The Standing Committee's supplementary list is first discussed internally, and after deliberation, it is then submitted to the province, and generally speaking, the province will give full consideration to the opinions of the localities and approve it.

After Qu Kang returned to the office, in front of Chang Mengyuan, he dropped the ceramic thermos cup that had followed him for seven or eight years. In Chang Mengyuan's impression, this is a rare outburst of anger in Qu Kang in the past few years. And the failure of the extraordinary committee made Qu Kang feel unhappy, but from beginning to end, Qu Kang felt like he was being played.

The person who played him was not Wang Guoyue, but Fang Zhicheng, the temporary deputy mayor.

Chang Mengyuan waited for Qu Kang's face to gradually calm down, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to be so treacherous. ”

Qu Kang sat on the chair, his fingers tapping on the table, and said in a low voice: "We can't pursue his problem, he didn't vote against it on the Standing Committee, so he didn't break the contract." What we agreed before was that Xue Fulian would relinquish the authority of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and then Fang Zhicheng would remain neutral. And he abstained, so we fulfilled our terms. ”

Chang Mengyuan was a little excited, and said with both hands in fists: "Chen Yuejin obviously chose to support Wang Guoyue under his instructions. ”

Qu Kang sighed lightly and said: "I have a good relationship with Lao Chen, but after all, there are no common interests, and he used to support me because of his feelings and symbolic voting." Chen Yuejin's vote this time is on the side of the faction. It was also my mistake that the Ning family's military in Huainan had a huge influence, and Fang Zhicheng was the third son-in-law of the Ning family. As long as Fang Zhicheng nods, Chen Yuejin will definitely support him. ”

Chang Mengyuan sneered and said, "Fang Zhicheng, the wall-riding faction, has done a really good job, he agreed to our request, and secretly helped Wang Guoyue to attack us, isn't he afraid of our retaliation?"

Qu Kang slowly calmed down, his eyes fell on the porcelain pieces all over the ground, and he waved his hand and said: "Actually, the most anxious thing now should not be us, Wang Guoyue is afraid that he is even more surprised than us in his heart, because the Standing Committee seems to have fallen in his favor, but he has only won by a slight advantage." Besides, it was someone else who was in charge! ”

Chang Mengyuan understood what Qu Kang meant, the game between Wang Guoyue and Qu Kang was a confrontation between the first and second leaders, and the temporary victory or defeat did not mean anything. But Fang Zhicheng's majestic aura was enough to make Wang Guoyue feel worried.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Chang Mengyuan said in a low voice: "Wang Guoyue is known as a sage, and he has a very open stomach, so I'm afraid he won't make things too difficult for Fang Zhicheng." Or on the contrary, he will win over Fang Zhicheng and let him be his help. ”

Qu Kang shook his head and analyzed: "Everyone knows that Fang Zhicheng came to Cao Yao, and it was the power attracted by Song Wendi that was used to fight against Wang Guoyue and restrain the influence of the northern faction in Huainan. If Wang Guoyue can forbear this, he is not a sage, but a stupid person. ”

Chang Mengyuan said in a low voice: "Will we just continue to retreat?" Compared with a year ago, our strength has been weakened too much, if we continue to retreat, I am afraid that in less than a year, we will all be overtaken by Wang Guoyue, and now there is one more Fang Zhicheng, isn't it the future Cao Yao, our local officials have no place to stand? ”

Qu Kang's brows tightened again, and he said in a tone of voice: "Mengyuan, you are younger than me, you need to remember one thing, if you want to do great things, you must remain silent." Hibernation is not a bad thing for you. Cao Yao has two princes, a lot of resources will pour in, the economic situation is definitely good, standing by the side of the giant, the dwarf can also become a general. ”

Chang Mengyuan can naturally figure out this truth, but in the No. 3 position of the Standing Committee, how can he be powerless and calm?

Qu Kang is much more conservative than before, Chang Mengyuan knows that Qu Kang has no room for promotion, and the next step may be to go to a certain department in the province, attach to the name of a deputy minister, and then slowly retire, there is no upward motivation, I just want to retreat.

But Chang Mengyuan still has ambitions and ideals, he can't be calm, and waits for Wang Guoyue to change batch after batch of personnel. Even if he can take a ride on development in the future, but his core network in Cao Yao is completely destroyed, what is the use?

After Chang Mengyuan left the office, Qu Kang's brows suddenly relaxed, of course he knew that Chang Mengyuan would not sit still, and understood the character of this deputy secretary who was pulled up by himself.

If you want Chang Mengyuan to let go of power easily, this is basically impossible.

As Chang Mengyuan analyzed, Qu Kang has stepped on the line at his age, and after Cao Yao serves as mayor for one term at most, he will be transferred to the province, enter the CPPCC or the National People's Congress, hang a deputy minister-level position, and then end his political career.

