261: Chapter 261 Leaving Wanshun County

Qin Chuan expressed his thanks, "Thank you, Secretary Kang."

Secretary Kang Kewu nodded slightly, then asked with a solemn face, "Comrade Qin Chuan, after you leave, do you have any recommendations or suggestions for the candidate for Wanshun County's Secretary?"

After he left, who would serve as the County Party Secretary?

Qin Chuan had thought about this question repeatedly and seriously on the way here. Naturally, he did not want someone to be parachuted in from above, but rather hoped for a promotion from within the County Party Committee leadership team.

In order for Wanshun County to continue developing according to the route he had set without changing, Qin Chuan had already thought of a successor.

"Secretary Kang, if I were to recommend someone, Comrade County Mayor Sheng Huaian is quite good and is the best candidate to serve as Wanshun County's Secretary. Additionally, the organization could consider having Comrade Director Hu Bing serve as the County Mayor. In this way, Wanshun County can develop even better."

Almost without thinking, Secretary Kang Kewu readily and clearly agreed, "Mhm, your opinion is very good. The Municipal Party Committee will adopt your suggestion."

He was the Municipal Party Secretary, the top leader, and he currently strictly controlled the Municipal Standing Committee. If he said it would be adopted, then there would be no problem with the Standing Committee passing it.

"Thank you, Secretary Kang," Qin Chuan expressed his gratitude.

Sitting on the sofa in the Municipal Party Secretary's office, Qin Chuan and Secretary Kang Kewu talked for at least an hour. The two had a very deep and detailed discussion regarding Wanshun County's leadership adjustments, future economic development routes, and so on.

As the Municipal Party Secretary, Secretary Kang was very busy. During their conversation, people came by from time to time to report on work.

Among them was the Municipal Finance Bureau Director, but they were all blocked by the Municipal Party Committees first secretary.

The Finance Bureau Director had important work to report. After being blocked, he did not leave but sat down in the nearby lounge and waited.

After waiting for a full hour, he began to lose his patience, thinking to himself, who is in the Secretary's office? Does reporting work have to take this long?

Likely because the wait was a bit long, he felt slightly dissatisfied and harbored some resentment.

"Secretary Zhao, who is this? Why hasn't the report finished yet?"

The Municipal Party Committees first secretary reminded him, "Director Zhang, that is Secretary Qin from Wanshun County. He is talking about work matters with the Boss. Please wait a little longer patiently."

Hearing it was Qin Chuan, Director Zhang immediately lost all his temper.

After talking for a full hour, Qin Chuan finally left the Municipal Party Secretary's office and returned to Wanshun County. Just a few minutes after he sat down in his office, the County Party Committee Deputy Secretary, Director Hu Bing, knocked and entered.

He had heard the news and, besides being surprised, felt a bit reluctant.

"Secretary, I heard you are leaving. Is it true? The comrades are all reluctant to see you go."

"Yes, I will work until the end of the year, and then I will leave our Wanshun County."

Upon receiving confirmation, Director Hu Bing showed clear reluctance. "Secretary, can't you lead us for another year or two to build our Wanshun County even better?"

Qin Chuan looked troubled. "I'm afraid not, Old Hu. Wanshun County will be left to you all in the future. I recommended you to Secretary Kang to serve as the County Mayor. The burden on your shoulders will be heavy."

"What!"

Stunned for a moment, Director Hu Bing became a bit excited. He was actually going to serve as the County Mayor—this was the position of County Mayor!

Coming back to his senses, Director Hu Bing was full of gratitude. "Thank you, thank you for your trust, Secretary. I will definitely take over this baton well and continue according to the current model and development route, letting our Wanshun County reach a new level."

"Good, good," Qin Chuan nodded with satisfaction. "If you think that way, then I am very relieved."

Next, regarding the future development and construction of Wanshun County, Qin Chuan spoke about some of his suggestions. Director Hu Bing took a notebook and recorded them one by one.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and County Mayor Sheng Huaian knocked and entered. He had also heard the news.

Seeing County Mayor Sheng Huaian enter, Director Hu Bing immediately stood up to leave, even though he had originally wanted to ask for more advice.

After Director Hu Bing left, County Mayor Sheng Huaian said, "Secretary, I heard you are being promoted. Congratulations, congratulations."

Qin Chuan smiled. "I wouldn't call it a promotion. After the Lunar New Year, I am going to the Central Party School to study, and I will also leave Wanshun County before the end of the year."

"Secretary, going to the Central Party School to study is something many people envy. According to convention, after studying, one is usually promoted by the organization. Congratulations in advance."

After the two chatted for a bit, Qin Chuan spoke about the candidate for the future County Party Secretary. "Comrade Huaian, I am leaving Wanshun County, and this heavy burden will be handed over to you. I recommended to the organization that you serve as the County Party Secretary, and Secretary Kang explicitly agreed."

A surprise!

A huge surprise!

County Mayor Sheng Huaian was a bit apprehensive, thinking that after Qin Chuan left, the position of County Party Secretary might not necessarily be his because he did not have a strong enough background.

For a good position like this, as long as one stayed for a year or two, even if they did nothing, they would achieve great results because the foundation had been laid very solidly, and Wanshun County's development was unstoppable.

Once Secretary Qin left, there would surely be many people from above eyeing this position. He had not expected that he could actually step up and take the seat of County Party Secretary.

Hurriedly suppressing his excitement, County Mayor Sheng Huaian said, "Secretary Qin, words cannot express such great kindness. Just watch my actions. If there is anything in the future, just give the word, and I, Sheng Huaian, will surely go through fire and water."

Having this attitude was very good.

Qin Chuan nodded approvingly, and then the two sat together and talked deeply, with the intention of handing over duties, because at most, there were only a dozen or so working days left.

After County Mayor Sheng Huaian left, for two or three days in a row, Qin Chuan's office was very busy. People who had heard the news came to report on work or offer congratulations.

The phone also almost never stopped. Whether it was from Ningzhou City or the province, leaders all called to inquire, congratulate, and so on.

Qin Chuan also held several meetings in a row. In addition to a series of personnel adjustments and arrangements, he also made arrangements and handovers for some affairs.

Time soon reached the end of the year. In two more days, it would be the Lunar New Year. Starting tomorrow, the County Party Committee and County Government would officially be on holiday.

Everything that should be arranged was arranged, and all handovers were completed. Early in the morning, Qin Chuan took Zhu Qingxi and had breakfast early, preparing to return to the Capital as soon as possible.

Outside the Wanshun Hotel, an ordinary SUV was ready. He did not use the County Party Committee's No. 1 car. After all, he had already stepped down. The official documents had come out a few days ago, and now Qin Chuan was no longer the Wanshun County Party Secretary.

The one driving was Driver.

He said that since he had driven for Secretary Qin for so long, today, he would drive for Qin Chuan one last time, personally driving him to the Provincial Capital Airport.

It was only past seven in the morning when Qin Chuan went out, ready to get in the car.

Only...

Just as he walked out of the Wanshun County Hotel's gate and before he could get in the car, Qin Chuan was stunned.

Zhu Qingxi was the same, staring blankly at everything outside.
