Shao Tianhu only knew that the office had no outstanding achievements in immigration affairs, but he never thought that there were so many twists and turns in it.
It is obviously difficult to change the status quo in the short term by just relying on yourself or the people in the office. After all, the rules are set by the above, and the space left for them to play is extremely limited. If he wants to make some achievements, I'm afraid he has to find a way to start somewhere else.
"Sir, there shouldn't be much going on in the afternoon. Why don't you go to Fort Victory and go through the onboarding procedures? Then you can go to the Civil Affairs Office to learn about the overseas regions' recruitment of immigrants in the country."
Seeing that he was silent, Lao Wang took the initiative to give him suggestions.
Although Shao Tianhu took office, he only showed the appointment letter from the Xingdao authorities to a few people in the office. Although his position is not high, he can still be regarded as a "court official". After taking office, he has not gone through the formal entry procedures.
It just so happened that he was a little bothered by the trivial matters of receiving people in the office, so he could take this opportunity to be lazy.
He readily agreed and asked Lao Wang about the procedures.
After taking a break for lunch, Shao Tianhu took his identity document and letter of appointment and went to Victory Fort alone.
Although I had been studying at the Military Academy in Sanya for a period of time before and had been to Victory Square several times, I had only admired the Victory Fort as a symbol of Haihan national power from outside, and had not had the opportunity to actually enter it.
Shao Tianhu announced his identity at the guard post outside the gate of Victory Fort, but was refused entry. The reason was simple. It was not yet working hours. Unless it was an emergency, he would have to wait until the lunch break was over before he could enter.
"Look at the clock tower time. Come back at one o'clock and you can enter."
His identity played a role to some extent, and the sentry patiently pointed out the specific time to him.
Shao Tianhu turned his head and looked at the clock tower beside the square. The clock above showed that it would be a while before one o'clock.
This eight-foot-high bell tower was built ten years ago in the name of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of Haihan. In addition to using the huge clock on the top of the bell tower to showcase Haihan's superior industrial capabilities, it is also used to unify the entire Sanya region. The time allocation allows various local official agencies to operate simultaneously.
The Executive Committee has officially implemented the 24-hour timekeeping system to the public, which is no longer just a special timekeeping method previously used in navigation, military and other fields.
Clocks as timepieces have also begun to gradually enter ordinary people's homes. Although it is still very expensive, it is no longer as affordable as it once was.
Nowadays, in the homes of many wealthy families in the local area, it is indispensable to have an exquisite Sanya brand table clock or floor clock to show the family's financial strength.
However, Shao Tianhu didn't have any special feelings about this. As the standard equipment of senior commanders, he used a lighter pocket watch during his service to ensure the accurate execution time of various combat missions.
In his opinion, the technical content of that thing is much higher than this bulky clock. It's just that pocket watches are still a rarity among Xingdao's troops. They can only be issued to officers above the battalion level for the time being, and they have to be taken back when they are discharged. So now he can only rely on the time displayed on the clock tower to determine the time. Shao Tianhu saw that it was still early, so he walked around Victory Square. When he returned to the gate of Victory Fort, there was already a queue of more than 20 people, all waiting to enter Victory Fort to handle various official matters in the afternoon. officials.
Seeing this, Shao Tianhu secretly regretted that he had gone too far just now and should have queued up here earlier. Even if there was still some time, he stopped shopping and stayed at the back of the queue.
By the time the big bell on the bell tower rang one o'clock, there were already more than 20 people lined up behind Shao Tianhu. He was secretly glad that he came early, otherwise he would have had to wait for a long time to register at the door.
Once the time is up, the gate guards will start to register and let people in one by one.
However, he found that in addition to the queue, there were people on the other side of the gate who could enter and exit normally without checking the registration. After looking at it for a while, I realized that these people had a hangtag hanging around their necks. All they had to do was show the hangtag. I guess they were all staff members of Fort Victory.
The speed of checking the registration was faster than Shao Tianhu expected, and it didn't take long for it to be his turn. There was no body search as he expected. They just verified their identity and purpose, made a written registration and let people in.
Victory Fort looks like a heavily guarded armed fortress from the outside, but there is not such a tense atmosphere inside. There are flowers and gardens everywhere as far as the eye can see, and small white buildings are hidden among the grass and trees. Connected by stone paths.
There are street signs at every intersection to indicate the agency ahead. However, there are signs at many intersections saying "No entry for non-travelers", "Confidential forbidden area", and "No entry unless required". Obviously, these places do not accept outsiders.
The place where Shao Tianhu wanted to go was not far from the main entrance. The sign hanging outside the small building was very simple, "General Office". As for what aspects this "comprehensive" included, Shao Tianhu didn't know. He just followed the instructions of his colleagues in the office and came here to complete the registration procedures for performance of duties.
However, more than half of the people who lined up at the door to register just now are here. Obviously, the area under the jurisdiction of this small yamen is not small.
When it was Shao Tianhu's turn, the clerk asked for his ID and appointment letter, and then started to fill in the form without asking any questions. After filling it out, he pushed the form in front of Shao Tianhu and asked him to sign at the bottom.
Shao Tianhu took it and looked at it. It was a simple registration of personal information, as well as the agency, job title and date of appointment. Dangjie signed his name with a pen, then took out an envelope and handed it over along with the form.
Unexpectedly, the other party just pushed the envelope back, just looked at the form, and nodded: "Mr. Shao, we don't do this here. Your procedures are now complete. Congratulations on taking office!"
Shao Tianhu thought to himself that it was very convenient to do things here, so he immediately thanked the other party, got up and left.
This process was far simpler than he imagined. Once the registration was completed, all the entry procedures were completed, and he was officially appointed.
Remembering Lao Wang's suggestion that he go to the Civil Affairs Office, he asked others and found out that it turned out that the Civil Affairs Office had moved out of Victory Fort a long time ago, but the location was not far from here, right next to Victory Square.
In fact, due to the increasing number of daily affairs and the substantial increase in department personnel, most management agencies have gradually moved out of Victory Fort and built special office buildings. The Civil Affairs Office is just one of them.
