A month had passed, and the school began its second monthly exam.
During this month, Chang Le could not be said to have not worked hard.
He listened attentively in class, even if he didn't understand, he listened with determination;
He diligently practiced after class, even if he didn't get it right, he practiced against the answers.
He asked questions when he didn't understand, asking teachers, plain, outstanding, and ordinary female classmates.
One more thing: Chang Le was very handsome, not the oily-faced, effeminate kind of handsome, but rather the heroic and handsome type with a sunny and robust charm.
With smooth contours, handsome features, delicate facial features, and sharp lines, he was like the moon in the embrace, warm and jade-like, with gentle breezes in the pine forest and brilliant flashes under the rocks... please refer to the pro-plus version of Peng Yuyan.
This was thanks to the excellent genes passed down from his parents.
Precisely because he was excessively handsome, Chang Le could easily blend in with the opposite sex, and there were many stories about him.
Therefore, when Chang Le asked questions, the outstanding, plain, and ordinary female classmates would either shyly, brightly, enthusiastically, or actively impart knowledge with their whole heart, and even inquire proactively, actively expanding and extending help.
Because of this, Chang Le quickly got into the rhythm, and subjects like language, English, and comprehensive literature, which had relatively low technical content, quickly recovered.
Except for math, which was difficult to pick up due to his poor foundation and long neglect.
So, he felt a bit anxious about the monthly exam.
He was afraid of getting a single-digit score, which would be difficult to explain to his parents.
There's no need to elaborate on the exam process; it was two days with four subjects.
After the two days of exams, the school had a day off for relaxation and tension adjustment.
Meanwhile, in a small conference room at the SW of Linzhou.
"Secretary, the province has issued a supervisory letter... requiring our city to investigate the situation within a week, make a situation report, and submit the list of confirmed personnel for approval. If it's overdue, arrangements will be made by the province."
This was the core topic of today's meeting, with only nine participants.
Here's what happened.
A month ago, that devastating traffic accident resulted in injuries and fatalities among several important personnel, leading to vacancies in key positions.
Although Chen Xiangqian and three other key personnel were rescued, objectively speaking, their bodies could no longer meet the job requirements, and they retired early due to illness.
In addition, two people died on the way to the hospital, resulting in a total of six vacant positions.
All of them were crucial positions that could not be completely filled by Linzhou alone.
Considering Linzhou's actual situation, the province chose, recommended personnel, and reported them for approval.
In short, it was just a formality.
The adjustment and arrangement of the six positions, plus the subsequent rotation of positions, meant a series of extensive personnel changes.
The magnitude of the adjustment and the number of personnel involved were unprecedented in many years.
Because of this, there were many people with resources and ideas, and many people involved in the operation, which led to problems.
Initially, it was just normal competition, talking about qualifications, showing performance, and reporting numbers.
As the competition heated up, some people reached out to break the rules and balance, turning into mutual squeezing.
The delivery of the first letter, followed by reports, catalyzed abnormal competition, with genuine and false letters spreading from the county to the city, then to the province, and even further, escalating like snowflakes.
The province was extremely annoyed, issuing a supervisory letter in addition to warnings and interviews, with a very clear attitude and extremely harsh wording.
This matter could be big or small.
Looking at it from a small perspective, it's a matter of some personnel in Linzhou lacking high quality and stirring up trouble;
From a broader perspective, it's a lack of overall view, lack of unity, and disharmony;
More seriously, it could be said that the maneuvering ability is not enough.
In the middle of the meeting room, after listening to a brief report, Li Qingyun's face turned pale, and his emotions burst out uncontrollably.
"Bang!" He slammed the table hard, startling everyone else.
"No organization, no discipline, no ability, just a bunch of low-handed tricks."
"Embarrassing! We've lost face for Linzhou."
...
Everyone present sat up straight, no one dared to touch the mold at this time, feeling uncomfortable.
After a brief venting, Li Qingyun calmed down and said:
"Let's hear what everyone has to say. There must be a solution to this matter. How should we handle it next? Organization department, you go ahead and give your suggestions."
"Cough... Secretary, I suggest that all personnel involved in this incident should not be included in the investigation."
"Well... just not included? Isn't that a bit lenient? What's the opinion of the discipline inspection department?"
"Our department suggests digging deeper based on the clues provided by these letters, and seriously dealing with personnel who are found to have violated laws, regulations, and disciplines. At the same time, even if there are no related issues found, they should all be transferred from their current positions. According to our preliminary investigation, there are no innocent people on the list."
"Will this cause too much commotion?" someone worried.
"I think it should cause a commotion. Without them, the atmosphere in Linzhou will be better, and the work will reach a new level," Li Qingyun said firmly.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"..."
Li Qingyun nodded, "Good, we have reached a consensus on this issue. We must handle it seriously with thunderous means to serve as a warning. The discipline inspection department will act according to this opinion."
"Next, the organization department has drawn up a new list of personnel. Let's discuss it."
"Let me report first. The candidates on this list have been strictly screened by us, and we have also consulted relevant departments. There are no issues in terms of ability, resume, and qualifications. But there is one problem, some of the comrades are a bit old."
"More than just a bit old, there are people who are 57 years old, can their energy keep up?"
"Even if it can't keep up, it has to. The situation forces it. Currently, these people are the ones who meet the requirements and have the ability."
"At this critical time, we can make a transition first, talk to them, and overcome the difficulties. At the same time, we need to focus on cultivating new talents... this Chang Xuqin, he's not very old, right? Is he the one I saw at the hospital last time?"
"Yes, that's him. He was supposed to go too, but he fainted due to health reasons before getting on the car. It was quite scary at the time."
"Oh, it's really a blessing in disguise. I don't know much about him, do you guys know him?"
"Seems like this comrade is quite low-key."
"Indeed, I heard from Comrade Xiangqian before, and I've seen him a few times, but I've had little contact with him."
...
The people who said these words were newly transferred in and were still in the stage of getting to know each other, so there might be other reasons.
"No one knows him? What about the organization department? It's your responsibility."
"Well..."
"Let me talk about it. Many years ago, when I was the county magistrate in Renhe County, he was the party secretary of the township. We had more contact during those years."
"Okay, then you go ahead."
"Comrade Qingyun, objectively speaking, this comrade is very outstanding, highly educated, strong abilities, strong principles, and he came down with a unique aura."
"Unique aura?"
"Yes, unique aura, the only one in the whole city."
