"… I support Mayor Xie's nomination."
Xiong Zhiyong's vote marks the end of this nomination.
6 to 5 … Xie Huilan had turned the tables!
What is going on?! No one knows what happened!
Chen Tongbing was flustered and exasperated. His eyes swept over Xiong Zhiyong. Liao Yanshan and Yi Tao's faces were as ugly as could be. After Xiong Zhiyong said that, conference room number one fell silent. Xiong Zhiyong didn't even raise his head. There was a bitter taste in his mouth. After he expressed his opinion, he stared straight at the conference table, as if there was something on it. He didn't blink at all, as if he was absorbed in it.
Huang Li and Geng Yuchao looked at each other, and they couldn't conceal the astonishment in their eyes.
Xie Huilan stopped smiling and looked at Xiang Daofa calmly. "… Secretary Daofa?"
More than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to look at Xiang Daofa.
The voting results are out, and now is not the time to wonder why Xiong Zhiyong suddenly backstabbed him. Xiang Daofeng is the County's Party Secretary, and he has the veto power. If he uses this power, he can reject this proposal and appointment by force. But there are drawbacks to having this veto power. Every Party Secretary will not use this power easily. If he uses this veto power, it will affect his reputation in the County, and it will also tell the City leaders that he is no longer able to control the County. This is the most important thing for Xiang Daofeng.
Xiang Daofa kept quiet.
Lian Yanshan, Chen Tongbing, and the rest knew Xiang Daofa might use his veto power, and their hearts sank.
One second …
Two seconds …
Three seconds …
Xiang Daofa sighed in his heart.
He still can't use his veto power. If it were someone else, he might still be able to reject this nomination, and he might still have a chance to turn things around. But the nominee is Dong Xuebing. Over the past six months, Dong Xuebing had solved the Provincial Museum Robbery Case, saved people, and made many contributions to the County, City, and Province. Even if the higher-ups do not know him personally, they should have heard of him. If Xiang Daofa rejects this nomination, the County's leaders will be disappointed, and the City and Provincial leaders will think he is useless.
That's why Xiang Daofa cannot reject this nomination!
Xiang Daofa cannot bear the consequences!
"… Dong Xuebing." After that, Xiang Daofa closed the document in his hand and said. "That's all for today's meeting. Dismissed!" Xiang Daofa did not have the mood to continue with the discussion, and he ended the meeting with a black face. Xiang Daofa had rarely been humiliated like this. He had all the advantages, but he lost to Xie Huilan. Xiang Daofa, who had been arrogant ever since he was appointed as the County's Party Secretary, can't accept this, and it's embarrassing for him.
Lian Yanshan, Chen Tongbing, and the rest are also embarrassed. They packed their things and prepared to leave.
Duan Zhengan was the first to stand up and walk out with a glass of water.
"Secretary Duan, I need to talk to you." Xie Huilan smiled and walked over to Duan Zhengan. "Let's talk on the way."
Duan Zhengan is partly responsible for Xiang Daofa's defeat today. He felt he should explain to Xiang Daofa when he saw his expression. He was about to go to Xiang Daofa's office to wait for him when Xie Huilan called out to him. Duan Zhengan was speechless and thought to himself. Since when did we become so close? But the Mayor said he has something to attend to, and he can't reject Xie Huilan.
Chen Tongbing cursed in his heart when he saw Xie Huilan walking away.
Huang Li looked at Xie Huilan's back view and immediately understood what she is trying to do. Xie Huilan is trying to make use of this incident to stir up suspicions among Xiang Daofa's men. Huang Li quickly understood Xie Huilan's intention and signaled Geng Yuchao to look for Cao Xupeng. Cao Xupeng and Cao Xupeng are old friends, and they are good friends.
"Old Cao, it's almost lunchtime. Shall we have lunch together?" Huang Li asked.
Cao Xupeng thought to himself. You are just creating trouble for me. He waved his hand. "I still have some work to do."
"I will wait for you." Huang Li followed Dong Xupeng out of the meeting room.
Geng Yuchao reacted quickly and saw Xiong Zhiyong walking out of the meeting room with a glass of water. He quickly chased after him. "Minister Xiong, let's go together."
Chen Tongbing and the rest are furious with Xie Huilan and the rest.
They know they are trying to sow discord, but they can't help but feel angry at Xiong Zhiyong and Duan Zhengan.
… …
County Investment Promotion Agency.
Lui Dafa had just returned from lunch when his phone rang.
Lui Dafa's heart started racing when he saw it was Chen Tongbing's number. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and his mind was focused on the County's Party Committee meeting. Lui Dafa suppressed his excitement and picked up the phone. "Minister Chen."
"…" There is no reply from the other end, but Lui Dafa can hear Chen Tongbing's breathing.
Lui Dafa was stunned. "Minister Chen?"
Chen Tongbing replied in a low voice. "There was an accident, and Dong Xuebing had gone up."
"Ah?" Lui Dafa was stunned. "Dong Xuebing?"
"Old Lui, calm down." Chen Tongbing sighed. "You will have plenty of chances in the future."
