Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"Hey, I originally wanted to help you get a deputy department-level position, but now I can only let you be a division-level cadre first."

Commander Wei looked up, unable to hide his loneliness.

Upon learning that Cheng Hao was planning to leave the army, Commander Wei was angry at first, but he soon calmed down. It is not uncommon for people to leave the army after a war, after all, not everyone can withstand the damage caused by war.

After feeling relieved, Commander Wei began to move around the city, trying to find a job for Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao has made outstanding contributions and has now retired from the military. As his superior, Commander Wei certainly hopes that he will have a good outcome.

"Department-level cadre?"

Cheng Hao was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted and a smile appeared on his face.

"Master, I am really sorry to trouble you."

Cheng Hao's original position was the head of a regiment, which was equivalent to a local department-level cadre. This arrangement was considered a horizontal dispatch. Considering the troubles in the transfer process, this was already a great privilege for Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao originally thought that being able to reach the deputy director level would be good enough. Today's situation is indeed a pleasant surprise.

Commander Wei couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Cheng Hao's delighted expression.

"Look at you, you are satisfied with just being a department-level cadre?

I tell you, no matter where you transfer to, you are still a member of our division. If you dare to be lazy and slack off when you get there, and damage the reputation of our division, don't blame me for being rude.

What's the point of being a department-level official? I'll work hard and accomplish great things, so that others will know that none of the soldiers under my command are cowards!"

Commander Wei came here in person today not to lose his temper, but to personally inform Cheng Hao of the good news.

Cheng Hao was successfully transferred to a local position and had a good future. Only then did Commander Wei feel relieved.

"Yes, Commander!"

Cheng Hao stood at attention and respectfully saluted Commander Wei.

During these years in the army, the senior officers in the army have taken good care of Cheng Hao, and he is actually reluctant to let them go.

However, the country's main task in the future is development and construction, and transferring to a local position can also contribute to the country. As long as you do your job well, you will also be worthy of the cultivation of Teacher Wei and others.

……

Within a few days, Cheng Hao's transfer was finalized.

Cheng Hao officially resigned from the position of head of the 702nd Regiment and became the director of the Xining Sub-district Office.

Sijiu City is the best place and is itself a provincial-level administrative unit. The districts and counties under it are benchmarked against other municipal-level units, and the sub-district offices where the districts are located are benchmarked against other county-level units.

Although the director of Xining Subdistrict Office may not sound impressive, he is actually a real department-level cadre. Xining Subdistrict Office is located in the inner second ring road, not far from Xizhimen. Cheng Hao has a very convenient commute to get off work, which is definitely a good position.

If it weren't for Cheng Hao's outstanding military achievements and the help of Commander Wei, he would never have been able to get this job.

On the day he received the transfer order, Cheng Hao packed his luggage after completing the handover procedures with the troops and went to report to the Xining Sub-district Office.

Xining Street, located in the inner second ring road, is very prosperous. During the day, there are heavy traffic and pedestrians, making it very lively.

Following the crowded crowd, Cheng Hao walked to the center of Xining Street. He didn't need to ask for directions. When he looked up, he saw a striking sign with "Xining Sub-district Office" hanging on a three-story building on the inside of the intersection.

Cheng Hao walked past the marble columns outside the door and entered the Xining Sub-district Office. As soon as he entered, he saw several lines of people waiting to do business in front of the counter in the middle of the lobby. The line was so long that it almost reached the door.

A young staff member saw Cheng Hao standing at the door, and hurried forward, pointed at the line and said, "Comrade, if you want to get service, please line up here."

Seeing the other party's enthusiastic attitude, Cheng Hao smiled slightly, took out the document from his pocket and handed it over.

"Little comrade, what's your name?"

The young man named Liu Min took a quick look at the ID card and immediately said in a lost voice: "You...you are the new Director Cheng? Excuse me, my name is Liu Min, and I am a temporary worker in the Street Office. Please come in, I will ask Deputy Director Luo to come over."

The country was founded only a few years ago, and the large-scale war just ended this year. Many government departments are not as perfect as those in later generations. Some government departments with tight staff will recruit temporary workers to alleviate urgent needs. If these temporary workers do a good job, they will also have the opportunity to become regular employees.

"No, just take me there."

Cheng Hao had just taken office but he did not put on much official airs. He went directly to find Deputy Director Luo and learned about the basic situation of the street office along the way.

"Ok."

Cheng Hao spoke personally, so Liu Min, a temporary worker, certainly didn't dare to disobey.

The two walked across the hall one after the other and went upstairs.

The Xining Sub-district Office is divided into three floors. The first floor is the office, the second floor is where the sub-district officials work, and the third floor is where the director, deputy director and other cadres work.

Cheng Hao and the other person arrived at the door of Deputy Director Luo's office. Before they went up to knock on the door, they heard laughter coming from inside.

Cheng Hao frowned slightly and looked at Liu Min beside him. He had no idea what was going on inside in broad daylight.

Facing Cheng Hao's question, Liu Min just lowered his head and smiled bitterly, remaining silent. However, at Cheng Hao's signal, he still went forward and knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

As there was a knock on the door, the laughter in the room stopped, and then an unhappy male voice was heard.

"Who?"

"Director Luo, the new Director Cheng is here."

"Oh, I see. I'll be right there."

Deputy Director Luo responded impatiently and came out to open the door after a long while.

As soon as the door opened, the obese, fat and big-eared Deputy Director Luo bumped into Cheng Hao who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Through the door, Cheng Hao saw two female comrades sitting casually at the desks in the office. It seemed that the laughter just now came from them.

"You are……"

Deputy Director Luo obviously did not expect Cheng Hao to come up directly, and he was a little at a loss when he thought of the female comrades in the office.

"Director Luo, I'm the new Cheng Hao. Could you please show me the work of the Street Office?"

Cheng Hao restrained his expression before Director Luo came out, and his face was calm at this moment, as if he didn't notice anything unusual about the other party.

"Oh, it's Director Cheng. Our subdistrict office is waiting for you."

Deputy Director Luo was a seasoned man and reacted quickly. Following Cheng Hao's words, he took him to inspect the layout of the Xining Sub-district Office.

The street office is not big, but Deputy Director Luo gave explanations as we walked, and it was already noon when we finished the tour.

The street office can be said to be the most basic administrative unit in the old city. It is responsible for implementing the superior's line and policy instructions, guiding the work of the lower-level neighborhood committees, ideological construction, cultural activities and a series of other matters.

Moreover, since the government system is not yet perfect, the street office also has many other functions, such as maintaining local public security and guarding against saboteurs.

Although the position of the street office director is not high, he has considerable power.

After gaining a rough understanding of the work of the subdistrict office and moving into the director's office, Cheng Hao's administrative career officially began.
