The three of them sat in a circle and drank two sips of tea in silence.

Liu Yong was the first to speak. He said to the two, "It's still about the person in charge of the approval hall. I suggest that Liu Rulin from Kaoshan Town be appointed as the director and Hu Xiaoxing from the County Party Committee Office be appointed as the deputy director. You two can tell me what you think."

Liu Yong drank his tea calmly. As long as Li Lin was not around, he didn't feel any pressure at all.

Shen Zhifei didn't rush to speak, and looked at Ma Qingyuan with a smile.

Ma Qingyuan put down his teacup, without looking at Liu Yong, and tilted his head to look out the window, saying lightly, "I think that the cadre team in our county has been seriously aging in the past two years, and there are too few young people coming up. I don't object to Secretary Liu's opinion. After all, old comrades are more stable and more experienced. But my personal opinion is to try to add some fresh blood to the cadre team. I think... Zhao Jie from Weishui Township is a very good candidate. Li Lin has recommended him twice, saying that this cadre has a positive work attitude and will be a good hand in the future..."

Shen Zhifei then smiled and said, "County Magistrate Ma, I also have a different opinion on what you said. I think Zhao Jie is a very good young man, but he is too inexperienced. The approval hall manages dozens of window units and is the face of our government. Can you rest assured that you put him in such an important position?"

Liu Yong also looked at Ma Qingyuan with a smile, and laughed in his heart, if Li Lin was here, perhaps we would be evenly matched, but you, Ma Qingyuan, want to convince both of us by yourself, haha... you are overestimating your own abilities!

Ma Qingyuan slowly turned his head, frowned slightly, stared at Shen Zhifei, and said, "Minister Shen, what you said is wrong, right? Since Zhao Jie is not suitable for the position of the approval hall, why did your organization department recommend him as a candidate? Why, did you accept benefits from him?"

Phew~

Cough cough cough...

Hearing this, Shen Zhifei choked on the tea and kept coughing...

He felt uneasy and pretended to be calm. He looked at Ma Qingyuan with anger and asked, "Ma County Magistrate, what do you mean by this? I... our Organization Department recommended Zhao Jie. Of course, there are reasons for recommending him, but... it does not mean that he will be qualified for this position! We are just providing a reference. The more we compare, the more we can tell which cadre is the most suitable!"

"In other words, you don't deny that Zhao Jie meets the requirements? He is fully qualified for this position? Then what qualifications and experience are you talking about! You and I are both experienced people, and we have both grown up slowly!" Ma Qingyuan said with a sneer.

It has to be said that Ma Qingyuan is quite capable. These few words almost left Shen Zhifei speechless.

Shen Zhifei took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then glared back at Ma Qingyuan unwillingly, turned his head away and stopped talking.

Seeing that Shen Zhifei was defeated in just two rounds, Liu Yong glanced at him angrily.

He smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Qingyuan, it's not that I don't want to give young people a chance. You know that our county's general policy is to seek stability... I'm afraid that young people won't be able to adapt to the new situation and might cause trouble, and we'll have to clean up the mess, right?"

Ma Qingyuan smiled and nodded, "Secretary Liu, what you said is true, but fear cannot be a reason to deny a person..."

"Of course, we still have to shoulder the responsibility..." Liu Yong wanted to continue speaking, but the sudden ringing of the phone interrupted his speech. He could only wave his hand towards Ma Qingyuan apologetically.

He walked to the desk, picked up his phone and took a look at it, his face changed instantly.

Surprised, why would Yang Huating from the Discipline Inspection Commission call at this time?
