Chapter 77 Becoming the mayor
Liu Siyu returned to the village and checked the work of several departments he was responsible for. Relatively speaking, since January this year, the salary of public teachers was directly allocated by the county finance department, and the education problems were much less. He only found Director Xu Xiansheng of the Education Office and Principal Guo Xiaoyang of the Middle School. After absorbing the reports from the two of them on school property management, several of them talked about some errands and asked them to go back.
Seeing that the department was operating normally, Liu Siyu said to Secretary Zhang and drove straight to Pennsylvania. Because the car was to be returned to Lin Zhichao, Luo Hongbing from the police station asked him to come to Pennsylvania to pick him up on the morning of the third day.
After Chen Jiesheng and Li Kai were sent by the Hongshan County Government Office, they were severely criticized by County Mayor Zhang Zhonglin. Yan ordered the two to reflect at home and wait for the county to deal with it.
When criticizing Chen Jiesheng, Zhang Zhonglin was simply disappointed. He didn't expect that when Heihe Township was attracting investment, his generals were in the matter of **.
It seems that I have to think carefully about who will take over the Heihe Township stall. But it can be foreseeable that the position of the township chief must have had a verbal battle at the Standing Committee.
Liu Siyu arrived in Pennsylvania and returned the car to Lin Zhichao. The two sat in the living room and talked about Chen Jiesheng and Li Kai**.
When Lin Zhichao heard Liu Siyu mention this matter on his own initiative, he knew that Liu Siyu must have targeted the position of township chief. He pondered for a while and analyzed to Liu Siyu: "When something happened to Chen Jiesheng, Heihe Township will definitely not be able to stay there. The best result is to be transferred to the county's religious bureau and meteorological bureau to be the director. If it is not done well, he will go to these bureaus to be deputy positions. As for Li Kai, he may not even be able to maintain his deputy section level."
Lin Zhichao saw Liu Siyu listening attentively and continued: "In this way, your township will be vacant as a township chief and a deputy township chief. For this kind of situation, one is to have a place in the township, and the other is to re-switch two people from the county. You should first tell us about the personnel situation in the township."
Liu Siyu told the situation in the village. Lin Zhichao analyzed it for a while in his mind and said, "Deng Changxing is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in charge of the party and the masses. I will make an appointment with him tonight. You can report your thoughts to him."
In a private room at the Binjiang Hotel in Penn City, Lin Zhichao, Deng Changxing and Liu Siyu were drinking and talking. When Deng Changxing was about to leave, Liu Siyu handed over a plastic bag containing a bottle of wine and a cigarette.
That's not ordinary wine and cigarettes.
When Sun Jitang learned about Chen Jiesheng and Li Kai, he was happy. He hurriedly ran to report his thoughts to Zhang Gaowu. Zhang Gaowu listened quietly as Sun Jitang talked about his work achievements without expressing his opinion. He knew that Sun Jitang was the throne of the township chief, and he was his only hope to move towards the throne. However, in his heart, he was still very hesitant. There were two seats in front of Chen Jiesheng and Li Kai, and there were no room for two in the township. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the county. Although the county now asked him to temporarily preside over the work of the party committee and government, everyone knew that the party secretary of the township would definitely not serve as the township chief for a long time.
If the county asked him to recommend a candidate, in his opinion, Sun Jitang and Liu Siyu were the only suitable candidates in the village. But in his heart, he had not yet decided which of these two people was the best.
After Sun Jitang expressed his loyalty, he stood up and left respectfully. Zhang Gaowu looked at Sun Jitang's plastic pocket placed in the corner of the house and thought for a long time.
Just after the New Year, Su Xiangdong asked Qin Zhihong to notify the Standing Committee members at home to have a meeting in the small conference room.
Before Su Xiangdong could enter the conference room, the members of the Hongshan County Party Committee Standing Committee were waiting in the conference room. Seeing that Su Xiangdong had not arrived yet, Executive Deputy County Mayor Guo Yusheng talked about some interesting things during the Spring Festival with Propaganda Minister Liu Yujuan, while Zhou Chengde whispered something to the Organization Minister Chen Yongliang. County Mayor Zhang Zhonglin had a calm face and remembered something important in his notebook. Only Tong Biao, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, had a dark face and drank tea with his head in his mouth.
Minister of Armed Forces Zhu Bin has rarely interfered in county affairs. When the county holds a standing committee meeting, he rarely participates. This time, he unexpectedly did not ask for leave. He sat in his seat early, leisurely looking at the layout of the conference room while smoking, as if the layout of the small conference room made him like him.
