County Party Committee.
Meeting Room 1.
The Committee meeting is more than halfway through, and other than the first two votes to test the waters, Xie Huilan did not bring up any more controversial topics. She also did not object to Xiang Daofa's other proposals, and she gave everyone a feeling that she had given up. But Xiang Daofa's men are relentless. Whenever Geng Yuchao, Huang Li, and the rest speak up, they will be attacked by Chen Tongbing and Liao Yanshan. Especially Xiong Zhiyong, he does not have any scruples like Yi Tao, Liao Yanshan, and the rest. He pointed his finger at Xie Huilan, disregarding the difference in their positions. He wants to use this meeting to weaken Mayor Xie's influence and influence. Xiang Daofa seldom speaks, but he is the one who set up the meeting.
Geng Yuchao and Huang Li are under a lot of pressure as they were rebutted several times.
Xie Huilan did not say anything when she saw the situation. She only narrowed her eyes.
Ten minutes …
Half an hour …
One hour …
The meeting is coming to an end.
The Minister of the Armed Forces, Xiong Zhiyong's loud voice echoed in the meeting room. "I don't agree with Mayor Xie." He had said this many times today. "The Central Government wants to develop the economy, but why do we have to be overcautious? Why do we need to focus on the integrity of our leaders? What's the point of developing the economy? Aren't you trying to discourage our leaders? "
Xiang Daofa laughed. "Mayor Xie is asking our leaders to be more vigilant."
Xiong Zhiyong lowered his head and continued drinking his water.
"Alright. Let's put this aside for now." Xiang Daofa did not give Xie Huilan a chance to speak.
Geng Yuchao and Huang Li are upset to see Xiang Daofa and Xiong Zhiyong playing the good cop and bad cop. They know if they do not retaliate, Mayor Xie's influence will be affected. Xie Huilan is from another province, and she had only been in this position for a short time. She will face a lot of pressure if she wants to carry out her duties in the future.
On the other hand, Xie Huilan is as calm as a mountain.
Huang Li nodded in his heart. Not many people can be compared to Mayor Xie when it comes to maintaining her composure.
At this moment, the highlight of the day finally arrived.
Xiang Daofa flipped to the next topic and looked at Xie Huilan and the rest. "Investment Promotion Agency's Old Meng is not feeling well, and he had retired. This position is very important to our economy, and attracting investors is very important. Let's see who is suitable for this position." He turned to look at the head of the Organization Department, Yi Tao. "Old Yi, what's the result of the investigation?"
Hearing this, everyone tensed up.
This is the highlight of today's Party Committee meeting. Usually, Mayor Xie's first proposal is very sensitive. But compared to this appointment, it is insignificant. Everyone knows Xiang Daofa wants to deal with Dong Xuebing. This signal had been released when the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigated Dong Xuebing's finances. But after Mayor Xie nominated Dong Xuebing for promotion, she is trying to wrestle with Party Secretary Xiang. This contest will decide many things, and all the leaders in Yan Tai County are watching.
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds.
Yi Tao cleared his throat and flipped open a document. "Party Secretary Xiang and Secretary Cao had instructed us to interview two leaders. One is Investment Promotion Agency's Deputy Chief, Lui Dafa, and the other is Public Security's Deputy Chief, Dong Xuebing. Lui Dafa had outstanding performance at work, and he is mature and can see the big picture. He had …" Yi Tao briefly introduced Dong Xuebing and Lui Dafa. These are all official words and don't mean anything.
Xiang Daofa nodded.
Geng Yuchao was about to say something. "I think Dong …"
"Old Yi, who do you think is more suitable?" Xiang Daofa interrupted Geng Yuchao.
Geng Yuchao swallowed his words, and his face changed.
Lian Yanshan, who was sitting beside Geng Yuchao, looked at him gloatingly.
Yi Tao calmed himself down and replied. "Old Lui is more suitable. Party Secretary Xiang is right. The position of the Investment Promotion Agency Chief is very important, and we had talked about it before. Next year, the County's focus will be on attracting investors, and we need someone like Lui Dafa to lead the Agency. I am not sure about Xiao Dong's ability to attract investors, but he is only 24 years old, and he is not suitable for this position." As the Head of the Organization Department, Lui Dafa is very objective. Even if Yi Tao is not on Xiang Daofa's side, he also does not agree with Dong Xuebing.
Xiang Daofa nodded.
Xie Huilan turned and looked at Geng Yuchao.
