70: Chapter 70 Personnel Changes in Mishui Township

Increasing the number of Township Party Committee members was work under the jurisdiction of the Organization Department.

Although, according to the rules, such matters still needed to be reported to the Deputy Secretary in charge of Party-mass work and the County Party Committee Secretary.

However, this was just a small matter of reporting and approval, and there wouldn't be any waves in the process.

As for getting Organization Department Head He Wenqiang to support his nominations, he didn't decline.

However, Sun Ning wouldn't set him up for a fall.

He told him very bluntly that Secretary Wang Shengli would support this matter!

Sun Ning was just stating the ugly truth upfront.

As the Organization Department Head, Organization Department Head He Wenqiang was naturally under the leadership of the County Party Committee.

Sun Ning telling him that Secretary Wang Shengli would support his nominations was also to inform him of the situation in advance, to avoid any accidental collateral damage during the Standing Committee meeting.

In fact, for general personnel arrangements, the three-person leadership group at the Party Secretary's office meeting would decide it.

Then, just announcing it at the Standing Committee meeting would suffice.

However, the number of people involved in this adjustment in Mishui Township was too large.

And since it was because of corruption investigations, such matters usually went to the Standing Committee for criticism and self-criticism first.

Unknowingly, the weather was getting colder and colder, and 2005 was about to come to an end.

In a small meeting room within the Gongfan County Party Committee and County Government compound.

Two minutes before the nine o'clock Standing Committee meeting, Secretary Wang Shengli appeared before everyone, beaming with radiant health.

He chuckled as he handed out cigarettes to the Standing Committee members present, chatting with them from time to time.

Secretary Li Chengping followed closely behind, carrying a teacup and a notebook.

After setting down the teacup and notebook, he walked out of the meeting room and went to the small room next door to smoke with the secretaries.

At nine o'clock sharp, Vice Mayor Wang Pingan arrived at the meeting room, accompanied by Huang Weimin.

The face of this smiling tiger was, as usual, smiling at everyone.

As if everything was under his control.

But his true feelings and thoughts were unknown!

There weren't many topics on today's agenda; the main one was discussing the personnel issues resulting from the Pi Xiangyang incident.

The formation of this agenda item was a natural progression, and was also facilitated by Organization Department Head He Wenqiang.

Originally, according to Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's wishes, they were to wait until the Gongfan County leadership team was fully staffed before discussing the personnel configuration for Mishui Township.

However, he couldn't withstand the constant urging from Mishui Township, and Organization Department Head He Wenqiang also went with the flow to report to Vice Mayor Wang Pingan.

Of course, as the Organization Department Head, Organization Department Head He Wenqiang had his own effective ways of working.

For every position, he had set up two to three candidates.

This, for a time, kept Vice Mayor Wang Pingan from having too many suspicions.

Sun Ning, far away in Mishui Township, also knew about this Standing Committee meeting.

He had also canceled an itinerary this morning, sitting calmly in his office waiting for the result.

Sun Ning was a bit worried that his intentions wouldn't be realized.

If the county leaders took this opportunity to forcefully arrange for some people to come to Mishui Township to pad their resumes.

Then the work in Mishui Township might stagnate, and none of this was what Sun Ning wanted.

He just wanted a smooth handover of power and wanted the development of Mishui Township to continue as it was.

The meeting ended around eleven o'clock, and at eleven-twenty, Sun Ning received a call from Secretary Wang Shengli.

"Sun Ning, it's settled. The changes in Mishui Township this time are quite significant, but most of the established goals have been achieved."

Through Secretary Wang Shengli's phone call, Sun Ning learned that this Standing Committee meeting hadn't been very calm either.

Although the positions arranged this time didn't include any primary heads or overly important roles.

But Vice Mayor Wang Pingan still attached great importance to it.

He had previously suffered a defeat and hoped to use this Standing Committee meeting to realize his absolute authority in the county.

It started with the arrangements for several deputy positions in the County Bureau.

There wasn't really anything to fight over regarding these positions, but Vice Mayor Wang Pingan displayed a strong side and took them all.

Just when Vice Mayor Wang Pingan was feeling complacent, the personnel arrangements for Mishui Township began.

The first was the arrangement for Li Shuli to be transferred to the Agriculture Bureau as Deputy Director.

Although the Agriculture Bureau of Gongfan County didn't have as high a status as those in the plains of eastern Heyang, it was still a major bureau.

When Organization Department Head He Wenqiang read out this arrangement, Department Head Shen of the Armed Forces Department was the first to support it.

Department Head Shen Guangyao of the Armed Forces Department was usually just a voting machine.

Usually at meetings, besides supporting the County Party Committee arrangements that had already reached a consensus, he would just cast an abstention vote.

Both the County Party Committee and the County Government were trying their best to win this vote.

So after Shen Guangyao supported it first, unsurprisingly, the personnel arrangement for Li Shuli was passed unanimously.

The County Bureau job that Li Shuli had been fighting for for so many years was passed just like that, so easily.

However, after this matter, the connections that Secretary Xue Hongtao had hidden for so many years would be dug up by interested parties.

After all, there are no secrets in officialdom.

What really caused waves were the appointments of Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian and Vice Township Head Wang Penghui.

The appointment of Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian made Vice Mayor Wang Pingan realize something.

He didn't have too many thoughts on Secretary Wang Shengli supporting Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian, and it was understandable that Tian Xiaojun supported Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian.

But the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary, who had always supported him, and Shen Guangyao, who had always cast abstention votes, actually cast votes in support.

This matter made Vice Mayor Wang Pingan vigilant.

At the same time, a bad premonition arose in his mind; Shen Guangyao's behavior today was unusually abnormal.

But, he had to follow along and support the appointment of Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian.

When it came to Vice Township Head Wang Penghui, Vice Mayor Wang Pingan prepared to strike first.

Unfortunately, he couldn't withstand the fact that the majority of people supported Vice Township Head Wang Penghui.

Not until Secretary Wang Shengli hung up the phone did Sun Ning breathe a sigh of relief and walk out of his office.

In the afternoon, Sun Ning lost no time in calling Vice Township Head Wang Penghui and Wang Ling over for a meeting.

It was almost the end of the year, and various meetings and year-end summaries in the county were increasing.

Sun Ning had to put most of his energy there.

So he called these two over to set their minds at ease.

When the two heard that the Standing Committee had already passed their appointments, both were overjoyed.

Before, when the Organization Department came to inspect them, they knew they were on that candidate list and were already very excited, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.

They didn't have a very powerful backer in the county and were unaware of the situation in the county.

Now that they had received the notification from Sun Ning, the two finally let go of their hanging hearts.

Soon, the appointment came from the Organization Department.

Bringing with it three unfamiliar faces as well.

One was to take over the disciplinary inspection work from Deputy Secretary Cui Xiaotian.

The other two were the newly appointed Deputy Township Heads.

With the arrival of the new Deputy Township Heads, Sun Ning did not exclude them and re-divided the work.

Of course, the key work of Mishui Township was still handed over to Vice Township Head Wang Penghui and Wang Ling.

Organization Department Head He Wenqiang also introduced the backgrounds of the two new Deputy Township Heads to Sun Ning in detail.

One was the son of a certain bureau director in the city, who came to gild his resume.

The other was a cadre from a certain section of the County Party Committee.

After Sun Ning found out, he didn't take it to heart.

As long as the two of them worked honestly, Sun Ning would also put them to good use.

Year-end work is always like this, busy and complicated.

Unknowingly, the Spring Festival was approaching.

Even the busy, high-pressure atmosphere of Mishui Township was diluted quite a bit.
