Duan Zetao nodded secretly while listening to Zhou Jie describing his ideas on how to promote the economic development of East Lake City. It seemed that he had not chosen the wrong person. This Zhou Jie still had great ideas and had a good grasp of the current problems in East Lake City.
It's true that Duan Zetao himself is an expert in economic work. He inserted a few words and asked a few questions, all of which hit the point, which made Zhou Jie feel like he had an enlightenment and became more and more in awe of him.
Zhou Jie has been squeezed out by An Xuri in Donghu City, and now he finally has a chance to show his ambition. Naturally, he gets more and more excited as he talks, almost dancing. Duan Zetao glances at him, smiles slightly and says: "Comrade Zhou Jie, you
These ideas are very good and very
Constructive, but have you ever considered that the mayor is not the leader. If Comrade An Xuri, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, does not agree with your ideas, your ideas may not be implemented at all. How are you going to deal with such a situation?
?!…”.
Duan Zetao's words hit Zhou Jie's hidden worries. He was suddenly deflated like a ball with a hole in it, and said in frustration: "Minister Duan, it's not that I said bad things about Secretary An. He is indeed too domineering.
Different opinions are not allowed to be heard on the Standing Committee. I really don’t know whether these ideas of mine can be implemented in the end..."
Duan Zetao did not directly respond to Zhou Jie's complaint, but dropped another bombshell, "Comrade Zhou Jie, do you know about the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group? What do you think of this matter?...",
Duan Zetao asked expressionlessly, but he was observing Zhou Jie motionlessly from the corner of his eyes. If Zhou Jie's reaction showed that he was involved in this matter, then Duan Zetao would have to reserve his use of him.
Zhou Jie was shocked when Duan Zetao mentioned the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group. He shook his head and said: "I am not in charge of this matter, but I vaguely heard that the water here is very deep. My predecessor, Donghu City,
Chief Xiao Zhiwen was dismissed because of this incident. People from the city government talked about this incident.
Things are a bit secretive, so I don’t know the specific situation very well. It may involve the loss of state-owned assets. Now that I have become the acting mayor, I will definitely not ignore this matter.
If you ask, we will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!..."
A pleased smile appeared on Duan Zetao's face. He had indeed not misjudged. This Zhou Jie was thoughtful, caring, and enterprising. He was indeed a rare talent. He stood up and said with a smile: "Very good, Comrade Zhou Jie."
, the party needs you to dare to fight like this
Cadres who dare to challenge and fight against corruption! I have also heard about the situation in Donghu City. I feel that if Donghu City does not rectify it, there will be big problems sooner or later, and the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group is exactly what happened.
Breakthrough!...".
At this point, Duan Zetao put away his smile and said sternly: "Of course, you must be strategic in investigating this matter, and you cannot go head-on, because what you have to face is not a person, but an interest group, and you are likely to encounter many problems.
Big resistance, even various conspiracies and traps, do you have the confidence to face it all?!..."
Zhou Jie nodded heavily and said excitedly: "Mr. Duan, don't worry, I will never turn a blind eye to the evil phenomena around me, nor will I shrink from fear of resistance. If I don't make decisions for the people when I am an official, I might as well go home.
Selling sweet potatoes, I will not give in on the issue of principle!..."
Duan Zetao nodded with a smile, took out the reporting materials that Peng Wenqing gave him from the desk drawer, handed them to Zhou Jie, and said seriously: "This is the reporting materials that the laid-off workers of Xijiang Electronics Group gave me.
These clues are being investigated secretly. Don't alert the enemy for the time being. It's not time to collect yet. In addition, my driver, Comrade Hu Tielong, is also secretly investigating the matter in Donghu. I will tell him to contact you if he has anything to do..."
I bet that Minister Duan was already making plans. Zhou Jie felt excited again and felt more confident. He solemnly took the materials from Duan Zetao and put them into his briefcase. Only then did he remember that there was something else in his bag.
Holding the book that his uncle gave him to give to Duan Zetao
He reluctantly took out the precious stamp album, his face flushed, and hesitantly said: "Mr. Duan, this... this time thanks to you... your care, I... I can become the acting mayor, this...
This is a little...little meaning, please...please accept it!..."
Duan Zetao's face became strange. He took the stamp album with a half-smile and looked through it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, it's a big deal. There are even Dalong stamps and 'The motherland is red'. If I estimate
If the stamps are good, the value of this stamp album will be at least over 1 million. Comrade Zhou Jie, can you tell me where this stamp album comes from?!..."
Zhou Jie became even more embarrassed, and said in a dignified voice: "Duan... Minister Duan, this... this stamp album is my... my uncle's collection. All the stamps were collected by him in his early years. They are all... very clean."
…”.
Duan Zetao laughed, "Is it your uncle's idea for you to come to my place? If this stamp album is brand new, I would have invited you out..." At this point, Duan Zetao put away his smile and said seriously:
"Comrade Zhou Jie, do you know why I recommend you to be the mayor of Donghu City?! It's because
Because you are not complicit, because you can maintain your true colors in such a complicated environment! If I accept your stamp album today, what is the difference between me and the people I want you to check?!
And you have tasted the sweetness of exchanging material things for an official career, can you still maintain your true colors?!...".
Zhou Jie broke into a cold sweat when Duan Zetao questioned him, and lowered his head in shame. Duan Zetao saw that he was regretful, so he softened his tone and said: "Since this stamp album is your uncle's hard work, I will not hand it over to the Discipline Inspection Commission."
I've gone and won't do it again!..."
When An Xuri learned about the sudden change at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he had no idea. Zhou Jie had always refused to listen to his calls, and now that Duan Zetao was supporting him, his situation of being consistent in East Lake might be broken. Ma Zhanbo
An Xuri complained about not being able to become the mayor of East Lake as he wished, and there were discordant voices within himself. An Xuri felt a crisis and had to rush to the provincial capital overnight to seek advice from his boss, Long Yutian.
Long Yutian was frustrated at the Standing Committee meeting, and he was also suffocating in his heart. Seeing An Xuri's frightened look, he angrily yelled: "Xuri, why are you panicking?! Isn't it just Zhou Jie?! You are here
Donghu has been operating for so many years
, if you can't even deal with this brat, then just stop messing around, and Zhou Jie is only the 'acting' mayor. To be officially the mayor, he needs to be elected by the National People's Congress, so you won't find a way to let him be the 'acting' mayor.
