"You are so modest!"
Xu Lu complained in her heart, but on the surface, she still said it very politely.
She knew very well that the other party was so young, and he could be transferred from the army to become a county magistrate. There were only two possibilities. Either he had made first-class merits in the army and had a lot of honors, or his family had a big background.
Of course, it could be both.
Am I modest?
Qin Mu didn't know what Xu Lu meant for a moment, and he was not wrong. According to past experience, people who transferred from the army to the local government started from a sinecure.
He was a deputy regimental-level cadre in the army. When he transferred to the local government, he basically enjoyed the treatment of a deputy division-level cadre and was assigned a regular section-level position. Moreover, the position he was assigned was generally a sinecure. It was basically impossible for a person without local political experience to directly hold an important position.
However, he did not say much to Xu Lu. The officialdom was deep as the sea, and he was not familiar with the other party. It would be bad to say too much, which would expose his suspicion.
"Please come in!"
After going up to the fifth floor, Xu Lu led Qin Mu straight to the innermost office and knocked on the door. A man's deep voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
Xu Lu immediately opened the door, walked in, and said, "Minister, Comrade Qin Mu is here!"
After that, she motioned Qin Mu to come in.
"Hello, Minister Chen!"
Qin Mu walked forward and greeted the middle-aged man sitting in front of a pile of files.
"Grandpa Qin's grandson is really different!"
Chen Wenhua looked up at Qin Mu, nodded slightly, and said, "Sit down, wait for me for two minutes!"
"Okay!"
Qin Mu responded and pulled a chair to sit down. He looked carefree and didn't seem to be restrained at all.
Xu Lu, who was watching this scene, had already guessed in her heart. In her opinion, Qin Mu was so casual in front of Minister Chen, so he must have a big shot at home, such as the old man Qin mentioned by Minister Chen!
But what she didn't know was that Qin Mu usually met many army-level leaders in the army, so how could he take Chen Wenhua, who was at the deputy department level, seriously?
Xu Lu wanted to stay and listen, but unfortunately, her level was not high enough, so she had to leave first.
"You are the captain of the Flying Eagle Battalion in the army, deputy regiment level, right?"
Chen Wenhua closed the folder and asked.
"Yes."
Qin Mu nodded in response.
"We are very cautious about the transfer of outstanding comrades like you. Considering your own wishes, you want to go to Huaining County, so our Organization Department has decided to appoint you as the deputy secretary of the Huaining County Party Committee, nominate you as the deputy county magistrate, and act as the county magistrate!"
After Chen Wenhua finished speaking, Qin Mu's eyes were full of surprise.
Too crazy, right?
Let him, a retired soldier, act as the county magistrate?
He has no experience in local politics, and he directly serves as the acting county magistrate. This appointment is too bold!
"Minister Chen, isn't this arrangement a bit exaggerated?"
Qin Mu took a deep breath and said seriously.
"Why, do you think you are too high a position?"
Chen Wenhua chuckled and asked back.
"The higher the position, the better."
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "But we must also consider the actual situation. After all, I have no experience in local politics. If I rashly take up such an important position as the county magistrate, I am afraid that I will fail the trust of the organization!"
"The leaders of the municipal party committee and I have considered this."
Chen Wenhua waved his hand slightly and said, "Secretary Li of the municipal party committee thinks that you are a soldier, have principles and bottom lines, and have made countless military achievements at a young age. You are a role model for young cadres. Letting you serve as the acting county magistrate is a compliment to your past!"
"At the same time, when you go to Huaining County, there will be a six-month probation period. If you pass the probation, you will be promoted to a regular position. If you fail, you will be transferred to another position and appointed!"
Got it!
Acting as the county magistrate is an assessment. If you pass it, you will be promoted to the county magistrate. If you fail, you will be transferred to another place.
"Okay, Minister Chen, I will obey the organization's arrangement."
Qin Mu said without hesitation.
"I will send you to Huaining County to take office at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Chen Wenhua continued: "If you have nothing else to say, you can go back."
"Okay, Minister Chen, goodbye!"
Qin Mu naturally had nothing to say, so he stood up and went out directly.
Chen Wenhua looked at Qin Mu's back, thought for a while, stood up and walked out of the office, and went straight to the office of Li Guobin, the secretary of the municipal party committee.
"Secretary Li, I just met Comrade Qin Mu and conveyed the opinions of the municipal party committee to him."
Chen Wenhua said simply.
"Didn't he say anything?"
Li Guobin put down the pen in his hand with interest and asked curiously.
"He didn't say anything, and seemed very confident. He just simply declined and said he would obey the organization's decision."
Chen Wenhua smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Qin and Minister Qin have made arrangements. Although Huaining County is a difficult place, Qin Mu will basically have no problems as long as he can get a good job there!"
"That's right, we are worrying too much."
Li Guobin nodded, "Huaining County has always been the poorest and most backward area in Jiangzhou City. Arranging Qin Mu to go there is probably to increase the value of this experience and pave the way for the next promotion!"
"We just do it, Mr. Qin and Minister Qin will make their own arrangements!"
The two of them are very clear about Qin Mu's background. There is a respected veteran in his family, and a ministerial-level senior official. Arranging him to work in a poor and backward village like Huaining County must be for gilding!
Because training in a poor and backward area is definitely more convincing, and writing this on the resume is even more dazzling.
However, they didn't know that Qin Mu's choice to go to Huaining County was purely an accident. If he was given another chance, he would definitely choose to continue to serve in the army.
...
"County Magistrate Qin, let me add you as a friend. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time!"
After leaving the office, Xu Lu accompanied Qin Mu downstairs. In the elevator, Xu Lu took the initiative to add Qin Mu as a friend.
"Sure!"
Qin Mu did not refuse. The other party worked in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. If the relationship was good in the future, he could get inside information in advance!
He, an outsider, knew that the Organization Department was as famous as the two offices and the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It was the easiest place for countless civil servants to "progress". With the power of personnel, it would not hurt to make more friends.
"Excuse me, are you married?"
Xu Lu added the friend, and there was no one in the elevator. She mustered up the courage and asked seriously.
"No, actually I just broke up."
Qin Mu smiled bitterly and said the truth.
What?
Just broke up?
Isn't this a good opportunity?
Xu Lu's eyes lit up. A man as outstanding as Qin Mu would not be single for too long. If she could take the initiative at this time, there would still be a chance.
"You are such an outstanding person, you must have a girlfriend."
Xu Lu immediately moved closer and stood next to Qin Mu. With a shy smile, she said, "Do you have friends in Jiangzhou? If not, I can treat you to a meal. After breaking up, you should eat more and talk to friends, so you won't feel bored."
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door opened.
Before Qin Mu had time to speak, he immediately felt a different kind of pressure.
He subconsciously looked outside the door, and a familiar figure came into view.
Zhao Yanan!
What a narrow road for enemies!
