The next morning after breakfast, Peng Yutao took a walk in the small park in the backyard of the Municipal Party Committee as usual. What was different from usual was that his capable secretary Wei Haiyang was not with him.
When he wanted to drink water, he subconsciously wanted to wave and shout "Ocean", but when he raised his hand, he suddenly remembered that Wei Haiyang had already gone in, and now he was alone, so he put his hand down helplessly, smiled bitterly and shook his head, walked to the stone table, picked up the cup of water and took a sip.
At this time, Tang Yiming, the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee Office, walked towards him slowly with his hands behind his back.
He is also at the deputy-department level, responsible for the connecting work of the entire municipal party committee. He manages a group of secretaries of the municipal party committee on a daily basis and teaches them how to serve the municipal leaders well.
When Wei Haiyang was around, if there was any work that needed to be submitted and reported to Peng Yutao, Tang Yiming would usually hand it over to Wei Haiyang and let him report directly to Peng Yutao. If the work was not very important, Tang Yiming would rarely report to Peng Yutao in person.
Peng Yutao saw him coming from afar, put down the teacup in his hand, and took the initiative to greet him.
Tang Yiming smiled and said to Peng Yutao, "After so many years, your habit has not changed. Every time after dinner, you have to walk around in the backyard for half an hour. It's a good habit. I can't do that. There are too many documents to deal with in the morning and evening. I don't have enough energy at noon and need a nap. Walking is a luxury for me."
Peng Yutao said with a smile, "Old Tang, you are still very harsh in your words. It is obvious that I am the busiest person in the top leadership and I can only take time out of my busy schedule to exercise. But in your words, I have become the most idle person in the municipal party committee."
"Hahaha..." Tang Yiming laughed heartily, "You are not the most idle person, are you? We, the municipal party committee, are here to serve you. If we still make you too tired to take care of everything else, then that means we are not serving you thoroughly and are not doing our job wholeheartedly, haha."
The two have been together for many years and know each other well. This is how they talk in private every day, joking with each other and laughing it off.
If Wei Haiyang is the first secretary of the municipal party committee, then Tang Yiming is the chief steward of the municipal party committee. If he and Peng Yutao are not on the same page, then Peng Yutao, the secretary of the municipal party committee, will not be able to do his job smoothly. In the final analysis, the two complement each other. Even if they are not friends, they must be friends.
"Old Tang, are there any new instructions from the province?" Peng Yutao asked, getting back to the point.
Tang Yiming nodded and said, "It's like this. The Provincial Youth League Committee, the Youth Federation, the Provincial Radio and Television Station... jointly issued a document requiring all cities and municipalities to recommend three candidates for the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Provincial and Municipal Organs". Originally, the Municipal Youth League Committee reported this to you, but I happened to see you in the backyard, so I came over to tell you."
Drop by to say hello?
Tang Yiming's casual tone made Peng Yutao feel that this recommendation of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People" was not much different from previous recommendations and was not a very important matter.
However, the reason why Tang Yiming showed an indifferent attitude was actually to make Peng Yutao less sensitive to this matter so that he could successfully take on this job.
If Peng Yutao knew that the provincial party committee attached great importance to the selection of the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People", he would probably take charge of it personally. By then, the possibility of Tang Yiming's secretaries getting this opportunity would be greatly reduced.
Peng Yutao pondered for a moment, and just as Tang Yiming had imagined, he nodded and said, "Well, since you are here, I will leave this matter to you. You must select truly outstanding young people, and you must also think of a way to tell a good story. Outstanding young people must have done some great and practical things to be called outstanding young people. Nominate three people, and at least ensure that one of them is selected. This is also a chance for us in Pingyang to become famous."
Tang Yiming smiled and said, "Of course, everything is done according to the regulations of the superiors, and no one who is not qualified will be promoted. As for the final result, after all, the cities and counties are competing with each other, and there are many uncertainties. We will just do our best to deal with it. If we can't become famous in the province, let our Pingyang TV station also hold an outstanding youth selection. We can always comfort ourselves, hahaha..."
Peng Yutao also laughed when he heard this. In the past few years, they were always runners-up for the top ten outstanding young people in the province, and in the end they had to organize a city-level selection to save face.
This time, the competition was just as fierce, and he knew that his chances were slim...
After returning to the office, Tang Yiming called Zhao Hongjie, secretary of the municipal youth league committee, and said to him, "Regarding the recommendation of outstanding young people, Secretary Peng and I have reached a consensus that we should focus on the young cadres of the municipal party committee. I will write down a few names, and you can investigate them in detail and dig into their contributions to the municipal party committee over the years.
Secretary Peng repeatedly told us that we must tell good stories, and tell ordinary stories well, so as to show the noble side of our young cadres and lay a good foundation for the subsequent selection work of the Provincial Party Committee. "
Zhao Hongjie looked at the names that Tang Yiming handed over, and they were all people from the Municipal Party Committee Office.
He didn't dare to refute, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart, "Fuck, that's wicked! At least give us a quota for the Youth League Municipal Committee! No matter how important your General Office is, you can't take all the good things, right? If this is made public, won't the people in the municipal government curse?
So, the secretary of the municipal youth league committee asked hesitantly, "Secretary-General, should we reserve a spot for the municipal government as well? If Mayor Qian knew about this, he would definitely have an opinion!"
Um?
Tang Yiming did not expect Zhao Hongjie to dare to raise objections. He sneered and said, "Hongjie, how do you know that Mayor Qian will have objections? How do you know that this is not something that Secretary Peng and Mayor Qian have agreed on? As a subordinate, you just need to follow orders. Why are there so many questions?"
Was this something Mayor Qian and Secretary Peng discussed?
Impossible, there are so many young secretaries in the municipal government! Are they not worthy of being elected as the top ten outstanding young people in the government?
Although Zhao Hongjie knew everything, he couldn't directly expose Tang Yiming's intentions, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Well, I will submit this list to the provincial party committee. But Secretary-General, if the provincial party committee thinks that it is unreasonable for all the talents we selected to be concentrated in one unit and asks us to submit it again, what should we do?"
"Impossible." Tang Yiming smiled. He felt that he had some understanding of the working style of the people in the provincial party committee. He said confidently, "The provincial party committee only cares about whether those young cadres in the provincial government can be elected. Who has the time to pick up these details of the local government? To put it bluntly, we are just going to make up the numbers. Just like in previous years, it will be difficult for any of us to be elected. So why are you worrying so much? Why are you fighting so hard?"
Although they know they will not be elected, for these young cadres in the city, being a candidate is a great honor.
Zhao Hongjie shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Okay, Secretary General, I'll do as you wish."
...
When Qian Lingyun learned about the announcement of the recommended candidates for the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Provincial and Municipal Agencies" by the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, he was so angry that he almost broke his desk apart.
He called Peng Yutao directly to ask why the municipal government had not allocated a quota.
However, Peng Yutao's perfunctory answer made Qian Lingyun even more furious!
