The selection of the deputy county magistrate of Nanyang County did not stop because of Lu Yiwei's troubles. Instead, it became more and more intense. Several candidates exerted all their skills and launched a life-and-death struggle.
According to the rules, the third round entered the secret voting of the party representatives and the personal representatives, and four were eliminated. This was completely different from the civil service examination. It not only increased the difficulty, but also indirectly provided space for the candidates to play freely.
This segment was more of a democratic process. Every party representative and the personal representative had a sacred vote in their hands, and it was up to them to vote for whoever they wanted. But was it really so?
From the cumulative scores of the last two rounds, Dong Guoping, the director of the County party committee, topped the list with an absolute score. Gao Bowen, the director of the Bureau of Safety Supervision, made a counterattack in the voting of the Standing Committee and suddenly jumped to the second place, becoming the biggest dark horse of the deputy county magistrate candidates. Xu Wannian was relatively stable and temporarily ranked third. Xiao Yang was ranked fourth, followed by Xu Qingshan and Wen Guoliang. Their scores were far behind the first place.
The third round still used the point system, which was quantified according to the number of votes and accumulated to the original score. In this way, it was very difficult to make a counterattack.
Take Xu Qingshan for example, his score was less than 100 points, more than 30 points behind Dong Guoping. Even if he tried to catch up, he could not surpass Dong Guoping unless a miracle happened. Xu Qingshan had given up, but his friend Zhao Dongsheng cheered him on and analyzed the situation with the list in his hand.
Zhao Dongsheng looked at the depressed Xu Qingshan and said, "Old Xu, how can you compare with Dong Guoping and ignore the rest of the candidates?"
Xu Qingshan leaned on the sofa and said weakly, "Even if I don't compare with Dong Guoping, I can't compete with the others. Gao Bowen and Xu Wannian are both masters of public relations. They have connections and funds. But I just came from a small town. I have neither connections nor money. How can I compete with them? As for Xiao Yang, I heard that Secretary Zhang is very optimistic about him. In the voting of the Standing Committee, several standing committee members voted for him. Can my arm twist his leg? Look at Wen Guoliang. We are both township cadres, and we are evenly matched. It is estimated that we will be eliminated this time. Forget it, forget it. If I have the strength, I might as well enjoy myself. I will voluntarily quit. "
The Deputy Secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhao Dongsheng, and Xu Qingshan were both suppressed during Liu Kecheng's era. Zhao Dongsheng was not qualified this time, but Xu Qingshan was. Of course, he hoped that Xu Qingshan could succeed, which was also good for him. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the person involved. Xu Qingshan could not see the trick behind it, but Zhao Dongsheng could see the clues.
Zhao Dongsheng said, "Old Xu, you're right. Putting Dong Guoping aside, let's focus on the remaining people. "Dong," Zhao and Zhang said, "Dong, Magistrate. Xu, Zhang. Gao Magistrate, Gao, Gao Gao, Gao, "Gao, Magistrate," County, Not. "Zhang" s and "Zhang," Magistrate, "Xu said." Magistrate., I. "Lu" and "Zhang". "They." If the two of them fight, one side will definitely lose. Who will win then? "
Xu Qingshan slowly sat up from the sofa, listening to Zhao Dongsheng's analysis.
Zhao Dongsheng continued, "You know, this time, the two representatives must have more than half of the votes. If they are equal in power, the result will be less than half. What does it mean? Neither of them can be promoted smoothly. If you can benefit from it, it will be the best of both worlds. "
Xu Qingshan was shocked by Zhao Dongsheng's careful thinking. He did not consider this at all, "Zhao, are you sure they will fight?"
Zhao Dongsheng smiled mysteriously, "Based on my understanding of them, do you think they won't?"
"What if they won't?"
Zhao Dongsheng said, "Next, let's talk about my plan. The current situation is very unfavorable for you and Wen Guoliang. If you are not careful, it will be you two who will be eliminated. But you can't sit still and wait for death. You must take the initiative to have a glimmer of hope. In my opinion, you two must unite to fight against Gao Bowen and Xu Wannian. "
"Unite? Are you kidding? "Xu Qingshan did not understand Zhao Dongsheng's plan.
Zhao Dongsheng showed a sinister smile, "As I said, less than half of the votes will be invalid. You two have a unique resource in your hands, the grassroots party representatives and the people's representatives. This group is quite large. If you can hold on to this part, even if you can't pass half, they won't be able to pass half. Do you understand? "
Xu Qingshan's eyes widened, "This is your strategy?"
Zhao Dongsheng said, "At this time, don't think about which means is noble and which is despicable. As long as you achieve your goal."
