official career

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Xiaoping's secretary pushed the door open and came in: "Mayor, Deputy Mayor Huang is here."

Liu Xiaoping nodded, and then Executive Vice Mayor Huang Jiancheng walked in.

"Mayor." Huang Jiancheng walked in with a smile.

When Liu Xiaoping saw Huang Jiancheng coming in, he quickly stood up, smiled and asked Huang Jiancheng to sit on the sofa, and then asked the secretary to go out.

Huang Jiancheng, member of the Municipal Party Committee, executive vice mayor, deputy secretary of the municipal government party group, the standard second-in-command of the municipal government, and one of the most powerful figures in the entire Xiquan City.

"Xie Zhiguo went to Yian County to inspect work today." Liu Xiaoping handed Huang Jiancheng a cigarette.

"I've heard about this. Secretary Xie is being too hasty, isn't he? He's only been in office for a few days. He hasn't even gotten familiar with the municipal party committee's situation, but he's already started his inspection. I don't think this municipal party committee secretary is a very capable person. He can't even figure out the most basic priorities." Huang Jiancheng sneered at Xie Zhiguo.

"Jiancheng, if you think so, you underestimate him." Liu Xiaoping shook his head and continued, "I have carefully studied Xie Zhiguo's resume. He is a tough guy. He has always been used by the province as a firefighter. Every time he is assigned to take on tough tasks, he succeeds in taking them down, and his achievements are outstanding. He is highly valued and trusted by the provincial party committee. This is why he has been rising like a rocket in recent years."

"If you think that such a person is someone who doesn't know his priorities, you are underestimating him and will suffer a loss." Liu Xiaoping lit a cigarette.

"But isn't it too hasty for him to go down and inspect now? First of all, he didn't sort out the affairs of the Municipal Party Committee and didn't control the city before he went down to inspect. Other than the fact that he is a young and foolish man, I can't see any other reason for this action." Huang Jiancheng was puzzled.

"I think the reason why he is in such a hurry to go to Yian for inspection is related to the Standing Committee meeting to be held on Friday." Liu Xiaoping leaned back on the sofa, exhaled a puff of smoke and said slowly.

"Related to the Standing Committee? Are you talking about personnel changes? That's not related."

"It has nothing to do with personnel adjustments. If it was really for personnel adjustments, he wouldn't have to go to Yian. Yian's personnel were arranged urgently before Xia Junhua was dismissed. This centralized personnel adjustment has almost nothing to do with Yian County." Liu Xiaoping shook his head.

"Moreover, if it was for personnel adjustments, he should have brought people from the Organization Department with him. However, there were no people from the Organization Department on the list of people he inspected this time, so it was obviously not for personnel adjustments," Liu Xiaoping analyzed.

"What's that for?"

"I guess he went there to determine the key counties for poverty alleviation and the targets for support in the tourism industry." Liu Xiaoping took another puff of his cigarette after he finished speaking.

Huang Jiancheng thought seriously about Liu Xiaoping's words.

"You mean he's going to give both of them to Yi'an County?"

"There is no other explanation. He decided to go to Yi'an for inspection after I proposed to convene the Standing Committee and set the date for the Standing Committee. Moreover, he made a temporary decision to go to Yi'an County for inspection before the Standing Committee was convened. His intention is too obvious."

"Look at the projects he inspected in Yi'an County today. They were basically all about poverty alleviation and tourism. What do you think he wanted to convey?"

After Liu Xiaoping finished speaking, Huang Jiancheng frowned and nodded.

"The most important thing is the first sentence he said to Qin Feng when he arrived in Yi'an County today."

"What?"

Liu Xiaoping told Huang Jiancheng the two sentences from Hu Guangxiang that Xie Zhiguo had relayed to him in the car today.

"Just listen, what do you think he means?" Liu Xiaoping said with a smile.

After hearing this, Huang Jiancheng frowned even more tightly.

"Long Jianping called me just now. Xie Zhiguo ordered him to transfer the special funds for the village-to-village road project in Yi'an County that I had withheld earlier tomorrow."

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with this matter itself. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, it is natural for him to do this when he encounters such a thing during his inspection. The more than 10 million is not a big deal. It's just that there is something weird about this matter. I always feel that his inspection in Yian County this time is targeting us." Liu Xiaoping said.

Liu Xiaoping and Huang Jiancheng are old partners. In the interest group of Xiquan, a power circle headed by Liu Xiaoping, Huang Jiancheng is another core figure besides Liu Xiaoping.

Without Huang Jiancheng, the interest group run by Liu Xiaoping would never have been established, nor would it have the power it has today.

When Liang Jianbo was mayor, he was relatively unknown, and many strategies could not be implemented, which had a lot to do with Huang Jiancheng, the executive vice mayor.

At that time, Liang Jianbo was almost sidelined by Huang Jiancheng. In the municipal government, Huang Jiancheng, the executive vice mayor, had more influence than Liang Jianbo, the mayor, because he had a large group of interest groups under him, and they all stood closely behind Huang Jiancheng.

Huang Jiancheng, who is in charge of finance and other work, also made an indelible contribution to the withholding of various funds from Yian County.
