“Alright, since Secretary Zhang asked me to speak, then I will.” Li Xiuyuan sat up straight and looked at everyone, saying, “I have been to Meilin Village quite a few times, and I have some understanding of the village cadres there.”
This statement is meant to show that he is not speaking carelessly. Although all the votes at this town party committee meeting were decided before the meeting even started, no matter how eloquent you are, it won't work, and you shouldn't expect to persuade others to change their stance.
But you have to follow the proper procedures. That's politically correct. Just like when Kang Yong recommended Tian Hong, you can't just come up and say, "I support so-and-so, that's all I have to say. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
After all, this is a meeting of the town's Party committee leadership, not a meeting of a community organization.
"I have a general understanding of the current village committee members in Meilin Village. The main people are Zhou Jianzhong, the deputy director, and Shi Yufei, the deputy director who is also the village clerk. These two people are the ones who have the most contact with village affairs."
Secondly, there's Deputy Party Secretary Tian Hong, who also comes from the largest surname in Meilin Village, Tian. The original village head and accountant were both surnamed Tian, and they were both arrested. However, Tian Hong, who also has the surname Tian, got away with it. Of course, I'm not saying that Tian Hong escaped the net; I believe the results of the county discipline inspection commission's investigation.
Does this mean that Tian Hong, the deputy secretary of the village, had no access to the village's specific affairs?
As Li Xiuyuan spoke, some people nodded in agreement. Li Xiuyuan had chosen a very good angle: the village head surnamed Tian went to jail, the accountant surnamed Tian went to jail, but you, Tian Hong, got away with it.
That means you've never been involved in core matters.
Of course, from another perspective, one could say that Tian Hong is incorruptible and of noble character, but does such a person really exist? Even if he does, is Tian Hong one of them? Everyone should have their own doubts.
"In addition, there are Shi Yufei and Zhou Jianzhong. The Shi surname is a minor surname in the village. If we let him take over rashly, it may cause some people in the village to be dissatisfied. Moreover, Shi Yufei does not have many supporters, so he may become unpopular."
"In the end, only Zhou Jianzhong was left. Zhou Jianzhong was the deputy director, experienced, and the Zhou surname was the second largest in the village after the Tian surname. He had many supporters. When the original village chief and accountant were taken away, Zhou Jianzhong was actually playing the role of acting village chief..."
Li Xiuyuan spoke without any other reaction, but Lu Zhenhai's pupils constricted slightly. Zhou Jianzhong? If he hadn't misheard at noon, Zhou Jianzhong didn't want the job himself and wanted to recommend Zhou Junliang, a younger member of the Zhou family in the village.
Why did Li Xiuyuan recommend Zhou Jianzhong? Is it a strategy or something else?
Just then, Kang Yong spoke up: "Deputy Mayor Li, we have indeed considered Zhou Jianzhong. He is quite qualified in many ways, but there is one problem: Zhou Jianzhong is getting old and his energy is waning. He can't work for many more years..."
Li Xiuyuan smiled upon hearing this: "Committee Member Kang, what position are we recommending today?"
"Acting village head".
"That's right. An acting village head is just an acting position. There will be a formal election when the term ends. So what if he can't serve for many years? If he can serve for two or three years, he can use his rich work experience and ability to finish those two years. It's not like he's a formal village head who serves for three to five years in a term."
