Rebirth: 1977

Xi Jun was very surprised when he received a call from Ye Tianshui: "Hello, Mr. Ye! Have you returned from abroad?"

They had already known about Ye Tianshui sending Feiyang to study abroad for a master's degree, and they were all very clear about it, so there was no need to be shy when talking about it.

"Well, I've been back for a few days and have started working." Ye Tianshui's tone was calm.

"Brother Xi, I called you today to ask you if you have received the new transfer order for my brother-in-law's job?"

Ye Tianshui didn't need to ask whether the Organization Department had said this. Xi Jun was the secretary-general of the municipal party committee and was promoted from secretary to Leader Xia. When Xia Minglei was not in Pengcheng, he would definitely know about this matter at the first opportunity.

The Organization Department will definitely tell him the news.

The Secretary-General’s administrative level is average, but working alongside the leader, his every move often represents the leader’s intentions.

"Mr. Ye, I just received a call from the Organization Department. I was wondering what this transfer order means. It's only a little over half a month different from the previous one.

Mr. Ye, you have been hiding such a great event as your promotion from us. We only found out about your promotion when we saw Zijian’s previous transfer order.

I want to congratulate you, but I know you are not in the country.

The new transfer order says that Zijian can not only be transferred back to Beijing, but also be promoted. Is this true?

Is that what you meant?

Xi Jun looked at the people walking back and forth outside the window, covered the microphone with his hand, lowered his voice and asked excitedly.

Ye Tianshui smiled slightly on the other end of the phone: "The first and second transfer orders were both my ideas.

Originally, in order to facilitate the movement and reduce resistance in the middle, it was decided to give Hua Zijian a horizontal adjustment.

But I heard that Xia Minglei is not in Pengcheng, and I have to wait for him to come back before deciding whether to release my brother-in-law. "

Xi Jun smiled awkwardly and continued in a low voice:

"Mr. Ye, Leader Xia is indeed out of town. Since he has said this, the Organization Department dare not make a decision on its own."

Ye Tianshui smiled lightly and asked casually, "What a coincidence! When was the meeting and exchange between leaders from all over the country decided? Brother Xi, you should know, right?"

Xi Jun was silent for a while before he replied seriously: "This meeting and exchange is the top priority of our work in the second half of the year.

It was confirmed as early as April.

However, the original plan was to start after the National Day on October 1st, so the change to move it forward half a month was a last-minute change.”

"A temporary change in the work plan? Do you know why it was moved forward half a month?"

Ye Tianshui's tone turned cold.

These matters are open to the leadership of Pengcheng, and Xi Jun felt no pressure to answer them.

"Mr. Ye, I don't know the real reason, but it is said that it was proposed by a leader in Shanghai. After consultation with Leader Xia, he agreed to change the original itinerary."

His tone also became serious.

Xi Jun understood that Ye Tianshui would not ask these questions for no reason, he must have his reasons.

Thinking about this change in itinerary, the only thing affected was probably Xia Zijian's job transfer.

Could it be that Leader Xia did this on purpose? He thought about it and realized that this was impossible.

First of all, the change of plan was proposed by the leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Also, Xia Zijian’s transfer order had not been received at that time.

Most importantly, wouldn't Leader Xia be happy to see Xia Zijian leave Pengcheng?

Why did he deliberately keep this ex-son-in-law? Was it because they were fed up with each other?

Others may not be aware of the inside story, but they all know very well that the best outcome is for the father-in-law and son-in-law to separate.

Xia Minglei's position cannot be easily shaken, so the only option is to let Xia Zijian leave.

The opportunity has come. Logically speaking, it won't have any impact if Leader Xia is not in Pengcheng. To put it simply, give the Organization Department a verbal order over the phone.

If you are more cautious, it is very convenient to sign and fax a document back.

Without Ye Tianshui's further questioning, Xi Jun did not think about it too deeply, but now thinking about it again, he became even more confused.

Ye Tianshui was silent for a while, then asked, "How is my brother Zijian feeling during his stay in Pengcheng? Has it not affected his work?"

Since it was the Shanghai leaders who proposed the change in the work plan, there was no need for him to continue asking.

Maybe it was just a coincidence. If it was Xia Minglei's doing, he would have already made arrangements and excuses.

He simply doesn't like playing this kind of game or going around in circles like this.

Hearing Ye Tianshui's question, Xi Jun paused. He, Xia Zijian and Si Kongkong had gathered together several times since the last time they got together.

It was not until the Municipal Organization Department received Xia Zijian's work transfer order that Xia Zijian broke the window paper and happily told them that he would soon leave Pengcheng and return to Beijing to work.

Both he and Sikong Kong were happy for him. Although it was a lateral transfer, being a director-level cadre in the Beijing department was an easier job than being the deputy director of the Pengcheng Public Security Bureau.

There is no need to go out on patrol or work overtime anytime and anywhere.

After knowing that Xia Zijian's immediate superior was Ye Tianshui, she became even more envious of him.

As for why we didn’t tell them the good news earlier?

No one asked this question.

They understood Xia Zijian's personality and temper, and he could bear not to share it with them in time. It must have been Young Master Ye's intention.

But recently...

"Mr. Ye, Deputy Director Xia's work has been much easier recently. Since he received the transfer order, he has been preparing for the handover.

It’s just that the director received an order from Leader Xia, saying that Comrade Zijian worked hard and the city leaders hoped that he would stay.

At the moment, there is no suitable person to take over the affairs in his hands.

The director did not understand what Leader Xia meant, and he could not act on his own, so Zijian had no problems at work.

That’s…that’s…”

Xi Jun thought of Secretary Xu, who was going to take over his job. She was young and beautiful, and her abilities and ambitions were obvious to all.

Such outstanding female comrades are rare in official circles. Only if they meet a mentor who can support them can they have a promising future.

Seeing Xi Jun hesitated and did not answer immediately, Ye Tianshui asked:

"Brother Xi, is there anything that happened that I don't want to know about?"

"No, no, Mr. Ye, please don't misunderstand. It's like this. Ever since the news of Zijian's job transfer came out, Secretary Xu, who works with Leader Xia, has been pursuing Zijian."

Xi Jun hurried to explain.

"Xia Minglei's secretary?" Ye Tianshui was surprised:

"Did she take the initiative to pursue my brother? Was it because she wanted to follow my brother and transfer back to the capital?"

Xi Jun thought about it seriously and said, "It seems not. I didn't find Xu Rong planning to return to the capital.

She has already established a firm foothold in Pengcheng, and with Leader Xia paving the way for her, she has just been announced to have been promoted to deputy director of the office.

In her situation, if no one had arranged a job for her after returning to the capital, Xu Rong would not leave Pengcheng."
