At the cadre meeting, Vice Minister Ma read out the decision of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee on appointing Duan Zetao as Deputy Secretary of the Nanyun Provincial Party Committee and Acting Governor, and briefly introduced Duan Zetao's resume. Next, it was Xie Chunming's turn to speak.
Xie Chunming slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, cleared his throat and then dragged it out and said: "Just just now, Minister Yunshan announced the central government's decision to send Comrade Duan Zetao to Nanyun Province as acting governor. I fully agree, sincerely support, and firmly obey. Comrade Duan Zetao is young and strong, talented, courageous, and understand the economy. It is appropriate for him to serve as the acting governor of Nanyun Province..."
"Some of the comrades here may not know that Comrade Duan Zetao has another advantage in being the acting governor of Nanyun Province. He is close to our old secretary of Nanyun Province. With the good foundation laid by Comrade Li Qiang, I believe Comrade Zetao should be able to open up the situation soon..."
"Oh!" The cadres in the audience suddenly felt a sudden sound. Xie Chunming's speech just now clearly suggested that Duan Zetao's ability to become the acting governor of Nanyun Province was due to his nepotism with Li Qiang. He did not have any real skills. In other words, this kind of words should not be put on the table on such occasions. However, Xie Chunming was really too resentful, which made him break the window paper, which also shows that Xie Chunming was indeed not broad enough.
Deputy Minister Ma frowned easily after hearing Xie Chunming's speech. He understood Xie Chunming's mood. Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel uncomfortable. However, Xie Chunming was a bit over saying such things on such occasions. However, Vice Minister Ma couldn't say anything in such occasions, so he drooped his eyelids and pretended not to hear it.
A glimmer flashed in Duan Zetao's eyes. Xie Chunming was clearly blatantly belittling himself. If he had no reaction, the cadres below would have a poor first evaluation of him and had no prestige. Who would be worthy of a acting governor who relied on nepotism? Since Xie Chunming did not play according to the rules, he had to fight back in a high-profile manner.
After Xie Chunhe finished speaking, it was Duan Zetao's turn to speak. Duan Zetao also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After everyone's eyes were focused on him, he smiled slightly and said loudly: "Dear Minister Yunshan, Secretary Chunming, Comrades: First of all, I thank the organization for its trust in me. To be honest, I feel a little nervous now. When I reported to the office of Minister Li of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the first thing he said when he saw me was, 'Comrade Zetao, you went to Nanyun Province to serve as a general personally ordered by the No. 1 leader. You can't let the organization down!'..."
"How can I, Duan Zetao, be able to bear the trust of No. 1 leader? In terms of age, I am still very young. In terms of qualifications, many of the comrades here are older than me, so I feel that the burden on my shoulders is very heavy. The only thing I can be proud of is this kind of spirit. I went to Nanyun Province to work, with people and land, and had no relatives and no reason with everyone; I have never worked together, and I have no hatred or resentment with everyone; there is a saying that is, selfless people are fearless, so work will definitely be fearless!..."
"I will have the spirit of being exhausted, the energy of being exhausted, the passion of being untiring, and the perseverance of perseverance. If I don't come, I will take root as soon as I come! I think with this spirit of perseverance, I will have confidence that I will not let down the expectations of the central government and the organization for me, and that I will make a new leap in Nanyun Province!..."
Duan Zetao's passionate speech was very lethal. He first pointed out that he was acting governor of Nanyun Province by relaying Minister Li's words, not because of Li Qiang's nepotism, but because of the generals personally appointed by the No. 1 leader. Not only did he suddenly break Xie Chunming's intention to belittle him, but also made the cadres below feel anxious. It turned out that Duan Zetao was the person he liked by the No. 1 leader! Then you have to deal with it carefully.
His subsequent loud self-analysis showed his sharpness. He first put himself in a relatively low position, suppressed himself first and then rose, and suddenly burst out, which was very shocking, which made the cadres below completely put aside their slight gaze towards the young new governor!
Sparse applause began to sound from the audience. These were all cadres who were originally inclined to Li Qiang. Li Qiang had already explained to them before leaving, but when they saw Duan Zetao so young, he was a little doubtful. Can such a young governor be able to hold on to the scene? Can he fight against Xie Chunming, who is already old? Especially when Xie Chunming just now, Duan Zetao was secretly mocked by Li Qiang's nepotism but Duan Zetao was unresponsive, they were even more disappointed with Duan Zetao and their minds changed.
But just now Duan Zetao's clever and sharp counterattack made their eyes lit up again. It seems that although Duan Zetao is young, it is not simple. Not only is he appreciated by the No. 1 leader, but his courage is not bad. Naturally, he quickly applauded. Someone took the lead, and other neutral cadres also applauded. They were truly impressed by Duan Zetao's sharpness and began to look forward to the changes the young governor would bring to Nanyun Province. The applause quickly sounded, louder and more enthusiastic!
Xie Chunming's face turned pale. He originally wanted to give Duan Zetao a warning to use it to attack his prestige, but unexpectedly, Duan Zetao made a beautiful strike and established his prestige. Naturally, he felt even more uncomfortable, but he could not respond to the story and plucked his palms softly, and then hurriedly announced the end of the meeting.
There was also a welcome dinner in the evening. Deputy Minister Ma was unable to drink. Xie Chunming left the seat quickly because of the bad mood at the cadre meeting. Next, Duan Zetao played the lead role. Because his outstanding performance at the cadre meeting made Duan Zetao full of impression points, the cadres all came over to toast Duan Zetao.
The first one to come was a group of cadres from the provincial government. Duan Zetao was their immediate boss, so he naturally had to flatter him. When clinking glasses with Duan Zetao, he would deliberately put the wine glass a little lower than Duan Zetao and said humbly: "Governor, please do whatever you want!" Duan Zetao naturally could not be really casual. After all, he could not conquer the world by himself. He had to rely on these subordinates to do things, so he could only drink to the end.
After a round, even Duan Zetao's alcohol tolerance was a little bit higher. At this time, several more people came over. It was Li Qiang mentioned to Duan Zetao that the major allies at the Standing Committee, She Qingshan, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, Wu Zaixing, Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, Lu Hongxiang, Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and Shen Zhiping, Executive Vice Governor. These people are older than Duan Zetao and their status is not much different from Duan Zetao. It is naturally impossible for them to be as enthusiastic as the cadres of the provincial government.
However, with Li Qiang's relationship, they are still very friendly to Duan Zetao. She Qingshan, the oldest secretary-general of the provincial party committee, laughed and said, "I heard that Comrade Li Qiang has an excellent son-in-law who rides the dragon. Today, it is indeed worthy of his reputation. Comrade Zetao. Don't worry, we will definitely support you like we support Comrade Li Qiang!" The others also nodded and said yes, only the Executive Vice Governor Shen Zhiping's face flashed with a hint of gloom.
