Official career: From director to secretary, I want to improve myself

"Minister Liu, are you really going to let us conduct a pilot program in Jinghai City?"

"Yes! Jinghai City's problems aren't just economic and social issues, they're primarily official ones! Jinghai's cadre turnover is very low, especially among department- and deputy-department-level cadres. Many have been entrenched in Jinghai for years. The previous mayor spent twenty years rising from deputy county magistrate to mayor, so he's deeply entrenched in Jinghai."

"Is this a good thing? For some, it might help stabilize the local situation, straighten out relationships between superiors and subordinates, reduce conflicts, and even promote economic and social development. But in our view, this is wrong. If something goes wrong, the whole place will collapse!"

"It seems like you were the one who opened the curtain on Pingkang County before, but I think once Jinghai is exposed, it will be far more powerful than Pingkang!"

Minister Liu Yi has his own understanding of some of the current cadre systems.

Jinghai City has many problems with cadres, which are caused by the situation in the province. Now, in the view of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, the situation is becoming difficult to resolve.

"Minister, if we need to deal with this, the two current candidates don't actually meet the criteria you mentioned. Tang Weisheng has been working in Jinghai City since graduation, and has worked in the Public Security Bureau, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Planning Commission, and so on! Zhou Zhihe was also transferred here, rising from a member of the Standing Committee and Minister of Propaganda to the current Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and it was the same in Jinghai as well."

"So, it all depends on your work. The results of your two investigations will affect your superiors' appointments and the future development of millions of people in Jinghai."

Minister Liu patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder, making him suddenly feel the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"understand!"

"Are these the materials for the conversation?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, have someone take it to my room."

"it is good!"

After Jiang Yuan and Liu Yi finished talking, they turned around and left.

The officials and clerks outside who were watching the show were also extremely excited. They saw that Executive Vice Mayor Tang Weisheng and Municipal Party Secretary Lin Denian both looked unhappy, and they started to talk about it.

As for what's happening at the top or who will be the mayor, people don't really care that much.

.........

"Director, Director Jiang!"

Li Yuan called Jiang Yuan quietly from the side.

"Director Li, what's going on?"

"Uh, Zhou Zhihe is here."

"Zhou Zhihe? Deputy Secretary Zhou? What is he doing here?!"

Jiang Yuan frowned. Zhou Zhihe was now the subject of cadre inspection. Generally speaking, he could not come here on his own unless he received a request for a conversation from the inspection team.

He should avoid suspicion more than anyone else at this time!

After all, it is still being rumored that he was behind this incident of blocking the road and crying out for justice.

"I don't know either. He came here secretly and is waiting in the office over there. Do you want to go over and meet him?"

"Okay, you go report the situation to Minister Liu, and I'll go meet with Deputy Secretary Zhou."

"understand!"

This is also to allow this young deputy director to show his face to the deputy minister. There are many departments in the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, and even more deputy directors. If he is not the responsible leader, it is not easy to meet the deputy director of a marginal department like the deputy minister.

This can be considered as Jiang Yuan's appreciation for him these days.

Although I grew up in the city, I have deep feelings for the grassroots in rural areas, and since they have a bright future, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand.

Jiang Yuan was also very curious about the purpose of this person's visit, so he took Huang Hao and the other person, took the notebook and other things, and came to this office.

"Director Jiang!"

Zhou Zhihe wore a pair of glasses, had a thin face, and looked very powerful.

Seeing the two people come in, he stood up and greeted Jiang Yuan, the leader.

"Sit down, Secretary Zhou, please sit down!"

The two shook hands and sat down.

"Secretary Zhou came to us on his own. Is there something going on?"

Jiang Yuan also went straight to the point. He had a lot of work to do and didn't want to waste too much time.

Moreover, if this person came here to stab Tang Weisheng, Jiang Yuan could already imagine what he might say.

"Director Jiang, I came here to talk about Executive Vice Mayor Tang."

As expected!

"Now, I've heard a lot of bad rumors about him in Jinghai City. Some people even say that I was the one who instigated those people to go there with the goal of defeating Executive Tang and taking the position of mayor myself."

"That's complete nonsense! The conflict between Comrade Tang Weisheng and I was simply a disagreement on work. We had different views on some things, so there was a little conflict. There was never any personal feelings involved. In the competition for mayor, although I also want to make further progress, I will never resort to such means!"

Zhou Zhihe was filled with righteous indignation, spitting everywhere. It seemed that he had been holding back his anger towards these remarks for a long time, and today he completely vented it out!

Upright and awe-inspiring!

Jiang Yuan and Huang Hao looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Is this person also here to explain his relationship with Tang Weisheng?

No, they are really harmonious. All the quarrels and slamming of the table are because of work!

"Then tell me in detail."

"Okay, the initial conflict between us started from..."

Soon, Zhou Zhihe told Jiang Yuan and the others about his situation and the conflicts they had at work. Everything was recorded.

"So, I came here this time to explain things clearly to the leaders. I also believe that Tang Weisheng is more suitable for the mayor position than me or anyone else. He has his own understanding of economic development and is more capable than me. With him developing Jinghai, I believe Jinghai's future will definitely be better!"

"Secretary Zhou, the principles of the organization are not something you can just say is unsuitable. This is a very serious matter!"

Jiang Yuan interrupted him. He had endured saying this in front of the people from the Organization Department. In fact, he already felt that Tang Weisheng would not be the mayor because he was "deeply rooted" in Jinghai!

The words that Minister Liu Yi said to him were not just ordinary chats, but had deep meaning.

But now this candidate has come up with this too. Does he really think there's no one left in the Organization Department to choose from? The two of them are even trying to give way to him!

"As for the appointment of officials in Jinghai, it is a matter for the higher-ups to consider. All we have to do is obey! I will write down your opinions, and they will take them into consideration."

"Okay, thank you Director Jiang!"

Zhou Zhihe breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had really let go of the things in his heart. He felt much better and was not so tense anymore.

Jiang Yuan saw him off.

After coming back and getting the record of the conversation with this person, I felt a little emotional again about this group of people in Jinghai City.

Is this true kindness, or is it a retreat to advance?

Jinghai was like a cloud of fog, and Jiang Yuan had to clear it away to see what was inside.
