"Come on! Stop sighing and go!" Yan Baiyang picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Feng and Xingyi.
"You're right! However, starting tomorrow, these big families in the provincial capital should start plotting against me!" Feng Yuxing downed another drink and said proudly, "Let them come. If one comes, I'll take one. If two come, I'll take a pair!"
"By the way! Comrade Yuxing, you're also serving as the Changming County Party Committee Secretary. This should be a transitional role. Have you decided who would be the most suitable person to succeed you?" Yan Baiyang said, trying to get down to business. "If it's Comrade Xin Chunguang, would he be able to take over?"
"County Magistrate Xin Chunguang is a good person in every way. He is a steady cadre, after all, he is old. Apart from being a little obsessed with power, he is okay in other aspects!
Chang Ming is currently prioritizing stability, which is essential for steadily advancing economic development; letting him take over can be considered a reward for his efforts over the years!"
Feng Yuxing is an objective evaluation of the current county magistrate Xin Chunguang.
"Yeah! That's true!" Yan Baiyang thought for a moment, "If the county magistrate is also promoted from within, which comrade can take over?"
“During this period, the person who has performed outstandingly should be Comrade Nong Jingwen from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. I think he is suitable.
After all, Changming County has experienced so many violations of laws and disciplines, it is necessary to let a person with a discipline inspection background serve as the county magistrate to enhance the legal awareness of cadres and prevent the recurrence of previous situations.
Or perhaps it's a warning bell! With Comrade Chunguang helping us with economic matters, there shouldn't be any problems! "Feng Yuxing also spoke according to his inner thoughts.
"What you said makes sense..." Under the influence of alcohol, Yan Baiyang spoke very cheerfully.
. . . . . .
The next morning, Feng Yuxing felt a heavy head when he got up, probably because he and Yan Baiyang drank too much last night.
He picked up the tea that his secretary Pei Qingyuan had made for him. After a few sips of hot tea, he gradually felt his body warming up and his mind becoming clearer.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Feng Yuxing felt that he had regained a lot of energy and could concentrate on his work.
He took a deep breath and began to check his emails, schedule meetings, and think about future work arrangements to avoid any mistakes in the county party committee's work when he went to work in the city.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to look at the official documents, but unexpectedly, County Magistrate Xin Chunguang came running over.
Feng Yuxing saw Xin Chunguang and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew why Xin Chunguang came.
"Comrade Chunguang, sit down! Qingyuan, make a cup of tea for the county magistrate!" Feng Yuxing said, standing up from his office chair and sitting on the sofa.
County Mayor Xin Chunguang had a huge smile on his face. This was the first time Feng Yuxing had seen such an expression since he took office as the secretary of the Changming County Party Committee.
"Comrade Yuxing, you should remember what we talked about yesterday!" Xin Chunguang said while blowing the hot air out of the teacup.
"Remember this! Last night, at Xiyunyan, Secretary invited me for a drink. He also asked me who could take over my job. I've already recommended you, but I can't guarantee whether you'll be able to do it!"
Feng Yuxing was a little amused and helpless when he spoke. It was the first time he saw someone of such age, who was also the head of a county, running over like a child and asking about this matter impatiently.
"We are such good friends! I didn't expect you, Comrade Yixing, to be so trustworthy! Thank you!" Xin Chunguang just took advantage of the situation.
"Don't thank me yet. He just asked for my opinion. It's not me who can make the decision. The Municipal Party Committee has the final say!"
Feng Yuxing would never guarantee anything to Xin Chunguang, otherwise, if the Municipal Party Committee made a change of heart, he would be in a difficult position.
"I believe you. Since you've already spoken, it's definitely going to happen!" Xin Chunguang was very excited. "You have such a good relationship with Secretary Yan of the Municipal Party Committee. Plus, you're now a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and hold a vote in the Standing Committee. It's definitely going to happen!"
When Xin Chunguang spoke, his eyes flashed with expectation for the position of county party secretary.
"I believe you. Since you've already spoken, it's definitely going to happen!" Xin Chunguang was very excited. "You have such a good relationship with Secretary Yan of the Municipal Party Committee. Plus, you're now a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and hold a vote in the Standing Committee. It's definitely going to happen!"
Seeing Xin Chunguang's excitement, he was speechless, but he didn't want to discourage him, so he said, "I have recommended you to Secretary Yan. The rest depends on your own efforts. When you have time, go and make a work report to Secretary Yan!"
"Yes! Thank you for reminding me!" Now whatever Feng Yuxing says is effective for Xin Chunguang.
After chatting for a while, Xin Chunguang left his colleague's office, but his steps were floating when he left.
Feng Yuxing looked at Xin Chunguang's back and could only shake his head and smile bitterly. When he turned around and prepared to return to his office chair, the phone rang.
Not many people know his cell phone number.
He looked and saw that the caller ID was Yang Mingyang. "Why did this guy call me suddenly?"
Ever since they met once in Changxiang Yele City and fought a fight for Yang Mingyang, Feng and Xing have been busy with work, especially after arriving in Changming. Things have been happening one after another and the two have not been in contact.
"Cute little fat boy, why did you call me suddenly!" Feng Yuxing said jokingly.
"Brother Feng, now you should call me 'The Fatty from the Matrix', okay?" Yang Mingyang said with a huff.
"What? Computer technology has reached such a powerful level that it is known as the Matrix?" Feng Yuxing said jokingly.
"I have amazing network skills. We'll talk about it when you return to the provincial capital and meet! Now let me tell you about your amazing deeds!" Yang Mingyang said pretentiously.
"What do I have that makes you call me so specially?" Feng Yuxing asked curiously.
"Didn't you check it out online? Brother Feng, you're amazing! You actually became the youngest deputy mayor of Yinhai City. This is big news!
There's news about you all over the internet right now, but unfortunately, most of it is negative. I think someone is deliberately targeting you and trying to discredit you.
Online, almost all the comments and posts are smearing you, saying you're unworthy of being deputy mayor and that you got the position through connections. "Oh, it's really despicable!"
Yang Mingyang said angrily. Feng Yuxing had always protected him, and now someone was slandering Feng Yuxing online. He was furious at those who maliciously slandered his brother Feng.
"Online? I rarely go online. I've been very busy lately, especially yesterday!" Feng Yuxing said in confusion, "Why are you slandering me?"
"Take a look yourself! If you need me to delete the post for him, just let me know!" Yang Mingyang said seriously, "I checked and found out that the post was only posted online last night!"
"Okay! Let me take a look!" After Feng Yuxing hung up the phone with Yang Mingyang, he quickly turned on his computer and muttered, "Blackmail me? What can I blackmail?"
