At the beginning of the meeting, the two deputy mayors reported on their work. Both of them prepared written report materials in advance and read them out according to the script. Most of the other leaders flipped through the materials and drew on them with pens from time to time. The conference room seemed It was very quiet, with only the sound of straight words and no emotion. Zhou Jing quickly adapted to it, holding a signature pen and drawing wavy lines on the material.
The contents of the two reports were discussed at previous meetings and fully integrated the opinions of all parties. Therefore, when Mayor Yao Shengli solicited everyone's opinions, there was no objection and the report was passed smoothly. Of the two reports, the most worthy of discussion Jing noted that Xiling City will increase its investment in education next year by 7%. He agrees that investing in education means investing in the future.
The next step is to discuss the issue of personnel appointments. This is a very sensitive issue and has always been a barometer for observing the direction of officialdom. If politics is a profound knowledge that requires subtle art and complex operations, then in personnel matters In terms of layout, it can fully reflect the superb political wisdom. The government has always had limited influence in personnel arrangements, but the right to make suggestions is also very important. If there is no stalemate with the party committee, the candidates discussed and approved here will be on the Standing Committee. At the meeting, it is usually not easily rejected.
Of course, this is only limited to general cadres. If the position is crucial, it depends on the outcome of the discussion at the Standing Committee. On the Standing Committee, the general government only has two or three candidates, so it is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. , except when encountering a particularly strong second-in-command, the secretary usually has the advantage. After all, the party manages people and the government manages affairs. In a sense, it has become an unquestionable consensus, and Xiling is not the same. Exceptionally, when discussing personnel issues, the atmosphere in the conference room became a little dull.
The first two positions were okay. After discussion, a consensus was easily reached. However, serious differences arose at the meeting regarding the selection of the third candidate. For the position of the Municipal Justice Bureau, there were three candidates. There was controversy in this position. It was so big that several deputy mayors participated in the debate and expressed their opinions. As a result, in the early discussions, one candidate with whom everyone had strong opinions was eliminated.
Cui Zhenguo, the executive deputy mayor, is leaning toward a candidate who once served as county magistrate in the lower county. Her name is Pan Shuxian. She is a tough-minded lesbian who served as county magistrate for six years and was transferred to the city last year. The CPPCC serves as the vice chairman of the CPPCC and concurrently serves as the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. There is another cadre within the Justice Bureau named Cen Siqi. He has worked in the Justice Bureau for four years. From the position of director of the Justice Bureau¡¯s law firm, I have been working as deputy director, and now I am still acting as the director. I am very skilled in the business.
The venue was basically divided into two groups. One group had a small number of people but a loud voice, and firmly supported Executive Vice Mayor Cui Zhenguo. The other group had an advantage in numbers, but on this issue, they did not behave as well as the other group. So sharp, Zhou Jing has discovered some characteristics through observation. The people sitting next to Cui Zhenguo are also very close to him. They all have certain tendencies in their speeches, while the deputy mayors on the other side The mayor, including Secretary-General Lu Hengsheng, all sided with Mayor Yao Shengli.
The positions of the two sides were almost clear-cut, and they were clearly divided into two camps. Zhou Jing was actually sitting close to Cui Zhenguo. Although he was far back, it still made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he took out his notebook and wrote on it with a pen. It was written casually, but my ears were quietly pricked up. Listening to the arguments on both sides, one of the deputy mayors said: "From a work perspective, I prefer Director Cen. After all, he was trained within the Justice Bureau. There are no problems with cadres, business and personnel, and they have withstood the test.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted: "Then you mean that Comrade Pan Shuxian is not good at her business? She used to work in the Procuratorate, and her work was outstanding. She was advanced year after year. She was not inferior to others in business, and she also served as the county magistrate for six years. Chief, will such cadres have any problems in their work? As for some of the problems that were reported in the past, the Discipline Inspection Commission has found out and restored Comrade Pan Shuxian's reputation. Even Secretary Ye of the Municipal Party Committee has said in public that Comrade Pan Shuxian has a firm stance and has no You¡¯ve made serious mistakes, so why should you doubt it?¡±
The man from before was very unhappy after hearing this, and raised his voice and said: "Please note that I do not doubt Comrade Pan Shuxian's innocence. That is under the control of the organization. I am just saying that after all, she has been working in the county for a long time. When she goes to the city, It hasn't been long, and it's hard to say whether he can be qualified for the job of the Justice Bureau. What's more, Lao Cen has done a good job in the Justice Bureau for the past six months and has a good reputation. It's unreasonable not to become a regular employee."
"Whether he has a good reputation or not, it doesn't matter what you say or what I say. It depends on the reaction of the people!" The person who spoke this time was Cui Zhenguo, the executive deputy mayor. He had been drinking tea with his head down and rarely participated directly. In the debate, this time he seized on the loopholes and took the initiative. His tone was cold and calm: "To say that you are not qualified for the work in the city after you have been in the county for a long time. I say this is a big paradox. Everyone here , there isWhat about those of you who have never worked in the county? I've worked in the town before, but now I'm the deputy mayor? "
The man from before looked slightly embarrassed, picked up the cup angrily, and put it down heavily. However, he did not dare to directly contradict Cui Zhenguo. Instead, he softened his tone and said as euphemistically as possible: "Mayor Zhenguo, I didn't mean that. It's you who misunderstood."
