Official Ladder [Grassroots Civil Servants]

For several days in succession, Lu Wenhua had been looking for candidates for the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee. This was the first important job adjustment after the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee took office. You have to follow the rules, you can't use people beyond the norm, otherwise the political ecology of Qin Province will be destroyed when you first arrive, and the prestige of the top leader will be wiped out.After losing people's hearts, it will be difficult to carry out work in the future.

Lu Wenhua, who had no idea, called Duan Pengfei, the executive vice governor, to discuss, and asked, "Pengfei, I don't know much about the cadre team in Qin Province. The secretary general of the provincial party committee can't be vacant for a long time. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Different from the cold reception he received in the provincial government, Duan Pengfei was a little moved. It was definitely important for him to discuss such a big matter with him.

After serious thinking, Duan Pengfei said: "Secretary, I thought about it and searched among the cadres who meet the requirements, but I really can't think of a suitable candidate."

"Are there any suitable candidates among the deputy secretaries-general of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee? How about Zhou Hongjun and Ye Jun?"

"Secretary, I don't think it's appropriate. Zhou Hongjun served as Chen Jiazhong's secretary, and Ye Jun temporarily served Wang Hongtao. Besides, they are not qualified enough, and it hasn't been long before they were promoted to the deputy department level. Qin Province's cadre team was affected by Liu Zhenguo's corruption case. These deputy secretaries-general of the department are either very old and waiting to retire to the second line, or they have been promoted in the past two years like Zhou Hongjun and Ye Jun. I think they have to be found from outside. At the same time, I suggest that the secretary properly deal with them. Let the two deputy secretary-generals go out to serve, you can give them an unimportant top-level position, which can be regarded as winning people's hearts, and then promote some fresh blood to the provincial party committee."

"Well, your suggestion is good. The top priority now is the candidate for the Secretary-General. I can't transfer someone from Liao Province, right? If so, I guess I won't be able to enter the working state for half a year!"

Lu Wenhua thought to himself, if you are given a chance, you are useless!It's so ridiculous that a dignified executive deputy governor has no one available!

Duan Pengfei was a little embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Secretary, there are many people who can be used by the leading groups of prefectures and cities, and the top leaders of provincial departments. However, they are either promoted by Minister Chen Jiazhong, or promoted by Wang Hongtao, or promoted by Governor Liu Congfeng. There are very few, and I really can't think of a suitable candidate for a while."

Suddenly, Duan Pengfei had an idea and said: "Secretary, can you think about it this way and adjust the Minister of United Front Work Chen Ruifeng to the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee. As far as I know, Minister Ruifeng is more principled and independent. He is a leader from the Liu Zhenguo era. It's rare that he hasn't been implicated in any way, the past two years have been relatively low-key, and he has served as the secretary of the municipal party committee, so there is no need to worry too much about his ability."

Lu Wenhua nodded and said: "It can be considered, so who should be the head of the United Front Work? This is a standing committee, and someone needs to speak out on the standing committee."

"Secretary, after all, the United Front Work Department is not as urgent as the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. You can find it slowly, but your careful Wang Hongtao took a shortcut and took this position from the top. Minister Chen Jiazhong supported him very much. There is Secretary Chen Deming, and he is also very valued."

Hearing this, Lu Wenhua felt a little headache. This partner is really difficult to deal with. It seems that we have to talk to him.

After Duan Pengfei left, Lu Wenhua personally called United Front Work Minister Chen Ruifeng and asked him to come over.

After receiving the call, Chen Ruifeng was a little confused. He just paid a visit to the pier yesterday. What's the matter?But the secretary invited him, so he had to go.

After the meeting, Lu Wenhua cut to the chase and said, "Minister Ruifeng, you have been the head of the United Front Work for three years, right? Before that, you served as the secretary of the municipal party committee with outstanding achievements. Do you have any plans to make a move?"

Chen Ruifeng's heart skipped a beat, who in the officialdom doesn't want to climb up?The new secretary of the provincial party committee wants to promote himself?Looking back, the provincial party committee currently only has a vacancy for the secretary-general. Is that what it means?

"Secretary, what instructions do you have?"

"There is a vacancy for the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee. I think you are more suitable. Do you intend to adjust? After two years of training in the position of Secretary-General, your resume will be perfect and you can be adjusted to a more important position."

They are all members of the Standing Committee. The adjustment from the United Front Work Department to the Secretary-General is good or bad. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise see wisdom. Fine-tuning is not very motivating for Chen Ruifeng. You can get in touch with the core of power. Now, it is bearish, and you really don't want to serve others.

What's more, this is making a choice, and the secretary-general can only be the "confidant" of the secretary of the provincial party committee, which means a complete backwardness.Chen Ruifeng was well aware of Wang Hongtao's strength. To be honest, he was not optimistic about the new secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. From various situations, it could be seen that he was not valued by the higher authorities, while Wang Hongtao was in full swing.

Chen Ruifeng's mind was running at a high speed. This was an "olive branch" thrown by the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. If he didn't accept the offer and wanted to continue to survive in Qin Province, the only way was to fall to another mountain, that is Wang Hongtao.

