It’s still the same promise, there will be over 100 gold medals this month, and 20 chapters will be released in one day at the end of the month.

Apart from eating at the restaurant, Zhou Chunhai spent the rest of the night chatting with Feng Sizhe in his room. This was because Minister Zhou had received instructions from Mayor Changning before he came. Feng Sizhe would fully cooperate with him in his specific work in Dahu County, and all he had to do was to follow the arrangements of County Mayor Feng.

It can be said that Zhou Chunhai had no idea how he would carry out his work after arriving in Dahu County, so he had to listen to Feng Sizhe's arrangements in everything.

A new day has begun. Today, Dahu County will face a pretty big storm. However, this storm is coming so quickly that it has already begun without many people noticing.

In the Dahu County Party Committee building, County Mayor Fang Xianzhi had just arrived at work when Director Li Yi'ge invited him to the office of the County Party Committee Secretary. Here, Secretary Sun Shicun was already present, accompanied by Zhou Chunhai, Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee, whom he knew.

Zhou Chunhai arrived at the Dahu County Party Committee early in the morning. County Chief Fang was obviously very surprised. He knew very well how long the drive from Yongyang to Dahu County took. Unless Minister Zhou came to Dahu County yesterday, there was no reason for him to appear here so early.

"Hello, Minister Zhou..." Fang Xianzhi greeted him warmly out of courtesy, but everyone knew that he said it with some hesitation, which was obviously a sign of ignorance.

Sun Shicun, who was sitting next to him, actually had the same feeling as Fang Xianzhi, but he was better at hiding his surprise. "Haha, County Magistrate Fang is here, please take a seat. I'm actually surprised that Minister Zhou arrived so early."

Sun Shicun said this to convey a message to Fang Xianzhi, that is, he had just learned about this matter, and he had no intention of hiding it from County Magistrate Fang. Zhou Chunhai also heard something from this sentence, "Haha, you two don't have to think too much. I arrived in Dahu County last night, but because it was too late, I didn't want to disturb you, but just found a place to rest."

I just found a place to rest. Who would believe this?

A deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department suddenly came to Dahu County at such a critical time, and he wanted to do it secretly and conceal it from everyone, especially Qi Hengsan, who had many local informants. Obviously, it would be difficult to do it without the cooperation of the county party committee. But since he could be so low-key, everyone could guess who was behind it. It must be County Magistrate Feng Sizhe.

But no matter why County Magistrate Feng did this, it was obviously inappropriate to discuss the matter at this moment, because at this time Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Fang had already guessed the purpose of his visit, and he must be making plans for the next step that Feng Sizhe mentioned.

"Haha, Minister Zhou represents the municipal party committee after all. Since we have come to Dahu County, we, as the hosts here, should do our best to be good hosts. How can it be said to be too late? But since other friends have received Minister Zhou, we have nothing to say. And I just want to ask, does Minister Zhou come to Dahu County at this time with any instructions from higher authorities?" Sun Shicun asked Zhou Chunhai with a laugh. After thinking about it, he felt it was necessary to say something, that is, as the county party secretary, he also knew who would come to greet him.

Zhou Chunhai certainly didn't think that Feng Sizhe would be the one to greet him. It's just that some things are one thing for everyone to guess, and another thing for someone to point it out. "Haha, Secretary Sun, you're joking. Well, since you asked the main question, I'll tell you the mission of my visit today. In fact, I came to Dahu County because I was appointed by the municipal party committee to announce the decision."

When he said this, Zhou Chunhai's face became much more serious. He took out a piece of information from his briefcase and began to read it aloud, "According to the decision of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee of Zhongzhou Province, He Zhuhua's position as Minister of Propaganda is cancelled and he is appointed as the Deputy Secretary of the Dahu County Party Committee. Comrade Niu Daxin's positions as the Organization Minister of the County Party Committee, member of the County Party Committee Standing Committee, and member of the Committee are cancelled and he will be appointed to another position."

This book decided that the competition for the deputy secretary of Dahu County was settled and could not be changed. When hearing that Niu Daxin not only did not become the deputy secretary of the county party committee in the end, but was also transferred out of Dahu County, Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Fang both laughed bitterly. Not only did he not win the competition, but he also lost his position in the end. I don't know if this was Niu Daxin's miscalculation.

After a brief pause, Zhou Chunhai saw Sun Shicun and County Chief Fang exchange a wry smile, and then he continued, "Remove Comrade Qi Hengsan's position as deputy county chief and appoint him as head of the United Front Work Department. Remove Li Yige's position as director of the County Party Committee Office and appoint him as head of the Organization Department. Remove Jia Bin's position as head of the United Front Work Department and appoint him as head of the Propaganda Department. At the same time, please ask the Dahu County Party Committee to decide and nominate a new director of the County Party Committee Office and a deputy county chief who is a member of the County Government Standing Committee, and report to the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee for discussion and decision."

