After a morning of consideration, Cai Xingmin was ready. He could not offend Deputy Secretary Liu no matter what. He had to vote at the Standing Committee today to remove Feng Sizhe from the candidacy for county magistrate. There was no other way. The matter had reached the provincial committee. He had reached an agreement with Qiu Fugui before going to work in the morning. People from both sides would express their opinions at the meeting at the same time, so that he would become the decision maker with more than half of the votes.

At the beginning of the meeting, Cai Xingmin was not going to waste any more words. He directly announced at the meeting that in view of the impact of this incident, the provincial party committee had formed a bad opinion of Yongyang City. Therefore, it was necessary to make a quick decision on whether Feng Sizhe had the right to be a candidate for the county magistrate election.

After Cai Xingmin finished speaking, he was immediately seconded by Qiu Fugui, and then the voting began.

"Since Comrade Feng Sizhe has only been the deputy county magistrate for more than a year and is relatively young, in order to stabilize the cadre team, based on the standards of the national cadre assessment system, I do not agree to nominate Comrade Feng Sizhe to participate in the election of Dahu County magistrate." Qiu Fugui took the lead and expressed his opinion first. In his opinion, it was a sure thing to take down Feng Sizhe today. Since he had such a good chance of winning, of course he had to take the lead.

As soon as Qiu Fugui finished speaking, Wu Fuliang, head of the Organization Department, Wang Yanjin, head of the United Front Work Department, and Liu Zidao, secretary of Xinglong District, followed suit and raised their hands. Then, Du Tianhe, executive vice mayor, Li Lianxue, head of the Propaganda Department, and Zhu Hai, the newly appointed secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, also raised their hands.

At this point, there are already more than seven votes, and there is no need to make any further statements. The resolution has already been passed.

Seeing the result, Cai Xingmin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart, "Feng Sizhe, Feng Sizhe, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. It's just that the pressure from above is too great. I have to do this. I hope you can understand, and I hope Minister Guan of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department can also understand me."

As he was sighing in his heart, Qiu Fugui said to him softly, "Secretary Cai, the results are out, please announce it quickly."

"Oh, oh. Well, now I announce..."

"Reporting to Secretary Cai, phone call." Just as Cai Xingmin was about to announce the results of the meeting, his secretary Wang Yong ran into the meeting room.

"Who's calling so urgently? Can't you see there's a meeting here?" Cai Xingmin looked very unhappy when he saw his secretary running in and interrupting him. He wanted to scold him, but since so many members of the Standing Committee were present, he thought he would give the secretary a good lesson when he got back.

Wang Yongque didn't seem to notice Secretary Cai's expression. Instead, he ran up to him and whispered, "It's Minister Guan from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department calling in person. He wants you to answer the phone in person, and answer it immediately."

"What?" Cai Xingmin was also shocked when he heard that it was Minister Guan who called him personally. Normally, if there was something he wanted to talk to him about, he would ask the secretary to tell him. It was rare for the leader to call him personally. Could it be that he had heard the news so quickly and knew that he was going to take down Feng Sizhe's eligibility to run for county magistrate, and was coming to him to question him?

Cai Xingmin's heart began to beat fast, wondering what to do. The decision had already been made and he just had to announce it. If Minister Guan put pressure on him at this moment, what choice should he make?

Cai Xingmin answered the phone nervously and said carefully, "Hello, Minister Guan, I am Cai Xingmin from Yongyang."

"Hello, Comrade Cai Xingmin. The reason I called you is to tell you something. Tomorrow I will bring people from the Organization Department to your Yongyang City for research. I am notifying you in advance so that you can be prepared. As for Comrade Feng Sizhe in Dahu County, you don't have to worry about it. I will handle it when I arrive."

What? When Cai Xingmin heard that Guan Changxiao was going to Yongyang in person for Feng Sizhe's request, he felt that the other party was very powerful. However, he knew that it was Deputy Secretary Liu who had spoken this time, and Liu Wenyu's position was higher than Minister Guan. So in line with the idea of ​​obeying a higher-level leader, Cai Xingmin said helplessly, "Minister Guan, the situation is like this. Our municipal party committee is holding a meeting to study the matter of Comrade Feng Sizhe, and there will be a result soon, and Deputy Secretary Liu of the Provincial Party Committee is still waiting to hear my report, I..."

