Ma Xingwang's opening remarks had only said a few words, and Fu Damu interrupted him unceremoniously, and said coldly: "Old Ma, don't say it, my cousin Zhou Shengping and your nephew Huang Guan have both been arrested in the city, what is the point of discussing and dealing with opinions here?" ”

"Really?" Ma Xingwang asked in shock.

"Old Ma, don't look at me, if you want to ask, just ask Director Chu." Ma Xingwang looked at Chu Tianshu again.

"It's true!" Chu Tianshu said solemnly: "Zhou Shengping and Huang Guan, as government workers, abused their power, oppressed the people, and completely lost the professional ethics of a civil servant, and their behavior has violated the law and should be punished by the law. ”

Fu Damu's fighting spirit was wiped out by the few phone calls just now, and he put on a gesture of love, not so much to express his righteousness to Zhou Shengping, but to express his disdain for Chu Tianshu's rhetoric.

Since Fu Damu doesn't matter, Ma Xingwang can't be embarrassed.

The meeting made a decision that the urban management bureau would come forward to offer condolences and compensation to the victims, eliminate the negative impact, and maintain social harmony and stability. After receiving a notice from the Municipal Public Security Bureau of criminal detention, Zhou Shengping and Huang Guan were expelled from the civil service.

Chu Tianshu's tough performance in Nanling County had an unexpected effect.

In the big picture, as soon as the news of Zhou Shengping and Huang Guan's arrest came out, especially after the leaders of the Urban Management Bureau led a team to visit the Hunchback stall owner's father and daughter on the snack street, the stall owners rushed to tell each other, and the vendors were excited.

From a small aspect, the leading cadres at or above the county level in Nanling County witnessed the fighting methods between Chu Tianshu and Fu Damu, and they were even more convinced that Yi Haitao would definitely become the mayor. As a result, Nanling County, which was originally Tang Yifu's base, was secretly contacted by Ma Xingwang, and in the subsequent evaluation and recommendation process of the democrats, Yi Haitao actually won more than half of the support of Nanling County.

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

At the end of the meeting, Fu Damu threw his sleeves and left.

Chu Tianshu and Ma Xingwang talked about the preparation and fund allocation of supply and marketing cooperatives, and implemented the specific responsible person.

As soon as Chu Tianshu returned to Qingyuan, he immediately reported to Yi Haitao's office.

When Yi Haitao saw him, he was very excited and said, "Xiao Chu, you came just in time, let's analyze the situation together." ”

Sitting down, Yi Haitao didn't even let Chu Tianshu report on his work in Nanling County, so he hurriedly discussed the current situation with Chu Tianshu.

A six-member group of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee led by Ye Qingping quietly stationed in Qingyuan City yesterday evening to carry out a week-long evaluation and recommendation of democratic owners by combining organizational recommendation with individual recommendation.

Of course, the opinions of the principal leaders of the municipal party committee and government are the main ones that make organizational recommendations, while the scope of individuals is relatively broad, including members of several sets of leading bodies in the city, as well as principal responsible persons of organs and departments, and it is also possible to solicit the opinions of some veteran comrades.

As decided at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee more than two months ago, some important adjustments and changes were made in accordance with the instructions of Secretary Nan Yanping of the Provincial Party Committee.

Among them, the age of mayoral candidates has been relaxed from the original general age not exceeding 50 to 53 years old; The academic qualifications are reduced from a bachelor's degree to a junior college; In terms of service experience, it is no longer required that the term of office of a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and the deputy of the government at the same level shall not be less than five years.

In this way, in the two sets of teams of the Qingyuan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, in addition to Yi Haitao, the executive deputy mayor, Deputy Secretary Guo Hongze, Deputy Mayor Tang Yifu and others, as well as several deputy positions in the ** and CPPCC teams can be successfully shortlisted.

Because it is a five-year team change, and it also involves several sets of teams, such as the government, the CPPCC, the procuratorate, and the court, the movement on the surface will be particularly large, and the scope of the impact will be particularly wide.

But in fact, a discerning person can see at a glance that among several sets of teams, the government is the real top priority, and the most suspenseful and competitive position is the mayor.

Therefore, the core of this evaluation and recommendation is the candidate for mayor of Qingyuan, and the rest is just a routine.

If there is no big surprise, this evaluation and recommendation work will produce candidates for the future mayor of Qingyuan, and its significance is self-evident.

When it comes to the right candidate for the mayor of Qingyuan, most people believe that the chances of the executive vice mayor should be higher than that of other Standing Committee members and deputy mayors. Because according to the order of officialdom, although the municipal party committee, **, government, and CPPCC are all at the level of departments and bureaus, their actual status, role, and influence are very different.

