. When you invited me to the Publicity Department last time, I thought I would have to wait for several years. I didn't expect there to be a vacancy, so I applied to Vice Governor Qiu. It's finally here. Minister, you must give me a lot of guidance in the future. If I do anything wrong, please feel free to criticize me. I can definitely take it. As long as I can do my job well and live up to the expectations of the leaders and the people, that's enough."

Minister Liu recalled that he had indeed said something similar to Su Yu in a joke before, but he really was joking at the time.

No matter how good her relationship with Su Yu is, she is still Vice Governor Qiu's confidante, so it wouldn't be good for her to come to the Propaganda Department.

But can he do that now?

Of course, that won't do. Now that things have come to this, Minister Liu smiled and said, "Comrade Su Yu has such awareness and ability; coming to our Propaganda Department would be a great boost. I have great confidence in the Propaganda Department you lead."

After reporting her work to Minister Liu, Su Yu began to reorganize her department.

As a leader, what she cannot tolerate most is having people in her department who outwardly comply but inwardly defy her orders, and whose instructions are sloppy and incomplete.

So they quickly began promoting capable people.

Su Yu wasn't the kind of leader without any background. On the contrary, she came here with a mission, so Vice Governor Qiu gave her strong support, and Minister Liu could only cooperate. Therefore, even the troublemakers in the propaganda department had no power to fight back when facing Su Yu and were quickly and forcefully suppressed. This was also one of the advantages of Su Yu staying in the province; being close to her superiors meant she received more substantial support.

Of course, none of these people were driven away; instead, they were all left aside as bystanders.

Even Minister Hu's nephew from the Ministry of Transport was sidelined by her, becoming a mere figurehead section chief.

Su Yu kept these people around to avoid going too far. After all, the future can change too quickly, and who knows who will have the last laugh?

Moreover, these people are sidelined; they simply no longer have any real authority, yet they still receive their salaries and go to work as usual. They don't even have an excuse to complain anymore.

We can't let people cause trouble for Su Yu just because she, as our leader, doesn't assign us work.

When Minister Hu approached Minister Liu about this matter, Minister Liu was somewhat impatient.

They got in through connections, all they wanted was a job and a salary. Nothing has changed, so what more do they want?

“Old Hu, you’re in charge of a department too. You know how difficult it is for us leaders. We can’t possibly micromanage everything for the department heads below us. How are they supposed to work then? Don’t put me in a difficult position. As a department head, am I supposed to ask Comrade Su Yu to assign specific tasks to a section chief? Wouldn’t that just leave me with nothing to do?”

Minister Hu felt he had been humiliated and said sternly, "Old Liu, you're not protecting Comrade Su Yu just because you're close to her family, are you?"

Minister Liu immediately retorted angrily, "What are you talking about? If I were that kind of person, I would be protecting your nephew. If we're talking about personal relationships, my relationship with you over the years is surely longer than that with Comrade Su Yu."

Normally, Minister Hu would have listened to this, but now that his nephew has been sidelined and is treated as a useless figurehead in the department, the other people in the propaganda department will definitely laugh at him.

Moreover, Lao Liu is from the same faction as him, yet he didn't even help him save face. What does this mean? It means that Lao Liu has changed his stance.

Of course, he had his own thoughts, but he wouldn't say them aloud. He just muttered, "I'm just angry. Oh well. I'll take care of it. I'll arrange for my nephew to work in our department myself."

Minister Liu said, "Old Hu, you're blaming me for doing this. Why did you have to transfer me out of the way?"

"But I can't just leave him idle. You know, if you don't do anything, how will you get a chance to move up?"

Although Minister Liu was a little angry, he didn't want to really fall out with Minister Hu over this matter, so he suppressed his anger and said, "I'll talk to Su."

In the afternoon, Su Yu was notified to go to Minister Liu's office.

Minister Liu first inquired about Su Yu's work situation.

Seeing Minister Liu's expression, Su Yu guessed what was going on. She already knew that Minister Hu had come that morning. So she deliberately said, "The comrades in the publicity department are very cooperative. I got up to speed quickly too. I'm already in work mode."

Minister Liu had originally wanted to hear Su Yu complain about those troublemakers, but Su Yu didn't mention it at all, which made it difficult for Minister Liu to speak. In the end, he could only say directly, "Minister Hu came over today to talk to me about work, and casually inquired about Comrade Hu Xiangqian's work. I wonder how his work is going."

"Oh, your Comrade Hu Xiangqian, he has a very good work attitude. I think he is suitable for internal affairs work, so I have entrusted him with the internal affairs of the office."
