Chapter 1382 Qualification

After the incident with Meng Tangang, Li Xinmin originally planned to take the opportunity to fight for greater authority for the Propaganda Department and expand his power, after all, Yang Shutan was his man.

Although Director Yang was pragmatic, he was not an honest man who only worked silently. His methods were also very sophisticated, otherwise he would not have been able to stand firm for so many years.

After the accident, he reported to his superiors immediately, saying that the reason for this was that he had already started to rectify the propaganda department, which caused some people to counterattack, leading to such consequences.

Director Yang said that this would not shake his determination, and he would unswervingly insist on rectification and resolutely eliminate black sheep like Meng Tangang.

It was because of his first report that the accident was redefined. It was originally a major work mistake of Director Yang who did not attach importance to propaganda work, but now it has become a good performance of his firm and steady progress against all difficulties.

Meng Tangang was previously punished, but it became evidence that he was improving the propaganda department.

Li Xinmin was a step late and missed a good opportunity to strike Director Yang.

Director Yang was the first to take the initiative and made drastic changes to the Propaganda Department.

First, the Propaganda Department was upgraded to the deputy division level, and the level of the department head was also upgraded from the original section to the deputy division level, and he also served as the deputy director.

This move hit Li Xinmin right in the saddle!

There is no eternal position, only eternal interests.

It is true that Yang Shutan was promoted by Li Xinmin, but Li Xinmin could not put Yang Shutan on the same level as him.

Li Xinmin himself was only a deputy division-level cadre, and he could not and was not qualified to promote Yang Shutan to a deputy division-level cadre.

But Director Yang, as the top leader, was qualified.

Even if the final decision was not in his hands, he still needed to report to the district committee, but the higher-level leadership department would never easily reject the personnel proposal of the top leader of the state-owned large factory below, and would not easily intervene in the personnel appointment and removal of the lower-level units.

As long as the procedures of the steel rolling mill are legal and compliant, the inspection of cadres by the Organization Department above is just a routine process, and generally there will be no accidents.

Therefore, this deputy division-level quota is equivalent to being in the hands of Director Yang.

And Yang Shutan needs this quota!

This propaganda section chief, who already has his own little thoughts, is not loyal to Li Xinmin at all. After knowing this situation, he does not need Director Yang to win him over. He took the initiative to approach him and surrender to Director Yang, changing his ways.

Because the propaganda section was indeed not valued before, the following section chiefs did not have Li Xinmin's people, even like Li Dengfeng and Yang Weimin, the former is Yang Shutan's confidant, and the latter is Director Yang's son, who is an enemy rather than a friend of Li Xinmin.

In this way, the propaganda section is completely out of Li Xinmin's control.

A deputy division-level department is about to be born, but this department is out of his control, which is unacceptable to Li Xinmin, who is keen on power.

But Director Yang has taken the absolute initiative, and Yang Shutan betrayed him again. He really has no room for maneuver in this matter.

After thinking carefully, he only had one card to play.

It was Su Yuanchao, a specially recruited college student who had just reported for work yesterday!

What could a newcomer who had just entered the factory do?

Although Li Xinmin thought Su Yi was a talent, a new clerk had no right to participate in this level of struggle!

Li Xinmin was fighting for an ally at the deputy division level and a subordinate at the section level, and Su Yi's administrative level was far from that.

Su Yi still had several steps to go before he could become a deputy section level, and he had several years of experience to endure, not to mention a section level?

Originally, Li Xinmin had already lost the battle and was powerless to turn the tide.

But it happened that when Meng Tangang left, the position of editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper was vacant.

This was a position with a threshold, and not everyone could take it.

Meng Tangang, the editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper, was only at the clerk level, and was just a show.

The change of a clerk's position only needed to be decided by the department itself, and there was no need to discuss it at the level of the factory leadership meeting.

But since Director Yang wanted to rectify the propaganda department, he would not just do it casually. Instead, he had to come up with a practical plan before he could explain it.

In order to show his emphasis on propaganda work, Director Yang's second step was to redefine the powers.

He believed that the previous division of powers among the various sections of the Propaganda Department was unreasonable and had no focus, resulting in "a group of loose sand".

He proposed to merge the existing four sections of the Propaganda Department and another similar section into three sections.

The General Office retained its original powers and was upgraded to a regular department.

