Game 1: First defeat

Chen Jiewen presided over the meeting, and after the regular speech, she began to announce the two major topics of today's meeting, one is to discuss and vote on the nomination of the director of the Land Bureau, and the other is to deliberate and vote on the policy formulated by the municipal government to support 10 private enterprises. Of the two issues, the first one is okay and not too big, but personnel issues have always been the top priority, and it is also a crucial position for the director of the Land Bureau, which is definitely a must for the secretary and the mayor.

And we all know that this is the first move between Mayor Xia and Secretary Chen on personnel issues, and the outcome is related to who can better grasp the initiative in personnel issues.

Generally, if the secretary and the mayor reach a compromise, they can discuss it without going through the Standing Committee, as long as there is no objection from the heavyweight Standing Committee after the announcement, basically the Organization Department can talk and then issue a document. However, the fact that it had to be submitted to the Standing Committee for discussion only shows that the secretary and the mayor have not reached a consensus, and neither of them is willing to budge.

As a matter of fact, the Standing Committee will greet each Standing Committee member in advance during the discussion and vote collection in the NPC election, and then let the Standing Committee members lean toward their own position when voting. In fact, under normal circumstances, although it is said that the secretary has exclusive power, he will still respect the opinion of the majority, after all, the Standing Committee was established to specifically restrain the secretary's speech.

It is also not excluded that the secretary exercises the right of veto.

But basically under normal circumstances, no secretary would do this, because if more than half of them are in favor of another veto, it will definitely leave a very bad impression on the higher-level leaders, and a secretary who cannot control the overall situation and veto it with one vote will make the provincial leaders think that they will only act brutally and will only play tricks and will not unite the majority of comrades.

In the impression of the Standing Committee members present, Secretary Chen never seemed to use a veto. Secretary Chen cherishes feathers and pays great attention to his personal reputation. In this case, the competition of today's Standing Committee will depend on whose supporters there are.

Mayor Xia will definitely lose

Another municipal government's proposal to support ten private enterprises is even more optimistic, especially Chang Hao and Xu Fanhua glanced at each other, both of them showed contempt. Mayor Xia is young, impulsive, irrational, and what to do to support the policy of ten private enterprises is just nonsense. The reason why the private enterprises in Tianze City cannot develop, everyone here, except for Mayor Xia and Chen Tianyu, who doesn't know it?

If you support the other ten private enterprises, you don't cut off your own financial path, who will support it, and who will be stupid enough to make money yourself and let others earn it? Don't be kidding, don't make trouble, Mayor Xia, stop and stop, Tianze City in winter, there is little to do, when you have nothing to do, drink a little wine and sing a little song and then make a woman, what a good free life, what a good economic development. What can I do if I develop, I still have to do ** work if it's different? There is no one on it, and it is useless to develop it well. There are people above, you don't need to develop to be promoted.

"Next, Comrade Xu Xin will speak on the nomination of the director of the Land Bureau." Chen Jiewen directly threw out the first topic, according to the regulations, Xu Xin will announce the nominees, and publish the opinions of the Organization Department for the reference of the Standing Committee, after he speaks, it is a formal vote.

Xu Xin was still the same, and began to read according to the materials: "After the Organization Department listened to the opinions of the cadres and the masses and carefully evaluated, it is proposed to nominate Wang Jingluo, deputy director of the Land Bureau, and Jiang Tao, deputy director of the Bureau, as candidates for the director of the Land Bureau. Comrade Wang Jingluo is steady, has rich work experience, strong principle, has served as deputy director of the Land Bureau for many years, is diligent, conscientious, and has won unanimous praise, and he is honest and honest, strict with himself in life, and is a trustworthy good comrade, good party member, and good cadre. ”

The evaluation of Wang Jingluo by the Organization Department is not low, everyone has Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, Minister Xu still follows the pace of Secretary Chen, and Mayor Xia lags behind at the beginning.

"Comrade Jiang Tao has strong professional ability, strong youth, and excellent style. However, compared with Comrade Wang Jingluo, he has a slight lack of experience. "The relationship between Xu Xin and Xia Xiang has not progressed much, and it has not been approached because of the proximity of Zhang You and Xia Xiang, and the political complexity will not change because of one or two meals or one or two things that have interests.

