Chapter 766: Chapter 766 Arrangements from the Superiors
As the two of them were discussing this, Yan Guozhen’s phone rang. After taking the call, he looked at Zhou Yuan and said, “It seems we don’t need to make the arrangements, the higher-ups have new plans for Ji Yang.” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel★fire.net
“We’ve got no time to talk about it now, the leaders from the Organization Department are arriving from Capital City, let’s go meet them.”
Soon, a few more people were present in Yan Guozhen’s office, one of whom was a Deputy Minister from Capital City.
Looking at the two of them, this man named Xu Zhiming said seriously, “Since both of you are here, I might as well speak to you together. The situation in Myanmar has changed again. The various factions are fighting fiercely, and our foreign affairs work there has been severely affected. We’ve sent several foreign affairs personnel, but none have been able to achieve any results. We’ve noticed that Mr. Ji Yang has done a lot of work during his time in Myanmar and has very good relations with the local factions. Therefore, we plan to send Mr. Ji Yang to Myanmar once again.”
“Minister Xu, previously he was transferred to Southern Yunnan and dispatched from there to Myanmar; what position will he assume this time? A diplomatic envoy?”
Shaking his head, Xu Zhiming said, “This time the situation remains the same, he will go as the head of a work team, but this position will be at the departmental level.”
Both men instantly understood; they wanted to see if Ji Yang could break the stalemate there.
“Minister Xu, with Mr. Ji Yang’s achievements, our province is currently considering him for the position of Municipal Party Secretary,” Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but speak up for Ji Yang.
Yan Guozhen also said, “Indeed, we are studying this matter.”
The implication of their words was that there was no need for Ji Yang to take this risk, as it was meaningless for him.
“He has entered the ranking sequence, and this is his test.”
“What?” Both men were surprised and turned to look at Xu Zhiming.
Both had also entered that ranking sequence. Though the name seemed ordinary, those who truly understood its significance would not speak of it. Only those at a certain level were privileged to know about this ranking.
The ranking sequence was a list for cultivating the country’s key successors. Only cadres at the deputy department level qualified to be part of this sequence, for it was believed that by reaching the deputy department level, one would have had well-rounded development in all skills. From the higher perspective, only then was there potential for further cultivation.
They had been included in this sequence, but the competition within it was fierce. There would be tests in various aspects, and failure could mean stagnation at a certain level. Moreover, age was a critical factor at some levels; if one did not succeed by a certain age, they would stop advancing.
While the two men had reached the provincial and ministerial level, their age meant they had lost the chance of further advancement. So the best strategy for those in the ranking sequence was to make a full-fledged sprint before reaching the age that would disqualify them from moving up.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yang had also been placed within this sequence.
With Ji Yang’s age, now serving at the departmental level, his potential for growth was immense. If he did well, he could rise very high.
Both men felt they needed to be more proactive in dealing with Ji Yang’s affairs.
Zhou Yuan even began to consider whether there was a girl in the Zhou Family’s younger generation who was worthy of Ji Yang. If there was, marrying her to Ji Yang would align with the interests of the Zhou Family.
Xu Zhiming continued, “You know the situation well enough. Sending him to Myanmar this time, while he hasn’t been promoted and still maintains the level of a department head, and especially being dispatched by Southern Yunnan Province, represents a test for him.”
“We understand what’s important.”
The two men immediately declared their stance.
