Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

The two girls were a little surprised to hear Section Chief Sun call him Director Zhong. There were only two directors in their street office, Director Li and Director Wang. The director of their street office was a department-level cadre. Even if he was a deputy director, he was still too different from Zhong Shan, a section officer, right?

After hearing this, Zhong Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Sun, please stop teasing me. You know me. I would rather be a clerk in our department!"

Then he explained to the two women, "I was transferred to Director Wang and became his assistant, and now he is the deputy director!"

The deputy director of the committee is at the deputy section level. Originally, Zhong Shan was a level 22 section officer. Now he has been promoted two levels to the level 20 deputy section level, with a monthly salary of 72, and he is a legitimate leading cadre!

Although it was a little easier to accept than before, Zhang Juan still looked at Zhong Shan in surprise that he had suddenly become a deputy section-level cadre. Song Lili was also a little surprised. She knew her husband and knew that he had no ambition to climb up the ladder. Moreover, she and her husband had always been together. She also knew that Zhong Shan had never tried to use his connections. Her parents had wanted to do something for Zhongshan, but he had refused. So why was he suddenly promoted this time?

Zhong Shan did not explain and gestured to Song Lili to go home and talk about it first. He packed up his things, said goodbye to everyone, and went to the committee.

In fact, there was no need to say goodbye as they were still in the same courtyard. Zhong Shan now had his own office. Although it was not big, he had cleaned up a room next to Director Wang. As their department was new and he, as the deputy director, had never had one before, let alone his own office, all things had to be newly equipped!

After Zhong Shan arrived, he took a few people from the committee to the logistics department to get a desk and a few chairs, a filing cabinet for documents, and some daily necessities such as washbasins, kettles, paper and pens, and then went back to set up the office!

Since you are here, you might as well make the best of it. Since you are already here, don’t think too much. Besides, this is the first time in Zhongshan’s two lives that he has his own office, so all of this is quite new to him!

After decorating his office, Zhong Shan sat behind his desk and looked at the door. He felt it was quite special. No wonder everyone loves to be an official!

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhong Shan did not close the door. He saw Director Wang at the door and stood up quickly and said, "Brother Wang, you are here!"

Wang Zhanying looked at Zhong Shan with a smile: "Xiao Zhong, it's okay, let me take a look, are you used to it?"

"It's okay, but Brother Wang, you know my temper, so don't assign me too much work!" It was not clear what Director Wang meant, so Zhong Shan could only make his attitude clear first: he had no intention of fighting for power!

Director Wang showed a satisfied expression: "Xiao Zhong, you are great. It's just right for you to come with me to meet the brothers of our committee."

We came to a large room at the back of the building, with more than ten people inside. Although there were fewer people than in a steel rolling mill, it was still considered a large department in the street office!

After Director Wang brought Zhong Shan into the room, he coughed twice and saw that everyone was looking at him: "Everyone, be quiet!"

Everyone on the committee also greeted:

"Director Wang"

"Hello, Director"

Director Wang saw that everyone was looking at him: "Everyone, put down your work first. Come, let me introduce you to the person next to me. Some of you may know him. He is Comrade Zhong Shan from our Subdistrict Office. Now, he has been transferred to our office and is the deputy director of our committee. Now, everyone, please give a round of applause to welcome Director Zhong!"

They are all in the same courtyard, and the street office is not big. Even if they don’t know each other, they can all get to know each other and know that there is such a person. Moreover, when Director Wang led people to catch enemy spies, they all knew about Zhong Shan. Now that they see Zhong Shan has become their deputy director, there are no dissatisfied people looking for trouble. They are just a small team member, and whoever comes is a leader. For them, just be obedient and work hard!

After greeting everyone, Director Wang took Zhong Shan back to the office: "Xiao Zhong, sit down. I have something else to tell you. We don't have many people now, but after the study class is established, there will be more people. We will also have to go out to work, and the office will also be moved over there. Your job is mainly to cooperate with me. Now you can still be lazy, but after the study class is established, you will have to take responsibility for something!"

Zhong Shan followed Director Wang to take a look at the study class. It was located in a disused school with a two-story building used as an office. The infrastructure was already in place, but due to the particularity of this study class, the caretakers were not recruited by their committee themselves, but were matched with retired military personnel from above!

There is probably more than one such class. Judging from its scale, it is no smaller than that of the street office! Although the staff is not yet fully staffed, the walls are already covered with various slogans. Seeing the satisfied look on Director Wang's face, there is no need to ask, it must be his masterpiece!

This office is much bigger than the one in the subdistrict office. It is located on the second floor facing the sun. Now, standing in front of the window, looking at the yard outside, Zhong Shan doesn't know what his mood should be!

After get off work, Zhong Shan and his wife returned to the Song family. After dinner, Zhong Shan told Song's father and mother about his job transfer. Song's father sighed and said, "We know about this. Your aunt Li called and told her about it. But there is no way. You have to face it sooner or later. Go, but you must strictly abide by the bottom line and never do anything excessive!"

"Dad, you don't know my temper. If I can, I would rather not be the deputy director. There is nothing I can do about it!"

Song's father also agreed with Zhongshan's words, which was why he was relieved to let Zhongshan go!

After finishing the business, Song's mother mentioned another matter: "Xiao Zhong, a leader has been admitted to our hospital. His condition is quite difficult. With our current level, Western medicine has no way to treat him. However, I have seen records of previous treatments in the medical notes you collected, but I am a little unsure on my own. I am still far behind in Chinese medicine. I plan to ask my uncle, Mr. Jin, to study it together, but after all, these books are yours, so I still need your approval!"

Zhong Shan didn't care when he heard it. If his mother-in-law used it, then so be it. Besides, she was the leader, so her position should not be low. If the patient was really cured, it would be good for his family. Besides, those medical books, although he valued them very much when he bought them, had been gathering dust after he got them. Besides, his mother-in-law's uncle, Old Man Jin, didn't have any apprentices or children, so he wasn't afraid that the news would spread out!

"Okay, Mom, just take care of it. These books are just collected by me. They are not passed down from my family. Besides, it would be a waste if they were kept in my hands!"
