Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1162

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1035: Glad?

The aftermath of the great earthquake was considered over.

Besides that city being rebuilt once more and welcoming new life again, many places in Beijing have sprouted numerous quirky earthquake tents...

And the fervor for orphan adoption has gradually subsided...

The remaining people, as long as they live, continue their days as they are meant to.

However, the meritorious Zhang Guoqing broke through the era of deadlocked administrative promotions, leaping three grades directly to his dream thirteenth grade.

This also indicates that he can finally enjoy special provisions. Though not as powerful as his father-in-law, at least his three sons are truly the children of high-ranking cadres, right?

Once the transfer order was issued, his position was promoted along with it.

He went from being a powerful director at the General Logistics Department to one of the Vice Ministers. Perhaps this still doesn’t count as a high promotion, maybe it’s as his father-in-law said, the art of balance.

But Zhang Guoqing expressed great satisfaction, considering this the most suitable position for himself at present. He’s only thirty-seven this year, not in a rush, and if promoted again, he’d admit to being a bit apprehensive.

In his view, it’s good to take things slowly. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities in the future. He is not competing for a moment’s success, and with his father-in-law as a backer, he’s not worried about anyone stealing credit.

The final remaining issue was the military rank.

What can be said about this?

Starting from the year he climbed to Major, the military rank system was suddenly abolished. It was rumored that Chairman Mao considered ranks to be symbols of bourgeois armies, unsuitable for our country.

He estimated that if the rank system hadn’t been abolished, by now with a thirteenth grade high cadre treatment, he would be at least a colonel, right?

But there’s no rush; the abolition of ranks naturally has its pros and cons. What is meant for him will eventually be given to him, won’t it?

So less than half a month later, Mr. Zhang sent a letter asking how he became a director. By that time, Zhang Guoqing had already been successfully promoted to Vice Minister Zhang.

Yet this time, he still didn’t tell the truth.

It’s not that he didn’t trust his parents, but if this news spread, the hometown would inevitably be filled with troubles, so a lesser officer would be better.

Of course, he also highly praised the younger generation who supported the disaster area. Regardless of their intentions, they came and gave their fervent dedication.

Just based on that, it was enough to gratify him.

When one place is in difficulty, eight directions support.

If everyone disregards the meaning of life, then what is left for the world to save?!

Didn’t you notice even his usually cold-hearted wife endured a trek of hundreds of miles on foot to the site, staying awake for three whole days and nights?

Lately, Zhang Guoqing has been in a good mood!

Especially now that he became this so-called Vice Minister, he is very happy especially because there’s less work and more time to accompany his wife, which suits him perfectly.

He was enjoying himself, but someone else was not pleased. Busy and exhausted every day, yet this brat still had the leisure to toy with some random knick-knacks to entertain the family.

Didn’t this just make all that previous worrying for nothing?

In the study, Zhou Xiaozheng glared at him with a disapproving look, "Are you happy?"

"Hehe... Dad, I won’t lie to you, it’s really much easier. You see now during meetings, someone stands in front, I no longer need to worry about being called to speak."

Zhou Xiaozheng, speechless, gave him a side-eye, then quietly instructed, "I feel like things are about to change in this period, pay more attention to your work."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoqing nodded thoughtfully.
