In the small conference room, several city leaders in charge of personnel, including Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zhou Lichang, Mayor Yang Zixuan, Municipal Party Committee Deputy Secretary Wei Zhengfeng, Organization Minister Mu Ying, and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Wu Tingfa, sat in rows.

This kind of discussion meeting is not very formal to begin with.

But anyone familiar with the system knows that the more informal the meeting, the more hidden dangers it has and the more important it is.

On the contrary, those formal meetings in the official publicity are all arranged in rows, and the results are divided. The backstage has basically been negotiated. It is less important for everyone to follow the formalities and procedures.

Wei Zhengfeng sat down with Yang Zixuan and did not deliberately distance himself from him.

Occasionally, his eyes collided with Yang Zixuan's, but they looked at each other calmly.

The other members of the Standing Committee and deputy secretaries sat down in order. When Mu Ying moved around, she nodded slightly with Yang Zixuan.

Through Yang Zixuan's matchmaking, Mu Ying has established a relationship with Wen Youliang. Now to a certain extent, Mu Ying is considered to be Wen Youliang's online person.

In contrast, Wu Tingfa, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, did not dare to look at Yang Zixuan. He once fought side by side with Yang Zixuan's camp, but after all, he and Yang Zixuan could not be "of the same mind." This time, he did nothing about Bao Hao's matter.

Yang Zixuan can understand his approach. A heavyweight standing committee member of the Municipal Party Committee like Wu Tingfa has his own independent interests and is not so easy to conquer.

But Wu Tingfa had a knot in his heart. He was sure that Yang Zixuan would definitely give him some trouble. He would avoid Mayor Yang if he could.

Zhou Lichang finally walked into the conference hall slowly, exchanged a few simple greetings, and said, "I'm going to announce to you today to study a few things. For various reasons, there is still a shortage of candidates for some key positions in the city. The city

If all work is to be carried out normally, some positions must be enriched. For example, the financial system must do a good job in budget execution.

, fund allocation work requires a good leader, and the finance director has been vacant for many days. In addition, the municipal party committee is also short of a secretary-general, and the candidate for the secretary-general has been in the process of being considered for a long time. The long-term vacancy of this position has seriously affected the municipal party committee.

Operational efficiency. These are the objective reasons why we need to carefully study candidates today."

All the secretaries of the Standing Committee here are silent. It is obvious that today's meeting, which is not a high-level meeting, will have an impact on the political structure of Guangling to a certain extent.

The finance director is in charge of the city's purse. Will it continue to be in the hands of the mayor, or will the secretary take over? This will affect the say of Guangling's two squad leaders in the city government.

Whether the candidate for the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee can be recognized by many members of the Standing Committee and whether he can handle the relationship well with the Standing Committee members will also profoundly affect the operational efficiency of the Municipal Party Committee.

After all, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee is almost the closest comrade of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary’s Standing Committee.

Everyone keeps their eyes open. Who will Zhou Lichang choose to be the new steward of the municipal party committee?

Moreover, the predecessor Fei Tong was eliminated sadly. I believe Zhou Lichang will be more cautious in selecting new secretary-general candidates.

Yang Zixuan drank tea silently without saying anything. His eyes fell on Mu Ying, full of questions.

There was no serious communication with him about the candidate for the Finance Director before.

Looking at the innocent look Mu Ying looked at him, Yang Zixuan knew that Mu Ying had only just now learned that the candidates for the Finance Bureau would be discussed - and was suddenly shot again.

This Zhou Lichang still remains stubborn.

Zhou Lichang was drinking tea calmly, and he could see Mu Ying flipping through his notebook, with a smile on his lips. He had thrown out the research on the candidate for the Financial Secretary on a temporary basis.

He noticed that Mu Ying and Yang Zixuan seemed to have some abnormal interactions.

I raise this question temporarily because I want to test whether there is really a sexual relationship between Mu Ying and Yang Zixuan? Of course, it also has a deeper strategic purpose.

Yang Zixuan drank tea quietly, and his mood seemed not to be affected.

Zhou Lichang thought to himself, you two are not mentally prepared, right?

