323: Li Yuhang arrives

The enlarged Standing Committee meeting began on time. During the meeting, Lin Zifeng, under the guise of warmly welcoming a provincial Cadre to take up a post in Yushu City, indirectly explained the nature of this personnel appointment.

This was equivalent to conveying the origins and reasons behind this personnel appointment to all the Cadres in the City Level.

At the same time, he emphasized that there should be no exclusionary thinking, and that Yushu City's Cadre system would move toward diversification in the future.

If suitable opportunities arose, the leadership team of Yushu City would also recommend outstanding Cadres from Yushu City to the provincial and municipal governments, as well as other districts and counties.

Those sitting in the meeting room were all Deputy-Section-Level cadres; it could be said they were quick on the uptake and immediately understood the purpose of calling this meeting.

Several people cast very subtle glances at Qin Xiao, their eyes filled with regret.

Due to the few items on the agenda and Lin Zifeng's intentional efforts over the past few years, every meeting was conducted with great efficiency.

Therefore, after just over half an hour, the enlarged Standing Committee meeting concluded.

Lin Zifeng was the first to stand and leave, and the others followed behind him, chatting and laughing as they left the meeting room one after another.

Except for the Standing Committee Members, everyone else headed toward the large conference room, preparing to start the Cadre Meeting directly.

Lin Zifeng and the others strolled to the main gate to wait for the arrival of Minister Zhu Jiahua and his party from the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.

Wei Ting took a few quick steps to Lin Zifeng's side and asked in a low voice, "Secretary, I wonder who this provincial Cadre is, the Comrade who is about to serve as a Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Party Secretary of Heping Town?"

"How is it that not even a whisper of news leaked out beforehand?"

"I'm not even clear on exactly who they are myself right now. Won't we know once they arrive? Let's just treat it with an ordinary mindset!"

Lin Zifeng said in a flat tone, though he couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity in his heart.

Lin Zifeng led all the Standing Committee Members to the main gate. While waiting for the arrival of Zhu Jiahua's party, he chatted quietly with the people around him.

"Secretary, some gossip has been coming from the City Level recently. Our Secretary Cao might be moved in this year's personnel adjustments; I heard he's getting a promotion."

"There's a high probability that Mayor Jiang will take over the position of Municipal Party Secretary. I wonder if this news is true?"

Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Li Minghao said in a low voice.

Lin Zifeng knew in his heart that if Secretary Li Minghao could say this, the other Standing Committee Members had likely received similar news as well.

So he said with a smile, "I've heard such rumors too, but before they become reality, anything is possible."

Wei Ting nodded and said, "Our Yushu City successfully completed the County-to-city conversion last year, and everyone's treatment was raised by one level, which counts as a collective promotion."

"This year, besides Yufei being transferred to the Municipal Womens Federation, once this provincial Cadre is air-dropped in, the personnel adjustments for Yushu City's leadership team should be over."

"Secretary Wei, you're being a bit too absolute. Don't forget, our Secretary is the strongest contender to join the ranks of the Chunhua City Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee."

"I feel that our Secretary is the most qualified among all the Division Level Cadres in Chunhua City."

Xu Minghao added to the conversation.

"I actually overlooked that part. If the Secretary is promoted to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, our Yushu City will have even more of a voice in the City Level."

Wei Ting said, sincerely happy for Lin Zifeng.

Seeing that other Standing Committee Members were about to join the topic, Lin Zifeng quickly smiled and waved his hand to interrupt them.

"Everyone, let's not discuss this topic further. For something that hasn't reached a conclusion, if it fails and the word has spread, it will instead become a laughingstock. I don't want to become a target for everyone."

Everyone understood Lin Zifeng's personality, so upon hearing his words, they all nodded with smiles and changed the subject.

The group chatted for over ten minutes before they saw three small cars lined up, driving toward them from a distance. Everyone quickly stood up straight.

The three cars stopped seven or eight meters in front of them. Seeing Zhu Jiahua get out of the car, Lin Zifeng was the first to go up and greet him, shaking hands while saying, "Welcome to Yushu City, Minister Zhu. You've brought an excellent Cadre to our Yushu City."

"Secretary Zifeng is too polite. This is just my duty,"

Zhu Jiahua said with a genial attitude.

At that moment, a figure that took Lin Zifeng completely by surprise stepped out of the second car and walked toward them, arriving behind Zhu Jiahua in just a few steps.

Seeing this person appear, Lin Zifeng thought of many things in an instant.

He never expected that the provincial Cadre coming to take office in Yushu City would actually be Li Yuhang.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Lin Zifeng knew that Li Yuhang was going to the grassroots level for training and a post; at that time, Li Yuhang had hoped to come to Chunhua City.

He didn't expect that Li Yuhang's wish would not only come true, but that he would come directly to Yushu City to work and serve on the same team as Lin Zifeng.

Li Yuhang had no grassroots work experience, so being able to serve as a Member of the Standing Committee of the Yushu City Municipal Party Committee and the Party Secretary of Heping Town was indeed the most suitable position for him.

Lin Zifeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly; it really was easier to be an official when you had people in the imperial court! It had only been a few days since Yufei was transferred to the Municipal Womens Federation, and Li Yuhang had already come to fill this position.

One could imagine the powerful control of the number one person in Huanan Province.

Lin Zifeng instinctively wanted to take the initiative to greet Li Yuhang, but he was stopped by a look from Li Yuhang's eyes.

Lin Zifeng understood the other's thoughts in an instant. Li Yuhang didn't want to expose the relationship between the two of them in front of everyone, and he didn't want to use his connections to quickly establish a foothold in Yushu City!

He understood that Li Yuhang had his own pride, so he very cooperatively remained calm and composed.

These processes all happened in an instant, and the others didn't notice anything unusual at all.

Then Zhu Jiahua spoke to introduce them: "Secretary Zifeng, this is Comrade Li Yuhang, the former Deputy Director of the Personnel Division of the Provincial Party Committee General Office."

"Director Li, this is Comrade Lin Zifeng, the Municipal Party Secretary of Yushu City."

Hearing Zhu Jiahua's introduction, Li Yuhang was the first to extend his hand to Lin Zifeng with a face full of smiles.

"Hello, Secretary. I am Li Yuhang. I will be carrying out my work under your leadership from now on, and I hope for your guidance."

Li Yuhang displayed the attitude a subordinate should have. Those who didn't know the inside story would have thought the two were meeting for the first time!

Xu Minghao and the other Standing Committee Members saw every bit of that scene just now.

They all thought to themselves: as expected of a provincial Cadre! So young, looking about the same age as their own young Secretary, and already a Deputy Director of the Personnel Division in the Provincial Party Committee General Office.

Transferring to Yushu City was just a lateral move, only his benefits had been raised by one level.

Looking at his attitude, he didn't have the supercilious and arrogant air of a Provincial Party Committee organ cadre; he shouldn't be difficult to get along with in work.

In such a setting, Li Yuhang's choice not to expose his relationship with Lin Zifeng was correct; everyone's first impression of him was quite good.
