On this day, Sun Gan, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, who had been the leader of the investigation team that went to Sea City to investigate Xing Tiande's case, hurriedly knocked on the office door of Pei Zheng, the head of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Secretary Pei, there's new progress in Xing Tiande's case. Sun Gan had just run up from downstairs, and his tone was a little hurried.
Oh, what's the new progress? Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at his right-hand man. Old Sun, don't worry. Sit down and tell me slowly.
Today, our investigators went to talk to Xing Tiande again. Xing Tiande suddenly called out another person and listed some financial dealings in detail. After preliminary verification, our investigators found that what Xing Tiande said was basically true.
Who was involved? Pei Zheng frowned and went straight to the point.
It was Chang Yong, the head of Ximen County under Sea City.
Oh. Pei Zheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Xing Tiande's rank was not high, only at the deputy division level, but the people involved were more sensitive. Pei Zheng was relieved when he heard that it was not related to Zhou Mingfang. Zhou Mingfang had just been transferred to the Provincial Party Committee as the Organization Minister. If the investigation found anything related to him, it would be a big problem. At that time, as the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he would be criticized by Jiang Min.
Old Sun, get ready.
Come with me to the Provincial Party Committee. Secretary Jiang Min has been very concerned about this case. You can report to him personally. Pei Zheng said.
Pei Zheng called the Provincial Party Committee and confirmed that Jiang Min was in the office. He immediately drove to the Provincial Party Committee with Sun Gan.
In the Organization Department, Zhou Mingfang was busy looking through some files, but suddenly received a notice from the general office of the Provincial Party Committee. Jiang Min asked him to go to the Provincial Party Committee now. Zhou Mingfang was puzzled, but he didn't dare to delay.
Secretary Jiang Min, after all, Xing Tiande was Comrade Mingfang's secretary. Was it inappropriate to call Comrade Mingfang over? In Jiang Min's office, Pei Zheng looked at Jiang Min in confusion.
It's okay. Comrade Mingfang has been working in Sea City for a long time. It's okay to ask for his opinion. Jiang Min smiled and waved his hand. I know what you're worried about, but the current situation is very clear. Xing Tiande's crimes were all done behind Comrade Mingfang's back. Comrade Mingfang didn't know anything about it. Your investigation in the past two months has fully proved Comrade Mingfang's innocence. This shows that Comrade Mingfang can stand the test. Otherwise, the Central Committee and our comrades wouldn't give him such an important task.
Jiang Min's opinion was firm. Pei Zheng and Sun looked at each other and didn't say anything.
When Zhou Mingfang walked into Jiang Min's office, he saw that Pei Zheng and Sun Gan were there. He was slightly stunned, nodded to them, and walked in calmly. Secretary Jiang, are you looking for me?
If Jiang, we'll Fang, Mingfang, we Sun. Pei Zheng and Sun Gan stood up and turned to meet Zhou Mingfang. Pei Zheng smiled and nodded at Zhou Mingfang.
Comrade Mingfang, please take a seat. Jiang Min waved his hand and gestured for Zhou Mingfang to sit down. Pei Zheng and Sun Gan had already left. Jiang Min went straight to the point. Comrade Mingfang, I asked you to come because of Xing Tiande's case.
Zhou Mingfang's expression turned cold as he thought to himself. He had seen Pei Zheng and Sun Gan here just now, and Jiang Min had called him over at this time. He had vaguely guessed that it was related to Xing Tiande's case.
Secretary Jiang, if you have any questions about Xing Tiande, feel free to ask them. Zhou Mingfang was very clear about his own situation. He was not afraid of a crooked shadow. At this moment, Zhou Mingfang's expression was natural.
Jiang Min had been secretly observing Zhou Mingfang since the moment he spoke.
Seeing Zhou Mingfang's expression, Jiang Min nodded in his heart. He trusted Zhou Mingfang very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have supported Zhou Mingfang when the central government was investigating him. Seeing Zhou Mingfang's serious expression, Jiang Min smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to call you here. Xing Tiande's case will involve some officials in Sea City. You used to be in charge of Sea City, so you're familiar with the officials there. Now you're the organization minister in charge of the official hats …"
Zhou Mingfang listened quietly to Jiang Min's words. After he finished, Zhou Mingfang finally understood what Jiang Min meant. Due to Xing Tiande's case, there was a vacancy in the position of an official, but Jiang Min wanted Zhou Mingfang to be in charge of the selection and appointment of the newcomers. Naturally, the reason was as Jiang Min had said. Zhou Mingfang was now the head of the organization and had been in charge of politics in Hai City for so many years. Jiang Min wanted Zhou Mingfang to let him do it.
