During the meeting.
Li Niu also sided with Dong Xuebing.
The County's United Front Work Department Head might not have a lot of power and does not have much say in the Standing Committee, but he still has one vote. Every vote is crucial to Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang. Including Zhang Dongfang's five votes, Zhang Dongfang's side will definitely win. If they can get one more vote or get someone to give up, they will win against Dong Xuebing. But what about Dong Xuebing's side? Dong Xuebing and Meng Hanmei are the only ones he is sure about. Luckily, Chang Lin, Wang Binhe, and Li Niu are on Dong Xuebing's side. Dong Xuebing is not sure about the rest. Luckily, Chang Lin, Wang Binhe, and Li Niu are on Dong Xuebing's side.
Five to five!
Both sides are tied!
Among the 11 members of the County's Party Committee, only the Publicity Department's Head, Sun Zhangzhi, did not pick a side. According to the ranking of the Standing Committee, Sun Zhangzhi should be speaking in front of Li Niugeng. He should even be ranked before the Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee. But now, he is speaking behind Li Niugeng, who is the last in the Standing Committee.
Dong Xuebing does not know much about Sun Zhangzhi. He only knows Sun Zhangzhi from the time he arrived at Jiaolin County Police Station, and Sun Zhangzhi had gone to the station to welcome him. But Dong Xuebing did not meet Sun Zhangzhi. In the end, Dong Xuebing only met Sun Zhangzhi after he got promoted. They did not speak much during meals, and Dong Xuebing felt Sun Zhangzhi was not reliable.
Dong Xuebing is not sure about this, but the others know Sun Zhangzhi very well. After all, they had worked together for many years, and their overall evaluation of him is about the same as Dong Xuebing. Maybe it is because of Sun Zhangzhi's character. After he took over the County's Party Committee's Publicity Department, he had been indecisive. Although he had supported Li Guian for the past two years, he did not show any support to Li Guian. Just like Li Niu, he did not fall out with Zhang Dongfang during the Party Committee meetings or in private. He is a good person, but he is also a two-faced person. That's why Li Guian did not think much of Sun Zhangzhi. Although Sun Zhangzhi and Li Guian are on the same side in terms of politics, they are not close.
This gave Zhang Dongfang an opportunity. At this time, he looked at Sun Zhangzhi again. Zhang Dongfang knew that success or failure depended on this one move, because only Sun Zhangzhi, the last member of the Standing Committee of the County Committee, had not voted yet. He was also looking forward to it, and his expression naturally showed it.
Meng Hanmei looked at Sun Zhangzhi.
Chang Lin also glanced at Sun Zhangzhi.
The situation is getting more and more tense, and no one knows what will happen.
But many people know Zhang Dongfang had spoken to Li Niu and Sun Zhangzhi more than once after Li Guian was transferred and before Dong Xuebing took over. Li Niu is on Dong Xuebing's side, and there's no need to say more. But Zhang Dongfang and Zhang Dongfang's men still think Sun Zhangzhi has a high chance of winning over. This is because Li Niu is a stubborn and emotional person. He does not care about what others think and will only listen to his own judgment. Zhang Dongfang had tried to win over Sun Zhangzhi, but he did not win over Sun Zhangzhi.
Although Sun Zhangzhi had become a neutral leader after Li Niu's transfer, the difference between him and Li Niu is that Sun Zhangzhi does not have his own opinions and is too cautious. This is Zhang Dongfang's breakthrough point. He had spoken to Sun Zhangzhi privately. Although he did not expect Dong Xuebing to call for a Party Committee meeting so soon and force everyone to pick a side, he had promised Sun Zhangzhi to 'welcome' Dong Xuebing's arrival. Although Dong Xuebing's sudden attack had caught Zhang Dongfang off guard, Zhang Dongfang felt he had prepared well. At least, he is better than Dong Xuebing, who had just arrived and had not interacted with anyone.
Zhang Dongfang felt he had won.
Based on Sun Zhangzhi's character, there is a high chance he will win Sun Zhangzhi over to his side. His chances are higher than Dong Xuebing, who is in his twenties. If Sun Zhangzhi sided with Dong Xuebing, Zhang Dongfang will have the upper hand in this fight against Dong Xuebing. No matter what Dong Xuebing does, he will not be able to change the outcome. Six votes against five. What else is there to say? With the upper hand, Zhang Dongfang is prepared to kick Dong Xuebing aside in the future. In fact, he should thank Dong Xuebing for his ambush. Now that it had come to this, it was time to arm wrestle to see who was stronger. Zhang Dongfang still felt that he had a big advantage.
Sun Zhangzhi suddenly became the center of attention.
