Spring in Qingyuan City this year is obviously a little later than in previous years.

It is already March, people do not feel the warmth of spring, and even the rows of peach blossoms on both sides of the road seem to have a trace of laziness, and there is no sign of opening at all, showing a bit of twilight winter.

This situation and this scene are just like Chu Tianshu's state of mind.

Under the investigation presided over by Liang Yuxuan, director of the Second Supervision Office of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, a formal conclusion was finally reached about the two anonymous letters. After verification, the content of the letter is purely false, and almost all the pictures are photoshopped after being identified by authoritative techniques. This scandal involving many officials gradually subsided after a period of boiling.

Zhu Minwen, the new secretary of the municipal party committee, launched at the standing committee of the municipal party committee a plan for the first adjustment of cadres at the county and department level since he took office.

Zhu Minwen communicated this plan with Executive Vice Mayor Yi Haitao, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Guo Hongze, Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Mayor Tang Yifu and others in advance.

However, Yi Haitao, who convened the work of the city government, felt a little uncomfortable.

Regarding the cadre adjustment of the party and the masses, Yi Haitao was very conscious and almost did not participate in any opinions.

However, Zhu Minwen listened more to Tang Yifu's opinions in the cadre adjustment of the municipal government, and the most obvious example is that Huang Rushan, the former deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, was arranged to serve as the deputy secretary-general and deputy director of the general office of the municipal government.

The current secretary general is old, his health is not too good, and he is basically in a state of recuperation, Yi Haitao's opinion is to arrange for him to retire or be appointed separately, but Zhu Minwen asked the secretary general to occupy the pit and not on the grounds of taking care of the emotions of the old comrades, but listened to Tang Yifu's advice and transferred Huang Rushan to preside over the daily work.

Huang Rushan is Tang Yifu's person, Yi Haitao knows that when Guan Haoyu, the director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, was "retired", Tang Yifu strongly recommended Huang Rushan, but Guo Zichun, then secretary of the municipal party committee, chose Jian Ruoming, and Huang Rushan was depressed and transferred out of the SASAC.

Now, Tang Yifu said that he moved Zhu Minwen and transferred Huang Rushan to the government office, which is equivalent to inserting a probe next to Yi Haitao, how can Yi Haitao be happy?

Another reason why Yi Haitao was unhappy was that in the process of preparing for the adjustment of cadres, he suddenly felt that there were not too many intimate candidates to recommend, but Tang Yifu could propose a large number of candidates for Zhu Minwen to choose, so that there were Tang Yifu people in many key government departments.

People hate less when they use it!

Yi Haitao, as an external force, although he serves as the executive deputy mayor, has no foundation in the officialdom of Qingyuan City, and even except for Wang Shaolei, there is almost no trustworthy candidate. And Tang Yifu is a local cadre, and his roots in the officialdom of Qingyuan City are very deep.

This is actually one of the reasons why Yi Haitao is eager to promote Chu Tianshu out of the ordinary.

After being sent from the Provincial Department of Communications to Qingyuan City as the executive deputy mayor, he spent more energy on government work and neglected to grasp the construction of his own team in Qingyuan, thinking that he could take over the post of mayor logically, but after Zhu Minwen was reappointed as the secretary of the municipal party committee, the province not only did not make it clear that Yi Haitao was the acting mayor, but also did not even give the title of presiding over the work, and only promised a name for convening the work.

The difference in the words reflects the subtlety that is difficult to understand.

After all, Zhu Minwen is the rightful leader, Yi Haitao has given enough support to his proposed cadre adjustment plan, he feels that he must maintain a good cooperative relationship with Zhu Minwen before the general election, the more variables there are, the more we must strive for Zhu Minwen's support.

Most of the time, Yi Haitao constructs a blueprint for the future in his heart, and everything at present can be endured.

One of the keys to officialdom is to be able to endure. No matter how big an official you are, there are always someone bigger than you. You have to endure it, you have to endure it if you can endure it, and if you can't bear it, you have to endure it even if you grit your teeth.

Yi Haitao believes that his top priority now is to make some achievements during the convening of the government, focusing on the two major political achievements of the Yanjiang Avenue Business Circle and the Jiangbei Development Zone.

Lin Guodong, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and director of the Organization Department, repeatedly exhorted him to announce the convening of the work, and he must properly handle the relationship between the leading cadres in the city, especially the relationship between the city government and the city party committee.

After discussing the plan for readjusting cadres, the official agenda of the Standing Committee was over, and the atmosphere at the meeting room was relatively relaxed. Zhu Minwen casually asked everyone if there was anything else to say, and Guo Hongze, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, reported the conclusion of the investigation of the two anonymous letters by the Second Supervision Office of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

After listening to this, Zhu Minwen said very seriously: It seems that the selection and appointment of cadres still has to strictly adhere to organizational principles and procedures, and it is not possible to arbitrarily promote cadres without exception, otherwise, there may be unnecessary mistakes.

When he said this, he was alluding to Chu Tianshu's appointment, and he obviously didn't want Yi Haitao to bring up the matter of promoting Chu Tianshu again at the meeting.

