Sun Xiang dialed the phone number of Feng Botao, secretary of the municipal party committee, but the office landline was not connected, so he hesitated for a moment, but still dialed Feng Botao's mobile phone again.

In Mayor Ma Liguo's office, Feng Botao was actually talking about Zhou Nan's appointment in Ma Liguo, and when he received a call from Sun Xiang, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, "Old Ma, Sun Xiang's phone, I asked him to hurry up and contact Zhou Nan last night, and only now did he call me back, it seems that the situation is a little complicated......"

Ma Liguo smiled and nodded to Feng Botao to answer the phone first.

Feng Botao pressed the answer button and said "um" lightly.

Sun Xiang hurriedly smiled respectfully, "Secretary Feng, I am Sun Xiang from Ningshan, I reported something to the leader, I don't know if it is convenient for the leader to speak now......"

Feng Botao said lightly, "Say it." I'm here with Lao Ma, just say it if you have something to say, don't waste time in beating around the bush. ”

Sun Xiang hurriedly smiled again, "Okay, Secretary Feng." That's right, didn't the leader ask me to contact Comrade Zhou Nan, I made dozens of phone calls last night but couldn't get through, and Comrade Zhou Nan seemed to have shut down his phone in Hong Kong. This morning, I contacted the Feiteng Group again, and wanted to contact Comrade Zhou Nan who was in Hong Kong through the Feiteng Group, but the other party also said that Zhou Nan's mobile phone was turned off and could not be contacted. looked for Lan Ruo again, and also said that the phone was turned off and could not be contacted temporarily. ”

Hearing Sun Xiang's words, Feng Botao was silent for a few seconds, and then said indifferently, "Okay, I know, you continue to contact Zhou Nan, and strive to inform him to return to the county to work as soon as possible, just say that the municipal party committee wants to talk to him and has important matters." ”

"Okay, I understand, Secretary Feng, then you're busy, goodbye." Sun Xiang hung up the phone respectfully and let out a sigh of relief.

Zhou Nan turned off the phone and didn't answer the phone, which is a bit abnormal. Once Zhou Nan goes out, it is turned on 24 hours a day, and it is convenient to contact the county at any time. Of course, this is also a necessity for party and government leading cadres to keep their communications unimpeded when they go out.

But Zhou Nan just at this time, the mobile phone was turned off and he couldn't be contacted. This made Sun Xiang feel that it must be related to the rumors that "Zhou Nan is about to be transferred to the secretary of the Mengjiawan Guangxian County Party Committee".

Since the secretary of the municipal party committee has paid attention to it, this shows that it is not groundless.

If Zhou Nantie is determined to go to Mengjiawan and does not answer the call from the county or city, there will be a sufficient reason. Sun Xiang was slightly disappointed, after all, Zhou Nan's energy is here, if Zhou Nan continues to work with him, the development prospects of Ningshan County in the future are promising. At the very least, there is no problem in continuing to bring in a few projects.

However, everyone has a personal political future, and Zhou Nan has the intention of being transferred to seek a higher position, and Sun Xiang thinks it is quite normal.

City.

Feng Botao put down his mobile phone, waved his hand a little angrily, and said, "Old Ma, this Ye Zhaoyan from Mengjiawan actually dug up our corner, damn it!" This guy likes to follow this crooked path since he was young, and he doesn't play cards according to common sense......"

Ma Liguo sighed and said, "The question now is that we don't know if this is Ye Zhaoyan who took the initiative to throw an olive branch to Zhou Nan, or if Zhou Nan himself is active and wants to be transferred." If it's the latter, we're afraid we won't be able to keep him this time. ”

Feng Botao's face was a little gloomy, and he was silent for a while and said, "Old Ma, do you think this kid Zhou Nan would be so unbreathable?" The city hasn't made a final decision yet! ”

Ma Liguo was silent.

"Meng Jiawan really wants to transfer Zhou Nan to the county party secretary of Ganguang County? This seems to have been over-promoted, Ye Zhaoyan is really crazy. Feng Botao gritted his teeth, "The cadre transfer was recruited by Ye Zhaoyan Chengren, and he actually took the position of secretary of the county party committee to attract Zhou Nan, and he was able to do it." ”

"Secretary Feng, the secretary of the county party committee may not be true, but it should be possible to give a district and county magistrate. Although Zhou Nan's group of cadres are nominally municipal management cadres, the files are in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has the power to transfer and distribute them...... If the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee supports it, it will not be difficult for Ye Zhaoyan to transfer Zhou Nan over. ”

Ma Liguo sighed lightly and said, "The problem now is that we have to contact Zhou Nan as soon as possible and ask for his personal opinion......"

