When Qin Jian was working under Yang Jin, he heard some rumors about studying in Haihan. It is said that seven out of ten officials appointed by Haihan, especially young officials, have studied in some high-end academies in Haihan.
His boss, Yang Jin, used his family connections to study abroad for two years at the Naval Academy in Zhoushan in his early years, and then was assigned to the army as a small logistics officer.
After Qin Jian learned this information, of course he also thought about sending his own children to study abroad in Haihan, but in the end he only stayed at the idea stage and did not put it into practice.
This is not because Qin Jian is reluctant to spend money. Although it is quite expensive to study abroad from Nanjing to Haihan, with his current income level, it is certainly not a problem to bear this expense.
If spending money can buy a good future for future generations, then he doesn't even mind taking out his own coffin.
The main reason why Qin Jian backed down was that he heard that those high-end academies that specialized in training officials could not be entered by paying, and the admissions threshold for newly occupied areas like Nanjing was extremely high, and the students admitted had to be celebrities. After becoming a powerful person, the most important thing is to be recommended by a big shot.
Qin Jian was born in a dock, and his life experience has nothing to do with being a powerful person. As for the important people he has met, he has met a few in the past two months, but he does not have the kind of friendship that can make others write letters of recommendation.
For Qin Jian, sending his children to study abroad in Haihan and then becoming an official seems to be a bright road, but it is currently out of his reach. He can only temporarily bury his unrealistic ideas. heart.
However, he really didn't expect that a good thing like pie in the sky would be his turn. A big shot like Tao Hongfang would take the initiative to arrange for his son to study abroad.
Qin Jian was not a fool, and of course he would not naively think that Tao Hongfang had nothing to do. The other party offered to sell him such a huge favor, of course, in exchange for his wholehearted loyalty.
It's just that he doesn't quite understand what a lowly man like himself, who has little influence, can do for Tao Hongfang. But he has made up his mind that no matter what kind of request the other party makes next, he will agree to it first. After all, the opportunity is rare, and if he misses this village, he will not have this store.
The request made by Tao Hongfang was indeed completely unexpected: "Qin Jian, I see that you are quite talented in construction site management and material transportation. The current errand is overqualified, are you willing to take care of it?" Committee work?”
"Ah?" Qin Jian was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was being promoted again.
In the days since he was transferred from Yanziji Wharf to work in the city, he has often passed by the administrative committee's Yamen. However, with his status, he is only qualified to step into this Yamen if he is summoned like today. door.
I didn’t expect that I had just entered the Administrative Committee Yamen for the first time and that I would be transformed into a member of this place?
Qin Jian swallowed, suppressed her excitement, and confirmed to Tao Hongfang that she heard correctly: "Sir, what do you mean, you want to transfer the villain from the engineering headquarters to the management committee to work?"
Tao Hongfang nodded and said, "What do you think?"
Qin Jian hurriedly bowed and responded: "The villain is naturally happy to serve under the master. But with his abilities, can he really work in the Management Committee Yamen? If he fails to live up to the expectations of the master, the villain can take the responsibility. Sorry!”
Tao Hongfang smiled and said: "If you don't give it a try, how will you know whether you are qualified? But if you are unwilling to come, then I won't force you."
Qin Jian said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, how can the villain not be willing!"
Tao Hongfang nodded and said: "Okay, I will write a transfer order later and I will notify you tomorrow. You go back and hand over the matters at hand first... By the way, you'd better find a place to live in the city and handle official business later. It should be more convenient." Qin Jian nodded repeatedly, and finally asked cautiously: "Sir, what errands will I do after I am transferred here?"
Tao Hongfang said: "Let's do what you are best at. One is to inspect the relief construction sites inside and outside the city, and the other is to audit the distribution of various relief materials."
Qin Jian said: "This seems to be no different from the job the villain is doing now?"
Tao Hongfang said: "The content is similar, but from now on you will no longer be under the Engineering Command, but above it. After discovering the problem, you can instruct the Engineering Command to deal with it, or you can report it directly to the Management Committee .”
Qin Jian paused and then said: "Also, you were just an external employee of the government before, but from this transfer order on, you are an official. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Understood!" Qin Jian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
He could only vaguely understand the entire previous conversation, but he understood the last few sentences - he would be an official member of the government from now on, referred to as an official.
After coming out of Tao Hongfang's office, Qin Jian felt that every step he took was like stepping on the clouds, and his body was so light that he seemed to be floating in the air. Maybe this is what scholars call a steady rise in the clouds, right?
He could hardly believe that he had entered the official career so smoothly. When he was transferred to the city a few days ago, he felt that he might have the opportunity to become an official in the future, but even with an optimistic estimate, he would have to work for at least a year and a half.
But he didn't expect that he would suddenly jump three times in a row, and his identity that was originally out of reach would be obtained in such an unexpected way.
The most important thing is that he feels that he has never worked hard to achieve anything, but good things come one after another. He couldn't help but doubt that all the character and luck he had accumulated in the first fifty years of his life had exploded during this period.
"Whenever I have free time, I have to go to Dabaoen Temple to burn a few sticks of incense, kowtow a few times, and thank the Bodhisattva for his blessing!"
Qin Jian just turned this idea in his mind, and then rejected it on his own: "No, no, this is not a blessing from the Bodhisattva. I have to thank Mr. Haihan for the promotion. I have to work hard in the future!"
Qin Jian left the yamen, called his entourage who was waiting outside, gave him a sum of money, and asked him to go to the most upscale restaurant in the city to buy some good wine and food and send them home first. He would go back after finishing work for the day. Have a good celebration with your family.
For Qin Jian, this appointment was a major event that completely changed his destiny, but for Tao Hongfang, it was just one of the several official duties he handled today.
The reason why Qin Jian was entrusted with the important task was that he needed knowledgeable professionals to inspect the relief projects on his behalf so that he could free up time to handle other official duties.
Of course, he would not 100% trust Qin Jian, a stranger, and he would not leave this job to Qin Jian alone to avoid any information being blocked.
As for the initiative to recommend Qin Jian's youngest son to study abroad, this was to win people's hearts and make Qin Jian grateful to him, and secondly, he also intended to use him as a proton.
