During the meeting.
Dong Xuebing had decided on the appointment proposal, and this is the most important issue today. But this is not the only discussion. There must be other issues, such as the renovation of the old County Party Committee Compound. Dong Xuebing had decided on this and handed it over to Meng Hanmei's Party Committee Office to start immediately. As for the lack of funds, Meng Hanmei can pay the construction company first and figure out the rest later. The new County Party Committee Compound had been demolished, and the renovation of the old County Party Committee Compound is not part of their plans.
One …
Two …
Three …
All the issues were discussed.
This time, Dong Xuebing had the upper hand in this meeting. Zhang Dongfang and Zhang Department's side only agreed to some of the proposals, and they did not object to it. If Zhang Dongfang thinks he has a chance, he will not be so silent. Zhang Dongfang should know Dong Xuebing is very popular now, and this is not the right time. That's why he and his people did not object to Dong Xuebing's proposals. This is because Dong Xuebing's reputation is at its peak, and the timing is not good.

Dong Xuebing can understand what they are thinking and is satisfied. This incident might be a blessing in disguise. If Dong Xuebing had followed the normal path, he might need a long time to show his authority as the County's Party Committee's County Chief. After all, he is still young, and he is facing veterans who had worked in Jiaolin County for decades. But now, Dong Xuebing had changed the situation, and he is leaning towards him. This is what Dong Xuebing wants.
The County's situation had calmed down.
This could also be considered the preliminary result of the two factions getting used to each other.
After the meeting ended, Dong Xuebing walked over to Zhang Dongfang and chatted with him.
"Mayor Zhang, are you alright?"
"I was just tired from the rain. I'm fine now."
"That's good. I still have some supplements that I brought from Beijing. I'll ask my secretary to send them to you one day. You should eat some."
"Okay, thank you."
"Hehe, why are you being so polite?"
The two of them chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Now that the situation had calmed down, Dong Xuebing is very forgiving and took the initiative to communicate with Zhang Dongfang. Actually, there are no ulterior motives. Both of them had fought fiercely during the Party Committee meeting, and the atmosphere was not good. Now that the situation had calmed down, Dong Xuebing should at least be polite on the surface. If not, the County's Party Committee Leader and Second Leader's conflict will be very serious. That's why Dong Xuebing did not want the County to be so tense and must make some adjustments.
The other members of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee also left the conference room, each with their own thoughts. However, the atmosphere of the meeting was still quite good. There were no strong voices of opposition, and everyone's relationship had also eased up a little. For example, Chang Lin took the initiative to speak to the Executive Deputy County Head, Xu Zhuang.
There are political struggles everywhere.
This is not scary, and it's normal.
It's fine as long as there is a certain degree of stability.
Struggle, compromise, balance, struggle again, compromise again, balance again. This is the main theme of political struggles.
… …
11 am.
Dong Xuebing's new office.
Su Yan entered the office after Dong Xuebing returned. "Secretary, Chief Huo is here."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing thought for a while and went out. He did not meet Su Yan in the office as the soundproofing is not good. Dong Xuebing saw Huo Yibang waiting for him outside and smiled. "Old Huo, I am going out for lunch. Let's go together."
Huo Yibang quickly replied. "Ok."
Dong Xuebing walked in front and boarded his Audi with Huo Yibang.
Xiao Wang had been waiting outside, and when he heard Dong Xuebing is going out for lunch, he drove towards the city gates. There are not many good restaurants in the vicinity.
In the car, Huo Yibang did not avoid his driver, Xiao Wang. The leader's driver is more trusted than the leader's secretary, and he does not need to avoid him. He thanked Dong Xuebing gratefully. "Secretary, the Party Committee … thank you so much. I also did not think … Sigh … I don't even know if I am qualified." Huo Yibang was very excited. After working in the City Administration Bureau for so many years, he had never thought that he would be promoted to the divisional level before he retired. His life plan was not that ambitious, and his best hope was to be promoted to the deputy divisional level before he retired, with a little more pension and benefits. This was also a common phenomenon in the government. Generally, for old cadres who had a good relationship with the leaders and contributed to the department, many leaders would give them face and give them a higher salary when they retired, as a recognition of their hard work over the years. But Huo Yibang did not expect that he could be promoted to the deputy divisional level before he retired, and even become a deputy county magistrate with a lot of power. He felt that he had made the right bet this time.
