247: Undercurrents are surging in the municipal party committee compound.

Seeing the anonymous report letter and photos, the first reaction of Cao Mingxiu, Jiang Shiyu, and Wan Guoliang was to conclude that the content of the letter was completely groundless.

Because they all knew about the relationship between Lin Zifeng and the Chen family; having an Older Sister-in-law with a net worth of nearly one billion, wasn't it perfectly normal for him to have a house and a car?

Especially Wan Guoliang, who had worked with Lin Zifeng, knew the details even better, because when he worked in Yushu County, Lin Zifeng had reported it to him in advance.

That new Audi car was bought by Chen Yuqing for her younger sister two years ago, and the new house where Lin Zifeng lived was also bought by Chen Yuxi as a wedding gift for the two of them.

Even the name on the property deed was Chen Yuxi's. Strictly speaking, this house had nothing to do with Lin Zifeng; he was just living in it.

Cao Mingxiu and Jiang Shiyu were secretly angry, and both couldn't help but think that it seemed some people had started to use every possible means to suppress and stop Lin Zifeng's advancement.

This approach was no different from flipping the table and had already broken the rules of officialdom.

There could be open strife and veiled struggles; everyone wanted to advance, right? That was understandable, after all, there were only so many positions, and no one wanted to lose the opportunity to advance.

But competition must have a bottom line! If everyone did this, wouldn't it be chaos later?

Both of them knew clearly that Zhao Liqiang, who was added as a candidate later, was just a pawn. Some people in the City Level were pushing this behind the scenes, and there were also people at the Provincial Level working in the shadows.

Otherwise, Zhao Liqiang would not have been listed as a candidate. Both of them were not very satisfied with Zhao Liqiang's work in Yushu County, but due to certain factors, they had to turn a blind eye and let Zhao Liqiang become one of the candidates.

However, their thoughts were very consistent: the thriving Yushu County absolutely could not be handed over to Zhao Liqiang.

On this idea, the two had a high degree of consensus.

The Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting was to be held at nine o'clock, and it was obviously too late to meet and communicate now, so Cao Mingxiu took the initiative to call Jiang Shiyu.

The call was connected immediately. Jiang Shiyu called out "Secretary," and Cao Mingxiu grunted before saying: "Mayor, some people are trying to challenge the bottom line!"

"Secretary, at this time, some people have launched a surprise attack on us, which itself is malicious.

You and I know very well what kind of scheme these people are playing by acting this way.

They are counting on us needing time to investigate, and today we must report the recommended candidates to the Provincial Party Committee. This is them putting us in a checkmate!

If we follow the path they have set, not only will Lin Zifeng be schemed against, but even we will fall into the trap they have designed in advance."

Jiang Shiyu's voice carried a hint of anger.

"It is indeed despicable. We absolutely cannot let them lead us by the nose. Mayor, what are your thoughts?"

Cao Mingxiu's tone showed no fluctuation.

"I believe that Comrade Lin Zifeng can withstand the test."

Jiang Shiyu's short sentence indicated his attitude of protecting Lin Zifeng at all costs.

"Wait until the Standing Committee meeting starts, and choose the most appropriate time to act according to how the situation develops!"

Cao Mingxiu also directly stated his attitude, and then hung up the phone.

Wan Guoliang saw the contents of the envelope, snorted coldly in anger, and muttered to himself: "Some people really have no bottom line! To achieve their goals, they have resorted to such despicable means; it is truly contemptible."

An angry Wan Guoliang took a while to calm down. He pondered for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but think to himself, that kid Zifeng is indeed cautious!

After returning to Yushu County after getting married, he reported the situation regarding the car and house to him at the first opportunity.

It was a lucky hit, and now it had come in handy.

With this trump card, he could not only help him at the Standing Committee meeting, but also take the opportunity to make his own voice heard.

This was his first time officially attending the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting. Since someone wanted to make trouble and frame Lin Zifeng, he was holding a blade in his hand, which was just right for increasing the prestige of his new position as Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

This was killing two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, Wan Guoliang began to calculate in his heart.

At this time, Executive Vice Mayor Qian Yushu and Standing Committee Member and Vice Mayor Yang Dongming, after seeing the report letter and photos, had basically the same thoughts.

That was that the influence of their Old Leader was everywhere. They had hinted to them to block Lin Zifeng in advance, and they were willing to cooperate, but felt powerless.

Because they knew that the Secretary and Mayor were strongly supporting Lin Zifeng, and with their influence, without a reasonable excuse, they could not shake this matter at all.

Now that a knife had been handed to them, they had too much room to maneuver.

So they also began to plan in their hearts.

The two of them had been working in Chunhua City for less than two years, and both had been transferred to Chunhua City from the Provincial Level one after another, both wearing someone's label.

Supporting Zhao Liqiang to become a candidate was something they had worked together on, so it was no surprise that they had such actions.

As for the other Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, most still believed in Lin Zifeng, and they all wanted to wait and see before making their own choices.

The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government compound looked as calm as usual, but before the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting began, undercurrents were already surging.

Starting from eight-fifty, the Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee walked into the Small Meeting Room one after another. After greeting each other, they sat in their seats according to their ranking.

Everyone barely communicated, and it seemed much more dull compared to previous Standing Committee meetings.

At nine-fifty-eight, Jiang Shiyu walked in holding a teacup, smiled and nodded to everyone who greeted him, and sat in the first seat on the left.

Cao Mingxiu walked into the meeting room right on time. He sat in the main seat, looked around, and then said concisely: "The meeting starts now. The topics of the meeting are already known to you in advance, so I will not repeat them."

After saying this, he looked at Organization Minister Zhu Jiahua.

Zhu Jiahua understood, and quickly said: "Secretary, Mayor, Comrades, the candidate for County Party Secretary of Yushu County has been undecided for two months. There are also other personnel appointments in Yushu County that need to be discussed and decided at the meeting today. There are two Comrades who are qualified to be candidates for the County Party Secretary of Yushu County: Comrade Lin Zifeng, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate of Yushu County, and Comrade Zhao Liqiang, the deputy secretary of the county party committee of Yushu County. As for which of the two Comrades is more suitable to serve as the County Party Secretary of Yushu County, please discuss and study."

Cao Mingxiu nodded slightly at Zhu Jiahua, and then said: "This work brooks no delay. The results must be discussed and studied at today's meeting to be reported to the Provincial Party Committee. Please share your views!"
