Chapter 440: Newly appointed Asian Division
In March 2027, Lai Min decided to hold a new national election. At that time, the new government will decide whether to lift the state of emergency.
In June, the China-Myanmar Railway was fully connected and started trial operation, and was officially opened to traffic on August 1.
After the July election, Pasang was elected as the new President of Myanmar and he will officially take office on September 1.
On August 5, Jiang Ningyue bid farewell to General Lai Min, Myanmar's Foreign Minister, and the Governor of Mandalay Province.
Lai Min's eyes were filled with fatigue. "Consul General Jiang, I didn't expect four years to pass so quickly. Your term is over. My time should be over too."
"Oh……"
Jiang Ningyue chuckled and said, "General, don't worry. Pashan has promised not to cancel your treatment and to protect your safety."
Lai Min smiled and nodded at Jiang Ningyue, "Consul General Jiang, you are welcome to return to Myanmar anytime."
"Thanks."
Jiang Ningyue stood up and said goodbye.
On August 7, Jiang Ningyue gave Pashan some instructions and left Qingfeng, Dakai and others to him. After all, they had become regular troops and there was no need for them to follow him anymore.
At Lashio Airport, Pashan organized a farewell party for tens of thousands of people. Countless people bid farewell to Jiang Ningyue in tears, and some even knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Jiang Ningyue felt that they were overacting, but she still pretended to be touched. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took Jiang Xingruo, Tang Lu, Zhou Yan and others on the plane back to Beijing.
After returning home and resting for a while, Jiang Ningyue asked Zhao Jing to help look after the child while she went to Zhonghai with the documents.
This document was an application that Jiang Ningyue had prepared long ago. Simply put, it was an application to work in Haizhou Province.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed to release the person, and the Haizhou Provincial Government agreed to accept him, so Jiang Ningyue could be transferred back to Haizhou.
Arriving at the office of Zhonghai Qianju Committee and sitting in the lounge, Jiang Ningyue started chatting with her colleagues.
"Director Jiang, this term of office is over. Have you heard what position you will be taking up?"
"No." Jiang Ningyue said with a smile, "I plan to apply to the Bureau Committee for a transfer to Haizhou Province."
"Let's go somewhere!"
Everyone showed envy after hearing this. Those present were either department heads or deputy ministers, but in the capital, they were only powerful in their own departments.
But once he was transferred to the local level, he became a top figure in the province.
Who doesn’t want to be decentralized?
However, it is difficult for the higher-ups to release people, and the lower-ups generally won't accept them.
Therefore, everyone could only express envy towards Jiang Ningyue.
After chatting with colleagues for half an hour, the secretary informed Jiang Ningyue that she could go in.
Entering the office of Commissioner Qian, Jiang Ningyue said with a smile, "Leader, I came to you as soon as I got back."
Director Qian smiled and nodded at Jiang Ningyue, "Xiao Jiang, sit down."
Jiang Ningyue had just sat down when Commissioner Qian looked at the file bag in her hand with confusion. "Xiao Jiang, what are you holding?"
"Oh, this."
Jiang Ningyue took out a document from the file bag, stood up and placed it on the table of Commissioner Qian. "Leader, this is my application for transfer to Haizhou Province."
The smile on Director Qian's face immediately disappeared, and he stared at the application with a frown.
Jiang Ningyue's smile gradually disappeared, and her heart began to beat fast.
He's not going to cheat, is he?
"Xiao Jiang!"
Commissioner Qian put the application aside. "Although the China-Myanmar railway is complete, the situation in Myanmar remains unclear. You'd better not leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, lest they call you back in case of an emergency."
Director Qian pondered for a moment. "We've been discussing appointments to department and bureau-level positions within the ministry recently. After discussion, the ministry has decided to appoint you as Director-General of the Asia Department. We'll revisit your application once the situation in Myanmar stabilizes."
Jiang Ningyue opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing.
"Okay then, leader, when should I report in?"
"September."
Seeing Jiang Ningyue accept her fate, Commissioner Qian couldn't help but smile and soften his tone. "Just rest well during this time. Besides, isn't your son Xingruo going to kindergarten soon? The education in the capital is definitely better than in Haizhou."
"Okay, leader."
Jiang Ningyue stood up and left. Walking into the lounge, her colleagues all asked, "Director Jiang, how is it? Did the leader approve it?"
Jiang Ningyue smiled a smile that was even more miserable than crying, "No."
Everyone felt a little gloating.
That's right, how can we let you go so easily?
I am afraid that my brother is having a hard life, and I am also afraid that he is driving a Land Rover.
If you really go to Haizhou to "act tyrannically", won't we be envious to death?
On the way, Jiang Ningyue received a "system prompt". However, Jiang Ningyue was driving, so she ignored it.
When I opened the door, Zhao Jing was still playing with toys with Jiang Xingruo.
"Mom~"
Jiang Xingruo ran over immediately when she saw Jiang Ningyue, and Jiang Ningyue picked her up.
Zhao Jing asked curiously, "Leader, how is it?"
“No.”
Jiang Ningyue said with emotion, "The bureau committee asked me to be the director of the Asian Department."
"Boss, the Director of the Asia Department has a lot of power!"
Zhao Jing was delighted.
Jiang Ningyue went to Haizhou, so she definitely couldn't go with her. However, if Jiang Ningyue stayed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she could "take care" of her.
Everyone has selfish desires, and Zhao Jing is no exception.
"The Asian Affairs Department is one of the most important departments within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Furthermore, if you work there, Ruoruo can also go to school in the capital."
"That's all I can think of."
Jiang Ningyue nodded and said, "Okay, Zhao Jing, go home."
"It's okay, boss. I'm alone and have nothing to do when I get home."
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "I can still play with Ruoruo from here."
"That's right. You've been with me in Mandalay for so many years, and I've wasted your time."
"Hey, you're my idol, shouldn't I learn from you?"
"Don't learn from me."
Jiang Ningyue laughed, not wanting to delay Zhao Jing because of herself. "By the way, when you came back, did you tell me which department you went to?"
Zhao Jing holds a master's degree from Capital University, a prestigious degree even in the city and province. However, it's not enough for central government ministries. The other people in her cohort at the central government ministries also hold master's degrees from prestigious universities.
Some of them have work experience in central government agencies and public institutions. Compared with them, Zhao Jing does not have much advantage.
After being transferred from the Agency for International Development to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I followed Jiang Ningyue to the Consulate General in Mandalay. I don’t know what to do with her after she came back this time.
"No."
Zhao Jing smiled.
"Okay, since no one's talking about you, you can take a day off too."
Jiang Ningyue said, "You should also go back to your hometown to rest and go back to work in September."
"Okay, thank you, leader."
Zhao Jing laughed immediately.
If Jiang Ningyue went to Haizhou, Zhao Jing would definitely not dare to agree, but Jiang Ningyue is now staying in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so who would deny Jiang Ningyue face because of such a small matter?
"I'll have to find a new secretary."
Jiang Ningyue adjusted herself to a comfortable position and leaned back on the sofa. "What a hassle."
"Hehe, I can't bear to lead either."
Zhao Jing smiled and said, "But don't worry, I will still be in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future. No matter where I am, I will always be your soldier."
Let's be honest, serving a boss is always a hassle. However, Zhao Jing didn't find Jiang Ningyue difficult to get along with. She wasn't arrogant, and she never got angry at jokes. She even occasionally gave them small gifts, which was a typical example of a boss.
The most important thing is that their boss hates overtime, so they basically don’t work overtime.
Unfortunately, after Jiang Ningyue changed her position, according to regulations, it was impossible for him to continue to serve as her secretary.
