"Secretary Lu, I want to discuss a few candidates with you. I feel that you are too hasty."
Lu Yiwei closed the document and looked at Zhang Fan, who was sitting opposite him, "What do you think is hasty?"
Zhang Fan said seriously, "Let's talk about Yu Junzhi, the former director of the Ministry of Education. He still has a disciplinary record. I'm afraid that others will not be convinced if I nominate him as the deputy mayor."
Lu Yiwei asked back, "Who is not convinced?"
Zhang Fan did not know how to answer. After a while, he said, "Anyway, someone has raised an objection. I'm just reminding you."
Lu Yiwei had already thought of what to say, "Yu Junzhi has made a mistake, but we can't erase his achievements. Long 'an's education got the first place in the city this year. This is the best proof. We can't kill him just because he made a mistake. You can nominate as many people as you want. I will explain the rest to the committee. "
Zhang Fan swallowed his anger and said, "Fine. Let's not talk about Yu Junzhi. Let's talk about Huang Xiaonian. He is the mayor of Yong Sheng Town, but he has never been a leader. He was suddenly promoted to the standing committee of the County party committee and the deputy mayor.
Lu Yiwei suppressed his anger and said, "Are you questioning me?"
"No, I just have an objection to the nominees."
Lu Yiwei replied, "I have reservations. I really want to bring it to the committee. You are the director of the organization, and you take orders from the County party committee. Every decision I make is not made casually, but after careful consideration. "
Zhang Fan was also angry. He was the director of the organization, but he had no say in the personnel adjustment. It was all up to him. If this was not centralization of power, then what was? He wanted to refute, but was stopped by Lu Yiwei, who said earnestly, "Director Zhang, you just arrived in Long 'an, so you may not be familiar with the situation here. I am not familiar with it either, but I came a few days earlier than you. The adjustment was made through a lot of interviews and research. Follow the list I provided and investigate as soon as possible, and bring it to the committee immediately after the announcement. "
Zhang Fan stood up and said, "Secretary Lu, I have always respected you, but I can't ignore the opinions of others. If that's the case, I'll report it to Minister Gong. "
Lu Yiwei looked at him with a dark expression. After a long time, he said, "You're welcome to speak truthfully, but don't distort the truth."
Zhang Fan left angrily. He felt that being the head of the organization was useless. In fact, he still didn't understand that no matter where he was, this position would always be taken over by the County party committee. If he had a good relationship with the Secretary of the County party committee, he might have some say. If not, he might just be a puppet.
Lu Yiwei was slowly withdrawing his power, concentrating all of it on himself. It was not that he was greedy for power, but that he had to do this if he wanted to succeed in his career. Once there were two factions, many things could not be carried out. He wanted to do as much as he could for Long An within the limited time he had. He was in a race against time. Every day he delayed meant that he would have one less day to stay here.
After Zhang Fan left, Qu Jiangping came in. As the number one and second in command of Long'an County, their conversation would determine the direction of many things.
Qu Jiangping sat down and said, "Secretary Lu, the date for the road construction is basically set. It's set for the 28th of this month. This is a historic moment. I suggest we hold a grand launch ceremony and invite the provincial and municipal leaders to join us. "
Lu Yiwei listened and said slowly, "I don't think it's necessary. This is not a new road, but a simple repair and widening. The amount of work is not big, and there's no need to make it big. Just a simple ceremony will do."
Qu Jiangping felt uncomfortable. After all, this was his first activity. He wanted to invite some media to come and promote it with great fanfare. He also wanted to appear on TV and newspapers. But he was rejected just like that. Furthermore, if it wasn't for him, this project would not be carried out so quickly. "Even if the amount of work is not big, we should publicize it. This is indeed a big event for Long'an County."
Lu Yiwei understood what he meant. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since you want to do it, then do it. But control the scope and scale. Don't be extravagant and waste money. Pay attention to the public."
"I will take care of this."
"Alright. Bring this up to the Standing Committee later."
Qu Jiangping continued. "There's one more thing. The County will need to bear 30% of the cost of the road repair. The initial estimate is about 16 million RMB."
"Didn't the County say no?"
"The other party did not agree. After all, this project is not included in the budget. Secretary Li went to the Transportation Department to fight for it. They can only transfer money from other projects to us. There's still a big gap in the budget, and we need to get the funds as soon as possible. "
Lu Yiwei reminded. "Mayor Qu, we are a poor county, and our economy is the second worst in the city. Every cent is hard to come by, and we must save as much as we can. We still have to support a large number of government employees, and this amount of money is enough to pay them a month's salary. Let's discuss this in the meeting. "
Qu Jiangping's face turned ugly. If the County Government objects to every proposal, then what's the point of him being the Mayor? He suppressed his anger and said. "Also, the road repair is the County Government's responsibility. It's not suitable to let Hu Zhixiong be in charge of this project."
"Oh, it's not suitable. But we don't have an Executive Deputy Mayor now. Let him help you. After we have an Executive Deputy Mayor, we will let the government take over. This involves a county-wide project, and we need to consider it as a whole. The County party committee is in charge of the general direction, and the specific implementation is still up to you. "
"Then I will personally supervise this project."
Lu Yiwei looked at him and said after a moment of silence. "Alright, then you will have to worry about it and finish it as soon as possible."
Qu Jiangping was afraid that Dong Sheng Group would steal his credit and said. "There's something I need to tell you. Dong Sheng Group will be participating in this project."
Lu Yiwei did not say anything and said after a long time. "This is your business. I don't care who is doing it, as long as it is done well."
He could not figure out the origin of Dong Sheng Group. If Li Moqun was behind this, he could not stop others from making money. Doing projects in China was a network of connections. He had a misconception that Li Moqun brought Qu Jiangping here because he was really capable, or was he here to make money? He did not know. He will never give in when it comes to matters of principle. But in this situation, it was fine to just let it go on the surface. There was no need to sour their relationship.
Qu Jiangping continued. "One more thing. I heard that you want to promote Huang Xiaonian to Executive Deputy Mayor?"
"Yes, I was about to tell you about this. Comrade Xiaonian is a good person, and I have high hopes for him. If you use him well, he can share a lot of your work."
"Oh, is this promotion appropriate?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I will report to Secretary Li."
