413: Chapter 413 First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee

Qin Chuan was listening to the report from the Linshui County leadership team regarding the industrial ceramics industry.

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, however, felt a bit dejected.

He walked out of the County Party Committee courtyard with his head lowered and his mood very low, his mind occupied with how he could obtain the support of Wandie's family.

Zhao Wandie was the pride of Linshui County.

She was not only beautiful and had a great figure, but her family background was also excellent; her father, Deputy County Mayor Zhao Yuanji, although not a member of the Municipal Standing Committee, was still considered a prominent figure in Linshui County.

Zhao Wandie had an older brother, a deputy section chief at the Tax Bureau, who was very arrogant and pompous in Linshui County, but he also firmly opposed Zhao Wandie's association with Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong.

Both Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong and Zhao Wandie were graduates of Jiangnan University, a prestigious 985 university. The two met in their sophomore year and began a relationship in their junior year.

After graduation, both returned to their hometown, Linshui County. Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong was a civil servant in the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, working as a secretary for the bureau office, while Zhao Wandie was a Chinese teacher at County No. 1 High School.

Since their relationship was discovered by Deputy County Mayor Zhao Yuanji, he had firmly opposed it. Today, he had called Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong over again, scolded him severely, and explicitly stated that unless he died, it was impossible for the two to be together.

Upon returning to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, just as Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong sat down, a short, chubby man waved at him from the doorway. "Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, come here for a moment."

This short, chubby man was no simple person; he was the bureau chief's son. Ever since he had laid eyes on Zhao Wandie, he had become crazily infatuated and had launched various pursuits.

As soon as Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong saw the other person, he understood what was going on. Thinking that this was a large office and it would have a bad influence, he still followed him out.

The two left the office building and stopped in a relatively secluded place. The short, chubby man threatened, "Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, did you treat my words as wind in your ears? I warned you to stay away from Wandie. Otherwise, you won't have a good ending."

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong sneered, "You fat pig, Wandie is my girlfriend. You should take a look at yourself in the mirror—five-foot-three tall, weighing two hundred pounds. Who gave you the courage?"

The short, chubby man was so angry his complexion changed. He was most sensitive about people calling him short or fat. "Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, do you believe I can kill you?"

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong said, "I really don't believe that. This is a society ruled by law. Why don't you try killing me and see."

Seeing that he couldn't get the better of him verbally, the short, chubby man left a few harsh words and walked away angrily.

Watching his back, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong smiled bitterly. It was a case of adding insult to injury; Wandie's father wanted to banish him to the most remote township and let him fend for himself.

The short, chubby man would probably go to his father, the bureau chief. Even if he wasn't banished in the future, he would likely face endless petty obstacles.

But no matter what, he and Wandie were truly in love and could never let go.

In the evening, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong and Zhao Wandie ate together.

Perhaps having learned that her father had sought out Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, and also knowing that the short, chubby man had threatened Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong once again, Zhao Wandie said with great guilt, "Brother Tian, I'm sorry."

"Silly girl, why are you saying sorry?"

Zhao Wandie's eyes were slightly red, and she said emotionally, "Brother Tian, no matter what, I want to be with you, marry you, and have your children."

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong pulled his girlfriend into his arms, and in his heart, he firmly thought once again, I must make a name for myself within the system; I must not let this girl down.

The next morning.

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong did not expect that a call from the Municipal Party Committee Office would come directly to his mobile phone.

"Are you Comrade Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong?"

"Yes, I am Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong."

"Hello, Comrade Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong. Are you free today? Secretary Qin wants to see you."

What!

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong was stunned. He froze for at least two or three seconds, then excitedly replied, "I am free. I can come over right now."

"Good, then come over now. Go directly to the Municipal Party Committee Office. My name is Xiao Liu."

After finishing the call, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong asked for leave and took a taxi directly to the Municipal Party Committee. He arrived around ten o'clock in the morning.

Yesterday, Qin Chuan was in Linshui County for research. He had listened carefully to the report from the Linshui County leadership team, had lunch in Linshui County, and in the afternoon, had gone to inspect the ceramic industrial park, returning to his office only after five o'clock in the afternoon.

Upon returning, besides thinking about the development plan for the ceramic industry in Linshui County, he also used the system to check Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong's information.

He currently did not have a secretary, and at the first sight of Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, he felt that this young man was good. Qin Chuan trusted his sixth sense very much.

After searching through the system and carefully reading Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong's information, he felt even more that this person was good and should be an excellent candidate for a secretary.

Early this morning, he instructed Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun to notify Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong to come over. He wanted to interview him personally, and if he was suitable, he would have Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong become his secretary.

Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun sighed that Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong must have had ancestral smoke rising from his grave to be favored by Secretary Qin.

Secretary Qin was a young Municipal Party Secretary, and his future development was immeasurable. Being able to become his secretary meant his future career path would be smooth sailing.

As a member of the Municipal Standing Committee, Secretary-General, and Office Director, Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun felt a bit envious of Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong. This kid was truly lucky.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Qin Chuan had just sent away an official who had come to report. A knock on the door sounded, and he said loudly, "Come in!"

Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun personally brought Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong in. "Leader, this is Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong."

Facing the Municipal Party Secretary, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong was also very nervous inside, but he remained steady on his face, not letting this nervousness show. He took the initiative to say, "Hello, Secretary Qin, I am Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong."

Qin Chuan nodded approvingly and began to ask Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong some questions.

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong was a bit nervous at first, but gradually he got into the state. His answers were appropriate, his thinking was clear, and he also demonstrated a very high emotional intelligence.

Qin Chuan said with satisfaction, "Xiao Zhang, I am currently lacking a secretary. Are you interested in being my secretary?"

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong was incredibly excited in his heart. This was the Municipal Party Committee's first secretary!

Struggling to calm his excited mood, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong replied loudly, "Secretary Qin, I am willing. Being able to become your secretary is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of. Please rest assured, I will definitely perform my duties diligently."

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Then starting today, you will step into the role. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Secretary-General Tian."

Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun quickly said, "Xiao Zhang, we are all here to serve Secretary Qin. In the future, if there is anything, come directly to me."

Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong said modestly, "Then thank you, Secretary-General. In the future, I ask for your strict requirements and guidance."

Just like that, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong started as Qin Chuan's secretary today. First, Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun took him down to arrange his office, taught him hand-in-hand how to be an excellent secretary, explained some matters, etc. It was estimated that he could officially be on duty in the afternoon.

As for the relevant personnel appointment documents, they would be issued to all districts, counties, and bureau units by tomorrow morning at the latest.
