Lin Zheng also said, "Secretary Qian, hey... it is the greatest honor of my life to work with you. No matter where you go, we are friends and we will remember you!"

Yang Heping's eyes were red at this time. He didn't expect that his words would come true. What he worried about became true... Although Qian Lingyun was not demoted by Secretary Wang, he was transferred to a backward city to serve as the top leader in disguise... He sat there with his head down, sighing constantly. He didn't have the courage to look up and look at Qian Lingyun, for fear that tears would fall.

Qian Lingyun is a bit harsh, but he is also a righteous leader. He has a clear sense of right and wrong. Wrong is wrong, right is right. He never uses words like "almost" or "okay"... What a lovely person he is, what a respectable leader!

After Qian Lingyun finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads silently, and the atmosphere in the venue became depressed. It seemed that no one was very interested in Guo Xuecai's arrival.

Guo Xuecai also noticed that everyone was in a bad mood and felt unhappy! He thought, today is your Qian Lingyun's farewell party, but it is also my new job meeting. Why should the atmosphere be controlled by you, Qian Lingyun? It's my first day at work, and I'm so negative. It's really unlucky!

But Chang Zaixin was present, and although he was unhappy, he didn't know what to say. He just lowered his head, looked gloomy, and said nothing.

Chang Zaixin waved his hands at everyone and said with a smile, "Okay, Secretary Qian's speech was very down-to-earth. It can be seen that Secretary Qian has established a deep revolutionary friendship with everyone during his time in Pingyang. Everyone is reluctant to leave him, and he is also reluctant to leave Pingyang! However, spring comes and goes, the tides rise and fall, and all things have their own cycle. I hope Secretary Qian will make more dazzling achievements during his tenure in Jingzhou."

He turned to look at Guo Xuecai, who had been looking gloomy, and said with a smile, "Now, please let our Secretary Guo say a few words to everyone. Everyone applaud and welcome him!"

The stiff expression on Guo Xuecai's face softened a lot. He straightened his shirt, stood up with a smile, and said to everyone: "Everyone here is an old friend. I feel honored to be able to return to Pingyang again. I hope that everyone will unite sincerely and work together to govern Pingyang well! ... Okay, thank you all."

After Chang Zaixin took Qian Lingyun away.

Guo Xuecai called Lin Zheng and Yang Wanquan to his office.

The three of them sat opposite each other.

Guo Xuecai smiled and said, "Congratulations to both of you. After working diligently for Pingyang for many years, you have finally received recognition from the provincial party committee."

He mentioned the provincial party committee's affirmation, but did not mention Qian Lingyun's help in the two people's promotion, intending to downplay Qian Lingyun's influence on Pingyang cadres.

Lin Zheng and Yang Wanquan smiled at each other.

With Lin Zheng's qualifications, it is only natural for him to be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

It’s just that Yang Wanquan followed Qian Lingyun’s path from executive director to mayor, but his qualifications and background were not strong enough. If it weren’t for Qian Lingyun’s support behind the scenes, he might not have been able to sit on the mayor’s seat.

So relatively speaking, Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi are more grateful to Qian Lingyun for his support than Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng smiled and said, "We also welcome Secretary Guo to return to Pingyang and take charge of the power!"

Yang Wanquan grinned and said, "Welcome back, Secretary Guo."

Guo Xuecai smiled and said, "I am not unfamiliar with Pingyang's environment, and I am also familiar with Pingyang's cadres. This time when I came back, Secretary Wang assigned me a task, the first of which is to complete the two teams of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. But this task has stumped me! I would like to hear your opinions first to see where we can start to promote outstanding talents!"

This is a good deed with immeasurable merit!

If one person is moved, the whole situation will move as well. Just like now that Lin Zheng has been promoted to deputy secretary, the position of Organization Minister is vacant. A member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee can be selected to fill the position, and the succession will be in the form of ascending the ladder... However, the candidate for deputy mayor must be selected from the heads of municipal units and county heads... The scope is too broad, the positions are few, and the competition is fierce. If things go wrong, conflicts will arise.

This is why Guo Xuecai felt embarrassed, so he had to consult with Lin Zheng and Yang Wanquan first to select two people who were not controversial...

In fact, Lin Zheng has the most say in this matter. He has the information of the city's outstanding reserve cadres in his hands. He knows clearly who is qualified and who is not qualified.

However, Lin Zheng would not speak rashly before figuring out Guo Xuecai's true intention.

We have to see first whether Guo Xuecai has a candidate in mind!

Yang Quanquan said, "The top leaders of these counties and districts who are qualified are almost reaching the age limit. There is only one Liu Yong left, who has been elected as the deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress... The top leaders of the county-level units, such as the Finance Bureau, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, and the Development and Reform Commission... are just the right age and qualifications, and they are all eyeing the position of deputy mayor. However, there are too many wolves and too little meat. If we choose from them, I am afraid that many conflicts will arise. We have just had a corruption case in Pingyang. If they fight among themselves and expose some black materials on each other... it will undoubtedly make the political situation in Pingyang worse. So if we want to choose from them, we must be cautious! I suggest that we should choose from young cadres at the department level, such as the Municipal Party Committee Office, the Government Office... these units... Many of them are secretaries, have followed several leaders, and have learned almost everything they should learn. Perhaps we can select two talents who are capable of taking on the important task from among them and recommend them to the Provincial Party Committee."

Guo Xuecai nodded silently, "Well, what you said makes sense. For Pingyang now, stability is the first priority... Secretary Lin, do you have any suggestions?"

Through observation, Lin Zheng realized that when Yang Wanquan was making his suggestion, Guo Xuecai did not look at him at all, but looked at his watch from time to time, or looked out the window... Obviously, he was not interested in Yang Wanquan's proposal at all...