Cui Zhenguo smiled and continued: "I understand that there is no problem. In fact, these two people are very good. No matter which one takes this position, there is no big problem. But now there is a lot of controversy. Should I put it aside for now? Let¡¯s discuss it later?¡±
Mayor Yao Shengli spoke and said calmly: "Comrade Zhenguo, this candidate can't be delayed any longer. The municipal party committee is urging us to submit the quota, so I just held the meeting in advance. Logically speaking, it should have been decided long ago. , it¡¯s just that you were on a business trip for half a month and was delayed.¡±
Cui Zhenguo frowned slightly, took the tea, and pondered for a long time before saying: "The controversy is relatively big, and there is no unified opinion. It is useless if they press. If it doesn't work, let's ask Secretary Ye to make the decision. He is the squad leader, and he will leave it to him." It would be more appropriate to make a final decision.¡±
After the words, the office fell into silence for a while. People on both sides became quiet. Many people lowered their heads to drink tea or turned their eyes to Mayor Yao Shengli. Depending on his performance, Cui Zhenguo's move was actually very powerful, so he retreated. In order to advance, there is a suspicion of forcing the palace.
Yao Shengli frowned and remained silent. In fact, the reason why this quota could be discussed was because of the compromise result of a discussion on personnel issues at the last Standing Committee meeting. At that time, he supported Secretary Ye of the Municipal Party Committee in exchange for this bargaining chip. , so if the government can discuss and pass it, basically the Standing Committee can also pass it. But the problem is that Cui Zhenguo suddenly jumps out to disrupt the situation, and the situation becomes complicated.
He didn't know whether Cui Zhenguo did this intentionally, using this personnel issue to challenge himself and challenge his authority, or whether Lao Cui was particularly concerned about the position of director of the Justice Bureau and wanted to push Pan Shuxian to it. In short, , the argument this time seemed a bit abrupt, which made him a little unprepared. He originally thought that there would be resistance, but he didn't expect it to be so big and intense.
Slowly turning the tea cup, his eyes swept over everyone's faces. Yao Shengli did not say a word, but his expression became more and more solemn. People who knew him well knew that this was the mayor's edge of explosion. His character was like a lion, and his appearance was No provocation was allowed. However, what was surprising was that Yao Shengli was uncharacteristically calm this time. After a long while, he said lightly: "Secretary-General, what do you think?"
In the debate just now, Lu Hengsheng had been very low-key, even a little negative. After hearing these words, he knew that the mayor was dissatisfied with him. He turned sideways, looked at the air conditioner in the corner, and said in a deep voice: "In I support Comrade Cen Siqi in the selection of the director of justice. I have dealt with this person and I feel that he is a very decent person and upright, so I can rest assured. As for Comrade Pan Shuxian, I don¡¯t know her well, so it is not convenient to evaluate her. My personal opinion is for your reference only.¡±
Cui Zhenguo became very annoyed after hearing this. He pushed the tea cup forward, stared into Lu Hengsheng's eyes, and said word by word: "Secretary-General, isn't it? I remember when Comrade Pan Shuxian was working in Lianshui, we went to inspect two places together. This time, you were full of praise for the work there, and you praised and affirmed Comrade Pan Shuxian in front of everyone, how could you not understand it well?"
Lu Hengsheng looked at the sky and said coldly: "Mayor Zhenguo, I'm sorry, I have too many things to do here. I'm so busy every day that I hit the back of my head and can't remember those trivial matters. Some time ago, she called and said she was coming to my house. I felt the visit was inappropriate and declined.¡±
After hearing this, Cui Zhenguo's expression changed slightly, but he did not have a fit. Instead, he lit a cigarette, turned his gaze to Yao Shengli, and said in a calm tone: "Mayor Shengli, since there is no way to unify the opinions, just report the two of them to come up. No matter what, the position of the director of the Justice Bureau is also very important, and it must be discussed at the Standing Committee before it can be passed. It is useless for us to shout at our throats here, we still have to break through the barriers."
"Okay, then I'll sign two people up." Yao Shengli glanced at him and finally made a compromise. Although his tone was very relaxed, his heart was extremely heavy, because signing two people up to the Standing Committee meant that something had changed. What's more, if Cui Zhenguo can quarrel with him here and go to the Standing Committee, he will naturally not sit on the sidelines. At that time, if other Standing Committee members see that the two leaders of the government are not united and have a falling out in public, then The nature is serious, and the negative impact caused cannot be compensated by one position.
Although he really didn't want that situation to happen, in fact, he had no way out. In such a heated argument, neither of them had any other choice, and there was even no stairs to go down. In the past, this was It was extremely rare that Yao Shengli felt that things might have changed, or that Cui Zhenguo had found strong support without knowing it and started to attack him.?, or he accidentally pushed him into a corner and had to become even tougher. This needs to be seriously considered.
