The impact of this official earthquake even exceeded the last Gulin incident. The amount of money and the number of people involved were jaw-dropping. Ye Jianping, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, was so angry that he shouted at the Standing Committee: "A bunch of rats!"
Zhao Xiangyang, who is the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, thinks more about the stability of the officialdom after the earthquake. He first thought of Duan Zetao.【】
Because Xinghua County is located at the junction of Jiangnan and the coastal provinces of Western Guangdong and Eastern Fujian, its geographical location is very important. Both economy and transportation are considered developed in Jiangnan Province. Compared with ancient forests, it is simply much better, but
At the same time, there is also the problem of polarization. For example, Qili Town, Duan Zetao's hometown, is relatively poor because it is located in a mountainous area. Because of the wealth of Xinghua County, the position of county party committee secretary here has also become a popular position, making many people salivate.
Originally, the selection of a county party committee secretary did not need to be discussed at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. However, there were so many dismissed cadres in Xinghua County this time that it was not appropriate for Xingning City to select cadres locally. And the candidate for the county party committee secretary in Xinghua County was not
It is very important, so Liu Dongsheng, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, proposed it to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee for discussion.
Regarding the idea of wanting Duan Zetao to serve as secretary of the Xinghua County Party Committee, Zhao Xiangyang had already communicated with Organization Director Liu Dongsheng, so Liu Dongsheng first brought up Duan Zetao when discussing the proposed candidates.
Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Minister Zhao Fei followed Li Qiang closely. Seeing that Li Qiang frowned and did not express his position, he objected: "Duan Zetao was transferred to the Provincial Government Policy Research Office not long ago. It is not appropriate to be promoted to county party secretary so quickly."
Well, and according to regulations, generally local people cannot be appointed to the top positions in the local area. If I remember correctly, Duan Zetao seems to be a local in Xinghua County?!..."
Zhao Xiangyang wanted to ensure that Duan Zetao came to power this time, so he interrupted Zhao Fei with an uncharacteristic wave of his hand and said: "The central government did not come to a final conclusion on the last matter, so it cannot be said that Duan Zetao made a mistake, and he was in Gulin
The county's achievements are obvious to all, and promotion is normal, especially his performance during the Gulin officialdom earthquake.
It shows that this comrade can stand the test. The current turbulent situation in Xinghua County requires such politically strong and economically competent comrades to control a town. As for the fact that local people cannot be appointed as local leaders, it is not a mandatory rule. Duan Zetao has always
I study and work abroad and don’t have complicated interpersonal relationships there, so I think it’s very suitable..."
The other members of the Standing Committee all looked at Li Qiang. Li Qiang was also very conflicted now. Although he and Duan Zetao didn't like each other, after all, Mr. Li had recognized the relationship between Duan Zetao and Li Mei, and had decided that Duan Zetao would take over the future of the Li family.
Although he wanted Duan Zetao to be directly replaced as mayor under the transition of provincial government agencies, Duan Zetao did not cooperate, so he had to consider Duan Zetao's personal wishes.
Therefore, he thought for a while and nodded: "I agree to let Duan Zetao serve as Secretary of the Xinghua County Party Committee!" All members of the Standing Committee were shocked. A few months ago, Li Qiang was the vanguard of suppressing Duan Zetao. Why has the trend changed today? Zhao Xiangyang also
He glanced at Li Qiang suspiciously. Could it be that Duan Zetao was a two-faced man who had taken refuge in him and then went to flatter Li Qiang?!
Now that both the secretary and the governor have expressed their opinions, Duan Zetao's proposal to serve as secretary of the Xinghua County Party Committee was unanimously approved without any suspense. However, the standing committee members have begun a fierce battle over the candidate of the county magistrate. Zhao Xiangyang has already nominated Duan Zetao.
Secretary, in the county magistrate
It's hard to recommend people after being selected. Your secretary has eaten the meat and has to leave some soup for others. Each standing committee member has his own people to appoint. Although the county magistrate is not a high official, because of Xinghua County's
Due to his special status, the position of Xinghua County Magistrate is quite popular.
At this time, Chu Tianxiong, deputy secretary of the party and mass group who usually sits on the fence in the Standing Committee, said, "Let me recommend someone. Chu Lian, director of the Planning Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, is good!" Chu Tianxiong can be regarded as the representative of the local faction in Jiangnan Province.
, there are many old disciples in Jiangnan, so he usually does not express his position on the Standing Committee, but once he expresses his position, even Zhao Xiangyang and Li Qiang have to pay attention.
Everyone knows that this Chu Lian is Chu Tianxiong’s nephew. Chu Tianxiong is a fairly upright man and rarely uses power for personal gain. He is the only one who dotes on this nephew. Chu Tianxiong has no children and treats Chu Lian like a child.
She treats her own son as she does, paving the way for him since he graduated from college, and became the actual director of the National Development and Reform Commission at the age of only twenty-seven.
Chu Tianxiong was very popular, and it was difficult for others to argue with him once he spoke. Although Zhao Xiangyang felt that it was inappropriate to let Chu Lian, who had no experience in grassroots politics, serve as the county magistrate of Xinghua County, he could not speak out against it.
, after all, if he turns against Chu Tianxiong, who is sitting on the fence, for the sake of a county magistrate position and makes him completely fall to Li Qiang's side, then the gain outweighs the loss.
The news about the Standing Committee spread quickly as if it had wings. Duan Zetao's phone, which had been silent for a long time, started ringing again. The phone calls worth mentioning were from Hu Qidong. Hu Qidong often called after Duan Zetao's transfer.
