Now that he already knew that he would be replaced by Han Dong, and it was inevitable, no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless, but it might have an adverse impact on himself, so Fan Tonghui chose to cooperate and decided to cooperate with Han Dong and let Han Dong do his thing, as long as he didn't go too far, he had to get by.

Fortunately, Han Dong is also a very measured person, even if Fan Tonghui has obviously made concessions, but Han Dong is still relatively polite to him and has not fully seized power, which at least allows Fan Tonghui to maintain his dignity and self-esteem as a provincial party secretary in Xichuan Province.

At this point, Fan Tonghui also had to sigh that Han Dong was indeed a very remarkable young man, although Han Dong was already a ministerial-level member and was on the same level as Fan Tonghui, but in Fan Tonghui's eyes, Han Dong was still an out-and-out young man, to put it more seriously, it could even be said that Fan Tonghui watched Han Dong grow to this point.

Before coming to Yanjing to participate in the seminar, Fan Tonghui also visited several old leaders, and when the old leaders asked about the situation in Xichuan Province and Han Dong's performance, Fan Tonghui also evaluated Han Dong very objectively, which aroused the interest of several old comrades.

"I heard that Han Dong is very restless in Xichuan Province, forming small groups, and even controlling the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee?" An old man asked with a frown.

"I don't know how this rumor came out, but as secretary of the Xichuan Provincial Party Committee, I am very responsible to say that Comrade Han Dong is a leading cadre who takes into account the overall situation, has a great sense of innovation, and has a strong work ability, and he is devoted to his work, and it can be seen from the development and changes in Xichuan Province in the past two years that if it were not for Comrade Han Dong's efforts, the development of Xichuan Province would at least be much backward than it is now." Fan Tonghui cited Han Dong's work in Xichuan Province as an example, and at the same time said that the Xichuan Provincial Party Committee team is united and combative.

On the one hand, his answer gave some of his old comrades who had misunderstood Han Dong a new and correct understanding of Han Dong, and on the other hand, it also won him a good evaluation. Well behaved.

The national party congress will be held in October next year, and before that, general elections will be held in various parts of the country, and starting this year, some provinces and municipalities have already begun to make corresponding preparations, first at the county, district, and city levels, and then at the provincial level. At this juncture, some old comrades who have been dormant for a long time. Naturally, they began to pay attention to the domestic political situation again. As a political star in Huaxia, it is normal for Han Dong to receive more attention.

April 2nd. The central authorities issued the "Circular on Conscientiously Doing a Good Job in the Work of Changing the Election of Party Committees of Provinces, Autonomous Regions, and Municipalities Directly under the Central Government This Year and Next." He pointed out that it is necessary to follow the principle of "clarifying the direction, being active and prudent, highlighting the key points, and putting them in place step by step," and make substantial progress in streamlining the number of posts in the leading bodies, reducing the number of deputy secretaries, and appropriately expanding the cross-appointment of party and government leading members. In fact, since the beginning of the new century, the central authorities have been further reforming their systems, and in the past, there were five or six deputy secretaries of some party committees, more than half of the standing committee members. Then the power of the secretary's meeting will be very centralized, so that the Standing Committee will basically become an ornament. However, if the number of deputy secretaries is reduced, and according to the requirements, there will be two or three deputy secretaries in one party committee body, and there will be only three or four secretaries in total, so that the Standing Committee will not be able to completely influence the Standing Committee, and it will be more conducive to giving play to democracy.

But. As soon as the central authorities issued this circular, it still aroused great repercussions in the following provinces and autonomous regions, and according to the requirements of the central authorities, the number of deputy secretaries in many provinces and municipalities will now be reduced by two or three. This is not a trivial matter, many people are already deputy secretaries, how to arrange them in the future is a problem, and there are also some people who originally hoped that in this general change, they can go further and become deputy secretaries, but with the reduction of the number of deputy secretaries, their ideal will not be able to become a reality. …,

April 12th. The Xichuan Provincial Party Committee held a meeting of the Standing Committee to study and implement the spirit of the central document. The hearts of all those present here are heavy, and not only the pattern of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will change. In addition, all cities and prefectures should also reduce the number of deputy secretaries in accordance with the requirements, which is also a big matter and will change the fate of many people.

Fan Tonghui's mood is calm, with the passage of time, his time in Xichuan Province gradually decreased, he only needs to stand on the last shift, as long as there is no problem, then he will successfully complete the task, as for where to retire in the future, it depends on how the central government arranges.

Others, on the other hand, are not as calm as Fan Tonghui. First of all, Zheng Rumin, the deputy secretary, if Xichuan Province only arranges two deputy secretaries next year, then in addition to the governor, there will only be one full-time deputy secretary, and the power of this full-time deputy secretary is much greater than now, Zheng Rumin naturally wants to sit in this position.

