62: Personnel decisions by show of hands (Part 2)

Wan Guoliang announced the result of the vote for Zhang Zhenhua, and then continued, "Now, all Comrades who agree to appoint Comrade Lin Zifeng as the Party Secretary of Heping Town, please raise your hands."

Zhang Yuhan was the first to raise her hand, followed closely by Zou Dekai, and Zhao Delin also immediately raised his hand.

Seeing Zhao Delin, the Secretary-General of the County Party Committee, raise his hand, everyone was stunned. As the chief housekeeper for the County Party Secretary, Zhao Delin was Wan Guoliang's weathervane.

Therefore, Zhao Delin raising his hand made Wan Guoliang's intention very clear.

Secretary Li Minghao was the fourth to raise his hand. Just as Qian Dagang was about to raise his hand to show support, Xu Yanjun unexpectedly raised his hand before him.

Seeing that Xu Yanjun also cast a vote in favor, Wan Guoliang's eyes narrowed, but he immediately relaxed.

He guessed the intention of his Deputy Secretary: this was a move to settle for the next best thing!

This Xu Yanjun really changed his tune quickly, but that was fine. Since his own intentions were realized, the rest was not so important anymore.

Thinking this, he flashed a slight smile at Xu Yanjun.

Qian Dagang also raised his hand. Subsequently, everyone except Xu Minghao and Zhou Xiong raised their hands and voted in favor. Wan Guoliang was the last one to raise his hand.

Finally, he announced, "Comrade Lin Zifeng has been approved with nine votes in favor, one against, and one abstention, and is appointed as the Party Secretary of Heping Town."

Zhou Xiong, the Minister of the People's Armed Forces Department, still cast an abstention vote.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanjun spoke up, "Secretary, Comrade Lin Zifeng has transferred from Town Mayor to Secretary of Heping Town.

In that case, the position of Heping Town Mayor is vacant. Let's use this opportunity during the Standing Committee meeting to decide on the candidate for the Heping Town Mayor!

Otherwise, a town lacking a Primary Official for a long time will affect Heping Town's work.

We happen to have suitable candidates available right now, so why don't we continue the discussion and deliberation?"

"Secretary Xu's Proposal is very appropriate, I think it's highly suitable. What do the rest of you think?"

Wan Guoliang nodded and said.

"I support Secretary Xu's Proposal." Qian Dagang expressed his support.

Since the Three Giants of The County Seat had reached a consensus, what opinions could anyone else possibly have?

Therefore, a new round of voting by a show of hands began. The candidates were still Wei Ting and Zhang Zhenhua.

Unsurprisingly, Wei Ting defeated Zhang Zhenhua, which also meant that the support Xu Yanjun received exceeded that of Xu Minghao.

Xu Yanjun managed to save face and gain something; after all, Wei Ting was promoted from deputy section level to Section Chief level, taking a big step forward. He had also fulfilled his obligation to his old subordinate.

Only Xu Minghao gained nothing, and his expression was somewhat unpleasant.

The candidate he nominated not only failed to compete for the Secretary position but also lost the competition for Town Mayor.

This was also a silent blow to his prestige and reputation.

After Wan Guoliang announced the results, Zou Dekai continued, "Secretary, Standing Committee Members, Heping Town still has a vacant Deputy Secretary position.

The two candidates drafted by our Organization Department are Comrade Liu Fa, the Deputy Town Mayor of Yushu Town, and Comrade Qin Xiao, the Deputy Township Head of Xiayushu Township.

This is for the reference of the Secretary and all Standing Committee Members."

Hearing what Zou Dekai said, Xu Minghao opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

The Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission transferring to Deputy Secretary was a small step forward, but he was afraid Zhang Zhenhua would lose again, which would make him even more humiliated.

So he suppressed the thought that arose in his heart and remained silent.

After two more rounds of voting, Qin Xiao finally won and became the Deputy Secretary of Heping Town.

Next, the Standing Committee began to discuss personnel adjustments in other township.

The personnel adjustments in the other township were minor. The meeting lasted until noon before concluding. Some were happy, some were worried, and everyone left the conference room in small groups.

Soon, Lin Zifeng received a call from the County Party Committee Office, asking him to arrive at the County Party Committee before 2 p.m. to undergo an interview with the Organization Department.

Lin Zifeng, who was eating lunch, felt very surprised but still sped up his meal.

He didn't think about anything else. Due to the limited time, after eating lunch, he got into Li Qiang's car and, accompanied by Wang Zhongyu, headed straight for The County Seat.

When he sat in front of Zou Dekai and heard the other party say that his appointment as the Party Secretary of Heping Town had been approved by the Standing Committee, he could hardly believe his ears.

He had never thought he would be nominated as a candidate, let alone stand out and pass the Standing Committee's appointment.

Therefore, while his heart was violently shaken, he was also ecstatic.

Which person on the Official Career Path doesn't wish to advance? Lin Zifeng was no exception.

His face flushed slightly before he quickly calmed himself down, suppressing his excitement as he said, "Thank you for the organization's trust, and thank you, Minister, for the recommendation. I will definitely continue to work hard in the future and will never fail the trust of you and the other leaders."

"Zifeng, I really think highly of you, young man. Your success in the Standing Committee this time is inseparable from the leaders' trust and your own efforts.

I hope you will guard against arrogance and impatience, maintain your current work style, and keep your pioneering spirit. I believe a bigger stage awaits you in the future."

Zou Dekai said with a kind smile.

Lin Zifeng quickly expressed his thanks. Half an hour later, he left Zou Dekai's office and walked into the County Committee Compound. He felt that the sunlight was brighter than before, and the air was fresher.

Lin Zifeng took some time to calm his excited feelings before walking toward Wan Guoliang's office.

A few minutes later, he was sitting face-to-face with Wan Guoliang on the office sofa.

After some routine conversation, Wan Guoliang continued, "Secretary Zifeng, although transferring from Town Mayor to Secretary involves no change in rank, the Secretary is responsible for the overall work of a town and is the head of the leadership team.

In your future work, you must not only maintain a pioneering work spirit but also possess a Broad Perspective and the ability to coordinate the overall situation.

This will be a great test for you.

Your age and experience are your biggest shortcomings.

Therefore, in your future work, you must seek the opinions of the Leadership Team Members more often, unite them, and leverage the power of collective wisdom so that you can grow quickly in complex work situations."

"I respectfully follow your teachings, Secretary. I will bear your words in mind and thoroughly implement them in my work."

Lin Zifeng quickly replied.

Wan Guoliang nodded with satisfaction, picked up the Proposal placed aside, and said with a smile, "Zifeng, I have carefully reviewed the tourism development Proposal prepared by your town.

I think this Proposal you prepared is excellent. The data is solid, the development projects are integrated with the actual location, and the image and text structure is detailed, making it highly feasible.

I had the office make a copy and sent one over to County Mayor Dagang.

I also discussed this Proposal with County Mayor Dagang. County Mayor Dagang's opinion is the same as mine; he is very optimistic about this tourism development project."

Wan Guoliang gave their tourism development plan a high evaluation.
