The Tianjiang Provincial Party School is located at the foot of Lushan Mountain, where Zhongling is beautiful and full of humanities in Hexi, and like other provincial party schools, it was founded in the early fifties of the last century. At the beginning of this century, the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial School of Administration were merged, and the two schools and institutes were integrated to implement the management system of "two brands and one set of personnel". The school covers an area of 460 acres, with a construction area of more than 200,000 square meters, which can accommodate nearly 3,000 students at the same time, and is a provincial-level garden-style unit.

According to the arrangement of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Ye Ming and his group of 16 colleges who participated in the Provincial Party Committee's Office at the deputy department level and the Zhengke Practical Recruitment Examination were inserted into this year's training course for young and middle-aged cadres in the form of transfers. This year's training class for middle-aged and young cadres is a 10-month training course for cadres at the department level, with a total of 32 trainees, which started on 1 June this year and has been studying for two months. Ye Ming and the others joined this study class, studied with them for eight months, and completed in April next year. In this way, the number of students in the entire class reached 48.

The person who received Ye Ming and their registration was Xiao Jin, the head teacher of the youth cadre class, as well as Zhang Lingzhi, the head of the youth cadre class, and Zha Jiliang, a member of the life committee.

The head teacher, Xiao Jin, is about forty-three or fourteen years old, the director of the Education Department of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, tall and burly, with a cold and serious face, and a dignified appearance of a manager. When Ye Ming went to report for duty, he just sat behind a desk, looked at Ye Ming quietly, and saw that he was so young and handsome, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

And Zhang Lingzhi, the squad leader sitting on Xiao Jin's left, has a slender figure, fair complexion, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking very elegant and very personable; Zha Jiliang, the life committee member sitting on the right, was an amiable Humpty Dumpty, and when Ye Ming handed over the admission notice, he took it with a smile and asked Ye Ming very politely.

When Ye Ming greeted the homeroom teacher, Zhang Lingzhi and Zha Jiliang, he carefully observed Zhang Lingzhi, and saw that although he was very elegant and gentle, he seemed to be more reserved, more restrained and reserved, combined with his identity as a squad leader, Ye Ming estimated that he was likely to be a department-level cadre, and he might be the leader of the party and government in a certain place or department.

As for this class teacher, Director Xiao Jin, Ye Ming already knew him: Under normal circumstances, the head teacher of the youth cadre class of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee is the director or deputy director of the Education Department of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. However, this class teacher does not care about the specific affairs of the class, nor does he live in the party school, but only plays a supervisory and coordinating role. The class committee is responsible for the specific management of class affairs.

Before Ye Ming came to the school to report, considering the important role played by the head teacher in his future assessment and scoring, he deliberately got to know Xiao Jin through some channels, knowing that he had been in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for many years, and he had not been very ambitious, and he had been in the position of director of the Education Department for more than four years, and he had not moved. And the main reason is that the former organization minister Xie Hongda is very uninterested in him, feeling that he has a straight face all day long, is silent, and does not like to report to himself.

What's more: This Xiao Jin is Xie Hongda's previous organization minister, who took a fancy to his steady and solid personality and upright personality, and felt that he was a manufacturable material, and he was promoted unusually, not Xie Hongda's descendants and cronies. Therefore, he has not been taken seriously in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and he has no backers at the top, so it is difficult to see any future and future.

Fortunately, on the 20th of last month, Xie Hongda was suddenly taken away by the inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and a few days later it was announced that he would be subject to shuanggui measures. It was heard that his main disciplinary problem was "using the influence of his position to connive at his relatives to buy shares in the enterprise for profit." Although this issue may not be transferred to the judicial organs, it will not be transferred to the judicial organs. However, the handling can be light or severe: minor cases will be given warnings or demerits or major demerits, and serious cases may be removed from their posts or expelled from the party.

When Xiao Jin heard the news, the resentment that had been holding back in his heart for the past few years calmed down a little......

After learning about these situations, Ye Ming still admired Xiao Jin in his heart. Therefore, when he reported for duty, he really wanted to talk to Xiao Jin and let him leave a good impression on him. However, when he greeted him warmly, he just nodded to himself very coldly, and then looked at himself a few more times, and then didn't give him a chance to speak again, and waved his hand to let him go to the dormitory to put his luggage first, which made Ye Ming not embarrassed.

Fortunately, the life committee member Zha Jiliang who took him to the dormitory was very enthusiastic and very talkative. When he walked from the registration office to the dormitory, he first introduced himself to Ye Ming, saying that he was the deputy director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, and he was 38 years old; And Zhang Lingzhi, the squad leader who just sat with the head teacher Xiao, is now the county magistrate of Zijiang County, and he is also the most powerful leader among the eight department-level cadres in this class.

Ye Ming heard Zha Jiliang introduce himself as a member of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, and his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the current director of the Department of Land and Resources, Wang Xiuguang, and couldn't help but want to tell Zha Jiliang that he and Wang Xiuguang were good friends. But after thinking about it: if he talks to Zha Jiliang about Wang Xiuguang now, first, he may not necessarily believe that he is good friends with him, and he is also afraid that he will think that he is frivolous and pulling tiger skin to make a big banner, which will not be good. So, when the words came to his lips, he took them back.

Next, Zha Jiliang told Ye Ming again: Because of the competitive relationship between each other, after the study of the class committee, the 8 new students they inserted into the study were not convenient to live together, and should be arranged in another student dormitory. The dormitories of the youth cadre class are all two-bedroom standards, with two bedrooms and one living room, with a bathroom. Two cadres at the department level live in one set, and four cadres at the deputy department level live in one set. Ye Ming and the others had to go into the dormitories of those deputy department-level cadres who were not full.

Ye Ming wanted to know the situation of the other three students who lived in the same room with him, so he asked Cha Jiliang about it.

Cha Jiliang is a very competent life committee member and has a clear understanding of the situation in each dormitory. Hearing Ye Ming ask about the situation of his dormitory, he patiently introduced: "The three people who live with you, one is the deputy head of Daxing District in the provincial capital city and the director of Xinghai Development Zone, surnamed Yan, called Yan Changgeng; The other is the deputy director of the Urban Youth Work Department of the Provincial Youth League Committee, named Chen Yufei, and the other is the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Provincial Public Security Department, named Liu Ziliang. All three of them are cadres at the level of deputy director. Among them, Deputy District Chief Yan Changgeng is also the deputy head of our youth cadre class. ”
