Chapter 45 Arrival at Jiaoyou County

The distance from Zhourong City to Jiaoyou County is not as far as the distance from Yinzhou to Zhourong. In addition, we used the special car of Organization Minister Fang Zhuolin, so we arrived in Jiaoyou County in one hour.

When the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister arrives, people from the County Party Committee and County Government must come out to receive him. At least the County Party Secretary, County Mayor, and the County Party Committee Organization Minister must come out to meet him.

Fang Zhuo, Lin Songfeng and Xing came to Jiaoyou County. Although their rank was deputy director, they held a section-level position. There was no need to make such a grand ceremony, unless they were the county party secretary or the county magistrate.

The city's Organization Minister Fang Zhuolin only informed the county party secretary Zhang Qingluo, the county magistrate Ke Qiqiang, and the county party organization minister Yi Zhuangru, and also told these three people not to make a big fuss and not to hold roadside receptions or anything like that, as it would have a bad impact, and to wait and agree downstairs in the county party office building.

As expected, County Party Secretary Zhang Qingluo, County Mayor Ke Qiqiang, and County Party Organization Minister Yi Zhuangru were waiting downstairs of the County Party Committee office building.

Of course, some people were waiting along, probably some of the county party committee’s leadership team and deputy county governors and the like.

As soon as Fang Zhuolin got out of the car, County Party Secretary Zhang Qingluo and County Mayor Ke Qiqiang came up to him and shook hands with him.

County Party Secretary Zhang Qingluo and County Mayor Ke Qiqiang are both over 50 years old, and the Organization Minister is just a little younger, in his 40s.

After everyone shook hands with each other, Zhang Qingluo looked at Feng Yuxing with a smile, "Minister Fang, this must be our new Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, Comrade Feng Yuxing, whom you sent over!"

Zhang Qingluo is a shrewd man with his age, so the driver must have found a place to park. They all knew Fang Zhuolin's secretary Yuan Tonggang, and the young man standing by and watching them must be Feng Yuxing, the new director of the Jiaoyou County Culture and Tourism Bureau.

"That's right, this is the new Director of Culture and Tourism assigned to Jiaoyou County, Comrade Feng Yuxing!" Fang Zhuolin replied to Zhang Qingluo, the County Party Secretary.

After confirming that the young man standing next to him was the new director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, Zhang Qingluo walked up to Feng Yuxing and said, "Feng Zhi, you are young and promising! Welcome to work at Jiaoyou!"

In fact, Feng Yuxing stood aside and did not step forward to greet these county leaders because he saw that the people from Jiaoyou County were all surrounding the city's Organization Minister Fang Zhuolin.

Many county-level leading cadres spoke in a flattering tone when talking to Fang Zhuolin, which made Feng Yuxing feel very uncomfortable and even a little disgusted.

So he chose to stand aside and watch coldly, and did not go up to communicate with the leadership team of Jiaoyou County.

For Feng Yuxing, this scene was truly difficult for him to accept. After all, in the officialdom, it was not uncommon for subordinates to flatter and curry favor with their superiors. However, since he had just entered the officialdom and did not have much experience, it was inevitable that he would feel a little uncomfortable when witnessing this scene for the first time.

Of course, as time goes by and his experience grows, perhaps he will gradually get used to this phenomenon. However, it is normal for him to feel uncomfortable with the local customs as he just came out of the army.

"Hello, Secretary!" Feng Yuxing shook hands with Zhang Qingluo and said hello. No matter what he thought of the situation, Feng Yuxing didn't mind shaking hands with his comrades.

After all, starting tomorrow, these people will basically be his superiors. Even though the county party secretary and the county governor are of higher rank than him, the ranks of others are the same as his, but they are in different positions, and their power is still not as great as those in front of him.

The rest of the attention was focused on Fang Zhuolin, the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and not too much attention was paid to Feng Yuxing, a small director.

The official style and behavior just now were not quite appropriate. I felt particularly uncomfortable with the flattery of people of higher rank.

Feng Yuxing currently holds a section-level cadre position, so there is no need to announce his appointment to the county party committee and county government.

After a brief exchange with Fang Zhuolin, the head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the people from the Jiaoyou County Party Committee and County Government went directly to the Jiaoyou County Culture and Tourism Bureau.

The people who went were Fang Zhuocong, the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, Zhang Qingluo, the county party committee secretary, and Ke Qiqiang, the county magistrate. The appointment of a section-level cadre did not require any fanfare.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau is not very important among all departments and units, but it is not small either. It has four deputy directors, seven or eight departments, and more than sixty staff members.

The appointment was announced by Fang Zhuolin, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister.

After the appointment was announced, the people in the Jiaoyou County Culture and Tourism Bureau were stunned. Everyone had only one thought in their mind: "Where did this person come from? He became the director at such a young age!"

Because the two youngest of the four deputy directors are already forty years old, and the other two are fifty years old, which is considered retirement. Because they are still at the deputy section level, if they work harder, they can at most reach the section level.

In terms of the age structure of the staff, young people are not the majority. The staff of the stock department are basically young people, and most of them have a college degree.

The position of a director is something that everyone is vying for.

The position of director has been vacant for more than three months. In addition to these four deputy directors, people from other units were also eyeing it. Many people were vying for the position at the time, but unexpectedly, a young man was suddenly parachuted in to serve as director, which was beyond the expectations of the staff of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau.

There was a strange smell before and after taking office.

Are they saying that the new director is not being reused? Yet, it was Fang Zhuolin, the head of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, who personally announced the appointment.

However, the county party secretary Zhang Qingluo and the county magistrate Ke Qiqiang did not make any encouraging speeches. Everyone also realized that, except for the county party committee organization minister Yi Zhuangru, the county party secretary and the county magistrate came with the organization minister Fang Zhuolin.

No one understood, but Feng Yuxing knew it. He guessed that since he was not welcomed as soon as he arrived, some news must have been passed from Yinzhou to the people in Zhourong Municipal Party Committee and Government. They might not target Feng Yuxing, but they would still be cautious.

This is also a common situation in officialdom, because it is not easy for anyone to get a position in the leadership team.