After hanging up the phone, Lui Dafa felt dizzy. His legs wobbled and he almost fell. He quickly held onto the wall beside him to steady himself. Thinking about Chen Tongbing's words, Lui Dafa was stunned. Will there be another chance in the future? How is this possible? If he can't get promoted this time, he will never get promoted again. With Dong Xuebing's position, how can he have a good life?
Ring … ring … ring … Lui Dafa's phone rang again.
Lui Dafa answered the phone in a daze.
It's his wife, Li Hong. "Old Lui, how is the Party Committee meeting? When are you going to be promoted? "
Lui Dafa also did not know why he got angry. "Take over my ass!"
"Why are you shouting at me?!" Li Hong was also in a good mood. Her husband's career was about to take another step forward, and their family's life would get better and better. However, she didn't expect to be scolded when she said she wanted to make a phone call. Li Hong couldn't help but get angry. "Are you okay? Ah? Are you drunk? "
"I have nothing to do with this appointment!"
"What do you mean?"
"Dong Xuebing will be promoted! Do you know? Ah! "
Li Hong is furious. "Him?! He is appointed as the Chief?! Didn't you decide internally?! Didn't Party Secretary Xiang and Minister Chen support you?! What is going on?! "
"Who should I ask?!"
Lui Dafa and Li Hong had thought the position of the Investment Promotion Agency's Chief is theirs. That's why they can't accept this.
… …
At the same time.
County's Public Security Bureau. Dong Xuebing is smoking in his office. He had smoked a pack of Yuxi cigarettes in the morning, and it's about one to two days' worth of cigarettes. The room is filled with smoke, and his eyes are sore. Dong Xuebing quickly opens the windows to let the smoke out, and Xie Huilan's office phone rang.
Dong Xuebing held his breath. "Hello, Mayor Xie." Dong Xuebing had been paying attention to how he addresses Xie Huilan. That's why he calls her Mayor Xie.
Xie Huilan laughed. "The results are out. Can you guess?"
"Ah … just tell me." Dong Xuebing replied impatiently.
"Haha … You …" Xie Huilan paused for a second. "Minister Xiong, Secretary Duan, and Secretary Cao had helped us a lot during the Party Committee meeting. Don't forget to thank them."
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. "That means … it's done?"
Xie Huilan nodded. "The County's Party Committee's decision is out, and the document will be sent to the City Government. But I'm afraid the appointment will not be announced in the next few days, as Meng Xianglin's retirement paperwork is still pending. Also, it will be Lunar New Year in another twenty days, and the Investment Promotion Agency will need to prepare for the end of the year. Old Meng is discharged from the hospital, and these paperwork will be completed after Lunar New Year. You can take over the new year's work."
Dong Xuebing felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. Success! It's really done!
"Oh, how did you get Xiong Zhiyong to change his mind? You still have not told me the details. "
"He owes me a favor." Dong Xuebing explained. "This is a case I handled when I first came to Yan Tai County, and you are not transferred over yet."
That's right. Xiong Zhiyong is Xiao Hua's father. When the County Government's website was tampered with, Xiao Hua had done it for fun. At that time, the person who tampered with the County Government's website belongs to the Mayor, Xiang Daofa. Xiao Hua had switched Xiang Daofa's name with a Deputy Mayor's name. If Dong Xuebing had not let Xiao Hua off, this incident would not have ended.
Although Xiong Zhiyong owes Dong Xuebing a favor, it should not be enough to make Xiong Zhiyong change his mind.
Dong Xuebing felt Xiong Zhiyong does not know if he has any evidence, and if he brings up that hacking case again, it will affect Xiao Hua and Xiong Zhiyong. That's why Xiong Zhiyong is using this method to repay Dong Xuebing's favor.
Dong Xuebing told Xie Huilan everything that had happened.
"You are quite capable. Haha … do your best." Xie Huilan laughed. "Don't disappoint me."
"I will. I will not let down the organization's trust!" Dong Xuebing joked and suddenly remembered Sister Yu. "Sister Xie, how is Lui Dafa?"
"What do you think?"
"I think he is about to die from anger."
Dong Xuebing had snatched Lui Dafa's position as the Chief, and this is not the end. If Dong Xuebing does not kick Lui Dafa out of the County Government and destroy his family, he will not let him off so easily. Everyone knows Lui Dafa is a vengeful person. Ruining Sister Yu's face is equivalent to ruining Dong Xuebing's reputation. This matter will not end so easily!
Noon. News of Dong Xuebing's promotion to the County Investment Promotion Agency's Chief spread.
Many people were stunned when they heard this news.
Everyone knows Xiang Daofa is the one in charge of Yan Tai County now, and he has the majority of the votes on the Party Committee. Most of the leaders in the Villages and Towns are under Xiang Daofa. Very few! That's why it's impossible for Xie Huilan to turn the tables against Xiang Daofa. Furthermore, she had promoted Dong Xuebing, whom Xiang Daofa had asked the Commission for Discipline Inspection, to Section Chief! How is this possible?! No one thought that this was a reliable thing!
But the development of this incident is out of everyone's expectations!