"Nope." Feng Botao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to ask for any more opinions, we must start in advance, hurry up, and talk about Zhou Nan's appointment first." As soon as our appointment was made, it was too late for the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to be transferred. I don't believe that the young cadres who have worked so hard to train in our city will make a wedding dress for Mengjiawan in vain! ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Ma Liguo's eyes, and he smiled lightly, "Secretary Feng, what do you mean to ......?"

"Lao Ma, I immediately convened a temporary standing committee to study the candidate for the county magistrate of Ningshan County. This time, I will sing the leading role, you beat the side drum, and I will communicate with Chen Yan before the meeting, and we will strive to approve Zhou Nan's appointment today. The Organization Department is required to complete the process tomorrow to issue the appointment of the organization. ”

Feng Botao's eyes were blazing, and his voice was full of strength and rigidity. Ma Liguo's heart tightened, knowing that Feng Botao had already made up his mind.

Feng Botao is not a very strong secretary of the municipal party committee, he has a somewhat moderate style of dealing with things, advocating the golden mean, once his main strategy is opposed by other Standing Committee members, he will not immediately attack thunderous means, but often will adopt procrastination, use time for space, and finally achieve the goal.

But this time, under the "threat" of Ye Zhaoyan, secretary of the Mengjiawan Municipal Party Committee, Feng Botao finally had to use the authority and thunderous means of the secretary of the municipal party committee.

"Okay." Mayor Ma Liguo only said a short word "good", he has always obeyed Feng Botao's orders, even if Feng Botao did not greet him in advance, he would not stand up against Feng Botao's proposition.

………… At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee rushed to the meeting room of the Municipal Party Committee. In addition to Feng Botao, secretary of the municipal party committee, and Ma Liguo, mayor of the city, the other members of the Standing Committee were all present. There are a total of 11 members in the Standing Committee of the Ningnan Municipal Party Committee, and the number of standing committee members in the prefecture-level cities of Binhai Province is relatively small, and some of the standing committee members of the prefecture-level cities are around 123.

Dong Lixian, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Meng Jie, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, exchanged a complicated look. Then Dong Lixian smiled at Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, "Old Chen, did Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma say that they would suddenly hold a meeting?" Is there a conference theme? I feel like this meeting is too rushed. ”

Sun Ziqi, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, also echoed and smiled, "Yes, why are you in such a hurry?" Suddenly, a meeting was about to be held, and Secretary-General Ma personally called me and said that I was not allowed to ask for leave, saying that Secretary Feng had given me. ”

Dong Lixian, Meng Jie, Sun Ziqi, plus Propaganda Minister Song Dejie, these four Standing Committee members don't know when they "walked" together, and put on a posture and posture of advancing and retreating together.

Chen Yan looked at the four people who were panting in the eyes of one nostril, and smiled faintly, "I don't know, Secretary Feng didn't ventilate with me in advance, but just temporarily said that he was going to have a meeting and had something to study." ”

Dong Lixian and the others sighed, and then didn't say anything.

It stands to reason that when the Standing Committee is convened, the theme of the meeting should be sent to the Standing Committee members in advance, so that the Standing Committee members can be prepared before they can speak and discuss. But this time, Feng Botao convened temporarily, and where was there that surname to ventilate them one by one. Even Chen Yan simply said a few words and asked for Chen Yan's opinion.

Although Chen Yan had a smile on her face, she was sneering in her heart. The reason why Dong Lixian's four people stood together and quietly formed an alliance (or that there was an alliance before but it has not been shown) is that in addition to fighting for political interests, it is nothing more than because Mayor Ma Liguo will take a back seat in the second half of next year. Ma Liguo is much older than Feng Botao, and this is his last term as mayor, and he will retire until the second half of next year.

There are many people who have a lot of weight, and these people are nothing more than aiming at the mayor's throne.

Even if he can't fight for it, he will also let his "allies" be promoted, so as to realize his political interests and enhance his voice in the core of high-level power in the city. This is the true mentality of Dong Lixian and others.

