When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 53 Secretary Meeting

Saturday morning, sunny.

Shannan County Party Committee, Liu Yong’s Office.

Liu Yong sat in the main seat, calm and composed.

The county magistrate and deputy secretary of the county party committee Ma Qingyuan and the full-time deputy secretary of the county party committee Chen Anke sat on both sides of him.

Liu Yong slowly said, "I called you two here today mainly to discuss the appointment of the first and second in command of Weishui Township.

Hu Dawei has been in charge of the work for some time, and his mind is no longer on the post of Weishui Township. Therefore, for the long-term development of Weishui Township, and for the harmony and stability of our Shannan County.

The positions of secretary and head of Weishui Township must be decided as soon as possible, preferably today. As the top leaders of the county, we three have an unshirkable responsibility for the appointment of cadres!"

We must keep a close eye on the selection and ensure that we select someone who can truly serve the people, is capable and responsible, so that we can be worthy of being the county's parent official.

Comrade Qingyuan, Comrade Anke, if you two have any suggestions or candidates, please bring them up for discussion."

After Liu Yong finished speaking, he calmly drank a sip of water and glanced at the two of them out of the corner of his eye.

As the county party secretary, if he directly stated his candidate, others would think that he was being arbitrary and did not give others a chance to speak.

Therefore, every time he held a meeting with secretaries, he would let Ma Qingyuan and Chen Anke speak first. If the two of them did not speak, he would speak next.

Ma Qingyuan and Chen Anke had also worked with Liu Yong for some time and knew his habits very well. They looked at each other and smiled, but no one said anything.

They knew that Liu Yong was just being symbolically polite and demonstrating his democracy. If the two of them really took the lead in proposing candidates as Liu Yong said, it would definitely cause Liu Yong's dissatisfaction.

Ma Qingyuan tactfully said, "Secretary Liu, don't keep us in suspense. Just reveal your candidate and let the three of us discuss it. As long as he is talented and can be put to great use, why wouldn't the two of us support him?"

Chen Anke also smiled and said, "Yes, Secretary Liu, we have always supported you. As long as your decision does not violate the organization's principles of employment, I will fully support it."

Liu Yong smiled and nodded. This was exactly the result he wanted.

He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Since you two don't have any candidates in mind for the time being, I will throw out some ideas and talk about them.

Regarding the candidates for the Party Secretary and the Mayor of Weishui Township, after careful consideration, I proposed that Li Lin be appointed as the Party Secretary and Yang Ping be appointed as the Deputy Party Secretary and Mayor.

Although Comrade Li Lin has little experience, he has the advantage of age, high enthusiasm for work, and the courage to innovate. Most importantly, he once served as a secretary for the main leaders of the municipal government, and his vision and position far exceed many cadres of the same level.

I want to employ him and see if his creativity can help change the poor and backward appearance of Weishui Township. If you two have any thoughts on my proposal, please speak frankly. "

Liu Yong nodded slightly with a smile on his face, showing that he was confident.

Ma Qingyuan frowned slightly, exchanged glances with Chen Anke, and then said worriedly: "Secretary Liu, it is good to use young people, but it depends on where they are used.

I think Li Lin is too inexperienced. The work of Weishui Township is complex and arduous, and we need an experienced comrade to take the helm. Comrade Li Lin is certainly motivated, but he is obviously lacking in experience in handling complex issues at the grassroots level.

As for Comrade Yang Ping, she has served as deputy secretary of the Party Committee for two years. She has adapted to the complex working environment in the village and is able to properly handle emergencies. I have no objection to her serving as the village head."

Liu Yong looked like he was listening carefully and nodded continuously, but in his heart he actually denied Ma Qingyuan's opinion. However, he was not in a hurry to show it because there was still one person who had not expressed his opinion.

At this time, Lu An saw that Ma Qingyuan had already refuted Liu Yong's proposal without any reservation, so he no longer held back and said,

"Secretary Liu, County Magistrate Ma and I basically agree with each other, except that I personally believe that Comrade Yang Ping is qualified to be the top leader of a township.

Li Lin had only served as a member of the township party committee and deputy township head before. If he was directly promoted to the top position, would he be able to convince the public? Would other cadres have opinions about this? And would it affect the prestige of the county government and the county party committee? "

Faced with the two people's objections, Liu Yong appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he was not panicked at all.

All of this was within his expectations. Before the meeting, he had already thought about how to deal with this "double-reverse" situation.

His expression became more solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Qingyuan, Anke, I personally think that experience is important, but we must also give young people opportunities. As county-level leaders, we must have the determination and courage to use young people!

Li Lin has demonstrated outstanding coordination and problem-solving abilities in previous poverty alleviation efforts. His new ideas and methods have brought new vitality to the development of Weishui Township.

Especially this time, in response to the inspection of the provincial party committee's research team, the leader of this time, Minister Li Lan, gave a high evaluation of Li Lin's work! Isn't this enough to show Li Lin's extraordinary ability?

By the way, I would like to remind you that according to reliable sources, among the three counties and nine towns inspected by the provincial party committee investigation team, only our Shannan County did not receive any criticism or notice from the higher authorities.

On the contrary, Li Lin’s pioneering “adoption” measure was praised by Minister Li and many provincial leaders. Doesn’t this speak for itself?”

Ma Qingyuan and Chen Anke both showed surprised expressions.
