No one expected this outcome.
Aside from Li Mei and Liu Lei, Chu Hong looked unwilling, while Gao Aiguo and Xing Kai's expressions were rather subtle.
In the office, the two men, being male, originally had the best chance, but in the end, a young female colleague who had just arrived actually took the opportunity.
Su Yu observed the expressions on their faces. After Deputy Director Liu and Director Zhou left, she stood up and said, "Thank you all for casting your precious vote for me. Thank you! I didn't expect everyone to support me so much. After all, I'm going to take the college entrance exam, and I feel quite confident about it, so I won't have the chance to run for a leadership secretary in the future. I really didn't expect everyone to give me such a valuable opportunity... Thank you, thank you all for giving such a good opportunity to me, a new comrade."
After she finished, she bowed to everyone.
Gao Aiguo and Xing Kai both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Su Yu's words.
Thankfully, it was Su Yu who was chosen. Anyway, she'll be leaving sooner or later, so she won't be competing with them for the future position of the leader's secretary.
The result wasn't too bad.
In the office, everyone looked relaxed.
Li Mei and Gao Xin said, "I think Comrade Su Yu is quite suitable. She has performed so well since she joined our department."
Liu Lei said with a smile, "It's time to give newcomers a chance."
Gao Aiguo and Xing Kai both smiled.
Seeing that everyone seemed to support Su Yu, Chu Hong couldn't help but say sourly, "We don't know yet which director Zhou and deputy director Liu will choose, so let's not jump to conclusions too early."
Li Mei said with a smile, "Anyway, no matter how the selection is made, it definitely won't be Comrade Chu Hong."
"I did this entirely to avoid any appearance of impropriety."
Su Yu smiled at her, "Actually, whether or not we avoid suspicion won't affect Comrade Chu Hong. Comrade Liu Lei is the most senior person in our office."
Chu Hong: "..."
Li Mei burst out laughing.
Seeing that Chu Hong's expression had turned sour, Liu Lei quickly said, "Everyone, please focus on your work and wait for Director Zhou and the others to give us their instructions."
Su Yu began to quietly review her studies again.
In the next office, Director Zhou and Deputy Director Liu had already made their decision. Since it had already been decided beforehand, and everyone in the office was so wholeheartedly supporting Su Yu, there was no need to change it.
Director Zhou smiled, a rare occurrence for him. "It seems that Comrade Su Yu is very united with her comrades. In this critical moment, everyone chooses to support her. I feel at ease having such a comrade as Secretary Hao's temporary secretary."
Deputy Director Liu asked, "When should we submit the report?"
"Let's wait a couple of days. Going too fast would seem imprudent. First, find out Su's case, organize her resume, and I'll show it to Secretary Hao when I have time."
"Okay, I'll have Liu Lei take care of it later."
Although Director Zhou did not formally announce the candidate to the secretariat, everyone knew that Deputy Director Liu had asked Liu Lei to compile Su Yu's resume.
With this arrangement in place, the people in the secretariat knew that the matter was settled.
Since it was the result of everyone's vote, although others were somewhat disappointed that they were not elected, they didn't have any other thoughts in their minds.
He also privately congratulated Su Yu.
As Su Yu stepped out of the compound gate after get off work, she saw Chu Hong and greeted her with a smile. As for girls, as long as they didn't provoke anyone, she didn't like bullying other girls.
Chu Hong said with a straight face, "It's nothing serious. It's just a temporary arrangement."
This girl really likes to stir up trouble. Su Yu sighed, "Yes, but Comrade Chu Hong, you can't even be a temporary one... Maybe because of Secretary Shi, you won't be able to be a formal leader's secretary in the future either."
Chu Hong bit her lip and looked at her. "I'm a college graduate, and I've been working for two years, so I'm qualified. I'm younger than you, and I have more opportunities than you."
"It's because of Secretary Shi that you don't have a chance. You might not know this, but every leader doesn't want their secretary to be a relative of another leader. Otherwise, what kind of secrecy would they have? Look at Director Liu, he never thought of letting Comrade Liu Lei take the path of a leader's secretary, did he? It seems that Secretary Shi was only able to become the head secretary because he didn't have any powerful connections. Sigh, why didn't Secretary Shi teach you these things..."
She shook her head and walked towards Su Dazhi.
After getting into the car, Su Dazhi said, "Sis, did that woman offend you? She looked unwell."
"She looks unwell; shouldn't I be the one who offended her?"
"Sis, it makes no difference. Since she offended you, you're bound to offend her in return."
"..." Su Yu tapped his back, "He's quite clever when he should be confused."
Su Dazhi chuckled, "Sis, didn't you tell me to be smarter? I'm learning."
"Yes, keep up the good work."
Behind her, Chu Hong watched Su Yu walk away, and stood there angrily.
She bit her lip and walked straight towards Secretary Shi's house. She had to find out what was going on. Her brother-in-law wasn't mentoring her; instead, he was hindering her development. What gave him the right?
When Secretary Shi returned home that evening, he was exhausted and heard sobbing coming from inside.
Upon entering the room, he saw two children sitting at the table doing their homework, while his wife, Chu Lan, was sitting on the edge of the bed, coaxing Chu Hong.
When Chu Lan saw him return, she said, "Old Shi, you're finally back. What happened? You're a leader, yet you don't even look after Honghong. She's a college graduate, after all, how come she's always being suppressed?"
"What's wrong now?"
Chu Hong said, "Secretary Hao is selecting a temporary secretary, but I had to avoid suspicion because of you. I couldn't run. Brother-in-law, what's going on between us? I can't even write the materials for Mayor Chen anymore, and now I have to give up this hard-won opportunity. I feel so wronged!"
