<p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:22px;"> 第七十章 </b></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:22px;">? Chapter Seventy</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? 曾毅上午剛到衛(wèi)生廳，郭鵬輝就讓秘書把他請(qǐng)了過去。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Zeng Yi had just arrived at the Health Department that morning when Guo Penghui had his secretary invite him over.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? “小曾，坐，快坐。”郭鵬輝一臉微笑，指了指辦公桌前的沙發(fā)，“我剛泡好了茶，先坐下喝一杯，提提神。”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? “Xiao Zeng, sit down, please sit down.” Guo Penghui smiled and gestured to the sofa in front of his desk. “I just made some tea. Sit down and have a cup to refresh yourself.”</b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 屋子里還坐了一個(gè)人，是衛(wèi)生廳人事處的處長(zhǎng)楊雙河，曾毅跟楊雙河打了招呼，就大大方方地找地方坐下，他最近常來常往，跟衛(wèi)生廳的各個(gè)口的負(fù)責(zé)人都很熟稔了，大家要是有個(gè)什么頭疼腦熱的，也都往他的辦公室跑。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? There was another person sitting in the room, Yang Shuanghe, the director of the Personnel Department of the Health Department. Zeng Yi greeted Yang Shuanghe and then casually found a place to sit. He had been a frequent visitor lately and was quite familiar with the heads of various departments within the Health Department. Whenever anyone had a headache or fever, they would go to his office.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> “郭局，找我有什么工作布置？”曾毅笑著。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? "Director Guo, what work do you need me for?" Zeng Yi asked with a smile.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? “是好事，大好事！”郭鵬輝故作神秘，卻不急于揭開謎底，而是端起茶杯，笑吟吟地道：“你先猜上一猜?！?lt;/u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? "It's good news, very good news!" Guo Penghui feigned mystery, but wasn't in a hurry to reveal the answer. Instead, he picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "Take a guess first."</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? 楊雙河今年五十歲出頭，是衛(wèi)生廳出了名的老機(jī)關(guān)了，在這里整整干了有三十年，他捧著自己的大肚子坐在沙發(fā)里，跟著笑了兩聲，道：“我可以作證，確實(shí)是好事。”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Yang Shuanghe, in his early fifties, was a well-known veteran of the Health Department, having worked there for thirty years. He sat on the sofa, patting his large belly, and chuckled twice, saying, "I can testify, it really is good news."</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 曾毅有點(diǎn)納悶，自己在衛(wèi)生廳只擔(dān)任了一個(gè)虛職，無官無權(quán)的，能有什么好事，還需要郭鵬輝特地把自己叫過來通知，他笑道：“郭局，楊處，您二位就別跟我打啞謎了，這我哪能猜得到。”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Zeng Yi was a little puzzled. He only held a nominal position in the Health Department, with no real power or authority. What good thing could he possibly want that Guo Penghui would specifically call him over to inform him of? He chuckled, "Director Guo, Director Yang, please don't play games with me. How could I possibly guess?"</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? 郭鵬輝放下茶杯，道：“小曾，你要請(qǐng)客了??！”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Guo Penghui put down his teacup and said, "Little Zeng, you're treating us now!"</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 曾毅笑道：“有好事當(dāng)然是要請(qǐng)客的，關(guān)鍵是我現(xiàn)在還不知道是什么好事呢。”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Zeng Yi laughed, "Of course I'll treat everyone to something good, but the key is I don't even know what good thing it is yet."</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? 郭鵬輝從抽屜里拿出一份公文，面帶著喜氣，拿在手里又看了一遍，道：“經(jīng)局黨委研究決定，任命你為主任科員，職務(wù)另行確定。這是公文，你看一下吧！”</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Guo Penghui took out an official document from his drawer, his face beaming. He looked at it again and said, "After deliberation by the Party Committee of the Bureau, you are hereby appointed as a Chief Clerk, with your specific position to be determined later. Here's the document, take a look!"</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 曾毅非常意外，怎么突然給自己搞出了一個(gè)級(jí)別呢，主任科員，那可是實(shí)打?qū)嵉恼萍?jí)干部啊。他起身過去，拿起公文一看，這才相信是真的，只不過還是有些想不通，自己只是專家組的專家，嚴(yán)格來講，并不算是衛(wèi)生廳的干部，雖然接受保健局的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，但不受其管轄，這保健局的任命書，怎么會(huì)下到自己頭上呢。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Zeng Yi was very surprised. How could he suddenly be given a new rank? Chief Clerk—that was a real section-level cadre! He got up, picked up the official document, and only then did he believe it was true. However, he still couldn't understand it. He was just an expert on the expert group, and strictly speaking, he wasn't a cadre of the Health Department. Although he was under the leadership of the Health Bureau, he wasn't under its jurisdiction. How could the Health Bureau's appointment letter be given to him?