Volume 1 Chapter 33: Reputation Soars (Seeking Bookmarks and Recommendations) Carefree

  This was Sun Ping's first time eating at Peng Yuanzheng's place, and certainly not her last.

  Now Sun Ping is resentful and humiliated, thinking of how to regain her dignity from Peng Yuanzheng, but unfortunately she never thought that in the following time, she no longer had any opportunity.

  Over the weekend, Peng Yuanzheng stayed at home and wrote two promotional heavyweight dispatches on the "third industry" without leaving his door. In his previous life, he was a minor official in charge of writing documents and was familiar with the writing style of government agencies. He knew the key points that leaders would focus on when it came to such materials, so he wrote them with ease and fluency.

  However, he adhered to the principle of being humble and low-key, and in between, he still called Gong Hanlin twice to ask for advice on related issues and seek guidance. In fact, the idea had been there all along, but this was also a kind of respect for the leader.

  Gong Hanlin was very happy, firstly because Peng Yuanzheng worked overtime to prepare materials, and young people who were so hardworking and dedicated were rarely seen. Secondly, Peng Yuanzheng knew how to ask for advice and guidance, a sense of propriety that was also rarely seen in ordinary young people.

  At least, it can't be seen on Ma Zi and Wang Na.

  Gong Hanlin was a materialistic person, and he gradually developed some appreciation for Peng Yuanzheng, who could write materials, and prepared to cultivate him as his own successor.

  Although Peng Yuanzheng felt that Gong Hanlin's idea was not necessarily the best, he still followed Gong Hanlin's opinion. According to Gong Hanlin's "pointers", he perfected two drafts.

  On Monday after work, it was handed over to Gong Hanlin's desk.

  "Director Gong, this is the two drafts I wrote. Please review and help me revise them." Peng Yuanzheng smiled as he placed the materials on Gong Hanlin's desk, then went to refill Gong's teacup with water.

  Seeing him being so attentive to Gong Hanlin, Sun Ping's face became as long as a donkey's.

  Gong Hanlin was somewhat surprised, looking at the manuscript in his hand, and said, "Far Expedition, you wrote two over the weekend? Actually, there's no need to work overtime like this, the leader still has time!"

  "I'm not doing anything at home anyway, so I might as well practice my writing and get familiar with work." Peng Yuanzheng smiled and returned to his own seat.

  Ma nodded his head in approval and gave him a thumbs up.

  Gong Hanlin looked at the manuscript with growing astonishment. It wasn't that Peng Yuanzheng wrote badly, but rather that he wrote too well, too wonderfully, and too colorfully. As he gazed at the smooth and mature writing style in front of him, he even felt some doubt: Was this really written by a student who had just graduated?

  In his view, this is no longer a matter of good foundation or having talent, but rather being too stunning and almost eerie.

  If it were merely a matter of elegant writing or ornate language, Gong Zizhen would not have received such high praise.

  What really made Gong Hanlin feel uneasy was that Peng Yuanzheng's grasp of materials and key points had actually surpassed his own, a veteran who had worked with materials in the organization for over a decade - he lavishly embellished the things leaders liked to see, content suitable for lectures; while many elements not conducive to propaganda reports were skillfully downplayed by him, glossed over with a single stroke, leaving no trace.

  Moreover, Peng Yuanzheng summarized the strategic thinking of Xin'an Municipal Committee's development of the tertiary industry this time as: "Accelerating the development of commercial logistics", "steadily promoting cultural catering industry", "focusing on building ecological tourism industry" and "actively improving financial services industry".

  With Gong Hanlin's intuition, once these two drafts are published, they will definitely win the appreciation and high attention of the municipal party committee leaders.

  Gong Hanlin let out a sigh of relief. He slowly raised his head and looked at Peng Yuanzheng, his eyes extremely complex.

  He had originally wanted to be Peng Yuanzhen's teacher, using the three years to properly bring out a disciple. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that his disciple's level far surpassed his own - but how could this be possible?

