Next day.
Friday.
Dong Xuebing woke up early in the morning and was putting on his shoes when he received a call from a Beijing number. It was the National Elderly Office. They were informing Guangming Street Office that they had passed the preliminary review of the National Elderly Model Unit, and they need to submit an application form.
It was finally approved!
Dong Xuebing was excited. "Thank you. Where should I submit the application form?"
"The final review will be led by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Just submit the application form there."
"Ok. We will submit the application form as soon as possible."
"The final review by the Central Government should be starting now. You all must submit the application form as soon as possible. If not, the results will be affected."
"Thank you for reminding me. I will."
"That's all."
This was the first time Dong Xuebing oversaw a major project since he took office. To him, this was the most important thing, and he was very concerned about it. This National Model Unit was what he needed. Although he knew passing the preliminary review does not mean anything, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will reject more than half of the units, the chances of it being approved was at least 30%. If he was lucky enough to be selected, he would be able to add more glory to his resume and also help the residents in the district. A National Model Unit will be given preferential treatment by the district government, and many policies will be biased towards them. As a government official, Dong Xuebing must do his best to help the people in his district. That's why Dong Xuebing did not dare to say he will get the title of National Model Unit, but he will try his best to get it.
On the way to the office, Dong Xuebing called the Party and Government Affairs Office's Director, Zhou Yanru. He asked her to inform all the Party Working Committee members to call for a meeting.
Half an hour later.
Small meeting room.
Dong Xuebing went through the application forms in his office again and again. He purposely waited for the last person to enter the small meeting room in the annex building. Everyone had arrived. Guo Mingfeng's backstabbing had made Dong Xuebing realize that he was still not powerful enough to establish his authority among the middle-level leaders. That's why after yesterday's incident, Dong Xuebing wanted to use this opportunity to strengthen his position as the District Government's No. 1. As the highest leader in the District Government Affairs Office, it was normal for him to be late.
The meeting room was silent, and the atmosphere was tense.
Dong Xuebing looked at everyone and walked to the main seat without any expression. "Let's start the meeting."
Several members of the Party Working Committee subconsciously sat up straight. From this action, it could be seen that some people's attitudes had changed slightly.
Geng Xinke lowered his head and drank his tea with a straight face. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
Deputy Director Yu Rongfeng, on the other hand, was slightly perturbed, and his brows were rippling with uneasiness.
The police station chief, Peng Gang, had a similar expression.
In the blink of an eye, one of the Geng Faction's three generals had been swiftly and decisively removed. The Geng Faction's troops naturally wouldn't look too good. They had been killed to serve as an example to others.
"Everyone should know about what happened to Deputy Chief Guo Mingfeng. I had asked the District Commission for Discipline Inspection about the situation. Deputy Chief Guo's financial problems are very serious, and he also has moral problems. We should all learn from him!" Dong Xuebing said. After saying that, Dong Xuebing banged the table thrice. "In the future, all of you must be careful with your personnel!"
Geng Xinke was the Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee, and he was in charge of the organization's personnel. Dong Xuebing's words were a warning to him. Although Geng Xinke does not have the authority to make any decisions, he still has the authority to nominate. Everyone knew that Geng Xinke was the reason why Guo Mingfeng was promoted to Deputy Chief Guo. Guo Mingfeng was also a loyal follower of the Geng Faction. That's why when Guo Mingfeng got into trouble, Geng Xinke will be the one to suffer the most.
Dong Xuebing's scolding caused the atmosphere to freeze.
Zhou Yanru looked at Geng Xinke casually and continued to record the meeting minutes.
Geng Xinke did not say a word. He acted like he did not hear anything and had nothing to do with him.
After scolding Geng Xinke, Dong Xuebing took a sip of tea and purposely paused for two seconds before saying slowly. "Deputy Chief Guo's situation is still not confirmed. But the office cannot wait for someone. I will make some adjustments. Chief Meng will be in charge of the Civil Affairs in the future."
Deputy Office Director Meng Senguo had failed to settle the dispute between Wang Yuling and the residents. Since then, although he had expressed his intention to work closely with Dong Xuebing, Dong Xuebing did not say anything. Meng Senguo was relieved when he heard this. Civil Affairs? Meng Senguo did not care about this small amount of power, but he cared about the direction of the situation. Director Dong's action was equivalent to accepting him, Meng Senguo, and this made him a little excited. He was a cadre of the old Secretary of the Street Office. Ever since the old Secretary left, Meng Senguo had not chosen a side. Now that he was finally accepted by Director Dong as he wished, Meng Senguo immediately felt that it was great to find a team.
