127: Chapter 127 Cui Mingyuan transferred from the Personnel Bureau

After the appointments from the County Organization Department were issued, County Head Feng Yubin called Sun Ning and spoke about convening an expanded meeting of the County Government Party Group.

Sun Ning asked him to postpone it.

This really wasn't Sun Ning putting on airs.

An expanded meeting of the County Government Party Group is generally only convened for major events, important matters, or specialized economic meetings.

Sun Ning understood County Head Feng Yubin's intention; the Government Service Hall was a major matter, so an expanded meeting of the County Government Party Group would certainly need to be convened to discuss it.

However, the timing wasn't right yet, so Sun Ning didn't want to disturb everyone.

That was why Sun Ning went to visit County Head Feng Yubin at the County Government alone.

Of course, after coming this time, Sun Ning didn't plan on returning in the afternoon.

County Head Feng Yubin would certainly convene a County Mayor's office meeting in the afternoon to introduce Sun Ning.

Sun Ning was also prepared to get to know his colleagues at the County Government.

In fact, whether Sun Ning liked it or not, the moment he was appointed as Assistant County Mayor, he had already entered the inner circle of Gongfan County politics.

Since it was just a courtesy visit to pay respects, Sun Ning and County Head Feng Yubin had a good talk in the morning.

Of course, the topic certainly had to involve the Government Service Hall.

After all, this matter was Sun Ning's only area of responsibility.

"Comrade Sun Ning, you can go take a look at the construction site. It really changes every day. Right now, the site is working in three shifts; the people rest, but the machines don't."

"Oh, then I should indeed go take a look. Perhaps this project will even be a miracle for our Gongfan County."

In truth, Sun Ning was not surprised.

The matter of the Government Service Hall had been single-handedly brought about by Zheng Zhanzhong.

It was currently the biggest matter in Gongfan County, viewed by everyone from top to bottom as a political task.

From project initiation to approval to construction, this project had been given the green light all the way.

As for saying some procedures couldn't be completed in time?

Well, sorry, just build first, and the paperwork can be filed later.

Doing it this way certainly didn't conform to procedure.

But no one was going to be pedantic about it, right?

The priority now was to rush the project to completion to be prepared for any contingencies.

Truth be told, Zheng Zhanzhong was racing against time with the people from the Central Government inspection team.

It was just a matter of whether Gongfan County finished construction first, or if the inspection team arrived sooner.

Otherwise, you really couldn't use the crude appearance of Mishui Township to put on a display.

Furthermore, setting up a Government Service Hall in a single township was a bit of a waste.

As for why Mishui Township had one?

That was because their industry and commerce were developed, so it was a temporary setup.

Everyone understood this logic, and now they were all pushing at full throttle to speed up progress.

Especially County Head Feng Yubin; if this matter was handled well, it would be a highlight for the government side.

Of course, Secretary Wang Shengli's gains would only be more than his.

As for Sun Ning, he just smiled and said nothing.

You people can fight over it all you want; the name of the originator is Sun Ning.

Sun Ning grabbed a casual lunch with Secretary Li Chengping next to the government compound.

"Cui Mingyuan has been transferred to the Bureau of Religious Affairs!"

Secretary Li Chengping's sudden remark left Sun Ning confused.

At the same time, did he also feel a little guilty?

Was it that his intention to take revenge couldn't be hidden?

"What do you mean by that?"

"Aren't you interested in him? You've asked me about him several times. Have you taken a liking to his beautiful daughter? I've heard she's single now!"

What is all this about?

Sun Ning had indeed asked Secretary Li Chengping about Cui Mingyuan a few times.

It was just that sometimes Sun Ning couldn't help it; he was afraid that the matter involving Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi would implicate Cui Mingyuan.

Deep down, Sun Ning wanted to deal with Cui Mingyuan himself.

Therefore, he had asked Secretary Li Chengping a few times.

How did it turn into him having designs on Cui Hongyi in Secretary Li Chengping's words?

He swore he had never once mentioned Cui Mingyuan's family affairs.

