On January 3, 2005, at nine o'clock in the morning, the Linfeng Municipal People's Congress was held in the conference room on the top floor of the hotel.

Liao Fanmin, who was wearing a navy blue suit, a white shirt, and a red tie, delivered a "Report on the Work of the Government" to the meeting in his capacity as deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and acting mayor, and a report of more than 12,000 words lasted one hour and 20 minutes.

When he walked up to the report platform, Liao Fanmin bowed to the deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference sitting below, as well as the people who attended the meeting as observers, and also bowed to the personnel on the rostrum, and then read out the "Government Work Report".

That is, starting from this people's congress, when the mayor makes a work report, he will first bow to the people's congress deputies and CPPCC members, and then start to read out the report.

Liao Fanmin, who read out the report, has a straight voice and a calm mood, and at the age of 27, he has such determination, and it has also become a topic of discussion among the people of Linfeng City.

When discussing the "Government Work Report", Liao Fanmin specially participated in the group discussion in Guanyun Township.

Unfortunately, it brought him disappointment, and the speeches of Liu Huancheng, a senior official of the township party, and Lu Biao, the head of the township, did not focus on the report, but sang praises of virtue.

Moreover, Liao Fanmin's participation in the discussion of the Guanyun Township delegation also aroused subtle emotions.

Everyone knows that Liu Huan, a senior party official in Guanyun Township, was originally going to be a member of the party group and director of the office of the municipal government, and Lu Biao would also be promoted to a senior official of the township party, but unfortunately this adjustment plan could not be passed, so Liu Huancheng and Lu Biao were still standing still, and it was Liao Fanmin who opposed this adjustment plan.

Therefore, Liao Fanmin's discussion with the Guanyun Township delegation was considered a move to ease relations with Sun Guozhu, a senior city official.

After all, Liao Fanmin has an unusual background and can directly ask for money from the province, and the Provincial Planning Commission also gave Linfeng City two high-end imported off-road vehicles, with such a deep background, they can fully compete with Sun Guozhu, but they took the initiative to abandon their previous suspicions and ease relations with Sun Guozhu.

The aftermath of the secretary's office cannot be completely eliminated, and the spearhead of public opinion will also turn at any time.

When the truth of the secretary's office meeting was just spread, many people thought that Liao Fanmin, who had just taken office, did not know the depths, wanted to compete for power, and worked against Sun Guozhu, a senior official in the city, and there must be no good fruit to eat.

But with the passage of time, especially after the successful resolution of the financial accounts at the end of the year, public opinion turned rapidly, and many people thought that Liao Fanmin was thinking about doing things, so there was a conflict with Sun Guozhu, who as a senior city official, should support Liao Fanmin's work, rather than suppress it.

At the National People's Congress, Liao Fanmin took the initiative to participate in the discussion of the Guanyun Township delegation, which made such discussions more common.

Sun Guozhu sat in his office with a pale face, smoking non-stop, and he only participated in one delegation discussion.

Of course, he knew about the rumors in the city, and he didn't expect things to go in such a direction.

Sun Guozhu recognized Liao Fanmin's background, and knew that he would not be able to shake Liao Fanmin in a short period of time, so it was better to do what Qian Dazhi asked him to do, so for a period of time, Sun Guozhu did not interfere in the work of the municipal government, especially on the issue of final accounts at the end of the year, and almost did not say anything.

Liao Fanmin's arrangement, Sun Guozhu is basically satisfied, the departments under the municipal party committee, the funds are in place, the discipline inspection commission, the organization department, the propaganda department, the political and legal committee, and even the United Front Work Department, etc., the funds have become sufficient, the municipal party committee office has solved the special needs of 1 million funds, which is equivalent to the small treasury of the municipal party committee, and the leaders of the municipal party committee can spend money from this money when they go out or need to handle something, without waiting for the financial solution of funds.

However, the discussion of the National People's Congress still made Sun Guozhu hold his breath, he originally planned to compromise with Liao Fanmin and get along in the future.

The discussion that appeared during the National People's Congress, Sun Guozhu thought that it was not so simple, and there were shadows of Liao Fanmin and Zhang Dengcai.

Snuffing out the cigarette in his hand, Sun Guozhu looked at He Siyao.

"Lao He, you also heard those rumors."

"Secretary Sun, that's all I heard."

"Tell me what you think."

"I think that Mayor Liao has basically gained a foothold in Linfeng City, and has also attracted some of the relationships, especially the funds for the later settlement, I have analyzed, it is not a necessary expense, but it is a key expense, the department under the municipal party committee, the funds solved this year are the most sufficient, and the relevant important departments in the city, the funds have basically been guaranteed. . . ."

Sun Guozhu nodded slowly.

"I didn't expect it, Liao Fanmin still has such a means, what does he want to do, to elevate me, a senior official in the city."

He Siyao looked at Sun Guozhu and spoke a little cautiously.

