Chapter 260: Raising Eyebrows

Chapter 260 Although the Riyadha incident of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee has passed, the impact on Bibei City has far subsided. Fu Gangting was transferred, Qian Zhaojun was shuanggui, and Zhao Changfeng was appointed deputy secretary of the party and masses in Pibei City, all of which meant that the officialdom of Bibei City was undergoing significant changes. All this may have little effect on the ordinary people of Pibei City, but for the officials of Bibei City, these changes are enough to affect their choices when standing in line.

The Spring Festival of 20001 came very early, according to the usual custom, the bell of the Spring Festival had not yet rang at the end of January, but this year, on January 30, it was already past the Lunar New Year, and I started to work.

For Liu Chi, this New Year is very bad, when he went to Secretary Ouyang's house for half a year, Secretary Ouyang did not have the original smile at all, and was very cold, as if Liu Chi was not a relative, but a trouble. Liu Chi knew that the incident of social security funds may have caused too much trouble to Secretary Ouyang, after all, in Central Plains Province, the incident of misappropriation of social security funds only happened in Beibei City. Although the local management of special funds was very chaotic at that time, and the leaders often embezzled them arbitrarily, but those who dared to attack the social security funds, according to the materials that have been exposed, are the first cases in Beibei City.

For Liu Chi, the nest is not only Secretary Ouyang's attitude towards him during the Spring Festival, but also the Standing Committee that has followed the first secretary's office meeting in Bibei City after the Spring Festival, which has made Liu Chi find that his control of Bibei City can no longer be as free as before.

After the Spring Festival, some changes have taken place in the personnel layout of Bibei City, among which the key things that need to be solved are two things: First, it is necessary to decide on a candidate for the secretary of the political and legal committee and report it to the Tianyang Municipal Party Committee for approval. Since Chai Gangchuan, secretary of the Bibei Municipal Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, had an accident, although Tianyang City appointed Qiao Laoshu as the director of the Bibei Municipal Public Security Bureau, he did not know what considerations he had, and he has not officially appointed the secretary of the Bibei Municipal Legal Committee. At that time, because Qian Zhaojun, deputy secretary of Pibei City, was in charge of political and legal work, although there was no secretary of the political and legal committee, the work of the municipal legal system in Pibei was still carried out in an orderly and step-by-step manner. However, with Qian Zhaojun being shuanggui by the Tianyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, there was a power vacuum in the political and legal system of Bibei City, and some problems arose in the coordination of work between the public procuratorate and law systems. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to solve the problem of the candidate for the secretary of the political and legal committee. According to the practice of appointing cadres, the Tianyang City CPC Committee should first solicit the opinions of the Bibei City CPC Committee on the selection of the secretary of the political and legal committee, and this is also from the angle of respecting the authority of the local party committee.

According to Liu Chi's meaning, it is best for the secretary of the Bibei Municipal Legal Committee to be appointed by Qiao Laoshu, director of the Public Security Bureau, and Qiao Laoshu is also a cadre who has been transferred in, and he has no roots in Pibei City, so he regards Liu Chi, secretary of the municipal party committee, as his backbone in his regular work, and takes Liu Chi as the leader. Liu Chi has only one principle for appointing cadres, that is, to see whether this cadre is obedient and easy to use, and now Qiao Laoshu is in line with his principle of appointing cadres, so he plans to let Qiao Laoshu serve as the secretary of the Bibei Municipal Law Committee, and then become a member of the Standing Committee of the Bibei Municipal Party Committee, which is very helpful to enhance Liu Chi's authority that was weakened after the Riyadha incident.

But things are far from being as simple as Liu Chi imagined. At the secretary's office meeting, Zhao Changfeng proposed another candidate for the secretary of the Bibei Municipal Legal Committee, that is, Han Jiasen, president of the procuratorate. What surprised Liu Chi even more was that Deputy Secretary Bao Tailong and Bai Guoqing unanimously supported Zhao Changfeng's opinions, so at the secretary's office meeting, a one-to-three situation was formed, Liu Chi supported Qiao Laoshu as the secretary of the Bibei Municipal Legal Committee, but the three deputy secretaries overwhelmingly supported Han Jiasen as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

This situation is the biggest crisis that has occurred since Liu Chi took office as the leader of the leadership group of Beibei City, and Liu Chi naturally cannot back down. He understands that in officialdom, it has always been either the east wind that overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind that overpowers the east wind, it doesn't matter if he retreats this time, the important thing is that after he retreats this time, I'm afraid that Zhao Changfeng will gain an inch, and he will bargain with Liu Chi on future issues, leaving no room for Liu Chi.

So Liu Chi can't back down, although he is at a disadvantage in the secretary's office meeting, but the problem is discussed at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and it is difficult to say what the result is. Regarding various possible surnames, Liu Chi has already analyzed, he has already lost at the secretary's office meeting, and it is a big deal to lose at the Standing Committee, as far as he is concerned, he has not lost anything, but has one more opportunity. If they win at the Standing Committee, won't this blow the arrogance of several deputy secretaries and make them understand whose world is in Pibei City, and who is in charge?

