Name: My father Yuan Mu

"I agree with Comrade Gao Yi's opinion. I have some understanding of Comrade Jing Ziping. He was the Party Secretary of Liutiao Township in Wu County when I was the County Magistrate of Wu County. Comrade Jing Ziping is a calm and steady person who works diligently and conscientiously. He is not greedy or takes advantage of others. He has achieved outstanding results during his tenure. Therefore, I agree that Comrade Jing Ziping should be appointed as the Executive Deputy Director of the Industrial Park."

"I agree that Comrade Jing Ziping should be appointed as the executive deputy director of the park!" When it was the turn of Organization Minister Dou Xuewen, he did not give a long speech but directly voted for Jing Ziping.

"I vote for Zhao Kui!" The speech of United Front Minister Du Yuquan was also very brief.

"I abstain." Military sub-district administrator Wei Lu Gaoxuan said without raising his head.

Finally it was Shi Gaoye's turn, he was feeling very suffocated.

"I object to Jing Ziping being appointed as the park's executive deputy director. He's too young, only in his thirties. Is he qualified for such an important position?"

"Deputy Mayor Shi! What you said is biased. Secretary Yuan is not even forty years old this year. So do you mean that Secretary Yuan is not qualified for his current position?" Xun Zhicheng said lightly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Gaoye, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back. Although he was Tian Hongyi's man, it did not mean that he could publicly accuse Yuan Mu. That would be a big taboo in officialdom.

Even someone like Tian Hongyi, who has a similar status and background to Yuan Mu, would not criticize Yuan Mu in public, let alone him.

"I'm sorry, Secretary Yuan, that's not what I meant!" Shi Gaoye quickly looked at Yuan Mu and said.

"Hey! Comrade Gao Ye, that's not what you mean. Secretary Yuan is not that stingy, right, Secretary Yuan?" At this time, Tian Hongyi stood up and looked at Yuan Mu with a smile.

Yuan Mu shrugged indifferently. He wasn't so petty as to get mad over such a small matter.

"It's okay, Comrade Gao Ye. I know you don't mean that."

"Thank you, Secretary Yuan!" Shi Gaoye hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Also, Comrade Zhicheng, don't be so serious. Comrade Gao Ye is just speaking the truth, don't you think?" Tian Hongyi looked at Xun Zhicheng with no intention of letting him go and said lightly.

Before Xun Zhicheng could speak, Yuan Mu took over the conversation.

"Comrade Hongyi, how can you be so extreme? I think Comrade Zhicheng has good intentions. He wants to prevent our comrades from making mistakes. We need comrades like him to constantly alert us in our work. What do you think?"

Tian Hongyi's eyelids twitched slightly, but his smile remained unchanged. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Yuan Mu again.

"Okay, let's forget about this matter. Comrade Gao Ye, please continue."

Shi Gaoye glanced at Tian Hongyi cautiously, only to see that the other party was still smiling. However, no one knew that his hands under the table were almost breaking the pen. When Shi Gaoye looked at him, Tian Hongyi nodded imperceptibly, and the other party breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comrade Jing Ziping's reputation during his tenure wasn't very good. Rumors abounded of him being intimate with the female cadres below him, and there were also numerous rumors that he accepted bribes from his subordinates..."

"Deputy Mayor Shi, what you said is biased. Do you have any evidence?" Xun Zhicheng interrupted Shi Gaoye again.

"Minister Xun! Could you please stop interrupting me!" Shi Gaoye was afraid of Yuan Mu, but he was not afraid of Xun Zhicheng, and glared at him directly.

"Deputy Mayor Shi, I don't mean to interrupt you. The point is that there's something wrong with what you said. Don't you think it's ridiculous to casually suspect our own comrades without any evidence? If others said the same thing to you, would you agree?"

"We're talking about Jing Ziping now, not me! You should be careful with your language and avoid personal attacks!"

"Oh, you still know how to be careful with your language? You just casually slandered a cadre. As the leader of the municipal party committee, shouldn't you say such words?"

"Xun Zhicheng! I have tolerated you for a long time! What do you want?" Shi Gaoye finally couldn't bear it anymore. He slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Xun Zhicheng and shouted angrily.

"Look, he's anxious again!" Xun Zhicheng pointed at Shi Gaoye and looked at the people next to him and smiled.

"Xun Zhicheng! I..." Shi Gaoye was about to start scolding but was stopped by Yuan Mu.

"Bang!" Yuan Mu slammed the table and glared at Shi Gaoye and Xun Zhicheng.

"What are you doing! What are you doing? We're in a meeting, are you treating it like you're buying vegetables at the market? Sit down!"

Shi Gaoye had no choice but to sit down with an angry face, and then Yuan Mu looked at Xun Zhicheng again.

"Comrade Zhicheng, please be careful with your words. We are all comrades in the same team, so we should pay attention to unity."

"I'm sorry, Secretary Yuan, I was wrong. I reflect on myself and shouldn't have quarreled with Comrade Gao Ye." Xun Zhicheng stood up and admitted his mistake.

"Secretary Yuan, I'm wrong too. I'm sorry." Following Tian Hongyi's eye signal, Shi Gaoye also apologized.

"Okay, continue!" After giving each of them forty lashes, Yuan Mu waved his hand to signal the meeting to continue.

Shi Gaoye can no longer continue to belittle Jing Ziping. If he continues, Xun Zhicheng will definitely fight him to the end. It will be meaningless.

"I recommend Comrade Zhao Kui to serve as the executive deputy director of the park."

"I vote for Comrade Jing Ziping." With the previous experience as a lesson, Secretary-General Han Qingcheng did not dare to make a long speech and directly voted for Jing Ziping.

"I vote for Comrade Jing Ziping!" Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Cui Gaocen also spoke directly.

"I vote for Comrade Zhao Kui!" The vote of Zong Yulong, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, seemed not so important. Now the score was five to three. If Yuan Mu and Tian Hongyi both voted, it would be six to four, and Yuan Mu would still win.

Tian Hongyi seemed to have anticipated this result and simply abstained from voting. Yuan Mu did not vote either, and the resolution was passed.

The next topic was about the candidate for deputy secretary. Yuan Mu suggested Li Zhao. Li Zhao had followed him since Harbin. He transferred him from Harbin shortly after he took office as secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee. This time, he was promoted to the position of deputy secretary of the industrial park to facilitate further promotion.

In this era, the world is almost ruled by the top leader. Although Tian Hongyi has power behind him, it is impossible for him to reach into Luzhou. The level is still too low, so the deputy secretary's proposal is still for Yuan Mu to win.

Then only the positions of Party Working Committee Secretary and Park Director remained to be determined. Tian Hongyi suggested that a vote be held on the Party Working Committee Secretary first, and Yuan Mu agreed.

This time, Tian Hongyi took the lead in speaking first. He spoke at length, analyzing many pros and cons, and gave examples to illustrate some of Li Dakang's advantages. The only thing he said was that Li Dakang had rich experience at the grassroots level and had served as a secretary to a leader. These were all advantages.