What these people don't know is that they are not the only ones who are aiming for the mayor's throne, so why wouldn't Chen Yan want to? It's just that Chen Yan is low-key and calm, and she hides her ambition very well.

Ma Jun, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary-General, smiled, "Secretary Feng and Mayor Ma are here......"

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw Feng Botao striding in with a serious face, while Mayor Ma Liguo was calm and calm, and his steps were calm, and there were no emotional fluctuations on his face and expression.

"Secretary Feng, Mayor Ma......"

Feng Botao nodded, sat down in his place, and then waited for Ma Liguo to sit down, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, everyone is here." The political commissar Lin of the military sub-district had something to do to hold a meeting in the provincial capital, but he could not come back for the meeting under special circumstances. ”

"Now we have a meeting. This afternoon, everyone was temporarily convened for a meeting, and there was only one agenda item, that is, to study the candidates for secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee and county magistrate. Minister Zhou of the Organization Department, you are here to announce the nomination of the organization. ”

As soon as Feng Botao's words came out, most of the Standing Committee members present were surprised, except for Chen Yan.

There is no controversy about the candidate for the secretary of the county party committee, and the county magistrate Sun Xiang will take over, which is something that has been passed last time, but the candidate for the county magistrate has been shelved for the time being because of the controversy. Could it be that Feng Botao has a new candidate?

Or...... Dong Lixian and the others suddenly remembered a small piece of news that had been circulating recently, and their hearts tightened: Is it because of this matter that Feng Botao can't wait to approve Zhou Nan's appointment?

The rumor that Zhou Nan was going to be transferred to Mengjiawan as the secretary of the Guangxian County Party Committee naturally reached the ears of these members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, but most people didn't believe it, thinking that it was just a smoke bomb - Zhou Nan hadn't even done it as a county magistrate, so how could he directly be the secretary of the county party committee? Isn't that!

But some members of the Standing Committee vaguely believe it, such as Chen Yan and Zhou Jilie, the head of the organization. Chen Yan is because there are people in the province who are well-informed and have heard a lot of rumors; And Zhou Jilie, because of his organizational work, also heard from the related household of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee that Ye Zhaoyan, secretary of the Mengjiawan Municipal Party Committee, not only found Kong Yan, the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, but also found another heavyweight provincial leader in order to transfer Zhou Nan over.

Organization Minister Zhou Jilie nodded respectfully and said, "Well, okay, Secretary Feng." Secretary Feng, Mayor Ma, everyone, I would like to announce the nomination of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee for the candidates for the secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee and the county magistrate. ”

"After a comprehensive investigation and study by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the consent of Secretary Feng of the Municipal Party Committee, Mayor of the Municipal Axe Horse and Secretary Chen of the Municipal Party Committee, it was decided to nominate Comrade Sun Xiang as the secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee, remove him from the deputy secretary of the county party committee and nominate him to be removed from the post of county magistrate; Nominate the deputy secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee and the executive deputy county magistrate as the candidate for the county magistrate. I would like to invite you to discuss and deliberate. ”

Zhou Jilie didn't drag the mud and water, immediately announced the finish, and then stared at everyone.

Dong Lixian subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to object, but before he could speak, Feng Botao, secretary of the municipal party committee, opened his mouth to express his position: "Before discussing, I will briefly say a few words and express my attitude. ”

Feng Botao's voice was very gloomy and powerful, contrary to his gentle and elegant performance.

"Ningshan County is now in a critical period of rapid development, investment promotion is in full swing, at this time, we must let the county cadres in place as soon as possible to ensure the stability and development of the county."

"Ningshan County, as a well-known poor county in our city and even in the whole province, has a good momentum of development since 97 years, and if it continues to develop according to this momentum, Ningshan County will become the first county in Ningnan to take off the hat of a poor county, and at the same time, there is great potential for economic development."

