Entering the officialdom by mistake and getting promoted quickly

This middle-aged man is the assistant to the minister.

Even though he is just an assistant, his rank is astonishingly high. Due to the reform and opening up, the Ministry of Industry is an important ministry and other ministers are at the ministerial level, but the Minister of Industry is assigned as a State Councilor.

Correspondingly, the assistant level is also high.

Assistant ministers in other ministries are generally at the department level, but this assistant at the Ministry of Industry is at the deputy ministerial level.

A deputy minister was dispatched to personally inform Xia Shuo. This made everyone in Qi Province stunned and secretly exchanged glances with each other.

"Good guy, what's going on with Comrade Xia Shuo?"

"Not only did Vice Governor Liu look kind and cheerful, but the Minister of the Ministry of Industry personally called his name. Now, it's actually an assistant at the deputy ministerial level who personally came to inform."

"Are the rumors true?"

"This guy really has a backing in the capital?"

"It is said that his partner's surname is Gu. Is he really from the Gu family in the capital?"

Everyone quietly exchanged glances, and Xia Shuo greeted the assistant and said respectfully: "Hello, leader, I am Xia Shuo."

The assistant nodded, without any fluctuations in his expression, and said calmly: "Follow me, Minister Zhou is waiting for you."

After saying that, he turned around without paying any attention to everyone in Qi Province.

Xia Shuo looked at everyone, nodded slightly to say goodbye, then quickly raised his feet and followed the assistant.

Looking at the assistant and Xia Shuo's retreating figures, everyone in Qi Province dared to talk about it, and said one after another: "Tell me, what is Xia Shuo's origin? It is said that he was born a farmer, and his family has been farming for generations."

"Is it true that this guy is relying on nepotism as the rumors say?"

These discussions were mixed, and even due to envy and jealousy, there was hidden malice in the discussions.

At this time, a division chief spoke coldly and said to everyone: "In my opinion, it is his ability. If any of you can handle the heavy industry project, you will also receive the same treatment as Xia Shuo."

"You don't need heavy industry with a level of 2 million yuan. You can just get one with a level of tens of millions. No matter who has this ability, the province will definitely treat you as a treasure."

The director's beating was obviously out of public motives. Everyone immediately laughed and no one dared to talk about Xia Shuo anymore.

At the same time, in the elevator of the ministry building, the assistant's expression was no longer serious, but showed an intriguing smile.

He stared at Xia Shuo as if he was looking at something strange. Because his gaze was so strange, it made Xia Shuo feel a little nervous.

Finally, Xia Shuo couldn't hold it on any longer, so he forced himself to speak, and said cautiously: "Leader, your look scares me..."

"Hahahaha, I thought you were brave."

The assistant laughed, as if he was very proud of his prank. The dignified deputy ministerial leader, a powerful figure in the Ministry of Industry, had just acted like a child, deliberately scaring a deputy county level official.

This situation was very unusual, and Xia Shuo immediately realized that something was wrong.

He hesitated slightly and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, who are you?"

But I saw the assistant smiling leisurely, with a friendly tone in his tone, and introduced himself: "Let me meet you, I am Li Xiucheng."

"Why are you so stunned?"

"Haven't you heard of this name?"

"Gu Changzheng is my brother-in-law, and Gu Mingyue is my niece. Didn't that girl mention me? You have to call me uncle."

What the hell!

Another relative at the deputy ministerial level.

Xia Shuo was stunned and felt a little confused.

He saw that this man was young, only in his early 4s at most. Just now he was wondering in his mind which elite person this was, but to his surprise, he turned out to be Gu Mingyue's uncle. "

I remembered!

Gu Mingyue told herself specifically.

It is said that this brother-in-law has a strange personality and has been known to cause trouble since he was a child. When he was young, he once broke the leg of a young man from another family because of jealousy.

It is also said that there were a few ruthless people in the capital in those years, and one of them was this uncle.

However, as they grew older and the country became more and more strict, these ruthless people gradually became more honest, and the absurd things in the early years never happened again.

Xia Shuo recalled Gu Mingyue's introduction in his mind, but he did not forget to address him promptly and respectfully shouted: "Hello, uncle."

There is nothing wrong with being sweet-mouthed, and even being shy on purpose will make the elders feel more satisfied.

So he immediately added another sentence, deliberately pretending to be frightened and said: "The look in your eyes just now made my heart beat wildly. Uncle, I was scared. You have to make it up to me. You have to make it up to me."

"Hahahaha!"

Li Xiucheng laughed again, reached out and knocked Xia Shuo on the forehead, and pretended to reprimand: "You brat, you are so funny, and you are doing this in front of me. It is just a joke. When I was ten years old, I was already doing this. Better than you."

Although he was scolding him, he was actually very happy. It was obvious that Xia Shuo's actions brought back his memories and made him feel satisfied with Xia Shuo.

This man is already middle-aged and holds a high position in the deputy department, but his behavior still vaguely reveals the absurd flavor of his youth. This shows that he was indeed a demon king back then.

Xia Shuo now finally understood why the deputy minister was dispatched to call him. It turned out that he was a relative and his brother-in-law.

Since we are relatives, the pressure is less. Xia Shuo smiled and leaned over, deliberately sneaking around, and asked: "Uncle, what's going on? Ordinarily, with my current level, I'm not qualified to be summoned by the minister, right?"

"The Minister of Industry, a high-ranking State Councilor, this is a deputy state-level boss, a proper real-power boss."

"If the minister wants to know about the project, he can ask Qi Province to send someone to report to him at any time. And at least he must be the deputy governor to be qualified to meet such a big shot, right?"

"But why did you meet me, a little person, by name?"

"Brother, please tell me the truth. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

In response to Xia Shuo's anxious question, Li Xiucheng reached out and knocked on him again, saying: "Don't think nonsense, big leaders are also human beings. The reason why the minister wants to see you is not to ask about your project..."

Li Xiucheng paused as he spoke, staring at Xia Shuo. His tone was obviously full of approval, like an elder praising a child: "I have to say, your kid is really a treasure. The lottery you won in Yicheng City, let us Both the Li family and the Gu family are greatly embarrassed."

Xia Shuo was slightly stunned and said in astonishment: "Win the lottery? What lottery?"

Li Xiucheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "The special issue of Yicheng Evening News, those special photos, the people spontaneously give you things, and quietly protect you in the night..."

"Baby, you are not simple!"

"This is a great job, many leaders are praising you."

"Even my old man and the old man who cares about the girl have been mentioning you continuously in the past few days and think you are a good little guy."

Xia Shuo's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "The old man praises me?"

Li Xiucheng chuckled, nodded and said, "How do you feel? Do you feel proud? You little thing is such a treasure."

This man's character was indeed strange, and his way of complimenting others was unique. He called Xia Shuo his "darling egg" twice in a row.

Xia Shuo couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

A dignified deputy ministerial level cadre is like this.

At this moment, the elevator dinged. Li Xiucheng suddenly looked serious, and his behavior was no longer frivolous. He warned: "When we talk later, just be a good baby. Remember, there is no need to say more, and there is no need to say anything." Show more..."

"You are just like a child, just be well behaved."

"Big leaders like children who are frank. If you deliberately show your ability, it will not be good. Remember, frank, frank, still frank."

"Remember, the leader's appreciation is very important. He will have to take a step up during the next change of leadership."

Want to take one more step up?

Xia Shuo's heart suddenly jumped wildly.

This minister is now highly appointed to the committee. What will happen if he gets promoted next?

God, I dare not think about it.
