Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Mission
Ji Yang rushed over upon receiving the notice and saw Yan Guozhen and a middle-aged man sitting there.
“This is Vice Minister Xu from the Capital City, he has some matters to discuss with you, go ahead and talk.” After saying this, Yan Guozhen left.
Yan Guozhen’s actions took Ji Yang by surprise, and he looked again at Vice Minister Xu.
From the introduction, Ji Yang knew that this man was from the Organization Department, which meant that the matters to be discussed with him were of great importance.
“Comrade Ji Yang, I am Xu Zhiming, representing the Organization Department to have a talk with you. The content of our conversation must not be disclosed.”
With the introduction from Yan Guozhen, there was naturally no doubt about the other party’s identity, and Ji Yang also became serious, saying, “Rest assured, I will maintain confidentiality.”
“Mhm, we’ve been following and investigating your entire development situation continuously. From what we’ve seen of your overall performance, it’s not bad at all, although there are some minor issues, they don’t affect the bigger picture.”
Ji Yang was a bit shocked internally, guessing that they had indeed conducted a thorough investigation of him.
Of course, Ji Yang had his own means and believed that, at most, regarding his affairs with several women, they might suspect him but wouldn’t have concrete evidence or anything of that sort.
Ji Yang didn’t speak and listened quietly. Read complete version only at novel※fire.net
The other party, seeing Ji Yang’s composed demeanor, silently praised him, thinking that this young man was indeed commendable.
“The Organization Department uses a different assessment mechanism for leaders who have reached the deputy divisional level.”
Xu Zhiming began to explain.
Ji Yang really didn’t know about this, and no one had told him.
Xu Zhiming said, “This assessment mechanism is generally referred to as a ranking system. What is the ranking system? It involves including everyone in an assessment framework, assigning them various tasks to see how they deal with different problems. We will score them, and there is a fifty percent elimination rate when advancing to divisional head level, and another fifty percent elimination rate at the deputy ministerial level. This pattern continues upward. Do you understand?”
Ji Yang naturally understood; it was an assessment mechanism for selecting successors.
He had truly never heard of this before; probably everyone was not allowed to disclose it, or perhaps they just hadn’t heard of it.
As if sensing Ji Yang’s confusion, Xu Zhiming said, “Under normal circumstances, people who are included in the ranking are only informed once they reach the divisional head level. In fact, many who have reached that level are not included in this ranking system.”
So that’s how it was, no wonder many people were unaware of this matter.
“Whether you keep this matter confidential is also part of the assessment. If the information leaks from you, your family members will be barred forever from being included in this ranking.”
At this point, Ji Yang was also inwardly shocked. No wonder so many who were included kept it to themselves; this was probably the key. Even if they talked about it, knowledge would be limited to a certain level; most people would not know.
“I assure you, I will not leak any information.”
“Even if you leak it, it’s not a problem; we will extinguish it immediately!”
Well, that was a formidable statement!
“Now that you are a divisional head, you can be let in on this. We are going to give you a task that you can choose not to accept. If you decline, you will be removed from the ranking. This task could potentially cost you your life. Are you willing to accept the challenge?”
Ji Yang thought that matters had progressed to this point; could he possibly say no?
“I will follow the organization’s arrangements.”
Xu Zhiming nodded slightly and said, “The task assigned to you by the organization is as follows; let me explain it to you in detail.”
