Duan Zetao was not frightened by Zheng Duanfeng's stern words, nor did he go to fight him, but smiled slightly: "Secretary Zheng, I want to ask you, what is the most troublesome problem in Xijiang Province now?!" ……”。

Zheng Duanfeng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Duan Zetao suspiciously, guessing the meaning of his words, the most troublesome problem for Zheng Duanfeng in Xijiang Province now is naturally that he has never been able to fully control the situation in Xijiang Province, the governor Wan Youliang is at odds with him, and he is against him everywhere, and other Standing Committee members such as Long Yutian and others have also set up their own mountains and cultivated their own forces, which has greatly damaged his authority as the secretary of the provincial party committee, and the central government is not very satisfied with him. But how could Zheng Duanfeng say these words in his heart to Duan Zetao, the new Standing Committee member who still couldn't figure out the details, so he snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Duan Zetao seemed to have guessed Zheng Duanfeng's thoughts, and continued: "Although I have just arrived in Xijiang Province and do not know a lot of the situation, but according to the observation in the past few days, I think Secretary Zheng must be worried about the cohesion and unity of the Standing Committee leadership team. ……”。

Zheng Duanfeng raised his eyebrows, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Duan Zetao with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his intentions, but Duan Zetao continued as if he was unconscious: "The party committee manages cadres, on the issue of how to manage cadres well, Secretary Zheng, you must have more experience than me, and have methods, what I want to discuss with you is our current cadre promotion and assessment system, we promote and evaluate cadres, many times based on subjective impressions and leadership will, so it is given to those who are good at showing, Those who are good at smuggling can take advantage of the opportunity, while those who have real talent and hard work but cannot show themselves will not be promoted, and may even breed corrupt phenomena such as buying and selling official positions......."

"This is only a superficial phenomenon, we look at it at a deeper level, if the promotion of cadres becomes a kind of exchange and balance of interests, the ultimate result will be that there will be various small interest groups in our leadership collective, resulting in many other personal factors when we make major decisions, and eventually lead to the disunity of our leadership collective, lead to deviation from the direction of our decision-making, affect the development of our work, and affect the overall ...... of unity and stability."

Zheng Duanfeng's face was uncertain, and he was silent, obviously Duan Zetao's words touched him a little, it should be said that what Duan Zetao said was not something he had not considered, but when faced with specific problems, sometimes he had to make concessions and compromises.

Duan Zetao saw that Zheng Duanfeng had been touched, and decided to add another fierce fire, pointing to the list of cadres to be promoted in his hand and said: "Take Ma Zhanbo, who is going to be promoted to the acting mayor of Donghu City this time, I don't know if Secretary Zheng knows this comrade, I must have heard that I went to Donghu City before I took office, the situation in Donghu City is not optimistic, it is likely that there will be big problems, the candidate for the acting mayor is very important, according to my observation of Ma Zhanbo, he is obviously not suitable for ......", Saying that, Duan Zetao reported what he saw and heard in Donghu City to Zheng Duanfeng again.

Zheng Duanfeng was also taken aback, stood up suddenly, and said in surprise: "Comrade Zetao, are you telling the truth?!" Is the situation in Donghu really that bad?! ......", Zheng Duanfeng has heard a little bit about the affairs of East Lake, but Donghu City has always been Long Yutian's own place, Long Yutian was promoted from the secretary of the East Lake Municipal Party Committee, and An Xuri is also Long Yutian's absolute confidant, even he, the secretary of the provincial party committee, has a feeling that the needle can't be pierced and the water can't be splashed.

He also had doubts about letting Ma Zhanbo become the acting mayor of Donghu City, but in exchange for Long Yutian's support in the two important positions of director of the Department of Finance and deputy director of the Public Security Department, he made a compromise with Long Yutian, but if what Duan Zetao said was true, he had to think carefully, because once the situation in Donghu was completely out of control and a scandal that shocked the whole country, he, the secretary of the provincial party committee, would have to take leadership responsibility, and he might even withdraw from the political arena ahead of schedule.

Duan Zetao said: "Secretary Zheng, I dare to swear by my party spirit, what I said is true, I admit that there are some contradictions between my family and the Long family, I came to Xijiang this time to be for the case of the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group, but please believe that as a cadre trained by the party for many years, I will never abolish the public for private reasons, let alone declare personal vendettas, although I have not fully grasped the evidence of their disciplinary violations, but from the evidence currently in my possession, I dare to assert, There is likely to be a major shady scene in the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group, and if it is not properly handled, it is likely that a mass incident will break out, which is likely to have an adverse impact on the entire Xijiang Province! ……”。

Zheng Duanfeng nodded solemnly and said: "Comrade Zetao, if everything you said is true, the situation in Donghu City is indeed very serious, and it is likely that the entire leadership team is rotten, but if there is no solid evidence, it is not good for me to adjust the leadership team of Donghu City, Long Yutian is the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it is impossible not to alarm ......him if you want to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the case of the acquisition of Xijiang Electronics Group."

Duan Zetao said: "I also know that it is not appropriate to startle the snake now, so my idea is to take the opportunity of this cadre promotion to plant a nail in Donghu City, let them mess up internally, and then we will secretly collect evidence, and the truth will always be revealed...... I already have a suitable candidate for this nail, that is, Comrade Zhou Jie, the current deputy mayor of the Standing Committee of Donghu City, this comrade is young and strong, and he has a lot of ideas, and the most important thing is that he did not go along with the same stream and always insisted on his own position, so I think he is very suitable to be the acting mayor of Donghu City! ……”。

Zheng Duanfeng pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Even if I agree with your opinion, you can't guarantee that the candidate you recommend can be passed by the Standing Committee, the list of cadres to be promoted this time has been discussed at the secretary's office meeting, if you change it rashly, the other Standing Committee members will definitely be very dissatisfied, and there are many Standing Committee members on the Standing Committee who are biased towards Long Yutian, and Governor Youliang may also have his own ideas ......."

Seeing that Zheng Duanfeng was finally relieved, Duan Zetao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I will also go to communicate with Governor Youliang, as long as you two leaders are willing to support me, I am confident that I will get a majority of votes when the Standing Committee discusses ......."