Looking at the smirking Secretary Li Chengping, Sun Ning said with dissatisfaction: "Stop messing around, I have a girlfriend."

In reality, Secretary Li Chengping couldn't understand why Sun Ning was so concerned about Cui Mingyuan.

Thinking it over, he just felt that Cui Mingyuan's biggest advantage was that his daughter was pretty.

And that was that.

Because Cui Mingyuan had nearly become in-laws with Vice-County Mayor Pi Yingshi.

Plus, with Vice Mayor Wang Pingan being promoted to the city, his days in Gongfan County were becoming increasingly difficult.

This personnel adjustment had transferred him from the Personnel Bureau to the Bureau of Religious Affairs.

Gongfan County didn't have a famous temple, nor did it have a profitable chairman.

Therefore, the gold content of the Director of the Bureau of Religious Affairs was worlds apart compared to his previous post.

The Bureau of Religious Affairs in Gongfan County was just a dead-end office.

Given Cui Mingyuan's opportunistic nature, he was probably incredibly depressed.

Who knows who this guy is trying to sell his daughter to lately?

Sun Ning didn't want to continue this topic, so he asked casually: "Don't you have any thoughts, my friend?"

"When you're in the world of politics, you can't always do as you please!"

"That just means the leader still wants to cultivate you for another two years; when the time is right, you'll be given an important role!"

"To be honest, seeing your achievements, I also want to go down to the grassroots to see. I was already inferior to you, and in the future, I'll be left even further behind."

"Hey, you guys who follow the leaders are actually easier to promote. Don't worry; didn't you just secure your regular section-level rank? Wait until things are stable before coming down."

The two chatted idly.

What Secretary Li Chengping was talking about was the current situation of secretaries.

After following a leader, not only is your time not your own, but your work isn't your own either.

How could he not want to go down to the grassroots and become a 'feudal lord' in his own right?

Unfortunately, this personnel adjustment had nothing to do with him.

And he couldn't go beg Secretary Wang Shengli.

What? Your wings have hardened? You don't want to follow me anymore?

If he could, Secretary Li Chengping really wanted to say: Whoever wants to do this job of serving others can do it; I'm done.

But thinking about how he got his position, he gave up on that thought.

In reality, this was just a matter of comparison.

Comparing himself to Sun Ning, no matter how he looked at it, he felt stifled.

However, his own speed of promotion in Gongfan County was also unique.

A regular section-level cadre in his early thirties; there weren't many in the entire Gongfan County.

Sun Ning couldn't help but think of a quote he really liked: The scenery we often see is a person always looking up to and envying others' happiness.

Turning around, one discovers they are being looked up to and envied themselves.

In fact, everyone is happy.

It's just that your happiness is often in the eyes of others.

The two didn't chat much more about this topic.

They started chatting about other personnel issues.

Overall, Secretary Wang Shengli hadn't hogged all the benefits; instead, he had started a "share the spoils" approach.

His doing this was also a reflection of political wisdom, eliminating the influence of his predecessor while also uniting the majority of leading cadres.

The County Mayor's office meeting in the afternoon was convened smoothly.

During the meeting, County Head Feng Yubin directly pointed out that Sun Ning had come to handle the matter of the Government Service Hall.

He told all the Vice-County Mayors to cooperate fully.

These Vice-County Mayors almost all patted their chests, guaranteeing that their respective departments would cooperate fully.

This was the benefit of holding the Shangfang Sword.

There was no need for discussion or compromise; he could issue administrative orders directly.

Even if there were people with individual ideas, they only dared to pull some small stunts.

The afternoon meeting ended early. The next two days were the weekend, so Sun Ning didn't rush back to Mishui Township.

Wang Ling found out the news that he had come to the county seat and insisted on treating Sun Ning to a meal, saying she wanted the leader to personally taste her cooking.

There were too many people at the farewell banquet last time; she probably had a lot left unsaid.

Sun Ning also wanted to get closer to her, so he readily agreed.
