Chapter 342: Chapter 333 Liangxi City Leadership Cadre eting_1
Luo Guozhong’s words were sowhat venting, but the people of Liangxi City could only listen, not daring to rebut. Why? Because what others were saying made sense. The party and governnt leaders of your Liangxi City, with such a large welcoming convoy, had occupied all the ergency lanes of the expressway. This behavior blatantly violated the current road safety managent regulations.
However, since this was a collective action of Liangxi City, managed by the Hujinag Expressway Police Brigade Liangxi Squadron. Although the highway police are under the jurisdiction of the provincial police departnt’s own highway police headquarters, they are based in Liangxi City. The police of the Liangxi Squadron were deployed from various departnts of the Liangxi City Public Security Bureau. With this privilege, naturally no one would intervene.
But now Luo Guozhong had said it out in public, leaving the leaders of Liangxi City at a loss for words. Seeing Luo Guozhong and Nie Zhenbang had already gotten into the car, Li Guohua’s expression was sowhat gloomy. He was sowhat uncomfortable with this arrangent by Jiangbei Province. The leader of the escort, although not of high rank, was backing Nie Zhenbang, which was not a good sign. Li Guohua did not know that this was due to their own reasons. If Li Guohua knew this, he would probably regret it.
On this side, a hint of playfulness appeared on Zhu Zhuozhen’s face. Looking at it, Liangxi City might not be peaceful. Imdiately, Zhu Zhuozhen also said, “Mayor Li, let’s follow.”
In official circles, such helplessness is common due to distinct hierarchical levels. Sotis, there is no way to handle these small grievances, one can only endure them.
From the border of Liangxi City to the downtown area, a distance of about thirty kiloters, with a guide car sounding its horn leading the way and a police car following behind for escort, all cars in the convoy had their double yellow warning lights on and drove towards downtown Liangxi City majestically.
Half an hour later, the cars drove into the square in front of the office building of the Liangxi City Municipal Party Committee and Governnt. The office building of the Liangxi City Municipal Party Committee and Governnt is a very orthodox building, not very large in size, but very high in floors. The entire building is higher than the surrounding terrain. The main entrance has a dozen or so steps extending downwards, with vehicular access on both sides. The cars in the convoy were parked directly underneath the entrance to the office building. The secretaries had already gone up to welco them, opening the car doors, and Luo Guozhong, Nie Zhenbang, and the leaders who had co to welco them all got out.
At this mont, the Secretary of the Liangxi Municipal Party Committee, Fan Changsheng, was standing by the entrance. Seeing Luo Guozhong, he imdiately went forward to welco him, smiling as he reached out his hand and said, “Director Luo, welco.”
Fan Changsheng’s words were also deeply aningful. Generally, under such circumstances, when Luo Guozhong cos, it ans that he brings a cadre. As the party secretary, Fan Changsheng should at least say a few words of thanks. For example, thanking Director Luo for bringing such an excellent cadre to Liangxi City. But Fan Changsheng did not ntion Nie Zhenbang at all, which implied a certain amount of disparagent.
Luo Guozhong sneered internally, and then said, “Secretary Fan, you are too polite. Liangxi City is the strongest economic city in our province. With Secretary Fan working around the clock, we naturally have to fully assist Liangxi City in doing a good job.”
With that, Luo Guozhong walked towards the inside of the building.
In that instant, a shadow crossed over Fan Changsheng’s face too. But every bit of this was caught in Nie Zhenbang’s eyes. He sneered inwardly. He wanted to put in my place here, but instead he got a slap in the face from Luo Guozhong.
Just now, Luo Guozhong’s words were not vague at all. On the surface, it seed as if he was praising Liangxi City, but in fact, he was mocking Fan Changsheng. Liangxi City is the number one economic city in the province, and you, Fan Changsheng, think you’re so great that you can even disdain soone sent by the provincial party committee. To fully assist Liangxi City in doing a good job, isn’t that saying that the provincial party committee should revolve around Liangxi City? A municipal party secretary, no matter how busy, cannot possibly be working around the clock. Only the premier is described as managing a myriad of daily tasks, how dare you, a municipal party secretary?
Upon entering the Municipal Party Committee office building, on the top floor of the Municipal Party Committee and Governnt office building, there is a large tiered conference room.
The nearly two-thousand-square-ter eting room can accommodate fifteen hundred people for etings at the sa ti. At this mont, the entire venue had been set up.
Right in front, hanging above the rostrum, was a red banner with the words ‘Leadership Cadre eting of Liangxi City’. On the rostrum, the Executive Deputy Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Departnt, Luo Guozhong, sat in the middle. Although Luo Guozhong and Fan Changsheng are of the sa rank, Luo Guozhong is part of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Departnt–he has provincial leadership status. With different identities, Luo Guozhong represented the Jiangbei Provincial Party Committee. Naturally, he was sitting here.
To the left was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Liangxi City, and to the right was Nie Zhenbang, the remaining leaders of the Liangxi Municipal Party Committee team were all arranged in order of sequence.
Underneath the stage, various mid-level cadres from the four major departnts of the Municipal Committee, Municipal Governnt, Municipal People’s Congress, and CPPCC, as well as the heads and deputies of various bureaus under the city’s direct authority. Leaders and deputies from the five districts and two counties controlled by Liangxi City. Heads and deputies of each bureau within the five districts, along with the leaders of mid-level departnts under the city’s direct authority, were all gathered in the eting room — hundreds of people in total.
