Chapter 88 Promotion to Deputy Director

September 1959, 9, a brand new day.

Liu Zhiye was like an eagle in the morning light, and he began his walking journey early in the morning.

What we return with is not only the fresh air and warmth of the morning light, but also the inner anticipation and excitement.

He returned to the dressing table he had carefully purchased for Gan Ning and spent half an hour carefully dressing himself up.

He has short black hair that is neat and looks particularly energetic. His big eyes are bright and sparkling with wisdom.

Wearing a neatly ironed security uniform with the buttons of his shirt buttoned meticulously, he showed a serious attitude, which made him look energetic and confident.

He will meet his colleagues in the factory with a brand new spirit. This special day is of great significance to him. The appointment letter from the factory committee has been issued, and he will be promoted to deputy director of the security department.

In his new position, he will face more challenges and opportunities, and he will greet this new beginning with a positive attitude and firm determination.

Overall, this promotion was an important turning point for him and a milestone in his life.

……

Liu Zhiye, riding his iconic 28-inch bicycle, shuttled through the south gate of the factory in a very charming manner.

He had not been back to the Red Star Factory for three months. This time he came to personally check the security personnel's duty and see if they had relaxed their discipline during this period.

The person on duty today was Zhao Xu, the head of the security team. He had excellent eyesight and saw Liu Zhiye from a distance. He suddenly felt nervous because this guy was a brave and reckless man. Although he was brave and fearless, he was very rough in his work.

When he leads the team to perform tasks, there are always some flaws in the details and it is slow and sloppy.

Zhao Xu silently watched Liu Zhiye, feeling deeply moved. He knew that although this reckless man sometimes made mistakes, his courage and determination were unquestionable.

He hopes that he can give him more support and guidance to help him grow better.

Liu Zhiye walked leisurely to the security guard on duty.

When the security guard saw him, his face immediately showed excitement. It had been a long time since they had seen their section chief, and the colleagues in the security department all missed him.

He respectfully performed a standard gun salute to Liu Zhiye and waited expectantly for the section chief's inspection.

Liu Zhiye returned him a strong military salute, nodded with a smile, then stretched out his hand to indicate that he wanted to take the gun from his hand so that he could check it carefully.

The guard was a little late, but still handed the gun to Liu Zhiye. After taking the gun, he carefully checked the condition of the gun, confirmed that there was no problem, and returned it to the guard. The whole process was smooth and professional.

The guard looked at him gratefully and saluted him again. Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded, then continued his journey.

He carefully checked the duty room, the health duty log, and the discipline of the security personnel, and had a thorough understanding of each one.

His rigorous attitude and meticulous inspections not only brought a touch of warmth and strength to the Security Department, but also made his colleagues respect him even more.

His behavior not only demonstrated his professionalism and rigorous spirit, but also made everyone feel his love and dedication to his work.

His presence has undoubtedly become a beautiful landscape in the security department, injecting new vitality and motivation into the entire team.

Zhao Xu smiled naively and said, "Deputy Director Liu, congratulations! You are back after completing your studies."

Liu Zhiye clenched his right fist and punched Zhao Xu's chest vigorously. He laughed heartily and said, "Stop talking nonsense and call me Section Chief! The notice hasn't come down yet. It's not appropriate to call me that."

Zhao Xu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He touched his hair and muttered, "Isn't this obvious? It's unnecessary."

Liu Zhiye widened his eyes and said in a serious tone: "What did you say just now? Speak louder so I can hear it."

The idiot became even more uneasy after hearing that, and waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't say anything! You must have heard it wrong." Looking at his appearance, he was probably wondering in his heart, not knowing where he said wrong.

Seeing him like this, Liu Zhiye couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere between the two became relaxed.

He knew that Zhao Xu was a straightforward person with no ill intentions, so he did not pursue the matter any further. After all, the public notice had not been issued yet, so he would wait until the result came out. After a while, Geng Pin, the leader of Team 5 who took over, walked into the duty room with a steady pace. The moment he opened the door, he did not see Liu Zhiye standing by the door.

Geng Pin's noisy voice echoed in the duty room: "Lao Zhao? Lao Zhao! How about coming to my place for a drink after get off work tonight?"

"We have to drink every day! There has been nothing going on recently. We are so bored without the section chief here."

He didn't see that Zhao Xu was winking at him frantically.

"Okay! Why don't you call me to drink with you? How about I drink with you?" Liu Zhiye said with a deliberately stern face.

Hearing the section chief's familiar voice, Geng Pin swallowed the words in his mouth.

Hearing the familiar voice of the section chief, Geng Pin felt as if he was hit by something, and the words in his mouth instantly froze in his throat.

He smiled awkwardly and swallowed the words in his mouth as if he had swallowed a stone.

He suddenly realized his gaffe and quickly changed the topic, "Chief! You're back! What a great thing! Isn't that right, Old Zhao?" He winked at Zhao Xu frantically, hoping that he could help share the firepower.

Liu Zhiye pretended to be serious and said, "We are a disciplined force. Have we done our job well? Have we achieved results? Do you just want to drink wine every day?"

"Don't start showing off your achievements..."

His eyes were as sharp as swords, and he sternly scanned the people present and scolded them, making several of them tremble with fear and dare not breathe.

Then, he turned around and was about to walk out of the duty room.

Without even turning his head, he said, "Notify everyone that the security department will have an extra meal at noon today. I'll treat you all to a good meal." His words were full of generosity and heroism.

"I'll treat you!" The news spread quickly in the duty room like thunder, and everyone responded excitedly: "Wow! We're finally going to have a good meal!" Everyone's eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement, as if it was a long-awaited rain.

In recent months, the living standard of everyone has been declining like water. Every day, they have to eat simple food and be lucky to be full. Occasionally, they can taste a bite of meat, which is like a life-saving straw in famine and is particularly precious.

He strode out of the duty room with generosity and magnanimity, leaving behind a sound of cheers and excitement.

His generosity not only made everyone feel warm as if they were bathed in spring breeze, but also made them full of respect for this leader. His actions were like a ray of sunshine, illuminating everyone's hearts.

Liu Zhiye walked into his own office with a leisurely pace.

He hadn't seen this office for three months, but everything was still the same. It was as if he came here every day, and it was as clean as new. It must have been cleaned carefully by his colleagues.

After a short rest, Liu Zhiye excitedly came to Director Jiang's office.

"Dengdengdeng..."

He walked in quickly and greeted with a smile: "Director! Good morning! I'm back!"

When Director Jiang saw him coming back, he greeted him warmly, "Zhiye! You're finally back! I was really anxious waiting for you."

"Haha! Come on, sit down and talk slowly." Director Jiang said with a smile.

After Liu Zhiye sat down, Director Jiang couldn't wait to ask about his academic situation. While Liu Zhiye answered, he talked about his experiences and gains during this period. Director Jiang listened with great interest and nodded in agreement from time to time.

When talking about his academic performance, Liu Zhiye feels very proud because he has made considerable progress and gained a lot of valuable experience and knowledge in his studies.

He thanked Director Jiang for his continued care and support, and said that he would continue to work hard to achieve better results.

After chatting for a while, Director Jiang carefully took out a letter of appointment from the drawer and handed it to Liu Zhiye, who looked focused.

"Comrade Zhiye, congratulations! This is the appointment letter for promotion to deputy director. It's really cause for celebration!" Director Jiang said as he extended his hand and shook hands with Liu Zhiye to express his warm congratulations.
