Chapter 3 Tough Issues
Located in the northwest of Central Plains Province, Bibei City is a county-level city under Tianyang City. In August, although it has entered autumn, there is a saying in the Central Plains that the autumn is a volatile, at this time the small city of Pibei City in the Central Plains is shrouded in the ravages of autumn tigers, and the weather is a little terrible and sultry.
Zhao Changfeng sat in the office, although the air conditioner was turned on to the maximum and the temperature was turned to the lowest, he still felt hot. To be honest, Zhao Changfeng really didn't expect that he would be sent to Bibei City as the executive deputy mayor, nor did he expect that he would face such a tricky situation less than a month after he became the executive mayor.
Zhao Changfeng was married on June 18. On 2 July, the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department's prefectural and municipal cadre offices went to the Commercial Department for inspection, and there were people above to take care of them, and Zhao Changfeng naturally successfully passed the inspection of the prefectural and municipal cadre offices. Then the leaders of the Department of Commerce held a meeting to study and adjust the cadres of the department, and naturally discussed who would replace Zhao Changfeng after Zhao Changfeng left. However, Zhao Changfeng has already greeted Jin Yuyuan, no matter who takes over the position of deputy director of the enterprise department, Guo Luming's position will move, from the deputy department to the main department, which is also Zhao Changfeng's promise to Guo Luming at the beginning.
At this time, Zhao Changfeng already knew that he was going to Bibei City, which was subordinate to Tianyang City, to serve as the executive deputy mayor. Tianyang City has five counties, one city and three districts, and is an economically underdeveloped area in the Central Plains Province, and most of the subordinate counties and cities are very backward economically. However, the exception is the city of Pibei, whose economic strength can be ranked among the top 20 among the 120 counties in the Central Plains Province, which shows its strong economic strength. Zhao Changfeng has read the statistics of Tianyang City last year, and the economic scale of one area of Pibei City accounts for 35 percent of the total economic scale of Tianyang City, and it can be said that Pibei City has a decisive position for Tianyang City. Zhao Changfeng was naturally very happy to be able to serve as executive vice mayor of such an important county-level city.
Zhao Changfeng knows that although the executive vice mayor of Bibei City is actually a deputy county-level cadre, the level is equivalent to that of the executive deputy county magistrate of other counties, but in fact, there are many differences in the middle. For example, if the comprehensive strength of Pibei City is strong, then there are many opportunities for the leaders of Tianyang City to come to Pibei City, and the leaders of the province will come to Tianyang City to inspect the work, and Tianyang City will definitely rank Pibei City in the first place in the formation of leaders. In this way, there are many opportunities for cadres working in Pibei City to show up and have more opportunities to contact leaders, and maybe one day a certain report, a certain project, or a certain measure will be in the eyes of the leaders, and then the opportunity for promotion is just around the corner. That is to say, compared with other districts and counties, Pibei City is a place where it is easy to produce political achievements and cadres, and the facts of the past ten years have also proved this, as long as the cadres who have served as the secretary of the municipal party committee or the mayor of Pibei City and other first- and second-in-command cadres have been reused. Take Tianyang City as an example, Yang Gang, secretary of the municipal party committee, once served as the secretary of the municipal party committee of Bibei City, and Wang Dakui, the head of the organization department, also served as the party secretary of Bibei City.
What makes Zhao Changfeng happy is not only the important surname of the status of Pibei City, but also the fact that the current mayor of Pibei City is Liu Guanghui.
Who is Liu Guanghui? Zhao Qiang's original secretary, Liu Guanghui, who called Zhu Lihong, president of North China University of Finance and Economics in the name of Zhao Qiang, was Liu Guanghui. Two years ago, Zhao Qiang recommended Liu Guanghui to be the mayor of Bibei City, according to the plan made by Zhao Qiang for Liu Guanghui, in another half a year or a year, Liu Guanghui will be transferred to a more important position, and then Zhao Changfeng, as the executive deputy mayor, is very likely to take over Liu Guanghui's position. Of course, whether or not you can compete for this position depends on Zhao Changfeng's own creation, after all, in Bibei City, there are still a few people ranked before Zhao Changfeng.
Of course, not all factors are favorable to Zhao Changfeng when he comes to Pibei City, and there is also a factor that is very unfavorable to Zhao Changfeng, that is, Cai Guohong, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Pibei City. After hearing that Zhao Changfeng was going to Beibei, Fang Tianlei had already investigated the situation in Beibei City in detail for Zhao Changfeng, and Fang Tianlei told Zhao Changfeng that Cai Guohong, secretary of the Beibei Municipal Party Committee, was Cai Guofu's younger brother and Cai Daming's uncle.
