Chapter 11: The Road to Promotion

1.

After sending off the spring, Zhao Zhiqiang turned around and went to the office of the Education Commission.

Zhao Zhiqiang happily sat on the high-backed black leather boss chair left by Liu Wenhua, the former director of the Education Commission, looking satisfied and full of ambition.

In August 1991, Zhao Zhiqiang was transferred from the teaching director of Chengguan Town Middle School to the principal of Hushan Town Middle School.

Chengguan Town is located on the south side of the moat in Huxian County, which belongs to the urban-rural junction and is also half of the city, while Hushan Town is located in a remote mountain, and people with ability and background are generally reluctant to work here. But Zhao Zhiqiang still came to Hushan Town, and he didn't mind the good or bad working environment here. No, for Zhao Zhiqiang, this work change solves Zhao Zhiqiang's organizational relationship, because since he received the letter of appointment, Zhao Zhiqiang has been a unit-level cadre in the county education system, and he has been filed in the county education bureau, the county personnel bureau, and the organization department. In other words, in layman's terms, that is, Zhao Zhiqiang has embarked on a career since then, in the words of the common people, that is, he is an official, he can be in charge of one party, and he can decide the fate and future of others.

Every time he thinks of these, Zhao Zhiqiang will have an inexplicable excitement and excitement in his heart.

2.

Zhao Zhiqiang's promotion should be thanked most to his wife Tan Yan.

Tan Yan, 25 years old this year, is a nurse at Huxian People's Hospital and a student of Zhao Zhiqiang, with a nine-year age difference between the two.

Tan Yan's home is in Chengguan Town, Huxian County, and she was in the third year of junior high school in Chengguan Town Middle School in 1984.

Zhao Zhiqiang graduated from university in 1984 and went to Chengguan Town Middle School in Huxian County to teach, teaching Tan Yan's third-grade mathematics, and concurrently serving as Tan Yan's homeroom teacher.

At that time, Tan Yan was a complete beauty embryo, with a slender and slender figure, a pretty and delicate face, and good academic performance, which attracted Zhao Zhiqiang's attention on the first day.

After some careful observation and visits to Tan Yan, what attracted Zhao Zhiqiang's attention more was Tan Yan's family relationship.

Tan Yan's father is a well-known private enterprise owner in Chengguan Town, with a company and several stores. Tan Yan's uncle is the director of the Huxian County Transportation Bureau and has great power. Tan Yan's uncle is the secretary of the executive deputy county magistrate, and he is also a hot figure in Hu County.

Tan Yan's prominent social relationships and social background made Zhao Zhiqiang, who was born in a poor family and had just stepped out of school, feel a full temptation, and Zhao Zhiqiang's young heart was difficult to resist the multiple temptations from Tan Yan.

So, Zhao Zhiqiang found various excuses to approach Tan Yan, let Tan Yan be his math class representative and class leader, and often let Tan Yan go to the office or dormitory to make up classes or help correct homework, etc.

Sixteen-year-old Tan Yan is in an ignorant adolescence, naïve, rebellious, loving, and expectant.

Zhao Zhiqiang's meticulous care and teasing made Tan Yanfang's heart sprout.

Finally, when Tan Yan was about to graduate from junior high school, one night during self-study time, in Zhao Zhiqiang's single dormitory, Tan Yan became Zhao Zhiqiang's woman.

In a short period of time, Tan Yan's academic performance plummeted, and she should have been admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, but when she graduated from junior high school, she was only admitted to the county health training school.

Three years later, Tan Yan graduated from the health school and was assigned to the county people's hospital as a nurse.

During Tan Yan's schooling, Zhao Zhiqiang had been waiting patiently for her. However, Zhao Zhiqiang and Tan Yan's love affair was carried out secretly underground, hiding from Tan Yan's parents and family.

In the autumn of 1988, after Tan Yan officially joined the work, Zhao Zhiqiang also officially launched his pursuit of Tan Yan.