Basically, I heard the conclusion of the Organization Department, and I still leaned towards Wang Jingluo. Xu Xin is also interesting, after speaking, he nodded at Chen Jiewen, and did not forget to nod his head at Chong Xia, which seemed to be an impartial position.

Xia Xiang's position on Xu Xin had long been expected, and he smiled at Xu Xin. Xu Xin didn't expect Mayor Xia to respond, so he couldn't help but be a little flustered, and then felt that his performance was a little too much, so he hurriedly regained his composure.

The second speaker was Pi Buxiu, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The discussion at the Standing Committee is generally not based on rankings, and only when the formal vote is made, there will be customary rules to be followed, but it is not completely certain, it depends on the style of the top leaders in various places, Chen Jiewen pays more attention to the big picture and ignores the details, and does not deliberately emphasize organizational discipline when the meeting is held, so the second speech is impatient, and it also fully reflects the close comrade-in-arms relationship between him and Secretary Chen: "Comrade Wang Jingluo, I have been in contact with him before, he is sincere and enthusiastic about his work, He treats his comrades as warmly as spring, and he has worked hard in the Land Bureau for more than ten years, and his hard work is high, if he does not serve as the director of the bureau, it will chill the hearts of a large number of old comrades. ”

"That's it, that's it, Secretary Pi said it very pertinently." Xu Fanhua couldn't wait to jump out, also to show his unswerving position, and he also deliberately glanced at Yang Jian casually, as if to say that today's two issues will inevitably fail, and following Mayor Xia is equivalent to getting on the thief ship, "Wang Jingluo is the best candidate for the director of the Land Bureau, and my evaluation of Comrade Wang Jingluo is four words: pragmatic and capable"

The second high score is evaluated, Jiang Tao's situation is very bad.

Pei Yifeng, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau, laughed: "What I didn't say is definitely Lao Wang." Lao Wang is a very reliable and courageous person, and my evaluation of him is two words: good"

Chang Hao smiled again: "Pei Ju, 'good' is three words, are you bullying us for not being able to count, or are you confused?" His laughter was very casual and relaxed, and he had a kind of pride of "talking and laughing, and the canopy was in ashes." Obviously, he had a complete grasp of today's victory, and he also thought that it would take no effort to get it, "Although you just counted wrongly, I still agree with your point of view, Comrade Wang Jingluo is indeed a good person." ”

Wang Jingluo voted three times, Jiang Tao almost became a foil, and no one mentioned it.

"I still support Comrade Jiang Tao, he is more pioneering." Chen Tianyu said nonchalantly, his momentum was very insufficient, and he seemed to have no hope that Jiang Tao would pass the appointment.

Yang Jian also said weakly: "Jiang Tao has a greater advantage, I still support him." Then there was no follow-up, not as usual, but also to point out the country and comment a few words.

Many people have seen the clues, Mayor Xia's family has signs of a comprehensive rout, Chen Tianyu, the first marcher, and Yang Jian, a loyal follower, are both lacking in confidence, how can others support Jiang Tao?

However, to the surprise of many people, Wu Mingyi suddenly had an impassioned attack: "Tianze City not only has the overall age of the leading group of the municipal party committee, and the average age is among the 13 prefectures and cities in the province, ranking first, but at the same time, Tianze City's economy was the second to last year, and the first to last year. Is it precisely because we are older, rigid in our thinking, and backward in our concepts that we have led to the embarrassing situation of Tianze City shouting slogans every year but not being able to take off the hat of poverty every year? ”

Subsequently, he changed his serious tone: "Comrades, even if Mayor Xia arrived, because of his youth, our average age was pulled down by several years, but it is still the largest collective in the average age of the leading group among the 13 prefectures and cities in the province. But obviously, many of us have not yet realized this problem, as soon as we promote cadres, we will hold on to the old concepts and traditions, and the first is that the older comrades are stable and mature, and they just want to be stable and mature without a pioneering spirit, and go directly to the nursing home, what kind of leader should they be? A leader is a figure who stands at the head of the tide, not an old thief who is old and does not die to block social development."

