Chapter 498 [Focus] (Part 1)

After hanging up Zhang Yang's phone, Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the door was knocked, and Qin Qing said, "Come in!"

However, Chang Haixin walked in. She came here specifically to remind Qin Qing to hold the Standing Committee. Seeing Qin Qing blushing, Chang Haixin said in surprise: "Mayor Qin, your face is so blushing!"

Qin Qing felt panic and hurriedly covered his cheeks with both hands: "Is there any?" His palm felt hot and his cheeks were burning. He cursed Zhang Yang in his heart, because it was because he was harassed by the phone.

Of course, Chang Haixin didn't know that Mayor Qin was hiding in the office just now and put the documents on Qin Qing's desk, reminding her: "There is still half an hour to have a meeting."

Qin Qing nodded, suddenly remembered what Zhang Yang had just reminded, and said softly: "Have Mayor Chang returned from a meeting in Dongjiang?"

Chang Hai thought to himself: "No! I don't know what the mysterious thing is."

Qin Qing smiled. Although the Provincial Organization Department has not made any official statement yet, it is a foregone conclusion that Zhou Wuyang, secretary of Lanshan Municipal Party Committee, is going to work in the province. The future secretary of Lanshan's municipal party committee should fall on the shoulders of this old mayor. Although Wu Ming, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, has frequent activities recently, he and Chang Song are not comparable in terms of qualifications or political achievements. Although he is also one of the subjects of investigation, he can only play the role of accompanying the prince in the end. Zhang Yang asked himself to remind Chang Song not to capsize in the gutter. In fact, there is no need.

Zhang Yang did not understand Chang Song's prestige in Lanshan. From being appointed as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Hong Weiji, to Zhou Wuyang, their prestige cannot be compared with Chang Song. Chang Song should have gone further in his career. The fundamental reason for his standing still in the position of mayor is that his upright temperament is that his current cadres want to be straightforward, not only have work ability, not only have political achievements, but also learn to communicate with the upper-level leaders. If you don't understand communication, how can the upper-level leaders understand your abilities? How can they appreciate you and thus improve you?

Chang Haixin asked carefully: "Mayor Qin, I heard that Secretary Zhou is going to be the vice governor?" Although Chang Haixin is not very interested in political affairs, it is related to her father, so she is naturally very concerned about it.

Qin Qing smiled and said, "The Provincial Organization Department has no formal information for one day, and there will be no confirmation for one day! This matter will probably be clear when your father comes back."

The mayor of Lanshan City Chang Song was sitting in the office of the Provincial Organization Minister Kong Yuan. Although Chang Song had been the mayor of Lanshan for many years and was used to the storms, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he arrived here. Chang Song always regarded doing a good job in official affairs as the principle of being a human being, but this does not mean that he could see through his fame. Seven years ago, when he was the deputy secretary of Lanshan Municipal Party Committee, he thought he could serve as the secretary of Lanshan Municipal Party Committee, but Hong Weiji's arrival made him continue as the mayor of Lanshan. After Hong Weiji left office, he thought that it should be his turn this time, but the organization sent a younger Zhou Wuyang. With Chang Song's age, he thought he would never have hope of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but Zhou Wuyang would face improvement in two years in Lanshan. Everyone has shortcomings, and Chang Song is no exception. The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee has become a knot in his heart. Now this knot is finally going to be untied.

Provincial Organization Minister Kong Yuan was covered in spring breeze. He sat down on the sofa with Chang Song very affectionately. Kong Yuan had not been in Pinghai for a long time, and cadres at all levels in Pinghai did not know much about this organization minister. However, everyone knew that Kong Yuan was slapped in the face in Jinghai. That incident greatly reduced Kong Yuan's image in the minds of the cadres. However, since that incident, Kong Yuan became much more low-key and he was more approachable.

Kong Yuan smiled and said, "Mayor Chang, Lanshan is doing well. Under the leadership of you cadres, Lanshan has become a shining pearl of our Pinghai and a symbol of our Pinghai reform! Thank you for your hard work!"

