Rebirth of the Rising Sun

After putting down the teacup, Feng Sizhe raised another personnel issue, which was to let Tang Gui step down and replace him with Ru Guoqiang. Of course, since they were an alliance, they would discuss together and share the benefits equally. For example, after Ru Guoqiang took over, the position of the Director of the Department of Culture would be decided by Xu Chaoqi.

How could Xu Chaoqi not be happy if he could get a vacant position at the department level just by supporting it? Although on the surface, the position of Transportation Minister seemed to have more power, economic development has always been the responsibility of the provincial government, so it was reasonable for Feng Sizhe to take the lion's share.

"Well, the governor is right. I support this. So, I will carefully select the candidates and submit them to the Organization Department for assessment." Xu Chaoqi also laughed. At the same time, he also said that he would send the candidates to the Organization Department. To put it bluntly, this is to remind Feng Sizhe that I will report the names to the organization, and the rest is your business. After all, everyone knows that the current Organization Department Minister Miao Zihan has always listened to Governor Feng the most.

"Okay. By the way, Secretary, there is also the mayor of Chuandu, Comrade Huang Gang, and the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Comrade Chang Qingshan, who reported to me that this person has a big problem. As the mayor of the provincial capital, Chuandu's economic development is indeed too slow. This person should be moved. I think Comrade He Wenbao, the secretary of the Xichuan Municipal Party Committee, is a good person. He was in the Xichuan earthquake..."

Next, Feng Sizhe successively proposed a number of personnel transfer issues. Of course, without exception, every time he proposed one, he would give Xu Chaoqi a corresponding benefit. This is the meaning of exchange.

Xu Chaoqi's smile grew wider and wider. As more and more positions were to be appointed by him, how could he be in a bad mood? He finally found the feeling of a secretary. Of course, what shocked him was that Feng Sizhe actually wanted to take action on so many positions. He had never thought of this before.

But even now that he knew, Xu Chaoqi was not angry at all, and he was not dissatisfied at all because Feng Sizhe did not report to him in advance. On the contrary, he was very happy, because the more Feng Sizhe asked, the more benefits he would get. And this time, the most hurt were the Yu faction and the old Ji faction. His Xu faction did not have any changes, but could get a lot of benefits. How could he not support this kind of personnel transfer that was completely beneficial to him?

In two full hours, the two of them screened the middle and senior personnel of the province. Basically, all those who were not from their department were changed. Of course, this was because Feng Sizhe had made preparations long ago. Otherwise, how could the work issues involving so many cadres be discussed in two hours?

After doing all this, Xu Chaoqi let out a long sigh. After listening to Feng Sizhe's plan in full, he couldn't help but be surprised at the other party's courage.

This time, the transfer basically replaced more than half of the middle and high-level cadres in the province, especially in the departments directly under the provincial government, where two-thirds of the cadres were moved, and only a few hard-working leaders were retained. Thinking that this transfer was definitely a makeover for the entire Ducheng Province, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If the transfer of these cadres could be completed smoothly, it would be fine, but what if it could not be passed in the provincial standing committee? That would put them in a very passive position.

Thinking that even now, even if the Xu faction and the Feng faction joined forces, they could not reach half the votes of the Standing Committee, Xu Chaoqi could not help but say with some concern, "Governor, the idea is good, but the key is that it may not be implemented."

"Haha, what is the secretary worried about?" How could Feng Sizhe not understand the meaning of Xu Chaoqi's words, so he simply asked back.

"Well, although we are the secretary and the governor, we may only represent the two of us. We cannot ignore the ideas of other comrades, don't you think?" Xu Chaoqi was really embarrassed to say that as the secretary of a province, he could not control too many votes. This was a very shameful thing, so he could only remind Feng Sizhe indirectly. He believed that his words had been very clear.

Unexpectedly, what Feng Sizhe said next was even clearer. "That's right, the secretary is right. Minister Miao and Vice Governor Xie will fully support my opinions. That's three votes."

Feng Sizhe started counting the votes directly, which was a much clearer way of expression than Xu Chaoqi. Secretary Xu could no longer hide the matter when things came to this point. After all, this matter was related to the distribution of middle and high-level forces in the future of the Capital Province in the next few years, and there was no room for carelessness.

