Chapter 365 Taking Office as Deputy Director
The Agency for International Development is a vice-ministerial unit. The Director is at the vice-ministerial level, the Deputy Director is at the bureau level, and the Directors-General under him are at the vice-bureau level and the Deputy Directors-General are at the division level.
The Development Agency is composed of: General Affairs Department (General Office), Policy and Planning Department, Regional Department One, Regional Department Two, Foreign Affairs Department (fictitious), International Cooperation Department, Supervision and Evaluation Department, and the Party Committee of the Agency (Human Resources Department).
Jiang Ningyue was a second-level inspector (deputy department level). As she was new to the company, she naturally could not be the director general. Instead, she was the deputy director general with the title of "(deputy department)".
Jiang Ningyue had no objection to this. She didn't think she could give instructions after just one day of lectures. These directors and deputy directors were basically from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and were very experienced in diplomatic affairs. Compared to them, Jiang Ningyue was just a student.
A simple meeting was held in the conference room, and Chai Yong announced that Jiang Ningyue was assigned to the Foreign Affairs Department as deputy director.
Afterwards, Jiang Ningyue introduced herself and expressed her determination verbatim. Everyone applauded and welcomed her, and the meeting ended.
Jiang Ningyue originally thought that the meeting could be adjourned, but she didn't expect that the meeting would continue and they would start discussing the issues directly.
Jiang Ningyue also quickly got into the role - attending the class as an observer.
Simply put, a small country called Campbell in West Africa received a lot of government funding. The government helped it build roads and invested in factories, but the original agreement was that the development of its gold and uranium mines would be handed over to domestic companies.
But now they have changed their mind and want to hold an open bidding.
Countries such as France, the United States, and Australia all came over, wanting to get a piece of the pie.
Although France is often called the "shame of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council," it still has a strong influence on the African continent. When China invested, Campbell was very friendly, but when it came time to collect the principal and interest, he immediately changed his attitude.
Chai Yong said, "Our agency is cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce to visit Campbell."
As he spoke, Chai Yong looked at Jiang Ningyue and said, "Director Jiang, I heard that you have a good relationship with Nina from Mithril International Mining?"
Jiang Ningyue nodded, "Yes, Director, we have known each other for several years."
"Um."
Chai Yong nodded and said, "Then Director Jiang will lead our department this time to cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce."
Jiang Ningyue's pupils trembled. What's the matter? I'm the only one leading the team. I just got here, boss!
I don't even know where my office is!
However, Jiang Ningyue remained calm on the surface, "Okay, Director."
Chai Yong continued, "The First, Second, and Foreign Affairs Departments will arrange for staff to accompany us. It would be best if they have communicated with Campbell and are familiar with the local area."
"clear."
The directors of each department nodded immediately.
After that, the meeting lasted another half an hour and officially ended.
After the meeting, Chai Yongcai smiled and said, "Director Jiang, don't feel any pressure. This time, we are just cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce."
"clear."
Jiang Ningyue nodded.
Afterwards, Yang Zhen, director of the Department of Institutional Affairs, brought Jiang Ningyue to her office.
But it's funny to say that over the years, Jiang Ningyue rose from section clerk to deputy section chief, deputy director, director, and deputy director. The biggest period for his office was when he was deputy county magistrate of Zhaoyang County.
As a deputy-department-level official, if I were in a prefecture-level city, the area of my office would be about twice as large as it is now, right?
This is in line with the saying that one doesn't know the rank of an official until they've been to the capital. A deputy-department-level official is a top official in a county town, but just an ordinary cadre in the capital.
Zeng Fan, deputy director of the General Affairs Department, also recommended several apartments and houses to Jiang Ningyue, and she ultimately chose an apartment near the Second Ring Road. The apartment was owned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the International Development Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a close relationship, like family, so they essentially shared the space.
Afterwards, he came to the department where Jiang Ningyue was assigned - the Foreign Affairs Department.
Although Jin Cheng, Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs, is Jiang Ningyue's leader, the two are at the same level, so Jin Cheng has no intention of being arrogant and his attitude is very kind and polite.
All the cadres and staff of the Foreign Affairs Department were called into the big office for a brief meeting and introduction.
"This is Jiang Ningyue, the newly appointed Second-Level Inspector and Deputy Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Please give her a round of applause."
There were many young people in the Foreign Affairs Department, and many of them had heard of Jiang Ningyue. Seeing that Jiang Ningyue had been transferred to the Development Agency, especially the Foreign Affairs Department, everyone was quite excited.
Jiang Ningyue also saw an acquaintance in the Foreign Affairs Department - Zhao Jing.
"Hello everyone, please take care of me in the future."
After some pleasantries, Jin Cheng glanced around and said, "Zhao Jing, Pan Hao, both of you come to my office."
Then he looked at Jiang Ningyue and said, "Director Jiang, I want to tell them about the meeting just now. Would you like to join us?"
"OK."
The four of them came to Jin Cheng's office, and Jin Cheng shared the general content of the meeting just now.
"You two are the only unmarried people in our Foreign Affairs Department, and your families live in other places. Because this matter is quite urgent, I can only ask you two. Are you two okay?"
"no problem."
The two nodded immediately. For Zhao Jing and Pan Hao, working overtime and traveling on business was a common occurrence. So they didn't hesitate at all when faced with Jin Cheng's words.
"This time, Director Jiang will lead the team. You just need to work with Director Jiang when the time comes."
After saying that, Jin Cheng said to Pan Hao, "Alright. Pan Hao, finish the work at hand first. We will set off tomorrow night."
After Pan Hao left, Jin Cheng looked at Jiang Ningyue again, "Director Jiang, you've just arrived at the Development Agency. If you're unfamiliar with the work process, please consult Zhao Jing."
Then he looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Zhao Jing, your main job in the future will be to assist and cooperate with Director Jiang's work."
"Okay, Chief."
Zhao Jing nodded immediately, feeling even happier.
Jiang Ningyue was already quite familiar with this, so she was relatively calm.
The Development Agency, a department that had only been established a few years earlier, was still quite efficient. In the afternoon, eight people from various departments gathered for a short meeting. Among them, the Second Division also assigned Deputy Director Lu Peng to assist Jiang Ningyue in her work.
In the evening, Jiang Ningyue arrived at the apartment. The apartment was about 100 square meters, perfectly adequate for her own use. With the help of Zhao Jing and the others, she set up her home a bit.
Everyone also sent some gifts to congratulate Jiang Ningyue on her "housewarming".
Jiang Ningyue picked and chose, keeping the cheap ones and returning the expensive ones. At the same time, Jiang Ningyue also personally treated everyone to a meal as a return for their thank you gift.
The next evening, 30 people from the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development Agency left for Campbell, a small country in West Africa, at the Capital International Airport.
Jiang Ningyue also asked Nina, and Nina said that she would not go this time.
Moreover, this time Jiang Ningyue was competing with them for business, and Nina was unwilling to join in the fun, so as to avoid being embarrassed by both sides.
