Chapter 553: Chapter 510: Vetoed (Third Update, Asking for Monthly Tickets)_1
Chen Renqing is quite irritated recently. After the Yuhai smuggling case ca to light, the Provincial Governnt and Committee of Minan Province also bore significant responsibility and burden. In the tumultuous tis of Minan Province, others are muddling through adeptly. Yet, as the chief provincial party secretary, his career prospects have dimd. It is indeed a painful irony.
Several high-ranking officials of the Provincial Party Committee have advanced their careers. Jia Minfu has moved on and been promoted to the position of Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, while also holding the title of Politburo mber. Obviously, this is a transitional arrangent ahead of the Party Congress in October. After that, Jia Minfu is surely destined to enter the Standing Committee, becoming a part of the ‘Nine Dragons’, and taking charge of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. What a prestigious role. Isn’t this what officials aspire for when they reach the provincial-ministerial level?
Let’s talk about Qiao Yiren, who has also been rightly promoted, and is now a full ministerial-level official. In his forties—a ministerial-level official. It is imaginable that his future prospects are boundless.
Even Li Taishi, the Secretary of the Minzhou Municipal Party Committee, received many benefits. He has beco the Secretary of Wanghai Municipal Party Committee and has been promoted to an alternate mber of the Central Committee, which brings him incredibly close to , a full-fledged Central Committee mber, in terms of party positions.
Having taken his seat, Chen Renqing glanced at the eting attendees, then declared, “Let’s start the eting. But before we do, let’s give a round of applause to welco the newly appointed Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Yi Mingyang. Comrade Yi Mingyang previously served as a standing committee mber of the Chunan Provincial Party Committee and as Deputy Governor of Chunan Province. He has rich experience and leadership skills. His transfer to Minan Province fully illustrates the Central Committee’s support and emphasis on our province. Now, let’s listen to Comrade Yi Mingyang.”
Yi Mingyang, around 50 years old, is undoubtedly in his pri among ministerial-level officials. Having been raised and experienced in his career in Chunan Province, his journey up to his current role has been challenging. This is the first ti Yi Mingyang has left Chunan, and he seems cautious and steady.
His physical appearance exemplifies the characteristics of Chunan natives. He has dense eyebrows and slightly thick lips. His deanor emits a sense of sincerity. Despite his height of only about 1.68 ters, he exudes a striking presence, his eyes are sharp, and there is a hint of the Chunan spirit in his bones. In China, there’s a saying describing the people of Chunan: they endure hardship, behave aggressively, and have remarkable patience. Although this might sound pejorative, it accurately depicts the character of Chunan people.
The atmosphere in the conference room is sowhat strange. Welcoming Yi Mingyang’s arrival is a duty for a provincial party secretary, the leader of the standing committee. However, usually, a simple welco suffices. Chen Renqing’s grand introduction is, to put it in one phrase, excessively enthusiastic.
A smirk appears on Qiao Yiren’s face. What is Chen Renqing trying to achieve? Is he using this opportunity to bond with Yi Mingyang and then in order to suppress ?
Clearly, that’s unrealistic. Even if there was anything that held back, Yi Mingyang surely wouldn’t easily cooperate with Chen Renqing. At this level, elents of both competition and cooperation exist between officials. Who depends on whom is not clearly defined.
At this mont, Yi Mingyang raises his head and smiles, “I thank all mbers of the standing committee and Secretary Chen for the high evaluation of . I am both excited and nervous to have the opportunity to work in Minan. This province is a well-known economic powerhouse in the country, unlike Chunan, an inland province. There’s a lot I need to learn and understand deeply about this place. In the future, I hope my colleagues will kindly instruct and provide with much-needed assistance.”
As he finishes speaking, a smirk appears on Qiao Yiren’s face. Just as expected, Yi Mingyang’s words are flawless. He considers every standing committee mber present, which makes everyone quite pleased.
Chen Renqing also says again, “Let’s start the eting. The agenda for this routine standing committee eting is to discuss personnel issues in Wanghai City. After the Yuhai smuggling case, four leaders from the standing committee in WangHai have been sacked. This scandal is a disgrace to us in Minan Province. These individuals are not worthy of being party mbers. Currently, the work of the city party committee in WangHai is temporarily chaired by Comrade Li Taishi. Vacant positions include a full-ti deputy secretary, a mayor, a deputy mayor, and the secretary of the city party committee. The aim of today’s discussion is to determine the new full-ti deputy secretary, deputy mayor, and the secretary of the city party committee. We will then nominate candidates for the positions of deputy secretary of the city party committee and the mayor, and submit the nominations to the Central Committee for final decision. A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day, just as a family cannot be without a head for a single day. Wang Hai City is at the forefront of our province’s economic developnt and reform, and the economic developnt of WangHai City influences the entire province. Everyone here must strive to be responsible for Wanghai City, Minan Province, and our people. We need to select officials whom the people universally acknowledge. Well, our party has always emphasized democratic centralism. As we are being democratic, feel free to speak your mind. You may nominate any candidate you deem suitable. Comrade Taishi, as the Secretary of Wanghai Municipal Party Committee, the personnel adjustnts you propose will impact the future developnt of Wanghai City. Let’s hear your views first.”
Li Taishi’s na was called. He moved slightly. In the system, humbleness, caution, and modesty are valued on ordinary days. However, if you don’t fight when you should, it gives people the impression that you can be easily bullied. This is what is ant by the term ‘competitive’. There is always sothing to compete for within the system. It is a competitive process, including both healthy and malicious competition. Relying on soone powerful—that’s the very basis and guarantee of competition.