Chang Song said modestly: "The Lanshan Reform has achieved its achievements today is the result of the hard work of all cadres and the masses. I dare not take credit for myself."

Kong Yuan smiled and said, "What a good comrade. If all our cadres were as enlightened as you, our tomorrow would be even better."

Chang Song is a person who doesn’t like to shout slogans. Kong Yuan’s speech smells like a fake and empty. Chang Song is not used to this way of conversation, but he is a leader. Even if he doesn’t like it, he has to endure it.

After Kong Yuan said some high-sounding words, he finally turned the topic to the point. He smiled and said, "Mayor Chang, I am here to listen to your opinions on behalf of all provincial leaders."

Chang Song smiled and said, "Don't say that, Minister Kong, don't say that, what leaders say, what we do, I have no objection!"

Kong Yuan smiled and said, "I guess you have heard of it. The organization has decided to promote Comrade Zhou Wuyang, Secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee, to the position of Vice Governor of Pinghai."

Chang Song said: "I have heard of it for a long time, but there has been no formal text in the organization, so we cannot be sure. Now Minister Kong said this, which proves that sometimes rumors may not be fake." Chang Song's answer was very clever.

Kong Yuan laughed loudly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Mayor Chang is very humorous. After Secretary Zhou left, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier in the future!"

When Chang Song heard Kong Yuan say this, he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart. Kong Yuan's words meant that he would take over Zhou Wuyang's rank and the organization would appoint him as the secretary of the Lanshan Municipal Party Committee. Chang Song felt that he should make some statements. He smiled and said, "I will definitely not let down the expectations of the organization and the love of all the leaders. I will lead Lanshan to a new glory." Everyone would say such high-sounding words, but Chang Song usually said disdainfully.

Kong Yuan said: "I just admire an old comrade like you, who has a sense of responsibility, ambition and a sense of mission!"

Chang Song felt a little unhappy when he heard Kong Yuan define himself as an old comrade. He thought to himself that I am not old in my early fifties, and it is still several years before I retire. However, he still said modestly: "The times are developing too fast now, and my thinking is a little unable to keep up with the development of the times. We have to keep learning in the future."

Kong Yuan said: "It is a good thing to be able to recognize one's own shortcomings. Everyone has more or less shortcomings, but not many people can recognize one's own shortcomings." He laughed again.

Chang Song didn't like Kong Yuan's way of talking very much. He also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, waiting silently for Kong Yuan to get to the point.

Kong Yuan said: "Mayor Chang, how do you think Comrade Wu Ming?"

Chang Song was slightly stunned. Why did Kong Yuan suddenly turn the topic to Wu Ming and call himself from Lanshan far away. Is it just to hear him tell his opinion of Wu Ming? Chang Song knew that Wu Ming was also one of the targets of the provincial inspection, but Chang Song never regarded Wu Ming as his opponent. Chang Song was an open-minded person. When the organization asked him to comment on his competitors, Chang Song said: "Comrade Wu Ming was young and motivated. He made a lot of achievements during his work in Lanshan. He is an excellent young cadre."

Kong Yuan smiled and said, "Mayor Chang has the same view as us!"

Chang Song's heart sank. As a veteran who has worked hard in politics for many years, he has already noticed something wrong from Kong Yuan's words, but he does not believe that the province will choose the latter between him and Wu Ming. After all, Wu Ming's qualifications and political achievements are far from comparable to him.

Kong Yuan's next sentence made Chang Song's mood fall from the clouds into a deep valley. Kong Yuan said: "In the organization, considering your body and the future sustainable development of Lanshan, I decided to propose Comrade Wu Ming as the new secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Lanshan. I believe that Mayor Chang will give full play to the experience and ability of the old comrades to protect Comrade Wu Ming. At first, I was worried that Mayor Chang would have some different ideas. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary, haha..."

