Since becoming a global transport hub city, Shanzhong City, along with Jiangcheng and Shancheng, would be elevated in administrative status to a higher-tier city.
Lin Yu just happened to be serving in a district of Shanzhong City, and over the past year, through his efforts in attracting business, he had brought in many employnt opportunities and revenue for the local area, eventually rising to be the third in command for his district’s business attraction efforts.
Following that, the administrative status of the entire Shanzhong City changed, with plans to rge all districts into a single jurisdiction!
Similar to Jiangcheng, but with Shanzhong City being only a third of Jiangcheng’s land area, it wasn’t feasible to establish 16 jurisdictions like Jiangcheng did.
After a high-level eting, it was decided that the original 20 districts of Shanzhong City would be rged into 7 jurisdictions.
Every three districts would be rged into one jurisdiction.
The rger work would follow a well-planned roadmap.
All these were to be decided through etings by the higher-ups from Beijing.
As for how to reorganize the teams from the three districts and appoint them as main administrators of the new jurisdiction after the rger, that was sothing for the City Leader of Shanzhong City and others to decide.
"Ladies and gentlen, how do you see the appointnt list for the three managers of the Huan City jurisdiction?"
The forr City Leader of Shanzhong City asked his colleagues during the eting.
He had already made decisions on the appointnt lists for the first few jurisdictions.
However, there were no familiar subordinates on the list for the [Huan City] jurisdiction, so he turned to his right- and left-hand n for their input.
Perhaps they had their own candidates on the list since his people had already been put forward, so it was only fair to give opportunities to others as well.
Upon asking, the rest of those present understood.
It ant he was looking to spread the benefits around evenly.
As a result, everyone present took a look at the performance list for the [Huan City] jurisdiction.
Ranked at the top was none other than Lin Yu.
Based on previous performances, he should be first among the ten administrative competitors across the three districts.
But in front of the high-level authorities dividing the spoils, strength didn’t an everything!
Instantly, the second in command smiled and said, "I think Chen Yi has done a very good job as district City Leader previously."
Chen Yi was ranked seventh on the list.
Honestly, his resu and performance were average, but he just so happened to be the second in command’s man.
The third in charge, anwhile, casually said, "Chen Yi is not bad, but for the overall situation after the rger, I recomnd ng Wei for his capabilities."
Goodness, the other subordinates simply looked at the docunts without a word; they knew better than to speak up in such matters.
At most, they could fill middle to lower-level vacant positions with their connections after the rger, but they wouldn’t touch the positions involving core managers.
Fearing a dispute between his two deputies, the Big Housekeeper, Wang Qi, simply said, "How about this, there’s one more jurisdiction. Third in command, why don’t you take another look?"
The third in command then backed down, effectively conceding this round to the second in command.
anwhile, in the office building of Shanzhong City, the managent teams of the rging entities t and exchanged pleasantries.
Inside the temporary unit of the [Huan City] jurisdiction, Lin Yu walked in to see his team’s previous top two leaders. After a warm greeting, they sat down together.
The original teams from the other two districts were also present, including Chen Yi and ng Wei from the list, each the top leader of their own district.
After shaking hands and introducing themselves to Lin Yu, they took seats in a corner.
This attitude sowhat offended Chen Yi and ng Wei.
Before then, others had been trying their best to flatter the two of them.
Lin Yu’s district leader, Cai Jing, whispered to him, "You should talk more with those two. If there are no surprises, our jurisdiction’s top two leaders might erge from among them."
Lin Yu was curious, "Have they got backing?"
Cai Jing nodded and whispered in Lin Yu’s ear, "I heard they have connections in the city governnt."
"Oh," Lin Yu simply nodded, looking at his own superiors and said, "If you two aren’t worried, why should I, a third in command, worry?"
Cai Jing chuckled and said, "Us two? Forget it, we who can’t climb high in the sectarian world and are just Loose Cultivators have no chance of rising. But for you, who rose from a low-level employee to third in command in just one year—if you say you have no connections, I wouldn’t believe it!"
The second in command nodded in agreent, adding, "That’s right, old Cai and I have been gatekeepers for so long, I’ve never seen anyone rocket up the ranks like you. You must have a background too, but I still recomnd not making enemies with those two, to avoid your support getting overshadowed by their backing!"
"No worries," Lin Yu was nonchalant.
The group waited like this for the preliminary list of results to be finalized after the eting.
When the city team eting concluded, the proposed list ca out.
Indeed, Chen Yi and ng Wei were the nominees for the top two positions in the [Huan City] jurisdiction!
However, this list, once it reached Wei Chen, was rejected and sent back.
This caught the Shanzhong City team off guard.
But they quickly realized that sothing might have been overlooked in this appointnt list.
After all, it was a list of benefits, and perhaps the slice intended for the higher-ups hadn’t been cut correctly, hence the rejection!
Gao Qi personally made a trip to Dongguang City, but Wei Chen was too busy to et him.
Instead, Wei Chen’s secretary ca out with the list and spoke to Gao Qi, "In the original list for the Huan City jurisdiction, the leader saw that Lin Yu was ranked first, didn’t you? How could you place seventh-ranked Chen Yi at the top? That doesn’t seem very proper. Shanzhong City is to beco a major city in the future, so naturally, you should prioritize capability in managing a jurisdiction."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gao Qi, embarrassed, continuously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In fact, hadn’t the lists for other jurisdictions been changed as well?
That the secretary specifically brought up the Huan City jurisdiction list ant that Lin Yu had clout!
And it was Wei Chen’s secretary who reminded him.
Implying that Lin Yu was backed by Wei Chen!
"I’ll go back and make the changes right away."
Offending Wei Chen at this point was not an option; before he could even firmly establish his position in Shanzhong City, the powers that be could kick him out of the Dongguang system!
That evening, Lin Yu received a phone call.
It was from Wei Chen himself.
Previously, his son Wei Changqing had sided with Zhao Xinming, resulting in conflicts with Lin Yu.
Wei Chen certainly intended to find a way to nd this rift.
Therefore, he personally called Lin Yu, asking, "Mr. Yu, this is Wei Chen."
Lin Yu gave a wry smile, "Please don’t call that; my brother-in-law hates when people use ’young master’ titles. My sister will give an earful later."
Wei Chen laughed, "Then I’ll just call you Little Yu. What do you think of your jurisdiction’s list?"
He was enquiring if Lin Yu had his own people in mind.
Having learned the ropes of this circle over the year, Lin Yu didn’t hesitate to reply, "Mr. Wei, I do indeed have a couple of people to recomnd."
