470: We cannot allow those with ulterior motives to take advantage of this situation.

Lin Zifeng and the other two arrived at the Municipal Party Committee Compound. It was noon break, and the compound was quiet. After getting out of the car, the three walked together towards the Office building.

Lin Zifeng went to his Office and then to the rest area behind it to relax.

Wang Zhongyu and Li Qiang tidied up the Office before going to the small Office next to it to rest.

Lin Zifeng napped for an hour and woke up precisely when it was time for work in the afternoon.

After a simple wash-up, he came out to the outer Office. Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Zifeng got up and walked out.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wang Zhongyu came out of the small Office next to him, took the water cup from Lin Zifeng's hand, and followed behind Lin Zifeng, walking with him towards the conference room.

When Lin Zifeng entered the conference room, only the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhu Yiming, was seated inside. The other Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee had not yet arrived.

Seeing Lin Zifeng enter the Office, Zhu Yiming quickly stood up, shaking hands with Lin Zifeng and saying, "Secretary Lin is here?

Yushu City has achieved a great harvest during this period! Secretary Lin, you have received the honor of National Outstanding County Party Secretary. I'll boldly guess that your next promotion isn't far off."

"Then I'll take the Secretary-General's auspicious words, but the Secretary-General is too kind. At our level, it's difficult to take even a small step forward, so how can one say promotion just happens!"

Lin Zifeng said as he sat down with Zhu Yiming.

"For others, it might be even harder, but for Secretary Lin, there's no such restriction.

You led the Cadres and masses of Yushu City onto the fast track of rapid development, building Yushu City so well and achieving so many honors. If such an excellent Cadre doesn't get promoted, what kind of Cadre does?

Your promotion is what everyone hopes for; no Cadre would be unconvinced."

Zhu Yiming said with an envious look.

Hearing Zhu Yiming's confident words, Lin Zifeng quickly said, "Secretary-General, we are classmates from the Provincial Party School. Let's just say these things privately.

If others heard it, who knows how they would misinterpret it?

They might not say I'm arrogant, but they would say you're deliberately praising me to harm me, thereby sowing discord between us. We can't give opportunists a chance!"

Lin Zifeng, who always wanted to keep a low profile, could only say this to make Zhu Yiming not repeat these words in front of others in the future. Since the other person was speaking well of him, he couldn't tell them to shut up, so he could only use such language to make Zhu Yiming speak cautiously.

Hearing what Lin Zifeng said, Zhu Yiming pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Just then, Zhu Jiahua and Gao Mingyuan successively entered the Office. Lin Zifeng and Zhu Yiming quickly stood up to greet them, ending their previous conversation.

Over the next few minutes, except for Municipal Party Secretary Jiang Shiyu, the Mayor and other Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee gradually arrived.

Everyone in the conference room was talking softly to those around them until Jiang Shiyu, accompanied by his Secretary, entered the conference room, and silence fell.

Jiang Shiyu sat in the main seat, looked at the Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee seated on both sides, and then spoke, "Since all Comrades have arrived, let's start the meeting now.

First, Secretary Guoliang will read out the important document from the higher authorities. Comrades must earnestly study the spirit of the document."

As Jiang Shiyu's words fell, Wan Guoliang picked up the prepared document, while others picked up their meeting notebooks and pens.

The Standing Committee meeting proceeded item by item according to the pre-arranged agenda.

Over an hour later, the meeting finally reached the agenda item that Lin Zifeng was more concerned about: the selection of the successor for the Executive Deputy Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.

Jiang Shiyu spoke again, "Comrades, Comrade Qian Yuhua, the Executive Deputy Minister of our Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, is about to retire.

Minister Zhu, please introduce the candidates suitable for this position to the Comrades, and then let the Comrades discuss it thoroughly!"

Zhu Jiahua assented and then said, "Secretary, Mayor, Comrades, after strict screening by our Organization Department and comprehensive evaluation of various aspects, we have recommended two candidates.

These two Comrades are Comrade Qin Xiao, a Member of the Municipal Party Committee and Vice Mayor of Yushu City, and the other Comrade is Comrade Li Ronghe, Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office.

Below, I will introduce the resumes of these two Comrades."

Next, Zhu Jiahua detailed the work experience of Qin Xiao and Li Ronghe since they joined the workforce.

After reading out their resumes, Zhu Jiahua put down the materials in his hand and spoke again, "Secretary, Mayor, Comrades, these two Comrades are both very excellent Cadres, each with their own strengths.

Comrade Qin Xiao has rich grassroots work experience. Since joining the workforce, she has been diligent and responsible in every task and understands grassroots work better.

Comrade Li Ronghe, on the other hand, has rich experience in government agency work and can complete every task assigned by leaders on time and with high quality."

Zhu Jiahua's words seemed fair and impartial, but everyone present understood that he leaned more towards Qin Xiao taking on the role of Executive Deputy Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.

After saying this, Zhu Jiahua looked at Jiang Shiyu, smiled, and nodded slightly, indicating that he had finished speaking.

Jiang Shiyu nodded and spoke again, "Which of these two Comrades is more suitable to take on the role of Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department? Comrades, please discuss!"

After Jiang Shiyu said this, he looked at everyone, but no one was willing to express their views first. They were all observing others, wanting to understand the thoughts of the other Standing Committee Members.

The conference room was silent for over a minute. Seeing that no one was willing to speak first, Jiang Shiyu had no choice but to call out a name.

"Minister Zhu, the Executive Deputy Minister is your capable assistant. Why don't you express your opinion first!"

Being called out by the Municipal Party Secretary, Zhu Jiahua, who also wanted to gauge the atmosphere, had to speak.

"Secretary, Mayor, Comrades, regarding this personnel appointment, I think this way: Comrade Qin Xiao has rich grassroots work experience and understands the grassroots very well.

Most of our Organization Department's work involves dealing with grassroots districts and counties, so I lean more towards Comrade Qin Xiao taking on this position."

Hearing Zhu Jiahua's stance, Qian Yushu couldn't help but speak.

"I don't quite agree with Minister Zhu's opinion. If we always favor Comrades with grassroots work experience for Cadre promotions in the future, then won't our agency Cadres have no hope of promotion? Is this fair to our agency Comrades?"

"Mayor Qian, I'm just stating the facts; don't try to twist the concept!

I just think my assistant needs rich grassroots work experience. Your remarks aren't pushing me to be against the agency Cadres, are they? I won't wear that big hat."

After saying this, Zhu Jiahua kept curling his lips inwardly, thinking, 'This guy still can't get rid of his bad habit of randomly pinning labels on people!'

But this time you've miscalculated. It's something the top three leaders have all agreed on, and you're still jumping out to seek attention. You won't change anything except make a fool of yourself.