"Your results don't count. This matter will be decided by me personally. Oh, don't worry, this was exactly what Deputy Secretary Liu arranged for me to do. It was he who asked me to go to Yongyang City in person. Okay, let's not talk too much. We'll talk about it when we meet tomorrow." After a beep, Guan Changxiao hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound in the microphone, Cai Xingmin suddenly felt the sweat on his neck flowing down rapidly. He heard the displeasure in Minister Guan's tone at the end. At this moment, he really regretted it. He thought that if he brought up Deputy Secretary Liu, Minister Guan would give up. Who knew that he had already reached an agreement with Deputy Secretary Liu on this matter? Then why would he say such an offensive word to him? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Thinking that Minister Guan will come to Yongyang tomorrow, if he wants to cause trouble for him at that time, wouldn't it be too easy? Thinking that he has offended someone who shouldn't be offended, he really doesn't know what to do next. If he had known this earlier, if he had known that Guan Changxiao would be so determined to protect Feng Sizhe, he would have called him at noon to report what happened here. He believed that Minister Guan would definitely understand him at that time, and he would not be able to say anything no matter what decision he made. But now, he wants to take down someone without even saying hello. It would be strange if he didn't make him angry.

"What's going on Secretary Cai? If there is nothing else, will you continue to announce the results of the meeting?" Qiu Fugui also saw that Cai Xingmin's face was not very good, but he would never believe that Guan Changxiao would offend Deputy Secretary Liu because of Feng Sizhe's matter. It is definitely not worth it to offend the boss for a position as a director. At least Qiu Fugui would not do it.

"Announce?" At this time, Cai Xingmin remembered that the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee was still in session. Thinking about what Guan Changxiao had said just now, Feng Sizhe's affairs were decided by him, and the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee meeting would not do anything, he broke into a cold sweat. Under normal circumstances, even if the leader's position was high, he would not directly interfere with the decision of the first-level party committee, but today Guan Changxiao did break this rule for Feng Sizhe, which shows how strong his confidence is. If he forced the result to be announced at this time, it would really be against him, and he would suffer the consequences later.

"Ah? I declare... Today's meeting is over. The election just now doesn't count. Okay, adjourn the meeting." Cai Xingmin didn't want to explain anything to everyone. If he had to make an announcement, he would just announce the end of the meeting. "Oh, by the way, tomorrow the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member, Minister Guan of the Organization Department will lead a team to Yongyang County for an inspection. Everyone go back and prepare, and deal with the things in your hands. Also, everyone will follow me to the highway intersection to welcome Minister Guan tomorrow morning. Yes, yes, Mayor Chang, Deputy Secretary Qiu, and Secretary Feng, please come to my office. We need to discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's reception." Turning around, Cai Xingmin hurriedly arranged things, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the meeting room. Today's meeting was a bit boring, so it's better to leave quickly, otherwise it would be embarrassing if someone asks about it.

A meeting that was supposed to win ended in a mess, leaving Qiu Fugui confused. In fact, the others were also confused. Chang Ning was originally prepared to argue for Feng Sizhe, but who knew it would end so quickly. But it was good to end it, at least the result was still in his favor, that was all.

The municipal party committee had already decided to disqualify Feng Sizhe from running for county magistrate, but suddenly a phone call came and the meeting was adjourned. The news spread like wildfire, and everyone who heard the news could not help but be shocked. This Feng Sizhe was too powerful. It seemed that someone in the province really was protecting him. His connections were extremely strong.

Feng Sizhe in Dahu County also got the news. He just smiled bitterly, thinking that he had indeed taken a risk this time. It was all thanks to the work he had done before. He guessed that it must be Governor Tong who spoke for him, otherwise Guan Changxiao alone might not have so much courage and influence.

No matter what happened in the meantime, the situation was in his favor. He also received a call from the Municipal Party Committee, informing him that he would rush to Yongyang with Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Fang tonight to report to Minister Guan. So he arranged some work at home early in the morning and asked Wang Ruihua to keep an eye on the house for him temporarily and call him if there was anything. Then he drove straight to Yongyang City with driver Li Shuang.

Not long after the three cars of Sun Chengcun, Fang Zhixian and Feng Sizhe drove out of Dahu County early in the morning, another Audi 100 with a provincial capital license plate appeared in Dahu County. The car drove straight to the county party committee compound.

About ten meters away from the gate of Dahu County Party Committee, the car stopped and three people got out.

The first person was already at the age of knowing the destiny. Next to him was a young man who was dressed neatly and looked like a scholar. Next to him was a middle-aged man who looked inconspicuous but walked very steadily with a gleam in his eyes.
