In the conference room, Ma Botao's eyes wandered around, and finally stopped at Liu Tongshan.

"Minister Tongshan, you have been doing the work of the United Front Work Department for five or six years, and you can be described as experienced. You should have the most say in the recommendation of this new minister. ”

Ma Botao looked at Liu Tongshan with a smile and said, "I don't know what Minister Tongshan thinks about this?"

Listening to Ma Boyun's breezy words, Li Qingyun in the audience secretly muttered in his heart: Old fox.

Indeed, Ma Botao's move is quite sharp.

Everyone knows that Liu Tongshan was only promoted from head of the United Front Work Department to director of the Propaganda Department during his tenure.

Even if Liu Tongshan can't be regarded as his Ma Botao's person, at least in this matter, Minister Liu must be grateful to him.

When he stepped down as the head of the United Front Work Department, Liu Tongshan naturally had to think more about Secretary Ma's ideas.

Now that Ma Botao has clearly expressed his support for Mo Ruzhong, how can Liu Tongshan nominate others.

So Liu Tongshan quickly replied: "Secretary Ma, I agree with Secretary Qingyun's point of view. Director Mo Ruzhong has strong ability and simple work style, which is very in line with the positioning of the United Front Work Minister. It is the best choice for him to serve as the head of the United Front Work Department. ”

After Liu Tongshan finished speaking, there was a quiet in the conference room.

Indeed, he, a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee who has served as the head of the United Front Work Department for six years, has put forward very important opinions on this position.

Even if others are above Liu Tongshan, if they want to refute his words, they must weigh it carefully.

After Liu Tongshan made his statement, Xiao Jianguo, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and secretary of politics and law, and Wang Dajiang, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and political commissar of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, also expressed their opinions.

The two have always been relatively neutral among the Standing Committee members, and their words are somewhat vague.

did not support Mo Ruzhong, nor Liu Dong, who was proposed by Wang Zhongmou, almost abstained.

Judging from the attitudes of several Standing Committee members now, there are probably three people who support Mo Ruzhong, namely Organization Minister Ning Zhongshen, Li Qingyun and Liu Tongshan.

And those who support Liu Dong are Lu Feng and Wang Zhongmou.

In addition, Ma Botao, secretary of the county party committee, did not express his position. However, his views are undoubtedly in favor of Mo Ruzhong, and the Standing Committee members are well aware of this.

As for the opinion of Zhao Jinpeng, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate, it is not known for the time being.

However, in Li Qingyun's opinion, with his good relationship with Liu Dong, he should still support Liu Dong.

Four against three, Xiao Jianguo and Wang Dajiang abstained, and basically the situation is relatively clear.

After thinking about it secretly, Li Qingyun came to such a conclusion.

Just when Li Qingyun had just made a conclusion, Ma Botao smiled and said, "Okay, everyone's opinions have been almost expressed." Then let's not waste time, let's vote on the post of United Front Work Minister first. ”

"First of all, comrades who approve of Comrade Liu Dong as a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and Minister of United Front Work, please raise your hand!"

After Ma Botao spoke, Wang Zhongmou and Lu Feng both raised their hands firmly.

Obviously, although the two of them felt that they might lose this time, the words they said were like water spilled, and it was impossible to take them back.

At this time, you can only bite the bullet.

Ma Botao waited for five seconds, and only Wang Zhongmou and Lu Feng raised their hands.

Just as he was about to grab the fruits of victory, a man on the other side slowly raised his hand.

"I agree with the views of Comrade Lu Feng and Comrade Wang Zhongmou! Comrade Liu Dong has worked diligently and meticulously on the side of the government. Minister of United Front Work, he is absolutely competent!"

When this deep voice sounded, even Li Qingyun didn't expect it.

It was the county magistrate Li Shouyi who spoke!

Obviously, among so many Standing Committee members in the audience, no one would have thought that County Magistrate Li would have such an attitude.

Ma Botao, who was already preparing to win the first victory with the "local faction", suddenly felt a little panicked at this time.

You must know that the addition of two members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee in the county this time is the best opportunity for Ma Botao to show his strength as secretary of the county party committee.

He took great pains before, and even did not hesitate to let out the news of his conversation with Li Qingyun, just so that he could suppress Lu Feng and Wang Zhongmou in this matter.

After taking care of Li Qingyun's side, Ma Botao originally thought that the "first series of the development zone" should logically support his favorite Mo Ruzhong.

Who knew that now Li Shouyi actually made such a moth, and directly let his previous calculations come to naught.

When Ma Botao was nervous, Zhao Jinpeng, the executive deputy county magistrate, had already hurriedly raised his hand: "I agree with the county magistrate's opinion!"

Four votes!

Liu Dong, the deputy county magistrate who was not optimistic before, actually got four votes, which is really unexpected.

Lu Feng and Wang Zhongmou's eyes lit up at the same time, and their ecstasy was not concealed at all.

As for Li Shouyi, who single-handedly caused this situation, he didn't have any expression at all, just slowly snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then picked up the teacup and warmed his hands in the palm of his hand.

Seeing his action, Ma Botao, who was barely calm, moved the muscles on his face, and then spoke: "Comrade Liu Dong has four votes in favor, not bad...... Now, comrades who approve of Comrade Mo Ruzhong's appointment as a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and head of the United Front Work Department, please raise your hand!"

After saying this, Ma Botao was the first to raise his hand without the slightest hesitation.

Obviously, this person has already sensed the crisis, and if he doesn't show his attitude, I'm afraid things will really get worse.

Originally, I thought that after I resolutely expressed my attitude, one or two neutral Standing Committee members might change their minds temporarily.

However, when Ma Botao saw the expressions on the faces of Xiao Jianguo and Wang Dajiang, he knew that he was wrong.

Clearly, the two Standing Committee members have no intention of changing their neutrality.

Especially now that County Magistrate Li has also expressed the opposite attitude, they will not get involved in this competition.

Yes, this time the vote of the "United Front Work Minister" has turned into a real battle.

Although Ma Botao had the innate advantage of being the "number one", the three deputy secretaries, including the county magistrate Li Shouyi, all opposed his proposal and nominated the same person, which made him very embarrassed.

What's even worse is that after Li Shouyi, an important member of the "First Department of the Development Zone", Li Qingyun's position became a big question.

After all, when Ma Botao talked to him before, he probably didn't know Li Shouyi's attitude, and it was normal to say what he thought.

However, now that County Magistrate Li has made his attitude clear, if Li Qingyun, who has always been highly regarded by him, changes his stance temporarily, no one will criticize him.

Taking a step back, even if Li Qingyun abstained, he lost the competition.

Thinking of this, Ma Botao's face was iron-blue.