Dong Xuebing replied. "This is not decided yet, and it will depend on the City Government's attitude. We are all on the same side, and I don't need to hide some things from you. You should know I am not on good terms with the City Government. Usually, the City Government will respect the County Government's decision. But I am the County's Party Secretary, and the City Government's attitude is not the same. Let me inform you first, and you better be prepared."
Huo Yibang replied. "No matter what, I will still thank you. Don't worry. I will not disappoint you if you appoint me as the County's Deputy Mayor."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "If you are really transferred to the County Government, you might not have a good life." After all, that is Zhang Dongfang's territory.
Huo Yibang replied firmly. "I am prepared. I will do whatever you want me to do. If I have any objections, you can leave immediately!"
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "It's not that serious."
But Dong Xuebing is satisfied with Huo Yibang's reply. Why did he promote Huo Yibang? Firstly, it is because of his achievements, and secondly, he needs Huo Yibang's support. If not, why would he promote him? When Dong Xuebing first came to the County, he does not know who Huo Yibang is or what his background is. He only looked for Huo Yibang because he needs him for this job. Now, Dong Xuebing found out from Meng Hanmei that Huo Yibang is close to the County Government in the past. After all, the County Government is in charge of the City Administration Bureau. But Dong Xuebing still recommended Huo Yibang to the Party Committee without hesitation. This is Dong Xuebing's strategy, and Huo Yibang's reply had told Dong Xuebing that he will stand by Dong Xuebing's side. This is enough. This is what Dong Xuebing needs.
Whittle down his political enemies' strength.
Replenish his forces.
Isn't this the most common tactic in politics?
Successfully getting Huo Yibang to his side will help Dong Xuebing gain a foothold in Jiaolin County. At the same time, he can whittle down his political enemies' strength. This is killing two birds with one stone.
… …
Afternoon.
Jiaolin County's documents were sent to the City.
Because the Provincial Government had bypassed Baohong City to investigate a few Counties, Baohong City will be holding a Party Committee meeting in the afternoon to deal with the recent incidents.
Dong Xuebing's secretary sent a pile of documents to the City's Party Committee Secretary's office. "Secretary, these are the documents that need to be discussed in the afternoon meeting. Please take a look."
Qian Litao nodded. Since yesterday, he had been in a bad mood. The fact that the provincial government was investigating a few counties under their jurisdiction was a form of punishment and dissatisfaction for Qian Litao. This also made Qian Litao feel a lot of pressure.
He flipped through the documents one by one and told his secretary what to do first. "Show this to Secretary Wang and inform him first. Oh, and this, I will not tell Old Sun. Tell him in advance that we might have to touch his people during the meeting. Tell him that this is something that cannot be helped and ask him to stay calm. As for the rest of the matters, he should be able to understand."
Dong Xuebing's secretary jotted down everything in his notebook.
Qian Litao flipped to Jiaolin County's report and saw Huo Yibang's appointment proposal. He frowned. "What is this Jiaolin County's Party Committee Secretary doing? Why is he still discussing the appointment? He still has not cleaned up his mess, and the investigation team is still here!" Only Qian Litao's secretary is around, and he does not care about what he says. His hatred for Dong Xuebing is written all over his face.
Dong Xuebing's secretary also knows what is going on. "Then … should we call them back?"
Qian Litao snorted and threw the documents on the floor. "Alright. Go and prepare for the meeting."
That afternoon, the City's Party Committee meeting approved Jiaolin County's appointment of Deputy Mayor Huo Yibang.
Dong Xuebing had guessed correctly. The City does not have time to waste with him as they are still busy.
