On the way back to the office, Zhu Zhihang went through the whole thing. Ceng Jianzhang and Wu Liqian didn't disclose this matter, and Wu Liqian had reported last night that the Standing Committee was going to hold a meeting today, so the possibility of the news being leaked through other channels was very low.
Liu Haojun not only got the news accurately, but also used his connections with the higher-ups. This also took time, which meant that the news was likely to have been leaked last night.
And it was very likely that it was leaked during his meeting!
Then the problem was simple.
Zhu Zhihang didn't mention this to anyone. He didn't even tell his wife and children when he went home last night. If someone could have heard this, there was only one possibility.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhihang's eyes became colder.
After he returned to his office, his secretary, Jin Yuan, came in with a folder. He bowed slightly and said, "County Magistrate, this is the document for circulation …"
Zhu Zhihang stared at Jin Yuan for two seconds, then said lightly, "Put it here!"
"Okay!" Jin Yuan put the document on the desk, then naturally took Zhu Zhihang's cup and prepared to refill it.
"Xiao Jin!" Zhu Zhihang stopped him, stared into his eyes and asked, "How long have you been working for me?"
Jin Yuan's eyes showed a trace of panic, but he forced himself to be calm and said, "County Magistrate, I was transferred here after the Spring Festival last year. It's been more than a year …"
"It's been more than a year!" Zhu Zhihang muttered to himself. "Time really flies! Okay, you can leave now! I don't want to drink water … "
"Okay, County Magistrate!" Jin Yuan said, then gently put down the cup and left the office.
Zhu Zhihang leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes tiredly. He said to himself, "It's been more than a year. Even a dog would be cooked by now! I didn't expect him to be such an ingrate … "
He was very clear about Jin Yuan's resume. This young man didn't have any background, and he got in based on his ability. A few years ago, he had been writing materials in the county government office. It could be said that he had done a lot of work, but he didn't have any opportunities to show his face.
This was also the portrayal of many grassroots civil servants.
It was Zhu Zhihang who had a discerning eye. After the previous secretary was demoted, Zhu Zhihang personally asked him to be the secretary. For an ordinary staff member, this was almost a meteoric rise.
Zhu Zhihang felt that even if he didn't owe Jin Yuan a debt of gratitude, he could at least be considered a talent scout.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Zhihang was heartbroken when he discovered that Jin Yuan had betrayed him.
He didn't need to question Jin Yuan at all. He already had the answer in his heart. The panic in Jin Yuan's eyes just now didn't escape his eyes, which further confirmed his judgment.
Zhu Zhihang tiredly leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to rest. After a full ten minutes, he picked up the phone on the desk and dialed an internal number.
"Director Shi, has the government selected the cadre that will be stationed in the village for this exchange?" Zhu Zhihang asked faintly.
On the other end of the phone, the director of the government office, Shi Qingyuan, said, "County Magistrate, the preliminary list has been finalized. I'm about to show it to you!"
Zhu Zhihang said, "Put Jin Yuan on this list. As for who to replace him with, you guys can decide for yourself … Once the list is finalized, report to me as soon as possible!"
Shi Qingyuan heard this and couldn't help but be shocked. Jin Yuan was Zhu Zhihang's secretary! The position of a village cadre wasn't a lucrative one. Even if they were to communicate with anyone else, it wouldn't be him! Besides, how long had Jin Yuan been in office? Generally speaking, for the stability and continuity of the work, the staff members around the leaders wouldn't be changed so frequently.
But Shi Qingyuan wasn't a rookie in the system. He knew when to ask and when to be confused. Zhu Zhihang had suddenly proposed to replace Jin Yuan, so there must be a reason. When he didn't understand the situation clearly, the best choice was naturally to not ask too much, and resolutely carry it out.
So, Shi Qingyuan quickly came back to his senses and said, "Okay, County Magistrate! I'll arrange it right away … "
Then, Shi Qingyuan couldn't help but ask, "County Magistrate, the candidate for your secretary …"
It was easy to replace Jin Yuan, but it wasn't so easy to assign a new secretary to Zhu Zhihang.
Zhu Zhihang said dully, "First, transfer someone from the government office to temporarily fill in! We'll talk about the secretary later … Oh yeah, you go and talk to Jin Yuan. I won't be there. Before tomorrow's work, ask him to hand over the work clearly! "
"Okay, County Magistrate!" Shi Qingyuan quickly replied.
