462: That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

Lin Zifeng returned to his Office and had Wang Zhongyu brew tea in advance, instructing Wang Zhongyu to wait outside the Office for Zhu Jiahua.

It was not long before Wang Zhongyu brought Zhu Jiahua in. Lin Zifeng hurriedly stood up to welcome him, and after shaking hands with Zhu Jiahua, the two sat down on the sofa together.

After Wang Zhongyu exited the Office, Zhu Jiahua spoke: "Secretary Lin, the work of the secret investigation team this time has been remarkably effective, which is why the deputy secretary of the county party committee of Jianyang County and the Deputy Director of the Municipal Education Bureau have both fallen."

"The fate of these two corrupt elements was already sealed. As such, these two deputy section-level positions have become vacant."

"The main agenda for this afternoon's Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting is these two personnel issues."

"I have already communicated with the other Standing Committee Members in advance regarding these two personnel appointments."

"It is only because Secretary Lin was not working at the Municipal Party Committee that I am taking this opportunity to seek your opinion in person."

Hearing what Zhu Jiahua said, Lin Zifeng thought for a moment and said: "Minister Zhu, have the candidates for these two positions already been decided?"

Zhu Jiahua nodded without denying it and said again: "For the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee of Jianyang County, two candidates have been determined: Comrade Li Dongshan, the Executive Deputy County Mayor of Jianyang County, and Comrade Zhao Yang, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Youth League Committee. For the position of Deputy Director of the Municipal Education Bureau, there are also two candidates: Comrade Yu Wang, the Office Director of the Municipal Education Bureau, and Comrade Wang Mei, the Section Chief of the Education Fund Management Section."

Hearing Zhu Jiahua's introduction, Lin Zifeng nodded and said: "Minister Zhu, to be honest with you, I don't know much about these four Comrades, so it is difficult for me to comment."

"However, I know that to be listed as candidates, these four Comrades must have outstanding work capabilities and be very excellent Cadres."

"But I feel that these two important positions should not be limited to local, local system, and municipal-level units; we should also look at other Districts and Counties and select the best of the best."

Zhu Jiahua understood the subtext of Lin Zifeng's words, so he asked: "Secretary Lin, do you have more suitable candidates to recommend?"

"Then I won't beat around the bush with Minister Zhu. To tell you the truth, our Yushu City has many excellent section-level and Division Level Cadres."

"However, the Standing Committee meeting is this afternoon, and these four candidates have already been approved by other Standing Committee Members."

"If I were to add candidates at the last minute, it would be breaking the rules, and it would also put you in a difficult position, Minister Zhu."

"Let's leave it at this for now, but in the future, Minister Zhu, please don't launch a surprise attack on me again."

Although Lin Zifeng spoke lightly and remained all smiles, his words clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.

The Standing Committee meeting was to be held in the afternoon, and Zhu Jiahua was only now coming to seek his opinion; wasn't this just going through the motions?

As the seventh-ranked member among the thirteen Standing Committee Members of the Municipal Party Committee, only one rank lower than Zhu Jiahua, it would be strange if Lin Zifeng didn't have an opinion.

As the Head of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, how could Zhu Jiahua not understand the meaning behind Lin Zifeng's words?

So he hurriedly said: "Secretary Lin, it was my lack of consideration. I handled this matter inappropriately."

"This will be the only time; it will not happen again. In the future, I will prevent similar things from happening again."

"Even if you and I are very busy with work, we can communicate by phone! This is also because this personnel adjustment was too sudden, and the time was too short. I ask for Secretary Lin's understanding!"

Hearing that Zhu Jiahua had spoken to this extent, Lin Zifeng waved his hand and said: "Minister Zhu, you are being too serious. I also want to recommend excellent Cadres to our Municipal Party Committee Organization Department and contribute to the Municipal Party Committee's personnel adjustments, right?"

"It is unavoidable that some negligence will occur in our work, and it is all understandable."

"It is almost lunchtime; let's go to the Government Canteen to eat together!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Secretary Lin. I owe Secretary Lin a favor this time. Secretary Lin, please." Zhu Jiahua said with a smile.

What Lin Zifeng wanted was exactly this statement from Zhu Jiahua. He wanted to use this opportunity to pave the way for Qin Xiao to become the Executive Deputy Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.

As the assistant to the Head of the Organization Department, Zhu Jiahua, the Minister, had a great say in the selection of the Executive Deputy Minister.

So Lin Zifeng smiled and nodded, then said again: "I have noted this statement from Minister Zhu, and I will take it seriously."

The two laughed simultaneously and stood up together, walking out of the Office.

After the two walked out of the Office, Wang Zhongyu and Zhu Jiahua's Secretary followed behind them. The four of them came downstairs together and walked towards the Government Canteen.

After lunch, Lin Zifeng returned to the Office and rested until the afternoon work time before walking towards the Small Meeting Room accompanied by Wang Zhongyu.

The Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting proceeded without incident, and all agenda items were passed smoothly.

After the Standing Committee meeting ended, Lin Zifeng returned to his Office and took money from his pocket to give to Wang Zhongyu.

"Zhongyu, you and Qiang Zi go buy some nutritional supplements for me. I am going to visit the Secretary's house tonight."

"Yes, Secretary. I will definitely handle it properly for you."

Wang Zhongyu took the money and turned to walk out of the Office.

Lin Zifeng then walked out of the Office and headed towards Jiang Shiyu's Office.

Led by Jiang Shiyu's Secretary, Lin Zifeng walked into Jiang Shiyu's Office.

Seeing Lin Zifeng walk in, Jiang Shiyu smiled, shook hands with Lin Zifeng, and said: "Secretary Zifeng, sit down and talk. Little Zhao, pour the tea."

Zhao Hao agreed, poured tea for the two quickly and efficiently, and then tactfully exited the Office.

Lin Zifeng then began to report on the recent work of Yushu City to Jiang Shiyu in an orderly manner.

More than half an hour later, Lin Zifeng's report neared its end.

"Secretary, the overall work of our Yushu City is improving comprehensively. We are confident that we can improve our ranking in the National Top 100 Counties by more than ten places this year."

After listening to Lin Zifeng's work report, Jiang Shiyu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Secretary Zifeng, the development of your Yushu City is changing with each passing day!"

"This morning, the Municipal Party Committee Office received a notice forwarded by the Provincial Party Committee General Office regarding the Ministry of Railways."

"The jingnan high-speed railway line has been confirmed to pass through Yushu City, and two high-speed railway stations will be set up within Yushu City."

"This is absolutely like adding wings to a tiger for Yushu City!"

"I believe that under your leadership, the future development of Yushu City will get better and better."

"Thank you, Secretary, for your recognition of our Yushu City's work and your expectations for our work. We will definitely not let down your high hopes." Lin Zifeng said hurriedly.

The two discussed work-related matters for another half hour. After finishing the work discussion, Lin Zifeng spoke again: "Secretary, I miss the food cooked by your aunt."

"I plan to visit your house tonight. I wonder if you are welcoming, Secretary?"

Hearing what Lin Zifeng said, Jiang Shiyu smiled and said: "Of course you are welcome. Your aunt often mentions you at home!"

"If she knew you were coming to visit tonight, your aunt would be very happy."

"Since that girl Yuxi went traveling, she has been playing wild. She hasn't come back for such a long time, and after work, it's just the two of us Old Couple left, lonely."

"If you come to visit, the house will have more life. Drink a few cups with me tonight."

Seeing Jiang Shiyu's happy appearance, Lin Zifeng smiled and nodded.
