The Standing Committee was convened on time. Due to the special topic of the meeting, it was expanded to four sets of team leaders. With the attendance of the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department, today's meeting was particularly solemn. No one whispered to each other. Other than the sound of chairs moving and coughing, it was dead silent.
At the oval conference table, the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department sat in the center. The members of the Standing Committee who were at home were seated according to their ranks. The Chairman of the National People's Congress and the Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference were also seated at the conference table. The other Deputy Directors, Deputy County Heads, Deputy Chairmen, and members of the Standing Committee were holding notebooks and sitting on chairs against the wall.
This should be the highest-profile Standing Committee meeting this year. The discussion was not on how to study and deploy the development of Nanyang County, but on Zhang Zhiyuan's promotion decision. Everyone had their own plans. Zhang Zhiyuan's departure was related to everyone's fate.
The meeting was presided over by the Executive Deputy Minister of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department. He said, "With the approval of the main leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, the Municipal Party Committee has decided to hold a special meeting today to conduct an organizational inspection and evaluation of Comrade Zhang Zhiyuan. There are three items on the agenda. The first item is Comrade Zhang Zhiyuan's term report. The second item is an important speech by Director Li of the Third Cadre Department of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department. The third item is an evaluation. Next, let's move on to the first item … "
Zhang Zhiyuan slowly stood up and looked around with a gentle gaze. Then, he took out a report that he had drafted last night from his pocket. Before he opened his mouth, his eyes were a little moist. He had been in Nanyang County for more than two years. Whether it was fighting alone or being surrounded by angry enemies, he felt a little reluctant to say goodbye.
"Director Li, Comrades. More than two years ago, I came to this land with a fervent and sincere heart. Together with my comrades, I devoted myself to the development of Nanyang with the determination and perseverance to change Nanyang into a new look. Over the past two years, every blade of grass, every tree, every street and alley in Nanyang has been deeply engraved in my mind … Under the strong leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government, and with the support and cooperation of comrades from all fronts, we have implemented a crackdown on illegal mining, carried out the restructuring of enterprises, and achieved a revenue of over a hundred million yuan … There are achievements, but there are naturally shortcomings. The idea of the three major industrial parks has not been completed yet, and the construction of the city has not started yet. I am ashamed to face the people of Nanyang, and I am ashamed to face the love that the organization has shown me. I hope that everyone will continue to fulfill their mission in the future. There is a cycle in human affairs, and the past and present have become the present. This time, the higher-ups want to transfer me to a new position. I'm in awe and tread on thin ice. No matter what position I go to, I will never forget this land. I will always remember it … "
Zhang Zhiyuan's speech was full of emotion and his attitude was objective. It swept away the feelings of the comrades in the past. They were touched and involuntarily applauded. Looking at the 'comrades' who had helped each other through thick and thin in the past, Zhang Zhiyuan was so moved that he did something unbelievable. He walked to the side and bowed deeply to everyone.
There was a complicated expression on everyone's face. Yang Derong pursed his lips and looked at Zhang Zhiyuan. The look in his eyes was much gentler than before. He was thinking that there was not much conflict between the two of them. It was just a conflict of thinking about work. In the past, he had been eager for Zhang Zhiyuan to leave, but when it was really time to leave, he actually felt a little reluctant. Zhang Zhiyuan was knowledgeable and had a broad mind. It was undeniable that if he and Zhang Zhiyuan had worked together, perhaps Nanyang would have undergone earth-shaking changes. But he only obstructed them for his own personal interests. He really shouldn't have. Would Zhang Zhiyuan's departure really benefit him?
Ma Feifei, the deputy secretary of the County party committee, had tears in her eyes. She was deeply moved by Zhang Zhiyuan's speech. Yan Dongsen, the head of the organization department, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. His face was faintly covered with dark clouds. He envied Zhang Zhiyuan, who was promoted to a new position in just two years. Yan Dongsen had been in Nanyang for nearly ten years. Ten years was very important to a person's political life. But what could he do?
Xu Qingshan, the deputy head of the county, had been constantly observing Lu Yiwei's actions. To him, the fates of these two people were linked. It was Zhang Zhiyuan who went to Beihe Town to bring him to the county and promoted him step by step to the deputy director. With this departure, Lu Yiwei was once again faced with a dilemma. Could he change it? Director Li and the others in the province were expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with them. They sat there as steady as a mountain.
It was just an inspection, but the atmosphere was so intense. It was Director Li's turn to speak. He patted the microphone and said, "Comrades, Comrade Zhiyuan spoke very well just now. Judging from everyone's expressions and applause, they are quite satisfied with Comrade Zhiyuan's performance. I was entrusted by Minister Zhao of the Organization Department to conduct an inspection and evaluation of Comrade Zhang Zhiyuan today. I won't say anything else. Now, distribute the evaluation forms. "
Zhang Zhiyuan's voice was full of emotion. Director Li, on the other hand, only said a few words. He only said that he was inspecting Zhang Zhiyuan and did not say anything else, nor did he mention a transfer.