…
While Zhu Zhihang was cleaning up the mole, Wu Liqian came to Secretary Zeng Jianzhang's office.
"Secretary Zeng!" Wu Liqian greeted weakly.
Zeng Jianzhang stood up very enthusiastically and said with a smile, "Comrade Liqian is here! Sit here, sit here … "
He personally led Wu Liqian to the reception area of the office, then raised his voice and said, "Xiao Yang, pour a cup of water for County Magistrate Wu!"
Secretary Xiao Yang quickly brought a cup of tea over. After Xiao Yang left the office, Zeng Jianzhang said with a face full of smiles, "Comrade Liqian, today I wanted to talk to you about the Taoyuan Company project. County Magistrate Zhu and I both know that this project was facilitated by you. You were the one who contacted us in the early stages. Today, I handed this project over to Secretary Liu. I know that you might not be able to figure it out …"
"Secretary Zeng, there's nothing that I can't figure out. I'll follow the organization's decision!" Wu Liqian said calmly.
Although she wasn't angry, Wu Liqian's attitude clearly showed her dissatisfaction.
Zeng Jianzhang smiled and said, "It's normal that you can't figure it out! It would be abnormal if you could figure it out! If something similar happened to me, I definitely wouldn't be able to figure it out! "
Wu Liqian looked at Zeng Jianzhang quietly and didn't say anything. She just waited for him to continue.
Zeng Jianzhang continued, "Comrade Liqian, even if you can't figure it out, as a party leader, I still hope that you can look at the big picture. In the current situation, what is the big picture? I think that for our Changping County, the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory project is the current big picture. No matter how wronged we are, we can't affect this big picture … "
Wu Liqian immediately understood Zeng Jianzhang's intentions. She frowned and said, "Secretary Zeng, you should know my personality. Public is public, private is private. I definitely won't do things like undermine others behind their backs. However, since Secretary Zeng has said this, I'll also make my stand clear. I definitely won't drag the Taoyuan Pharmaceutical Factory project down. I can guarantee it with my party spirit! "
Zeng Jianzhang let out a sigh of relief. In fact, this was what he was most worried about — if Wu Liqian could facilitate such a project, it meant that she at least had good communication with the Taoyuan Company. He was afraid that the peach that was about to ripen would be picked by Liu Haojun. Wu Liqian would be angry and fight to the death. She would rather the project fall through than let Liu Haojun gain political credit for nothing.
Although Zeng Jianzhang maintained a neutral position most of the time in the dispute between Wu Liqian and Liu Haojun, he didn't want to see the project fall through because of the two's personal grudges and affect the interests of Changping County.
That was why he immediately called Wu Liqian over to appease her after the Standing Committee meeting.
Zeng Jianzhang waved his hand and said, "You're exaggerating! You're exaggerating! Comrade Liqian, I know you quite well. You've always been a leader with a strong sense of the big picture. You're righteous and clean. You don't want to do things like seek personal gain! "
Wu Liqian said neither humbly nor overbearingly, "Thank you for your compliment, Secretary Zeng …"
It would be a lie to say that she didn't have any resentment in her heart. Wu Liqian naturally didn't have a good impression of Zeng Jianzhang, who had directly decided on the Standing Committee and handed the project over to Liu Haojun. Therefore, her attitude was a bit cold.
Zeng Jianzhang also noticed it. He sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Comrade Liqian, I had my reasons for directly handing the project over to Secretary Liu at the Standing Committee meeting today … I hope you can understand that many things aren't decided by me as the Secretary. What I can tell you is that when County Head Zhu reported to me last night, the two of us reached a consensus. I hope you can follow this project to the end. County Head Zhu can also prove this point … "
In the officialdom, people usually didn't talk too much. That was the only way to have room for negotiation. Zeng Jianzhang's words were almost clear and his attitude could be said to be very sincere.
Wu Liqian said, "Secretary Zeng, you don't have to explain so much to me. Please rest assured that I won't bring my emotions to work. Also, I'm happy to see the Taoyuan Company's project go smoothly. As for whether or not I'm in charge, it's actually not important."
Wu Liqian's words really came from the bottom of her heart. There was no pretense at all.