Seeing Secretary Su Xiangdong walking towards his position with a calm face, everyone calmed down. Qin Zhihong put Su Xiangdong's teacup and quietly retreated to a corner of the chair and sat down.
Su Xiangdong looked at everyone, as if he was seeing whether everyone was there. When he saw that everyone was here, he took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, okay, let's start a meeting. Today there will be two things to discuss. One is to discuss the work ideas of the whole county this year, and the other is personnel work. Let's discuss the work ideas of this year first."
Everyone expressed their opinions on the work ideas of the county that are studied every year. In particular, Zhang Zhonglin, as the county magistrate, first talked about the government's work ideas. The focus was to increase investment promotion efforts, accelerate the development of Hongshan County's industry, and at the same time increase investment in agriculture and strive to increase farmers' income. Finally, everyone formed a consensus: focus on improving the investment environment, increasing investment promotion efforts, and at the same time reorganizing county-owned state-owned enterprises. Implement poverty alleviation projects, increase farmers' income in the county, etc.
The first topic quickly became unified in thought, and when the second topic came, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"All the members here know that during this Spring Festival this year, our Hongshan County became famous throughout Penn City. One township chief and the other deputy township chief were actually in Pennsylvania. What is this behavior? This is a corrupt and degenerate behavior, and this is an act of corrupting the party style and discipline. Comrades, it is so embarrassing. Our county government office was notified to pick up people and pick up these two people who ignore party discipline and national laws. Alas!" Su Xiangdong said loudly with anger.
Zhang Zhonglin listened expressionlessly, and the other members of the Standing Committee were also thinking in their hearts.
"Okay, I won't say anything else anymore. In short, this incident attracted the attention of Deputy Secretary Deng Changxing of the Municipal Party Committee. He asked us to use this incident to educate party members and cadres in the county and improve the political and ideological awareness of party members and cadres in our county. Now we are discussing how to deal with these two comrades, let everyone talk about their opinions." After Su Xiangdong got angry, he stopped talking and asked everyone to speak.
Zhang Zhonglin patiently listened to Su Xiangdong's speech, while secretly scolding Chen Jie in his heart for life. However, thinking of Chen Jie crying in front of him two days ago, thinking of this person obeying his own words, he couldn't bear it.
This time, when Su Donglin looked at the appearance of Su Donglin, he wanted to use these two people to attack the opposite side of the tree. As soon as Su Xiangdong finished speaking, he said, "As the county magistrate, I feel both sad and sad when something happened in Hongshan County. It seems that while we are focusing on economic control, we have ignored the ideological education of party members and cadres. For these two guys who corrupt the party style, from my heart, it is not an exaggeration to expel the party from public office. However, our party's policies emphasize punishing past mistakes to prevent future ones, curing illnesses and saving lives. We cannot do it for party members and cadres who have made mistakes.
I beat them to death, and we should give them a chance to correct their mistakes. I know Comrade Chen Jiesheng better. Although he made a big mistake this time, he was serious and responsible during his tenure as the head of Heihe Township, and his performance was pretty good. At the end of last year, he negotiated intentional investment with a company. It can be seen that this comrade still has a certain ability to work. I remember that Lao Tian from the Meteorological Bureau is already fifty-two this year and is in poor health. I think if he transferred Chen Jiesheng from Heihe Township and asked him to go to the Meteorological Bureau to reflect on it?"
Chen Jiesheng is his own person, and he should scold him, but he should still be protected. As for Li Kai, Li Chengda will speak for him, and then he will be able to help him say a few words.
After seeing Zhang Zhonglin say this, Zhou Chengde closed the notebook in front of him, looked at Su Xiangdong, and slowly said: "By the mistakes of these two comrades, Secretary Xiangdong and County Magistrate Zhonglin both made it very clear. I think these two comrades do not pay attention to strengthening their own studies, so they make such mistakes. Of course, if such a thing happens, I am the deputy secretary in charge. Here, I will review the county party committee. However, I agree with the opinions of County Magistrate Zhonglin. For comrades who have made mistakes, we should give them the opportunity to correct their mistakes. After all, it is not easy for the Party to train a cadre. Of course, it is not appropriate for these two comrades to continue to stay in Heihe Township. You can consider transferring and give certain disciplinary sanctions."
In the following speeches, they all agreed to transfer the two people from their original positions and give them disciplinary punishments with warnings. The final result was that Lao Tian retired, Chen Jiesheng served as director of the Meteorological Bureau, and Li Kai served as deputy director of the Archives Bureau.
