After the meeting started, the head of the Organization Department, Lu Jianhua, introduced the candidates who were qualified to be promoted to district mayor. Then, he proposed a list of candidates. His speech alone took up more than half of the meeting, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't give any suggestions for the Organization Department.
Yaozu Sun was the first to ask him, "Old Lu, what's the Organization Department's opinion?"
Everyone else looked at him. Li Rui was even more nervous. He was afraid that Lu Jianhua wouldn't say his god-brother, Li Ming. Although he knew that he couldn't help Li Ming, he still hoped that he could use this opportunity to advance. If Li Ming was promoted to district mayor, as his friend, wouldn't Li Rui's position rise as well?
Lu Jianhua rarely smiled, even though his smile was uglier than crying. "This … we can't be sure, because the candidates are all very good …"
Yaozu Sun didn't wait for him to finish and asked Song Chaoyang, "Chaoyang, what's your opinion?"
His words were plain and simple, but Li Rui could vaguely hear the flattery in his words. He thought to himself, Boss did me a favor last time because of Shuanghe County's County Magistrate, Luo Dawei. Could it be that I'm going to use this opportunity to return the favor?
Song Chaoyang said without hesitation, "The Deputy District Mayor of the Southern District …"
Hearing these words, Li Rui felt his blood boil. He was so happy that he wanted to jump up from the ground. He secretly clenched his fists, thinking that his painstaking efforts to pave the way for Li Ming were not in vain. Of course, he worked hard enough to get Boss's approval again and again. Now, it was time to reap the fruits of his labor, and Boss gave him a big sweet jujube to eat. He was going to be promoted … But, although he was excited, he didn't show any outward signs of happiness. He continued to take notes seriously.
Song Chaoyang continued, "Comrade Li Ming was the first to arrive at the scene of Lv Xingye's group confrontation. His performance was outstanding. He was calm, decisive, and powerful when dealing with the problem. He resolved the conflict in the shortest amount of time and effectively prevented the situation from worsening. He showed a strong sense of responsibility and good working ability. In the process of dealing with Sun Xiaobao's case, he was impartial, fair, efficient, quick, and capable. He also arrested the criminal and brought justice to the victim's family. These two things left a deep impression on me. In addition, as the Executive Vice President of the government, he is familiar with the work of the government and the environment of the South District. If he is in charge of the overall work of the South District Government, there won't be too much of a difference. This is very important in the current environment. Of course, this is only my personal opinion. It's not enough to be used as a reference. Yaozu, as the Mayor, the South District Government needs to report to you. So, we need to hear your opinion on this candidate. "
Sun Yaozu laughed and said, "This Li Ming you are talking about is really good. When we arrived at the scene of the incident, wasn't he the highest leader in the South District? Even the Secretary of the District Committee, Yang Huaze, only arrived later. He fainted as soon as he arrived. All the problems were left to Li Ming. Li Ming did a good job. I think this person is suitable. "
Li Rui was very happy when he heard this. The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee proposed that the Mayor should be reconsidered. If this was in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, it was basically a done deal. No one would have the guts to go against the Secretary and the Mayor working together. He was so happy that he wanted to call Li Ming to tell him the good news, but he could only force himself to hold back.
When it was Yu Heping's turn to express his opinion, he said lightly, "I don't have any opinion for now." Sun Yaozu heard this and checkmated him. He said, "Then you support Li Ming?" Yu Heping vaguely said, "For now." Sun Yaozu didn't let go, "For now? Are you going to change your opinion in the Standing Committee? " Yu Heping laughed and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes. If Li Ming doesn't have any big problems, then I will support him."
Yu Heping's ambiguous attitude rang an alarm bell for Li Rui. He had to go back and tell Li Ming to see if he still had any loose ends. He couldn't let Yu Heping, this old fox, get a handle on him. Looking at his attitude today, he didn't support Li Ming. But since the Secretary and the Mayor both supported him, he couldn't openly oppose. He could only play a dragging game. Maybe he would secretly send someone to investigate Li Ming. When the time came, if he really found something wrong with Li Ming, then Li Ming wouldn't be able to become the Mayor. He might even have to step down immediately.