Hearing that Feng Sizhe only counted Miao Zihan and Xie Kaiquan, and did not include Wo Lingming, Xu Chaoqi could not help but be shocked. A while ago, he heard people say that Commander Wo went to report twice a day in order to show his favor to Governor Feng. At that time, he thought that this person was taken in by Feng's faction. But now Feng Sizhe clearly did not count this person, which means that this person cannot be counted as Feng's faction now. If not Feng's faction, could he be Yu's faction? If so, how much advantage would he have even if he joined forces with Feng's faction?

Gritting his teeth, Xu Chaoqi said straightforwardly, "On my side, there is no problem with Secretary Pang and Secretary Zheng." By saying this, he was also reminding Feng Sizhe that you have three votes, and I also only have three votes, which together are less than half of the majority.

After saying this, Xu Chaoqi couldn't help but blush. After all, he was the secretary of a province, but out of the thirteen provincial standing committee members, he could only get the support of two. This was indeed a bit embarrassing to talk about.

Fortunately, Feng Sizhe did not delve into this matter, which saved his reputation as secretary. In response to this, Young Master Feng only had one answer, "That's six votes, enough."

"Are six votes enough?" This was the answer given by Feng Sizhe.

This answer made Xu Chaoqi a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask further. Some things people would have said if they wanted to, and even if they didn't say it, then asking would probably not produce any results. However, based on his understanding of Feng Sizhe over the past year, since he could say such words, then basically there wouldn't be any problems.

The idea of ​​streamlining administration was proposed by Feng Sizhe. With this major personnel change, even Xu Chaoqi could fail, but Young Master Feng must not be careless at all, because if he fails, it is conceivable that the idea of ​​Ducheng Province to vigorously develop the economy and unite the entire provincial government will basically go down the drain, and by then the biggest loss will not be suffered by himself.

After thinking clearly about the importance of the matter, Xu Chaoqi was no longer worried. He was just looking forward to what kind of performance Feng Da Shao would have and how he could turn defeat into victory in the Standing Committee with six votes against seven votes. Could it be that someone from the Yu faction had always been a pawn planted by Feng Sizhe? This matter was puzzling.

Fortunately, the Standing Committee meeting is not far away. Although it is next week, it is already Friday. In other words, in three days, everything will be clear. For some reason, there is a hint of expectation in Xu Chaoqi's eyes.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

The three days passed in a flash. It was the first Monday after the Party’s birthday, and the provincial party committee building in the capital was solemn and dignified.

This morning, the first meeting room of the Provincial Party Committee was wiped clean, and at nine o'clock in the morning, a group of people led by Provincial Party Committee Secretary Xu Chaoqi walked into the meeting room.

Xu Chaoqi was the leader of the group, his expression was solemn and serious, but if you looked closely, you would find that there was indeed a hint of excitement in the corners of his eyes.

The next person to walk in the second position was the provincial governor Feng Sizhe, who was also the youngest member of the entire provincial party committee. He wore a stiff black suit and had a serious expression, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, giving people a sense of amiability and extreme confidence.

Then, a group of standing committee members headed by Yu Chunhao followed behind him and walked slowly into the meeting room one by one.

The director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, Secretary Xu Chaoqi's secretary Wu Xin attended the meeting as the recorder. Then, at 9:15, the door of the meeting room was closed. At this moment, all the middle and senior cadres of the Capital Province could not help but pray in secret. Various signs showed that this meeting would determine the political situation of the Capital Province in the next few years or even longer. This was related to the future career and prospects of each of them. Who would not be anxious?

As the door of the conference room closed, Xu Chaoqi, the secretary, took the first seat. As the host of the meeting, he said loudly, "Everyone is here, I declare the meeting to begin."

"Wait." As soon as Xu Chaoqi's voice fell, another voice immediately sounded.

The voice came too suddenly and too timely, as if it was intended to make things difficult for Xu Chaoqi, and it instantly echoed throughout the conference room.

The person who made this voice was Yu Chunhao. The reason why he shouted was because he found something wrong. And he had another intention for shouting at this time, which was to disrupt Xu Chaoqi's image as the leader and break his momentum as the first secretary. This would indeed be beneficial to the confrontation in the next meeting.

Yu Chunhao had come to the fore so quickly, which made Xu Chaoqi a little unhappy. However, based on the principle that everyone has the right to speak and the party can freely comment and express opinions, he couldn't say anything. He could only ask in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Comrade Yu Chunhao, what can I do for you?"

Calling him by his name instead of his official title already showed Xu Chaoqi's displeasure.