In the spring of 1989, Zhao Zhiqiang finally won the approval of the Tan family and held a wedding with the twenty-one-year-old Tan Yan.

At the end of 1989, Zhao Zhiqiang's daughter was born.

As a result, Zhao Zhiqiang can be regarded as officially entering the social circle of the Tan family.

In August 1989, Zhao Zhiqiang was promoted from an ordinary teacher to the director of Chengguan Town Middle School.

In August 1991, Zhao Zhiqiang was transferred from the teaching director of Chengguan Town Middle School to the principal of Hushan Town Middle School.

In August 1993, Zhao Zhiqiang was promoted to the director of the Hushan Town Education Committee and concurrently served as the principal of Hushan Town Middle School.

Zhao Zhiqiang's several promotions have the shadow of the Tan family behind him.

A few years of immersion in officialdom have also made Zhao Zhiqiang well versed in the way of being an official.

Zhao Zhiqiang knows that as long as the current officialdom has a good relationship with the leaders up and down and does not make big mistakes, he will be promoted naturally when the time comes.

Of course, you have to have the money to take care of everything. Or, behind you there is a big man standing big enough to hold you up.

If you are promoted, you will naturally get rich, which is a truth that has been subverted for thousands of years. Therefore, the first step into officialdom is very important.

When he came to Hushan Middle School, Zhao Zhiqiang could be regarded as truly stepping into the officialdom, that is, he had the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.

Promotion and wealth are complementary to each other, only with money can you have the ability to run for office, and with official positions, you will naturally have money. In this way, a virtuous circle will be formed when you are promoted to become rich, you will be rich and give gifts, and you will be promoted to become rich.

Now, Zhao Zhiqiang's relationship circle in officialdom has slowly formed, that is, he does not rely on the Tan family, Zhao Zhiqiang believes that he can slowly achieve the set goal by relying on his own ability.

In August 1991, Zhao Zhiqiang took over as the principal of Hushan Middle School.

At the beginning, Zhao Zhiqiang was still ambitious, wanted to make a big career, and after making some achievements, he quickly transferred back to the county seat by relying on the relationship of the Tan family.

Because Zhao Zhiqiang's wife and children were still in the county seat and did not follow them to Hushan Town, Zhao Zhiqiang did not want to squat in this poor ravine for the rest of his life.

However, slowly Zhao Zhiqiang found that Liu Wenhua's power had been deeply rooted in the middle school, and most of the middle-level leaders under his hands were promoted by Liu Wenhua. There is a lot of work in the school, and Zhao Zhiqiang is tied up to do it, especially the personnel adjustment and arrangement, without the consent of Liu Wenhua and the seal of the Education Commission, Zhao Zhiqiang cannot implement it at all. Even if he has great ability, he can't show it in Hushan Town, which makes Zhao Zhiqiang very depressed.

In the 1992 high school entrance examination, Hushan Middle School's admission results were almost at the bottom of similar schools at all levels in Huxian County, and Zhao Zhiqiang also had no shame to apply to the relevant leaders of the Education Bureau to call back the county.

So, in July 1992, Tan Yan took her children to Hushan Town and served as the office director of the town health center.

Zhao Zhiqiang was like a lion about to hunt prey, quietly slumping down in Hushan Middle School. Secretly observe and investigate every middle-level cadre and every teacher in the school. At the same time, he secretly cultivated and supported his henchmen and forces, always ready, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack Liu Wenhua's camp.

After learning the gossip that Liu Wenhua was going to be transferred to the principal of Huangshan Town Middle School, Zhao Zhiqiang started his activities and used all his connections, including the Tan family.

Finally, Zhao Zhiqiang took the director of the Hushan Town Education Committee and the principal of the middle school into his pocket.

This is the first case in the history of Huxian education that the director of the education committee is also the principal of a middle school, which makes Zhao Zhiqiang feel very proud.

Now, what Zhao Zhiqiang needs most is time, he needs to calm down and slowly clean up the mess in the education system of Hushan Town.
