117: Personnel appointments in Peace Town

After nearly a day of deliberation by the five Secretaries, a result was finally reached, waiting only for tomorrow's Standing Committee meeting.

Results determined by the Secretary's Office Meeting would not change unless there were extremely special circumstances.

After all, five of the eleven Standing Committee Members were present here, and all of them were heavyweights.

As expected, the next day's Standing Committee meeting proceeded without incident, fully realizing the will of the Secretary's Office Meeting.

The result surprised some Standing Committee Members. Wu Dexing, who had been running around trying to influence things, not only failed to achieve his goal but also lost his position as Deputy County Mayor.

He didn't even make it into the County CPPCC; he was kicked directly to the County Disabled Persons' Federation, laterally transferred to become the Deputy Chairman of the County Disabled Persons' Federation, and was completely relegated to a dead-end position.

Wu Dexing's fate served as a wake-up call for the Cadres of Yushu County: whether in life or as an official, one must be upright and honest.

Always trying to scheme and fish for benefits often leads to the opposite of what one desires.

Lin Zifeng continued to remain in Heping Town, but he was recommended to be a County Party Standing Committee Member and was reported to the Municipal Party Committee.

To make the number of County Party Standing Committee Members an odd number, increasing from the original eleven to thirteen, the Head of the United Front Work Department, Li Yulin, was also recommended to be a Standing Committee Member.

In addition, Wei Ting was recommended as a candidate for Deputy County Mayor, and the Secretary of Miaoshan Town was recommended as a candidate for Vice Chairman of the County CPPCC, both reported to the Chunhua Municipal Party Committee.

Personnel transfers for Cadres below deputy section-level were under the jurisdiction of the county, so there was no need to report to the Municipal Party Committee.

The personnel changes in Heping Town were quite significant. Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Zhang Zhenhua was transferred to Yushu Town to serve as Secretary.

Deputy Secretary Qin Xiao was transferred to Miaoshan Town to serve as Secretary, and Cao Shuang succeeded Wei Ting as Town Chief.

Jiang Yufei succeeded Qin Xiao as Deputy Secretary, and Organization Committee Member Chen Shuangjie succeeded to the position of Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Office Director Hu Yulin was promoted to Deputy Town Mayor, and Organization Officer Li Hua was promoted to Propaganda Committee Member.

Finance Office Director Li Weixin was promoted to Organization Committee Member.

The personnel transfers in Heping Town fully respected Lin Zifeng's opinions.

Minister Zou, Head of the Organization Department, knew that Lin Zifeng was about to join the Standing Committee and would soon be on the same level as him.

Plus, with the instruction of Wan Guoliang, he had communicated with Lin Zifeng several times in private before submitting the list of candidates for Cadre adjustment.

One week after the County Standing Committee meeting, the approval from the Municipal Party Committee was issued, and the Organization Department began to get busy.

March 1st was a Monday. After starting work, Minister Zou, Head of the Organization Department, accompanied by several staff members, drove toward Heping Town.

Heping Town had also received notice in advance. At nine o'clock in the morning, all Cadres gathered in the large conference room, waiting for the start of the town-wide Cadre meeting.

Lin Zifeng, along with the team members, waited at the main entrance of the Town Government, awaiting the arrival of Minister Zou and his party.

Everyone gathered together, chatting happily and in a relaxed manner.

"Town Chief, this is the last day I will call you Town Chief. Next time I see you, I will have to call you Deputy County Mayor Wei. From now on, you will be a County Leader."

Lin Zifeng joked with Wei Ting.

"Secretary, please don't tease me. My position as a County Leader doesn't carry as much weight as yours! Besides, won't I still be working under your leadership?"

Wei Ting said happily.

"Two County Leaders, today will be the last day our team members are all together. Not only is the Town Chief leaving, but Secretary Qin and Secretary Zhang are also leaving. I really hate to see everyone go! This leadership team of ours is the most united and cohesive, and our personal relationships are the best. I propose that after we finish the meeting at the county today, we have a good gathering in the county tonight. I will pay out of my own pocket, even if it costs me a month's salary."

Cao Shuang suggested, somewhat excitedly and happily.

"Town Chief Cao, this is a great proposal. I fully agree, but if you don't bring this month's salary home, won't your wife make you kneel on a washboard?"

Lin Zifeng said jokingly.

"Even if it means kneeling on a washboard, it's worth it, so this meal is on me."

Cao Shuang said without hesitation.

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone burst into laughter.

After the laughter died down, Zhang Zhenhua said, "To be honest, although our Secretary is young, I have learned a lot from him. When the Secretary first arrived in Heping Town, due to my own selfishness, I looked down on him, thinking he was young and somewhat slighting him. But as we continued to interact, I became more and more impressed by him. The Secretary is broad-minded and didn't hold it against me, which is why I am where I am today. I want to sincerely say thank you to the Secretary!"

Zhang Zhenhua said sincerely.

"Secretary Zhang, there is no need for that. Who doesn't have a little selfishness? Including myself, no one is exempt from human nature."

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

"Speaking of thanks, we all should thank our Secretary. If it weren't for the Secretary leading us and developing Heping Town to what it is now, we wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly. Let's keep our gratitude in our hearts! In the future, whenever the Secretary needs us, we will repay him with action!"

Qin Xiao said resolutely.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then, two sedans approached from a distance, driving toward them.

Knowing that Minister Zou had arrived, everyone stopped chatting and quickly stood in a row.

After getting out of the car, Minister Zou shook Lin Zifeng's hand with a smile and said happily, "Secretary Zifeng, when you first came to Heping Town to take office, I couldn't see you off because I had to attend a meeting in the City Level, which has always been a great regret for me. Being able to come to Heping Town to announce the appointments this time makes up for that regret."

"Welcome back to Heping Town, Minister Zou. The Comrades have been looking forward to your arrival. I want to sincerely thank you on behalf of my partners! You have made up for your regret, and I have fulfilled my promise to my partners. This is a win-win situation!"

Lin Zifeng said happily.

Minister Zou knew clearly that the reason Lin Zifeng thanked him was because of the list of personnel transfers and promotions.

So he laughed and said, "The work in Heping Town is obvious to all; this is what Secretary Zifeng and the Comrades deserve. This personnel adjustment in the county will motivate all Cadres in the county to work hard, be serious, and be responsible in the future."

The two chatted for a few minutes. Minister Zou shook hands and exchanged greetings with everyone one by one. The group then escorted Minister Zou and Lin Zifeng toward the large conference room.

Amidst warm applause, the group walked onto the Rostrum one after another.

Cao Shuang presided over the meeting, and Minister Zou announced a series of appointments.