"Therefore, the allocation of cadres in Ningshan County is very important. Sun Xiang, a comrade who has been training for many years as director of the municipal construction committee and has served as a county magistrate in Ningshan for a certain stage, is familiar with economic work and county work, and it is appropriate and appropriate to serve as secretary of the county party committee. ”

"Comrade Zhou Nan, although young, is capable, energetic, principled and innovative, and more importantly, he is very good at economic work and has made great contributions to attracting investment. The appointment of such a comrade as the magistrate of Ningshan County will play an important role in the all-round development of Ningshan County in the next few years. ”

"Now from the central government to the province, they are advocating the younger generation of cadres. We must be good at inspecting and selecting some politically reliable young cadres to fill the grassroots party and government posts, so as to ensure the vitality and healthy structure of the city's cadre ranks. ”

"That's my attitude. I agree and support Sun Xiang as secretary of the Ningshan County Party Committee, and Zhou Nan as the mayor of Ningshan County. Feng Botao said in a deep voice, "I hope that the comrades here can proceed from the overall situation and from the perspective of appointing people on the basis of merit...... Of course, any different opinions can also be raised. ”

Feng Botao said, his majestic and awe-inspiring gaze swept over everyone one by one, unusually strong. As soon as he said this, most of the Standing Committee members were taken aback, Feng Botao put on a tough posture of forcibly pushing Zhou Nan on the horse, and the implication was obvious, you have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree, that's it!

Dong Lixian gasped, and said in his heart, why is Feng Botao's attitude so hard this time?

He turned sideways and quietly exchanged a look with Meng Jie beside him, but he hesitated and didn't say anything.

Today's atmosphere is somewhat different from the past, and raising objections for political interests does not mean that we should openly break with the top leaders of the municipal party committee, because it will not benefit them in any way.

Ahem!

At this time, Mayor Ma Liguo coughed twice and interjected, "Well, I'll talk about it too." First of all, I agree with Secretary Feng's opinion. It was agreed that two comrades, Sun Xiang and Zhou Nan, should be appointed as the top leaders of the party and government in Ningshan. In addition to the points mentioned by Secretary Feng, I would like to mention one more point——"

"An important factor in the promotion and selection of cadres is to maintain the continuity of work...... It is no exaggeration to say that Ningshan County's current vigorous and upward investment promotion is the strength of Comrade Zhou Nan through his personal efforts, and several projects that are currently under construction or have been put into operation in the county, including the 1 million tons of steel project with an investment of 150 million yuan just signed a cooperation framework agreement, are basically the result of Comrade Zhou Nan's hard work......

"Therefore, in order to ensure the economic development of Ningshan County and the coherence of attracting investment, it is appropriate and prudent for Comrade Zhou Nan to continue to grasp the economic work and administrative work in the county."

"Also, I might as well reveal a little bit to everyone. Recently, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is considering adjusting Comrade Zhou Nan to work in Mengjiawan and serve as the county magistrate or even the secretary of the county party committee of Guangxian County! …… Why does Secretary Ye of Mengjiawan value Comrade Zhou Nan so much? Because Comrade Zhou Nan is not only a young cadre with vitality and ability, but also has a network background in the business field that ordinary people cannot imagine. ”

This is where Comrade Zhou Nan's greatest advantage lies. We must actively create a platform for Comrade Zhou Nan to give full play to his advantages. ”

"In two years, the total amount of continuous investment attraction has reached 6700 million...... It is impossible to change to any cadre in the city. Chen Yan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee next to him, also smiled, took over the conversation and said aloud, "Therefore, special treatment under special circumstances, I also think it is feasible for Comrade Zhou Nan to be promoted exceptionally." Moreover, Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee also publicly emphasized at a recent meeting of the Provincial Party Committee that it is necessary to promote and reuse young cadres like Comrade Zhou Nan of Ningshan County, so that they can give full play to their wisdom and talents and contribute to local economic development......

Chen Yan smiled lightly and ended her speech.

Feng Botao, Ma Liguo, plus Chen Yan, the top three leaders in the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee all expressed their attitudes, and Chen Yan even moved out of the spirit of Secretary Zhou's "instructions" of the Provincial Party Committee.

Organization Minister Zhou Jilie immediately agreed. Immediately afterwards, Ma Jun, secretary general of the municipal party committee, also raised his hand and nodded. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dong Lixian and the four of them hesitated for a long time, but they still slowly raised their hands to agree.

At this point, if the four of them still have to forcibly vote against it, it is not impossible, but in this way, it will collapse with the secretary of the municipal party committee, and at the same time, it will not help. Under the strong power of the secretary of the municipal party committee, this appointment will still be approved by the minority obeying the majority.
