51: Yu Guodong and others were placed under investigation.

Lin Zifeng was still somewhat surprised to receive a call from Xu Yanjun.

After Zhang Yuhao left Yushu County, the deputy secretary of the county party committee and Executive Deputy County Mayor Qian Dagang had engaged in fierce competition for the position of county mayor, running to the City Level almost every two or three days.

However, half a month later, the Municipal Party Committee finally appointed Qian Dagang as the acting county mayor of Yushu County, and the Deputy Secretary had lost the competition.

Judging by the tone of the person just now, could it be that Yu Guodong had fallen, and he would be promoted directly to County Party Secretary?

But he hadn't even won the competition for county mayor; would this long-time third-in-command of Yushu County end up with nothing but empty joy?

It wouldn't take long for his guess to become reality.

The reason Xu Yanjun was like this was because he had received a call from Municipal Party Secretary Cao Mingxiu last night.

Cao Mingxiu told him over the phone that Yu Guodong had been placed under investigation, and asked him to temporarily preside over the work of the County Party Committee, ensuring that all work in Yushu County remained stable.

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yanjun was overwhelmed with immense surprise.

Because more than a month ago, when Zhang Yuhao was transferred, Executive Deputy County Mayor Qian Dagang was responsible for temporarily presiding over the work of the County Government.

By presiding over it, he eventually became the real county mayor.

Now that he was asked to temporarily preside over the work of the County Party Committee, with the precedent set, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He thought he had finally paid his dues after all these years! So he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

However, what he didn't know was that his temporary presiding role was truly just temporary.

Because the candidate for the new County Party Secretary had already been approved by a vote of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

The reason they couldn't take Office immediately was because there were procedures to follow, which was why he was asked to preside over the work temporarily.

When Lin Zifeng sat down in front of Xu Yanjun, he saw that Xu Yanjun's eyes were bloodshot, but his spirits were very high.

After the Secretary finished pouring the water and left, he said with a look of concern: "Secretary Xu, you didn't rest well? Is work too busy?"

"No matter how busy work is, you must pay attention to balancing work and rest. Health is the capital of the revolution!"

Because he was in a great mood, Xu Yanjun felt that Lin Zifeng, whom he had previously looked down upon, was much more pleasing to the eye.

So he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's an old problem. It's just a bit of neurasthenia and insomnia."

Subsequently, the two exchanged some idle chatter, and after a few minutes, Xu Yanjun finally got to the point.

"Town Mayor Zifeng, I have received a notification from the relevant departments. Yu Hualin of your Heping Town has been placed under investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission due to violations of law and discipline."

"It also implicated the Deputy Secretary of your town, Li Meide, the director of the Finance Office, Yu Shuxin, and even his Secretary, Qian Ke."

Although Lin Zifeng had expected this, he still appropriately displayed a look of surprise.

He quickly asked: "Secretary Xu, what exactly is going on? How could such a big thing happen after just one weekend?"

"The specific reasons will have to wait for the investigation and announcement by the higher authorities. What I also want to tell you is that certain County Leaders have also been implicated in this."

"They will not be able to return to their original positions. With both the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Heping Town falling, you have become the pillar of Heping Town."

"I require you to ensure the stability of Heping Town, and all work must continue to be carried out steadily and orderly."

"You must be brave enough to take on the heavy responsibility and not fail the trust and expectations of the organization."

"I will communicate and consult with County Mayor Dagang to issue a document as soon as possible, allowing you to temporarily preside over the overall work of Heping Town until the candidate for the new Secretary is determined."

"Please rest assured, Secretary Xu. I will do my best to complete the tasks you have entrusted to me."

Lin Zifeng quickly stood up and said with a solemn face.

Xu Yanjun stood up, walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Work hard. I believe in you. If there are any problems you cannot solve, you can call me at any time."

"Thank you, Secretary Xu, for your encouragement and support in my work."

He quickly expressed his gratitude!

Half an hour later, he left Xu Yanjun's Office.

Just as he was thinking about paying a visit to County Mayor Qian Dagang under the guise of reporting on his work, he didn't expect that Qian Dagang's Secretary would call him first.

More than an hour later, he walked out of Qian Dagang's Office.

The purpose of Qian Dagang seeing him was much the same as Xu Yanjun's.

However, one sentence from Qian Dagang left him feeling bewildered, and even after sitting in his car, he was still thinking about the meaning of that sentence.

"Town Mayor Zifeng, when there is an opportunity in the future, let's go and pay a visit to Minister Li of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department together."

"You cannot always just bury yourself in work. When it is time to report to the leaders, you still need to report."

He was bewildered at the time and just mumbled in agreement to get by.

He felt that Qian Dagang's attitude towards him today was much kinder than before. Not only did he encourage him for quite a while, but he was also cheerful when facing him, and the final words he said were even more baffling.

As a member of the officialdom, he was no stranger to Li Xinzhang, the Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, who controlled the official positions of all Cadres in Chunhua City.

Although he had never met the person, he had seen him many times on television news and in newspapers.

But he was just a small town mayor, and he had absolutely no connection to the high-and-mighty Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.

A county mayor had the qualifications to report directly to the Minister of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department.

As a small town mayor, there were many levels between him and the minister. Wouldn't it be a joke to bring him along to report to the minister?

Therefore, he could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

What he didn't know was that this matter was because Jiang Shiyu had intentionally mentioned him on the way back to the Standing Committee building with Li Xinzhang after the meeting last night.

Jiang Shiyu told Li Xinzhang that there was a twenty-four-year-old young town mayor in Yushu County who was courageous, insightful, and resourceful.

Lin Zifeng deserved credit for Jiang Yufei being able to escape from Heping Town so quickly this time.

This Lin Zifeng dared to confront Yu Hualin head-on, who had just been arrested. He did not give in at all to the deeply rooted Yu Hualin, and dared to slam the table at the Party Committee Meeting and stick to his principles.

He did this at the risk of offending Yu Guodong, staking his own future to fight against evil forces.

Otherwise, these black sheep like Yu Guodong would not have been caught so quickly. This Lin Zifeng was definitely a promising talent, and he suggested that Li Xinzhang pay more attention to him in the future.

The reason Jiang Shiyu did this was, firstly, to thank Lin Zifeng for protecting Jiang Yufei and safely bringing his daughter back.

Secondly, he had noticed some signs in his precious daughter, so it could be considered as making some preparations in advance.

Naturally, Li Xinzhang did not dare to neglect the hint from his direct superior.

So as soon as he got to work today, he called Qian Dagang to inquire about the detailed information regarding Lin Zifeng.

Finally, he added: "This young Cadre is not bad."

Only then did Qian Dagang have many speculations about the relationship between Lin Zifeng and Li Xinzhang, and after some imagination, his attitude towards Lin Zifeng changed drastically, leading him to say those words.
