Rebirth of Minister Qi

"Xiao Jin went to the higher authorities to ask for policies to establish the Jiangbei New District. We went to great lengths to transfer him back to be the deputy district chief, in charge of industry.

Now Qi Tongwei has been given the task of improving the business environment. He can use this as a lever to make all business-related departments obedient. Instead of reporting to the deputy district mayor in charge of industry, they will report to him, the director of the Business Environment Improvement Office.

The same goes for businesses. Several bosses said privately that dealing with District Chief Wu was simple. First, go to Mei Ge Seafood Restaurant and order a seafood dinner worth several thousand yuan, find two beautiful young ladies, get him drunk, and then book a room for him to sweat and do some exercise.

Then he gave his driver a box of Moutai and a box of Zhonghua cigarettes, and he could even take the district chief's seal and stamp it himself.

Tell me yourself, does he have a brain?

If it weren't for our relationship and the fact that I watched him grow up, I would have asked the Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate him long ago."

Huang Yue obviously knew his nephew's behavior, but he himself was not very clean. Every time he scolded him, he would retort with "You also touched the soup dumplings, and that red and romantic Xiaoli is your little lover, right? You also drink several bottles of Moutai a night."

As the saying goes, integrity brings authority, and fairness brings clarity. If a leader himself is not upright, in the eyes of his subordinates, what he says is just nonsense, and it will be ironic to hear them.

The same is true between uncle and nephew, who should have a respectful relationship, but because Huang Yue is not upright and his words lack strength.

Huang Yue knew that this was impossible to do. If he continued talking, he might end up offending his political allies. He could only sigh.

"Old Jin, I will definitely discipline this kid and let him spend a few years peacefully as the Organization Minister.

Let him be idle in the future, and forget about it if he can’t be helped.”

After hearing what Huang Yue said, Jin Guodong calmed down a little and his tone was not so harsh anymore. He really was a hopeless case.

"Old Huang, it's not that I don't want to help your nephew. He has been with me for several years and we have a deep affection for each other.

If I could help, I would have done it a long time ago.

Besides, if Xiao Jin hadn’t given me face in the past two years, I would have reported him to Secretary Lu of the Municipal Party Committee.

Xiao Jin knew that he was a close friend of mine, so he only communicated to me privately about his several inappropriate behaviors.

I've cleaned up his messes a lot. If he gets into trouble again next time, do you think I can still protect him?

Now the number one and number two in charge of personnel in the district are making decisions directly on my behalf. This is the best sign that they no longer trust me.

I myself don't know if I can continue to sit in this position. You know, Secretary Lu will not hesitate to take action if he feels that his subordinates are not doing the right thing. The previous members of the Standing Committee were directly transferred to remote provinces just because they went against him twice.

Although I was promoted to this position by Secretary Lu, and outsiders may think I am Secretary Lu's direct subordinate, you know the inside story. I was just lucky and happened to have enough qualifications and abilities. Secretary Lu promoted me without any selfish motives.

In fact, Secretary Lu and I have no personal relationship at all.

If we are smart and follow Secretary Lu's footsteps, if he gets promoted in the next few years, he will also give us opportunities.

No matter how bad we are, we can still be promoted to deputy position or even department level in a sub-provincial city. If we continue to contradict him or make him think we are useless, tell me, how long can we stay here?"

Huang Yue also knew that during the period when reform and opening up were in full swing and major cities across the country were vigorously developing the economy, the top leader Lu Xuwei and the second-in-command Chen Guangwei were actually the same type of people, with the same political views and similar backgrounds.

The subordinates they need are cadres who can help them charge into battle and revitalize the overall economy, like Qi Tongwei and Jin Xinkai, who have repeatedly made extraordinary moves and are incredibly young, but are still continuously reused because they are useful.

Their insights into reform and opening up are far deeper than those of ordinary cadres. Being in the Standing Committee, they can feel this atmosphere even more. The top two leaders are always in the same boat. As the deputy secretary, he does not directly manage the economy and is not directly supervised, but he can also feel this atmosphere. For the top two leaders, if these deputies are useful and can develop the economy, they will be reused. If they are felt to be an obstacle, the two of them will decide that the deputy secretary will have to go to inland provinces to work on poverty alleviation the next day. This is not without precedent.

"Old Huang, your nephew is not that conspicuous in the position of Organization Minister. As long as you manage his off-duty time, he is still a good person.

There are some merits, but if he continues to mess around after get off work and the first and second bosses get wind of it, we'll both be implicated. Think about it, if I go back, the city government still has a lot of things to do."

Huang Yue sat in his office, sent his secretary away, and wondered what on earth he was doing here.

He had his own ambitions to transform the city. At that time, he was the executive vice mayor. As soon as the proposal was put forward, the new mayor Chen Guangwei criticized the new draft as worthless. Not even two months later, he was transferred from the busy position of executive vice mayor to deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

Most of the work on hand now is empty work such as party building. Personnel matters are handled by the organization minister, and the decision-making power of the municipal party committee lies with the municipal party committee secretary. He is extremely embarrassed now, as he was promoted in name only and demoted in reality, and has no real power at all.

The other members of the Standing Committee could see his predicament, otherwise would the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Liu Dexu dare to confront him directly at the Standing Committee meeting? In name, he, as the deputy secretary, was the leader.

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

On the other side, in the office of the municipal party secretary.

Lu Xuwei was making tea for Chen Guangwei.

“Old Chen, now is a critical period, and the news has spread from the province.

Your old friend Secretary Li Lujie has already served as deputy secretary. Executive Wu is going to transfer to the position of Secretary of the Mingzhou Municipal Party Committee and concurrently serve as deputy secretary. The secretary has already talked to me. If I am willing to leave at the end of the year, the executive position will be given to me.

If you want to sit in this office, the decision-making power still lies with the secretary, and you must show him your achievements.

When the term of office officially changes next year, Governor Pei Yihong will be transferred, and the governor will most likely be chosen from among several deputy secretaries.

Now the most senior secretary of the Mingzhou Municipal Party Committee has been transferred and has no chance to compete. The chances of Li Luche and Wu Changchang are similar.

You know what I mean."

These days there are more than two deputy secretaries of the provincial party committee, and the number of deputy secretaries has not been officially reduced yet. Jiangdong Province now has four deputy secretaries, one of whom is also the provincial governor, and the other three are also the heads of two sub-provincial cities and secretaries of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