In fact, when Wu Liqian heard that the project had been taken over by Liu Haojun at the Standing Committee meeting, for a moment, she really had the impulse to immediately call Xia Ruofei and pressure Changping County through Xia Ruofei. However, she quickly calmed down.
Not only was this project very important to Changping County, but it was also very important to Xia Ruofei and the Taoyuan Company. If the pharmaceutical project could be introduced with the preferential policies finalized by the Standing Committee, it would definitely be a great benefit for the Taoyuan Company. She felt that she couldn't ruin this for personal reasons.
In addition, if the Taoyuan Company's project was settled in Changping County, there would be a lot of opportunities for the Taoyuan Company to interact with the county in the future. Wu Liqian didn't want Xia Ruofei to ruin his relationship with the county because of her. This could be very detrimental to the Taoyuan Company in the future.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Wu Liqian decided not to tell Xia Ruofei and to let the project be finalized as soon as possible.
In Zeng Jianzhang's ears, these words weren't so credible. Even a clay figurine had some anger. Liu Haojun's table manners were very ugly. Wu Liqian wasn't an otherworldly fairy. How could she be so arrogant?
But no matter what, Wu Liqian's attitude was very political. He couldn't find any fault with it.
Zeng Jianzhang muttered to himself and said, "Comrade Liqian, thank you very much for your understanding! I hope that you won't be affected by this matter. Work hard as usual and continue to contribute to the development of Changping County! In addition, the county government may make some adjustments to the division of labor between the deputy county magistrates. County Magistrate Zhu also recognizes your work ability. You have to be mentally prepared to take on more responsibilities! "
There were many things that couldn't be solved by just talking. Zeng Jianzhang had always believed in this.
This time, Wu Liqian had clearly suffered a great loss. In order to appease Wu Liqian, those high-sounding words naturally wouldn't be of any use. Zeng Jianzhang felt that in the end, it all came down to the distribution of benefits. Since you suffered a loss here, then I'll make it up to you in other ways!
Although Wu Liqian, as the executive deputy county magistrate, was in charge of a more important area, there were still some important departments that the other deputy county magistrates were in charge of. This time, Zeng Jianzhang and Zhu Zhihang came to an agreement to make some adjustments to the division of labor between the deputy county magistrates. A few more important departments would be given to Wu Liqian.
To put it bluntly, it was to find a balance.
After hearing this, Wu Liqian didn't show any particularly happy expression. She just said lightly, "I'll follow the organization's arrangements. I also want to thank Secretary Zeng and County Magistrate Zhu for trusting me …"
This kind of attitude could only be said to be moderate, but Zeng Jianzhang was already very satisfied. He said with a smile, "For a young and promising cadre like you, we should give you more responsibilities. Only in this way can you quickly mature!"
"Thank you for your encouragement, Secretary Zeng!" Wu Liqian said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Then she asked, "Secretary Zeng, do you have any other instructions?"
Zeng Jianzhang quickly said, "No … Comrade Liqian, you can go back to work!"
"Then I'll go back to the government first." Wu Liqian stood up and said, "Goodbye, Secretary Zeng!"
Zeng Jianzhang personally walked Wu Liqian to the door of the office. Then he secretly let out a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, he had done a good job of appeasing Wu Liqian.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Soon, the matter of the standing committee was spread in the county committee and the county government. Everyone looked at Wu Liqian a little differently. Some secretly felt sorry, some gloated, and some didn't care about it …
Wu Liqian ignored everyone's gaze. After returning to the government office building, she went straight to her office.
After sitting down, she took out her mobile phone and called Xia Ruofei.
"Sister Qian! Do you have any good news for me? "Xia Ruofei asked with a smile after answering the phone.
Wu Liqian smiled and said, "I just finished the meeting of the standing committee. The county government has already made a decision on the pharmaceutical factory project. They agree to the land acquisition plan proposed by you, and they will give you a certain discount in terms of land transfer fees. In addition, the county government has also taken the initiative to propose a series of preferential policies, including tax exemption. The county still values your company very much! "
"I knew it was good news!" Xia Ruofei said happily, "Thank you, Sister Qian!"
"Don't thank me. I didn't help much!" Wu Liqian smiled and said, "The main thing is that your project is too attractive. Ruofei, I still have something to do here, so I can't talk to you anymore. There should be someone who will contact you soon to discuss some specific details … "