Dong Xuebing had really been promoted to Section Chief! Secretary Xiang had lost his bet with Mayor Xie! This was no less than a heavy bomb, exploding among the leaders and cadres at all levels!
Those who know the inside story were shocked. If Duan Zhengan had sided with Mayor Xie, everyone will be surprised. After all, Duan Zhengan is only close to Xiang Daofa, and he might not support Xiang Daofa on some sensitive issues. But if Xiong Zhiyong, the Head of the Armed Forces, had sided with Mayor Xie, this is not surprising. Many people felt this is impossible!
Who is Minister Xiong?
Whenever someone from Xie Huilan's faction speaks in any meetings, Minister Xiong will scold them. He is unprincipled and supports Xiang Daofa's faction!
During the most crucial vote, Xiong Zhiyong had stabbed Xiang Daofa in the back?!
Why did he suddenly support Mayor Xie?!
Can this be a joke?!
Yan Tai County's political circles are in a mess, and many people knew something is wrong. This is a clear sign that Xiang Daofa's position in the Party Committee will change, and the future of Yan Tai County's politics will be more complicated.
… …
County Public Security Bureau. Dong Xuebing walked out of his office and went upstairs.
In the corridor, a few well-informed officers greeted Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, congratulations."
"Thank you." Dong Xuebing smiled.
At this time, Deputy Bureau Chief Qin Yong walked over and saw Dong Xuebing. He laughed. "I was about to go to your office. Are you going to treat me tonight?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Of course. I am afraid Chief Qin will not do me the honor."
"Haha … Are you scolding me? That's a deal."
When Dong Xuebing first entered the Government Service, Qin Yong was transferred to the Public Security Bureau as the Deputy Bureau Chief. When Dong Xuebing was promoted to Deputy Section Chief, Qin Yong was still the Deputy Bureau Chief. Now, Dong Xuebing is promoted to Section Chief, and Qin Yong is still the Deputy Bureau Chief. Qin Yong thought about Dong Xuebing's promotions and smiled in his heart. He had heard that Dong Xuebing had entered the Government Service less than two years ago, and he had been promoted every year. There are only a few in the whole province who have this kind of promotion speed.
Comparisons were odious, and goods had to be thrown away.
Upstairs.
Dong Xuebing knocked on the door and entered Liang Chengpeng's office. "Chief Liang, are you looking for me?"
"Yes. Have a seat."
"Ok."
After Dong Xuebing sat down on the sofa, Liang Chengpeng sighed. "To be honest, I don't want to let you go. With your abilities and courage, you are most suitable to work in the Public Security. I still want you to stay here and gain more experience. Sigh … I can't keep up with the changes." Liang Chengpeng calmed himself down and looked at Dong Xuebing. "But since the County has decided, I will follow the decision. To you, this job in the Investment Promotion Agency is a test and an opportunity. Do your best!"
Dong Xuebing sighed. "Actually, I also don't want to leave."
Liang Chengpeng laughed and waved his hand. "Don't act like this. You are promoted, and you still want to stay? This is too fake. "
"I am serious." Dong Xuebing laughed embarrassedly. "I am also not confident now. You should know my character. I always get into trouble. If it wasn't for you taking care of me in the Agency, I don't know where I will be now. I am afraid I might not be able to do my job in the Agency after changing environments." Dong Xuebing is no longer a greenhorn who had just entered the government service. He can't promise to do his job well in front of the leaders like Xie Huilan.
Liang Chengpeng replied. "Don't be so pessimistic. With your ability, I believe you will be able to change to any department. But you should change your bad temper."
Dong Xuebing smiled and agreed.
Liang Chengpeng knew Dong Xuebing did not take it to heart and shook his head. He did not continue to say anything and let Dong Xuebing leave. After Dong Xuebing left, the Public Security will lose a capable general. Liang Chengpeng might say it casually, but in his heart, he is feeling sorry for Dong Xuebing. If possible, he really doesn't want to let Dong Xuebing go to the Investment Promotion Agency. Who doesn't want to keep someone capable like Dong Xuebing by their side?
… …
The whole afternoon, Dong Xuebing was answering phone calls.
Ring, ring, ring, ring. Some numbers he knows, some he doesn't. Some are from his office, and some are from his mobile phone. Dong Xuebing's phone will ring every few minutes.
When Dong Xuebing was promoted to Deputy Section Chief at the age of 23, everyone felt he is too young. Now, he is a 24-year-old Section Chief.
Public Security Bureau's Gong Zongwen and Sun Changhong, Hui Tian Village Station's Liu Dahai and Chen Fa, his neighbors, uncles, aunts, Tang Jin, and other department heads congratulated Dong Xuebing for his promotion. Some even invited him for dinner. Dong Xuebing's time is limited, and he rejected all the dinners he can. For those he cannot reject, he will invite a few more people to the same table. He wants to settle all his matters within these two days. Before Lunar New Year, Dong Xuebing still wants to bring Yu Meixia for skin grafting. Yu Meixia's beauty will not recover, and Dong Xuebing is not in the mood to do anything else.
But Dong Xuebing is very excited to be promoted to Section Chief.
He had been thinking about it for so long, and he finally got what he wanted!
