At around three o 'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing suddenly received a call to the Municipal Party Committee for a meeting. The Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Liansheng, and the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, Chen Jindong, were going to the Municipal Party Committee. There was something important to announce. Therefore, not only Chen Xing, but all the officials at the divisional level and above in the city received the notice almost at the same time.
When he left the office and was about to go downstairs, Chen Xing bumped into Shao Huadong. The two of them chatted as they went downstairs. They were guessing who would be transferred to the Provincial Party Committee again. Moreover, it was obvious that they had something to do with the organization's personnel. Who would be transferred again? Chen Xing, who had received some information from Tan Zheng, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, secretly thought that Tan Zheng's words might really come true. Ge Jian-Ming would probably take over Tan Zheng's baton and become the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Otherwise, there would not be a Deputy Secretary and Organization Minister in the province.
Shao Huadong did not have much contact with Tan Zheng, so he did not know what Tan Zheng had said. However, Tan Zheng's transfer had already been announced. The position of the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was still vacant. Shao Huadong had the same guess as Chen Xing, but he was not as sure as Chen Xing. Unless it was Ge Jian-Ming, the provincial government would not send such a powerful team.
If Mayor Chen and Secretary Jian-Ming were really transferred, the situation would be interesting. After going downstairs, Shao Huadong whispered to Chen Xing before he got in the car.
He did not know if it was about this, but he would find out later. This time, the provincial government did not leak any information in advance. They had really blocked the news. Chen Xing frowned slightly. If it was really about Ge Jian-Ming's transfer, it was rare that the main leaders of the city did not get any information in advance.
That's right. We will find out later. Shao Huadong nodded and looked at Chen Xing. They had a tacit understanding. If Ge Jian-Ming was transferred, it would be more advantageous than disadvantageous for them.
Without further delay, they got in the car and left the Municipal Government one after the other, heading to the Municipal Party Committee. Other leaders of the city, even those who were away, also rushed to the Municipal Party Committee after receiving the notice.
Chen Xing and Shao Huadong arrived early. The General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, Wang Jianshun, was arranging the meeting. Seeing Chen Xing and Shao Huadong, Wang Jianshun smiled and said, "Mayor Chen, Deputy Mayor Shao, Secretary Zhao, and Minister Chen are in Ge Jian-Ming's office. You want to go and have a seat first."
Hearing this, Chen Xing nodded indifferently and turned to walk to Ge Jian-Ming's office. Seeing this, Shao Huadong followed him.
In Ge Jian-Ming's office, Chen Xing heard laughter before he arrived. When he walked in, Zhao Liansheng, Chen Jindong, and Ge Jian-Ming were sitting separately. Listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were not talking about business, but something related to tea.
Mayor Chen Xing was here. Ge Jian-Ming saw Chen Xing and said with a smile.
Zhao Liansheng and Chen Jindong also nodded to Chen Xing, but they did not stand up. As senior leaders, they had the right to do so. Even if Chen Xing was the son-in-law of the Zhang family, they would not deliberately show it. Their respective factions had little to do with the Zhang family.
Secretary Zhao and Minister Chen came together. It seemed that they had something important to announce. Under the signal of Ge Jian-Ming, Chen Xing sat down with a smile. As for Shao Huadong, who came later, he could only sit on the sofa in the corner. Shao Huadong's rank was the lowest here.
After the discussion of the Central Committee, Comrade Jian-Ming will be transferred to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. We are entrusted by Secretary You Jun to convey this news. Zhao Liansheng smiled and glanced at Chen Xing's face. He did not hide Chen Xing's question. Anyway, it was the news to be announced later. It was okay to tell Chen Xing first.
Oh, Secretary Jian-Ming will be transferred to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Chen Xing was visibly moved. He had been mentally prepared for this, so his current performance was somewhat deliberate.
Yes, this was the Central Committee's decision. Chen Jindong said with a smile.
The Central Committee's decision? Go ahead and try your best. Chen Xing sneered at Chen Jindong's words in his heart. Tan Zheng told him personally that Fu Youjun recommended Ge Jian-ming to the Central Committee. Without Fu Youjun's strong support, he did not believe that Ge Jian-ming could be promoted. Of course, Chen Xing did not deny that the appointment of vice-ministerial cadres had to be discussed and decided by the Central Committee. However, the opinions and suggestions of local leaders would be taken into consideration. Therefore, Chen Xing was sure that Fu Youjun's recommendation had played a very important role. Chen Jindong, as the Organization Minister, had always been close to Fu Youjun. Naturally, he would lean towards Fu Youjun's side.
