After Vice Governor Qiu went to his office to get busy, Su Yu slipped over to chat with Secretary Cheng.
Secretary Liang and Vice Governor Qiu had a good relationship, and Secretary Cheng and Su Yu naturally developed a deep camaraderie as well.
After Su Yu subtly probed him, he honestly told her about the latest developments.
After National Day, some leaders in Beijing ran into trouble, and it seems several of them have been criticized. For the provincial governments, any move by Beijing is a major event. A single stomp from Beijing can send ripples across the country.
Secretary Liang is a very cautious person, so he strictly controls some unhealthy ideas in the province, fearing that problems might arise.
After hearing this news, Su Yu roughly understood the situation. This was the beginning of things starting to look serious.
Having already prepared herself mentally, Su Yu was slightly surprised, but not by much change. As long as she and Song Dongzheng remained in their positions within the province, things weren't too difficult.
And that's not the time yet. What she needs to do now is to do her job well and strive for even greater success in the future.
When they went to bed that night, Su Yu analyzed the news with Song Dongzheng.
Song Dongzheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Isn't this how it's been all these years? Catching spies, catching big capitalists... it's always like this."
Su Yu said seriously, "Comrade Dongzheng, let me ask you, when is the earliest you can be in charge of Jiangdong City?"
Song Dongzheng was watching his daughter giggle foolishly when he heard Su Yu's serious words, and he also became serious. "Three years, I guess." He thought that was a relatively fast time.
After all, at his age, reaching this position is already a rapid promotion. He feels it would be more appropriate to wait until he's over thirty to climb further. "I've only just been promoted; it's quite difficult to advance any further."
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "No need for further steps, just the actual ability to master it."
"This? A year or two?" Song Dongzheng said. "Mayor Xu is riding high right now, and I don't plan to confront him directly. Comrade Su Yu, don't worry, I will try my best."
“I’m not in a hurry, I’m just worried,” Su Yu sighed. “Won’t there be more intellectuals like those in Jinhe County?”
"How could that be?" Song Dongzheng exclaimed in surprise. "Every industry is short-staffed right now, it's impossible."
Su Yu said, "No one can predict the future, and I'm quite worried. Comrade Dongzheng, let's hurry up and make sure that no matter what happens in the future, we can protect the people around us."
Although Song Dongzheng thought that possibility was slim, Su Yu's seriousness made him dare not ignore it. He had known Su Yu for so long, and Su Yu never joked about serious matters.
"Comrade Su Yu, don't worry. If that really happens, I will protect you."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Not you, it's us. We're together."
It's easier for two people to share such a heavy burden.
Moreover, she is not used to having someone protect her.
With a sense of urgency, Su Yu's plans for the future became increasingly clear.
She was going to the publicity department.
This department primarily controls public opinion and thought. It still has a significant role to play in the future. If it does a good job, it can easily achieve remarkable results.
Having made up her mind, Su Yu knew she had every opportunity to visit the propaganda department. She wanted to learn about the department's operations and the interpersonal relationships within it, preparing herself for her future assignment to a lower-level post.
