Officialdom is like a game of chess. Both parties feel that they have the wisdom and endless back-ups.
But only after the wrestling on the chessboard begins, can each other see who is higher and who is lower.
Guo Yang is a good chess player, and can even be called a master in some aspects of planning.
It's a pity that he met someone who knew him well. All his intentions, calculations, and even the chess pieces in his hand were clearly seen by Liu Fusheng.
In fact, in a sense, Guo Yang was the one who taught Liu Fusheng how to use "conspiracy"!
Therefore, when facing Guo Yang, Liu Fusheng did not dare to take it lightly at all. Every time he made a move, he was cautious. Even, for the sake of safety, he deliberately concealed his edge and let Li Wenbo become the one in front.
…
Now, Guo Yang still doesn't know that he has entered Liu Fusheng's rhythm!
When the Standing Committee meeting of Liaonan City was held again, Guo Yang indeed proposed that Liu Fusheng should be included in the candidate list for county party secretary.
Li Wenbo firmly opposed this, changed his usual amiability, and started a fierce competition with Guo Yang!
Li Wenbo's advantage is not his position, but his influence on the Standing Committee and the leadership group!
In the leadership group, he and Zhang Zhijie, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, have two votes, stabilizing Guo Yang! And in the Standing Committee, the vast majority of people also listen to Li Wenbo. As long as there is a vote, Guo Yang will definitely lose!
Guo Yang knows this better than anyone, so he will never initiate a final vote.
"I said that I will base my opinions on the opinions of Mayor Li and the leadership group. The disputes and statements between Mayor Li and me are just different opinions and have no other meanings! Since Mayor Li insists so much, Then I will reserve my opinion! But..."
When Guo Yang said this, he suddenly changed the subject: "Mayor Li said it himself just now, it was not directed at me, but at Comrade Liu Fusheng's qualifications. If the comrade I nominated has enough qualifications to become the secretary of the Xiushan County Party Committee, You’ll show your support too, right?”
Li Wenbo looked at Guo Yang, his face gloomy, but he was about to smile in his heart.
This sentence was the "flaw" he deliberately sold to Guo Yang.
Guo Yang smiled and said: "Mayor Li, I will nominate another comrade now. How about you think about it?"
"Who do you want to nominate?" Li Wenbo asked warily.
Guo Yang said: "The person I want to nominate is Comrade Cao Junshan, the magistrate of Xiushan County who is currently on medical leave!"
"Cao Junshan?"
"That's right! Comrade Cao Junshan has come from the grassroots level to where he is today step by step. He has never been punished before, and he has never violated any laws or disciplines! Moreover, he has served as the county magistrate of Xiushan County for many years. Regarding Xiushan County's He knows the situation very well! His promotion from county magistrate to county party committee secretary is justifiable!" Guo Yang said.
These words are almost irrefutable!
Cao Junshan is indeed qualified to serve as Xiushan County Party Committee Secretary!
As for Li Wenbo, when he heard the name Cao Junshan, his smile seemed to be relieved.
This expression was captured accurately by Guo Yang! He knew why Li Wenbo was relieved, because almost everyone knew Cao Junshan's level!
Cao Junshan is a mediocre person. He has been a decoration since he became the county magistrate. Before Liu Fusheng went to Xiushan County, he was used as a punching bag by Xu Guangming. After Liu Fusheng took office, he also forced him to retire!
What can such a person do when he becomes the secretary of the county party committee?
After Li Wenbo hesitated for a moment, he nodded and said, "What Secretary Guo said makes sense. As long as Comrade Cao Junshan has no physical problems, he is indeed qualified to nominate a candidate to become Xiushan County Party Committee Secretary!"
Having said this, he turned to look at the other members of the Standing Committee and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"
Of course no one else can have an opinion!
The secretary and the mayor have already taken a step back and reached an agreement. Who else is ignorant enough to offer advice at this time?
In the end, the Standing Committee meeting unanimously approved that Cao Junshan be added to the candidate list of Xiushan County Party Committee Secretary, while Liu Fusheng's name remained on the candidate list of Xiushan County Magistrate.
After the meeting, Guo Yang returned to the office and called Cao Junshan again.
That's right, at the end of the last Standing Committee meeting, after he called Liu Fusheng, he had already called Cao Junshan.
"Hello, Secretary Guo!" Cao Junshan greeted immediately after answering the phone.
Guo Yang smiled kindly and said: "County Magistrate Cao, I'm calling you to ask you how your health is now? Can you return to work?"
Cao Junshan didn't even hesitate for a moment and said immediately: "Secretary, don't worry! I can now eat three bowls of rice, plus a chicken and a plate of braised pork! I run at least ten kilometers every morning! My waist is not sore, my legs are not hurting... "
"Okay, okay!" Guo Yang quickly interrupted Cao Junshan's boasting and said with a smile: "Since County Magistrate Cao is fine, it's good! Today, the Municipal Standing Committee has officially nominated you as the new Xiushan County Party Committee Candidate for Secretary!”
"what did you say?!"
Cao Junshan almost shouted, and then quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Secretary Guo! I, I'm so excited! You...you nominated me as a candidate for county party committee secretary?"
"Yes! You heard that right, he is the county party committee secretary, not the county magistrate! In addition, this is not my nomination to you, but a joint resolution of the Liaonan Municipal Standing Committee!" Guo Yang said.
On the other end of the phone, Cao Junshan's breathing became rapid, and it took him a long time to say excitedly: "Thank you, secretary! Thank you, secretary! I knew it was absolutely right to follow Secretary Guo!"
"County Magistrate Cao, don't say that! If you want to follow, you will also follow the organization!" Guo Yang corrected him in an official tone, and then said with a smile: "In addition, when I called you before, didn't I already prepare you mentally? Yet?"
"Yes, yes! The secretary is right! Not only was I mentally prepared, but I... I also made a special trip to Liaonan City to give Mayor Li some specialties..." Cao Junshan said, Suddenly I felt as if I had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed my words: "No, no! I meant..."
Guo Yang understood. Cao Junshan was also very naughty. After receiving his call, he actually went to give Li Wenbo a gift! This is a plan to bet on both ends! No wonder Li Wenbo did not express any objection at the meeting today!
However, it was considered a mistake. Li Wenbo must have thought that Cao Junshan wanted to surrender to him! This saves Guo Yang a lot of trouble!
"County Magistrate Cao, you don't need to explain, I understand how you feel! After you gave Mayor Li the specialties, what did he say?" Guo Yang asked with a pretended to be generous smile.
Cao Junshan said with a guilty conscience: "Mayor Li confiscated the specialties I gave..."
"Confiscated?"
"Yes! Mayor Li said that he has no merit and no reward, so he can't accept what I give him! He will only act in accordance with the regulations!" Cao Junshan muttered.
This Li Wenbo is quite cautious!
Guo Yang narrowed his eyes. With Li Wenbo's current status, if he was not someone who knew the inside and out, he would not accept the gift no matter who gave it to him. After all, he had learned from Jin Zerong's past experience!
Opposite me, Cao Junshan suddenly said with a dry smile: "Secretary Guo, I still have those specialties. Otherwise, can I send them to you?"