Secretary Jian-Ming, you are going to work in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Congratulations. Chen Xing congratulated Ge Jian-ming.
There was nothing to congratulate. After all, they were all working in Nanzhou. Ge Jian-ming squinted his eyes and smiled. He looked at Chen Xing meaningfully.
Chen Xing was also slightly startled. As if he had sensed something, he also looked at Ge Jian-ming. Their eyes quickly collided and then moved away, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Xing's heart tightened. He somewhat understood what Ge Jian-ming meant. Ge Jian-ming was telling him that although he was no longer the Secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee, he was still influential in Nanzhou. If Chen Xing had any ideas, he'd better put them away as soon as possible. Don't think you can do anything after Chen Xing left.
Indeed, they were both working in Nanzhou. Secretary Jian-Ming should come back more often to learn about the work in the city. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor Chen Xing, that's where you're wrong. I'm no longer the Secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee. I can't say too much about the matters of Nanzhou City. Otherwise, people will criticize me on my back and scold me for reaching out without permission. Ge Jian-ming responded with a laugh. His words were very frank and seemed like a joke. However, it was hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Zhao Liansheng didn't say anything. Watching the two leaders of the city talking and laughing, a trace of rumination flashed across his eyes. As the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, he had always kept a low profile. He didn't have much contact with Ge Jian-ming, who was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Their contact was limited to normal work contact, and he didn't have much contact with Chen Xing. His relationship with Fu Youjun wasn't what outsiders thought it was. At this moment, watching Ge Jian-ming, who was highly valued by Fu Youjun, and Chen Xing, the son-in-law of the Zhang Family, secretly confronting each other, Zhao Liansheng found it interesting. However, he didn't show it on his face.
I think it's about time. Secretary Jian-Ming, ask the staff to see if everyone is here. Start the meeting early. Deputy Secretary Zhao and I have to go back to report to Secretary Youjun. Chen Jindong smiled. It seemed that he was here to smooth things over.
Okay, I'll ask the secretary to go and have a look. Ge Jian-ming nodded.
Ge Jian-ming said and called for the secretary outside. At this moment, the office fell into a short silence. Shao Huadong winked at Chen Xing when no one was paying attention. Shao Huadong was more concerned about who would take over the position of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee after Ge Jian-ming left. Would Chen Xing take over the position directly?
Ge Jian-ming's secretary, Xu Wei, walked in and reported that all the officials had arrived. The Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Liansheng, and the Head of the Organization Department, Chen Jindong, stood up and prepared to go to the meeting room. The purpose of their visit was to announce the personnel transfer of Ge Jian-ming on behalf of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee. After the announcement, they left without any delay.
Jia Zhengde, the Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee, was about to enter Ge Jian-ming's office. Seeing that the leaders were about to leave, Jia Zhengde quickly stood by the door. He had just arrived at the meeting room and saw that Ge Jian-ming and the other leaders had not left yet. That was why he thought of coming to Ge Jian-ming's office. As the former Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee, Jia Zhengde couldn't be more familiar with the Municipal Party Committee. Ge Jian-ming's office had become the place he frequented the most. Even if he had been transferred to the Municipal Government, it was not strange for him to come to Ge Jian-ming's office.
Zhao Liansheng and Chen Jindong were not familiar with Jia Zhengde, so they walked straight outside. Only Ge Jian-ming stopped for a moment, nodded slightly to Jia Zhengde, and finally followed Zhao Liansheng and Chen Jindong.
Jia Zhengde curled his lips and followed behind Chen Xing and Shao Huadong helplessly. He felt a little lonely. From the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee to the Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee, although it was a small step forward, Jia Zhengde felt that he was not as trusted by Ge Jian-ming as before. After all, he did not work beside Ge Jian-ming, and could not serve the leader as closely as before. The sense of distance between him and Shao Huadong was immediately revealed. Jia Zhengde felt a little helpless. The Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but his ranking in the Standing Committee was usually the last. Now that his ranking in the Standing Committee had moved up, he did not receive the trust of Ge Jian-ming. Jia Zhengde could feel that Ge Jian-ming did not treat him the same as before. Now that Ge Jian-ming was going to be transferred to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, although it was still in Nanzhou, the significance was completely different. The new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was still unknown, and Jia Zhengde felt that his future was rather bleak.