</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> “小曾啊，今天的客，你是非請(qǐng)不可了。”楊雙河呵呵笑著，“在咱們南江省衛(wèi)生廳，向你這樣年輕的正科級(jí)干部，可是獨(dú)一無二啊?！?lt;/u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? "Young Zeng, you absolutely must treat our guest today," Yang Shuanghe chuckled. "In the Health Department of Nanjiang Province, a young section-level cadre like you is truly one of a kind."</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? 楊雙河面色和藹可親，心里卻有些不是滋味，想當(dāng)年，自己大學(xué)畢業(yè)被分配到衛(wèi)生廳，從一個(gè)辦事員干到副科，就花了五年的時(shí)間，從副科升到正科，又是五年的時(shí)間，一直熬到快退休了，才憑著資歷，混到了正處級(jí)。而眼前這個(gè)年輕人，直接就跨過了副科這道坎，成為了正科級(jí)的主任科員，這簡(jiǎn)直是一步登天啊。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Yang Shuanghe's expression was amiable, but inwardly he felt a pang of bitterness. Back in his day, after graduating from university, he was assigned to the Health Department. It took him five years to rise from clerk to deputy section chief, and another five years to rise to section chief. He finally reached the division chief level, almost at retirement, based solely on seniority. This young man before him, however, had skipped the deputy section chief hurdle and become a section-level chief clerk—it was like a meteoric rise.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 貨比貨得丟，人比人得死啊，副科級(jí)這道門坎，不知道把多少人封死在了升遷的起跑線上。就楊雙河自己所知道的，在這衛(wèi)生廳里，就有很多干了一輩子的人，到最后退休也沒混上副科級(jí)，只是按照退休待遇提一級(jí)的原則，在退休后才勉強(qiáng)享受到了副主任科員的待遇。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Comparing goods is disheartening, comparing people is agonizing. The threshold of deputy section chief has effectively shut out countless people from the starting line of promotion. As far as Yang Shuanghe knows, many people in the Health Department have worked their entire lives without ever reaching deputy section chief level, only managing to receive the (treatment/benefits) of a deputy section chief after retirement, based on the principle of a one-level increase in retirement benefits.</b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? 郭鵬輝也是有些感慨，前段時(shí)間，自己就看出馮玉琴要重用曾毅，可也沒想到會(huì)如此重用，從一個(gè)只領(lǐng)虛職，連公務(wù)員都算不上的專家，一下就提拔為了主任科員。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Guo Penghui was also somewhat moved. He had sensed that Feng Yuqin intended to promote Zeng Yi recently, but he hadn't expected it to be this significant—from an expert holding only a nominal position, not even qualifying as a civil servant, to being promoted to section chief in one fell swoop.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 他這種老機(jī)關(guān)，哪能不明白其中的意思，這主任科員雖然是個(gè)非領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職務(wù)，但意義卻非比尋常。在基層，副科級(jí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)在卸任領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職務(wù)的時(shí)候，一般會(huì)提升為主任科員，然后等待退休；而在省上機(jī)關(guān)，這個(gè)主任科員則是擔(dān)任更高級(jí)職務(wù)之前的一個(gè)臺(tái)階，在此基礎(chǔ)上，可以很順利地提升為正科級(jí)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職務(wù)，甚至是副處級(jí)職務(wù)。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? As a seasoned official, he was well aware of the implications. Although the position of chief clerk was a non-leadership post, its significance was extraordinary. At the grassroots level, deputy section chiefs would typically be promoted to chief clerk upon stepping down from their leadership positions and then await retirement. However, in provincial-level government agencies, the chief clerk position served as a stepping stone to a higher-level post, upon which one could smoothly be promoted to a section chief-level leadership position, or even a deputy division chief-level position.</b></p> <p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u> 曾毅如此年輕，就被提拔為了主任科員，可以想象，今后的升遷之路，比起常人，肯定是要更快更猛了。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? Zeng Yi is so young, yet he's already been promoted to chief clerk. One can imagine that his future promotions will be much faster and more rapid than those of ordinary people. </b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;"><u>? 這真是上面有人好做官??！郭鵬輝感慨的同時(shí)，也慶幸自己燒對(duì)了冷灶，自己和曾毅認(rèn)識(shí)，前后才不過一個(gè)月的時(shí)間，這就成了正科級(jí)，說不定自己再一轉(zhuǎn)眼，對(duì)方的級(jí)別就超過了自己。</u></b></p><p class="ql-block">?</p><p class="ql-block"><b style="font-size:20px;">? "It's true what they say, having connections makes it easier to get ahead!" Guo Penghui thought with a sigh, but also with relief that he'd chosen the right person. He'd only known Zeng Yi for a month, and he'd already reached the level of section chief. Who knows, maybe in the blink of an eye, Zeng Yi would surpass him in rank.</b></p>