Many members of the Standing Committee, including Chen Jiewen, who were over 50 years old, changed their faces at the same time and cast angry glances at Wu Mingyi. Wu Mingyi's words were so hurtful, he simply directly uncovered the scar and then sprinkled salt inside, which was to slap the old comrade in the face without any affection.

To be old and not to die is to be a thief - to scold people too harshly

Lei Yida, the minister of the United Front Work Department, was the oldest, but he did not blush at all, but shouted loudly: "Okay, well, some key departments must reuse young people, government teams, municipal organs, and bureaus, all use bad old men like me, how to progress and how to develop?" To tell the truth, I sometimes feel that I am too old and should have given way to young people, occupying the pit and not is not a virtue, it is constipation, but my United Front Work Department needs old comrades to do well, but some departments must be handed over to young people, such as the Land Bureau, I am in favor of letting Comrade Jiang Tao come up, young people can be promising, I have never heard of the old man promising. ”

Wu Mingyi's words were sharp and spicy, Lei Yida's words were mocking and sarcastic, and the key Lei Yida also used himself as a metaphor, which blocked the mouths of many people who wanted to refute Wu Mingyi.

Chen Jiewen's face became more and more gloomy: "Don't talk away, don't compare randomly, no matter how young or old, it's not a problem." The provincial leaders are all older than us, so can it be said that if they do not have a pioneering spirit, they will not be able to lead us in great strides? ”

Xia Xiang smiled: "Governor Song is younger than most of the people here, and even Secretary Fan is not older than Minister Lei. ”

Chen Jiewen seemed to be choking on drinking water, and her face turned red: "Don't discuss irrelevant topics anymore, now it's officially voted on, and I vote for Wang Jingluo." ”

Xia Xiang did not show weakness: "I vote for Comrade Jiang Tao." When the secretary clearly expressed his support for Wang Jingluo, the mayor still proposed other candidates, which officially showed that the mayor and the secretary had an open difference.

Wu Mingyi also said: "I also vote for Comrade Jiang Tao. ”

The secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is endless: "I vote for Comrade Wang Jingluo." ”

As expected, although the debate was fierce just now, and Wu Mingyi and Lei Yida also made a big show, but the voting result was not surprising Wang Jingluo won, with 8 votes, and the supporters were in addition to Chen Jiewen and Pi Buxiu, the other members of the Standing Committee were Xu Fanhua, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, Xu Xin, director of the Organization Department, Pei Yifeng, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, Chang Hao, director of the Propaganda Department, Leng Yang, commander of the military division, and Hu Yongchao, secretary of the Dongqiao District Party Committee.

From this, it can be concluded that the municipal party committee of Tianze City, with Mayor Xia's attitude becoming clearer, the division of forces has begun to take shape, at least it shows that on personnel issues, the above people are still on Chen Jiewen's side.

Even Yang Jian was puzzled and secretly worried, Mayor Xia knew that he couldn't pass the Standing Committee, why did he have to submit it to the Standing Committee for discussion, wasn't it self-inflicted? Looking at Secretary Chen's faintly happy look, as well as the sarcastic smile on the corner of Xu Fanhua's mouth, Pei Yifeng's smugness of leaning the seat and his contemptuous expression, all showed that this failure had dealt a great blow to Mayor Xia's prestige

Not to mention whether to notify the second topic in the next step, it is the failure of the first trick, which will have an impact on Mayor Xia's authority for a long time.

Not to mention that Yang Jian was puzzled, even Lei Yida looked at Xia Xiang several times in confusion, seeing that Xia Xiang still looked determined, he didn't understand that he had already lost, what else could he calm down?

Chen Jiewen thought that Xia Xiang had a strong wrist, but it turned out to be nothing more than that, and she despised Xia Xiang a little bit in her heart, and always couldn't help but think of Xia Xiang's impulse to be angry in the capital, and she wanted Xia Xiang to pretend to be calm again, and then have a backstage, but after all, she is young, and she has an advantage in being young, but she also has a big disadvantage, that is, it is easy to fight an uncertain battle.

If the second issue is vetoed again, Mayor Xia will not only greatly lose his prestige in the municipal party committee, but will also be underestimated in the government team. Don't look at the deputy mayors below who are very respectful to the mayor on the surface, in fact, they are the most realistic, and when they see that the mayor is subject to the secretary, they will immediately move closer to the secretary.