In addition to Hao Daming, minister of the People's Armed Forces Department, and Zhang Yilei, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, other Standing Committee members unanimously supported Zhao Changfeng's opinion, believing that Han Jiasen, president of the procuratorate, was the most suitable candidate for the post of secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

This voting result is tantamount to a fiasco for Liu Chi, he really didn't expect that Zhao Changfeng would have such a great influence in the Standing Committee, isn't it just that he was promoted from the Standing Committee to the deputy secretary in charge of the work of the party and the masses, why does Zhao Changfeng have so much energy?

Liu Chi couldn't figure it out, and Zhao Changfeng couldn't figure it out, he didn't expect that his proposal to support Han Jiasen would get so many responses at the Standing Committee.

Deputy Secretary Bao Tailong and Bai Guoqing supported Zhao Changfeng, which Zhao Changfeng had thought of in advance. Bao Tailong and Fu Gangting have a good relationship, before Fu Gangting left Beibei City, he invited Bao Tailong, Lu Dawei and Zhao Changfeng to the teahouse to drink tea, this is the first time Zhao Changfeng has had a small-scale party with Bao Tailong and Lu Dawei in private. In this gathering, Fu Gangting said a lot of good things about Zhao Changfeng, and Zhao Changfeng understood that Fu Gangting was actually matching Bao Tailong and Lu Dawei to stand with Zhao Changfeng.

For Lu Dawei, he must seize this opportunity, in addition to his good personal relationship with Fu Gangting, to deal with the old leader of Fu Gangting, to obey his words, knowing that the old leader will not harm him, there is another factor, that is, Zhao Changfeng is an officialdom advantage potential stock, compared with other leaders in Bibei City, Zhao Changfeng's age advantage is too prominent, and the future development prospects are unlimited, officialdom has always been like this, rather bullying the old than bullying the young. Although the young cadres seem to have nothing now, who knows what kind of development results will be in the future? So when Fu Gangting pulled the line up, Lu Dawei immediately leaned up. Facts also proved that Lu Dawei's choice was not wrong, because within a few days, the Tianyang Municipal Party Committee issued an appointment document, and Zhao Changfeng became the deputy secretary and became Lu Dawei's boss, in charge of the work of the party and the masses, that is to say, Lu Dawei's future lifeblood is in the hands of Zhao Changfeng.

Although Bao Tailong is the deputy secretary, his psychology is similar to that of Lu Dawei, and he values Zhao Changfeng's development potential, especially Zhao Changfeng's vision and wisdom. In the Riyadha incident, Zhao Changfeng's ability to deal with problems was exposed, allowing Bao Tailong to see that Zhao Changfeng not only has an advantage in age, but more importantly, an advantage in ability, coupled with Zhao Changfeng's looming tough background, an alliance with such a person will definitely not suffer in the future. Especially when Bao Tailong saw that Zhao Changfeng could be so magnanimous to a former political opponent like Gangting, then of course it would only be better for his political allies. Compared with Zhao Changfeng, Liu Chi seems too unkind, taking the Riyadha incident as an example, the final responsibility is almost all borne by Fu Gangting, what good end can he end up with such a person?

Bao Tailong and Lu Dawei originally belonged to Fu Gangting's family, but now they are following Zhao Changfeng. Bai Guoqing, deputy secretary in charge of urban construction, and Qin Xiaoming, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, admired Zhao Changfeng's personality, and usually supported Zhao Changfeng openly and secretly at the Standing Committee, but now that the situation has changed, of course, they will not hide their views and openly support Zhao Changfeng. And the Minister of Propaganda, Ren Wensheng, has always been a wall-to-wall grass, who has great power will support whom, in this case, he must choose to follow the crowd. Of course, Fu Gangting's experience is also a very profound lesson for Ren Wensheng, Ren Wensheng doesn't want to become the second Fu Gangting, thrown out by Liu Chi at a critical moment, and become his shield and scapegoat.

Liu Chi was greatly disappointed by the results of the vote at the Standing Committee of the Beibei City, and Han Jiasen, chief procurator of the procuratorate, became the candidate for political and legal secretary with an absolute advantage; Liu Chi originally wanted to play a trick and show his opinions when reporting to the Tianyang City Party Committee; after all, he was the squad leader of the leading group of the Beibei City, and the Tianyang City CPC Committee still had to respect his opinion as the squad leader when appointing cadres. But it was also Qiao Laoshu who was not angry, just in time to catch up with two headless murders in Bibei City, there was no way to investigate, Qiao Laoshu was criticized by the higher-level public security organs, at this time Liu Chi nominated Qiao Laoshu as the secretary of the Bibei Municipal Law is obviously inappropriate, so the final result of the struggle Zhao Changfeng's opinion was victorious, and Han Jiasen, the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate, was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Pibei City, and grasped the leadership of the political and legal system of Pibei City.

After a year and a half in Pibei City, Zhao Changfeng finally raised his eyebrows in Bibei City and felt that he was in control.
