Chen Tao's words finally caught Liu Zhengxiang's attention.
This immediately put him on alert.
That's right. Zhang Zhiyuan has always listened to me, so why is he suddenly going against me?
This is clearly an attempt to climb over oneself to the top, and even has a hint of currying favor with superiors.
Their intentions are absolutely despicable!
"Hmph! I always thought Zhang Zhiyuan was a good person and entrusted him with important tasks, but I never expected him to be such an ungrateful wretch!"
"It seems our city government's work needs some adjustments!"
Liu Zhengxiang snorted and immediately made a phone call.
"Issuing a notice in my name: A meeting of the Mayor will be held at 2 PM today!"
Upon receiving this message, Chen Tao couldn't help but sneer.
Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Zhiyuan, a bright future awaited you, but you insisted on courting death! Don't blame me for this!
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The city council meeting was held.
Those present were all department heads and city-level leaders.
Liu Zhengxiang sat in the main seat with a very serious expression.
"Recently, I've noticed that some comrades in our team have problematic work attitudes and some erroneous ideas that are detrimental to the development of our municipal government. The reason I've called everyone here today is to make some adjustments for the next phase of our work!"
After Liu Zhengxiang finished speaking, he turned to a fat man with a leather jacket standing to the side and said, "Comrade Wang Xi, you have been in charge of education and urban construction, and you have done a great job. Last year, Xidu was even named a civilized city, which is excellent! As the saying goes, the capable should do more, and I hope you can take on more responsibilities!"
The obese man was Wang Xi, the vice mayor in charge of education and urban construction. Among the several vice mayors in Xidu, he was considered quite outstanding, but compared to Zhang Zhiyuan, he was somewhat inferior.
Upon hearing this, he was first taken aback, and then immediately became somewhat excited.
What does this mean?
Does the top leader intend to promote him?
That's very possible!
Although he wasn't promoted by Liu Zhengxiang, he always treated Liu Zhengxiang with utmost respect and often visited him during holidays.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Mayor, I still have some shortcomings in my work, but as long as you give me instructions, even if you add more burdens or even a mountain for me, I will do my best to live up to your expectations and contribute to the development and construction of our Xidu! I believe that under your leadership, I will definitely complete my work tasks perfectly!"
After all these years, doesn't he know what the boss likes to hear?
Whatever your boss asks you to do, don't worry about whether you can do it or not; you must say yes, no problem!
In any case, this attitude must be shown.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Liu Zhengxiang nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, starting next week, you will be temporarily in charge of the work related to sanitation and industry and commerce!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Everyone looked toward Zhang Zhiyuan, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Health and commerce are important tasks for the city government, and they wield significant power.
What does Liu Shi mean by this?
This is clearly aimed at Deputy Mayor Zhang!
Zhang Zhiyuan's face immediately turned ugly. "Mayor, if there's anything wrong with my work, you can point it out. But I've always been in charge of these two businesses. I've been conscientious and meticulous since becoming the deputy mayor, and I've never made a mistake! I don't quite understand your decision!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, they all knew that Deputy Mayor Zhang was a man of action.
In the past two years, Vice Mayor Zhang's contributions to the development of Xidu have even surpassed those of Mayor Liu Zhengxiang. People often see Vice Mayor Zhang working in his office until midnight.
The hardships he endured during this period are unimaginable to others. Isn't Liu Zhengxiang's current behavior a classic case of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose?
That's so unfair!
Liu Zhengxiang smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, don't overthink it. This is just a normal work adjustment. Besides, I heard recently that your child is sick. I know you're under a lot of pressure, and I just wanted to lighten your burden a bit!"
"But Mayor, I..."
Before Zhang Zhiyuan could say anything, Liu Zhengxiang waved his hand again, "Comrade Zhiyuan, today is the Municipal People's Congress meeting, and I have my reasons for arranging it this way! The problem of the old city renovation is progressing slowly and has not been resolved. I know you are capable, so I want to entrust this matter to you. From now on, you will focus on the old city. If you encounter any difficulties, you can talk to me or the other comrades. We are all your strongest support!"
Old city renovation?
Zhang Zhiyuan's face was extremely ugly.
This isn't a difficult problem at all; it's an unsolvable problem.
The housing market is about to collapse. Since the "three red lines" policy was introduced, almost all the developers have fled. The problem of unfinished projects hasn't been solved yet, so what's the point of any renovations?
This is clearly an attempt to dump this mess on me!
Wang Xi, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh.
He almost burst out laughing. This was originally his responsibility, and he was worried sick about it every day. Now, he could just dump the whole mess on Zhang Zhiyuan. It couldn't be more satisfying.
At this moment, he finally understood that Zhang Zhiyuan had most likely offended the mayor, and Liu Zhengxiang was clearly trying to promote him and suppress Zhang Zhiyuan.
Although the specific reason is unclear, it is a great thing for him.
It's highly likely that the position of acting mayor is secure!
The others shook their heads.
Everyone felt sorry for Zhang Zhiyuan.
But there's no way around it; that's officialdom. It's all about seniority, with superiors being more respected than inferiors, and the top leader having absolute power.
If you don't have a strong background, you have to follow this rule completely.