Cai Guofu's status at this time is not the same as before, he is already a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Plains Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Zhongzhou Municipal Party Committee, and is second only to Zhao Qiang in the ranking of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. In other words, if you don't consider the background factors behind you, Cai Guofu can be on an equal footing with Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Changfeng was obviously worried about this, but he couldn't tell Zhao Qiang that I had a conflict with Cai Guohong's nephew Cai Daming, can you help me change places? Moreover, although Cai Guohong is the leader of Bibei City, Zhao Changfeng also served as the executive deputy mayor in the past, only half a level lower than Cai Guohong's status, and it does not necessarily mean that Cai Guohong will eat him. What's more, Liu Guanghui is still serving as the mayor of Bibei City! What's more, Cai Guohong, as the secretary of the Bibei Municipal Party Committee, is not necessarily so petty, and he is embarrassed for his nephew's little trouble.
After the leaders of the Department of Commerce held a meeting to study and approve the opinions on the adjustment of cadres in the department, two days later, on July 20, Zhao Changfeng received an order from the Cadre Deployment Bureau of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, which simply read: "The Organization Department of Tianyang City, I hereby take care of the comrades who are transferred to work in your city's Bibei City, please make proper arrangements for the corresponding matters." Cadre Deployment Bureau of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. July 20, 1999. β
Zhao Changfeng didn't know much about the organizational procedures, and said in his heart that I didn't want to serve as a member of the Standing Committee of the Beibei Municipal Party Committee? Why didn't the Cadre Deployment Bureau of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee make this clear in the appointment? According to the usual practice, the executive vice mayor of Pibei City must be a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Bibei City, there is no doubt about this, but there is nothing written on the Cadre Deployment Bureau of the Organization Department, which makes Zhao Changfeng a little uneasy, I don't know if the things that Zhao Qiang promised have changed again, maybe just to serve as the deputy mayor below? But Zhao Changfeng didn't want to ask the comrades of the Cadre Deployment Bureau, so he had to hold the question in his heart and go back to consult Fang Zhenhua.
Fang Zhenhua listened to Zhao Changfeng's question, smiled, and told Zhao Changfeng that these things will not be clear in the appointment order of the Cadre Deployment Bureau of the Organization Department, but in addition to the downward adjustment of the order of the Cadre Deployment Bureau of ββ,the Organization Department, there are some other ways to communicate with the Cadre Deployment Bureau of the Organization Department. In your case, the director of the Cadre Deployment Bureau will personally call the head of the Organization Department of the Tianyang Municipal Party Committee. You have to remember that the appointment is a situation, and the main content is on the phone!
Zhao Changfeng listened to it and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that there are so many rules." β
Fang Zhenhua said to Zhao Changfeng earnestly: "Changfeng, this opportunity is very important to you. You have been staying in the provincial organs, and what you lack most is work experience at the grassroots level. At present, many cadres think that the grassroots level is nominally training, but in fact it is gilded. But you must not have such an idea, you must work in Bibei City for a few years in a down-to-earth and peaceful manner, and you will not be able to do anything without political achievements, but for you, you must take this experience as a rare opportunity to learn and exercise. Not everyone can have such an opportunity to learn and exercise, you must grasp it, you must grasp it! β
Zhao Changfeng put away his smile and said seriously: "Dad, don't worry, I won't embarrass you!" β
Fang Zhenhua nodded, waved his hand and said to Zhao Changfeng: "I believe in you!" Okay, Changfeng, you go and talk more with the girl. I'm going to go down there soonβ"
Fang Zhenhua was wearing reading glasses and picked up the internal reference on the table...... Fang Jiayi has an opinion about Zhao Changfeng going down so quickly. Where is there a separation after only a month of marriage? But Fang Jiayi also knew that she couldn't stop Zhao Changfeng, because this was really a rare opportunity for Zhao Changfeng. Fang Jiayi didn't know how to deal with this situation, and was pouting and sullen all day long.
Zhao Changfeng hurriedly persuaded Fang Jiayi softly, and assured Fang Jiayi: "Bibei City is not far from Zhongzhou City, and there is a highway, so I can drive from Bibei to Zhongzhou in more than three hours." Every weekend in the future, as long as there are no major events below that I can't get out of, I will drive back to reunite with you, how about it? Didn't people say, Xiao Beisheng is newlywed? β
As soon as the words came out, Zhao Changfeng knew that he had said something wrong. Sure enough, Fang Jiayi's eyes were red, and she bit her lip and said, "People are newlyweds, and we are newlyweds and have to part." β
Zhao Changfeng hurriedly hugged Fang Jiayi in his arms, and said with a calm face: "Jiayi, what is the parting?" No matter where you are, you will always be in my heart, and you have never been separated from me for a minute......"
