Director No. 2 returned to the capital and reported to Director No. 1 the earthquake relief situation in Dali Prefecture. He specifically mentioned Duan Zetao and lamented: "Duan Zetao is really a talented person of the country. Some of our comrades like to listen to partial beliefs and do not have the actual situation." After understanding the situation, we only listen to the reports of the cadres below and draw conclusions. This is not a pragmatic attitude. "If you don't attract people's attention, you are mediocre. The outside world calls Duan Zetao the "most controversial governor". This just shows that Duan Zetao is capable. How can you do your job without offending others,".
The No. 1 leader pointed at the No. 2 leader with his finger, and said with a smile: "Comrade **, you can also protect a baby. Why, Duan Zetao is not in a mood to become the secretary of the Nanyun Provincial Party Committee, so he is crying to you ".
The No. 2 leader shook his head and said seriously: "No, Duan Zetao didn't mention that he didn't become the secretary of the Nanyun Provincial Party Committee at all. I didn't see any disappointment on his face. He was still so motivated. Otherwise, this time The Lizhou earthquake rescue was not so fast and efficient. The death toll from the 6.5-magnitude earthquake was controlled within 500, and the victims were resettled in an orderly manner. This can not but be said to be a miracle. It also shows that Duan Zetao has truly grown up and is fully equipped with unique skills. The ability to block one side".
"I don't deny that I'm a protector of children. I watched Duan Zetao grow up, and I recommended him to be included in the Red Successor Plan A. I think I have some discernment in looking at people. I should not have made any mistakes. I selected talents for the country. , Isn¡¯t it also our important responsibility to promote talents for the country? We should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Besides, Duan Zetao and I have no biological relationship. If such an outstanding cadre is left unused, it will be a loss for the country and the party"
Chief No. 1 stood up from his seat, picked up a work report from the Central Organization Department on the table and handed it to Chief No. 2. He smiled and said: "Comrade **, I naturally trust your vision of people and think Duan Zetao is good. You are not the only one. This is a work report just sent by the Organization Department of the Central Committee. Comrade Shi Liang, Secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Zheng Duanfeng, Secretary of the Xijiang Provincial Party Committee, and Comrade Wei Changzheng, Secretary of the Xishan Provincial Party Committee, have all completed their two terms. Some were about to be transferred to the central government, and some were almost old enough to take a back seat. When the Organization Department of the Central Committee asked them for successors, they all unanimously recommended Duan Zetao to the organization"
"Coupled with Comrade Xie Chunming, the former Secretary of the Nanyun Provincial Party Committee, this is the fourth provincial Party committee leader to recommend Duan Zetao to the central government to take over as Provincial Party Secretary. It seems that Duan Zetao's popularity is really good. What I have a headache about now is not using Not Duan Zetao, but how to use it and where to use it to better play its role"
Head No. 2 took the Central Organization Department report materials handed over by Head No. 1 and looked at them carefully. He laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect that this guy Duan Zetao has now become a fragrant steamed bun. He is scrambling for it everywhere. I recommend him." Some of the four provincial party committee secretaries are his old superiors, and some are squad leaders who work with him. This speaks volumes. Didn¡¯t some people say before that Duan Zetao is arrogant, arrogant, and does not pay attention to the unity of the leadership team? If Duan Zetao is really like As they said, will they still win the recommendation of these old superiors and old partners? It seems to me that the cadres who made the snitches have their own problems"
Chief No. 1 waved his hand and said with a smile: "The fingers on the palm of one hand are not evenly aligned. If all the cadres below are like Duan Zetao, we will save our worries. We will not discuss this issue for now. Let's discuss where Duan Zetao will be appointed as a province. Regarding the issue of party secretary, the Nanyun Provincial Central Committee has just sent Comrade Qin Jiguang to serve as provincial party secretary. It is not suitable to change it for the time being, so we will not consider it. The other three places are all places where Duan Zetao once worked, and the situations are also different. What do you think? Duan Zetao knows better. Where is the most suitable place for Duan Zetao to serve as secretary of the provincial party committee and where he can best play his role"
The No. 2 leader thought carefully and considered: "These three provinces are all places where Duan Zetao once served. He has a better understanding of the situation and the situation of the cadres. He should be able to adapt quickly and open up the situation once he goes there, but he needs to The most suitable one I think it is Jiangnan Province. Firstly, Duan Zetao has worked in Jiangnan Province the longest and is from Jiangnan Province. He is the most familiar with the situation and can easily control the situation. Secondly, we also need to consider the issue of team matching. Xijiang The provincial governor and the governor of Xishan Province were all airborne from the central government not long ago. When the central government considers the matching of provincial-level leadership teams, it usually uses a local cadre to match a central airborne cadre. In this way, the local cadres are managed. It is easier to coordinate at that time, and if two central airborne cadres are used to form a team at the same time, the local local cadres will inevitably have the idea that the central government is biased against the local cadres in the provinces to which they belong"
"In contrast, although Duan Zetao was transferred to Jiangnan Province, after all, he is from Jiangnan Province and grew up in Jiangnan Province. It is reasonable to say that he is a local cadre of Jiangnan Province. In addition, regarding the central government's dispatch to Jiangnan Province a year ago, I also heard some reactions about Comrade Zeng Qisheng, who served as the governor, saying that he was too strong and that even Comrade Shi Liang could not suppress him. The local cadres in Jiangnan reacted more strongly. In comparison, Duan Zetao is relatively experienced in this aspect.Test".
Chief No. 1 nodded and said: "I have also heard some feedback about Comrade Zeng Qisheng. Comrade Zeng Qisheng has been working in the central ministries and commissions. Although he had a short period of local work experience, he still has less experience in grassroots work. He may be a little too eager. I wish you could, but both Duan Zetao and Zeng Qisheng are young cadres and are known for their tough styles. I'm afraid that if these two tigers get into a fight, there will be no peace in Jiangnan Province"
The No. 2 leader chuckled and said: "The best way to make a tiger obedient is to send a more powerful tiger. If you send a sheep, wouldn't it mean sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth? Moreover, since Duan Zetao and Comrade Changzheng and Comrade Chunming before Judging from the leadership situation, he is relatively politically intelligent and should be able to handle this issue better"
Chief No. 1 waved his hand vigorously and said: "You are right, let Duan Zetao go to Jiangnan Province as the Provincial Party Committee Secretary. I will call Minister Li from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Let's sum it up again. If he is no different, If you have any opinions, please go to the Standing Committee for discussion"
Minister Li of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also had a good impression of Duan Zetao. Naturally, he would not have any objections to Duan Zetao being appointed as secretary of the provincial party committee in Jiangnan Province. However, he raised a concern. When the candidate for secretary of the Nanyun Provincial Party Committee was discussed last time, several political officials The Standing Committee members put forward different views on Duan Zetao and were worried that he would still fail when it came to the Standing Committee for discussion.
