84: Chapter 84 Comrade Ma Zhengnan, the organization is giving you more responsibilities.

Ma Zhengnan beamed, as if he had just won the lottery.

"Secretary, I heard that Township Head Chen Qunfeng has been taken away for Shuanggui!"

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, Secretary Zeng Xiguang came personally to initiate the Shuanggui. Township Head Chen Qunfeng's issues are very serious; he will likely spend the rest of his life sewing in prison."

"That's great," Ma Zhengnan said. "This is what I've been hoping to see. I must have a couple of drinks tonight to celebrate."

After happily chatting about Township Head Chen Qunfeng being taken for Shuanggui, Ma Zhengnan left, feeling very satisfied.

Township Head Chen Qunfeng being taken for Shuanggui sent shockwaves through the entire Dahe Township officialdom!

People were discussing it over tea and after meals.

"Township Head Chen Qunfeng hadn't even been in office for a month, and he was taken in before the 'Acting' in 'Acting Township Head' could even be removed. He's set a new record!"

"That guy deserved it. He never did anything good while he was the Director of the Education Bureau!"

"Tell me, now that the position of Township Head is vacant again, who will be the next one?"

"..."

Township Head Chen Qunfeng was taken for Shuanggui in the morning, and by the afternoon, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection had publicly released an investigation report and an official document stating that Qin Chuan had been slandered and framed.

Inside the bulletin board at the entrance of the Dahe Township Government, a document from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection was posted, in black and white, clear and concise, with the bright red seal of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Many people were gathered around to watch, including quite a few farmers who had come to sell yellow peaches.

"I told you! A cadre as good as Secretary Qin Chuan, how could he possibly take kickbacks!"

"So it was Township Head Chen Qunfeng spreading rumors, and he even maliciously reported it anonymously to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. Who else would they arrest if not him!"

"The bad guy has received the punishment he deserved, and the good person is safe. I hope our Dahe Township develops better and better!"

"..."

Even though it was the afternoon, Dahe Township was already very busy, still purchasing yellow peaches, with large trucks fully loaded with crates of yellow peaches leaving one after another.

When Qin Chuan came to inspect the yellow peach purchasing situation, many people took the initiative to greet him, and some even apologized to him.

"Secretary Qin, hello!"

"Secretary Qin, I am truly sorry. When I heard the rumors back then, I actually believed them. I am really a terrible person. I apologize to you!"

"Secretary Qin, I apologize to you. I said some bad things about you at the time; it really was inexcusable!"

Just by coming over to take a walk and check on the yellow peach purchasing situation, quite a few people took the initiative to apologize.

With Township Head Chen Qunfeng taken for Shuanggui, and the investigation document from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection released, the negative impact on Qin Chuan quickly disappeared.

After this incident, Qin Chuan's prestige in Dahe Township seemed to rise even further.

A few days later.

Qin Chuan went to the county to report on his work.

After hearing Qin Chuan's report, County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang took the initiative and said, "Qin Chuan, the position of Township Head in your Dahe Township has been vacant for several days. I am representing the Organization to seek your opinion. Do you have any recommended candidates for Township Head?"

Under normal circumstances, a County Party Secretary would not ask this voluntarily.

But County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang knew Qin Chuan's identity and background, so it was not strange for him to ask this.

As for who would be the next Township Head, Qin Chuan had already considered it.

Even if Secretary Cao had not asked, he would have found a suitable time to recommend a candidate for Dahe Township Head to the County Party Committee.

"Secretary Cao, since you asked, I will speak plainly. I think Comrade Ma Zhengnan is good, and it would be most appropriate for him to serve as the Township Head of Dahe Township."

County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang said, "I know Comrade Ma Zhengnan relatively well; he is indeed a very good comrade. The Organization will fully respect Dahe Township's recommendation."

County Magistrate Zhang Yuansong was also there; he had just listened to Qin Chuan's work report together with County Party Secretary Cao Zhengwang, and he spoke up.

