All night long, everyone in the Su family except Su Yu was restless. Their eldest sister was going to be a government official; things were truly different for the Su family now.
Everything my sister said about being with them has come true.
Only Su Yu was still quietly looking at the geography review materials that Secretary Song had given her. It covered all the knowledge from middle school.
After reading more than ten pages, she rubbed her eyes and prepared to sleep. Reading at night is bad for the eyes, and she couldn't read for too long. After all, glasses these days are quite heavy, and she didn't want to have to wear them on her face later.
She placed the review materials on the bedside table before lying down, staring at the dark ceiling. She recalled how attentive Secretary Song had been earlier.
"They're still young, and I don't know how long they can keep it up."
Anyway, so far, I'm one of the ones who has persisted the longest.
...
The next morning, the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department arranged for an officer to deliver the transfer order to the textile factory. Su Yu also took leave to go back home, as some work needed to be handed over; she couldn't just leave without doing anything.
Secretary Song also followed along under the pretext of official business.
The person who delivered the transfer order this time was Officer Xu from the Organization Department, who was also a young man.
The three of them went by bicycle. Officer Xu rode a municipal party committee vehicle, Secretary Song rode his own bicycle, and Su Yu was on the back. He was glad he had come along, otherwise Su Yu would have been riding on someone else's bicycle today.
When Officer Xu learned that Su Yu would be a new colleague at the municipal government, he exchanged a few pleasantries with her, saying, "Comrade Su Yu, welcome to work at the municipal party committee."
"Thank you, Officer Xu. I'm very grateful for your help today."
Secretary Song said with a smile as she rode her bicycle, "I already helped bring it over, but he wouldn't allow it." So who's to blame?
Xu, the staff member, said apologetically, "Secretary Song, how could I trouble you? You're Mayor Qiu's chief secretary, you're always so busy." Even the leaders in their organization department had to give the chief secretary some face, he wouldn't dare to order people around.
Secretary Song said warmly, "Even when you're busy, you still find time to care about your comrades. Ming, don't be so polite with me in the future."
Hearing Secretary Song's enthusiasm, Officer Xu said with delight, "Secretary Song, if you're so kind, then I really won't hold back from now on."
Secretary Song smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Why don't you give me the transfer order now and I'll deliver it to you? Go have some fun. You work so hard, go shopping and relax."
Officer Xu: "..."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Secretary Song was just joking with you. I've heard that Secretary Song is humorous, and today I've finally witnessed it for myself."
Xu, the clerk, quickly replied with a smile, "I understand, Secretary Song is too humorous."
Secretary Song slammed on the pedals, leaving Director Xu behind.
Xu, the clerk, quickly caught up, "Secretary Song, slow down!"
"Director Xu, hurry up, cherish your time," Secretary Song said with a smile without turning her head.
As the car sped up, Su Yu became restless and grabbed the car, saying, "Secretary Song, if you drop me, I'll never forgive you!"
"..."
When they arrived at the factory, Grandpa Zhang saw Su Yu return and greeted her warmly, "Director Su, have you finished your business?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Not yet, I have some things to take care of when I got back."
To make it seem like a proper ceremony, Secretary Song and Cadre Xu went to the factory committee to deliver the transfer order, while Su Yu went to the trade union office to report the situation to Chairman Sun.
Chairman Sun is currently in charge of the second phase of housing construction, and Su Yu is not around. Although the work can be assigned to others, it just doesn't feel right.
Especially after Mayor Qiu called him about Su Yu's departure, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
A supposedly good secondment arrangement turned out to be a one-way trip with no return. And what's the point of trying to communicate with him? Is he going to stop us?
So when he saw Su Yu return, he was still somewhat saddened. "I knew this would happen. I was somewhat prepared."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Chairman Sun, no matter where I am, I am someone who came from the textile factory and from our trade union. There will be many more opportunities to work together in the future."
Hearing Su Yu say this, Chairman Sun felt relieved. Su was telling him that she would help them out in the future out of consideration for their past relationship.
Thinking about it that way, it's not such a bad thing that Su was transferred out.
"So, who do you think would be a good candidate for this position?" Chairman Sun asked, as was his habit.
Su Yu said, "Chairman Sun, if you don't have anyone in mind, I still think it's appropriate to vote. The masses have discerning eyes."
"Okay, I'll arrange the voting then. Actually, I think Gao is okay, but I don't feel he's reliable enough. Cheng is a girl, but she's very honest. Yan Fang is also a good candidate, but she's getting married, so whether she can focus on her work then is another matter."
In the past, Chairman Sun would have undoubtedly chosen Gao Ming without hesitation, as men are more convenient. However, since Su Yu became his secretary, he has found that women are more attentive. Therefore, he is no longer limiting himself to choosing men.
"Who do you think is better in the service department?" he asked again.
Su Yu smiled and said, "If you don't have a suitable person, I think Tian is quite good. To be honest, during the time I was away, Tian did everything herself. She's really good at her job. Moreover, I've shared some of my management insights with her before, and I think that even if I leave, she can manage everything perfectly well, which is more suitable than finding someone else."
"So the factory committee people took it." Chairman Sun was still somewhat unwilling.
“Chairman Sun, if Tian becomes the director, she won’t be a member of the factory committee anymore; she’ll be a member of our trade union. I promoted her, and now you’re promoting her again. Whose good will she remember? Talented people are hard to come by.”
