Retreat to the Back Line

A couple of days ago, a vice minister from the Organization Department of our district visited the Agricultural Bureau and convened a personal work meeting.

After the meeting, I was summoned for a conversation with the minister.

He mentioned that I'm approaching the retirement age and would be relieved of my post to make way for young cadres. I agreed, as it's only natural.

There are still two years until my retirement, and time will fly by quickly.

Once I step down from my current position, I'll feel more at ease with lighter responsibilities and fewer things to worry about. So, this is actually a positive development for me.

Corrections

He mentioned that I'm approaching the retirement age and would be relieved of my post to make way for young cadres.

Could also say: approaching the age of retirement

Once I step down from my current position, I'll feel more at ease with lighter responsibilities and fewer things to worry about.

Could also say: Once I step down from my current position, I'll have fewer things to worry about.

So, this is actually a positive development for me.

Could also say: So, this is actually good news for me.

Paragraph is already strong. Just going to offer some alternative ways to say the same thing.

Very small correction here. With the comma, I think its better to remove the as: "I agreed, it's only natural." or remove the comma and keep the as: "I agreed as it's only natural." My preference would for the first option.

Very well written. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your time working and your retirement too!