Meng Senguo immediately expressed his stance.
Zhou Yanru looked at Meng Senguo and smiled kindly.
Dong Xuebing continued. "As for Deputy Chief Guo's Federation of the Handicapped and the Elderly Home … …" He paused for a while and continued. "Chief Yuling, you will be in charge of this area."
Wang Yuling was stunned. She did not expect Dong Xuebing to give her more responsibilities.
Many people looked at the District Party Secretary's niece with a complicated look.
The Handicapped's Federation of the Handicapped was not important, but Guangming Street Office's Elderly Care Program had received a lot of attention recently. This program had a high chance of getting the National Model Unit title. No matter what happened in the past, the Elderly Care Program was a lucrative position now. Many people were looking forward to getting a share of this pie. If Wang Yuling was selected as the National Model Unit, then she would have gotten a credit for nothing. She would be able to get promoted in the future. Even if Wang Yuling did not want to be a government official and does not have any desire for power, who would not want a promotion? Just look at the salary and benefits. Deputy Section Chief and Section Chief are very different, and everyone wants to be promoted.
Wang Yuling immediately felt embarrassed. She had not participated in the inspection of the Respect for the Elderly Role Model and had not been of any help at all. Now that this cake had landed directly on her head, she blushed. "Ahem, Director, this..."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "What's wrong? Is the responsibility too heavy? "
"I am afraid I am not qualified." Look, Wang Yuling did not say she is not qualified.
"I know your capabilities. You must have confidence in yourself. That's it. Does anyone else have any questions?" Dong Xuebing looked at the rest of the members.
None of the Party Working Committee members said anything.
You had already made your decision, and who else can have any questions?
If it was in the past, Dong Xuebing's faction would be the first to object and might even ask for a democratic vote. But yesterday, Dong Xuebing had sent Guo Mingfeng to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and even the Head of the Organization Department was punished. Many people were shocked by Dong Xuebing's actions. That's why no one dares to object to Dong Xuebing's decision.
Dong Xuebing looked at everyone and was satisfied. He finally got the feeling of being the leader. "Since no one has any objections, then that's it. There is one last piece of good news. This morning, I had received a call from the National Elderly Care Office. Our street had passed the preliminary selection for the National Elderly Care Model Unit nomination. The final selection will be in the next few days. Everyone, please do your best and don't let anything go wrong."
The nomination was announced?
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and everyone began to discuss one after another.
After the meeting ended, everyone started to leave the meeting room. Dong Xuebing looked up. "Chief Zhou, Chief Wang, please stay for a while."
After everyone left, only Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling remained in the room.
Wang Yuling looked at Dong Xuebing and smiled softly. "Chief Zhou, thank you."
"The Elderly Care Model Unit?" Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Haha, this is the organization's trust in you. Why are you thanking me? But since I had passed this responsibility to you, you must do your job well. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible. "
Wang Yuling was not confident, but she still smiled and nodded.
"Chief Zhou." Dong Xuebing turned to Zhou Yanru. "You must not give up on the Model Unit Selection. You must cooperate with Chief Wang."
Zhou Yanru smiled. "I understand. Don't worry, Chief."
A few days ago, Dong Xuebing had passed the Model Unit Selection to Zhou Yanru. Now, Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru will be working together. Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling are good friends, and Dong Xuebing believes they can work well together. Wang Yuling is considered part of the Dong Family's staff now. By passing this responsibility to them, Dong Xuebing will be in control of the Model Unit Selection.
Everything is going smoothly.
Dong Xuebing is in a good mood now. Yesterday, he had established his dominance, and his authority as the Dong Family's No. 1 had increased. But there are still some drawbacks. Dong Xuebing had established his dominance, but it was too much. Other people use their subordinates to establish their dominance, but Dong Xuebing had not only taught his subordinates a lesson, but he had also established his dominance with Xue Qingrong, a District Leader. Dong Xuebing had become the center of attention.
No way.
I must lie low and avoid the limelight.
Zhou Yanru suddenly asked. "About the registration materials …"
"The people from the Respect for the Elderly Office want us to send the materials to Beijing as soon as possible." Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Alright. Both of you will pack your things and follow me to Beijing later. We will be staying here for a few days." Other than submitting the materials and staying low, Dong Xuebing also wants to have dinner with the leaders of the Model Unit Selection. He wants to build a good relationship with them. It is too late for the Model Unit Selection.