Secretary Jiang, Comrade Kunming is now in charge of the Sea City Municipal Party Committee. Should we let the Sea City Municipal Party Committee take charge of selecting a suitable cadre to fill the vacancy in Xi Men? Or should we ask for Comrade Kunming's opinion?
After all, Comrade Kunming has just arrived in Sea City and is not familiar with the officials there. I think you should be in charge of this matter. Jiang Min smiled and glanced at Zhou Mingfang, shaking his head.
In the evening, in an elegant private room in Jiang City Hotel, Governor Zhang Guohua and Zhou Mingfang sat opposite each other with smiles on their faces. They chatted happily with each other, but Zhou Mingfang's face showed a hint of melancholy.
Now that you're working in the provincial capital, the position of the organization minister is not as comfortable as being the king of the mountain in Sea City. Zhang Guohua glanced at Zhou Mingfang and smiled. Look at how worried you are. If you continue to work like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before your face has more wrinkles than mine.
Governor Guohua, it's not right for you to say that. Comparing me to the king of the mountain, people will criticize me if they hear it. Zhou Mingfang waved his hand and smiled. Although he denied it verbally, he had to admit that in Sea City, his position was really similar to that of the king of the mountain. No one dared to oppose his opinions because he was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. The provincial government rarely directly interfered with Sea City's affairs. He was indeed comfortable as the king of the mountain. Now that he was in the provincial capital and in the position of the organization minister, he was trembling with fear, as if he was walking on thin ice.
As the two joked, Zhang Guohua glanced at Zhou Mingfang. Zhou Mingfang obviously had something on his mind, but Zhou Mingfang did not take the initiative to say it. Zhang Guohua would not ask what it was.
Governor Guohua, Secretary Jiang Min called me over today and gave me a task, but I'm very worried. Zhou Mingfang glanced at Zhang Guohua and smiled bitterly. He did not intend to hide it from Zhang Guohua tonight. He was able to sit in this position today because Old Master Zhang had spoken up for him at the critical moment. Otherwise, how could he have been promoted to the provincial government when Xing Tiande's case was still pending? Of course, the most important thing was that he was innocent. The provincial investigation team had been investigating Xing Tiande's case for more than two months, and all the evidence proved that he was unaware of it.
What is it that is making you so worried? Zhang Guohua smiled faintly.
Sigh, it's because of Xing Tiande's case. Now that it has involved Chang Yong, the County Head of Ximen County, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has decided to take action against him. Secretary Jiang Min wants me to choose a cadre to take charge of the Ximen County government. This is really difficult for me. Wouldn't it be better to let the Sea City Municipal Party Committee handle it themselves? Zhou Mingfang grumbled a little.
Haha, Secretary Jiang Min is very meticulous. He is actually concerned about the appointment of a cadre in the county government. Zhang Guohua smiled thoughtfully. Jiang Min's move was very clever. He could say that he trusted Zhou Mingfang and was testing him at the same time. It was no wonder that Zhou Mingfang was so troubled.
Since Secretary Jiang Min trusts you, you should boldly use the people you want. You can't give up eating for fear of choking. You are now the head of the organization, and the selection and assessment of cadre is your responsibility. At this critical moment, you really can't flinch.
It should be said that you have taken over a hot potato. Zhou Mingfang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
If I remember correctly, Ximen County should be considered a poor place in Sea City, right?
That's right. Among the five districts, six counties, and three cities in Sea City, two counties are relatively backward. Ximen County is one of them. The other counties, districts, and cities have developed very fast in recent years, which is why Sea City now ranks first in the province in terms of economic output. Zhou Mingfang nodded, feeling both surprised and impressed. Zhang Guohua had not been in Jianghai Province for long, but he could even remember the districts and counties of the prefecture-level cities below him. He even knew the economic development situation so clearly. It could be seen that Zhang Guohua had put in a lot of effort.
If the economy is lagging behind, you can select a cadre with drive, pioneering, and innovative spirit. Now that the country has implemented the policy of making the cadre younger, I think you can choose a young cadre. Since Secretary Jiang Min asked you to do it, you don't have to worry so much.
Choose a young cadre? That's possible. Zhou Mingfang frowned and picked up the teacup to take a sip. Zhang Guohua's words had obviously moved him.
What do you think of Chen Xing? Zhang Guohua seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said.
What? Chen Xing? Zhou Mingfang swallowed hard and almost spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk. He coughed uncomfortably and turned his head to look at Zhang Guohua suspiciously. Governor Guo Hua, you're joking a little too much.
Who said I was joking with you? I'm serious. Zhang Guohua smiled and shook his head. What do you think of Chen Xing?
