So Lu Zhenhai also raised his hand.
Zhang Xingguo was stunned. He withdrew his gaze from Hou Peng and looked at Lu Zhenhai. He felt a little flustered. Hou Peng's support for Li Xiuyuan meant that they had probably reached some kind of cooperation, which was normal.
However, Lu Zhenhai has been detached from the organization ever since he came to the central town. In many meetings, he would raise his hand to agree on things that everyone else agreed on, but he would always abstain when there were disagreements.
Surprisingly, they supported Li Xiuyuan today.
They've actually gotten involved in the town's competition; it's out of control, completely out of control.
Even Hou Peng was surprised at this moment, but he didn't look at Lu Zhenhai, but at Li Xiuyuan. He was too shrewd, and even Lu Zhenhai was brought over.
With four votes already cast, unless Zhang Xingguo dares to insist on his own way and forcibly veto it, Zhou Jianzhong will become the Party Branch Secretary, Deputy Director, and Acting Director of Meilin Village.
But would Zhang Xingguo dare to do that?
Democratic centralism is correct. After the democratic process, the top leader can still centralize power. However, this centralization comes with responsibility. If problems arise as a result of the democratic process, the responsibility lies with the leadership team, not with any individual.
But if you forcefully veto it, and it's all in your hands, then you have the final say, and you'll have to take responsibility if something goes wrong.
Moreover, this isn't about taking responsibility. Li Xiuyuan is the person in charge of the Meilin Village project. He recommended the person and had the support of everyone, or rather, the majority of people. If you, Zhang Xingguo, reject it, Li Xiuyuan will go to the county and complain about you. You, Zhang Xingguo, will be in deep trouble.
After a long pause, Zhang Xingguo finally reacted, gave Li Xiuyuan a deep look, and slowly said, "Deputy Mayor Li is in charge of the Meilin Village project, so there shouldn't be any problem with the person he recommended. Since everyone is optimistic about it, I also support Deputy Mayor Li."
Zhang Xingguo raised his hand. He was already incredibly frustrated, but as the Party Secretary, he couldn't lose his composure. Although he might have already lost his composure, he still had to continue presiding over the meeting.
When Ma Tao saw Zhang Xingguo raise his hand, he decided not to be Li Xiuyuan's thorn in his side anymore, since Li Xiuyuan had really scared him just now.
Ma Tao's gesture only made Zhang Xingguo feel more disappointed. "I'm the Party Secretary, I have to do the work on the surface. You're just a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission. They just slapped you in the face, and you insist on opposing them. What good will that do?"
Do you have to take any responsibility? What are you afraid of? What's so scary about you?
As expected, Kang Yong reluctantly raised his hand as well. Everyone else had raised their hands, and if he didn't, he would be an oddball. The organizing committee member's thoughts were not aligned with everyone else's. If this was recorded and spread, how could he continue to be the organizing committee member?
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Secretary, it seems that my proposed candidate has received unanimous approval and has been passed unanimously."
Looking at Li Xiuyuan's smiling face, Zhang Xingguo recalled the last meeting at the county government where the guidance group office was established. Li Xiuyuan had also been smiling at him like that. Going back a little further, to the first time he met Li Xiuyuan...
Zhang Xingguo was suddenly startled, realizing that he had never won against Li Xiuyuan and always ended up losing.
"Yes, unanimously approved." Zhang Xingguo smiled, but the smile on his face was more like a grimace.
