485: Flowers grown in a greenhouse can never grow into towering trees.

Seeing the gunpowder smell in the meeting, and with Qian Guorui personally stepping in to protect Xiao Hua, Zhao Laifu waved his hand, interrupting Cao Mingxiu who wanted to explain, and spoke again: "It is very normal to have different opinions; everything is for the sake of work! Governor, what is your opinion?"

As the Provincial Party Secretary, Zhao Laifu needed to control the situation of the Standing Committee. He also saw that the group led by Qian Guorui and the group led by Chen Yuanhua had disagreements over the candidate for this position, so he directly asked for Chen Yuanhua's opinion.

It looked like he wasn't favoring either side, but in reality, he was leaning towards Chen Yuanhua's side, because the opinion of Governor Chen Yuanhua had a certain influence on the other members of the Standing Committee.

According to custom, it was not yet time for Chen Yuanhua to express his opinion, but since Secretary Zhao Laifu had taken the initiative to ask, it was different.

So Chen Yuanhua smiled and nodded, saying: "I think the positions of Secretary Qian Guorui and Governor Cao Mingxiu both have their own merits, which also shows from another aspect how excellent these two candidates are. I believe Comrade Xiao Hua can serve as the Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of Chunhua City, and Comrade Xu Minghao can serve as the Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Yushu City and the Municipal Party Secretary of Yushu City. These two personnel appointments do not conflict."

Chen Yuanhua proposed another suggestion, which could be considered a compromise, taking both sides into account.

The reason he proposed such a suggestion was that it could both ensure the continuity of Yushu City's work and ensure that Qian Guorui's side did not end up with nothing.

The reason Chen Yuanhua proposed such a compromise was that he knew clearly in his heart that if he really went head-to-head with Qian Guorui and the others, even if he could defeat the other side, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

Zhao Laifu did not want to see such a thing happen, and Chen Yuanhua himself did not want to affect his own prestige.

Hearing the suggestion proposed by Chen Yuanhua, Sun Jialin felt somewhat unwilling that Xiao Hua could not succeed as the Municipal Party Secretary of Yushu City. Just as he wanted to speak again, he was stopped by a look from Qian Guorui.

Qian Guorui also considered the same concerns as Chen Yuanhua, because he knew that although he was the third-in-command, he did not yet have the strength to arm-wrestle with Chen Yuanhua, which was why he stopped Sun Jialin from speaking again.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Zhao Laifu smiled and nodded, finalizing the decision by saying: "I fully agree with the Governor's opinion. Let's raise our hands to vote now!"

Just like that, the two personnel appointments for Xiao Hua and Xu Minghao were both passed by a high number of votes.

The subsequent personnel appointments were all passed smoothly without any waves.

The Provincial Party Standing Committee meeting lasted for the entire morning before it ended. With the end of the Provincial Party Standing Committee meeting, the news flew to every Prefecture-level City as if it had grown wings.

Upon receiving the news about the Provincial Party Standing Committee meeting, Jiang Shiyu couldn't quite believe his ears. After confirming with the other party again, he hung up the phone, digested the news for a moment, and then called Chen Yuanhua directly.

The two exchanged words over the phone. Although Jiang Shiyu was very reluctant to part with his beloved subordinate Lin Zifeng, no matter what, this was a huge promotion for Lin Zifeng, so he chose to accept it.

Chen Yuanhua said at the end of the call: "Secretary Shiyu, this personnel appointment is the collective will of the Provincial Standing Committee, and it can be said to be the general trend. Although it disrupted our previous arrangements for Zifeng, the result is still good. There is a saying from Secretary Qian Guorui that I strongly agree with, which is that flowers in a greenhouse cannot grow into towering trees; Zifeng should go to a more complex environment to be tempered. Zifeng might not be able to accept it for a moment, as he wanted to see things through to the end in Yushu City. You need to do the ideological work for him so that he can take up his post in Fengnan City without any mental burden."

Chen Yuanhua felt that Jiang Shiyu was more suitable for doing Lin Zifeng's ideological work.

"Very well, Governor. Fortunately, the newly appointed Municipal Party Secretary of Yushu City is Mayor Xu Minghao, so I can better do Zifeng's ideological work. Even though Secretary Zifeng is leaving Yushu City, although there is regret, I will be more at ease."

Jiang Shiyu quickly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shiyu called his Secretary, Zhao Hao, and asked him to notify Lin Zifeng to arrive at the Municipal Party Committee before two o'clock in the afternoon.

While eating lunch, Lin Zifeng received a notification from the Municipal Party Committee Office through Wang Zhongyu.

Lin Zifeng didn't think much of it, thinking that Jiang Shiyu wanted to discuss work with him! So, after eating lunch, accompanied by Li Qiang and Wang Zhongyu, he headed towards the City Level.

With five minutes left until two o'clock, Li Qiang drove the car into the Municipal Party Committee Compound.

Lin Zifeng arrived outside Jiang Shiyu's Office just on time. Zhao Hao, who had been paying attention to the movement outside, heard the footsteps in the corridor and walked directly out of the Office, stretching out his hand to welcome Lin Zifeng with a full face of smiles.

"Hello, Secretary Lin. The Secretary is waiting for you in his Office! He has already instructed me in advance to let you go directly to the Secretary's Office when you arrive."

Lin Zifeng shook hands with Zhao Hao to express his thanks, and then followed him to the door of Jiang Shiyu's Office.

Zhao Hao knocked on the door, and upon hearing the sound to come in, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Secretary, Secretary Lin is here."

Jiang Shiyu stood up, walked around the desk, and came to greet Lin Zifeng. Lin Zifeng took the initiative to smile and extend his hand, saying while shaking hands with Jiang Shiyu: "Good afternoon, Secretary."

"Secretary Zifeng, there is no need to be so polite. Sit down and let's talk!"

Lin Zifeng and Jiang Shiyu sat down on the sofa together. Zhao Hao poured tea for Lin Zifeng and then exited the Office.

Seeing the Office door closed, Jiang Shiyu finally spoke: "Secretary Zifeng, we have known each other for five or six years now, right? I remember when I first met you, I was only a Deputy Secretary, and you and our Yufei were still working in Heping Town. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and you have already grown into an excellent and outstanding Deputy Department-Level Cadre. Time really flies!"

There was one thing Jiang Shiyu didn't say, which was that you are about to become a mayor at the departmental level.

Seeing Jiang Shiyu's face filled with reminiscence, Lin Zifeng couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion, and quickly said: "If it weren't for your constant guidance and cultivation, and your unconditional support for my work all these years, I would not have achieved what I have today."

"This is inseparable from your own efforts. You are the most outstanding young Cadre I have ever met, and you work hard enough. Sometimes being too outstanding is not necessarily a good thing!" Jiang Shiyu said with implied meaning.

Hearing the last sentence spoken by Jiang Shiyu, Lin Zifeng was slightly stunned, feeling a bit confused.

Seeing the trace of confusion on Lin Zifeng's face, Jiang Shiyu felt that he had paved the way enough, so he spoke again: "The Provincial Party Committee held a Provincial Party Standing Committee meeting this morning. There have been some changes regarding your personnel appointment. You will not be able to take over the position of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee of Chunhua City. At the Provincial Party Standing Committee meeting, the Provincial Party Committee Leaders conducted comprehensive considerations and finally reached a unified opinion, deciding to transfer you away from our Chunhua City and appoint you as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and acting mayor of Fengnan City."
