In early autumn, the continuous rain for several days was like a dense bead curtain, extinguishing the big sun in the sky and making the originally scorching hot weather extraordinarily cool.

Qian Lingyun walked down from the city government building with steady steps in the drizzle.

The raindrops fell gently on his shoulders. He frowned slightly and reached out to brush them away.

Sitting in car number 2 that had been waiting at the door, he wiped his damp hair carefully with a towel and said decisively to the driver, "Go to the Municipal Party Committee."

The driver nodded slightly, quickly started the car, and slowly drove away from the city hall building.

Several days have passed since the last Standing Committee meeting discussed the asset disposal plan for the cotton mill.

During this period, more than 2,000 employees of the cotton mill petitioned continuously like a surging wave.

The municipal party committee and municipal government mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to try to calm the situation.

However, the final result was not satisfactory.

The original large-scale group visit gradually evolved into small-scale decentralized petitions. As soon as one group of people was blocked, another group quickly emerged.

The staff of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were extremely busy, but there was nothing they could do.

It was in this situation that the issue of cotton mill asset disposal had to be put on the table again.

Everyone knew that if a result was not reached quickly, these two thousand people would cause who knows how much trouble they would cause.

Today, the voices supporting Qian Lingyun's asset restructuring have gradually overshadowed Peng Yutao's proposal for a package sale.

Especially those members of the Standing Committee who are in charge of letters and visits, propaganda, and politics and law. They have been extremely busy recently because of the issue of workers' petitions and have no time to rest for a moment.

It was only after Peng Yutao experienced the dilemma of his special car being surrounded by workers twice that he began to realize that there might be something wrong with his decision-making.

Is the idea of ​​"selling in packages" too hasty and not well thought out?

When the workers heard the news that the cotton mill was going to be sold, they were all very angry. They looked as if they wanted to take tools and tear down the municipal party committee and government immediately.

Peng Yutao knew in his heart that if he continued to allow the situation to develop as it did, if a serious petitioning incident occurred, he, as the municipal party secretary, would bear the primary responsibility.

There is no other way, let Qian Lingyun try.

After all, it was he who proposed the restructuring plan. If it fails or causes any serious consequences, the blame can be put on him.

Therefore, this Standing Committee meeting went particularly smoothly.

When Qian Lingyun proposed the establishment of an "Asset Restructuring Office", there was almost no opposition and everyone raised their hands in agreement.

At the meeting, the staff composition of the "office" was further discussed.

It was finally decided that Executive Vice Mayor Yang Wanquan would serve as the director of the office, Vice Mayor Zhang Yi would be the deputy director, and the members would be drawn from the finance, development and reform, housing and urban-rural development and other units at all levels.

These members were divided into three working groups. The first group was responsible for specific asset restructuring work such as connecting with foreign companies. The second group was responsible for ideological work among employees to maintain stability. The third group was responsible for central coordination and logistical support.

Forming a temporary office is a routine operation and everyone agrees with it.

After the meeting, Qian Lingyun left Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi alone.

Qian Lingyun said to the two directly, "I have already selected the leader of Group One. You two can arrange the candidates for the other two groups, but you must select those cadres with a strong sense of responsibility to take the positions."

Yang Wanquan nodded slightly, his eyes revealing determination, and responded, "Mayor Qian, rest assured, we will carefully select the right candidate."

Zhang Yi also quickly stated, "We will go all out to ensure that the asset restructuring proceeds smoothly."

After the two nodded in agreement, they hurried away to arrange their work.

…

In Liu Yong's office, Ye Xiaotao sat there with a flushed face and excited emotions.

He clenched his fists tightly, leaned forward slightly, and expressed his dissatisfaction to Liu Yong with great confusion and some anger.

"Secretary Liu, I have always been firmly following your instructions. I don't know if I did something wrong. Why did you move my ranking as a county party committee member from first to second, while Li Lin, who has been the township party committee secretary for less than half a year, was ranked first?"

Ye Xiaotao's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of confusion and unwillingness.

"I also heard that the county is planning to promote him to be the deputy county magistrate. Secretary Liu, forgive me for being frank, but I don't accept it. Even if Li Lin brought Long Jian to our Shannan County, I have been doing my job conscientiously over the years, and I stay in the town 28 days a month to handle work."

Ye Xiaotao became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up and gestured with his hands.

"For the work of Kaoshan Town, I can say that I gave up everything, just to build the brand of Kaoshan Town as an economic center, just to contribute to the economic development of our Shannan County, just to complete the various tasks you assigned to me... Secretary Liu, can you tell me where I went wrong?"

Ye Xiaotao's chest heaved, and his face was full of unwillingness like a burning flame.

Liu Yong sat upright in the boss chair, leaning firmly against the back, looking solemn and embarrassed.

He supported his chin with one hand and rubbed it constantly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Ye Xiaotao looked at him eagerly, eager to hear an explanation from him.

How exactly is he inferior to Li Lin? This question is inherently naive.

Do you want me to tell you clearly that the reason you are not as good as Li Lin is because you don’t have a strong support like Qian Lingyun behind you.

Liu Yong sighed and finally decided to appease this old subordinate.
