Chapter 214: Accidents

A round of shocks in Beihu Lake has finally gradually subsided, or it shows that the upper level has returned to calm, whether it is Beihu or other parts of the country, it has also temporarily stopped, because the new party congress is about to be held, and who wants to make small moves without rules at this time, the nature is different.

The delegation of Beihu Xijiang Province was arranged in the Beihu Mansion in the capital, and his room was arranged in a luxurious suite on the innermost part of the eighteenth floor. Next door lives Lan Chaohua, head of the Provincial Party Committee Organization.

On the night of the opening ceremony, it was normal, and he was able to sleep normally. The next day, the group discussion report was fine. However, on the third day, when the various groups began to discuss the list of nominees for members of the Central Committee, alternate members of the Central Committee, and members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that had been brewed by the presidium of the conference, Lu Zhengdong took a closer look at the list and saw at a glance that his name appeared in the list of candidates for the Central Committee, but the names of Zhou Shuming and Zhan Jidong were gone. One of them was a member of the previous Central Committee and the other was an alternate member, but neither of them made it this time.

Despite this, the number of candidates for Beihu Central Committee and alternate members has increased compared with the previous term, and Qi Yumin continued to appear on the list of candidates as an alternate member of the previous term, and Yu Jiangyou, Tang Zhongkai, and Luo Shanzheng also appeared on the list of candidates for alternate members. The number of people has increased by one compared to the previous one.

This should be an affirmation of Beihu's work in recent years, of course, appearing in the candidate list does not mean that he will be elected, because in such an election, the election is a difference, and from the current situation, Luo Shanzheng should belong to the one who has been missed. But such a difference and a failure are two different things. This is for the party or the whole country. Cadres with potential who have not yet begun to emerge will have an opportunity to promote and show their faces, and with such an opportunity, the next election will be much smoother.

But in any case, Zhou Shuming and Zhan Jidong did not appear in the list, which means that both of them are out, and Zhou Shuming's transfer to the secretary of the provincial party committee is out of the question, because there is no secretary of the provincial party committee in the country who is not a member or alternate member of the Central Committee, and the same is true for Zhan Jidong. Not being an alternate member means that the political career is almost over.

This is not an unexpected accident, I think it was the fierce fight between the two that affected the two, or the two were victims of the political game.

Zhou Shuming and Zhan Jidong are about to withdraw from the stage of history, and a new leadership group will appear in the political arena of the entire Beihu Province, that is, the secretary of the provincial party committee is Lu Zhengdong, and the governor is Yu Jiangyou. Unexpected situations can also occur. The secretary of the provincial party committee was transferred from outside, and Lu Zhengdong was appointed separately. Because this time the change in provincial and ministerial leadership is very large. Some of them suddenly entered the political and political bureau, and even entered the Standing Committee of the political and political bureau. The members of the Central Committee have changed so much at once. With so many seat changes, anything can happen.

It depends on the needs of the game and the layout as a whole, and it is possible to do less than the last minute.

Qi Yumin did not care about the election, he was concerned about his whereabouts, and Qi Yumin judged with common sense that after the end of the party congress, since the status of a large number of officials within the party had already changed, the Central Committee would make centralized adjustments to a large number of cadres after the meeting. Only at that time will his final arrangement be finalized.

In front of Qi Yumin, there are nothing more than these seats.

If the above transferred him back to Beijing, it would be reasonable. It is also possible to transfer him to another province and become a governor; The biggest possibility is to continue to stay in Beihu, continue to wear the hat of an alternate member of the Central Committee, and stay up, it shows that you are very hopeful. This is the most frustrating arrangement. But how it was arranged, Qi Yumin didn't know, and he couldn't pack the ticket in his hands at the end.

Even the people who have always been well-informed in the system have no definite news.

Because of excessive thinking, Qi Yumin lost sleep this night. Lying on the bed, thinking about all possible situations, although my eyes were closed, there was no sleepiness in the slightest. He looked at his bedside watch again and again, it was two o'clock in the morning, four o'clock, six o'clock, his mind was dizzy, he thought that there was still a meeting, and at seven o'clock, he got up and washed, went downstairs to the courtyard for a short walk, and then went to have breakfast.

During the day, there were again meetings and discussions, and at the end of the delegations there was a pre-selection.

On the last day of the meeting, the list was announced, and Qi Yumin was stunned to find that Lu Zhengdong was elected as a member of the Central Committee with a high vote, and the newly promoted alternate members Yu Jiangyou and Tang Zhongkai were both elected.

Originally, the arrival of Yu Jiangyou made him a little unwilling to dash his hopes of being promoted to vice governor, but the things in the officialdom are unclear and unclear, sometimes it is fate, fortunately, he was given a position as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and among more than a dozen standing committee members, his ranking, after the secretary and the governor, belongs to the third in command in the province. He originally wanted to work for a few more years, no matter how good or bad, he would be content if he was transferred out of Beihu to take up a full-time position. Who Cheng thought, at a critical time, Luo Shanzheng, who was originally within the range of the difference, actually lost the election, which was tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

He couldn't blame anyone for such a defeat, and the organization recommended him as a key candidate, but the deputies didn't sell it, which can only be said to be his own problem.

