Sun Xiang dialed the number of Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao, but the office landline did not get through. After hesitating, he dialed Feng Botao's mobile phone again.
In Mayor Ma Liguo's office, Feng Botao was actually talking to Ma Liguo about Zhou Nan's appointment. When he received a call from Sun Xiang, he took out his cell phone, took a look at it and said, "Old Ma, Sun Xiang's phone number, I asked him to hurry up last night.
I contacted Zhou Nan at some time, but he didn’t reply to me until now. It seems that the situation is a bit complicated..."
Ma Liguo smiled and nodded to indicate to Feng Botao to answer the phone first.
Feng Botao pressed the answer button and gave a faint "hmm".
Sun Xiang quickly smiled respectfully and said, "Secretary Feng, I am Sun Xiang from Ningshan. I want to report something to the leader. I wonder if it is convenient for the leader to speak now..."
Feng Botao said calmly, "You can tell me. I'm here with Lao Ma. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't waste time by beating around the bush."
Sun Xiang quickly smiled and said, "Okay, Secretary Feng. That's it. Didn't the leader ask me to contact Comrade Zhou Nan? I called dozens of times last night but couldn't get through. Comrade Zhou Nan seems to have shut down his phone in Hong Kong.
"This morning I contacted Feiteng Group again, trying to contact Comrade Zhou Nan who is in Hong Kong through Feiteng Group, but the other party also said that Zhou Nan's mobile phone was turned off and could not be contacted. I contacted Lan Ruo again, and he also said that he could not be contacted because his phone was turned off."
After hearing what Sun Xiang said, Feng Botao was silent for a few seconds, and then said indifferently, "Okay, I understand. You continue to contact Zhou Nan and try to notify him to return to the county to work as soon as possible. Just say that the municipal committee wants to talk to him.
Important matters."
"Okay, I understand, Secretary Feng, you're busy then. Goodbye." Sun Xiang hung up the phone respectfully and let out a sigh of relief.
Zhou Nan turns off his phone and does not answer the phone, which is a bit abnormal. Once Zhou Nan goes out, his phone is on 24 hours a day, making it easy to contact the county at any time. Of course, this is also a necessity for party and government leading cadres to keep communication open when they go out.
But at this moment, Zhou Nan's cell phone was turned off and he could not be contacted. This made Sun Xiang feel that it must be related to the rumor that "Zhou Nan is about to be transferred to Mengjiawan Guang County Party Committee Secretary."
Since the secretary of the municipal party committee has paid attention to it, this shows that it is not groundless.
If Zhou Nan is determined to go to Mengjiawan and refuses to answer calls from the county or city, there is a good reason. Sun Xiang is slightly disappointed. After all, Zhou Nan's energy is here. If Zhou Nan continues to work with him,
The future development prospects of Ningshan County are promising. At the very least, there will be no problem in bringing in a few more projects.
However, everyone has his or her own political future, and Sun Xiang thought it was normal for Zhou Nan to want to be transferred to a higher position.
city.
Feng Botao put down his cell phone, waved his hand angrily and said, "Old Ma, this Ye Zhaoyan from Mengjiawan actually poached our corner. Damn it! This guy has liked to do this kind of crooked way since he was young. He doesn't follow common sense.
Card……"
Ma Liguo sighed and said, "The problem now is that we don't know whether Ye Zhaoyan took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Zhou Nan, or whether Zhou Nan was trying to transfer him. If it is the latter, we are afraid that we will stay here this time.
Can't stop him."
Feng Botao's face was a little gloomy. He was silent for a while and said, "Old Ma, do you think this boy Zhou Nan can be so impatient? The city hasn't made a final decision yet!"
Ma Liguo remained silent.
"Is Mengjiawan really going to transfer Zhou Nan to the county party committee secretary of Ganguang County? This seems to be an excessive promotion. Ye Zhaoyan is really crazy." Feng Botao gritted his teeth, "The transfer of cadres was done by Ye Zhaoyan.
We are recruiting talents, and we even offered the position of county party committee secretary to attract Zhou Nan, which is a shame he can do it."