As the first-level municipal party committee of the ruling party organization, it is naturally the leader who leads everything, and its members of the Standing Committee are in the first position, while the secretary and deputy secretary are in the forefront, and below are a group of part-time Standing Committee members.

If it had been a few years earlier, it would have been the most likely that the candidate for mayor would have been selected among the deputy secretaries of the municipal party committee.

However, things have changed in recent years. A few years ago, out of consideration for improving administrative efficiency and the ability to govern, the central authorities reduced the number and powers of deputy secretaries and strengthened the actual functions and powers of part-time standing committee members.

At present, most of the full-time deputy secretaries of the leading bodies of the various municipal party committees have been weakened, and their status and role have also been markedly weakened. On the contrary, those full-time members of the Standing Committee, each of whom guards one aspect, has the right to hold office, and is majestic. In particular, the executive vice mayor, who is also a member of the Standing Committee, has become the third person in actual power after the secretary and the mayor.

As for the deputy positions in the rest of the teams other than the municipal party committee, they are even more incomparable to the executive vice mayor.

"However," Yi Haitao analyzed the above situation, and his tone was obviously aggravated, he said: "This time, because of the relaxation of the above conditions, Secretary Nan hopes to take the opportunity to revitalize the pool of water in the appointment of cadres, so it has the nature of casting a big net to catch fish, and the situation will definitely not be simple." I heard Qingping say that Loteng City was already in chaos, and he warned me to prepare in advance and never take it lightly. Moreover, even if it is recommended and enters the candidate list, there are two levels of provincial party committee inspection and ** election at the bottom, and all work must be done in advance, and it must be done carefully and thoroughly. ”

Speaking of this, Yi Haitao's expression was serious.

In silence, the Sichuan characters between his eyebrows were as steep as a knife, which suddenly made people feel turbulent.

"It's a bit grim for us!" Yi Haitao said.

Chu Tianshu's heart tightened.

When he heard the word "we" at first glance, Chu Tianshu still felt his heart warm. To be honest, for so many years, as long as he talks to Yi Haitao alone, the words he likes to hear and want to hear the most are the words "we".

What does it mean to be we?

It means that Yi Haitao has never treated you Chu Tianshu as an outsider, which means that the future and future do not belong to him alone, but to us: me and you.

However, the word severe made Chu Tianshu feel nervous.

After all, a person like Yi Haitao, who is gentle and unfazed, rarely says such two words. Moreover, from his expression and body language, it can be seen that this statement is not alarmist or pretentious.

Indeed, as the main opponents, Tang Yifu and Guo Hongze have been operating in Qingyuan City for many years, and their personal connections are intertwined, while Yi Haitao has only served as executive vice mayor for a little more than two years.

"I don't know my heart!" Yi Haitao sighed.

Although the evaluation and recommendation of the democrats do not determine the ownership of the candidates, Ye Qingping mentioned that if the distance is too large, it is likely to affect the final determination of the official candidates on the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, especially now that Tang Yifu and Yi Haitao have their own supporters.

After all, today's power operation is becoming more and more transparent, and decision-making is becoming more and more democratic.

Yi Haitao's worries are justified.

If left unchecked and left to chance, it is very likely that Yi Haitao's approval rating will lag behind Tang Yifu, and what worries Yi Haitao even more is that it is difficult to estimate how much he will lag behind.

This is also the main reason why Ye Qingping asked Yi Haitao to do all the work thoroughly.

If you follow the usual rules of officialdom promotion, it should be said that Yi Haitao's advantage is still relatively obvious.

After all, he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, and he has always given people a good impression of being modest and cautious, not arrogant or impatient, and immersed in work, and has a good reputation inside and outside the circle. Especially in the fields of urban construction, transportation, and planning, he has made a bold move, running around the ruins and rubble all day long, and has carried out many distinctive highlight projects, and has won the praise of "practical mayor" among ordinary people.

In the eyes of the majority of government cadres and ordinary citizens, Yi Haitao is neither as flamboyant and arbitrary as Tang Yifu, but also more tolerant and pragmatic than Guo Hongze, and should be an ideal candidate for mayor.

However, things in China have never been as simple as one plus one equals two, and Yi Haitao's road to mayor is by no means achieved by relying on the superficial impression of grassroots people.

There is another very obvious weakness in him, which can be said to be quite fatal: after so many years of entering the official career, he has almost no experience in the organization and personnel departments, nor has he ever served as the person in charge of a regional grassroots unit, so he does not have his own mountains and circles like many leading cadres.