In this regard, Yi Haitao did not express his position, and no one else spoke, and the atmosphere in the venue was a little stuffy.

According to the usual practice, ordinary staff members can be promoted to section level principal staff members after three years, section level chief staff members can be promoted to deputy division level after three years, and deputy department level can be promoted to division level after three years.

According to Zhu Minwen's statement, Chu Tianshu has only been working for three years, and his promotion to a department-level cadre is already a rapid progress, and it will take at least three years to be promoted to a deputy department-level post.

In other words, Yi Haitao will have to wait until three years later if he wants to use Chu Tianshu.

If the position cannot be raised, it will be difficult for Yi Haitao to reuse Chu Tianshu's intention to be realized, and its role will be greatly reduced.

The construction of Jiangbei Development Zone is presided over by Wang Shaolei, and it is not necessary to let Chu Tianshu be an assistant there, and the construction of the business circle along the Yangtze River is in the hands of Shen Guozhang, and it is always difficult to promote the work, not that it cannot be promoted, but that Shen Guozhang will come up with some things that deviate from time to time, which makes Yi Haitao very troubled.

According to Yi Haitao's idea, after Chu Tianshu's level was promoted to the deputy department, if Shen Guozhang did not promote the construction project of the business circle, Chu Tianshu could be used to replace him.

Yi Haitao was a little puzzled, Chu Tianshu's work ability is well known, and there are too many talents who have been promoted from the province to the city, and he doesn't care about Chu Tianshu.

Before consulting the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhu Minwen agreed to promote Chu Tianshu unusually, and after the scandal, his opinion with Yi Haitao was also a little slower, and now the anonymous letter has been concluded, but Zhu Minwen's tone has changed, and Yi Haitao feels that this is Tang Yifu using the anonymous trade storm to exert influence on Zhu Minwen.

This also shows from a certain side that Tang Yifu's weight in front of Zhu Minwen is no less than Yi Haitao, and it may even be heavier!

How could Tang Yifu not see through Yi Haitao's wishful thinking, so his decision to prevent Chu Tianshu's exceptional promotion was not a disapproval of Chu Tianshu's ability, but a political strategy in the battle with Yi Haitao's mayor.

Of course, the influence exerted by Tang Yifu also conformed to Zhu Minwen's idea of firmly grasping the absolute right to speak in the selection of cadres.

Zhu Minwen has been an official in Qingyuan officialdom for many years, and he is also a master of power operation, and in his quiet manner, he borrowed Chu Tianshu's promotion to send a clear signal to all the Standing Committee members present that I have the final say in the selection and appointment of cadres, and the recommendation of the nominal mayor-designate Yi Haitao may not work.

In the face of Zhu Minwen's sudden change of hexagram, Yi Haitao quickly found a countermeasure, after he expressed support for Zhu Minwen's views, he proposed to transfer Chu Tianshu to the general office of the municipal government, the reason is very simple, after Yi Haitao's secretary Wang Shaolei was sent to the development zone, his secretary has not yet been decided, he transferred Chu Tianshu to his side, although the level has not been promoted, but the status and role are no less than an insignificant deputy department-level cadre.

Vice Mayor Tang Yifu can transfer his confidant Huang Rushan to the general office of the municipal government as deputy director, and it is really normal for an executive vice mayor who summons government work to choose a secretary for himself.

Zhu Minwen has no reason to oppose it, and he will not oppose it, he is happy to see Yi Haitao and Tang Yifu secretly competing, hoping to use their competition to consolidate his position of absolute authority, and there is no need to stiffen the relationship for the appointment of a section-level cadre.

Zhu Minwen does not object, and no one from the other Standing Committee members will oppose it.

Within a few days, this round of cadre promotion and appointment was announced, and the name of Chu Tianshu, who was expected by everyone, was not among them.

The ordinary cadres of the municipal organs were a little surprised, but after they learned that Chu Tianshu would be transferred to the general office of the municipal government, they were suddenly relieved, and they all secretly sighed that Chu Tianshu's trick to save the country was really high.

Because when Yi Haitao is officially elected mayor in next year's general election, it is customary for the mayor's secretary to directly mention the deputy office, it is more logical than the current exceptional promotion, and it will not be too ostentatious.

Ordinary cadres only saw the superficial phenomenon, thinking that Chu Tianshu stepped into the general office of the municipal government, became the executive deputy mayor, and was also recognized by the outside world as the secretary of the candidate mayor Yi Haitao, and could rise to the top from now on, but where did they know how fierce and complicated the battle for the mayor behind them was, and there were many traps waiting for Chu Tianshu in front of him.

The promotion of official positions is not to queue up to get on the bus, it is impossible to completely follow the first-come, first-served, the procedure is extremely mysterious and complicated, and no one is sure that the next train will arrive on their own until the moment they get on the bus.

Official hats have always been a scarce non-renewable resource in officialdom, and any official wants to keep it for himself.

A thrilling power struggle has begun.
