Peak of Power: Red Bureaucracy 2

Special-grade fighter pilot Feng Yuxing encountered an accident during a mission to drive away enemies, forcing this 'aerial warrior' to transfer to local government work.

Chapter 196: Who is the candidate in the mind of the Provincial Party Committee?

"The candidate we discussed a few days ago may not be an outstanding figure in terms of expanding territory and creating a new situation. This is probably not a reason for the Provincial Party Committee to reject him."

Xia Jiangbian said this in a very casual tone.

"Could it be because of the candidate's age? After all, in this fiercely competitive political arena, while older people often possess more experience and qualifications, and may be more reliable in making certain decisions, their potential for advancement is also relatively smaller..."

"This reason is sheer nonsense! Of the three candidates we submitted, Comrade Gao Jingguan is quite young, only in his early forties.

Being promoted to a deputy department-level cadre at this age is considered quite fast! "

Mayor Qiu Shangnan said this in a firm tone, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with the opinions put forward by Xia Jiang.

"According to the Organization Department's evaluation, these three comrades have a good reputation! Comrade Dai Xiang, did the Organization Department comrades miss some key evaluation indicators when conducting the evaluation?

Moreover, these key points are precisely the details that the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department knows best and has the most say in.

These details may affect the overall evaluation of our comrades, but now we have ignored this information that can influence the provincial party committee's decision?"

Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Xing Pengming looked at Organization Minister Zong Daixiang and said.

When the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Xing Pengming said this, it sounded like he was shirking responsibility. During the recommendation process for a cadre, there are only two indicators that influence the superior's decision. One is whether the cadre has violated discipline, and the other is the people's evaluation of the cadre's work.

These two indicators are precisely the responsibility of these two departments. As long as these two indicators are not up to standard, even if they have the strongest capabilities, it will be useless.

"I don't think it's about this. If it were, the provincial party committee would have called us and scolded us, or asked us to take action!"

Mayor Qiu Shangnan was thinking while speaking, what exactly was the problem?

"Comrade Dai Xiang, are there other comrades in our county who hold the position of county party secretary and possess the corresponding qualifications and abilities, but have not yet been nominated to participate in the Standing Committee's discussions?"

Zong Daixiang was a little confused for a moment. Since the candidate for deputy mayor Guan had been rejected three times by the provincial party committee, the county party secretary had already discussed it!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she thought, "Could it be this guy?" She looked up at everyone and said, "There's another person we haven't discussed yet!"

"Who?" Everyone looked at the Organization Minister with a somewhat anxious expression.

"Comrade Feng Yuxing, Secretary of the Changming County Party Committee. Due to his relatively young age and lack of experience, and the fact that no one actively recommended him to us, we did not include him in the list of candidates for discussion at this Standing Committee meeting.

After all, the nomination of a new official requires broad and strong recommendations to ensure that he or she has leadership skills and a sense of social responsibility.”

Zong Daixiang had a bad feeling. At this time, with the reminder of Mayor Qiu Shangnan, she felt that the candidate in the provincial party committee's mind should undoubtedly be Feng Yuxing.

"Does Comrade Yuxing also meet the conditions for promotion?" Mayor Qiu Shangnan asked Zong Daixiang.

"Comrade Yuxing has served as the Secretary of our Changming County Party Committee for less than a year, but it has been exactly two years since he was promoted to Director. His promotion to Deputy Mayor and Deputy Department Level is still in line with the principles of cadre appointment! However, it is a bit forced."

Organization Minister Zong Daixiang felt a headache while introducing the candidates. If the provincial party committee’s candidates were Feng Yuxing, that would be a real problem.

Because the provincial party committee rejected it twice in a row, no one thought of Feng Yuxing, and they were still desperately discussing the candidate for deputy mayor.

At this time, the municipal party secretary Yan Baiyang looked a little embarrassed. As the municipal party secretary, if the provincial party committee's candidate was Feng Yuxing, then his political acumen was still a little lacking.

"Why didn't I think of this? It seems I'm still focusing on seniority!" Yan Baiyang felt a little unhappy. "Feng Yuxing has only been the county magistrate for a little over a year, and the provincial party committee actually agreed to my proposal to appoint him as the county party secretary in Changming. How could I have forgotten this?"

"No way! If the provincial party committee is really like what we suspect, then it's a bit biased. It will chill the hearts of those veteran county party secretaries and have a negative impact!"

Deputy Secretary Nan Yuancheng suddenly blurted out such a weak statement about party principles, which immediately attracted everyone's contemptuous gaze.

Deputy Secretary Nan Yuancheng looked at the contemptuous gazes of the crowd and reacted, saying, "Why are you looking at me? I'm telling you the actual situation!"

"Comrade Yuancheng, cadre appointment is not based on seniority. Your thinking is even more straightforward!" Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Xing Pengming ridiculed Deputy Secretary Nan Yuancheng, but his statement was still tactful.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary people. If the provincial party committee's choice is Feng Yuxing, could it be that Xiyun City is still engaged in some unknown conspiracy?"

Municipal Party Secretary Yan Baiyang was thinking secretly, but he didn't say it out loud. However, Mayor Qiu Shangnan pointed it out. Of course, the meaning was a little different from what he thought.

"Comrade Yuancheng, if the Provincial Party Committee's candidate is Comrade Feng Yuxing, then there must be a reason why he's our deputy mayor." Mayor Qiu Shangnan thought for a moment and added, "As far as I know, Comrade Feng Yuxing doesn't have any connections or connections. He's just a former top-class fighter pilot."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the municipal party secretary Yan Baiyang and said, "Comrade Baiyang, am I right?"

Mayor Qiu Shangnan knew that Secretary Yan Baiyang and Feng Yuxing had a high-level relationship in Zhourong City, and he must be clear about Feng Yuxing's origins.

"Comrade Shangnan, you are right. At that time, the people in Zhourong City all regarded him as a troublemaker!" Yan Baiyang said a little embarrassedly.

"He was the director of the Jiaoyou County Culture and Tourism Bureau at the time and wanted to build a road that would facilitate the production and development of Jiaoyou residents and also create a tourist route. However, someone used his planning proposal to hit him in the face.

What do you want him to do? He should directly ask the organization to make him the deputy county chief because he feels that the power of the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau is too limited to fulfill his wish to serve the people wholeheartedly.

The final result was that he was directly promoted to county magistrate. However, he lived up to everyone's expectations and in just one year, he transformed Jiaoyou County, a particularly impoverished county, into a model of a prosperous county.

Why did Yan Baiyang reveal Feng Yuxing's actions? Because at this time, he was basically certain that Feng Yuxing was the candidate for deputy mayor of Xiyun City in the provincial party committee's mind.

What he meant by this was that these secretaries and meeting participants should consciously put forward Feng Yuxing as candidates.
