Chapter 152 Opportunity is never a gift from anyone.
"Minister Xiao, the organizational work in Yuanshan County has stagnated significantly, and the appointment of a new minister is imminent."
I observed for a while.
Of the current deputy ministers in Yuanshan County, I feel that Comrade Xiao Lili is the most suitable.
She has extensive experience in grassroots work and has consistently performed well in her positions as director of the county organization department and the bureau for retired cadres.
Especially the matter of arranging for me to take care of Old Wang some time ago, which highlighted her seriousness and meticulousness, and demonstrated her political wisdom in balancing multiple pressures in a complex situation.
During Shao Zhen'an's suspension, Comrade Xiao Lili remained calm and composed, working steadily and diligently, unlike other comrades who were keen on networking and building relationships. She was a reliable and good comrade, and this mindset will play an important role when facing even more severe challenges in the future.
The above are my personal opinions as the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and County Head, for your reference only.
The final decision will depend on the considerations of the municipal party committee leaders.
I reiterate my position: I firmly support and obey all decisions made by the Municipal Party Committee.
David sent a long message.
This is to give face to Xiao Lili, and also to give face to Xiao Zhikai.
Dawei could simply send the name "Xiao Lili" and Xiao Zhikai would understand.
Making it more formal and serious is a sign of respect for Xiao Zhikai's position and character.
He believed that Xiao Zhikai would agree with his opinion.
Dawei had even figured it out long ago: Xiao Zhikai's choice was Xiao Lili.
Earlier, when Xiao Lili asked Dawei to take care of Old Wang at the hospital, it was a leader from the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department who personally spoke to Xiao Lili, asking her to take appropriate care of Old Wang.
However, Xiao Lili didn't take Old Wang seriously, so the matter fell to Dawei.
This incident shows that the Municipal Organization Department and Xiao Lili have always had a harmonious relationship, which means that Xiao Zhikai has a good impression of Xiao Lili, otherwise he would not have entrusted Xiao Lili with the task of taking care of and visiting Old Wang.
However, Xiao Zhikai needed to consider Dawei's intentions, and the most important thing was to select a cadre who could cooperate with Dawei.
The matter in Yuanshan County is handled by the county's five-person group.
If even one more person among these five supports Dawei, his position will be even more secure.
To put it bluntly, the decision-making power actually lies with David.
Xiao Zhikai replied to the message very quickly.
"Received."
It's very brief.
……
"Secretary Xiangzhang, have you spoken to the city about this matter?"
Old Song, the deputy director of the county's organization department, went straight to Zhou Xiangzhang's office as soon as he arrived at work.
He followed Zhou Xiangzhang's path because the previous minister, Shao Zhen'an, was promoted by Zhou Xiangzhang.
"We already gave them a heads-up."
I can't communicate with Xiao Zhikai right now, so I've passed the message on to Mayor Chen's secretary.
Mayor Chen has been very busy lately, so I don't want to keep bothering him.
Old Song asked with some concern, "Has Mayor Chen replied yet?"
Zhou Xiangzhang shook his head. Old Song looked out the window; there was no one outside.
He took an envelope out of his pocket and was about to slip it under the tea tray on the coffee table.
Judging from how floppy the envelope was, you could tell it wasn't money.
These are usually cards, and the cardholder is unlikely to be Lao Song. The password is usually written on a piece of paper and put into an envelope.
"Secretary Xiangzhang, the ministerial candidate will be decided this week."
Could you please help me get it working again?
At my age, if I don't make it this time, I'm afraid I won't have another chance.
Once I'm in there, I'll definitely do my job well. No matter what, I'll always be your soldier.
You know me best.
When the previous minister, Shao Zhen'an, was in office, Shao Zhen'an said on several occasions that he hoped that Lao Song would succeed him in the future, and Zhou Xiangzhang also agreed.
Things are different now.
Zhou Xiangzhang was also quite helpless, as he was well aware of the importance of this position.
The head of the county's organization department is not only a member of the five-person group, but more importantly, he is in charge of the county's organizational development, as well as the selection, assessment, supervision, and training of cadres.
The location is very important.
Without the support of this position, Zhou Xiangzhang could no longer hold his ground.
"Old Song."
I understand how you feel.
When Xiao Zhikai came last time, his attitude was ambiguous, and I was still a little unsure of who he had in mind.
Several days passed, and he didn't contact me.
Then I probably know that the person in his heart is not you.
He knows I get along well with you, and if he needs you, he'll definitely communicate with me first. He'll definitely do me this favor.
He has already prioritized contacting the person he has in mind.
I was definitely the last one to contact.
Moreover, I was certain that he wouldn't ask me who I had in mind, but would simply present someone and ask for my opinion.
Old Song, Mayor Chen's silence is a response in itself.
Mayor Chen certainly couldn't say anything about this.
Next time.
Zhou Xiangzhang took out the envelope and stuffed it back into Lao Song's hand.
"Hurry up and put it away, don't let anyone see it."
Old Song was very disappointed: "Next time... I don't know when next time will be. Will I even have another chance?"
Zhou Xiangzhang said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Song, you're already this old, how come you're still so immature?"
In officialdom, ups and downs are not common occurrences.
Whether there's a chance or not, don't ask me, ask yourself.
Opportunities are never bestowed upon us; they are earned.
If Lao Shao could be brought down, then why can't you bring down the new person who's taken over?
Instead of complaining, we should bide our time and wait for the right opportunity to strike back.
Old Song gritted his teeth, nodded, and left the office.
Around noon.
People from the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department have arrived.
First, he spoke with Zhou Xiangzhang. Just as Zhou Xiangzhang had thought, Xiao Zhikai directly gave her a candidate and asked for her opinion.
Zhou Xiangzhang didn't raise any objections. He was very cunning and knew it would be useless to raise them. Xiao Zhikai was absolutely certain that he had reached a consensus in the city before he made the decision.
Subsequently, the people from the Municipal Organization Department exchanged views with Deputy Secretary Chen Dawei and full-time Deputy Secretary Qi Dahai.
Finally, he had a formal conversation with Xiao Lili.
What the members of the Yuanshan County leadership were unaware of was that the selection of this position had already involved a power struggle between Cai Zhengjie and Chen Tiecai, the municipal party committee secretaries.
However, Chen Tiecai was the one who ultimately retired.
Although Chen Wei had incriminating evidence against Cai Zhengjie.
However, Chen Wei used this leverage to do the most urgent thing—to press Lin Wangyou's case and close it as soon as possible.
In this matter, Cai Zhengjie has taken a step back.
Therefore, Chen Tiecai could not advance further in personnel appointments in Yuanshan County.
Even if you have leverage over someone, you can't be aggressive.
Chen Tiecai wins once, then Cai Zhengjie wins once, and then it's even.
At a crucial point later on, when Cai Zhengjie needed to compromise, Chen Tiecai and Chen Wei would again use their leverage to threaten him.
Threats shouldn't be used too often.
If we use it too much, Cai Zhengjie will break down and might resort to desperate measures, ultimately resulting in no one benefiting.
The cunning Zhou Xiangzhang was unaware of what had happened in the city.
But by observing Chen Tiecai's reaction to this matter, he knew that he couldn't compete for the position of the Organization Minister of Yuanshan County now.
So, going along with it, he did Xiao Lili and Xiao Zhikai a favor and outwardly expressed his approval.