Following this, Lu Jianhua and Du Minsheng also expressed their opinions. Without exception, they supported Li Ming.
However, even if everyone in the meeting supported Li Ming, it still couldn't be decided that Li Ming was already the Mayor. This was because the final decision still had to be made at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. The Secretary's Office didn't have the power to make decisions. It was only discussing the Standing Committee's agenda so that the main leaders could communicate with each other in advance. They wouldn't argue and kick the ball at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee again.
But then again, almost half of the members in the Standing Committee agreed. If they all agreed, then no one else would be able to make a big splash at the Standing Committee. Even if Li Ming wasn't confirmed to be the Mayor, he was almost certain that he would be the Mayor. Li Rui thought to himself. As long as Li Ming didn't have too much sh * t in his pants, he should be able to get the Mayor position. But in his heart, Li Ming was also wondering. Last night, Li Ming had said that a few members of the Southern District Party Committee had gone to the Mayor's house to deliver gifts. Logically speaking, those who received the gifts should speak up for the Party Committee members. Why did half of the members in the Standing Committee only speak up for Li Ming? After thinking about it carefully, Li Rui felt that the biggest possibility was that no one expected Song Chaoyang to be the first to speak up for Li Ming, and Mayor Sun Yaozu immediately reconsidered. Because of this, the rest of the members couldn't just say anything. Even if they wanted to say something, they had to wait for Li Ming to expose himself. If that was the case, then wouldn't Li Ming be in danger during this period of time?
That night, after Li Rui sent Song Chaoyang back to the hotel, the first thing he did was call Li Ming and ask him to meet up. Li Ming knew that there might be news on his side, so he nervously drove out. The two of them met up in the attic of a teahouse.
Li Rui pretended to be mysterious and said, "Brother, there's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Li Ming anxiously scratched his head and said, "Brother, don't tease me. Hurry up and say it. You know that I've been very nervous these past two days. I can't even sleep at night." Li Rui said, "I'll say it first, but which one do you want me to say?" Li Ming clenched his teeth and said, "Good news. Even if I'm unlucky, let me be happy first." Li Rui leaned over and whispered to him, "Today, there was a Secretary's Office meeting to discuss the candidate for the Mayor of the Southern District. My boss and the Mayor both mentioned your name. "Li Ming was immediately overjoyed and said," Really? " Li Rui put his finger to his lips and shushed him. Li Ming then became alert and looked at the door and whispered, "And then?" Li Rui whispered, "And then? If there aren't any problems, then we'll wait for the Standing Committee to approve it. "Li Ming was so happy that he stood up and danced around.
Li Rui gestured for him to calm down and whispered, "There's another bad news." The smile on Li Ming's face quickly disappeared and he said, "What is it?" Li Rui whispered, "Deputy Secretary Yu Heping doesn't seem to be interested in you. From the looks of it, it's either he's against you or he has someone else in mind. From what I heard, he might want to investigate you. " Li Ming angrily cursed, "F * ck, I f * cking …" Li Rui fiercely glared at him. Li Ming then lowered his voice and whispered, "Every year during festivals, I give him a lot of gifts. At this critical juncture, he dares to ruin my plans?" Li Rui sneered, "What's wrong with that? Actually, it's easy to explain. You're not his confidant. He has someone else in mind and it's in the Standing Committee of the Southern District Committee. "Li Ming was very frightened and said," Then what should I do? " Li Rui said, "If you haven't cleaned your ass then clean it up. If there's a problem then quickly cover it up. For the next few days, behave yourself and don't come out to see me. If there's anything, just say it on the phone." Li Ming frowned and thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this. Your brother's ass is still very clean. No one can find anything that can be used against me."
