490: Each has its own mission
After finishing lunch, Lin Zifeng returned to the lounge in his Office and called Li Yanran directly.
After Li Yanran answered the phone, Lin Zifeng told her without reservation that he was about to be transferred away from Chunhua City and would be taking up a post in Fengnan City.
Upon hearing the news from Lin Zifeng, Li Yanran was surprised but also happily congratulated him; her mood was not affected.
Sensing Li Yanran's attitude, Lin Zifeng said with some surprise, "Don't you feel even a little reluctant to see me go? The way you sound, it's as if you can't wait for me to leave Yushu City?"
"You are in the officialdom; isn't it your wish to be promoted, trusted, and move to a bigger platform? Which Cadre doesn't hope for their own progress? I understand you, that's why I congratulate you. Your transfer from Yushu City isn't a bad thing for me either. Too many people in Yushu City know you, and being with you feels like being a thief. When you get to a new environment, this situation might change a bit. Besides, why would I be reluctant to let you go? If you can go to Fengnan City to take up a post, why can't I go to Fengnan City too? You know I'm not staying at the Yushu City branch because of work; the work here is handled by the branch general manager! I can completely remote control from the headquarters in the capital. So, I can remote control the company's work from anywhere, right?" Li Yanran said with an understanding, cheerful, and relaxed tone.
"So that's what you were planning!" Hearing Li Yanran's plan, the corners of Lin Zifeng's mouth curled up, and a handsome smile appeared on his face.
"What else? I don't want to be separated from you in two different places for too long. Darling, you haven't called Ziyan to tell her yet, have you?"
"Yeah, I was planning to call Ziyan after finishing my call with you," Lin Zifeng said casually.
"Then you don't need to call Ziyan. She's in the Office next to mine. I'll call her over in a while and tell her about this!" Li Yanran said with a smile. Lin Zifeng agreed and hung up the phone.
Lin Zifeng wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep today no matter what. He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes until it was time for work. He got up, washed up, and went to the outer Office.
Five minutes before two o'clock, Lin Zifeng put down the study materials in his hand and got up to walk outside.
As soon as Lin Zifeng walked out of the Office, Wang Zhongyu came out of the small Office next door with a meeting notebook and followed behind Lin Zifeng.
The two arrived at the door of the conference room one after the other. Several secretaries waiting outside the conference room respectfully greeted Lin Zifeng.
Lin Zifeng nodded in response with a smile and walked into the conference room.
At this moment, inside the conference room, besides the Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Yushu City, all the deputy section-level Cadres of Yushu City were already waiting in the conference room.
Seeing Lin Zifeng and Wang Zhongyu walk into the conference room one after the other, everyone stood up spontaneously and started applauding in unison.
Lin Zifeng was slightly stunned. He knew that everyone was expressing their affirmation of his governance during his time in Yushu City in this way, so he felt a warmth in his heart and walked to the main seat while applauding.
Only then did he press his hands down in the air and say, "Comrades, please sit down!"
After Lin Zifeng sat down with everyone, his gaze swept across every familiar and dear face before he spoke again: "Comrades, the reason I proposed to convene an expanded Standing Committee meeting is that my Secretary told me that many of our Comrades want to report their work to me. Everyone present here is a revolutionary Comrade who has worked hard together with me for the construction of Yushu City. I know the purpose of you Comrades reporting your work to me. If I were to meet with each of you Comrades one by one, I wouldn't be able to do anything else in the remaining days I have in Yushu City. So, I gathered you all together for a 'one-pot stew'."
Hearing the descriptor in Lin Zifeng's last sentence, everyone couldn't help but laugh good-naturedly.
After the laughter stopped, Cao Shuang spoke first: "Secretary, are you really going to be transferred away from our Yushu City? Our Yushu City is at a critical moment of rapid development; how could the higher-level leaders transfer you away at this time?"
"I am also equally reluctant to see the Secretary leave, but fortunately, the Secretary is being promoted this time, directly elevated to the position of Mayor of Fengnan City. So, no matter how reluctant we are, we can only happily wish the Secretary well," Wei Ting said with a complex expression.
Hearing what the two said, everyone spoke up one after another to congratulate Lin Zifeng.
After the conference room returned to calm, Lin Zifeng spoke: "Thank you all for your well wishes, Comrades! Since everyone has already received the news, I won't beat around the bush with you all. There is no banquet in the world that doesn't come to an end. Just like everyone else, I have my own mission in the future. I believe that even if I leave, you Comrades, under the leadership of the Mayor, will be able to continue pushing Yushu City toward a brilliant and glorious future. The official appointment has not yet been issued, and I will still work in Yushu City for a period of time, so this is not yet the time for me to say goodbye to you Comrades. So I won't say too much. If I say everything now, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to have nothing to say when I actually leave?"
After saying this, Lin Zifeng and everyone laughed together.
After the laughter stopped, Lin Zifeng spoke again: "Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, please stay. Other Comrades may leave."
Zhang Zhenhua and a group of Vice Mayors who were not Standing Committee Members, as well as other deputy section-level Cadres, stood up one after another and left the conference room.
Next, the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee officially began to study and discuss a series of personnel appointments.
The Standing Committee meeting went exceptionally smoothly, and all personnel appointments carried out Lin Zifeng's will.
After the Standing Committee meeting ended, everyone crowded around Lin Zifeng as he walked out of the conference room, chatting and laughing as they parted ways at the corridor entrance and headed towards their own Offices.
Seeing that others had left, Wei Ting walked a few steps quickly to Lin Zifeng's side and said, "Secretary, I'll organize a gathering tonight and invite Mayor Cao and the others for a small get-together! We Cadres who came out of Heping Town haven't gathered for a long time. You are about to be transferred away from Yushu City, and it won't be easy to meet up in the future."
"I already have plans for tonight; I'm going to eat with my family. How about this, Secretary Wei, let's schedule it for tomorrow night!" Lin Zifeng said after hesitating for a moment.
"Alright, Secretary, I'll follow your arrangements. Then we'll meet at the usual place tomorrow night! I'll handle everything else; you just need to show up tomorrow night," Wei Ting said quickly.
Seeing Lin Zifeng nod with a smile, Wei Ting left happily.
Lin Zifeng returned to his Office and received a call from Li Yuhang, whose purpose was also to invite him to dinner. Lin Zifeng did not refuse but scheduled Li Yuhang's treat for the night after tomorrow.