"Secretary Feng, the county party committee secretary may not be true, but it should be possible to give it to a district and county magistrate. Although Zhou Nan's group of cadres are nominally municipal cadres, their files and other information are in the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department has transfer and allocation
power... If the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee supports it, it will not be difficult for Ye Zhaoyan to transfer Zhou Nan."
Ma Liguo sighed softly again and said, "The problem now is that we need to contact Zhou Nan as soon as possible and ask for his personal opinion..."
"No." Feng Botao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to ask for any more opinions. We must act in advance and seize the time to make Zhou Nan's appointment first. Our appointment has just been made, the provincial party committee
Even if the Organization Department needs to be transferred, it will be too late. I don’t believe that the young cadres trained so hard in our city will serve as wedding dresses for Mengjiawan in vain!”
A strange color flashed in Ma Liguo's eyes. He smiled softly and said, "Secretary Feng, you mean to..."
"Lao Ma, I will immediately convene a temporary standing committee to study the candidate for Ningshan County Magistrate. This time, I will play the leading role and you will play the role. Before the meeting, I will talk to Chen Yan again. We will strive to appoint Zhou Nan today.
Passed. Request the Organization Department to complete the procedures and issue organizational appointments tomorrow."
Feng Botao's eyes were bright, and his voice was full of strength and toughness. Ma Liguo's heart tightened, knowing that Feng Botao had made up his mind.
Feng Botao is not a very strong Municipal Party Committee Secretary. He has a somewhat gentle style of dealing with people and advocates moderation. Once his political strategy is opposed by other members of the Standing Committee, he will not immediately resort to violent measures, but will often resort to procrastination.
The secret is to exchange time for space and finally achieve the goal.
But this time, under the "threat" of Mengjiawan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Ye Zhaoyan, Feng Botao finally used the authority and thunderous means of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary.
"Okay." Mayor Ma Liguo only said a brief "ok". He has always followed Feng Botao's orders. Even if Feng Botao didn't greet him in advance, he would not stand up to oppose Feng Botao's ideas.
…
…
At 1:30 in the afternoon, members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee rushed to the Municipal Party Committee conference room. Except for the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Feng Botao and the Mayor Ma Liguo, the other Standing Committee members were all present. There are a total of eleven members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in Ningnan. In Binhai Province
The number of standing committee members in prefecture-level cities is relatively small, with some prefecture-level cities having around twelve or three standing committee members.
Dong Lixian, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, exchanged complicated looks with Meng Jie, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau. Then Dong Lixian smiled at Chen Yan, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, "Old Chen, Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma
Did you mention the sudden meeting? Is there a theme for the meeting? I feel like this meeting was too urgent."
Sun Ziqi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor, also laughed in agreement, "Yeah, why are you so anxious? There was a meeting suddenly, and Secretary-General Ma personally called me and said that I was not allowed to ask for leave, saying that it was Secretary Feng who told me.
"
Dong Lixian, Meng Jie, Sun Ziqi, and Propaganda Minister Song Dejie, these four members of the Standing Committee "came together" at some point and assumed a posture of advancing and retreating together.
Chen Yan looked at the four people gasping for breath, and smiled lightly, "I don't know. Secretary Feng didn't communicate with me in advance. He just said that he would have a meeting temporarily and had something to study."
Dong Lixian and others said oh and said nothing.
It stands to reason that when a Standing Committee meeting is held, the topic of the meeting should be sent to all Standing Committee members in advance so that the Standing Committee members can be prepared before speaking and discussing. But this time, Feng Botao convened it at an impromptu meeting, and he had the patience to explain it to them one by one.
.Even Chen Yan just said a few words and asked Chen Yan for her opinion.
Although Chen Yan had a smile on her face, she was sneering in her heart. The reason why the four people, Dong Lixian, stood together and quietly formed an alliance (or in other words, there was an alliance before but they never showed it), in addition to fighting for political interests,
It’s simply because Mayor Ma Liguo will retire in the second half of next year. Ma Liguo is much older than Feng Botao. This is his last term as mayor and he will retire around the National Day in the second half of next year.
Come down.
With more people, words carry more weight. These people are simply targeting the mayor's seat.
Even if you can't win, you can let your "allies" recommend you, thereby realizing your own political interests and increasing your voice in the core of the city's top power. This is the true mentality of Dong Lixian and others.