Geng Yuchao immediately replied. "I admit Chief Dong is still young, but who says he will not be able to handle the situation when he is young? Who says being young means you are incapable? I feel that being young is Xiao Dong's advantage. This means he is bold and energetic. Everyone knows about the past few years. Our County had been struggling to attract investors, and we are lagging behind other Counties. This is an objective problem. If Old Lui is replaced, I believe the situation will not change. This is a problem of mindset. Now is the time to inject fresh blood into the County. This is the only way to turn the situation around. I think Chief Dong can take on this role. "
The County's Party Committee Office Director Lian Yanshan retorted. "Mayor Geng, you are too optimistic. I know Chief Dong's resume. After he entered the government service, he started working in the State Security and was transferred to the Public Security. These two departments are considered part of the Police system, and his job is to solve cases and investigate crimes. I am not doubting Chief Dong's ability to solve cases and arrest criminals. But when it comes to attracting investors, he is too different from the Public Security system. How can you ask a martial arts master to go into literature? Is this a joke? It's the same. "
Huang Li said. "Don't label everyone as a dead man. Who is born to be good at everything? Director Liao, didn't you join the army in the past? You are different from your current position. " Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "From what I know, Xiao Dong was also doing clerical work when he was in State Security. He is in charge of the General Affairs Office, and he has experience in this area. I believe Xiao Dong can do a good job."
Chen Tongbing shook his head. "What if he can't do it? No one had seen Xiao Dong's ability in attracting investments. This is a gamble and irresponsible. "
Liao Yanshan replied coldly. "Director Chen is right. Xiao Dong is the one who pushed away the Japanese investors who came to our County for a visit. That shows he is inexperienced in this area. How can you let him take on such an important role? Chief Lui is more suitable. Firstly, he has experience, and secondly, he is working in the Investment Promotion Agency. He is familiar with the work and is able to handle the situation. "
Huang Li frowned. "The Japanese are the ones who committed the crime, and Xiao Dong is handling the case impartially. What's wrong with that? At that time, he is the leader of the Public Security Bureau and not the Investment Promotion Agency. Are you saying that Xiao Dong can handle the case and still be in charge of the Investment Promotion Agency? "
Liao Yanshan looks at Dong Xuebing. "I am saying Xiao Dong is too violent!"
Huang Li sneered. "The law is strict. Are you telling us to teach the criminals a lesson peacefully and not pursue any consequences?"
The few of them argued but could not come to a conclusion.
Xiang Daofa and Xie Huilan did not say a word.
After a few minutes, Xiang Daofa took a sip of tea and put the cup on the table.
Everyone stopped arguing and looked at Xiang Daofa. They knew Xiang Daofa is going to speak.
Xiang Daofa raised his head and said. "Old Lui. Dong Xuebing is still too young and is not even 30 years old. He still needs more training." Xiang Daofa did not even bother to vote and took the initiative to arrange Dong Xuebing's work. Everyone knows Mayor Xie is in her thirties. Also, she seems to be talking about Dong Xuebing, but at the same time, it also seems to be a warning to Xie Huilan.
Geng Yuchao and Huang Li's faces changed.
Liao Yanshan and Chen Tongbing were watching from the side.
Xie Huilan, who had been quiet all this while, finally spoke. She looks at Xiang Daofa and smiles. "I think Xiao Dong is more suitable. Secretary Xiang, let's vote on this."
The atmosphere froze.
This is the first time Xie Huilan had stood up for Xiang Daofa since the start of the meeting.
Liao Yanshan looks at Xie Huilan. Is she going to retaliate? But where did she get her confidence from?! Can't she tell what is going on in the Party Committee?
Chen Tongbing knows more than Xie Huilan and laughed in his heart.
Xiang Daofa looked at Xie Huilan calmly and laughed. "Alright. Let's vote on this."
"I support Secretary Xiang." Liao Yanshan is the first to vote. "Lui Dafa is more suitable to be the head of the Investment Promotion Agency!"
Geng Yuchao said. "I support Mayor Xie. The Investment Promotion Agency needs a young and capable leader!"
Huang Li added. "I also agree with Mayor Xie's nomination. Xiao Dong is outstanding, and we must appoint him as our leader!"
Yi Tao looks at them. "I still have the same opinion. Old Lui."
In just one minute, the two sides were tied, three votes to three votes, no clear winner.
But this is only temporary, and Chen Tongbing broke the deadlock. "I support Secretary Xiang's suggestion. Xiao Dong is too young, and we need a veteran to oversee the Investment Promotion Agency. I choose Lui Dafa." Lui Dafa nodded.
Xiang Daofa has four votes, and Xie Huilan has three votes. It's a one-sided vote.
Geng Yuchao is getting anxious and kept looking at Xie Huilan. Other than Executive Deputy Mayor Zhou Pingzhi, the rest of the Standing Committee members are not confident of getting a single vote. If they don't have any counterattacks, they will surely lose this round!
