In the provincial party committee office, Wang Jin sat in the main seat with a serious and solemn expression.
Governor Zhao Yuehui and Deputy Secretary Tu Ming sat on his left and right respectively, and the atmosphere was depressing and dull.
Wang Jin spoke first, with helplessness in his tone, "Yuehui, Lao Tu...it's time to decide on the candidate for the mayor of Pingyang."
His voice echoed in the quiet conference room, like a heavy stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Zhao Yuehui and Tu Ming were not at all surprised by Wang Jin's decision.
If the candidate for Pingyang mayor is not decided, who knows what trouble may happen!
Just think about how Lan Xiaoqin would even do something illegal just to keep her position as mayor...it's really shocking!
None of the three could have imagined that such an unscrupulous cadre was hidden in Han River politics.
Especially Zhao Yuehui, his heart was in turmoil at this moment.
He most supported Lan Xiaoqin to take the position of mayor of Pingyang and had originally placed high hopes on her, believing that she had the ability and skills to be competent for the position.
To this end, he spared no effort to endorse Lan Xiaoqin on various occasions and to gain support and resources for her.
But now, Lan Xiaoqin's downfall has made him lose face, as if he had been slapped hard in the face.
His heart was filled with regret and self-blame, and he hated himself for having made a mistake and mistook a treacherous person for a talented person.
At the same time, he felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. He no longer had the face to nominate anyone else for the decision-making power on this matter.
"Secretary Wang, I don't know much about people. I have been recommending Lan Xiaoqin... as the mayor of Pingyang City. I support any decision you make."
Zhao Yuehui's voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep frustration.
He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look Wang Jin in the eye. His hands were clenched tightly together, and his joints turned white from the force.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must be more careful in the future and not make the same mistake again.
At this moment, he hoped to get rid of this embarrassing situation as soon as possible.
Wang Jin remained calm, nodded slowly, and looked at Tu Ming.
Tu Ming felt mixed emotions at this moment.
Before, he had strongly supported Liu Hao and regarded Liu Hao as his favorite student. He was looking forward to Liu Hao standing out in the competition for the mayor of Pingyang.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hao was brought down by Lan Xiaoqin, and it was because of such a despicable scandal as having sex with three women at night.
When he thought of this, Tu Ming felt his face burning, as if it was being roasted by fire.
He felt extremely ashamed and angry for his negligence and misjudgment.
Tu Ming smiled awkwardly, "Secretary Wang, I am just like Governor Zhao, I will follow all your arrangements!"
His smile seemed very forced, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and loss.
He knew that he had lost his say in this personnel selection, and his previous strong recommendation had now become a joke.
He secretly reflected in his heart whether he was too blind and confident when training and recommending cadres, and failed to truly see the essence of a person.
At this moment, he only hopes to calm down this storm as soon as possible and minimize the negative impact on himself.
Wang Jin folded his hands together, glanced at the two of them calmly, and nodded slowly again.
His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see through everything.
Wang Jin knew in his heart that Zhao Yuehui and Tu Ming had both suffered a considerable blow in this incident. Their mistakes not only brought trouble to themselves, but also damaged the image of the party organization.
But he also knew that no one is perfect and that the important thing is to learn from their mistakes and take them as a warning.
"Well, since neither of you has a new candidate, I suggest that Qian Lingyun, director of the National People's Congress Agricultural Office, be appointed as the mayor of Pingyang."
Wang Jin's voice was steady and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.
When Zhao Yuehui and Tu Ming heard the result, even though they were extremely reluctant, they had to nod and agree.
After all, when the selection process started, Qian Lingyun was ranked after Lan Xiaoqin and Liu Hao. In terms of qualifications and abilities, Qian Lingyun was not completely incompetent.
However, they each have their own calculations and considerations in their minds.
Zhao Yuehui originally hoped to consolidate his power in Pingyang and even Hanjiang by supporting Lan Xiaoqin. Now that his plan has failed, he can't help feeling a little disappointed.
Tu Ming felt frustrated because of Liu Hao's incident. Although he was helpless about Wang Jin's decision, he could not refute it.
Zhao Yuehui quickly calculated in his mind, what impact would Qian Lingyun's taking office have on his layout, and how should he adjust his strategy?
Tu Ming was thinking whether this mistake would affect his position in the party and how to re-establish his authority in the future.
The meeting room fell into a brief silence again. The three people had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was still solemn.
But no matter what, the candidate for Pingyang mayor has finally been decided. Next, it depends on whether Qian Lingyun can take on this important task.
At this time, Peng Yutao had been waiting outside Wang Jin's office for a long time.
When the secretary came into the room and asked Wang Jin if he wanted to let Peng Yutao in, Wang Jin's face darkened, "Don't let him get in the way at the door of my office!"
The secretary came out of the office and saw the dejected Peng Yutao. He said to him helplessly, "Secretary Peng, Secretary Wang asked you to wait for him somewhere else... It's not convenient to wait at his door."
Huh? Peng Yutao looked up suddenly, and when he heard Secretary Wang asking him to stand further away and wait, the expectation in his eyes dimmed instantly.
He sighed helplessly, stood up weakly, and walked slowly to the end of the corridor... According to Secretary Wang's instructions, the farther away from his office the better, so as not to upset Secretary Wang.