The third section was called the "News and Broadcasting Station", which merged the Art Section and the Broadcasting Station into one section.

Director Yang was still pragmatic as always. He believed that "playful things" such as art performances and sports activities could be done casually. The focus of propaganda work was still policy propaganda and news broadcasting. He believed that the role of the factory newspaper should be more valued and decided to revise the factory newspaper. The focus of the factory newspaper should be on seriousness, and it could no longer be done by writing a few crooked poems or trivial stories like before.

Therefore, the focus of the third department is to run the factory newspaper well and give full play to the propaganda advantages of the newspaper. The person in charge of this department must also be the editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper.

Who will be the editor-in-chief?

The most suitable candidate turned out to be Shen Hongyan!

Shen Hongyan had already decided to retire in half a year and enjoy a pension at the level of a section chief. In other words, Shen Hongyan's section-level treatment was already determined. If he was appointed as the section chief of this new section, there would be no need to consider transferring people from other sections or promoting cadres from below.

More importantly, the old comrade was steady in his work, and it would be more reassuring to hand over this highly valued section to Shen Hongyan, who already had experience in this area. Moreover, Shen Hongyan himself was particularly willing to work for two more years in the position of a section chief and delay retirement. In this way, his retirement treatment might become that of a deputy director in two years, which was a good thing.

So the old comrade who was supposed to retire excitedly expressed his willingness to stay and continue to play his remaining heat in the conference room.

But he, the editor-in-chief, was not like the previous editor-in-chief Meng Tangang, who was just a clerk.

He was only responsible for the final approval process. The specific work of writing, organizing manuscripts, typesetting, and printing in the early stage still required a professional to be responsible for implementation.

So Shen Hongyan also needed a deputy editor-in-chief.

This deputy editor-in-chief is actually the real person in charge of the factory newspaper, and the administrative level of this deputy editor-in-chief will be the deputy section level!

There is no suitable candidate among the existing deputy section cadres.

In this way, what was originally a clerk's work allocation problem has now become a deputy section cadre selection problem.

Moreover, the factory newspaper is now under the attention of Director Yang, which is equivalent to a key task registered with the top leader, so the personnel appointment of the deputy editor-in-chief has become an important topic that needs to be discussed at the meeting.

Since there are still seven days before the factory newspaper is published, the appointment of this deputy editor-in-chief must be reported and decided before tomorrow, and the time is very urgent.

Of course, it is impossible to directly promote to deputy section and take office in one day, which is not in line with the process regulations.

Therefore, the administrative level of this deputy editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper is still only the clerk level for the time being, but in fact, he is already a deputy section leader within the department, but the administrative level will not be officially promoted until one year later. During this year, it is only an internal appointment within the department, not a formal deputy section leader, but he can get an extra four yuan leadership position subsidy every month.

Let's put it this way, as long as you can become a deputy editor, the treatment of a deputy section chief is basically in your pocket.

Anyone who knows something about working within the system knows that this promotion to deputy section chief is a hurdle, a hurdle that many people cannot overcome in their lifetime.

Although according to relevant regulations, as long as you have relevant academic qualifications, have worked as a section chief for three years, have certain grassroots work experience, and have received excellent annual assessments within the unit for three consecutive years, you will meet the conditions for promotion to deputy section chief.

But in reality, even if all the conditions are met, they are often restricted by various subjective or objective factors and have no chance of promotion, especially in grassroots units at the county level or lower, where there are many old section chiefs who have never been promoted to deputy section chiefs in their entire lives.

There is a saying called "deputy section chief disease", which refers to the old section chiefs working in county and township units. Their lifelong wish is to be promoted to deputy section-level cadres, and this gives rise to a mental illness.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is also a grassroots unit. Although the promotion of cadres in this era is not as strict as in later generations, the imperfection of the rules makes it more difficult for ordinary people to be promoted to deputy section chiefs.

Now there is an opportunity to be promoted to deputy section chief. It would be strange if those who have the opportunity to compete don't fight with each other.

At the emergency meeting of the factory leaders, each leader nominated his own people to compete for this position. Zhai Baoguo, the head of the factory's personnel and internal affairs department, looked through the personnel files and conducted a preliminary qualification review of the nominees of the leaders present on the spot, and finally selected three candidates.