When we discussed where Chen Jiesheng and Li Kai left, another battle without gunpowder began at the meeting.
"...Comrade Sheng Shuisheng, deputy director of the Government Office, is a comrade with good work ability. This comrade not only has high knowledge level, but also has strong party spirit and principles. He has outstanding work achievements as deputy director of the Government Office. I suggest that this comrade serve as the head of Heihe Township. With him and Comrade Zhang Gaowu, I think the work of Heihe Township will definitely make great progress." Although Heihe Township is behind in the county, Zhang Zhonglin still wants to put his own people in.
When Zhou Chengde heard Zhang Zhonglin's proposal to be the head of Heihe Township, Sheng Shuisheng, deputy director of the county government office, cursed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He put down the teacup in his hand, adjusted his thinking, and then said: "Comrade Sheng Shuisheng has grown up very fast in the past two years. He is indeed a good comrade who is serious and responsible in his work. However, from the perspective of benefiting Heihe Township, I still tend to promote one person among the existing cadres in Heihe Township to serve as the head of the township. Although Comrade Liu Siyu has only been to the local area for half a year, he is a full-time section-level cadre, a soldier and has good work ability. In less than half a year in Heihe Township, he has achieved impressive results. I think this comrade can add some burden."
Zhou Chengde originally wanted his secretary Wang Xiaogang to go to Heihe Township. Last night, he received a call from Deng Changxing, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee. Although Deputy Secretary Deng did not say it clearly, he heard what Deputy Secretary Deng meant from the words, so he gave up the idea of letting Wang Xiaogang go down and prepared to support Liu Siyu. Moreover, Zhang Gaowu's intention was that the county could promote one from Liu Siyu and Sun Jitang to serve as the township chief.
When Su Xiangdong heard Zhou Chengde mention Liu Siyu, he raised his eyebrows, but his movements were too small and he couldn't find it if he didn't look closely.
After the following party committees, when they saw Zhang Zhonglin and Zhou Chengde each proposed one candidate, they would not be able to say the candidates in their hearts. In the end, they became Liu Yujuan, Guo Yusheng, Tong Biao, and Li Chengda agreed to let Sheng Shuisheng go to Heihe Township as the township head, Chen Yongliang, Xu Shuncheng, and Chen Daihang agreed to promote Liu Siyu. Now it depends on the attitude of Zhu Bin and Su Xiangdong. When Zhu Bin met the county to study personnel, he often did not express his opinions.
When Zhu Bin saw everyone staring at him, he lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said in a muffled voice: "I have rarely participated in the matters in the county and rarely expressed my opinions. However, this time, I want to talk about my opinion: Regarding the candidate for the township chief of Heihe Township, I firmly support the promotion of Comrade Liu Siyu, and I won't say much about the rest."
When everyone was slightly stunned when they heard Zhu Bin suddenly speak in such a tone, Zhang Zhonglin felt even more shocked.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Su Xiangdong smiled and said, "Everyone spoke freely about the candidates for the township chief of Heihe Township and expressed his own opinions. This is very good, which fully shows that our Standing Committee is promoting democracy. As for the candidates for the township chief, Comrades Sheng Shuisheng and Liu Siyu are both very good, but there is only one township chief in Heihe Township. I have been thinking for a long time and still think that it is more appropriate to let Comrade Liu Siyu be the one. He is originally a full-time section-level position, and this time he is not a promotion. Do you think so?" Su Xiangdong looked at everyone as he said.
Su Xiangdong also received a call from Deng Changxing. When he saw Zhang Zhonglin asking Sheng Shuisheng to be the township chief, he was thinking about countermeasures in his mind. He had made the worst plan. If Zhu Bin abstained from power, he would bring Secretary Deng Changxing out. However, with Zhu Bin's strong support and his own vote, Liu Siyu's position as the township chief of Heihe Township was a foregone conclusion.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhonglin had to settle for the second best, and wanted to compete for the candidates for deputy township chief and Liu Siyu's freed after he became the township chief. Unexpectedly, Organization Minister Chen Yongliang proposed to let Li Zhuxin go to Heihe Township to serve as deputy township chief. Everyone knows that Li Zhuxin is the daughter of Deputy Mayor Li Qingquan and is now the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee, so it is hard to say much. In the end, Leng Yuanming from Zhang Zhonglin's Propaganda Department went to Heihe Township to serve as deputy secretary, which was considered a small gain.
