Chapter 442 Friendly University (2)
On August 31, Jiang Ningyue came to Zhonghai again, to the office of Director Qian.
"Commissioner, this is the plan I have compiled during this period."
Commissioner Qian picked up the plan and took a look. "East Asia Friendship University? What does that mean?"
"It's a university sponsored by China and supported by Japan and South Korea." Jiang Ningyue explained briefly.
Commissioner Qian saw through the situation and asked with a smile, "Do you want to continue promoting the trilateral free trade zone?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ningyue nodded and said, "After all, I am now the director of the Asian Department. In addition to the situation in Indochina, I think the trilateral free trade area is also very important. My work for the next three years will be to strengthen cooperation between Indochina and China, and promote the trilateral free trade area."
“It’s good to have ideas, but…”
Commissioner Qian paused. "I've participated in almost all of the trilateral free trade area negotiations in recent years. It's been difficult, but I support you. If you need anything, just let me know."
“Good leadership.”
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "I didn't expect to achieve success overnight. I thought I would start with East Asia Friendship University."
"Okay, go ahead and do it."
Director Qian was very pleased. He had thought Jiang Ningyue would be resentful because he had not approved her transfer application. He did not expect her to adjust her attitude so quickly and come up with a practical plan.
In return, Commissioner Qian immediately expressed his support for Jiang Ningyue. "I happen to be free today, so I'll take you to your new position."
"Thank you, Bureau Committee."
Commissioner Qian personally escorted Jiang Ningyue to her new post, which sent a strong signal. It was no exaggeration to say that Commissioner Qian was Jiang Ningyue's backer.
He got in Director Qian's car and went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take up his post.
In the Asian Affairs Department, Commissioner Qian held a short meeting and reintroduced Jiang Ningyue to the middle and senior management of the ministry and all the party members and cadres of the Asian Affairs Department. In fact, a few days ago, Jiang Ningyue had already had a meal with the middle and senior management of the Asian Affairs Department.
Director Qian was busy with official duties and left soon.
The meeting ended and the leaders left. Jiang Ningyue looked at the people in the Asia Division with a smile, "Alright everyone, if you have work to do, get back to work."
Arriving at her office, Jiang Ningyue casually put down her bag and sat on the office chair.
Office Director Hu Jianzhang pulled out a stack of resumes from his briefcase and said, "Director, your secretary hasn't been confirmed yet."
Jiang Ningyue casually flipped through the resumes. Naturally, they were all women. While being a secretary to a leader was a lucrative job, not everyone wanted to do it. Especially not to a leader who was a dozen years younger than them.
Fortunately, we just recruited 27 people last year, and one of them was assigned to the Asian department: a man and a woman.
Because it is a central government ministry, after the one-year internship, I will be promoted to a "first-level chief clerk (Senior Clerk)".
Jiang Ningyue's secretary level is exactly this level.
Jiang Ningyue flipped through the list casually and finally chose this female cadre who had just joined the company last year.
Because she is indeed suitable, her ancestral home is from another place, she is young and beautiful.
"Call this Feng Jinyi over here."
"Okay, I'll have Xiao Feng check in with you right away."
Not long after Hu Jianzhang left, there was a knock on the office door. Although Jiang Ningyue's office door was always open, knocking was basic courtesy.
"Enter."
A female cadre wearing glasses walked up to Jiang Ningyue and said, "Director, I'm Feng Jinyi. Director Hu asked me to report to you."
Jiang Ningyue looked at Feng Jinyi and said, "Sit down."
"yes."
Feng Jinyi sat aside, somewhat reserved, but generally well-dressed. He wore a black suit jacket and white shirt, with the party emblem emblazoned on the jacket. He also wore black trousers and black, low-heeled leather shoes.
His short hair made him look quite capable, and he wore a pair of simple black glasses. His features were delicate, and his big eyes showed a hint of nervousness.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Ah? No."
Feng Jinyi didn't expect Jiang Ningyue to ask this. He subconsciously cried out in surprise, then quickly shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't let my personal affairs affect my work."
It's true that many women who pass the civil service exam get married, have children, and take maternity leave. After someone is hired, it can take three or four years before they actually start working.
But Feng Jinyi is not that kind of person. She really wants to make progress.
So, when he heard that there was an opportunity to be Jiang Ningyue's secretary, Feng Jinyi immediately signed up.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually."
Jiang Ningyue had a smile on her face, appearing very kind. "Tell me about the departments in the Asia Division."
"oh."
Feng Jinyi immediately blurted out, "The General Office is responsible for 'comprehensive affairs within the department and coordinates the daily operations of the Asia Department...', the Northeast Asia Division is responsible for 'handling diplomatic affairs related to Northeast Asian countries', the Southeast Asia Division, the South Asia Division, the Asian Multilateral Division, the Protocol and Consular Affairs Division..."
It was obvious that Feng Jinyi had experience in the job. He not only simply reported on the departments, but also focused on explaining the specific tasks of each department.
Jiang Ningyue nodded. "Very good. If you have no questions, you can start working now."
"Thank you, leader."
Feng Jinyi immediately smiled brightly.
For the next two months, Jiang Ningyue was in the stage of getting familiar with the work.
In addition to holding meetings every month, we also hold talks with department-level leaders of relevant Asian countries to discuss specific issues.
It’s just that Jiang Ningyue would pay attention to the progress bar almost every week. The good news is that the progress bar is increasing every day, but unfortunately it is increasing too slowly.
It's infuriatingly slow.
Jiang Ningyue was not going to wait any longer, so she asked her office and the Northeast Asia Division to prepare materials for talks with Japan and South Korea.
On October 18, Jiang Ningyue held talks with Kim Seung-jun, Director of the Northeast Asia and Central Asia Bureau of the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Hebei Province.
"Director Jin, in addition to the topics discussed earlier, I have one more thing to discuss during this meeting."
Jin Chengjun looked at Jiang Ningyue curiously. He had heard of her name before. This young woman before him had repeatedly caused failures for the CIA and was also the "Emperor of Myanmar."
"Please go ahead."
"I have a vision that the three countries will jointly establish an 'East Asia Friendship University' in Tianjin."
“East Asia Friendship University?”
Jin Chengjun was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "What is the meaning of this university?"
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "You have many factories in Bincheng District of Tianjin, right? Establishing a friendship university in Tianjin is a sure win for your country. It can cultivate talents more suitable for trilateral trade."
"Does your country still want to cooperate with the Japanese?"
Kim Seung-jun smiled and said, "I think they don't quite understand what 'friendly' means. If it's just between China and South Korea, I'd still be very interested."
Jiang Ningyue laughed. "Even if they don't understand what 'friendly' means, we still have to convey the 'friendly' signal. It's polite."
"Oh well."
Jin Chengjun nodded and said, "Director Jiang, you can contact Japan first. I can tell you this: whether Japan agrees or not, I'm very interested."
"Thank you so much."
"That's right."
Jin Chengjun suddenly thought of something, "There won't be any people from North Korea in Dong-A Friendship University, right?"
Jiang Ningyue had a complicated expression. "There are no teachers or professors from North Korea, but we can't rule out the possibility of having students from North Korea in the future."
Jin Chengjun thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right. After all, university is a tolerant place."
"Of course. We don't discriminate against students from any country."
Jiang Ningyue explained with a smile, "It's polite."
"I will not discriminate against any students, even those from Japan and North Korea."
Kim Seung-jun added.
"Yes, even including the Japanese." Jiang Ningyue nodded in approval.
