250: Two appointments approved unanimously

Seeing Qian Yushu and Yang Dongming's expressions, Wan Guoliang didn't press the issue. These people were smart, and some things needed to be handled with moderation.

So he picked up a few more photos and said with a smile, "These photos are even easier to explain.

When I was still working in Yushu County, a famous director took a liking to the scenery of Yingjianzui Scenic Area, so he brought his cast and crew to the scenic area to film.

This had huge potential benefits for Yushu County and Yingjianzui Scenic Area. County Magistrate Zifeng and I even attended the first welcome dinner together!

These popular female stars are also well-known; everyone should be familiar with them, right?

What can a few photos of handshakes prove? Even a polite hug is no big deal, right?

Some people make a big fuss about these things because they couldn't get more intimate photos. Isn't a handshake the most basic courtesy?

Many problems can be reflected from these photos."

"Secretary Guoliang's words are reasonable. I am the only female Comrade among our Leadership Team Members. Whether in the City Level or inspecting work in various districts and counties, I can't even count how many times I shake hands with people in a day.

Seeing these photos, I find it ridiculous and laughable, especially with the captions stating that Comrade Lin Zifeng has an unusual relationship with these female stars.

If we follow this logic, how am I supposed to explain it to my husband when I go home?"

Zhang Shulan, the only female Standing Committee Member of the Municipal Party Committee and head of the Propaganda Department, spoke up.

Her words made everyone chuckle.

Jiang Shiyu said after a moment, "Comrade Lin Zifeng's performance is a model among young Cadres. I don't think anyone is more suitable than Comrade Lin Zifeng to serve as the County Party Secretary of Yushu County."

Cao Mingxiu nodded and said, "I completely agree with the Mayor's opinion. Since Comrade Lin Zifeng has no issues, let's vote by a show of hands!

Those Comrades who agree with Comrade Lin Zifeng taking on the role of County Party Secretary of Yushu County, please raise your hands."

After saying this, Cao Mingxiu was the first to raise his hand, followed closely by Jiang Shiyu.

Seeing the two bigwigs unexpectedly take the lead in expressing their support for Lin Zifeng, coupled with the previous discussion, most Standing Committee Members successively raised their hands.

Even Li Wu, the Commander of the Military Sub-district, who almost always abstained, uncharacteristically cast an affirmative vote.

Among the eleven Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee Members, nine raised their hands. Everyone looked at Qian Yushu and Yang Dongming, some intentionally, some unintentionally.

The two knew that even if they voted against it, it would be useless and would only cause resentment from others.

Feeling everyone's gaze, the two exchanged glances and quickly raised their hands.

Wan Guoliang then spoke again, "Comrades, please put your hands down! I announce that Comrade Lin Zifeng has become the sole candidate for the County Party Secretary of Yushu County through a unanimous vote.

The results will be reported to the Provincial Party Committee after the meeting, and once the Provincial Party Committee approves, someone will be sent to Yushu County as soon as possible to announce the appointment.

Next, let's discuss the candidate for the acting County Magistrate of Yushu County."

"Secretary, before discussing the candidate for the acting County Magistrate of Yushu County, I have a proposal."

As soon as Cao Mingxiu finished speaking, Jiang Shiyu was the first to speak.

Cao Mingxiu smiled and nodded, signaling Jiang Shiyu to continue. Jiang Shiyu then continued, "Secretary, Comrades, after a period of observation, I believe that Comrade Zhao Liqiang's work performance is mediocre. He is not very suitable for practical work, but more suited for theoretical research.

Allowing this Comrade to continue working at the grassroots level does not allow him to leverage his strengths.

For the sake of the grassroots and for this Comrade's own development, I think it's better to transfer him to work in the City Level!

Our City Disabled Persons' Federation has had a Vice Chairman position vacant for several months. I personally believe that Comrade Zhao Liqiang is more suitable for this position.

What do the Secretary and Comrades think?"

"I think the Mayor's proposal is very appropriate. The work of our City Disabled Persons' Federation has always been relatively lagging.

Comrade Zhao Liqiang has a solid theoretical foundation. Serving as the Vice Chairman of the Disabled Persons' Federation will not only inject new blood into the Federation but also allow this Comrade to leverage his strengths.

I believe that Comrade Zhao Liqiang's appointment to the City Disabled Persons' Federation will definitely elevate its work to a new level."

Cao Mingxiu said earnestly, and their tone and expressions made it seem as if Zhao Liqiang was taking on a heavier burden.

Seeing the two bigwigs perform in perfect sync, Wan Guoliang, attending the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting for the first time, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He laughed inwardly and thought, 'This is truly murder without blood!' Zhao Liqiang, your political career is completely over.

Considering it from the perspective of the vested interests, if Lin Zifeng were to suffer misfortune, you, Zhao Liqiang, would be the biggest winner.

Although these people have no evidence, they can all guess that you must have been involved in some matters. The people here don't need any evidence; sufficient suspicion is enough.

The two who spoke are both vice-ministerial level bigwigs! Wanting to lead them by the nose must have already made them furious.

Others are hard to pursue, but how could you, this fool who surfaced, have a good ending?

Using you as an example can also warn and deter some people. Do you really think the Secretary and Mayor of a City Level are so easy to manipulate?

Even if you have a vice-ministerial level person backing you, it won't work. Some things still need a bottom line. Since you crossed the line, this is your consequence.

While Wan Guoliang was lost in thought, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee Li Xinzhang spoke up.

"I fully agree with the Secretary's and Mayor's proposal. All aspects of our City Level's work need to develop and progress. Comrade Zhao Liqiang is very suitable to serve as the Vice Chairman of the Disabled Persons' Federation."

Matters approved by the three bigwigs generally wouldn't encounter any surprises.

Most people earnestly expressed their agreement, as if they were discussing a very important position and all thought highly of Zhao Liqiang.

Although Qian Yushu and Yang Dongming had attended no less than ten Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meetings within two years, this was the first time they had experienced such a bizarre scene.

Thinking about their earlier performance, both couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

Ignoring further thoughts, they both expressed their support for this appointment. All they wanted now was to salvage their previous image. As for Zhao Liqiang's fate, what did it have to do with them?

They were afraid that this scene today might one day befall them.

Even Li Wu, the Commander of the Military Sub-district, understood what was going on. He never took sides and rarely participated in politics.

However, once he realized that Zhao Liqiang had deliberately slandered and framed a good County Magistrate like Lin Zifeng for his own advancement, he felt extreme disgust towards Zhao Liqiang.

Therefore, during the voting session, he once again uncharacteristically raised his hand in favor of Zhao Liqiang's appointment as Vice Chairman of the City Disabled Persons' Federation.

Thus, two rare appointments occurred at the Standing Committee meeting: Lin Zifeng passed unanimously and would assume the position of County Party Secretary of Yushu County after the Provincial Party Committee's approval.

Zhao Liqiang also passed unanimously, being transferred from deputy secretary of the county party committee of Yushu County to serve as Vice Chairman of the City Disabled Persons' Federation.