It was very easy to fill in the evaluation form. Of course, there were also comments and comments at the bottom. Almost no one filled in the form, and it was all over in less than ten minutes. After the inspection, Director Li and his team declined Zhang Zhiyuan's repeated requests to stay. They took the evaluation forms and left Nanyang County in a hurry.
When Zhang Zhiyuan returned to his office, Yang Derong came in. He cupped his fists and smiled. "Congratulations, Brother Zhiyuan."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and threw a cigarette at him, "What's there to congratulate? I might as well stay in Nanyang instead of working as a waiter in the province."
Yang Derong sat on the sofa and said, "What's wrong with being a waiter? It depends on who I'm serving. I'm old, and if I were a few years younger, I would be happy too. Zhiyuan, I really envy you. "
Zhang Zhiyuan did not know the meaning behind Yang Derong's words and said, "What's there to envy? You can be the king of the mountains at the grassroots level. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and you have a lot of freedom. What's the difference between you and a normal worker in the stifling machinery building? What's more, you'll be doing hard labor there. "
Zhang Zhiyuan was being polite, but Yang Derong did not ask for a rebuff. He changed the topic and said, "Have you decided? Which department? "
Yang Derong's question had a reason. Although Zhang Zhiyuan had decided to go to the Provincial Enterprise Reform Office, it was a temporary organization. Once his duties were completed, he would be disbanded. Moreover, most of the people were temporarily transferred from other units, so they had an affiliated unit. The leader of the enterprise reform team was Huang Jiyang, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. There was an enterprise reform office under the leadership of Luo Zhongyuan, the secretary general of the Provincial Party Committee. Naturally, it would be affiliated to the general office of the Provincial Party Committee, but everything was still unknown.
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "The details are not confirmed yet. Let's leave it to fate."
Yang Derong thought that Zhang Zhiyuan did not want to tell the truth, so he said, "Zhiyuan, although we haven't known each other for a long time, my heart feels empty after you leave. I'm a little reluctant to let you go. However, I want to go out more. After all, it's related to your future. Don't worry, no matter who becomes the secretary of the County Party Committee in the future, I will not change your development strategy of 'Four Promotions'. I will carry it out as usual. If there's anything wrong, I hope you can correct me. "
Zhang Zhiyuan was surprised that Yang Derong could put down his pride and say these words. He said, "If I leave Nanyang County, everything will be in the hands of the next leader. After all, everyone has different ideas, but the goal is the same. We all want to change the development of Nanyang County. My ability is limited, and I can't make a qualitative leap in Nanyang's economy. I hope that under your leadership, we can fight to get rid of the hat of poverty. Here, I'll leave it to you. "
"Don't worry about it, this is what I should do." Yang Derong sighed and said, "Zhiyuan, I have a lot of shortcomings. I always think that I have worked at the grassroots level for many years, so I have rich experience and high qualifications. I often put on airs and even oppose you. Now that I think about it, I'm so ignorant and boring. It's too late to say anything now. I sincerely wish you success in your career. "
By this time, all the branches and vines had vanished into thin air. Zhang Zhiyuan said gently, "Old Yang, don't say that. In front of you, I'll always be a primary school student. When it comes to grassroots work, this is my shortcoming. I really don't have as much experience as you. If I had asked for your opinion before making every decision, maybe I would have taken a lot less detours. For example, when I was selecting a deputy for you, I didn't communicate with you in advance, and it caused a lot of unpleasantness. "
"Hehe, it's all in the past. Don't mention it again." Yang Derong smoked a little too hard, choking and coughing. Because he used too much force, his eyes overflowed with tears. This was really appropriate for the occasion.
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Yang Derong silently, sat up, took out a tissue from the box, and handed it to him. Seeing this, Yang Derong quickly waved his hand and said, "People are useless when they get old. Smoking a cigarette makes them choke. In another two years, won't they cough out their lungs? Haha. "
Zhang Zhiyuan pursed his lips and smiled, "How old are you? Don't say such discouraging words, you still have a lot of good time."
"Sigh!" Yang Derong's expression became gloomy, and said, "I'm 54 years old this year. If there's a new term next year, I can only serve one term at most. What good time do I have? There are only a few years left, unlike you. This time, you've come to the province, and you're with Secretary Huang. In a few years, you'll be a high-ranking official. "
Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Yang Derong's face, which was getting older by the day, and was silent for a long time. He was right. Yang Derong's political career would end in only six years, and it would be very short. If that was the case, some of his extreme actions in the past were excusable.