It is an undeniable fact that the alternate members of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee are elected by a margin of election, and since there is a difference, there will inevitably be losers, although defeat is not necessarily the end of the world. It does not necessarily mean that one's own conduct and performance are not good, but the result of voting and weighing. Every candidate must be prepared to be elected and be unsuccessful. For those who lost by the margin, the election was a severe test. Only by not being discouraged can we win the selection again. There are also many people who have been elected after the losers over the years.

But in any case, it was a great blow, and with such an accident, he felt that his future was even more uncertain.

And such a situation was also unexpected by Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong.

Such an accident also made Zhou Shuming and Lu Zhengdong very surprised, and what was unexpected was that this undoubtedly disrupted the team structure of the province and the deployment of the central government, according to the usual practice. The full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee serves as the third-in-command of the provincial party committee. They are generally alternate members. In this way, there are two members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee who are alternate members, but the third in command is not, which will even cause headaches in the ranking, so there is no way to adjust the division of labor.

Zhou Shuming's mood was naturally not good, and he had the opportunity to work for a few more years, but because of Erin Bay Lake and Zhan Jidong, he fell short in the end. In such a situation, the final outcome is usually to go to the National People's Congress or the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, to be the director and deputy director of a special committee or something, all day long, to hold meetings, go abroad, go to various places to inspect and inspect the work, and transition to complete retirement, but Zhou Shuming still got some hints, that is, to take into account the situation in Beihu. It is better to work in some departments in the capital for another two years than to go directly to the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Originally, he wanted to drag on such a thing. After Lu Zhengdong took office, Lu Zhengdong had a headache, but the above did not give him a chance to drag it at all, and the premise of his new work arrangement was that he had to stand on the last shift to ensure that there would be no chaos before he left Beihu......

Hearing that the secretary called him, Lan Chaohua immediately walked over from the office Lan Chaohua stood respectfully opposite Zhou Shuming's wide boss desk, looking at Zhou Shuming with a smile in his eyes, waiting for Zhou Shuming's orders. Don't look at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, but in private, alone in front of Zhou Shuming, Lan Chaohua still has to be very low-key, and the more he is in front of Zhou Shuming, the more low-key and humble he is in front of Zhou Shuming, because Zhou Shuming will be very sensitive when he is about to leave this post.

This time Zhou Shuming failed to get his wish, and also let Lan Chaohua really experience what it means to change rapidly, his appointment as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee has not yet come down, and there are still variables, if he can be promoted to deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he will at least have the opportunity to work in the post of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference when he reaches the age, and finally enter the ranks of the main department to retire, so, no matter when, Lan Chaohua is very good in front of Zhou Shuming, cordial and respectful, especially at this time, the more so,

Zhou Shuming saw that he was still standing there modestly, so he glanced at him through the glass lenses of his reading glasses, pointed down at the chair with the pen in his hand, and motioned for him to sit down and talk. After getting clear instructions, Zhou Shuming pulled out a chair next to him, sat down, and waited for Zhou Shuming to speak, seeing Lan Chaohua like this, which really made Zhou Shuming feel very useful.

"You also know that Qi Yumin lost the election, and the division of labor of the provincial party committee needs to be adjusted, I want to ask for your opinion first."

No matter how humble Lan Chaohua is in front of Zhou Shuming, but a fact is already in front of him, his political life, in three years, may depend on Lu Zhengdong's attitude, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, may be his last and most beautiful position in the officialdom.

Lan Chaohua glanced at Zhou Shuming, habitually owed a debt forward, and said, "Secretary Shuming, if you want me to see, there are countless unknown factors in it. The dominant power is still in your hands, what do you say, I will do! ”

Zhou Shuming smiled and nodded, put down the pen in his hand, picked up the thermos cup on the table, took a sip of water, leaned his back tightly against the back of the boss's chair, shook it vigorously and said:

"Those who should come will come, those who should go will definitely go, this day will come sooner or later, it's useless to complain."

Zhou Shuming sighed a little, although Zhou Shuming was a little unwilling to be depressed in his heart, but he also knew that it had become an established fact that he was not transferred to other provinces in the end, no matter how useless he was, and those negative feelings did not want to be revealed in front of others.

"The replacement of the old and the new is a natural law, and we must understand the good intentions of the central government, and frankly speaking, the central government has fully affirmed my work in presiding over Beihu Province. I am also conscientious and have done something for the people of Beihu. With a clear conscience, as for the future arrangements, I have to resign myself to fate. There are not many ideas now, so let's make a smooth transition and retire for the rest of our lives! ”

Lan Chaohua heard Zhou Shuming say this, he was completely detached, and he knew that he was not sincere, he had been a provincial-level cadre for seven or eight years in the officialdom, who didn't want to go to the next level and be promoted to the position of national leader when he was about to retire! In that way, he can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle of his life, what kind of scenery should it be, conventional measures, in a certain aspect of the country, have indeed made political achievements that others cannot do, causing a sensation in the country. The common people are very popular there. The leaders of the central government are also impressed by you. So that you have a chance to stand out. In the more than 20 years since the reform and opening up, there has been no precedent for the top party and government leaders in Beihu Province to be promoted to the leadership of the country. Occasionally, one or two were transferred to other provinces and served for a few years before they were promoted to the position of the leader of the country. It's almost a fate. All the top leaders who have served in Beihu have already predicted their fate in advance, that is, to work until retirement, or go to the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to find an idle job to retire, and he has now made an exception.

