With the successive downfalls of Zhu Minwen and Tang Yifu, the original political structure of Qingyuan City has been completely broken. The smooth rise to power of Ye Qingping and Jian Ruoming made Qingyuan City completely within the sphere of influence of Lin Guodong's faction. If Chu Tianshu were to be appointed to the municipal leadership team again, Yi Haitao would be suspected of nepotism. Cadres in other areas would be suspicious of his new appointment. The deputy governor will naturally and unnaturally have doubts about whether he should work for him. In addition, Chu Tianshu has always been a controversial figure. In terms of his evaluation, the official and the public have also formed two completely different opinions. In the "hidden rules" of today's officialdom, controversies over a leading cadre often affect promotion and employment. However, for Chu Tianshu, it is not an economic problem, nor a problem of corruption, bribery, or corruption in life, but a matter of radical reform for him. There are different opinions on the means and achievements achieved. Just as some people say that he is a "cruel official", some say that he is a "blue sky"; some say that he "engages in political performance projects", and some say that he "subverts the development ideas of the traditional economy"; some angrily accuse him of being "nonsense", and some encourage him. He "tried boldly." Once, when Governor Qiao Mingsong and Yi Haitao were talking about Chu Tianshu, Governor Qiao repeatedly emphasized the need to unequivocally support reformers, protect explorers, help innovators, and praise meritorious people. At first, Yi Haitao thought this It was a hint to reuse Chu Tianshu. Unexpectedly, at the end of the conversation, Governor Qiao mentioned that Chu Tianshu is still young and is a young cadre we focus on training. He needs to be trained in more positions to benefit his career. Continue to mature and grow. Qiao Mingsong's last words reminded Yi Haitao: On the issue of promoting the use of Chu Tianshu, the main leaders of the provincial party committee still have differences. They cannot lose the trust of the superiors and subordinates just because they take care of Chu Tianshu. , this is a political emotional impulse, immature, and the gain outweighs the loss. In the three-legged political framework of Southeast Province, the leg of He Tianying's Discipline Inspection Commission is basically lame, while the leg of Lin Guodong's organization faction is much thicker. Only the leg of Qiao Mingsong's local faction is neither thick nor thin. Ding is a little tilted in the direction of Lin Guodong's organizational faction. In the officialdom, the distribution of interests must take into account all aspects. It is unrealistic for big and small to take it all, and it is impossible for one family to dominate. This is the logic of balance in officialdom. After much thought, Yi Haitao came up with an expedient. He still recommended Chu Tianshu as the candidate for deputy mayor. He would wait until the wind was clear before making a decision. If the wind was wrong when the plan was reported, he would retreat. The next best thing is to let Chu Tianshu serve as a "bad match". After losing the election, he will be transferred to the director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, paving the way for him to enter the next municipal leadership team. When the government changes, the mayor election is an equal election, and there is no suspense at all. The deputy mayor's differential election also has no room for error. You must find a "differential match" in advance. "Poor match" is an informal term in the officialdom, referring to a differential election. The supporting role is, to put it bluntly, just a supporting role. Although the "poor match" is just a show, the selection is very particular. The first is to find someone who is honest and responsible. If he loses the election, he will be assigned a seat in the National People's Congress and the CPPCC. Although it is not as good as being elected, it is still a shortcut to promotion. At least it is an advantage. The second is to find someone with a bright future. Yes, this term's accompanying selection will be the natural candidate for the next term; in this way, if there is hope for the "bad match", they will be willing to do so. These cannot be put on the table, but everyone understands it tacitly. Anyway, one of the "bad matches" has to be chosen, and Chu Tianshu is a good candidate. Because it was just an undecided expedient, Yi Haitao was not in a hurry to communicate with Ye Qingping and others, and of course he would not tell Chu Tianshu himself. He would only wait for the time to mature before having a face-to-face showdown with him. With the election approaching, rumors and news are flying everywhere. Although opposition forces such as Tang Yifu have been eliminated, it does not mean that there will be no more opposition voices from now on. He Tianying was unscathed and was still a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Wang Zhiyuan held a grudge. His influence among the top leaders in the capital should not be underestimated; no one would be indifferent to the opportunity for promotion. Often in this sensitive period, officialdom There has never been a shortage of undercurrents. There is almost no suspense between the Municipal Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor, so the marginal figure Chu Tianshu naturally becomes the center of the whirlpool where various trends converge. There is no doubt that the people of Nanling County believe that Chu Tianshu is no different from the "honest officials" in history. He is the "Grand Master of the Blue Sky" of the people of Nanling and the great savior who leads people out of poverty and becomes rich. ¡°However, some of Chu Tianshu¡¯s practices in Nanling County have not been widely recognized. For example, he forced cadres who were late for meetings to stand up for meetings, forcibly deducted the wages of government cadres to carry out construction, apportioned donations to county-owned enterprises, sold state-owned and collective assets to the bottom, etc., etc., etc., etc., have been criticized by the outside world and experts. A university scholar simply said that many of Chu Tianshu¡¯s actions are illegal and infringe on human rights. He lacks the concept of legal system and human rights, and his unlimited power makes people scared: he uses this power to do good