After thinking about it, Chen Ruifeng quickly made a decision and said, "Secretary, the position of Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee is too important and too busy. I am not young at this age, and I am not in good health recently, and my legs and feet are not very convenient. I'm afraid It is a difficult task, and the secretary should be Lin Zeliang, if there are any instructions on the united front work, I promise to resolutely implement them without any compromise."

When Lu Wenhua heard the words, he was shocked. Someone dared to reject the kindness of the secretary of the provincial party committee. Are all the cadres in Qin province so willful and have such character?Doesn't he know what it means to reject the proposal of the secretary of the provincial party committee?What does the little United Front Minister rely on?

Lu Wenhua said with a dark face: "Since Minister Ruifeng is in poor health, I will not force others. However, as a party cadre, the United Front Work Department is the work department of the party committee, and it must maintain a high degree of consistency with the party organization at all times. You are the provincial government. As a member of the Standing Committee, there must be principles that should be there.”

"Secretary, I understand!"

The words were not speculative, and Lu Wenhua said: "Okay, you go to work first, and I will come to you if I have something to do."

After Chen Ruifeng went out, he thought for a while, but didn't return to the office, and went directly to the provincial government.

Seeing that the governor's place was bustling with people, the crowd was like a city, and a large group of department-level cadres were chatting and laughing happily waiting to be interviewed. It was like two worlds with the provincial party committee's crowd. Chen Ruifeng became more confident.

Seeing that the leader has priority at the standing committee level, Chen Ruifeng jumped in the queue grandly, and the others had no objection, but were happy to see the result, and whispered, Minister Chen's coming today has a lot of meaning!

Seeing Chen Ruifeng enter the door, Wang Hongtao was slightly surprised, but immediately greeted him warmly and gave him courtesy.

After making tea, Wang Hongtao said, "Minister Ruifeng, what can you do?"

Chen Ruifeng had already thought up his speech: "Governor, there are two main things here today. The first thing is to express my gratitude. After I become the Minister of the United Front Work, as long as you release three leading cadres when you are in charge of the organization, we will The internal management is smoother, and the cadres are more motivated to work, which is a great support for my work."

"Minister Ruifeng is too polite. Many people don't realize the importance of the United Front Work. This is a magic weapon of our party. The United Front Work Department also has many outstanding cadres. Of course we should support those who should."

Chen Ruifeng continued: "Second thing, I have to ask the governor for help."

"How about this?"

"I came out of Secretary Lu's office, and then I came to you. Secretary Lu wanted me to be the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, but I rejected it. I was thinking, I am from Qin Province, and you are the leader of Qin Province, Governor. Representatives of cadres, what the people want. I can’t decide on such a big matter, I have to come here and ask the governor for instructions.”

It turned out that this was the case, and Wang Hongtao knew it clearly, and said: "I don't think it's necessary to adjust the United Front Work Department to be the Secretary-General. Not only do you have to serve people, but you also have to waste time. If you have the opportunity, I think your next step should be to organize Minister, executive vice governor, no matter how bad it is, you have to give it to a standing committee vice governor to exercise in the government. If there is no position in the province, you can look outside the province. Our country is still quite big. The whole country is a game of chess. If I have the opportunity, I will ask Minister Jiazhong recommended that you go to see the old leader and express your appeal even if you are free."

"Thank you for the governor's point. I will definitely not do this secretary-general. I'm afraid that if I offend Secretary Lu this time, I will be 'put on little shoes' in the future, and I have to trouble the governor to take care of me!"

"Ruifeng, don't worry, you and I are both central management cadres, and the central government has the right to make adjustments. As for work, no one in Qin Province can cover the sky with one hand. As long as we are upright, hard, clean, loyal and clean, and wholeheartedly The development of Qin Province is down-to-earth work, and not everyone can criticize and point fingers for no reason."

"Thank you for the reminder and support from the governor. You can call out at any time if you have anything to do, and you will not hesitate to charge forward!"

Chen Ruifeng left the provincial government with a smile on his face. Wang Hongtao made the calculations. Li Yixiao, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Li Guoquan, Minister of Propaganda, Chen Ruifeng, Minister of United Front Work, and Guo Mingxiong, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee were all his own people. I, Niu Qianhua, vice-governor of the Standing Committee, occupy six seats in the Standing Committee, so I can do my work without any interference.

After Lu Wenhua failed to recruit, he began to look for candidates for the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee again, but the leaders who came to find him in the past two days were all kind of stuff, either the deputy director or the deputy mayor, and it was difficult to be elegant.

The dignified secretary of the provincial party committee had no satisfactory secretary-general of the provincial party committee. If word spread, it would only become a joke for the whole province. So Lu Wenhua called Duan Pengfei over to discuss a new candidate. The most urgent thing was to find a secretary first.

Duan Pengfei learned that Chen Ruifeng had rejected the secretary's offer, and Lu Wenhua learned that Chen Ruifeng had gone to Wang Hongtao's place today.

At the same time, he began to worry again, and Wang Hongtao became stronger again.