According to Lan Chaohua's habit, if he couldn't get anything right, he pretended to be confused, didn't ask, and waited for the leader to speak. Only by following the leader's train of thought can you avoid making low-level mistakes.

But it's different. Lan Chaohua thought about it in his heart, Lu Zhengdong, the first deputy secretary, is the governor, this is to move, but it is to move to the position of the number one, and the latecomer is already Yu Jiangyou; Qi Yumin originally grasped the organization of the party and the masses, no matter how it was arranged, it was a big blow to Qi Yumin.

This is also the case, Qi Yumin took the newspaper in his hand, read it several times, took a few big puffs of cigarettes, pressed the remaining cigarettes into the ashtray fiercely, twisted them into a pile, and then sat heavily in the boss's chair, closed his eyes, and pondered. He secretly cursed in his heart, which really made people feel aggrieved.

You can't be in a hurry for such a thing, you can't hold your breath, you are despised, and he still understands these common senses after so many years of crawling in the officialdom.

Lan Chaohua pondered for a while, looked at Zhou Shuming, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said, "Secretary Shuming, I have an immature Jianyi, you see if this arrangement is more appropriate." Secretary Zhilu is on the line of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his work cannot be moved. The ones who can move are actually Luo Shanzheng and Tang Zhongkai. They are a provincial city, an Anxin, and they are all alternate members, among the two of them, in terms of qualifications, both of them have them, and Tang Zhongkai still has a slight advantage, but I think it is more appropriate to arrange Luo Shanzheng. First, Luo Shanzheng was transferred from other provinces, and he didn't have such a complicated relationship in the local area, so he couldn't form his own faction, and he would be even more grateful to you, the secretary. And Tang Zhongkai is different, of course, this is just a little bit of me, the final adjudication power is still in the hands of the secretary, what you say, I will execute. ”

Obviously, the division of labor between Jian Yiyi Luo Shanzheng and Qi Yumin is reversed, which is conducive to the formation of a constraint on Lu Zhengdong, which can leave room for Lan Chaohua's future maneuvering, and of course it is also beneficial to Lan Chaohua, but if Tang Zhongkai is chosen, it is also beneficial to Lan Chaohua, and even in a sense, the benefits are greater, which is equivalent to giving Lu Zhengdong a vote, Lan Chaohua can use this to change his role and establish a more special relationship with Lu Zhengdong. It is what Zhou Shuming is happy to see, although Erin Beihu has made a fuss and fallen silent, he has already taken care of the aftermath, but to say that there is no trace left, this is impossible, Erin Beihu is still a piece of his heart, only if Lan Chaohua does not completely fall to Lu Zhengdong, Lan Chaohua will be more active in dealing with those things.

Zhou Shuming was not so much asking for Lan Chaohua's opinion and advice, but rather a temptation to test Lan Chaohua.

At this time, Zhou Shuming gradually opened his original squinted eyes, glanced at Lan Chaohua, said "oh" in his mouth, and then nodded, his eyes revealed a look of appreciation and approval, and seemed to attach great importance to Lan Chaohua's analysis. But he didn't immediately express his position, and he didn't say that this construction is very good, so let's do it according to your construction. In that case, it would be too cityless. To be a big leader, the most important thing is to have a sense of mystery, so that the subordinates feel as if they are close at hand, and the end of the world is far away, forever let the subordinates unpredictable, from your expression, a subconscious action, capture valuable information, and then make inferences, so that they will always live in a state of panic, confusion, and trembling, and they can't figure out what the leader's actions are, and where the power sword in his hand is piercing, so that they are always aware of the importance of leadership, and they are sincerely afraid of the leader. Full of respect, there is no longer the idea of challenging the power of the leader, and I am at ease and a slave who serves the leader to the end.

He felt that the relationship between Lu Zhengdong and the deputy secretary of the organization was delicate, and they could not twist a rope and fight back and forth, so that he would be safer and could divide and conquer. The chairman once said that with a population of seven or eight billion, how can you do it without fighting!

Zhou Shuming's personal experience is that there are so many people in the team and more than a dozen Standing Committee members, it is unrealistic not to fight! Didn't the chairman also say that fighting with the sky is endlessly fun; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fighting with people is a lot of fun. In the past, this was understood as a pejorative meaning, as an expansion of the class struggle. Actually, this is the chairman's contradictory thinking, which is very great and very incisive. Contradictions are everywhere, there are contradictions everywhere, there are struggles, one eliminates the other, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. This is especially true in officialdom, where contradictions cannot be avoided. Only in the mutual struggle can we find a balance that is acceptable to both sides, so as to achieve a superficial harmony. So harmony is the result, and struggle is the process. In order to achieve harmony, there must be a struggle, which is two contradictory sides. (To be continued......)
