official career

Seeing everyone applauding, Qin Feng had no choice but to stand up, bow slightly to everyone to express his gratitude, and then sit down again.

"Qin Feng, say a few words." Xie Zhiguo said to Qin Feng with a smile.

Qin Feng didn't expect there would be such a step. He stood up and said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to thank the organization for its trust in me and for letting me take on this important task. I will work hard and will never let the organization down for its training and trust."

"Secondly, everyone here is my senior. I hope you can educate and help me in my future work. If I do something wrong, please correct me..."

Qin Feng spoke for about five minutes, and all he said were some high-sounding words, but he still had to go through the routine procedures.

"According to our leadership division of labor and the requirements of the provincial party committee, Comrade Qin Feng is fully responsible for the entire Xiquan poverty alleviation work..." Xie Zhiguo further said.

Qin Feng's responsibility for poverty alleviation work in Xiquan is not the same as his responsibility for poverty alleviation work as deputy mayor.

Previously, Qin Feng was in charge of the poverty alleviation work of the entire Xiquan Municipal Government as the deputy mayor, but now he is in charge of the poverty alleviation work of the entire Xiquan City as a member of the Municipal Party Committee. This power and scope are much greater. To give a simple example, although Qin Feng was in charge of poverty alleviation work before, he could not avoid the mayor Liu Xiaoping. As long as Liu Xiaoping disagreed with something, Qin Feng would not be able to carry it out.

But now it is completely different, he can completely ignore Liu Xiaoping and does not need Liu Xiaoping's consent, because his identity is no longer just the deputy mayor of the municipal government, but a member of the municipal party committee.

As far as poverty alleviation work is concerned, Qin Feng is the top leader, not Liu Xiaoping. In other words, in the future, for the various units below, Qin Feng's words will be even more authoritative than Liu Xiaoping's, because Qin Feng represents the municipal party committee.

At the same time, the resources Qin Feng could mobilize in the past were limited to the municipal government, but now it is different. He is in charge of the city's poverty alleviation work on behalf of the Party Committee, so he can mobilize almost all resources, not just the municipal government.

The appointment of Qin Feng was not the main topic of today's Standing Committee meeting. There was only one main topic of the Standing Committee meeting today, which was to study and decide on the city's stability maintenance work plan during the Spring Festival. This is a routine top priority for party committees and governments at all levels at the end of every year.

Moreover, for Xiquan City, this matter is even more serious, because during the last Spring Festival, a major case occurred in Xiquan City, which led to the imprisonment of all the main leaders of the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Therefore, the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attached great importance to the stability maintenance work during the Spring Festival this year, and dared not neglect it anymore.

According to the deployment of the meeting, during the Spring Festival this year, the municipal party committee leaders implemented two sets of plans, namely "rotational duty" and "responsibility zoning". In addition to the routine rotation of all municipal party committee leaders during the Spring Festival, this year a responsibility zoning policy was added. At the meeting, it was determined that all standing committee members, except for the municipal party committee secretary and the mayor, would be assigned to a responsibility area, and the standing committee leaders must be fully responsible for the Spring Festival stability maintenance work within their own responsibility areas.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Qin Feng was assigned to Yian County.

Although Xie Zhiguo deliberately kept a low profile on Qin Feng's appointment, that evening, Xie Zhiguo still held a banquet for Qin Feng in the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse in the name of the Municipal Party Committee. All the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee attended the banquet and welcomed Qin Feng into the family of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

This is also a routine procedure.

The next morning, Qin Feng walked into the municipal government's conference room again. Today's meeting was to be an enlarged meeting of the Xiquan Municipal Government's Party Committee.

Walking into the conference room, Qin Feng's seat card was moved from number seven to number two, right next to Liu Xiaoping.

At the end of the year, all work must give way to the Spring Festival stability maintenance work, so all work is carried out around the Spring Festival stability maintenance work.

This meeting of the municipal government's party group discussed the municipal government's stability maintenance work during the Spring Festival. However, before studying the deployment of the stability maintenance work, Liu Xiaoping, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government's party group, introduced Qin Feng's job appointment and welcomed Qin Feng.

Unlike the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government Party Group has only two secretaries, one chief and one deputy. The chief is naturally the mayor, and the deputy is Qin Feng, the executive vice mayor. Therefore, the executive vice mayor has an extraordinary status in the municipal government.

After Liu Xiaoping finished his introduction, Qin Feng made a speech as usual, but this time he made his speech while sitting in his seat and drinking tea. After all, this place was different from the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. He was the leader on the municipal government side, but he was the "youngest" on the Standing Committee side.

Then they began to study and deploy the work of maintaining stability during the Spring Festival. After Liu Xiaoping made his speech, Qin Feng made detailed work arrangements. The entire meeting ended successfully after two hours.

That evening, the municipal government held a grand welcome dinner for Qin Feng in the municipal government's reception hall. According to the municipal government's requirements, the top leaders of the governments of all counties and districts and the heads of various government departments had to come, so five tables were set up in the banquet hall that evening, and all the leaders of the entire government system were in place.

Qin Feng never expected that Liu Xiaoping would make such a big fuss. This was unprecedented. Even when a new mayor took office, at most a few leaders within the municipal government would sit together and have a meal to express their welcome. They had never called all the heads of government units together. Strictly speaking, this was against regulations.

Of course, Qin Feng understood why Liu Xiaoping did this. His purpose was to win him over, express goodwill to Qin Feng, and prevent Qin Feng from getting involved in the subsequent fight between him and Xie Zhiguo.

As the de facto "number four" figure in the entire Xiquan City and the number two figure in the Xiquan Municipal Government, the dinner specially held for Qin Feng was very lively and Qin Feng was very popular. This also led to Qin Feng being drunk at this semi-official and semi-private dinner, and finally he was helped upstairs by Li Jianjun.

Under the existing system, there is an unspoken rule that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility and the more work. Qin Feng became a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the second-in-command of the Municipal Government, which means that the responsibilities on his shoulders have become greater and the work he has to be responsible for has become more. Especially at this time when the Chinese New Year is approaching, he is even busier.

After the municipal government party group meeting, the municipal government held a city-wide Spring Festival stability maintenance work meeting. As a member of the municipal party committee and executive vice mayor, Qin Feng presided over the meeting because Liu Xiaoping went to the province for a meeting that day.

After the meeting, Qin Feng spent another two days inspecting several important poverty alleviation projects throughout Xiquan City.