Chang Song slammed the teacup on the tea table with two thick eyebrows twisted together. After hearing Kong Yuan’s words, his first thought was that he was dissatisfied. Chang Song still showed considerable restraint. Based on his temper, he had already smashed the teacup on the ground. Chang Song said: "I have no health problems, so there is no need to worry about the organization. I don’t understand what Minister Kong said. My existence will affect the future development of Lanshan City?"

Kong Yuan had long heard that Chang Song was a stubborn temper, a person who dared to contradict anyone if he had a temper, so he tried to speak tactfully today, but he still touched Chang Song's refrain. Kong Yuan smiled and said, "Old Chang, don't be angry. If you can tell me what you can't understand, I can explain it!"

Chang Song said: "Minister Kong, I would like to ask you, is what you said to me your opinion or the opinions of all provincial leaders?"

Kong Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it is the unanimous opinion of the provincial leaders after the discussion! Lao Chang, you are an old comrade, don't pay too much attention to some things! The opportunity should be given to young people, and the future stage will be theirs sooner or later!"

Chang Song stood up suddenly, and he widened his eyes and said, "Minister Kong, don't be old comrades who keep talking. I haven't retired yet. I am fifty-two years old and I have eight years of fucking. I have no health problems. I still want to continue to contribute my little strength to the motherland. What do I value? I have worked as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee for five years, and as mayor for seven years. I will say something here. No one knows better about the situation in Lanshan than me. How should Lanshan develop and how to achieve better development? No one has more say than me. I don't care about the position of the municipal party committee secretary, but I am not old. With your organizational decision, I will give the opportunity to young people, and I will withdraw from the stage of Lanshan? Why? Did I make a mistake or do I have no ability?"

Kong Yuan said with awkward expression: "Old Chang... Don't be excited, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

Chang Song said: "I have been in Lanshan for twelve years. I have more feelings for Lanshan than anyone else. Seven years ago, I had the opportunity to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, but my academic qualifications are limited, and the organization did not choose me. I have nothing to complain about. I studied hard, got a bachelor degree, and I got emba. Two years ago, I became one of the candidates again. I was suffering from gout at the time and I could not take on such a heavy responsibility. I knew myself and told the organization that I took the initiative to give in. Now I have no physical problems and I can also take advantage of my education. The organization said that I am old, old!"

Kong Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be angry, the country's cadre policy is to be younger..."

Chang Song said angrily: "Nonsense! Wu Ming is not qualified yet. I'm not relieved to hand over Lanshan to him!"

Kong Yuan was yelled by Chang Song and was a little embarrassed. He raised his face and said, "Old Chang, what is your attitude? A Communist Party member should be able to take over Lanshan's work. It was not my decision alone, but the result of the joint discussion between the provincial leaders."

Chang Song said: "I don't accept it!"

Kong Yuan said: "I am just responsible for telling you about this, not to listen to your opinions!"

Chang Song said: "I can take it and let it go. I can't figure out what standards are you leaders using to measure cadres? The leaders of a city are related to the future development of a city and the livelihood of millions of people. Just one sentence of youth and one sentence of giving them a chance, it is decided that this is how you have decided? Have you ever respected me, and have you respected the city of Lanshan?"

Kong Yuan's face became less and less beautiful. He slammed the teacup on the table and said, "A qualified cadre must first have a mind!"

Chang Song said: "It is not what I say about my heart. I want the people to say, and I want the comrades to say that either sitting in the office, reading a few newspapers, and drinking two cups of tea, you will have a mind. The mind is to be anxious about the people's concerns and sufferings. I always say that you must have a mind to treat the people, and you will never have any mind to treat unfairness. If you know that it is unfair, if I submit, I will be irresponsible to Lanshan, irresponsible to the people, and irresponsible to myself!"

Kong Yuan sneered and said, "Old Chang, you are so confident. Do you think you are much better than Comrade Wu Ming?"

Chang Song nodded and said, "He is younger than me, which means he will continue to improve and grow, but now I know Lanshan better than him, and I am more suitable to lead Lanshan than him."

Kong Yuan laughed disdainfully.