  "Great job on the draft, Peng Yu. However, there are a few details that need to be refined. Come here and let me tell you about them." Gong Hanlin smiled and beckoned Peng Yu over with his hand.

  "Alright, Director Gong, go ahead!" Peng Yuanzheng stood up and walked over to stand behind Gong Hanlin.

  Gong Hanlin's revisions were actually unnecessary, but as a leader, it is impossible not to make any changes to subordinates' drafts. More or less, some changes must be made to show the leader's level and authority. This is also a rule and convention.

  Of course, this rule only applies to department leaders like Gong Hanlin. Once the department leader has approved it, when it reaches a higher-level leader in charge, it will basically pass through.

  Two articles were signed and issued by Zhu Chengrong, the deputy minister in charge, and published on Wednesday and Friday's Xin'an Daily in prominent positions. The Propaganda Department's News Section has continuously published three heavyweight articles on "Promoting the Third Industry" series, it is unknown whether they have caused a strong reaction among readers, but within the Xin'an Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department and the municipal party committee leadership circle, they have undoubtedly triggered intense attention.

  At this time, Peng Yuan Chong's name began to ring out.

  Municipal Party Secretary Xue Xinlai highly praised the series of communiqués launched by the Publicity Department at the Municipal Standing Committee meeting held on Saturday. Immediately afterwards, at the Publicity Department Director's Office Meeting on Monday, Municipal Standing Committee member and Publicity Department Director Xiao Jun affirmed the recent work of the News Section and specifically commended Peng Yuanzheng, suggesting that he be given key training.

  Xiao's suggestion actually gave instructions. His naming and praise basically indicated that Peng Yuanzheng had truly established himself in the propaganda department system, taking root.

  Before you know it, it's already early September.

  After working in the Propaganda Department for nearly a month, Peng Yuanzheng became famous and became the most well-known young man in the department. He became famous not only because of his talent, but also because he was humble and courteous, with excellent interpersonal skills. Whether it was old comrades in the organization or young people who had just entered officialdom, everyone had a very good impression of him. Of course, Sun Ping was an exception.

  Generally speaking, some talented young people have more or less the problem of being arrogant and looking down on others, but these problems are not seen at all in Peng Yuanzheng. This is a key factor in his good interpersonal relationships.

  A young person with talent, refinement and a hint of kindness, who wouldn't like them? Moreover, without any conflict of interest, no one would be stingy with a few words of praise.

  To speak of it, he was actually quite proud and aloof in his previous life. But after rebirth, he had long hidden this bone-deep characteristic cleverly in the deepest part of his heart, locking it up tight.

  This Friday afternoon, after getting off work, Peng Yuanzheng and Ma Zi left the municipal party committee compound together, one heading south and the other north, each returning home. Ma Zi had wanted to invite Peng Yuanzheng to go eat barbecue and drink beer together, but Peng Yuanzheng remembered that his mother was alone at home, so he declined.

  As he walked home, his new BP machine rang. Although he hadn't received his first month's salary yet, with the 20,000 yuan given by Old Lady Feng, he had a relatively comfortable financial situation, so for convenience, he bought a Chinese display phone.

  He pulled it out of his pocket and took a look, seeing that it was a Beijing phone number. Peng Yuanzheng's heart tightened as he recognized the number as Feng Boda's home phone.

  Found a public phone booth on the street, used his IC card to dial the number, and after connecting, Feng Qianru's clear and elegant voice came over, "Hello, is it Coach Peng?"

  Peng Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Feng Xue Mei, what brings you here?"

  Although the two were nominally cousins, they had never really addressed each other before. Hearing Feng Qianru's voice with a hint of playfulness, Peng Yuanzheng also called out "Feng Xiaomei" in response.

  For Feng Qianru, he still had a few points of gratitude in his heart. In his previous life, he didn't have much deep connection with Feng Qianru, but in this life, Feng Qianru was the first key figure in his life, her appearance changed his fate and life trajectory.