Finally, a series of personnel changes were read out by Zhou Chunhai, but in fact everyone knew that this inconspicuous piece of paper had completely changed the political landscape of Dahu County, causing fundamental changes in some of the original factions and personnel in Dahu County. It could be said that the situation in Dahu County was about to change drastically because of this incident.

"Minister Zhou, there is one thing I don't understand. Why should Deputy County Mayor Qi be appointed as the Minister of United Front Work? It seems..." Sun Shicun thought for a moment and finally expressed his doubts.

"This seems a little unreasonable, doesn't it?" Zhou Chunhai seemed to know what Sun Shicun wanted to ask. He understood what he meant as soon as he saw his attitude. "Huh, if I remember correctly, Qi Hengsan has been the Standing Committee Member and Deputy County Mayor for nearly three years, right? In three years, has the economy of Dahu County changed at all? No. On the contrary, he does have a special ability in uniting comrades. It would be better for such a person who does not care about politics to be made the Minister of United Front Work. This is also to tap into his expertise."

Sun Shicun asked this question because he felt that Niu Daxin, a local force, had been taken down. If Qi Hengsan was placed at the bottom of the county committee, such suppression would be detrimental to unity and even more detrimental to the art of balance. Before, he had only heard Feng Sizhe say that two county committee standing committee seats would be vacant, one of which would be given to him, and his only job was to help Feng Sizhe get one while taking the other. He did not expect such a big change in the county committee, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Zhou Chunhai's answer was reasonable and well explained the significance and reason of the municipal party committee's action. This was considered to have shut Sun Shicun up.

In comparison, Fang Xianzhi was much more honest. Anyway, all he wanted was for He Zhuhua to be the deputy secretary, so that he would have a seat at the secretary's office meeting. As for the rest, he didn't think that much, or couldn't think that much. In fact, even if he thought about it, it probably wouldn't have any effect, because who would take his attitude and ideas seriously?

Zhou Chunhai finished reading the municipal party committee's appointment, then he slowly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then said slowly but firmly, "This is the municipal party committee's order, I am just a messenger. At the same time, I hope you can convene a county party committee standing committee this afternoon to vote on the question I just raised, and report the two successors to the county party committee standing committee, so that I can report to the municipal party committee and stabilize the situation of unity in Dahu County as soon as possible. You two understand what I mean."

Well, Zhou Chunhai acted so quickly. No doubt he was worried that things might get worse, so he wanted to make Feng Sizhe's mind about the changes to Dahu County settle down as soon as possible.

It's a pity that they had an order from the Municipal Party Committee. Sun Shicun and Fang Xianzhi could not refuse it. After all, Feng Sizhe had actually informed them about this idea a long time ago, so the matter was not too abrupt.

"Okay, we will have a morning to work, and then convene the county party committee standing committee meeting on time in the afternoon. Minister Zhou can attend then." Sun Shicun thought about it and decided not to neglect it. In the end, he decided to follow the instructions of the municipal party committee and implement this matter as soon as possible.

The news that Zhou Chunhai came to Dahu County on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee spread quickly. The reason was that Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Fang had talked to many members of the Standing Committee. This was a clear proof. Feng Sizhe, the mastermind behind the scenes, was leisurely receiving Zhou Chunhai in his office.

"Sizhe, do you think things will go as smoothly as you wish? As far as I know, Qi Hengsan is not a good person. Will he agree to move him from the ninth position of the Standing Committee to the twelfth? Don't let him make a fuss then."

After reading the report and suggestions that Feng Sizhe wrote to the Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Chunhai was also very worried. He was afraid that the changes in Dahu County this time would be too big and problems would arise. At that time, he, as the main executor of the Municipal Party Committee, would inevitably take the blame.

"Haha, Minister Zhou, don't worry, there won't be any problem. I have made preparations in advance and everything will be as you wish." Feng Sizhe smiled and did not say what he had done. He just gave Zhou Chunhai a reassurance and told him that there would be no problem.

"Oh, that's good. Well...can't Comrade Lin Jianli make some progress in this incident? He is the last-ranked member of the Standing Committee. Even if he is promoted a few places, it will be good." Zhou Chunhai's heart slowly settled when he saw Feng Sizhe's calm expression. He thought about taking the opportunity to win over his confidant Lin Jianli. Although the possibility was very small because the general situation had been decided, he still held out a glimmer of hope.