"What should we do if we can't pass half?" Xu Qingshan asked.
Zhao Dongsheng chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you to join forces with Wen Guoliang? Let's get rid of Xiao Yang first."
The more Xu Qingshan listened, the more confused he became. "Old Zhao, what kind of stupid idea is this? Why can't I understand?"
Zhao Dongsheng's face suddenly changed, "Although Secretary Zhang supports Xiao Yang, this guy came out of nowhere, so he must not have a strong support among the people. Even if the people above use their power to pressure, the votes are in the hands of others. Secretary Zhang can't bribe the election. It's absolutely impossible. Not only do you want to kill Xiao Yang, but the others will also do the same. Once you succeed, you can turn around and kill Wen Guoliang! "
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan almost rolled off the sofa. He did not expect Zhao Dongsheng to be so black-bellied. What he did was too despicable. But thinking of the tempting position of deputy county magistrate, Xu Qingshan was tempted.
Zhao Dongsheng far underestimated the ability of Xu Wannian and Gao Bowen, so they also gathered together to discuss countermeasures. However, they had a high degree of agreement on one point, that was, Dong Guoping must enter, and Xiao Yang must be eliminated.
Xu Wannian said, "Bowen, the next round is six to four. Although we can't avoid fighting each other, we must cooperate in this round. Let's push Xu Qingshan out first. What do you think?"
Gao Bowen thought very quickly and said, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Wannian said, "During the event, we are tied together. If you are there, I will be there. What do you think?"
Gao Bowen rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Well, I think it's a good idea."
"Then it's settled. Let's do it!"
"It's a deal."
However, this alliance was only maintained on the surface, and they had their own plans in private. Gao Bowen thought that his strength was equal to Xu Wannian's. Even if they entered this round together, what about the next round? Maybe he would be dragged into the water. Therefore, in this round, they must push Xu Wannian out and pull him into the water, so that they could have a chance of winning in the final sprint.
Gao Bowen thought so, so did Xu Wannian. As soon as he formed an "alliance" with Gao Bowen, he immediately contacted Wen Guoliang.
Wen Guoliang was the weakest among the candidates. He had neither the support of his superiors nor a huge network, so he gave up as soon as the result came out. He gave up, but someone didn't. As soon as Xu Qingshan left, Xu Wannian came again.
Xu Wannian didn't bother with pleasantries and said directly, "Old Wen, I don't want to say so many high-sounding words to you. You have seen this election, and you are in a very awkward situation. I don't want to discourage you, but you can't compete with me. But at this time, I need your help, brother. "
Although Xu Wannian was telling the truth, his words were not pleasant to hear. Wen Guoliang forced a smile and said, "How do you want me to help, Director Xu?"
"Let's enter together. What do you think?"
Just now Xu Qingshan said that the two of them would join forces to deal with them. Now Xu Wannian wanted him to enter together, which was far more tempting than Xu Qingshan. He said, "How do we enter together?"
Xu Wannian said, "You don't have to worry about it. I will do it. But when you do it in private, you can fill in the ticket with you and me. What do you think? "
Wen Guoliang knew that Xu Wannian was up to no good, but if he could really enter the next round, why not? He thought again and again and agreed to form an "alliance" with Xu Wannian.
As soon as Xu Wannian left, Gao Bowen also came to Wen Guoliang's house. This time, Gao Bowen directly asked Wen Guoliang to give up the election and let him do it for him. Wen Guoliang was not a fool, so he sneered and said, "Why should I do it for you?"
Gao Bowen said, "Old Wen, I will tell you the truth. You won't be elected this time, so it's better to help you. But I won't let you do it for nothing. If I succeed, I will reserve the position of director of the State Security Bureau for you. "
The temptation was also very strong. What Gao Bowen said was also reasonable. It was not bad to get the position of director of the State Security Bureau even if he could not be elected. But could Gao Bowen's words be trusted?
Seeing that Wen Guoliang was hesitating, Gao Bowen dispelled his concerns and said, "I have already talked to County Yang about this. If you don't believe me, we can meet County Yang another day and finalize this matter. What do you think?"
Wen Guoliang was a realist. He knew that Xu Wannian gave him an empty promise, which was far less practical than Gao Bowen. So, he changed sides for the third time in a short time and formed an "alliance" with Gao Bowen.
But was this "alliance" really solid? He could not trust anyone until he went to the battlefield. So, except for Dong Guoping and Xiao Yang, the other four people formed an "alliance" with each other.
But in private, they had their own ideas and tried their best to make the last sprint before reaching the top.
In the first stage, all parties competed with each other's connections. As the election approached, they began to use their own skills to canvass votes.
