Zhou Zhiyuan had to explain, "Secretary Zheng, you really misunderstood. I don't have any improper thoughts about them. All I have in my heart and eyes is you! As for my relationship with Secretary Jin Xiaoyan and Secretary Bao Ting, it's increasingly becoming a 'power alliance.' After all, they are truly municipal Party secretaries at the level of a provincial department, already among the ranks of senior leaders. It's an honor for me to form an alliance with them."
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting said, "Of course I know you've allied with them, and I also know you're very capable and adept at leveraging your relationships. But I want to remind you not to forget your original aspirations and mission, not to be seduced by power and profit, and not to lose sight of your principles and bottom line."
Zhou Zhiyuan said, "Secretary Zheng, rest assured that I will never forget that I am a Party member and a cadre serving the people. I will uphold my beliefs and ideals and will not be shaken by any difficulties or setbacks."
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting said, "That's good. I trust you. Actually, I'm not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you. I just want to remind you that on your career path, you must always remain sober and vigilant, constantly improve your political literacy and abilities, and make greater contributions to the Party and the people."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Secretary Zheng, I will keep your teachings in mind. I will try my best to do my best and live up to your expectations."
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting said, "That's good. Do you have any other questions or ideas?"
Zhou Zhiyuan said, "Secretary Zheng, I'd like to ask, regarding this personnel adjustment, do you have any specific arrangements?"
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting deliberately said, "This personnel adjustment was decided by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. We are only the implementing department. I don't know the specific arrangements. You can ask the relevant leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department."
Zhou Zhiyuan shrugged and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you Secretary Zheng. Actually, I have some thoughts on this personnel adjustment. If I have the opportunity, I would like to report to the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department."
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting said, "Okay, feel free to report any ideas you have. As long as they are beneficial to our work, I will support you."
Zhou Zhiyuan said, "Thank you, Secretary Zheng. Your support and trust in me are my greatest motivation. I would also like to ask you for a favor."
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting said, "What's the favor? Tell me."
Zhou Zhiyuan said, "Secretary Zheng, as you know, I've worked in the Municipal Party Committee Office for many years and have made some achievements, but I've never been promoted. I'd like to ask you to speak well of me and recommend me to the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department."
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting remained serious, saying, "Well, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I think you still have to rely on your own abilities and performance to win the recognition and appreciation of your leaders. You have to understand that there are no shortcuts on the road to officialdom. Only through your own hard work and struggle can you achieve success."
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said, "Secretary Zheng, I know what you said makes sense, but I don't want to miss this opportunity. You also know that this personnel adjustment is a good opportunity. If I can be promoted, I can better display my talents and make greater contributions to the Party and the people."
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting said, "Well, you have to understand that this personnel adjustment affects the interests and futures of many people, and it's not something I can decide alone. Furthermore, the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department will conduct a comprehensive investigation and evaluation of each person and won't just listen to my opinion. So, I suggest you maintain a calm mind, do your job well, and don't worry or become overly anxious."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Secretary Zheng, I understand everything you said!"
Zhou Zhiyuan had no choice but to say this because he knew very well that Secretary Zheng Xiaoting didn't want to let him go.
Secretary Zheng Xiaoting needs Zhou Zhiyuan too much, however, she has no way to destroy her alliance with Secretary Jin Xiaoyan. After all, the current director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, Jin Xiaotong, is Jin Xiaoyan's sister.
What's more, Jin Xiaoyan is young and promising, and she is very good at everything she does. She works perfectly with Zhou Zhiyuan, the executive deputy director, to make the municipal party committee office flourish and to make Secretary Zheng Xiaoting feel happy at her job.
The reason why Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to seize this opportunity was that he didn't want to destroy some existing things.
After all, Zhou Zhiyuan has a good relationship with Secretary Jin Xiaoyan, even closer than his relationship with Secretary Bao Ting.
The relationship between Zhou Zhiyuan and Jin Xiaotong is that of superiors and subordinates in the Municipal Party Committee Office, but in private, the two are more like friends.
The friendship between them was built through their work day after day.
Although Zhou Zhiyuan is the executive deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office and also serves as Secretary Zheng's personal secretary, he never puts on airs and treats his subordinates very kindly.
Jin Xiaotong is a lively and cheerful feminist who always gets along well with Zhou Zhiyuan.
The interaction between the two also made other employees of the Municipal Party Committee Office and even the Municipal Party Committee compound feel very warm.
Jin Xiaoyan is Jin Xiaotong's biological sister, and she cares about her sister very much.
She knew that her sister worked in the Municipal Party Committee Office and often met all kinds of people, so she repeatedly warned her sister not to provoke Zhou Zhiyuan.
She told her sister that Zhou Zhiyuan was not just a "diamond bachelor" with a net worth of over 10 billion yuan. He and his younger brother Zhou Zhibiao had a strong alliance and had an influence that could not be underestimated in Yuebei City and even the entire province.
The Zhou Dynasty Group and Chairman Zhou Zhibiao's business are thriving and they are also making great strides on the international stage.
Their success is not only due to their business acumen, but also to their kindness and compassion.
Chairman Zhou Zhibiao and Zhou Zhiyuan have joined forces to do a lot of charity work in Yuebei City and even the entire province, especially extending a helping hand to vulnerable groups such as left-behind children and lonely elderly people.
Their good deeds have benefited many people and won them wide acclaim in society.
After listening to her sister's words, Jin Xiaotong gained a deeper understanding of Zhou Zhiyuan.
She knew that Zhou Zhiyuan was a very talented and charming person, but she also knew that he was a very kind and loving person.
Her respect for him also deepened.
She thought that she must work hard and make greater contributions to the Municipal Party Committee Office and Secretary Zheng Xiaoting!
Director Jin Xiaotong then developed an admiration and friendship for Executive Deputy Director Zhou Zhiyuan, so much so that in the dead of night, she would toss and turn, her mind full of random thoughts, so realistic that the scene felt so real that she felt hot all over!
