After a thorough relaxation, Wang Siyu was physically and mentally happy and looked refreshed. After going to work, he devoted himself to work with full enthusiasm. After a few days, good news came from central China. After a fierce competition, Fang Rujing finally achieved a major victory and became the new deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and acting governor.
As soon as Wang Siyu got the news, he called to express his sincere congratulations. Fang Rujing was also very happy. During the call, he was really grateful to Wang Siyu. As he said, the reason why he could win this time was to ask Huang Lekai to help him, so that he could meet the No. 3 leader as he wished, and changed the other party's view, which was also directly related to it.
Fang Rujing's rise to power is of great significance. Although he is an outstanding figure in local factions and maintains a close relationship with several major factions, relatively speaking, with the personal relationship between the two, the Yu faction will have a great room for cooperation with him in the future. Since there is no significant factional label on him, the role he can play will even surpass that of the bosses in some factions.
Of course, with Yu Shi's secret support, Fang Rujing will also get a lot of benefits, which is a tacit matter between the two parties. Although both of them are deliberately downplaying this interest relationship, no matter what, this is an unavoidable reality.
As for the fallen water, rumors have become more and more, and various rumors are spreading quietly below. Some mayor Tang takes over as the secretary of the municipal party committee, some mayor Chen Qiming takes over as the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Wang Siyu becomes the mayor.
The most outrageous one is that the prince of the He family is also leaving the Development and Reform Commission and coming to Weibei to join in the fun. The four families have to play "mahjong". This version is originally nonsense, but it has the most market and is talked about by taxi drivers.
Two weeks later, the dust settled. At 1:30 in the morning, Luoshui City held a meeting of city-wide leading cadres. On the rostrum surrounded by flowers, more than a dozen major leaders from provinces and cities were sitting upright.
The rostrum was filled with people. Members of the Municipal Party Committee, alternate members, members of the Municipal People's Congress, Municipal Government, Municipal CPPCC leadership team, "two heads" of the judicial and procuratorial areas, political commissar of Luoshui Security District, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, chief party and government positions in districts, counties (cities), party and government positions in municipal units, municipal leading cadres who have not completed retirement procedures, and old comrades who have held positions at the deputy municipal level or above were also invited to attend the meeting.
Provincial Party Secretary Liang Hong arrived at the meeting and announced the decision of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee on the appointment and removal of major leading cadres of Luoshui Municipal Party Committee. Comrade Yin Zhaoqi served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Luoshui Municipal Party Committee, and Comrade Zhao Huaichen no longer served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Weibei Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Luoshui Municipal Party Committee due to health reasons.
Through the microphone, Liang Hongda's vigorous and powerful voice sounded in the venue: "Since the reform and opening up, Luoshui City's economic and social development has always been at the forefront of the province, playing a leading and exemplary role. Especially since the new century, Luoshui Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have held high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, united and led the city's cadres and masses to be politically conscious, take the overall situation into consideration, abide by discipline, perform their duties, work together, strive to maintain the current good situation, maintain a good development momentum, truly reassure the central and provincial party committees and satisfy the people of the city."
At this time, Zhao Huaichen, who presided over the meeting, felt as if he had been overturned with the five flavors. All kinds of tastes came to his heart. It was said that people were different, and officials were very different. At the beginning, he served as the secretary of the Luoshui Municipal Party Committee. At the cadre meeting, only a few familiar members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee attended. At the meeting, the then Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister was entrusted by the Provincial Party Committee to announce the relevant decision, which was incomparable to today's scene.
What frustrated him even more was that the decision to serve as vice governor of southern Fujian Province was also shattered in the final stage. What he needs to do now is to be safe in addition to continuing to do activities. This can be considered shooting himself in the foot. If he had known that this would be the result, it would be better to swallow his anger and spend the last stage of his career under the constraints of Tang Weiguo.
"I miscalculated!" He sighed secretly, sat dejectedly beside him, lowered his head to drink tea, and looked at the agenda of the meeting in front of him in a daze, forcing his spirits to support his weak body. After the news came out, he was really sick this time. He had been in the hospital for a few days and had just gotten a drip in the morning. Even though he sat on the chair, he still had a lot of sweat on his body.
Next, several provincial party committee leaders, Tang Weiguo and Wang Siyu, made enthusiastic speeches one after another, expressing their sincere support for the decisions of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee, and welcome Comrade Yin Zhaoqi to Luoshui to preside over the work. He also believes that members of the Luoshui City team can be closely united and enterprising, and under the leadership of the municipal party committee team with Secretary Yin as the squad leader, they will promote the comprehensive development of various undertakings in Luoshui City.
The speech was interrupted by warm applause from time to time. However, the expressions of the cadres attending the meeting were extremely rich, and the focus of everyone's eyes was on Yin Zhaoqi. This man, who was nearly 50 years old, had a medium figure, fair skin, a national face, bright eyes, and majesty, he saw that he was smart, bold and stylish. In contrast, Mayor Tang, who was originally extraordinary, was somewhat inferior.
After the meeting, that night, members of the Luoshui Municipal Party Committee held a banquet at the Longcheng Hotel to welcome Secretary Yin. All members of the Municipal Party Committee were present and many provincial party committee leaders were invited to attend.