Chen Xing has a good character, but I'm afraid it's a bit uncertain to ask him to preside over the work of a county. Zhou Mingfang shook his head. Chen Xing used to work in the government department. I'm worried that he can't take on this heavy responsibility.
Zhou Mingfang didn't agree with Zhang Guohua's proposal. In addition to the fear that Chen Xing had no experience, the most important thing was that Chen Xing was his secretary. It was normal to promote one's secretary in the officialdom. However, Xing Tiande's case had happened, and Jiang Min had asked him to select this cadre to fill the vacancy in Ximen County. If he really chose Chen Xing, what would Jiang Min think of him? Zhou Mingfang was more worried about this. At this juncture, Zhou Mingfang didn't dare to make such a bold move.
You're worried about Secretary Jiang Min's opinion, aren't you? Zhang Guohua glanced at Zhou Mingfang with a smile and hit the nail on the head.
Nothing can be hidden from you, Governor Guo Hua. Zhou Mingfang sighed. At this time, I'm really worried that Secretary Jiang Min will have other ideas. He just took office and appointed people through nepotism. How can Secretary Jiang Min not have other ideas?
In fact, you don't have to think that way. You can think that Secretary Jiang Min let you do this. You know that Secretary Jiang Min is secretly watching your actions, but you still dare to use your own people. This also shows that you have a clear conscience. Zhang Guohua said with a smile.
Governor Guo Hua, your explanation is too far-fetched. It's strange that Secretary Jiang Min will think that way. Zhou Mingfang smiled disapprovingly.
Maybe. Zhang Guohua said with a smile. What he said just now was purely a joke. After a moment of silence, Zhang Guohua said again, "Well, I'll go to junior high school and talk to Secretary Jiang Min about this. My father has always said that he still owes Chen Xing a favor. This time, our Zhang family will return the favor.
Let the brother from junior high school go? Zhou Mingfang was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew who the junior high school Zhang Guohua was talking about was. It was the second son of the Zhang family, Zhang Guohua's brother. Zhang Guohua's suggestion made Zhou Mingfang a little confused.
Hehe, you don't know this. He didn't go into politics in middle school, but he had a lot of friends from all walks of life. He often angered the old man half to death. He knew Secretary Jiang Min, and I occasionally heard him talk about it. I don't know how he knew Secretary Jiang Min. Zhang Guohua said with a bitter smile. He was also very helpless when it came to his second brother. He doesn't like politics, but he has a lot of friends.
With the help of his junior high school brother, there will definitely be no problem. Zhou Mingfang nodded with a smile. Zhang Guozhong is not in politics, but Zhou Mingfang is very confident in him. However, I'm afraid that Chen Xing is a little young. I'm really worried that he won't be able to shoulder this responsibility.
You will know if you are a donkey or a horse. A greenhouse can't nurture flowers that can withstand the test. You must let the younger comrades go out to train. This way, you can nurture talents. But you can let Chen Xing take charge of the County Government as the Deputy County Head first. This way, you can see if he is capable.
The next day, when Chen Xing was still preparing the files that Zhou Mingfang wanted to read, he was unexpectedly called into the office by Zhou Mingfang.
Chen Xing, have you considered changing your job? Zhou Mingfang looked at Chen Xing with a smile and sighed in his heart. It was good to be young. When he was 28 years old, he was still in the office. It was only when he was almost 30 years old that he had the opportunity. He had gone through many trials and tribulations. Other than the appreciation of the leaders, he had also relied on his own ability and hard work to get to where he was today. However, Chen Xing was much luckier than him. He had encountered the opportunity early on. It all depended on whether he could be supported or not.
Changing my job? Chen Xing was shocked. He thought that Zhou Mingfang didn't want him to be a secretary, so he hurriedly said, Secretary Zhou, I still hope to work by your side. I can learn a lot by following you.
Hehe, look at how you flatter me. Zhou Mingfang smiled and nodded at Chen Xing. You can be my secretary, but you can't be a secretary all your life. If you want to make a difference in your career, you have to jump out of the position of a secretary to have more room for development.
Chang Yong, the county head of Ximen County, is involved in Xing Tiande's case. Now the county head of Ximen County is vacant. The organization is considering sending you to take up this important task. How about it? Are you confident?
Lord … Take charge of the county government? Chen Xing's tongue was stuck, and he actually stuttered.
Yes, take charge of the county government.
Secretary Zhou, I accept the organization's arrangement. Chen Xing had already reacted. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing.
But don't be too happy too early. I'm letting you take charge of the county government as the deputy county head. If you don't pass the examination paper, you can be removed at any time. How about it? Do you have any objections? Zhou Mingfang smiled.
