Chu Miaohong, who was combing her hair, thought for a moment.
She suddenly felt a little annoyed, so she simply leaned in her husband's arms.
"In 1979, I was promoted to officer at school, and then worked in the Municipal Youth League Committee. Before this internship, I went to D School for further study for a month. My position as chief section officer is being changed to deputy section officer, and my salary is level 20."
She hesitated slightly and looked up at her husband.
Zhang Hongcheng seemed to understand something.
"You don't want to go to either side?"
"When you took medicine as an elective and earned a medical degree, I knew something was up. Is Grandpa trying to get you into the Ministry of Health?"
Chu Miaohong shook her head and smiled.
"It's not like I have to be a doctor. I've thought about it."
"We two are considered to be favored by the higher-ups and can choose for ourselves, so I won't rush to confirm the assignment."
"Once your assignment is decided, I'll decide mine..."
"If you stay, I'll stay too. If you want to go down, the children and I will accompany you."
What more could a husband ask for with a wife like this?
Zhang Hongcheng smiled bitterly and could only whisper to his wife what he had kept in his heart for the past few days.
"Actually, a few days ago, Director Jie took me to meet the principal."
"I'm most likely not going to stay in the ministry, but will go directly...to an office under the Government Affairs Department for an internship."
Chu Miaohong was happy at first, but then looked at him in confusion.
"This is a great thing. What are you worried about?"
Zhang Hongcheng smiled and shook his head.
"I was at the principal's office, along with leaders from the Organization Department. They said I should have been promoted one level higher in 1979 based on my merits and seniority. After careful consideration, the organization has decided to complete the necessary formalities for me, and the difference in salary over the past two years will soon be reimbursed to me..."
Chu Miaohong grabbed his hand in surprise.
"So you're a deputy director now? What rank are you assigned?"
"Level 16."
Chu Miaohong suddenly understood something. The higher-ups suddenly gave Zhang Hongcheng an additional level of promotion record from 1979. This clearly meant that Zhang Hongcheng would be promoted to director in half a year!
Twenty-nine years old!
"Didn't you say you were going to an office under the General Office? You're being given such a high starting point, so what exactly do you want to do there?!"
Seeing the worry on Chu Miaohong's face, Zhang Hongcheng smiled and patted her on the back.
"Don't overthink it. I'm not being asked to lead the charge. It's just that although the economy has been open for several years, some places and departments still haven't been able to liberate their minds, and some work is progressing very slowly. So FGW is going to send a group of inspectors and researchers down there."
(At this time, inspectors and investigators had not yet been formally classified.)
"The comrades who were going to be sent down there are all experienced, but I was the only one who was selected, a recent graduate. That's why my rank was temporarily raised to deputy director level so that I can carry out the research work."
Chu Miaohong suddenly realized.
"Then won't you be leaving the capital more often?!"
"That's why I'm so confused," Zhang Hongcheng said, hugging his wife. "Director Xie said I can only study in the office until March, and then I might be sent out to do research."
"If I want to be promoted steadily in the next six months, I must not make any mistakes this time, and I have to stay for about six months."
Chu Miaohong also hugged him back.
"I don't want you to be away for so long. I'm afraid the child won't recognize you by then!"
“Is the researcher’s job complicated?”
"Fortunately, investigators are not inspectors. They don't need to get involved in actual work. Their main job is to report to their superiors on the progress of work and the actual situations they encounter."
......
Starting from mid-January 1982, graduates of the Class of 1977 of Minzu University began to leave the school and enter the offices of various ministries or provincial departments for internships.
The highly anticipated Zhang Hongcheng went to an office under the Government Affairs Department for an internship alone, which made countless people envious.
In the end, Chu Miaohong did not choose to stay in the Youth League Committee, which had the greatest room for improvement, or in her favorite medical system, but went to the Ministry of Culture.
Zhang Hongcheng was unable to convince her either. He knew that his wife's choice was simply because the Ministry of Culture would often organize visiting teams to go to local areas.
According to the Ministry of Culture’s practice, the selection of personnel and locations for dispatched missions generally gives priority to couples who are separated from each other.
Among the entire class of 1977, few people thought there was anything wrong with Zhang Hongcheng's internship in an office under the Government Affairs Department.
Even Kou Yuting and Yue Shuhong, who were squeezed out by Zhang Hongcheng, did not raise any objections.
Because there is no comparison at all, but some people still feel unwilling to accept it, such as Lin Siyuan.
She felt that Zhang Hongcheng's existence seriously affected Yue Shuhong's career development.
The reason why Lin Siyuan had such a vain idea was due to the change in attitude of the parents of both the Yue family and the Lin family.
The parents of the two families seem to be showing signs of officially getting married.
However, Yue Shuhong failed to be selected for internship in the State Council, which greatly disappointed Lin's parents, and they lost interest in getting married.
This almost made Lin Siyuan anxious.
However, her intelligence did not allow her to confront Zhang directly. Instead, she secretly asked someone to go to the Northeast to investigate Zhang Hongcheng's background and past.
Lin Siyuan believes that no one's past is completely innocent!
She will definitely find something that Zhang Hongcheng doesn't want others to know.
The eight people in dormitory 314 officially had a farewell drink on January 15th.
Boss Yu originally wanted to join the Guanghui Daily, but for some reason he ended up going to the supervisory department. His wife and children are now in Beijing, living in their own small three-bedroom apartment.
In the past two years, thanks to Zhang Hongcheng's "inadvertent" guidance, everyone in the dormitory has made some money through tutoring and submitting articles in a reasonable way.