"Secretary Sun, I don't think so."

"What's not, look at the rumors in the city, the cadres below almost didn't name me."

"What you said is that the current rumors are indeed very bad, but I think this is all temporary, Mayor Liao has not been in Linfeng City for a long time, and he has won funds in the province to solve the shortage of funds in various units, so in a short period of time, there will definitely be a lot of applause in the city, which is normal."

Sun Guozhu's expression slowly became serious, and he nodded involuntarily.

"Well, that's a good analysis, and that's the truth."

"Secretary Sun, you see, Mayor Liao put forward one, two, three goals and tasks in the government work report, and then they need to be implemented one by one, I think some tasks and objectives, the possibility of completion is not very large, the basic conditions in the city are not good, and the results are not necessarily good."

Sun Guozhu nodded again.

"Lao He, what you said is right, Mayor Liao is young, from the province to Linfeng City, his blood is boiling, and he still wants to make a career, this can be regarded as a political achievement, but I don't know that Linfeng City's foundation is thin, and we must be down-to-earth in doing things, and we can't be ambitious.

"Secretary Sun, that's what you said."

"Okay, listening to you say this, I'm in a much better mood, so let Mayor Liao toss and see how long he can toss."

When he said this, Sun Guozhu stood up.

"You arrange a group discussion in the afternoon, brewing candidates, I want to go to each delegation to have a look, and I must further emphasize that there can be no problems in the election, and Liao Fanmin must be elected unanimously."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

At nine o'clock in the morning of January 6, the election officially began.

A red ballot paper and a blue ballot paper were distributed, and both ballots had only one name on them, one was an equal election for the mayor of Linfeng City, and the other was an equal by-election for the Yidu Municipal People's Congress.

The election was presided over by Sun Guozhu, a senior municipal official and director of the Municipal People's Congress.

At 9:40 a.m., Zhang Dengcai, executive chairman of the conference and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, reported the election results to Sun Guozhu.

Soon, Zhang Dengcai came to the rostrum, held the report in his hand, and began to read it out loud.

"This election should be on behalf of XXX people, but to represent XXX people, distribute XXX ballots, withdraw XXX ballots XXX, in line with the provisions of the election law, the election results are true and valid, and I would like to invite Comrade Sun Guozhu, a senior official of the city and director of the Municipal People's Congress, to announce the election results."

Sun Guozhu held the election results in his hand and began to announce them with a serious face.

"Delegates, this election distributed XXX ballot papers, recovered XXX ballot papers, of which XXX valid votes, invalid votes no, I announce that Comrade Liao Fanmin was elected mayor of the Linfeng Municipal People's Government with XXX votes, Mayor Liao was unanimously approved, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal People's Congress, I congratulate Comrade Liao Fanmin."

The applause rang out quickly.

Sun Guozhu then announced that Liao Fanmin was also by-elected as a deputy to the Yidu People's Congress with a unanimous vote.

In the applause, Liao Fanmin, who was smiling, walked onto the rostrum and shook hands with Sun Guozhu and Zhang Dengcai respectively.

Next, Liao Fanmin delivered his acceptance speech, which lasted less than five minutes from beginning to end.

The closing ceremony was held immediately afterwards.

The closing ceremony began at ten o'clock and ended at eleven o'clock.

The noon banquet was particularly sumptuous, which was not only the last dinner and additional meal of the People's Congress, but also to congratulate Liao Fanmin on his election as mayor.

Sun Guozhu, Liao Fanmin, Zhang Dengcai, and others held wine glasses and toasted the deputies to each table.

Liao Fanmin drinks very refreshingly, not to the end of the order, every table drinks a glass of wine, of course, the wine glass is not big.

The next day, he had to attend the closing ceremony of the Political Association, so Liao Fanmin could not go home for the time being.

During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, Liao Fanmin had no way to go home, Xu Wenqing and Shen Yaling both understood, after all, the city was going to hold a people's congress, and Liao Fanmin was elected as the mayor, but after the people's congress was over, Liao Fanmin had to take the time to go back.

After eating, Liao Fanmin and Zhang Dengcai walked towards the courtyard of the hotel together.

"Mayor Liao, congratulations, you were unanimously elected mayor."

"Secretary Zhang, I'm not so happy, this is the organizational procedure."

Zhang Dengcai smiled and stretched out his thumb.

"It's good that you understand, but you still have to pay more attention in the future."

After getting into the car, Liao Fanmin fell into deep thought, the rumors of the recent period, he must be clear, Sun Guozhu is old and spicy, he also understood, in this case, Sun Guozhu also participated in the discussion of each delegation before the election, and clearly required the successful completion of the election task in accordance with the requirements of the superior and the municipal party committee.

It seems that Sun Guozhu still has a city government, knows how to advance and retreat, and can grasp the key.

For Liao Fanmin, this is not necessarily a good thing.
