Duan Zetao raised his eyebrows. Shu Danming was really bold. He said that Ye Tianlong, who has always been regarded as the pride of heaven, was worthless. However, his vision was indeed very poisonous. Ye Tianlong was indeed successful and the Ye family was defeated. With the protection of the Ye family in western Guangdong, it would be smooth sailing. But once he left western Guangdong, it would be difficult to go further.
However, Duan Zetao was not easy to answer, and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Danming, don't kill me. What kind of virtues does Zetao have? How dare you compete with Secretary Tianlong and Governor Danming. You and you are not the same as the heavyweight class. You two top leaders of the party and government, I, as the executive vice governor, can only be a good match, so don't get involved in me if you compete..."
Shu Danming closed his smile and said seriously: "Zetao, do you really think so? I'm afraid it may not be possible. You must have come to western Guangdong to make a difference. The situation in western Guangdong Province was very obvious. The Ye family was the dominant one, so the central government sent you and me here. Now western Guangdong is like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". western Guangdong is the base of the Ye family. In terms of power, Ye Tianlong is naturally the strongest, just like the Wei Kingdom among the Three Kingdoms, but I am not at the mercy of others. I believe you know who my uncle is. If cadres in western Guangdong Province want to make progress, they have to follow my path, so I can be regarded as the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms. You have the weakest power and are considered as the Shu Kingdom among the Three Kingdoms..."
"But it is precisely because of your joining that the situation in western Guangdong has become very subtle. As long as you and me join forces, it is enough to compete with Ye Tianlong and form a three-legged tripod. This is also the situation that the central government expects to see. It can be said that if we are in harmony, we will benefit both, and if we are divided, we will suffer both losses. Zetao, you are a smart person. I don't believe you will not be able to see through this..."
I have to say that Shu Danming is really amazing. If he had spoken directly at the beginning, Duan Zetao would have refused without hesitation, but he chose to invite Duan Zetao to dinner at a food stall, and told Duan Zetao that such a shocking secret in his red successor, which suddenly dispelled Duan Zetao's guard and made Duan Zetao feel good about him.
Then he made a drink to discuss heroes, making Duan Zetao fully feel his importance to him. Finally, he tried to reveal his true thoughts of joining Duan Zetao against Ye Tianlong with the historical story of the Three Kingdoms. His meticulous thoughts and good intentions can be seen, and his words were also very inflammatory, and Duan Zetao was almost convinced by him.
However, it is precisely because Shu Danming was too scheming that Duan Zetao was alert. Shu Danming was the most powerful opponent he had ever met. Duan Zetao didn't like the feeling of being treated as a chess piece, so he pondered for a moment and smiled slightly, "It seems that Brother Danming likes to study the Three Kingdoms very much. Zetao has received a lot of teachings, but now it is not the Three Kingdoms. Brother Tianlong and you and I are both cadres trained by the Party. Even if there are conflicts between us, it is just internal conflicts, far from the point of life and death. If we had the idea of internal struggle from the beginning, how could the work in western Guangdong Province be improved?!..."
Shu Danming's eyelids twitched. He knew that his plan to win over Duan Zetao had failed. He was not angry. He laughed and said, "Haha, I am like me. Zetao, you are right. We should unite and not engage in internal strife. Okay, let's not talk about it. Let's drink, drink!..."
Duan Zetao knew that Shu Danming must not think so. His rejection of his favor would only make him more afraid of him. He only hoped that Shu Danming would really be as he said, and would not use conspiracy to him, and everyone would compete openly by plotting.
Duan Zetao also refused to win over Ye Tianlong and Shu Danming. Ye Tianlong and Shu Danming must have felt a little uncomfortable, but on the surface, they could not see anything abnormal, and they maintained a harmonious atmosphere and were very enthusiastic when they met. However, when Duan Zetao's division of labor was discussed at the Standing Committee a few days later, Duan Zetao felt sad that both sides were not pleased.
According to the custom, the Executive Vice Governor is mainly in charge of government agencies, development and reform, finance, establishment, state-owned assets, taxation, grain, development research centers, key projects, literature and history, consultants, archives, local chronicles, etc., and is a relatively important department and bureau. For example, in charge of finance, it means having financial power. In charge of government agencies, establishment, personnel power and material allocation power. With these powers, when the Executive Vice Governor goes down, the cadres below naturally have to look at each other and receive much higher treatment than ordinary vice governors.
This is also the work under the charge of the former executive vice governor of western Guangdong. Duan Zetao only takes over it naturally. However, during the discussion, Shu Danming pointed out that Duan Zetao had just arrived in western Guangdong and was not very familiar with the situation, so he assigned the most popular and important work in charge of the provincial government agencies, development and reform, state-owned assets, finance, audit, taxation, development research center, and key projects to himself. He only handed over several unpopular departments such as grain, literature and history, consultants, archives, and local chronicles to Duan Zetao in charge, and added several difficult and difficult and thankless work to Duan Zetao, including poverty alleviation, environmental protection, emergency treatment, etc.
But Shu Danming's division of labor cannot be said, because adjusting the division of labor between the deputy governors is exactly the scope of power of the governor Shu Danming, this is Shu Danming's open plot. He gave Duan Zetao a small shoe openly, but Duan Zetao could not express his objection.
Ye Tianlong just said, "The provincial government will not interfere with the work of the provincial government..." and did not express his opinions anymore. The other Standing Committee members looked at Duan Zetao with a strange look. During the meeting of cadres, Ye Tianlong and Shu Danming both had a high opinion of him. Why did both big men dislike him in a blink of an eye?! Is this guy too good at being a human being?
Duan Zetao responded as usual, and said in a low-key manner that he obeyed the organization's arrangements, and would do his job seriously and do his part-time work well.
The cadres below were all very eye-catching. When Duan Zetao was in charge of his work, he knew that he was not welcomed. Originally, when Duan Zetao first came, some cadres from the provincial government and the departments and bureaus came to flock to the door and worshiped the wharf, which was considered to have made Duan Shanrong in advance. Once Duan Zetao's division of labor came out, no one in his office would come to visit.
Duan Zetao was also treated coldly when he went down to investigate. The top leaders of the cities below all asked for excuses and did not show up. The hospitality specifications were even worse than those of ordinary vice governors. Duan Zetao didn't care about these, but it was difficult for him to understand the real situation below, because no one was willing to tell him the truth.
