"There are rumors outside that Jiang Yunhao and Gong Xiaoqin have a close relationship."

Cao Rong glanced at Zhou Jingfang thoughtfully, and then said, "Because of this matter, Gong Xiaoqin's husband, uh, I should call her ex-husband now, once went to the county committee to make a big fuss."

Zhou Jingfang crossed her hands on her chest and looked solemn: "Secretary Cao, I don't know what you want to express by telling this rumor. Does this explain the discord between husband and wife?"

"Or do you have evidence that Comrade Yun Hao and Comrade Xiaoqin are related?"

Zhou Jingfang's "three consecutive questions" made Cao Rong feel a little disgraced.

He hummed and explained: "Although there is no direct evidence, the impact is not good after all. Especially since Jiang Yunhao is not married yet, we still need to pay attention to some things."

Hearing this, Zhou Jingfang smiled lightly.

"Since there is no evidence, it's just hearsay. Secretary Li, I don't think this matter is worth discussing."

Zhou Jingfang did not ask Cao Rong for his opinion again, but spoke directly to Li Mingchun.

This situation is absolutely impossible to occur in normal times.

After all, Cao Rong is the only full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and is truly the third in command.

Her disregard made Cao Rong's face turn blue and red, which was very unnatural.

Li Mingchun nodded slightly and turned to Ning Yihao, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Comrade Yihao, has your Discipline Inspection Commission received any real-name reports to reflect this situation?"

"No, Secretary Li~"

Ning Yihao affirmed, "Our Discipline Inspection Commission attaches great importance to relevant reports from county-level cadres. If there are any, we will send people to verify them and we will not let rumors fly."

What Ning Yihao said is true.

In fact, for cadres at the level of county party committee secretary or county magistrate, once a major report is made, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection should report it immediately.

Li Mingchun obviously knew this, and he was clearly trying to beat Cao Rong by asking questions knowingly.

Turning to look at Cao Rong, Li Mingchun said calmly: "Comrade Cao Rong, some rumors should not be easily believed. When we do things, we still have to pay attention to evidence."

Cao Rong didn't expect that Li Mingchun would directly lose his face in front of so many people.

Being targeted by the mayor and secretary one after another at the same time made Cao Rong feel a rush of blood.

Speaking of which, his prestige in the city has grown very quickly during this period.

After the "Dingsheng Group" settled, some heavyweight cadres knew about his good relationship with the governor's son.

Following the lead of Governor Zhang, Cao Rong is undoubtedly favored by many people for the next election.

As far as he is concerned, Cao Rong is also very satisfied.

He felt that he had the ability to compete with the secretary and mayor, forming the third pole in the city.

However, for some reason, Cao Rong felt that every time something happened involving Jiang Yunhao, he would be disgraced.

It was like this last time, and it's still like this this time.

Could it be that this kid Jiang Yunhao is actually the nemesis of his life?

Cao Rong calmed down and quickly gave up this idea.

He reorganized his words to explain to everyone the reasons why he supports the other two candidates.

Seeing that Cao Rong no longer challenged Jiang Yunhao on the issue of "relationships between men and women," Zhou Jingfang naturally would not confront him again.

The atmosphere on the Standing Committee has gradually eased.

Soon, the final voting began.

Cao Rong was the first to speak: "The county party secretary must not only understand the economy, but also have the ability to control the overall situation. I think Comrade Qian Ruhai has such ability, so I vote for him."

Cao Rong had not determined whether it was Qian Ruhai, deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee, or Feng Jianhua, secretary of the working committee of the direct investment agency.

Or to put it another way, he has some selfish motives.

Qian Ruhai is closer to Pan Wenlin, the organization director, and Feng Jianhua is closer to him.

If after questioning Jiang Yunhao, he lost the chance to be voted, then Cao Rong undoubtedly hopes that Feng Jianhua will take this position.

But now that my suppression of Jiang Yunhao has had no effect, and he has still entered the final list of three candidates, it is not safe for me to recommend Feng Jianhua again.

So Cao Rong could only settle for the next best thing and push Qian Ruhai.

Ultimately, his purpose was to prevent Jiang Yunhao from reaching the summit in Licheng County.

There's no other reason than that this young man really can't control himself.

After Cao Rong expressed his attitude, Organization Minister Pan Wenlin also raised his hand in approval.

He didn't have any ill feelings towards Jiang Yunhao, but Qian Ruhai was closer to him after all, so it was not difficult to understand why he made this choice.

After Pan Wenlin expressed his stance, Cao Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, if the deputy secretary in charge of the organization and the organization director invested Ruhai money at the same time, then the county party secretary would basically win.

Even if Zhou Jingfang admires Jiang Yunhao, she will still be weak in the Standing Committee.

In voting, she has always been at a disadvantage.

Soon, other members of the Standing Committee also gave their own choices.

As Cao Rong expected, Qian Ruhai had received five votes after Yang Guolin, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Vice Mayor Yang Guolin, spoke.

Just when Cao Rong felt that the situation had been decided, Zhou Jingfang spoke calmly.

"I vote for Jiang Yunhao. He has proven his ability in one year. The economic data of Licheng County is an ironclad fact."

Indeed, no matter who makes extravagant claims, it does not matter whether it is the correct leadership of the county party committee or the concern of the municipal party committee.

No one can deny the achievement of Licheng County’s 50% GDP growth during the same period.

No one can take away Jiang Yunhao's political achievements.

After Zhou Jingfang finished speaking, Executive Deputy Mayor Lu Jun also quickly expressed his attitude.

"I agree with the mayor's opinion, and I also vote for Comrade Jiang Yunhao."

Subsequently, Propaganda Minister Liang Yong and United Front Minister Zhou Zhenqian also voted for Jiang Yunhao.

Cao Rong was not surprised that Liang Yong voted for Jiang Yunhao.

Everyone knows that Liang Yong, the propaganda minister, admires Gong Xiaoqin very much.

He even mentioned to himself before that he hoped to transfer her to help him and serve as the third deputy minister.

Although the trip failed, Liang Yong undoubtedly supported Gong Xiaoqin.

The relationship between Jiang Yunhao and Gong Xiaoqin is there, and they have always used her in important ways.

It is not strange that Liang Yong supports Jiang Yunhao.

But United Front Minister Zhou Zhenqian also supported Jiang Yunhao, which Cao Rong did not expect.

In the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, the presence of United Front Minister Zhou Zhenqian is a bit low.

Usually, I basically follow the lead of Li Mingchun, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

However, because today's vote is relatively important and the differences are relatively large, Secretary Li will definitely be the last to express his position.

Zhou Zhenqian gave his answer first, and no one would blame him.

5 to 4, still one vote ahead.

Cao Rong felt relatively confident in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Li Mingchun, Secretary Li may not necessarily like a young and energetic young man like Jiang Yunhao.

Whichever side has more votes, he will end up on that side.

As for the last member of the Standing Committee, Zhou Linhai, commander of the Ningtai Military Division, there is no need to mention it.

When this person holds meetings of the Standing Committee, he cherishes his words like gold.