In the luxurious private room, there were cups of wine and laughter, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. However, everyone knew very well that Luoshui's power structure had changed. Perhaps, it would not take long to have a fierce competition.
The Standing Committee members of Luoshui City, including Executive Vice Mayor Shi Chongshan, have been in a very complicated mood. In the past three years, they have formed a strong collective around Tang Weiguo. Even if there are some differences, they are nothing more than internal interest distribution issues, and can be coordinated in private places. From now on, this situation will be gone forever.
To be fair, Tang Weiguo is competent to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, both in terms of personal charm and strong foundation, but the current situation is also obvious. Secretary Liang of the provincial party committee is worried and unsatisfied with the work of Luoshui City, which has attracted extremely strong people. Next, how to choose a position has become a headache for most people.
According to common sense, we should understand the intentions of Secretary Liang of the Provincial Party Committee, but in fact, this choice is not safe. Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty still has important restraining forces in the Provincial Party Committee, just looking at Secretary Liang's age, it is already at the verge of the situation. If there is a turmoil, it will retreat at any time.
Even if you don’t consider this factor and just think about the Li Haochen case, you will know Mayor Tang’s methods. Strong people like Li Zongtang were driven away. No one dared to conclude that Mayor Tang would not turn defeat into victory and become the final winner. After all, after getting along for a long time, they knew best that Tang Weiguo was extremely deep and tough, and it is still difficult to judge who would win.
The next morning, in the office of the Municipal Party Secretary, Yin Zhaoqi sat on the sofa and chatted with Wang Siyu. He laughed constantly. While he was having a happy chat, the phone ringing on the desk rang. Yin Zhaoqi smiled apologetically, walked to the desk, touched the red phone, and after answering, he only 'feeded', and his expression became solemn, and he said respectfully: "Okay, everything is fine, thank the chief for his concern..."
Wang Siyu took a sip of tea, put down the cup, his eyes turned around his back, and fell on the pots of orchids on the balcony. He smiled slightly, lit a cigarette, took a leisurely breath, and let out a faint smoke from his mouth.
If nothing unexpected happens, the person who called No. 5, who is also the most popular figure in the next session, is very likely to reach the top. Of course, this depends on the result of the game within two years. Given the current complex political and economic situation, especially the increasingly fierce dispute between the left and right, any situation is possible.
A few minutes later, Yin Zhaoqi walked back, sat on the wide sofa, looked at Wang Siyu with a smile, and said politely in Mandarin mixed with Jiangnan accent: "Secretary Wang, before coming, Secretary Liang of the Provincial Party Committee had made a heartfelt touch with me and introduced your situation. It is rare to have talent. I just came here and am not familiar with the situation in Luoshui. I hope I can get your support."
Wang Siyu dusted the ashes and said with a relaxed expression: "Secretary Yin, Luoshui's current development momentum is still good, and the team is relatively united. Mayor Tang is very courageous and smart and capable. After you come here, everyone will have more confidence."
Yin Zhaoqi nodded with a smile, but his brows frowned, showing a thoughtful look. After a while, he turned his body and asked with concern: "Secretary Wang, is Mr. Yu in good health now?"
"Fortunately, my body is pretty tough, but I'm old, I'm not energetic, and I'm a little sleepy." Wang Siyu frowned and took a sip of cigarettes, saying, "A person like Yin Zhaoqi has an antenna on his head, and his information is very well-informed. I must have known that Mr. Yu had been hospitalized for a long time, but since the other party did not point it out, he just vaguely passed it over.
Yin Zhaoqi took a sip of tea and said with a solemn expression: "Yu Laode is highly respected and has made outstanding contributions to the domestic reform and opening up cause. He is the humerus of the country and the old leader I, Yin Zhaoqi, admire most in my life. Secretary Wang, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must help you arrange it. I will visit him."
These words were very ordinary and polite words, but after his passionate remarks, they seemed extremely emotional. Wang Siyu was actually infected and was quite tempting.
However, Wang Siyu knew very well. Mr. Yu’s current state was not suitable for seeing the guests again, so he could only say tactfully: “Okay, but the old man repeatedly emphasized that since he retired, he would no longer care about the outside world. Recently, he has been closing the door to thank the guests. After a few days, he will convey Secretary Yin’s greetings in person.”
"That's good." A hint of disappointment flashed in Yin Zhaoqi's eyes, and then he picked up the teacup, changed the topic, and talked about other things.
In the following days, in addition to paying attention to the cadre training of the Party School, Wang Siyu focused his main energy on strengthening public opinion supervision. Under his promotion, the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department and the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department held special meetings to coordinate major media in the province and tilt the focus of the report to people's livelihood.
Wang Siyu also frequently visited provincial and municipal TV stations and major newspapers to conduct investigations, communicated extensively with media reporters, and cheered up. This was originally a very common thing, but in the eyes of many interested people, this move seemed meaningful. It seemed that this successor in the department was deliberately or unintentionally showing the outside world that could not be ignored.
That afternoon, Wang Siyu was rushing to the city party school. He heard a drip sound from his phone. He flipped out the text message, but it was sent by Cheng Gang. The result of the anonymous report letter was found, which was related to Deputy Mayor Zhao Shanquan. This is a bit incomprehensible. Could it be that the other party is holding a grudge just because of the verbal conflict?