Sun Zhangzhi is also not used to it. He did not look at anyone and was struggling in his heart. Actually, he is the same as Li Niu. He had not made up his mind from the start and thought this decision will be made after Dong Xuebing becomes the County's Mayor. That's why Sun Zhangzhi did not make a decision and wanted to see the situation in the County first. If Zhang Dongfang cannot win against Dong Xuebing, then Sun Zhangzhi will stand with Dong Xuebing. If Dong Xuebing is as young as him and cannot win against Mayor Zhang, then Sun Zhangzhi will stand with Zhang Dongfang. But he did not expect Dong Xuebing to do this. Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang are forcing him to pick a side immediately. Sun Zhangzhi did not even think about it, and how can he pick a side?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What should he do?
Which side should he side with?
Sun Zhangzhi was having a headache, and he could tell Zhang Dongfang, Dong Xuebing, and the rest did not give him much time to consider. Everyone knew him. Sun Zhangzhi was a very indecisive person. Usually, when a slightly controversial draft was submitted to him for approval, Sun Zhangzhi, as the head of the Publicity Department, would hesitate and weigh it for a long time. He might even have to seek the opinions of his superiors. Not to mention this time, it was a matter of which side to stand on. It was related to his future development and various jobs. He had to be cautious.
Side with Zhang Dongfang?
Even though Zhang Dongfang had communicated with him two days ago and talked a lot about him, Sun Zhangzhi felt that he was, after all, on the old Secretary's side. He was much worse than the other people who stood by Zhang Dongfang's side as soon as they met. The degree of importance he would receive in the future would probably be different. Of course, he felt nervous.
Side with Dong Xuebing?
Dong Xuebing is a newly appointed Party Secretary and does not have any connections. He is also very young and is not even 27 years old. For him to reach this position at this age, he must have some background. But Sun Zhangzhi does not know about Dong Xuebing's background in other places. He only knows this is Shanbei Province, and the City Government had sent an Executive Deputy Minister to escort Dong Xuebing here. This means the City Government does not think highly of Dong Xuebing. Even if the City Government does not think highly of Dong Xuebing, they should at least send the Head of the Organization Department to send Dong Xuebing over. Even if they do not think highly of Dong Xuebing, they should at least send the Head of the Organization Department to send Dong Xuebing over. Dong Xuebing is inexperienced, young, and does not have the support of the Provincial Government.
Anyway, everyone has their concerns.
Sun Zhangzhi is in a dilemma.
Chang Lin and Sun Zhangzhi are close, and he looks at Sun Zhangzhi. He seems to be hoping Sun Zhangzhi will side with Dong Xuebing.
Sun Zhangzhi pretended not to see Chang Lin and is still hesitating.
One second …
Three seconds …
Five seconds …
Everyone is waiting for Sun Zhangzhi to speak.
Zhang Dongfang looks at Dong Xuebing. "Old Sun? You are the only one left, right? "
Sun Zhangzhi looked over and met Zhang Dongfang's eyes. He could see the emotions in Zhang Dongfang's eyes, and he felt pressured.
Dong Xuebing only needs one vote.
All the leaders in the County will be very concerned about this vote. This vote will decide the future of Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang as the County's Party Secretary and County's Mayor. The higher-ups are standing by the side, and the lower-level leaders are also standing by the side. Who doesn't want to follow a leader who can go further in Jiaolin County? This will also be beneficial to the leaders' development. That's why a series of virtuous and vicious cycles will start, and the leaders will also choose sides.
"I …" Sun Zhangzhi paused for a while and finally spoke.
Meng Hanmei is very nervous. She knows how important this Party Committee meeting is to Dong Xuebing, and it is a big gamble for Dong Xuebing.
Chang Lin and the other two members of the County's Party Committee felt the same. Since they had chosen to side with Dong Xuebing, there is no turning back. All of them hope Dong Xuebing can win, and Sun Zhangzhi's vote will play a key role.
Who should they choose?
Everyone is waiting!
Zhang Dongfang looks at his watch. It's getting late, and it's almost lunch break. He turned to Sun Zhangzhi and asked. "Old Sun?"
Zhang Dongfang is trying to pressure Dong Xuebing.
Sun Zhangzhi gritted his teeth and said. "I … I support Mayor Zhang's suggestion!" After he finished speaking, his entire body relaxed. Now that he had spoken, the burden on his body had also been lifted.
Good job!
Zhang Dongfang laughed in his heart.
Zhang Dongfang's men heard this and clenched their fists. Dong Xuebing won! This is the first time Dong Xuebing won against the County's Party Secretary! All of them were very emotional!
This is because it means a lot!