Zhou Lichang said, "How about we do a preliminary study on the candidate for the director of finance?"

Yang Zixuan suddenly said, "Comrade Lichang, I have not yet received the accurate list of candidates from the Organization Department. I have only received candidates for positions that the organization proposed to adjust and supplement a long time ago. Can we discuss the candidate for Secretary-General first? This Organization Department is planning to study

We have been working on it for quite some time, and I believe we have already reached a consensus and it will be easier to discuss it, right?"

This proposal is reasonable.

Zhou Lichang waved his hand and said without rejecting, "Comrade Zixuan's proposal is good. Let's talk about the secretary-general first. Comrade Mu Ying first talk about the candidates nominated by the Organization Department."

Yang Zixuan was puzzled when Zhou Lichang came up and made it clear that he wanted to study the candidate for the director of finance. This was a show of force.

Now they agree to move the spearhead away first. Why is this?

You must know that the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee is involved in a wide range of things. Zhou Lichang will definitely need to compromise in some aspects with some opposing Standing Committee members.

If we discuss the Secretary-General first, then Zhou Lichang must compromise first.

Let’s discuss the Finance Director first. Even if the candidate nominated by Yang Zixuan can be passed, then the situation will be reversed. Yang Zixuan will first have to compromise in certain aspects.

Whoever compromises first will be passive.

Yang Zixuan's mind was racing, and when he saw Zhou Lichang's face with a smile, he suddenly understood - that's right, Zhou Lichang had never thought about studying the candidate for the director of finance today, and proposed to study the candidate for the director of finance. It was just a false move.

The effect of this false move was to make him, Yang Zixuan, compromise on the candidate for Secretary-General.

If you want to suppress the discussion on the selection of Secretary-General of Finance, you must agree with my selection of Secretary-General, and I will give you this face.

After figuring out the key, Yang Zixuan became calm and relaxed again.

Whether it is a standing committee meeting or a closed-door discussion in a dark room, the art of compromise and balance can be seen everywhere.

Yang Zixuan put down the tea cup. Zhou Lichang is indeed a master of balance and compromise.

To be fair, Yang Zixuan has encountered many leaders, but among the municipal leaders he has encountered, the one who is most proficient in the art of balance and compromise is Secretary Zhou in front of him.

From him, Yang Zixuan also learned a lot about the art of compromise.

Mu Ying stood up and distributed a list of candidates to everyone present and the standing committee members related to personnel.

Do not dare to leave the distribution work in the hands of the staff, otherwise the sharp-eyed staff may end up talking nonsense.

Mu Ying read some of the candidates. Yang Zixuan frowned. This candidate was not much different from not being selected. The organization department did not do much filtering and selected all the senior-level candidates who were of the right age and qualified, such as Song Jingcong, Yang Fo, and Lu Youdao.

, Li Enguo, Jin Mulin, Zhu Zichang, Pan Chen, Huang Yudong and other department-level cadres have all filled in.

When Yang Zixuan got the distribution list, he knew that it was probably a list submitted by the organization. Zhou Lichang was not very satisfied with it, so he made things difficult for the organization department. Zhou Lichang did not give the organization department a recommended list, and the communication between the two parties was not smooth. The final result was

, the Organization Department selected all possible candidates. Zhou Lichang agreed to discuss the list without saying anything.

Mu Ying was actually puzzled. Among the so many senior-level candidates, there must be someone Zhou Lichang prefers, but he really couldn't tell which one it was.

In the past, Zhou Lichang would clearly point out the candidates, perhaps because he had experienced the dismal departure of Fei Tong. Fei Tong was the secretary-general named by Zhou Lichang, but it ended in disgrace. Although he left in the name of going to sea, although he left Zhou Lichang

It won't hurt his muscles and bones, but it will also affect the provincial party committee's evaluation of him.

This is a sign of unclear understanding of people.

Therefore, Zhou Lichang hopes to reduce the risk of being labeled as a "one-note speaker" through this so-called informal collective discussion.