The first one is Li Lucheng, who originally met all the qualifications for promotion and was originally going to take over Shen Hongyan's class, but was interrupted by Su Yi.

The second one is a secretary in the United Front Department, named Zhang Chunmei, who also meets all the conditions.

But her education level is a little worse, with only a junior high school education level.

The third one is basically a runner-up, with no work experience and lack of qualifications. He was nominated just to get the nomination qualification to facilitate the next promotion, which is not worth mentioning.

Li Lucheng was the candidate recommended by Yang Shutan. Yang Shutan joined Director Yang, and his nomination was also supported by Director Yang.

Zhang Chunmei was the candidate recommended by another deputy director in charge of production, and was supported by the former head of the United Front Work Department and some neutral leaders.

If nothing unexpected happened, the deputy editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper should have been born between these two people.

But Li Xinmin was anxious.

In such a major personnel transfer, Li Xinmin not only suffered heavy losses, but now he can't even participate!

How can this be?

This matter is not only about his face, but also about his dignity in the factory and his future authority!

People are very realistic. If Li Xinmin fails this time and gets nothing, the small and middle-level leaders who follow him will be uneasy and change their minds. If things go wrong, they will re-align and abandon him like Yang Shutan.

If things go wrong, this incident may be a watershed in Li Xinmin's career. From then on, he will never recover and it will be difficult for him to compete with Director Yang.

This is something that is very likely to happen, and Li Xinmin cannot allow this to happen, so he must react and do his best to stop Director Yang from "conquering the city" and seizing his territory.

But in a hurry, Li Xinmin really has no suitable candidate to recommend.

This is not an ordinary leadership position, but a leadership position that requires certain literary skills and relevant writing experience, as well as meeting all promotion conditions.

People nowadays generally have low levels of education. Among educated people, candidates who have writing skills and meet the requirements are even rarer.

Li Xinmin tried to propose two candidates, but they were rejected on the spot. Many people even showed doubts and dissatisfaction, thinking that he was ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry.

At this moment, Li Xinmin thought of Su Yi.

It's like he grabbed the last straw!

A college student, a literature major, and a specially recruited talent. Putting these three conditions together, everyone felt that Su Yi should give it a try. It was really suitable.

But Su Yi's qualifications are a big problem.

He just joined the factory yesterday, and he is a very new kid. Normally, no matter how smooth things go, Su Yi will have to wait for another three years after completing his one-year internship and becoming a full-time employee before he is qualified to be promoted to associate degree. .

Su Yi is just an intern now and has no qualifications to be promoted.

But this is not absolute. After all, there is still the concept of "breaking the rules". Otherwise, Li Xinmin would not be able to put Su Yi next to Shen Hongyan, intending to let Su Yi take over Shen Hongyan's class in half a year.

But even if you break the rules, you won't be able to break the rules on the second day after arriving.

This is not an exception, this is chaos.

Li Xinmin's proposal was once again opposed by almost everyone.

But this time Li Xinmin's mentality was stable.

He asked slowly: "Are we recruiting deputy section cadres now? Aren't we just discussing the job transfer of the deputy editor of the factory newspaper? Isn't this position a clerk position now? Is Su Yuanchao a clerk? Why is he not qualified? Election?"

"As for whether the position will be mentioned as a minor subject after one year, that will also be a matter of one year later. Do we need to consider it now?"

The blow was precise, and Li Xinmin counterattacked successfully!

But that's all. After all, his words can't change the fact that Su Yi has just arrived. The leaders don't know him, so they can't trust him. Moreover, this position is a quasi-associate department. This is tacitly understood. You, Li Xinmin, have secretly changed the concept, but we are not fools.

Therefore, the situation was still very unfavorable for Li Xinmin. Not only did Director Yang and Yang Shutan strongly oppose it, but even Shen Hongyan implicitly stated that he wanted to be on the safe side. After all, he, a serious professional, also needed Director Yang's approval before he could give it to him.

But Li Xinmin was not a paper tiger after all. After his repeated arguments, he still won Su Yi a qualification to compete.

That is, unless Su Yi can prove that he is more suitable to be deputy editor-in-chief than Li Chengli and Zhang Chunmei, and his ability is recognized by more than half of the factory leaders, otherwise he, a specially recruited college student, should just go and work for the deputy editor-in-chief to gain qualifications. .
