Note: On the day of Su Cen's final exams, a major reshuffle in personnel appointments took place at the headquarters of the Dahua Construction Group. The meeting was attended by company leaders and staff members from various departments as well as political and administrative heads from branches and nearby units, numbering nearly 140 people.
The atmosphere inside and outside the company was tense, given that there were over a thousand employees in total at the headquarters alone, not counting family members, all waiting for the final outcome of this personnel decision-making conference.
Outside of these core thousand individuals within the headquarters, various subsidiaries, controlled companies, and joint ventures distributed across cities, counties, provinces, other provinces, and overseas were also observing the power adjustments in Rongcheng's core.
This step was crucial for determining who would ultimately emerge victorious and which faction within the company could reap the greatest benefits.
Although this wasn't an official government body and ordinary people didn't expect to be involved in political intrigues, these were still considered circles of influence akin to a江湖 (jianghu).
The unique landscape of this jianghu influenced many families eagerly awaiting the outcome.
The conference room was packed with leadership appointments and adjustments. The meeting stage was occupied by key decision-makers, union presidents, and party committee members, each displaying varying expressions.
Below them were rows of middle-level managers, department directors, deputy directors, heads of divisions, chiefs, and section leaders all observing attentively, trying to discern some information from the expressions on the faces of those seated above.
The chairman of the company's Party Committee and board chairman Xu Zheng presided over the meeting with assistance from the Human Resources Department director Lu Cheng. The conference was chaired by Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee Chen Zhi.
At the meeting, Lu Cheng, the Minister of Human Resources of the Group Corporation, first announced the personnel appointments and dismissals made by the group: Former Deputy Secretary of the Company’s Party Committee and Discipline Inspection Commissioner Dian Minggui was transferred to serve as the Secretary of the Party Committee at Jianchuan Company; former chairman of the company's trade union Zhao Zhuolin was appointed deputy secretary of the party committee and discipline inspection commissioner.
The corporate governance structure underwent new adjustments, with Xu Jian being appointed executive director and general manager. The former special director Yang Kaifu was nominated as a candidate for the position of chairman of the company’s trade union; Mu Kai was appointed deputy general manager and chief engineer; Li Yuhé no longer concurrently serves as the company's chief engineer.
Ultimately, Junjian Zhen and Licheng Su were appointed deputy general managers.
Xu Jianchuan, Yang Kaifu, Mu Kai, Li Yuhé, Junjian Feng, and Licheng Su successively made solemn statements, presenting their new goals and plans.
The approval of the personnel appointments indicated that those familiar with high-level struggles could discern certain trends. Clearly, in this round of personnel adjustments, Xu Jianchuan's faction gained significant advantages. With the consecutive promotion of Junjian Zhen and Licheng Su to senior management positions, Xu Jianchuan officially ascended to become executive director and general manager.
In contrast, those within the company aligned with Mu Kai’s faction were visibly weakened in varying degrees. Both Mu Kai and Li Yuhé relinquished some of their power, while Yang Kaifu suffered a significant adjustment from a position on the board to that of chairman of the trade union.
The chairmanship of the trade union is often likened to watermelon in summer, fish meat during New Year, tea parties and movie tickets for women’s day, and cigarettes, wine, candy, and tea at various gatherings.
It is therefore understandable why Yang Kaifu's face turned ashen with disappointment.
Mu Kai and Li Yuhé did not show any abnormal reactions and made good statements during the meeting, pledging to continue their dedicated service in their respective positions for the coming year.
At first glance, one might think they were sincerely congratulating Junjian Zhen and Licheng Su on their promotions.
In fact, Mu Kai was most shocked before the personnel appointment, wondering how the board of directors and supervisors could approve Su Licheng's appointment. After voting on the list, there were more votes in favor than against, which should have been what surprised Mu Kai the most. However, he then noticed that when the appointment announcement came out, many middle to upper-level cadres did not react as expected with a commotion or confusion; instead, they seemed unperturbed.
Only then did Mu Kai realize that it appeared their greatest support and authority in Gongxin were inexplicably plummeting!
This was the best news Su Cen had encountered today.
"Dad, what exactly is your role as Vice President" Su Cen asked his father over dinner.
The meal was very sumptuous; firstly, it was during Su Cen's final exam period, requiring proper nutrition for brainpower. Secondly, it celebrated Su Licheng’s promotion to the position of Deputy General Manager in the Group Corporation—a role that would have been unimaginable for him in Su Cen's previous life but had now become a reality.
Su Cen was genuinely happy; he could do what he wanted, which wasn't surprising as his rebirth aimed at changing his fate. However, now not only had he altered his own destiny, but also enabled his father to climb the ladder of success. Su Cen felt that perhaps this interconnectedness in changing others' fates was the true meaning of rebirth and happiness.
"It's nothing significant; just more responsibilities than before. Economic management, market development, corporate management—these are all under my supervision alongside Old Zhong. There are also several subsidiaries to be reorganized, and I might have to travel for work soon."
"Dad, though you say it’s nothing remarkable, if you’re going to smile, just do so in front of your son. No need to pretend; besides, your forced calm facade is even worse off than no facade at all." Su Cen teased.
"You little troublemaker!" Su Licheng held his chopsticks as if ready to hit him but couldn't help laughing, wrinkles on his face seeming to diminish from the joy he felt.
Mother Zeng Ajie spat out, "What your son said is right. Look at you; I’ve been consulting with Old Zhang’s wife and Old Zhong’s spouse about salary standards for this rank. From now on, all your income and bonuses will be handed over."
Su Can felt that his mother resembled a Nazi officer at this moment.
"Sure, sure, as long as you ensure I have money for cigarettes."
Seeing his father patting the soft-pack Zhonghua cigarette in the pocket of his shirt and chuckling, Su Can smiled.
During the period around the end of the semester, a series of personnel changes took place in Xia Hai City and the provincial capital Rong Cheng.
The original member of the Xia Hai Municipal Committee and Secretary of the Organization Department, Wang Bo, was transferred to serve as a Standing Committee Member of the West Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Rong Cheng Municipal Committee. The former Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Rong Cheng Municipal Committee, Yang Zhengliang, was relieved of his post as Secretary of the Rong Cheng Municipal Committee. With Liu Cheng's downfall and the promotion from Wang’s faction, along with the support from Lin’s faction, Wang Bo became an eye-catching political new star in southwestern China.
Along with Wang Bo's advancement, there was another minor adjustment: Su Can's maternal uncle, the original Director of the Xia Hai City Construction Committee and Chief of the Construction Bureau Zeng Quanming, was transferred to serve as Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission in Rong Cheng, overseeing comprehensive development planning department and Western China Development project management department, and the office under the Leading Group for Key Projects in Rong Cheng. Additionally, he also oversees a regional economic cooperation division.
From an administrative level perspective, Su Li Cheng's move was essentially lateral, but it marked his first step into the National Development and Reform Commission, which opened up broad prospects beneath this grand banner.
In Xia Hai City at present, a farewell ceremony is underway.
Sigh. That’s about it for today. I’m so tired. We’ll continue tomorrow.
