My Career

My first workplace was in Jiashan County, Chuzhou City (now Mingguang, a county-level city).

Four years later, I was transferred back to my hometown city, where I married a nurse and had a son.

When I was 25 years old, one day, while I was going shopping with my wife on the street, I happened to meet the director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of my hometown. The bureau was the superior administrative department of my work unit.

He told me he was going to promote me to be the deputy director of my office and asked me to be punctual for work and leave on time to make a good impression on others.

I was more than excited after hearing that, as I never thought I would become a director of my work unit. I even felt it was unreal. Nevertheless, my wife comforted me, saying, “It's a good thing anyway.”

About three months later, I was appointed as the vice principal by the county government. My work unit was a school responsible for training agricultural machinery operators in my county.

After five years of working as the vice principal, I was promoted to be the principal director of the Agricultural Mechanization Technology Extension Station of my district.

This official position is equivalent to the lowest administrative position in Chinese administrative ranks, that of a deputy township leader.

I have been working as a principal director in two deputy township-level units for 22 years. Now I work in a principal township-level unit as a deputy director and have been doing so for five years.

I dislike asking the higher - ups to promote me. I hate to fawn on the higher - ups and curry favor with them just for getting a promotion.

My attitude towards promotion is that I won’t resist if the higher - ups positively promote me since it’s not a bad thing.

On the other hand, I will never do anything deliberately to get a promotion from them since it’s also not a good thing.

Compared to continuously getting promoted, I value my freedom and dignity more highly.

Four years later, I was transferred back to my hometown city, where I married a nurse and had a son. Four years later, I was transferred back to my home city, where I married a nurse and had a son.

"Hometown city" isn't quite grammatical, since both "hometown" and "city" are nouns. Alternatively, you can omit "city" and just write "hometown".

When I was 25 years old, one day, while I was going shopping with my wife on the street, I happened to meet the director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of my hometown.

One day, when I was 25 years old, while I was going shopping with my wife on the street, I happened to meet the director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of my hometown.

"One day" (and other similar phrases such as "once upon a time") typically sounds more natural all the way at the front.

The bureau was the superior administrative department of my work unit.

Don't forget about putting a comma after "Now" since it's an introductory word. You're adding new information which helps it flow nice.

(1) "Positively" is redundant, because promotions are typically positive in nature, and the reader will understand this. (2) I'd suggest a comma break.
