"Zhitao, sit down and tell me about the situation in Central Town."
Xiuyuan reached out and poured a glass of water for Wang Zhitao, then looked at Wang Zhitao and asked.
"In the central town, it's like this..." Wang Zhitao first started with the members of the town party committee, which is the power structure of the central town.
The central town has 17 town party committee members, which is not a lot considering the size of the central town. The first is Zhang Xingguo, the secretary who also serves as the chairman of the People's Congress, and the second is Hou Peng, the deputy secretary and town mayor.
These are two section-level cadres in the central town.
Ranked third is Lu Zhenhai, the full-time deputy secretary of the town party committee, fourth is Ma Tao, the discipline committee member, fifth is Kang Yong, the organization committee member, and the other is Qi Weihua, the head of the armed forces department, who is also responsible for united front and law enforcement work.
Including Xiuyuan now, there are exactly seven people.
"Mr. Zhen, when I came here, Tian Zhijun was ranked fourth in the town party committee, after Secretary Lu. Now that you are here, are you going to fill this position?" Wang Zhitao asked Mr. Xiuyuan while drinking tea.
Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at Wang Zhitao and said, "What are you thinking? You're not even the secretary or mayor, so why are you filling in the pecking order? I'm seventh in line."
The ranking order of the Party Committee team is actually fixed except for the top three, namely the secretary, the mayor, and the full-time deputy secretary. The ranking is also the same in the county. The ranking of other members is not so strict. Basically, they are ranked according to their membership in the Party Committee team. If they become members of the town Party Committee together, it depends on the qualifications of both parties.
"Are you familiar with these leaders?" Xiuyuan asked.
Wang Zhitao knew what Xiuyuan wanted to ask, about their relationships and backgrounds, their personalities and hobbies, and who was close to whom.
But Wang Zhitao opened his mouth and said, "In the town of Qie, there are many rumors about Secretary Zhang. Everyone says he is very superstitious."
"What are you superstitious about?" Xiuyuan asked curiously.
"You believe in feng shui. Isn't today's meeting held on the fourth floor? I wonder if you've noticed? There's basically nothing going on on the fourth floor. It's all conference rooms, archives, and the like." Wang Zhitao said.
Xiu Yuan thought about it and it seemed to be true.
"That's why the number four is unlucky. Secretary Zhang doesn't allow us to do business on the fourth floor, fearing something might happen. Also, Secretary Zhang's office is on the fifth floor, and the house number is 509, which means the highest authority in the world."
Wang Zhitao said this, and Xiuyuan laughed: "Zhitao, you are not kidding, are you?"
"In this town, Secretary Zhang has a very good relationship with a local Feng Shui master. Before the Chinese New Year at the end of the year, I saw this Feng Shui master come to Secretary Zhang's office. Secretary Zhang personally came to greet him. Two days later, Secretary Zhang's office changed. A bookcase was moved in, and the layout of the office also changed. Originally, he worked facing the door, but now he works to the side..."
"Later, I heard someone say that a Feng Shui master said that you can't do things facing the front door because it will bring bad luck. The reason why Tian Zhijun got into trouble this year was also because of this..."
"And the layout of our town's staff dormitories and cafeteria—I heard they were also designed by a feng shui master..."