What these people don't know is that they are not the only ones aiming at the mayor's position, so why doesn't Chen Yan not want to? It's just that Chen Yan is low-key and calm, and hides her ambition very well.
Ma Jun, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, smiled and said, "Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma are here..."
Everyone looked up and saw Feng Botao striding in with a serious face, while Mayor Ma Liguo was calm and calm, with steady steps. There were no emotional fluctuations on his face and expression.
"Secretary Feng, Mayor Ma..."
Feng Botao nodded and sat down in his seat. Then when Ma Liguo also sat down, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, everyone is here. Political Commissar Lin of the military division has a meeting in the provincial capital for special circumstances.
I can’t make it back in time for the meeting.”
"Now we have a meeting. We have called a temporary meeting this afternoon. There is only one topic, and that is to study the candidates for Ningshan County Party Committee Secretary and County Magistrate. Minister Zhou of the Organization Department, you are here to announce the organization nomination."
As soon as Feng Botao's words came out, most of the Standing Committee members present were surprised except Chen Yan, who knew what he was saying.
There is no controversy over the selection of County Party Secretary, and County Magistrate Sun Xiang will take over. This was approved last time, but the selection of County Magistrate was shelved for the time being because of the controversy. It has only been on strike for a few days, so why is there another meeting to study it? Is it possible?
Feng Botao has a new candidate?
or……
Dong Lixian and others suddenly remembered a rumor that had been circulated recently, and their hearts tightened: Is it because of this that Feng Botao couldn't wait to approve Zhou Nan's appointment?
The rumor that Zhou Nan was going to transfer Mengjiawan to serve as Secretary of the Guangxian County Party Committee naturally reached the ears of these Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members, but most people did not believe it and thought it was just a smoke bomb - Zhou Nan was not even the county magistrate.
If you have done it before, how can you directly become the county party secretary? Isn’t this nonsense!
But some members of the Standing Committee implicitly believe it, such as Chen Yan, and Zhou Jilie, the Minister of Organization. Chen Yan has heard a lot of rumors because there are people in the province who are well-informed; while Zhou Jilie has a relationship account from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee because he is doing organizational work.
It was also heard there that Mengjiawan Municipal Party Committee Secretary Ye Zhaoyan not only approached Kong Yan, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, but also another heavyweight provincial leader in order to transfer Zhou Nan.
Organization Minister Zhou Jilie nodded respectfully and said, "Well, okay, Secretary Feng. Secretary Feng, Mayor Ma, everyone, I will announce the nomination of candidates for Ningshan County Party Committee Secretary and County Magistrate by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee."
"After a comprehensive investigation and study by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and submission to Secretary Feng of the Municipal Party Committee, with the consent of Mayor Ma and Secretary Chen of the Municipal Party Committee, it was decided to nominate Comrade Sun Xiang as Secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee, remove him as Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and nominate him to be removed from the position of County Mayor
; Nominate the deputy secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee and the executive deputy county magistrate as candidates for the county government. Please discuss and consider."
Zhou Jilie did not delay, he announced immediately and then stared at everyone.
Dong Lixian subconsciously wanted to speak out to object, but unexpectedly, before he could speak, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Feng Botao expressed his position: "Before the discussion, I would like to say a few words to express my position."
Feng Botao's voice was dark and powerful, contrary to his usual gentle and elegant behavior.
"Ningshan County is now in a critical period of rapid development, and investment promotion is in full swing. At this time, we must get the county's cadres in place as soon as possible to ensure the stability and development of the county."
"Ningshan County, as a well-known poverty-stricken county in our city and even the entire province, has been developing well since 1997. If it continues to develop at this rate, Ningshan County will become the first in southern Ningxia to take off the label of poverty-stricken county in the next step.
counties, and at the same time have great potential for economic development.”
"Therefore, the allocation of cadres in Ningshan County is very important. Comrade Sun Xiang has been trained as the director of the Municipal Construction Committee for many years, and he also served as the county magistrate in Ningshan for a period. He is familiar with economic work and county work. It is appropriate for him to serve as secretary of the county party committee.
Appropriate, proper.”
