Name: My father Yuan Mu

Soon, the news that ZY rejected the nomination of the Provincial Party Committee came out. Li Zhaomin had no hope of taking the next step. Many members of the Standing Committee began to murmur in their hearts. They didn't know whether their superiors had an opinion about Li Zhaomin as a person or about the people in their Provincial Party Committee, or simply about Wen Huarong.

Everything is unclear now, but at this moment, Luzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yuan Mu proposed to convene a Standing Committee to re-discuss the candidates for the Standing Committee Deputy Governor.

Wen Huarong was angry and directly rejected Yuan Mu's request. However, although he rejected it this time, the Standing Committee still had to be convened. The selection of the Standing Committee Vice Governor could not be left undecided, as this would make their superiors have ideas about them.

So on the fifth day after Yuan Mu proposed to convene a Standing Committee meeting, Wen Huarong convened all Standing Committee members to hold another Standing Committee meeting.

The reason for the five-day delay was not only because Wen Huarong wanted to save face for Yuan Mu, but also because he wanted to leave time for himself. During these five days, he actively communicated with other members of the Standing Committee to fully understand their thoughts and ensure that they did not "turn against" before he held the meeting with confidence.

At the Standing Committee meeting, Yuan Mu sat in the back, his face calm and composed. Wen Huarong couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't worried at all. Wasn't he afraid that Zhang Shaohuai wouldn't be able to get the position?

Soon Wen Huarong brought up the topic again, and Organization Minister Liu Tianhua announced the three nominated candidates. Wen Huarong replaced him with another person named Hu Zhengzhi, who still ranked first, Zhang Shaohuai ranked second, and the third was a runner-up.

"Comrade Hongtu, would you like to say a few words?" Wen Huarong looked at Jiang Hongtu next to him with a smile to show his respect. He had always wanted to win over the new governor, but unfortunately the other party never expressed his opinion.

In his work at the provincial party committee, Jiang Hongtu had always cooperated with him and hadn't caused any trouble, which made him wonder, is he really that honest?

"Secretary Wen, I'll let it go. Let the comrades speak first." Jiang Hongtu said with a smile and waved his hand.

"Okay, then let's discuss it now, comrades." Wen Huarong didn't continue to talk but nodded and looked at everyone.

Liang Qunfeng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Yuan Mu behind him inconspicuously. Just three days ago, Yuan Mu specifically looked for Liang Qunfeng, and the two talked for a long time. Although Gao Yuliang was Yuan Mu's subordinate, Gao Yuliang was Qi Tongwei's teacher, and Qi Tongwei was the person his daughter Liang Lu liked.

Normally, he shouldn't have helped Yuan Mu, but then again, he could normally help his daughter out, like interfering in Gao Yuliang's promotion, but today's matter concerned his future career, so he had to be extremely cautious.

He didn't know the background behind Yuan Mu before, until this time he finally saw it. Yuan Mu was able to defeat Li Zhaomin's nomination, and later went to Kyoto. It was self-evident what he went there for. He was sure that Yuan Mu must have a big background behind him.

What was the most important thing? The most important thing was that Yuan Mu was too young. He was less than 40 years old and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Moreover, he was the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of a sub-provincial city. He had a bright future. In the officialdom, age was a treasure. They bullied the big and not the small. He was already not young anymore. It would be better if he could take the next step in the future.

But if he can't get promoted, Yuan Mu will still be at his peak when he retires to the second line. This is too scary. Even if he can't use Yuan Mu's favor, his descendants will be able to use it sooner or later. He has more than one daughter, Liang Lu, he also has two sons, and he has to consider them.

So Liang Qunfeng no longer hesitated and immediately voted for Zhang Shaohuai, agreeing to his nomination. As soon as his speech ended, there was a lot of discussion at the scene. Everyone knew that Liang Qunfeng opposed Yuan Mu before, so what was going on now?

Even Jiang Hongtu was slightly surprised, and Wen Huarong's heart skipped a beat. It was a bad start. The third-in-command of the Provincial Party Committee openly opposed him. This was not a good sign! But he didn't say anything, because he believed that the Standing Committee was still under his control and would not get out of control.

But the following scene caused a storm in his heart!

There is no need to say much about Lai Jianbai, Yu Maoxun and Liu Jianye. They have always supported Yuan Mu. They supported Yuan Mu when he was not a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Now that Yuan Mu has become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, they have even less reason not to support him. Normally, Yuan Mu only has three votes, and including Yuan Mu himself, he only has four votes.

Now that Liang Qunfeng openly supports Yuan Mu, he now has five votes. Li Zijin, Bi Qisui, Li Jianming, and Zhao Lichun still support Wen Huarong, but Liu Tianhua suddenly changed his tone and sided with Yuan Mu. As a result, Yuan Mu's votes went from five to six, which is already half!

If all of this was acceptable to Wen Huarong, then Jiang Hongtu's votes of approval were completely unacceptable to him. It was out of control! It was completely out of control! Seven votes in total against Wen Huarong's nomination!

Wen Huarong looked at Jiang Hongtu in disbelief, but he figured it out the next moment. It seemed that Yuan Mu had really gained something from returning to Kyoto this time. Not only did he win over Liu Tianhua, but he also won over Jiang Hongtu!

At this time, Jiang Hongtu was looking at the ceiling as if the vote against was not cast by him. Liu Tianhua was fiddling with the pen in his hand, as if there was some secret in it. Anyway, he just didn't look at Wen Huarong.

Wen Huarong was extremely angry at this moment, but he couldn't vent his anger. He could only continue the meeting. Since the person he nominated was not approved, Zhang Shaohuai's nomination had to continue, and there had to be a result today.

Wen Huarong was the first to speak this time. He wanted to try to use his authority as the top leader to reverse the situation.

"Comrades, I think we should carefully consider the nomination of a vice-governor for the Standing Committee. Is this person suitable? Does he have sufficient experience in local administration? Take Comrade Zhang Shaohuai for example. Of course, I'm not saying Comrade Zhang Shaohuai is bad; he's an excellent comrade."

"But before becoming vice governor, he had almost always worked in public security. Is it really appropriate to put him in the position of vice governor of the Standing Committee? Comrade Hu Zhengzhi, on the other hand, has always been involved in local politics, starting at the county level and working his way up to today. I think he is more capable and has sufficient experience to serve as vice governor of the Standing Committee."

"This will be more beneficial to the construction of our Handong Province. We all want Handong Province to get better and better, don't you think?" After saying this, Wen Huarong kept scanning the crowd, trying to get the answer from their eyes.

But he was disappointed. Only a few people looked at him. The rest were either fiddling with the pens in their hands or looking up at the ceiling. No matter what he said, they didn't respond.