Looking back on his past experience, Qu Kang thinks that he has become a good official who is dedicated to the people. His prestige in Cao Yao is very high, especially when he was mayor, he created several core projects, and at the same time shaped the Cao Yao metropolitan area, which is also his credit. But people will always get old, and the development of the city needs time to precipitate, Qu Kang can't continue to carry out his revenge, and the arrival of Wang Guoyue at this moment makes Qu Kang feel both pressure and joy, because Wang Guoyue lives from a high angle, is young, and has great potential. If he is willing to take root in Cao Yao, within five to ten years, Cao Yao will definitely usher in great development.

However, Wang Guoyue was not familiar with Cao Yao's local characteristics, especially the complexity of the old city, so Qu Kang firmly held the project of the old city in his hands, on the one hand, he was afraid that Wang Guoyue would disrupt the distribution of power in the old city and cause chaos; On the other hand, it is also hoped that Wang Guoyue can control the situation and share the pressure of the old forces on the new squad leader.

The power struggle between the first and second leaders is an eternal topic, but Qu Kang handles many things very measuredly, and Wang Guoyue also knows this, so the two basically maintain a delicate balance.

The two will have a fierce confrontation because of the additional quota of the Standing Committee, but standing on the principled issue of Cao Yao's great development, Qu Kang and Wang Guoyue can share interests and risks.

Because Qu Kang has a high political consciousness, the provincial party committee has a high evaluation of him, so Wang Guoyue, a young cadre, will be equipped with an experienced old mayor to assist him on the basis of Wang Guoyue, a young cadre, so as to make the team more stable.

If Fang Zhicheng had not come to Cao Yao, Qu Kang would have continued to maintain a steady strategy, supporting Wang Guoyue in the overall situation while correcting some of Wang Guoyue's radical actions in small details.

But Fang Zhicheng came to Cao Yao and broke this situation, taking Chang Mengyuan as an example, local cadres felt the huge pressure brought by airborne cadres.

Less than a month after taking office, Fang Zhicheng has gone from having no power to firmly controlling the power hub of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Qu Kang can take a step back and go to the province, and then Chang Mengyuan will become the heart and soul of the local officials, and he can't sit back and watch the space of the local cadres being squeezed out step by step.

……

In the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee, Chen Zhen had a smile on his face, and after the vote of the Standing Committee, he successfully became the 13th member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

Looking at the promotion trajectory of the secretary general of the municipal party committee, from the moment he became a regular member, he will continue to climb, because it involves the management and coordination of multiple departments, and only if there is any vacancy, he will have the opportunity to go up. What's more, in the process of adding members of the Standing Committee, Wang Guoyue put a lot of effort into himself, and he did not hesitate to fight with Qu Kang at the meeting.

Although he won the victory, Wang Guoyue was not as happy as he imagined, because the defection of Propaganda Minister Lu Baojuan cast a haze on his heart.

Wang Guoyue calculated the number of votes very clearly, if Lu Baojuan could stand on his side, there would be a seven-to-five situation at worst, and he would not win such a risk.

Of course, Fang Zhicheng also surprised Wang Guoyue, and the vote he promised to give was not the vote in his hand, but the vote in the hands of Chen Yuejin, the commander of the military division.

Fang Zhicheng chose to abstain from voting, and Wang Guoyue could guess that this was an agreement reached through a transaction with Qu Kang.

At this regular meeting of the Standing Committee, Fang Zhicheng, Wang Guoyue, and Qu Kang all exchanged power and interests.

Qu Kang allocated the NDRC to Fang Zhicheng in the mayor's division of labor, which was the reason why Fang Zhicheng chose to abstain from voting;

In the construction of the new urban area, Wang Guoyue will hand over the planning power to Fang Zhicheng, which is the reason why Fang Zhicheng promised to give Wang Guoyue a vote of support.

In short, the cunning Fang Zhicheng got what he wanted on both sides in order to supplement the Standing Committee through the first and second leaders this time.

Exhaling softly, Wang Guoyue became calm, and said with a faint smile: "Lao Chen, after becoming a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, your eyes will not only fall on the Municipal Party Committee Office, but also pay more attention to other work. If there's a vacancy in an important position, you're going to have to go up. ”

When Chen Zhen heard Wang Guoyue say this, he nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Thank you Secretary Guoyue for the reminder!" ”

Wang Guoyue got up and walked to Chen Zhen's side, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, this is Wang Guoyue's habit of getting along with people, he feels that for people close to him, not only verbal communication, but also physical contact, so as to increase mutual familiarity and trust.

Wang Guoyue said: "Cao Yao's Standing Committee has been basically stable, the next step is how to develop, how to operate, you can prepare for the next Standing Committee, specifically discuss the revision of the "Cao Yao City Master Plan". The Cao Yao City Master Plan was promulgated in 2007 and has only been revised twice for five years. ”

Chen Zhen understood what Wang Guoyue meant, and Wang Guoyue was finally about to start using the scalpel. Many personnel adjustments in the early stage are just to sharpen the knife and not cut the wood.

Chen Zhen has been following Wang Guoyue for more than a year, and he still understands Wang Guoyue's ability, if he really wants to do something, it will give people a sense of security and full of Confucian demeanor.