Mayor Xia's next step is dangerous...... Chen Jiewen regained some confidence in her control, and smiled slightly: "Let's discuss the proposal of the city government." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she put on a commanding posture: "My opinion is that Mayor Xia's proposal is very good, the starting point is also very correct, and the intention is very high, but it is too eager for quick success, I am not against it, but I feel that some modifications need to be made, such as reducing to five private enterprises, for example, in tax reduction, the pace is slightly slowed down, and so on, of course, it is just my personal opinion, not very mature, just for the reference of comrades." ”

Saying that it is a personal opinion and emphasizing it is for reference only, in fact, it is still implying that the secretary of the municipal party committee does not approve of the mayor's proposal.

Xu Fanhua's face was even more proud, as if all the neglects he suffered at the executive meeting of the government had been repaid justice.

Xia Xiang spoke: "What Secretary Chen said also has some truth, but obviously Secretary Chen has not realized the serious predicament that Tianze City is facing now. When we spent all day in the compound of the municipal party committee, reading documents and newspapers, and listening to the news, we thought we knew what the people were talking about, but in fact, we were far away from the people, and we didn't know what they were thinking or what they really needed. We talk about it on the news every day, saying that we want to reform and open up, that we want to develop the economy, that we want to increase the gross national product, and so on, but the common people don't want to listen to these big truths, and in their opinion, if you say a thousand things and ten thousand, it is better to let him earn an extra 100 yuan a month, and it is better to let him have one more dish per meal to move him more. We are standing and talking without backache, full of big truths, full of nonsense, and talking with relish, but we don't know that the people have listened to it and are sick to their stomachs, laughing in front of them, and scolding our mothers behind our backs. ”

Before Mayor Xia came, the Tianze Municipal Party Committee has always been a group of harmony, and the spirit of Secretary Chen's instructions is the highest instruction, as long as Secretary Chen speaks, there is absolutely a voice of echo below, admiration, approval and sycophancy, and it will also raise Secretary Chen's speech to an unparalleled height, of course, it is also the norm of officialdom, in any city where the secretary is dominant, everyone maintains the authority of the secretary on the surface - but after Mayor Xia arrived, there were more voices questioning the secretary, Everyone seemed to have just woken up, and when they heard Mayor Xia's words, they realized that Secretary Chen was not perfect at all.

After thinking about it again, I understand that wherever there are perfect people in the world, they are all artificially deified, and they are all blinded by the god-making movement.

Mayor Xia continued to challenge Secretary Chen's authority when he came up to lose a game first, where did he get the confidence? Don't you think you just lost badly enough? Want to continue losing in the second game?

Xia Xiang ignored everyone's suspicions and continued: "Tianze City can't wear a hat with the largest average age but the most economically backward without taking it off, and if you don't take it off, it is a satire on the average age of Tianze City, because people often say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, we have countless treasures in Tianze City, why can't we brainstorm and get the economy up?" Have we all lived in vain? ”

"Huh......" Chang Hao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud, he was interesting, his thinking was active, he loved to laugh and make trouble, no matter whose position he was on, as long as anyone's words were funny, he would laugh, "I think it's wrong, Mayor Xia, please continue, I'm sorry, I thought of another sentence." He was embarrassed to say what was in his mind, and if he did, he would definitely be attacked by the crowd, because what he laughed at was that he was a dog of age

"The new government team must break the deadlock and lead Tianze City out of the predicament, with great determination and firm goals, overcoming all difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, and striving for victory." Mayor Xia waved his hand for the last time, "I suggest that everyone carefully consider the proposal of the municipal government, which is not only related to the interests of hundreds of people in Tianze City, but also related to the political achievements and reputation of everyone here. For one term of office, for the benefit of one party, the goose has left a voice, and the person has left a name"

Chen Jiewen squinted her eyes slightly, she had to admit that Xia Xiang's words were very incendiary, and she also knew that Xia Xiang's proposal could indeed bring great benefits to Tianze City, but it was not beneficial to her personally, so she had to stop it.

"The official vote will now begin." Chen Jiewen was the first to raise her right hand high, "I am against it"