Liaison with Duan Zetao
Department, and even went to the provincial capital to see Duan Zetao once. He was also very happy that Duan Zetao was promoted to Secretary of the Xinghua County Party Committee. The two talked about the situation of Gulin again. Gulin has now entered the fast lane of development, and its economic growth rate is very fast.
gratifying.
After hanging up the phone from Hu Qidong, Zhong Hanliang, Fang Dongming, and Zhang Xinxian called again to congratulate him. Zhong Hanliang was old and had no ideas. He planned to be content with working as the deputy county magistrate of Gulin until he retired, so it was just a simple congratulation.
Suddenly, Fang Dongming and Zhang Xinxian both expressed their hope to return to Duan Zetao and work with him. Although they are doing well now and Hu Qidong takes good care of them, there is no doubt that their development prospects will be better if they stay with Duan Zetao.
Of course Duan Zetao also wanted to use his own people, but it was not good to transfer people from outside before he officially took office, so he comforted Fang Dongming and Zhang Xinxian to do a good job, and he would definitely transfer them to him if there was a chance.
Liu Chunhua also called. He was lucky not to be involved in this case. He was nominated as executive deputy county magistrate soon after he returned from the Provincial Party School. He was also a popular candidate for county magistrate this time, but
Because Chu Lian suddenly appeared, everything was ruined. He had to
He was overjoyed when he found out that Duan Zetao was appointed as the secretary of the county party committee. In addition to congratulations, he also expressed his intention to join the party. Of course, Duan Zetao also hoped to have someone familiar with the government, which would also help him quickly understand the situation in Xinghua County.
situation and quickly take control of the situation.
Originally, Liu Chunhua said that he would go to the provincial capital to report on his work, but Duan Zetao declined because he might have to leave in two days, and made an appointment with Liu Chunhua to discuss the matter in detail in Xinghua.
The phone was getting a little warm from the call, but just as he hung up, the phone rang again. Duan Zetao didn't want to answer it anymore. When he saw that the number was Wang Guodong's, he quickly pressed the answer button and heard Wang Guodong's hearty laughter from the phone.
came.
"Zetao, your phone is hotter than the hotline right now. I've been dialing for half an hour, but I can't get through!".
Duan Zetao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Guodong, please don't laugh at me. This person can only see true love in times of trouble. Without your advice, I might still be sitting on the bench in the Policy Research Office!...".
Wang Guodong chuckled and said: "Gold will shine wherever it goes. I heard that Governor Li Qiang voted for you. It seems that you will soon become the governor's son-in-law, haha! Secretary
, the provincial governor is protecting you, your rise to office is like riding a rocket! I will ask you to take care of me from now on...".
Duan Zetao didn't tell Wang Guodong about his visit to Beijing to meet Mr. Li. He also didn't want his relationship with Li Qiang to be spread all over the city. In this way, even if he did something good, others would take it for granted that it was Li Qiang's help, which would do more harm to his growth than
Li quickly said: "Brother Guodong, you have to keep this a secret from me. I don't want others to think that I got here through nepotism...".
Wang Guodong laughed and said: "Zetao, you don't trust me when I do things, but I have to remind you that you have to handle your relationship with Secretary Zhao well. If you make him think that you are two-faced, then you will be in trouble."
Oh, haha, you are walking on a tightrope now, don’t let your brother fall in love with your sister-in-law!”
Duan Zetao also had a headache with this issue, but he also figured out that he would support whoever was against him, so that he would not violate his conscience or be called two-faced.
At this time, Wang Guodong said mysteriously: "Zetao, do you know why today we only discussed the candidates for secretary and county magistrate of Xinghua County, but not the candidates for mayor of Xingning City?".
"Yeah, I find it strange too. It is said that the candidate for the mayor is more important! Brother Guodong, don't hold back, just tell me." Duan Zetao said in confusion, he knew that Guodong must have inside information.
"I heard that on the one hand, the mayor's case has not been fully investigated, and on the other hand, a mayor may be parachuted down from the central government. I heard that he is a ruthless character. His name is Ji Mo!"
When Duan Zetao heard that he was coming from the central government again, he was very upset. Last time, Mayor Yuan had always been at odds with him. Now here comes Mayor Ji. From the name, you can tell that he is a clingy and elegant person, and he is probably not easy to deal with.
.
After chatting with Wang Guodong for a long time, he hung up the phone. As soon as he returned to the office, Liu Shuangxi and Xie Yuanchao greeted him eagerly, "Director, congratulations, congratulations!".
Duan Zetao naturally knew what they were thinking. He was also very satisfied with Liu Shuangxi and Xie Yuanchao. They not only endured hardships and were loyal, but also had outstanding talents. He planned to take them both down this time. After all, he was alone.
It is impossible to conquer the world all at once, and you must have a group of capable subordinates. He confessed his ideas to Liu Shuangxi and Xie Yuanchao, and the two of them, who had been married for many years, became wives and left happily.
After work, Duan Zetao returned to his residence. It was inconvenient to live in the provincial government dormitory, so he bought a villa in Binjiang Garden. Jiang Xiaoxue and Li Mei would sometimes come to spend time with him, but they never wanted to
At the same time, although he desperately longed for the beautiful spring scene of the three of them sleeping together, as soon as he mentioned it, Jiang Xiaoxue and Li Mei would blush with shame, pick up pillows and beat him violently, and then run away laughing.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a black Santana car parked at the door. When he saw him approaching, a middle-aged man greeted him with a smile on his face.