"My opinion is consistent with Secretary Cao's. It is indeed a good choice for Ma Zhengnan to be the Township Head of Dahe Township."

It was rare for the County Party Secretary and the County Magistrate to be in agreement; all of this was entirely because of Qin Chuan.

Since the two main leaders had both said so, the matter was set in stone; there was no turning back.

Qin Chuan said, "Thank you, leaders. We would also like to express our stance here: our Dahe Township will definitely maintain unity within the leadership team and do our utmost to build Dahe Township into an even better place."

Upon returning to Dahe Township, Qin Chuan immediately called Ma Zhengnan over.

He thought the leader wanted to hear about the construction progress of the Jiucailing Coal Mine.

During this period, he had been focusing on following up on the coal mine construction, and the overall progress of the coal mine was very fast. It was currently being built according to the standards of a large coal mine with an annual output of ten million tons.

The selection for some advanced coal mining equipment that needed to be purchased had been completed, and it had entered the procurement stage; the hardware facilities of the coal mine were also being built one after another.

That 2.7-kilometer-long railway section had also completed all construction procedures and would begin construction immediately.

After listening to Ma Zhengnan's report, Qin Chuan offered some praise.

Then, he changed the subject.

"Comrade Ma Zhengnan, your work has been excellent. The Organization is already considering giving you more responsibility, so that your talents and abilities can be better utilized."

What!

Ma Zhengnan was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

After realizing what it meant, he felt a bit excited. Having struggled and climbed in the officialdom for over a dozen years, he was not a novice who didn't understand anything.

Although Qin Chuan had not explicitly stated it, Ma Zhengnan knew that he was going to be the Township Head.

He hurriedly tried to control his excitement and said full of gratitude, "Thank you, thank you, Qin Chuan. I will definitely work hard, live up to Qin Chuan's expectations, and remain closely united around Qin Chuan. Under your leadership, I will build Dahe Township into a famous town in Sanjiang County, and even Dongzhou City."

"Mm, go back to work. I estimate that the Organization will announce your appointment in the next few days."

After Ma Zhengnan left, about twenty or thirty minutes later, a knock was heard at the office door.

The person who pushed the door open was Deputy Township Head Wang Feng.

Seeing him, Qin Chuan was slightly stunned.

The sun must have risen from the west; this guy actually took the initiative to come over. In Qin Chuan's impression, it was rare for him to come over voluntarily even once or twice a month.

It was rumored that he had been running to the county very frequently these past few days, and sometimes he couldn't even be seen all day. What was going on that he would actually come over voluntarily?

With the position of Township Head vacant, Deputy Township Head Wang Feng's heart began to burn with ambition.

He had been in the position of Deputy Township Head for several years and was also a member of the Party Committee, so he considered himself the most likely successor to the Township Head position.

He had been busy campaigning everywhere these past few days, and his figure was always appearing in the offices of county leaders, and even in the leaders' homes.

In particular, he had visited Executive Vice County Magistrate Yu Kenan multiple times.

Deputy Township Head Wang Feng could be considered one of Executive Vice County Magistrate Yu Kenan's people. The night before last, he had even gone to Executive Vice County Magistrate Yu Kenan's home and delivered a full 200,000 in cash.

Executive Vice County Magistrate Yu Kenan had said that he would recommend Deputy Township Head Wang Feng for the position of Township Head of Dahe Township at the Standing Committee meeting. Immediately, Deputy Township Head Wang Feng felt much more at ease.

Feeling that this was not secure enough, he had spent almost the entire day in the county yesterday. Except for the County Party Secretary and the County Magistrate, he had visited all the other county leaders one by one, including the Head of the Organization Department.

He had come to knock on the door voluntarily today, just to gain Qin Chuan's support.

He knew there were some misunderstandings between him and Qin Chuan, but he thought in his heart that these misunderstandings should be solvable.