"Judging from the current situation, Fan Tonghui is definitely leaving, Han Dong is going to take over the post of secretary of the provincial party committee, and who will take over as governor?" Zheng Rumin secretly pondered in his heart, "Speaking of which, I, Du Zhongsen and Xiao Hongbin all have this opportunity, although Xiao Hongbin is not the deputy secretary now, but he has the Su family behind him, while Han Dong is progressing, I am afraid that the Su family will also do their best to put Xiao Hongbin in the position of governor and fight with Han Dong, this person is a great threat." In addition, Du Zhongsen himself has been the deputy secretary for so long, and he is one step away from the position of governor, so it is natural for him to take a step forward. As for me, the biggest advantage is that I have presided over such a long work in Shudu as a deputy secretary, and my work experience is relatively rich. Overall, the competition is fierce. ”

From Zheng Rumin's point of view, his first goal is naturally the position of provincial governor under Han Dong's buttocks, and the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is the second best choice. It's just that he thinks about it, whether it is the position of governor or deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, the competition is very fierce, first of all, Xichuan Province is facing competition from Du Zhongsen and Xiao Hongbin, and maybe the central government may send another person down, then the competition for the remaining position will be even more intense.

Looking up at Han Dong, who was speaking, Zheng Rumin was very depressed, if the competition failed, it was very likely that he would not be able to keep his position as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and if he only kept the position of member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Shudu Municipal Party Committee, it would be a complete regression for him. But in this big change, Han Dong will definitely not sit back and watch everyone compete, he must also have his own ideas, after all, although he takes over the post of secretary of the provincial party committee is not a big problem, but in order to better grasp the situation after taking office, he will definitely mix in it, which adds a lot of variables to the pattern of the entire Xichuan Province.

"Don't look at this kid who looks gentle and elegant, but it's not easy to do things at all, and he is ruthless." Zheng Rumin looked at Han Dong like this in his heart.

Beginning this year, all localities and cities and prefectures will gradually begin to hold general elections, first at the township and county level, then at the prefecture, city, and prefecture levels, and then at around May next year, when the whole province will be re-elected. At present, the time is still relatively short, and it must be conveyed as soon as possible in order to do this work in an orderly manner.

After the meeting was dismissed, Hong Jinfeng came to Han Dong's office, and after he sat down, he sighed: "The determination of the Central Committee is very great, and in the future, the number of deputy secretaries will be reduced, and the number of standing committee members will increase, which will be more conducive to the development of democratic centralism. ”

Han Dong smiled slightly: "This is an inevitable development trend, now the power of the secretary's office is too centralized, reducing the number of people, although it is said that it has increased the weight of the deputy secretary to a certain extent, but in general, the role of the Standing Committee will be greater...... "..., Han Dong understood what Hong Jinfeng meant, there is still a year or so to change the term, and he naturally wants to go further. After all, it was possible to promote him to executive vice governor last time, but now that he has stayed up for so long, if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity of the change of office to move forward, then his future development will be hindered.

However, Han Dong is also a little embarrassed, Han Dong knows that he will not have much problem going further next year, so if he wants to give Hong Jinfeng force, it will be a little difficult, the best is to let Hong Jinfeng serve as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and manage the party and the masses, which is of great benefit to his work, and let Hong Jinfeng serve as the executive vice governor at worst. However, it is difficult to say whether the central government can support this kind of idea, after all, the balance of the system of the Huaxia State is very important, and the Korean system cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Therefore, Han Dong is not easy to express his position for the time being, but he just wants Hong Jinfeng to do the current things with peace of mind, and only when things are done well can there be the possibility of development.

From October 7 to 10, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee was held. The plenary session deliberated and adopted the "Decision on Several Major Issues Concerning the Construction of a Harmonious Socialist Society". Lohn Hill explained the Decision (Discussion Draft). Gu Chenyang reported on the work of the CPC Central Committee and delivered a speech at the meeting. He pointed out: China's development has stood in a new history, with profound changes in the economic system, profound changes in the social structure, profound adjustments in the pattern of interests, profound changes in ideological concepts, and the gradual emergence of deep-seated contradictions, and it is necessary to put the building of a harmonious socialist society in a more prominent position. He pointed out: To build a socialist core value system, the most fundamental thing is to uphold the guiding position of Marxism and unremittingly arm the whole party and educate the people with the latest achievements of Marxism in the nationalization of China. He stressed: It is necessary to guide the enthusiasm of all quarters to the realization of scientific development and promote sound and rapid economic development in a down-to-earth manner.

Han Dong sat in the venue, listening to the general secretary's speech, and involuntarily remembered the meeting with Gu Chenyang before the meeting, for the next changes in the situation in Xichuan Province, Han Dong was full of expectations at the same time, but also a little helpless, many things are not something he can control, and sighed secretly in his heart, "This is the art of balance, it seems that you still have to work hard in Xichuan Province." ”

Next year's change of office in Xichuan Province, I am afraid that there will be a lot of personnel changes, which is not a good thing for Han Dong, after all, people have changed, and it will take energy to reconcile the team to do things better.