"Phew!" Fang Jiayi took a sip of Zhao Changfeng and said, "You, you have a sweet mouth, and you know sweet words all day long to make me happy." β
Zhao Changfeng smacked his lips and said solemnly: "Jiayi, without practice, you have no right to speak." Whether my mouth is sweet or not, you will know after you taste it. β
Saying that, Zhao Changfeng's big mouth was already covering Fang Jiayi's delicate cherry lips. Fang Jiayi was caught off guard, and was attacked by Zhao Changfeng, laughing and scolding the hooligan, she gritted her silver teeth tightly and did not let Zhao Changfeng succeed, but more than a month of newlywed life has trained Zhao Changfeng into a kissing veteran, and his tongue moved flexibly a few times, and then knocked on Fang Jiayi's teeth and wrapped around Fang Jiayi's lilac tongue. Fang Jiayi still wanted to protest, but she only had time to make a sigh, and she was intoxicated by Zhao Changfeng's familiar breath...... On 26 July, Zhao Changfeng took the order of the Cadre Deployment Bureau of the Provincial Organization Department and reported to the Organization Department of the Tianyang City Party Committee. On the same day, the Organization Department held a ministerial meeting to study and recommend Zhao Changfeng as a member and member of the Standing Committee of the Bibei Municipal Party Committee, and reported to the Standing Committee of the Tianyang Municipal Party Committee.
On 27 July, the Standing Committee of the Tianyang City CPC Committee discussed and approved the proposal of the Organization Department of the Municipal CPC Committee. Subsequently, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee issued an appointment document and officially appointed Comrade Zhao Changfeng as a member and member of the Standing Committee of the Bibei Municipal Party Committee.
On 28 July, Gu Changfeng, director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, personally accompanied Zhao Changfeng to take up his post in Bibei City.
In the next week, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Bibei City held a meeting to appoint Zhao Changfeng as the deputy mayor of Bibei City, and then held an executive meeting in the next municipal axe, and unanimously passed the decision that Zhao Changfeng was the executive vice mayor of Bibei City.
The next task of Zhao Changfeng is to be familiar with the work, the superiors, colleagues, and subordinates, and of course, the old comrades and cadres who have taken a back seat but still have a great impact on the political life of Bibei City.
After a month of ushering in and going, Zhao Changfeng was basically familiar with the situation in Bibei City, and he was basically familiar with the work of the executive vice mayor.
This news surprised Zhao Changfeng and made him feel very uncomfortable. To be honest, Zhao Changfeng was uncomfortable not because Liu Guanghui was resigning, but because Zhao Changfeng felt that it was definitely not the time for Liu Guanghui to resign now. According to Zhao Changfeng's current qualifications, if Liu Guanghui resigns, the mayor of Bibei City will definitely not be his turn to take the position, then once others take the post of mayor of Bibei City, it will be very unfavorable to Zhao Changfeng. Not to mention that after other people take the position of mayor of Pibei, they will not give Zhao Changfeng a strong boost like Liu Guanghui, but after others become mayor of Bibei, they will definitely not leave office in another six months and a year like Liu Guanghui, maybe this mayor will have to work for three or five years, which will cause strong resistance to Zhao Changfeng's ascension. If Liu Guanghui leaves office or resigns for another year, it will be an opportunity for Zhao Changfeng, because a year or even half a year can give Zhao Qiang the opportunity to get acquainted with Beibei and have the opportunity to fight for the power of the upper position. But now, once Liu Guanghui resigns, Zhao Changfeng will definitely not have any chance!
Although Zhao Changfeng and Mayor Liu Guanghui both belong to Zhao Qiang's family, before coming to Bibei City, Zhao Changfeng had not dealt directly with Liu Guanghui, and the only time they met was the one that Zhao Changfeng met in Zhao Qiang's office seven years ago. Including this time Zhao Changfeng was going to Bibei City to serve as the executive deputy mayor, Zhao Changfeng thought that Zhao Qiang would call Liu Guanghui to the provincial capital and introduce the two of them to each other, but Zhao Qiang did not. Maybe the more at this time, the more you have to avoid suspicion? Zhao Changfeng really didn't know how Zhao Qiang thought about it.
