The car entered the provincial committee complex, and everyone headed towards the location of the Organization Department.
Along the way, nobody spoke again.
"Mr. Ji Yang, please come here."
An official from the Organization Department called out to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang followed him to the office of Minister Hu Chen of the Organization Department.
"Hello, Minister Hu."
Hu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Ji Yang, please have a seat and let’s talk."
After Ji Yang sat down, Hu Chen looked at him and said, "Some things happened in Jinyin City. In this incident, you were not affected, and the organization is aware of your conscientious work. Considering your situation, one of the reasons we called you here today is to explain the adjustments to your team, and another is concerning you." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net
Ji Yang realized that this might differ from what Zhou Yuan had mentioned and was uncertain if something had changed at the last minute.
Hu Chen looked at Ji Yang, sitting there with a calm and composed demeanor, and he secretly admired him. This young man was really not bad.
Thinking of the last-minute information that came from Capital City, his recognition of Ji Yang’s capabilities increased.
"The situation is this, the Party School in Capital City has a special education enhancement class aimed for department-level and above leadership cadres. It is a doctoral course. Originally, the selection of participants had concluded, but given your situation, we can add you to it. The class is a one-year program, half a year on-campus and the other half off-campus. I wanted to ask for your opinion; are you willing to join this class?"
Although not fully aware of what had transpired, Ji Yang understood that this was a good opportunity for him. Joining the class would first and foremost significantly expand his network of contacts. Essentially, after the program, he would be a doctor, a significant academic advancement. Another aspect that thrilled Ji Yang even more was breaking free from Deng Guohai’s surveillance.
Lately, Ji Yang had significantly reduced his meetings with several women to avoid drawing Deng Guohai’s attention.
"What about the work in Jinyin City after I leave?" Ji Yang still asked.
"You will be on a six-month full-time leave. During these six months, the province has already adjusted the leadership team. You will still be the Executive Deputy Mayor and will not be affected. Of course, specific tasks will be taken over by the Mayor and Deputy Mayors. Generally speaking, it won’t cause any disruption."
Ji Yang began to understand. They were not promoting him this time but were indirectly providing him some benefits.
"If that’s the case, naturally, I am willing to join the study."
Hu Chen smiled and said, "You are one of our province’s younger officials. If you could obtain a doctoral degree, the possibilities for your next steps would be even wider."
Ji Yang said, "I obey the organization’s arrangements."
"Mm, because there is an opening ceremony for that class in Capital City tomorrow, you need to leave today to register. You don’t have to attend today’s meeting; we’ll brief you on the new adjustments to the team later."
"Mm, these are some notices and materials for enrollment, and your plane ticket has also been purchased for you. Take a good look at them on the plane."
It was unexpected to be so urgent!
"Since things are a bit urgent, we haven’t even given you time to hand over your work."
"There isn’t much to hand over; it’s still the same work."
Hu Chen slightly nodded and said, "Indeed, we are aware of the situation with the work in Jinyin City. You all haven’t even started work before it went awry. After you go, be sure to strengthen your studies and improve your capabilities in all aspects."
Leaving the Organization Department, Ji Yang was truly surprised. He had not expected such a turn of events.