Firstly, under the direction of the moderator, Hu Youquan, the secretary-general of the Liangxi City Committee, the conference began amidst the resounding national anthem.
Thereafter, Hu Youquan addressed the microphone, saying: “Next, I invite Comrade Luo Guozhong, Standing Deputy Minister of the Provincial Committee Organisation Departnt, to announce the appointnt.”
After Hu Youquan spoke, Luo Guozhong also stood up, with the microphone in front of him. Luo Guozhong produced a docunt and read out loud: “In accordance with the resolution of the Provincial Committee’s Standing Committee, Wu Jiacheng, deputy secretary and mayor of Liangxi City Committee, has been relieved of his duties as the deputy secretary, standing committee and committee mber of Liangxi City Committee. The 32nd eting of the 8th Liangxi People’s Congress Standing Committee approved Wu Jiacheng’s resignation as the Mayor of Liangxi City. Comrade Wu Jiacheng will be assigned other duties.”
Then, after looking around at those present, Luo Guozhong declared again: “The eting decided to appoint Nie Zhenbang as a mber, standing mber and deputy secretary of the Liangxi City Committee, and proposes to the Liangxi People’s Congress Standing Committee that Nie Zhenbang be nominated as the Deputy Mayor and Acting Mayor of Liangxi City.”
After announcing the appointnt, Luo Guozhong imdiately said: “Comrades, Nie Zhenbang has previously served as the Mayor and Party Secretary of Xili City, Xibei Autonomous Region. The economic miracle of Xili City is all down to him. He achieved excellent results during his tenure at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The central governnt is appointing such a strong and capable cadre to our Jiangbei Province, to our Liangxi City as a sign of support and affirmation for our work. Next, I invite Comrade Nie Zhenbang to give his inauguration speech.”
Nie Zhenbang was sowhat surprised by this move. Generally speaking, in this kind of procedure, there is an unwritten rule: if there are changes in the Party Secretary, both the new and old secretaries should be present. After the superior organization departnt leader or superior deputy leader announces the appointnt and dismissal resolutions, the predecessor should first express his retirent sentints, followed by the new secretary’s inauguration declaration.
If it’s the appointnt of an acting mayor, generally, after announcing the appointnt, the top leader of the place of appointnt should first deliver a welcoming speech, followed by the appointnt declaration.
However, Luo Guozhong, who was sowhat displeased, had skipped this part of the process for Fan Changsheng. Of course, these are all underlying norms that are not officially recognized, so there isn’t exactly a written rule stipulating whether what Luo Guozhong did was appropriate. There’s definitely no picking out faults with this. It’s just that Fan Changsheng loses so face.
The mont Luo Guozhong called on him to speak, Nie Zhenbang caught a glimpse of so dissatisfaction flashing in Fan Changsheng’s eyes, even though his expression remained calm.
It seems that Luo Guozhong, Fan Changsheng, and Li Guohua are not on the sa faction. If they were all part of the Li faction, there wouldn’t have been such a case of family not recognizing family during a crisis. If Nie Zhenbang’s estimation is correct, Luo Guozhong might belong to Wang Daan, the full-ti deputy secretary of the Provincial Committee. As the full-ti deputy secretary, Wang Daan is in charge of organizational personnel and party group ideological work. Considering Shen Yanshuo’s thoughts, it’s necessary for the Minister of the Organizational Departnt to make concessions. However, as the responsible leader, the position of a standing deputy minister must be retained; otherwise, Wang Daan, the deputy secretary, will be marginalized. It seems it’s beneficial to take advantage of this in the future.
Having thought of this, Nie Zhenbang also stood up, and after a slight bow to the attendees, he said: “Thank you to the provincial Party Committee leaders and Minister Luo Guozhong. Leaders, comrades, I co to Liangxi City with a mindset and pressure to learn. Our Liangxi City, as the number one economic powerhouse in Jiangbei Province. The city’s annual output value ranks first in the province and third among the nation’s prefecture-level cities. This is the result of the joint efforts of all our leaders and comrades here. However, I am deeply inspired by the achievents of our comrades and I am also willing to accept this challenge. I shall persist in focusing on economic construction, adhering to the four basic principles, pushing forward with reform and opening up. In accordance with the Secretary General’s speech from last year as our guide, I shall contribute to the economic construction of our Liangxi City.”
Nie Zhenbang’s speech contained no bombast, only practicality. At this ti, many new leaders like to set a goal stating what they will do after taking office—Nie Zhenbang chose not to.
That’s because the situation in Liangxi City is different from other places. As an economic powerhouse that surpasses the capital city of Jiangzhou and is located on the shores of the Large Lake, it’s close to Hucheng City with an obvious geographical advantage. The cadres here have a high vision. They don’t need that kind of encouraging bombast. A pragmatic attitude is more likely to resonate with these cadres.
After Nie Zhenbang finished his speech and sat down, he noticed the exchange of glances between the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and Fan Changsheng. Imdiately afterward, Hu Youquan announced the end of the eting. This sudden conclusion made Nie Zhenbang think deeply: Fan Changsheng was not a simple person.