"Comrade Zhou Nan, although young, is capable, motivated, principled and innovative. More importantly, he is very good at economic work and has made great contributions to attracting investment. The appointment of such a comrade as the county magistrate of Ningshan County will have a great influence on the future.
It plays an important role in the overall development of Ningshan County within this year."
"Now, from the central government to the province, we are promoting the rejuvenation of cadres. We must be good at inspecting and selecting some capable and politically reliable young cadres to fill the grassroots party and government posts to ensure the vitality and healthy structure of the city's cadre team."
"This is my attitude. I agree and support Sun Xiang to be the secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee, and Zhou Nan to be the county magistrate of Ningshan." Feng Botao said in a deep voice, "I hope that the comrades here can proceed from the overall situation and from the perspective of meritocracy.
...Of course, any different opinions can also be put forward."
As Feng Botao spoke, his majestic eyes swept over everyone one by one, showing an uncharacteristically strong look. As soon as he said these words, most of the Standing Committee members were taken aback, and Feng Botao put on a tough posture to force Zhou Nan onto the horse.
, the implication is obvious, you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don’t agree, that’s it!
Dong Lixian took a breath of cold air and wondered why Feng Botao's attitude was so tough this time.
He turned sideways and quietly exchanged glances with Meng Jie beside him, but neither of them hesitated to say anything.
Today's atmosphere is a little different from the past. Raising objections to fight for political gains does not mean openly breaking with the leaders of the municipal party committee secretary, because it will not do them any good.
Ahem!
At this time, Mayor Ma Liguo coughed twice and interjected, "Well, let me talk about it too. First of all, I agree with Secretary Feng's opinion. I agree with Comrades Sun Xiang and Zhou Nan to be the top leaders of the Ningshan Party and Government. Except for Feng
In addition to the points mentioned by the secretary, I would like to mention another point——"
"An important factor when we promote and select cadres is to maintain the continuity of work... It is no exaggeration to say that Ningshan County's current booming investment promotion situation is due to Comrade Zhou Nan's personal efforts that have driven the strength of the entire county.
, several projects that are currently under construction or have been put into operation in the county, including the 1 million-ton steel project with an investment of 150 million that has just been signed in the cooperation framework agreement, are basically the result of Comrade Zhou Nan’s hard work..."
"Therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of Ningshan County's economic development and investment promotion, it is appropriate and safe for Comrade Zhou Nan to continue to handle the administrative work of the county's economic work."
"Also, I might as well reveal something to you. Recently, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is considering adjusting Comrade Zhou Nan to work in Mengjiawan to serve as the county magistrate of Guang County or even the county party committee secretary!...Why is Secretary Ye of Mengjiawan so valued?
What about Comrade Zhou Nan? Because Comrade Zhou Nan is not only an energetic and capable young cadre, but also has a network background in the business field that ordinary people cannot imagine."
"This is Comrade Zhou Nan's greatest advantage. We must actively create a platform for Comrade Zhou Nan to exert his advantages."
"The total amount of continuous investment in two years has reached six to seven billion... It would be impossible for any cadre in the city to do it." Chen Yan, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee next to her, also smiled, took over the conversation and said loudly, "So
, special treatment under special circumstances, for Comrade Zhou Nan
I also think it is feasible to make special promotions. Moreover, Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee also publicly emphasized at the Provincial Party Committee meeting recently that young cadres like Comrade Zhou Nan from Ningshan County should be promoted and reused, so that they can give full play to their intelligence and talents and contribute to the local government.
Contribute to economic development..."
Chen Yan smiled softly and ended her speech.
Feng Botao, Ma Liguo, and Chen Yan, the top three leaders in the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, all expressed this attitude. Chen Yan even used the spirit of the "instructions" of Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee. How could the other Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee members still not know this?
Like a child.
Organization Minister Zhou Jilie immediately expressed his agreement. Immediately afterwards, Ma Jun, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, also raised his hand and nodded. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Lixian and the other two hesitated for a long time, but slowly raised their hands to express their agreement.
At this point, if the four people still forcefully vote against it, it is not impossible, but it will cause trouble with the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, and it will not help the matter. Under the strong power of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, this time the appointment will still be
