official career

"For the candidate for the mayor of Shanghe Town, County Mayor Changsheng recommended Comrade Jia Bin, the executive deputy mayor, and Secretary Dong Liang recommended Comrade Jia Bin, the deputy secretary of the Shanglin Town Party Committee. For the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, County Mayor Changsheng recommended Comrade Luo Yunlin, the current deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Secretary Dong Liang recommended Comrade Hu Dongsheng, the deputy director of the Water Resources Bureau." He Zhongkai reported.

"No other comrades greeted you, right?"

"No, no leader in the city came to say hello." He Zhongkai answered truthfully.

In the past, for such an important position, naturally many people from all walks of life would come to He Zhongkai to ask for his advice. Although the final decision was not in He Zhongkai's hands, as long as He Zhongkai included people in the inspection list, there would be a certain chance, and this opportunity was very important.

But this time, apart from Cao Changsheng and Zhu Dongliang, no one else said hello. This either means that Cao Changsheng and Zhu Dongliang had already said hello to everyone else, or everyone knew that Cao Changsheng and Zhu Dongliang were competing, and knew that there was no chance, so they did not participate, so as not to lose more than they gained.

"You are the Minister of Organization. Tell me what you think about the personnel adjustments of these two positions." Qin Feng asked while lighting a cigarette.

Before coming here, He Zhongkai had thought that Qin Feng would definitely ask him this question. He also knew that this question was not easy to answer given the situation where Cao Changsheng and Zhu Dongliang were at loggerheads. If he answered it wrongly, he would offend one of them. More importantly, if he answered it wrongly, Qin Feng would think that he was on one side.

"The former mayor of Shanghe Town was removed from office because of the strict crackdown by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Under such circumstances, for the sake of the stability of Shanghe Town and the subsequent impact, I personally think that it is best to let an old comrade with a strong political stance and rich experience serve as the mayor of Shanghe Town, and it is best if this person is transferred from outside Shanghe Town. This will minimize the impact of the Shanghe Town corruption case on the new team. This adjustment of the county committee will minimize the risk and is the safest."

"As for the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, this is a very professional department. The former director of the Civil Affairs Bureau should retire and be replaced by someone who is familiar with civil affairs and can quickly take control of the situation in the Civil Affairs Bureau."

He Zhongkai said in a serious tone.

After hearing what He Zhongkai said, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile.

He Zhongkai's requirement for the candidate for the mayor of Shanghe Town is that he must be an old comrade and must be transferred from outside Shanghe Town. This obviously means that he does not agree with Jia Bin, the current executive deputy mayor of Shanghe Town recommended by Cao Changsheng, and supports the current deputy secretary of the Shanglin Town Party Committee recommended by Zhu Dongliang.

As for the candidate for the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, He Zhongkai suggested that it should be someone who is familiar with civil affairs and can take control of the situation and get started as soon as possible. Obviously, this is aimed at Luo Yunlin, the current deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau recommended by Cao Changsheng, which is equivalent to implicitly not supporting Hu Dongsheng, the deputy director of the Water Conservancy Bureau recommended by Zhu Dongliang.

He Zhongkai's strategy of supporting one and opposing the other is indeed brilliant. It neither offends Cao Changsheng nor Zhu Dongliang, and at the same time clearly conveys to Qin Feng that he does not take sides.

"Besides the two people recommended by Comrade Changsheng and Comrade Dongliang, do you think anyone else is suitable to recommend?" Qin Feng asked.

"We have also discussed this in the Organization Department, but at the moment there is no more suitable candidate than the one recommended by County Mayor Changsheng and Secretary Dongliang."

"We have conducted preliminary investigations and democratic evaluations on these comrades, and the results are very good," He Zhongkai replied.

"What do you think of Comrade Zhou Liang?" Qin Feng asked casually while smoking.

After Qin Feng said Zhou Liang's name, He Zhongkai was very surprised, but he immediately began to think about Qin Feng's intentions, and at the same time carefully thought about the deeper intentions behind Qin Feng mentioning Zhou Liang at this time.

If Qin Feng wanted to recommend Zhou Liang from the beginning, then Qin Feng would have brought it up when Zhou Liang first reported to Qin Feng before making the inspection plan. At that time, Qin Feng did not mention any candidate, which means that Qin Feng did not intend to intervene in this personnel adjustment at the beginning, but was ready to give the power of this personnel adjustment to other comrades in Yian County.

And now Qin Feng suddenly proposed a candidate for recommendation, which means that Qin Feng does not intend to give this power to other people. In addition, Cao Changsheng and Zhu Dongliang are fighting fiercely over this personnel adjustment. After connecting the past and the present, He Zhongkai immediately guessed Qin Feng's intention.

"Of course there is nothing to say about Comrade Zhou Liang. Comrade Zhou Liang has worked in the government for many years and has a solid theoretical foundation. His work attitude and ability are impeccable. Moreover, as long as he is by your side, the mayor, he will have a more accurate grasp of the county party committee's development strategy and the overall perspective." He Zhongkai replied quickly.

Qin Feng proposed Zhou Liang, which means that Qin Feng intends to recommend Zhou Liang. No matter how stupid He Zhongkai is, he can't disobey Qin Feng. Zhou Liang is excellent in himself. Even if Zhou Liang's performance is poor, as long as Qin Feng wants to recommend him first, He Zhongkai must agree.

"Mayor, are you planning to send Comrade Zhou Liang to Shanghe Town or to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" He Zhongkai asked.

"Of course, he should go to Shanghe Town. Do you think it is appropriate to let him go to Shanghe Town?"

"It's very suitable. It's time for Comrade Zhou Liang to go down and gain some experience. Comrade Zhou Liang is young and has strong political qualities. Shanghe Town now needs a comrade with strong political qualities and enterprising spirit."

He Zhongkai had previously said that Shanghe Town needed an old comrade to take charge, and now he said that it needed a young and enterprising comrade.

"Then include Comrade Zhou Liang in the list of candidates for investigation and conduct a surprise investigation."

"Okay." He Zhongkai nodded quickly.

"Also, regarding the selection of the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, it is too thin to only examine two comrades, and these two comrades are not the most reliable options. So, your Organization Department should study it again and add a suitable comrade to the list of candidates for examination."

"As matters are urgent, we should keep the procedure simple. Tomorrow at the five-member group meeting, put these comrades on the list for discussion." Qin Feng did not ask He Zhongkai for his opinion, but accepted the order first.

After coming out of Qin Feng's office, He Zhongkai was confused. It was not until he returned to his office, smoked two cigarettes and drank a cup of tea that he figured out what Qin Feng meant.

The last words Qin Feng said to He Zhongkai contained too much important information, which resulted in even a veteran like He Zhongkai being unable to figure out Qin Feng's intentions for a while.

Qin Feng only asked Zhou Liang to go to Shanghe Town, but did not specify who would take over as the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Instead, he asked the Organization Department to choose a candidate on its own. He also explained that the candidates recommended by Cao Changsheng and Zhu Dongliang had flaws. This was the first time he told He Zhongkai that Qin Feng had given the position of director of the Civil Affairs Bureau to He Zhongkai. For He Zhongkai, this was almost a pie in the sky.