Jia Zhengde did not realize that Ge Jian-ming's trust in him had decreased. In the end, it was because of his terrible performance in the Municipal Government. Especially during the heavy rain a few days ago, Jia Zhengde had been drinking and having fun with the district officials in the farmhouse. After that, he even went to play with women. Because of this, Ge Jian-ming was really pissed off by Jia Zhengde.
In fact, if it were not for Ge Jian-ming supporting Jia Zhengde from behind, the one who would be punished internally would not only be Li Yajun, the Deputy Mayor of Anshun District.
In the large conference room of the Municipal Party Committee, except for some who could not make it in time, the whole city's cadres were all present. As Zhao Liansheng, Chen Jindong, and the others entered, the conference room quieted down.
The meeting was presided over by Ge Jian-ming. This was probably the last time Ge Jian-ming would be presiding over a city-wide cadres meeting as the Secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee.
Zhao Liansheng, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, made a speech on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee. Chen Jindong, the Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, read out the decision of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee. Ge Jian-ming would no longer be a member of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee, Standing Committee, and Secretary, but would be transferred to the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
As Chen Jindong announced the decision of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, the whole conference room was filled with whispers and discussions. For most of the cadres, they had not heard much news before, so when they suddenly heard the appointment notice, they were more or less surprised. But if they thought about it carefully, this kind of transfer was not strange. Ge Jian-ming had been in charge of Nanzhou for five or six years, so it seemed reasonable for him to move his position.
The new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was not announced at the meeting. Ge Jian-ming's departure had already been announced. For the vast majority of Nanzhou's middle and senior cadres, they were undoubtedly more concerned about the new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. This was the matter that was directly related to them. Many people's eyes fell on Chen Xing.
Mayor Chen, this time, I'm afraid you also have a chance to fight for it. Shao Huadong sat next to Chen Xing and whispered. He thought that since the Provincial Party Committee had not announced the candidate, and there was no news about it, it was likely that the decision had not been made yet. Then Chen Xing might have a chance to fight for it. If Chen Xing took the position, for a cadre like him who was close to Chen Xing, the benefits were obvious.
This matter is not reliable. I'd better focus on my own work. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head slightly. He had only been transferred to Nanzhou for less than a year. How could the position of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary not fall to him? Nanzhou was a provincial capital city, and it was customary for the Municipal Party Committee Secretary to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. If he directly took the position, then he might become the target of public criticism. As a deputy ministerial cadre in his early thirties, it would be strange if Chen Xing did not become famous. Although he was a young departmental cadre, at least he was not that eye-catching. If he really took the position this time, he would definitely be in the eye of the storm. Even the Zhang family would not support him at this time.
What a pity. Hearing Chen Xing's words, Shao Huadong frowned and could only shake his head in the end. He knew Chen Xing's scruples, but after thinking about it, it was normal. Chen Xing was indeed not suitable to fight for it now. His qualifications and background were lacking.
When Nanzhou held a city-wide cadre meeting, Deng Yi, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, just came out of the office of Fu Youjun, the head of the Provincial Party Committee. In the office, Deng Yi still looked mature and prudent. When he came out of Fu Youjun's office, there was a rare look of joy on his face. His joy was overflowing with words, which was rarely seen on Deng Yi, who was usually very cautious in the Provincial Party Committee.
Walking briskly back to his office, Deng Yi closed the door and directly hummed a tune. He even pinched his fingers like an orchid and gestured the opera tune he was humming, which was both beautiful and beautiful.
Deng Yi hadn't been so happy for a long time. The last time he was so excited was when he was transferred from the Tongnan Municipal Party Committee to the Provincial Party Committee. Yes, Deng Yi didn't remember wrongly. At that time, he was promoted from the main department level to the deputy minister level. Even though he had experienced ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for a few nights.
This time, Deng Yi's work was going to be transferred again. Just now, it was Fu Youjun who personally talked to him. The meaning of his words couldn't be more obvious. Fu Youjun expressed his support for him to go to Nanzhou to preside over the work. Nanzhou was the political, economic, and cultural center of the province. Fu Youjun's words placed great expectations on him.
Deng Yi knew that this was Fu Youjun's statement that he wanted him to go to Nanzhou. With the support of Fu Youjun, Deng Yi knew that this matter was basically set in stone. On the central side, Fu Youjun would certainly communicate well. There was no need for him to worry at all.