things, and he is "Bao Qingtian" "; If he is used to do bad things, he may become "Qin Shihuang". This is the tragedy of strongman politics. This phenomenon must be stopped rather than encouraged. Regarding Chu Tianshu's performance in building a model county in Nanling County, cadres from other counties and cities are not convinced. They say that with the support of tens of millions of funds from the province and city, it is natural for him to achieve results, and he will not do it if he fails to achieve results. It is normal and does not reflect one's ability and level. If it had been someone else, they would have been able to achieve the same results, perhaps even better, or it is unknown. Amid various discussions, an inspection team from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee came to Nanling County. The news that Chu Tianshu was to be promoted spread widely. For Chu Tianshu, it was not a matter of whether he could be promoted, but what position he would be promoted to. The question above is whether to join the municipal leadership team of Qingyuan City or to serve in the provincial capital. However, after the inspection team of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee left for more than a month, news came out that was not conducive to Chu Tianshu. It was said that the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee also had two completely different opinions on Chu Tianshu's promotion. Finally, they decided to postpone the promotion. prevailed. The grapevine also said that there was an imperial minister present at the meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee that discussed Chu Tianshu¡¯s promotion, that is, the director of the Central Organization Department responsible for provincial and municipal cadre work. Although this director did not have the right to vote, he was the subject of the meeting. It was entrusted by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to listen to the discussion opinions of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. This director may seem to have a small official position, but his influence is considerable because he can participate in the inspection of provincial-level cadres. There is no way to verify whether the news is true or false, and it is difficult to verify, but Chu Tianshu's problem has been reflected in the above, which is always true. Provincial and municipal leaders have not made clear their attitude. This is also an indisputable fact. Various signs indicate that, Chu Tianshu's promotion was put on hold. Whether the transfer will be filed or not has not yet been decided, but the rumor that Chu Tianshu will leave Nanling County has been widely circulated, and it seems to be a certainty. As the person involved, Chu Tianshu was also in a state of confusion. It is impossible for a person in the officialdom not to be promoted and progress. Chu Tianshu remained calm and composed on weekdays and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction and development of Nanling. But in the dead of night, he could not help but secretly wonder. To this day, he had not received anything from Yi Haitao, Ye Qingping or Jian Ruoming. There is no news or even a private hint. I am afraid that the hope of promotion is really slim. It should be said that Chu Tianshu has been with Yi Haitao for a long time and knows his personality and work style very well, and he can also understand his difficulties. At this time, it is impossible for Yi Haitao to not care about Chu Tianshu at all, but politics is an art of balance. When it comes to provincial cadres, he only has the right to make suggestions and not to make decisions. He has to follow the rules above. Act with intention. As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, and a single move can move the whole body. In this regard, people who care about Chu Tianshu are also very confused. Geng Zhongtian, Fan Yibing, Tong Danyuan and others were in official circles, so it was difficult to ask questions openly, so they still had to discuss things in private, just behind Chu Tianshu's back. Those outside the officialdom can¡¯t help but express their feelings in person. Bai Yunduo once jokingly asked, "You saved Secretary Nan's wife, Secretary Nan must not express anything." Chu Tianshu could only explain with a smile that it was your Professor Huang who saved Secretary Nan¡¯s wife. How can the credit go to me? Besides, Secretary Nan gave Nanling County policy and financial support. This favor Even if I'm still good at it, I can't push it too far, and I have to look forward to Shu. For example, Xiang Wanqing blew the pillow wind on the bedside and said, Lao Chu, I am just wondering, is your uncle really not helping at all? Chu Tianshu stroked her back and comforted her, saying, Wan Qing, my uncle has been engaged in organizational personnel work for a long time. He has always been low-key and cautious, and has very strong principles. If we didn't have this relationship, he might be able to speak up. Xiang Wanqing pouted and said, without our relationship, my uncle would know who Chu Tianshu is. Chu Tianshu said, "So, we have to understand my uncle's difficulties. Besides, my uncle still has a lot of room for promotion. There are many ways he can help me in the future, so why rush now." Xiang Wanqing fell silent. Wu Mengdie didn¡¯t understand either and asked, Tianshu, are you really hopeless this time? Chu Tianshu smiled and said, Sister, didn¡¯t you always tell me that what is yours will never run away, and what is not yours will not be forced to come. Even Wen Jiaqi couldn't understand it anymore and said anxiously, "Xiao Chu, why did I expect you to take a step forward this time? There's still no movement at all." Chu Tianshu teased??, Master, you can¡¯t even calculate it accurately, and I can¡¯t even tell clearly. He talked and laughed. While Chu Tianshu was persuading others, he was also persuading himself. After talking and laughing, his mentality became more and more peaceful. Thinking about it, he was not even thirty years old yet, and there were so many things above him. The care of Yi Haitao and Lin Guodong will definitely be indispensable for future opportunities. There is no need to care about the gains and losses of this moment. Thinking of this, Chu Tianshu felt relieved. He steadily led the people of Nanling on the road to get rid of poverty and become rich. This was the fundamental reason why he took the initiative to come to Nanling.
