Yan Liang was going to be promoted.
Yan Liang did not tell anyone about this and should be kept a secret. But Political Commissar Zhou Guoan, who had connections in the City Bureau, heard about this and had a long talk with Yan Liang. These few years, both of them had many small conflicts, but there were no major conflicts. Yan Liang's attitude towards Zhou Guoan had changed. He felt it was time for him to let go of Zhou Guoan during this period. This was considered doing Zhou Guoan a favor. If Zhou Guoan could take over his position, he would treat his former subordinates well.
Yes.
Yan Liang had decided to support Guo Shunjie for the position of Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Office. Zhou Guoan had 4 votes. Including Yan Liang, it was 5 votes. Xu Yan only had 3 votes. Even if she had 1 or 2 more votes, it would be meaningless unless she had 3 more people supporting her. But Pang Bin had already expressed his stance. Liu Hua would surely abstain from voting, and … … there was no one left.
5: 3.
The ending was set!
"Xiao Dong is capable." Yan Liang did not say anything, but it was obvious he was leaning towards Dong Xuebing. "But his age?" If it was someone else who said this, Xu Yan and Song Shoujie would surely retort. But it was from Chief Yan, and it was different. Xu Yan could feel Yan Liang's attitude. She sighed in her heart. She knew it was useless to say anything. The Deputy Chief was supporting Guo Shunjie, and the First Chief was siding with Guo Shunjie. The two most powerful leaders in the branch had already decided … … How could he not be promoted?
Zhou Guoan also said: "Our State Security is a special department, and the General Affairs Office is a department that deals with a lot of documents. For a newcomer who had just joined the branch for less than 2 months, it is necessary for us to monitor and vet him. If not, something bad might happen."
Xu Yan's face changed. "You are too serious."
Zhou Guoan laughed: "It's better to be safe than sorry."
Song Shoujie frowned: "Xiao Dong's background check had ended a long time ago. If not, he would not be able to enter the State Security. Now you are saying this … …"
"Everyone, stop arguing." Yan Liang rubbed his brows. "Since all the candidates are Guo Shunjie and Dong Xuebing, then let's vote. Those who support Guo Shunjie, please raise your hand." Yan Liang himself was not in a hurry to express his attitude. For such a controversial personnel proposal, he would usually wait for everyone to raise their hands before he would be the last to make the final decision. This way, the role of the leader could be highlighted.
Yan Liang was a man of integrity, but integrity was only a weapon he used to fight.
Struggle … was the main theme of politics!
Yan Liang's political wisdom was no less than others. If not, he would not be able to reach his current position.
"I support Guo Shunjie."
"Me too."
Zhou Guoan, Li Mingyu, Zhao Jinxi, Cheng Haimei, 4 votes!
Yan Mingliang nodded. "Those who support Dong Xuebing, please raise your hand."
Xu Yan was the first to raise her right hand, followed by Song Shoujie, then Yang Yizhong — three votes!
Zhao Jinxi smiled and glanced at them from the corner of his eyes. But this glance ignited Pang Bin's anger again. Chief Pang still remembered Zhao Jinxi's words earlier. He was furious when Zhao Jinxi glanced at him. To make things worse, Pang Bin shouted: "Since Guo Panwei has no hope, I think Dong Xuebing is more suitable than Guo Shunjie." After saying that, he raised his hand!
Four votes!
Zhou Guoan sneered in his heart.
Zhao Jinxi had gotten Zhou Guoan's hint and knew Chief Yan will support them. That's why he was relaxed and looked at Pang Bin as if he was a joke.
Pang Bin had also guessed Chief Yan's attitude from what Chief Yan had said. He knew even if he supported Dong Xuebing, the situation will not change. He had raised his hand was to make things difficult for Zhou Guoan and his men. Zhao Jinxi's words and Cheng Haimei's change of heart had angered Pang Bin.
Xu Yan and Song Shoujie smiled and looked at each other. They knew they had lost the upper hand. But both of them felt it was a pity. Dong Xuebing had the same number of votes as Zhou Guoan. If Dong Xuebing was older and had been in the branch for a longer period of time, the result might be different. Chief Yan's attitude … …
"I support Dong Xuebing!"
Everyone was waiting for Yan Liang to announce Guo Shunjie's appointment as Deputy Chief. When they heard Dong Xuebing's words, they were stunned!
One second … …
Two seconds … …
Time seemed to have stopped!
Zhao Jinxi looked at his lower hand in astonishment. He looked at the person who was most unlikely to speak. He thought he had misheard. "What?"
Yan Liang, Zhou Guoan, Xu Yan, Song Shoujie, Cheng Haimei, Li Mingyu, and the rest all looked at the person in front of him.
Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Hua, who had been in the Western District Branch for more than a year, had never expressed his views during the Party Committee meetings. He had been sitting quietly from the start to the end of the meetings. He had always abstained from voting. At this moment, he was voting for the first time in the Western District Branch. Liu Hua raised his hand. He did not explain why or why he voted. He only said calmly: "I support Dong Xuebing."
5 votes!
Everyone was stunned!
No one would have thought that Liu Hua would actually open his mouth, moreover at this time!
This was too unexpected!
At that moment, Xu Yan had goosebumps all over her body. She stared at Yan Liang in shock!
Zhou Guoan's face had turned black. He looked at Yan Liang!
Song Shoujie swallowed his saliva and turned to look at Chief Yan!
Gradually, the rest of the people also looked at Yan Liang in shock. Who will Chief Yan vote for?!
Yan Liang took a deep breath. He had wanted to vote for Guo Shunjie. Yes. This was his intention. Firstly, Dong Xuebing was too young. Compared to him, Yan Liang thought more highly of Guo Shunjie. Secondly, he wanted to do Zhou Guoan a favor. Both of them had discussed this beforehand. But now, at this moment, Yan Liang suddenly realized … he actually couldn't vote for Guo Shunjie!
Yes. He could not vote for Dong Xuebing!
It was 5: 4 now. Even if Yan Liang voted for Guo Shunjie, it would still be a 5: 5 draw!
The First and Second Leaders had voted for the same person, and the result was a draw. If this news were to spread, everyone would laugh their heads off. The City Bureau leaders would think that the leaders from the Western District Branch do not have the ability to control the situation.
If Yan Liang had made his stand clear before the voting, Pang Bin would not dare to vote for Dong Xuebing!
If Yan Liang had supported Guo Shunjie from the start, then there would be no need to wait until the last voting stage!
If … …
But … … there were no 'if's!