Under these circumstances, Li Taishi must compete. Imdiately, Li Taishi started, “Regarding personnel arrangent and adjustnts in Wanghai City, the city committee has held a standing committee eting specifically to discuss this issue. For the arrangent for the new deputy secretary of the city party committee, we recomnd Comrade Qi Siyuan, the Secretary of City Discipline Inspection Commission. We recomnd Liu Gaohua, the vice mayor of Minzhou City, to be transferred to Wanghai City to take charge of industrial affairs as the deputy mayor, and to join the standing committee of Wanghai City Party Committee. Furthermore, we recomnd comrade Yi Chang, the present deputy secretary-general of Wanghai City Party Committee, to serve as the secretary-general. For the vacant position of the secretary of the city disciplinary commission, we recomnd Deputy Secretary Gao Wei to succeed. In the Yuhai smuggling case, Comrade Gao Wei perford exceptionally. His ability has been acknowledged by Liu Wei, the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. I believe he can handle this role.”
After a brief pause, Li Taishi continued, “Regarding the candidate for mayor, I recomnd Comrade Nie Zhenbang. Despite Nie Zhenbang’s youth, he satisfies the requirents for promotion in all aspects. Moreover, Nie Zhenbang has done an exceptional job on the economic front. The Xinli model and Liangxi’s developnt are all Nie Zhenbang’s work. Now that Wanghai City is ready for developnt, I suggest that Comrade Nie Zhenbang take over the role of mayor. As for the executive deputy mayor position that will be vacant due to Mayor Nie’s promotion, I suggest that Deputy Mayor Li Xiangtian take over.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other standing committee mbers’ faces changed color. This Li Taishi, his appetite was too large, desiring so much power, not giving others a chance. In Wanghai City, with this adjustnt here and recomndation there, the positions involved totaled six. All of these cadres were promoted from Wanghai City. Wasn’t this making the other standing committee mbers of the provincial committee slog?
In the bureaucratic system, a balance was valued, advocating for a distribution of spoils. Now, Li Taishi’s words had enraged many committee mbers.
Among the recomnded candidates, Liu Gaohua was untouchable. Everyone knew that he was Li Taishi’s trusted confidante during his tenure in Minzhou. This move to Wanghai City would certainly be better than his tenure in Minzhou. This was settled. In addition, Yi Chang’s position need not be changed either. The position of Municipal Committee Secretary may sound fine, offering the status of Municipal Standing Committee mber, but in reality, this was rely the chief steward of the Municipal Committee. Without the alignnt of the Municipal Committee Secretary, things wouldn’t go well.
In addition, the position of the Secretary of the Municipal Disciplinary Committee could be given to Qi Siyuan, a major contributor in the Yuhai smuggling case. Not rewarding him would be unacceptable.
These were the calculations many mbers of the provincial committee made in their minds. Silence. After a mont of silence. Lin Hourong, the Executive Vice Governor, slowly spoke, “I agree with the majority of Comrade Taishi’s recomndations. However, I do have different opinions on Comrade Gao Wei serving as the Secretary of Wanghai City Disciplinary Committee and Comrade Nie Zhenbang serving as the mayor.”
Seeing Lin Hourong speak, Chen Renqing was expressionless, but in his eyes, there was a hint of indifference. This ti, Lin Hourong originally had a great chance to beco the governor, but it didn’t occur to him that Qiao Yiren sprang up unexpectedly, and swiftly took advantage on the Yuhai smuggling case. This was also a part of the plan, but there was also the idea of having a full-ti deputy secretary. However, a transfer from Chunan Province suddenly occurred, and Lin Hourong beca the second most hated person in the Yuhai case after Chen Renqing. Nie Zhenbang and Gao Wei were the key players in the Yuhai case. It would be extrely strange if Lin Hourong agreed.
Pausing for a mont, Lin Hourong continued, “First of all, Comrade Gao Wei, who has been promoted to Deputy Departnt level officials, has not even been in this position for a year. This clearly violates the rules. I think Comrade Jiang Huguang, the Secretary of the Minxi City Disciplinary Committee, is very good.”
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Yiren’s face changed. Jiang Huguang was the trusted subordinate of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee Secretary Ding Jiashu. He used to be the secretary of Ding Jiashu. Lin Hourong was trying to curry favor with others but not harming himself.
Jiang Huguang, as the Secretary of the Minxi City Disciplinary Committee, had the level of a deputy hall, moving to Wanghai City would be considered a promotion. Ding Jiashu had no reason to refuse.
However, Qiao Yiren could do nothing. Gao Wei was not qualified enough. If no one opposed, a breakthrough promotion could be arranged. But at this ti, it could only be resolved by the Gao family.
As expected, the proposal for Gao Wei was imdiately vetoed. Finally, Lin Hourong continued, “As for Comrade Nie Zhenbang, I still think he’s a bit too young.”
Regarding Nie Zhenbang, Lin Hourong had no room for criticism. Now, he could only comnt on his age. A deputy departnt-level official under thirty, who was also a party and governnt leader at the local level, was indeed shocking.
Just as Qiao Yiren was about to speak, Chen Renqing suddenly said, “Comrade Hourong’s opinion is good, a responsible attitude indeed. Comrade Nie Zhenbang, I think, still needs a bit of tempering.”
This sentence was equivalent to a veto.