Under the constraints of Yang Zixuan, after suffering many big losses, the squad leader became more and more adaptable to the new rules and new methods brought by Yang Zixuan. He no longer showed his power as nakedly as before, but learned to pass some

A subtle operation to cover up the behavior of "abusing power for personal gain".

Yang Zixuan drank tea and smiled. He was satisfied to have such an influence on Guangling. He did not expect that with his current position and ability, and such a big environment, he could rectify the atmosphere of Guangling's officialdom.

However, being able to lead these people to gradually stop "abusing power for personal gains" and to take advantage of loopholes to achieve their own goals while complying with the law and party rules can be regarded as a different kind of progress.

Zhou Lichang first started by saying that Comrade Li Enguo was not bad. He was an old Jiangling secretary with many years of experience. He had a firm political stance, strong principles and strong work ability.

The candidates put forward first are often not what Zhou Lichang really wants.

Wu Tingfa didn't know if he had any grudges with Li Enguo or was worried about something. He immediately said that Li Enguo was a bit older. He had been the top leader in the county for a long time and his job was decision-making and decision-making. He might not be able to adapt to the job requirements of a secretary-general.

Execution work that is more meticulous and more intensive.

Soon two other people jumped out to object.

Yang Zixuan touched his nose. It seemed that Li Enguo's popularity in the city was really not very good. Not many people spoke to him. It seemed that Li Enguo was really what Li Huan said. He had no background. He was able to work as a secretary in Jiangling in his early years only because of his strength.

The power of the old leaders in the province. Once the old leaders withdrew, the city took a dark look and failed to re-establish new relations.

Originally, with his position and ability as secretary of the Jiangling District Party Committee, he should be able to find a new backer in the city. According to Li Huan, Li Enguo was a bit aloof in his early years. He could not let go of his airs and lose face. He still wanted to develop connections in the province.

I didn't look down on the bunch of rubes in Guangling City. As a result, my relationship with some leaders in the city was not settled well, and my investment in the province was all in vain, so I ended up where I am today.

Yang Zixuan smiled again and said, "It seems that everyone thinks that Comrade Li Enguo is more suitable for decision-making work and not suitable for executive work."

Mu Ying suddenly jumped out to flatter Yang Zixuan, "Mayor Zixuan's words are still so precise. When it comes to organizing talent work, talents can also be divided into decision-making talents and executive talents."

Several other members of the Standing Committee were stunned at first. Why is this Mu Ying facing Yang Zixuan?

Is it possible that Mu Ying and Yang Zixuan are also related?

Yang Zixuan smiled after hearing this and lowered his head to drink tea. It seemed that Mu Ying had firmly grasped Wen Youliang's line, otherwise it would not have been possible to publicly show support for him like this.

Zhou Lichang's expression changed, and he also lowered his head to drink tea. He had long suspected that Yang Zixuan and Mu Ying were having an affair. Mu Ying had always been quite ambitious. It seemed that Yang Zixuan had used some resources to connect her. Now he doesn't even think about it.

I'm not sure what trump card this mayor has.

He was really helpless about Mu Ying's defection. After all, he still had to communicate with Mu Ying. He could only choose to turn a blind eye to this matter.

Even if Mu Ying changes sides, it is unlikely that he will completely offend his secretary.

But Wei Zhengfeng's face turned ugly.

When he was attacking Yang Zixuan's back garden, the Public Security Bureau, they also ransacked his back garden.

Yang Zixuan will definitely further erode his personnel rights through remote control of Mu Ying.

Wei Zhengfeng looked at Yang Zixuan's leisurely face while sipping tea. He was filled with emotions. Is it really the only way to go? Not willing to give up? That figure came to mind again, and Wei Zhengfeng sighed.

Wu Tingfa also wanted to ease the relationship with Yang Zixuan, saying, "It is true that some cadres are good at implementing policies and have strong ability to promote work, but they are not good at making decisions and do not have a strong overall view and vision. Some cadres have a strong overall view and vision when making decisions.

He is extremely wise, but at the execution level, he has too much ambition and too little power. He cannot advance the work at all. No matter how good the decision-making is, it is just talk on paper."
