Chapter 118: Unfamiliar with Him

  As his parents had arrived in Ziwei City, Chen Jun returned to his new home that night and did not stay in his room.

  Liu Siyuan was worried about this major personnel change, and wondered if there were any other hidden problems in the town.

  The next morning, he rushed back to the town and, as expected, the entire party and government office was in chaos.

  The notice from the county committee shocked everyone, and surprisingly adjusted the work of both the second and third in command at the same time.

  Many people are discussing, Wu Weiqiang, the mayor of Wuzhou, has been transferred to the county economic development zone management committee as a full-time deputy director, with no change in rank. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad luck. Bai Changjiang is 100% promoted, not only solving the problem of being at the department level, but also serving as the mayor of Chengguan Town, where the county government is located. This position is obviously more important than that of an ordinary township mayor, and is in charge of the entire urban area of the county.

  Plus, being able to work in the county town is also a great convenience. Many people know that his wife has been looking forward to working in the county town all along.

  This time, Ma Feng did not rush past Bai Changjiang, the latter successfully became the first person to enter Liu Siyuan's office to report on his work early that morning.

  Bai Changjiang was extremely excited, and in his words, he thanked Liu Siyuan a thousand times, repeatedly expressing his loyalty. Liu Siyuan then pretended to be serious and said a few encouraging words, saying that the new position would allow him to work under the eyes of all county leaders, and even more so, he had to take it one step at a time and do his job solidly.

  To be honest, he is ten years younger than Bai Changjiang, but with such an air of guidance, it's a bit out of place. However, the latter thought it was only natural and accepted his education very sincerely and respectfully.

  After Bai Changjiang left, Ma Feng finally came in with a flattering face. He first said a few words of praise and then mentioned that after Wu Zhenchang and Bai Shuji left, two positions were vacant and the work was a bit tricky. He hoped that the leaders would discuss with the county party committee organization department to quickly determine the successor, so that the work could be smoothly handed over.

  Before leaving, he suddenly mentioned that Deputy Mayor Jin Hai Xin had gone to the county early in the morning for activities, seemingly eyeing the position of Town Mayor. Liu Siyuan nodded to indicate that he knew, but did not express an opinion.

  Ma Feng also proposed to hold a farewell party to bid farewell to Director Wu and Secretary Bai. Liu Siyuan immediately nodded in agreement, saying: "Whether it's Director Wu or Secretary Bai, they have made outstanding contributions to our Beixi Town, and we should give them a good sendoff. The specifications cannot be low, and the main leaders of the town party committee and government must attend. Let's trouble Director Ma to make specific arrangements."

  Ma Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Liu, I'll definitely get this done."

  Like a revolving lantern, Ma Feng's front foot had just left, and Du Hang pushed the door in again. This time his backer Wang Tingxiang was completely defeated at the Standing Committee meeting, so that the position of Deputy Director of the Management Committee he had aimed at also disappeared. After entering, his expression was slightly awkward, this time he heard that Secretary Liu did not stand in the same trench as his backer County Magistrate Wang.

  His intuition told him that Wang County's defeat at the Standing Committee meeting would not only render all his previous efforts useless, but more importantly, because he was not in the same camp as the top leader, he would likely face difficulties in his future days in Beixi Town.

  Therefore, as an organizational committee member, Du Hang had a strong sense of crisis. If he lost Liu Siyuan's support, he was afraid that he would also lose his right to speak on the issue of recognition.

  He first nervously reported some personnel issues in the town, now that Wu Weiqiang is about to be transferred and will not be able to speak on personnel issues. As for Bai Changjiang, he will definitely follow Liu Secretary's pace, and other town committee members are also intimidated by his power and will not have any opposing opinions. Therefore, some personnel issues in the town have almost become Liu Sihuan's one-man show. After finishing speaking, he carefully looked at Liu Sihuan, waiting to see how he would respond.

  Actually, Du Hang was a bit too worried. Liu Siyuan didn't have any special thoughts about him either. It's understandable that comrades want to make progress, but he simply didn't have the heart to suppress Du Hang. He just wouldn't reuse him since he knew he was Wang Tingxiang's man.

  He carefully looked at Du Hang's documents, which were some personnel adjustments that had been discussed before. The only one that was slightly interesting was the nomination of Zhao Guozheng as deputy director of the Party and Government Office. This proposal was newly added, obviously to please him.

  Liu Siyuan thought that since Du Hang had this intention, he also accepted it with a smile, and said: "I have read Comrade Du's proposal, which is still relatively in line with reality. In principle, I have no opinion and can pass it at the next town committee meeting."

  After Du Hang left, Liu Siyuan deliberated for a moment before making a phone call to Jian Zhiqiu. On the phone, he poured out his grievances, saying that now both deputy secretaries of the town committee have been transferred away, and the work has suddenly become complicated, with him being both father and mother, busy to the point of being overwhelmed, hoping that the county committee can confirm the personnel as soon as possible so that the work can be carried out more smoothly.

  Jian Zhiqiu comforted him over the phone and casually asked if he had any good candidates for the town mayor and deputy secretary of the town party committee.

  Liu Siyuan considered the meeting and then made a statement. As for the candidate for town mayor, he himself had no particular thoughts, but only hoped that the county party committee could arrange a capable comrade to come to Beixi and form a team with him. Regarding the deputy secretary of the party committee, there was a small suggestion: Comrade Ma Feng, director of the Party and Government Office, has worked in Beixi Town for many years and has a good reputation among the masses. It is more suitable for Comrade Ma Feng to continue serving as Deputy Secretary of Beixi Town responsible for party affairs work.

  Liu Siyuan's words were well-measured and in line with his identity, because generally speaking, as the first-in-command, it is not appropriate to express too many opinions on the two deputy secretary candidates who are working with him. This is a taboo in official circles. However, since Liu Siyuan has been promoted to county committee member and is different from ordinary town committee secretaries, it is also acceptable for him as a county leader to express some ideas on the position of deputy secretary.

  Jian Zhiqiu expressed on the phone that he would seriously consider his proposal, and he would go to urge the Organization Department to implement the personnel configuration of Beixi Town as soon as possible, and also convey Comrade Liu Siyuan's opinions to the Organization Department for reference.

  After hanging up the phone, Liu Siyuan felt relieved. Having a backer was indeed comfortable and reassuring. He could just express his ideas to him, and not worry about the specific operations. Later on, he would only need to raise his hand at the Standing Committee meeting.

  That afternoon, the county party committee organization department minister Liu Deyuan called him and said that he was seeking his opinion on the position of Beixi Town Mayor and Deputy Secretary. This was the first time Minister Liu had sought his opinion on personnel matters, so Liu Siyuan also repeated what he had said to Jian Zhiqiu that morning, and Minister Liu didn't say anything, just saying "I know".

  Liu Siyuan thought he should hang up the phone, but unexpectedly Liu Dayuan suddenly asked: "Secretary Siyuan, you and Secretary Gao of the Political and Legal Committee are both cadres from the provincial capital. Shouldn't you have known each other before?"

  Liu Siyuan was taken aback, not understanding what was meant, and said: "Director Liu, your words are incorrect. The provincial capital is vast, with millions of civil servants, and Zheng Secretary and I don't really know each other."

  Liu Dayuan mysteriously chuckled on the phone and didn't continue asking questions, politely said a sentence before hanging up.
