One month after Li Zhenbang, executive deputy governor of the provincial government, inspected Dongshan Township in Cangyang County, Chen Shaoping officially became the executive deputy governor of Cangyang County Government, becoming the No. 4 figure in Cangyang County.
In a true sense, we move from grassroots cadres to the leadership.
At the same time, Jinjiang Province has kicked off the province’s poverty alleviation campaign.
Cangyang County is one of the seven national-level poverty-stricken counties in Jinjiang Province and the only national-level poverty-stricken county in Jiangli City. The promotion of poverty alleviation is the top priority of the county committee and county government.
The county party committee and county government held a standing committee meeting to discuss poverty alleviation tasks.
Chen Shaoping, who is already the executive deputy county magistrate, has an important say in the county committee standing committee meeting. He almost single-handedly plans the poverty alleviation work and then discusses it at the standing committee meeting.
There are seven first-stage townships out of the fifteen townships in Cangyang County. These seven first-tier townships are no longer included in the poverty alleviation work.
Since Dongshan Township is the front line of poverty alleviation, it has taken the lead in completing the poverty alleviation task. What needs to be discussed next is the poverty alleviation work of the remaining seven terraced towns.
The remaining seven terraced towns are: Daping Town, Yangping Township, Paolou Town, Donghe Town, Sanyou Township, Qingquan Township, and Songguan Town.
This is Chen Shaoping's first important speech since he became the executive deputy county magistrate. For this, he has made sufficient preparations.
“Poverty alleviation offices have been established in major towns and villages, with the party committee secretaries and mayors of each township serving as directors of the township poverty alleviation offices. The general poverty alleviation office of the county government is under the unified management to deeply explore developable economic points according to different township economic structures... …”
At the meeting, Chen Shaoping also proposed the personnel arrangements for the County Government’s Poverty Alleviation Office.
"The position of deputy director of the County Government's Poverty Alleviation Office has been adjusted accordingly due to work needs, and the number of positions has been increased to seven. One deputy director of the office is mainly responsible for the specific poverty alleviation work of a township. He is stationed in the village and visits... …”
Next, Chen Shaoping announced the list of seven deputy directors of the county government's poverty alleviation office: Xu Xiaoping, Huo Zhenghua, Xu Wenhua, Luo Lingbo, Zhang Haibin, Han Hongfang, and Gao Caifeng.
In fact, he is a key member of the Poverty Alleviation Office in Dongshan Township.
This arrangement is not because Chen Shaoping intends to be biased, but because these people have worked on the front line of poverty alleviation in Dongshan Township for more than a year, and are already quite familiar with poverty alleviation work and can better cooperate with the local government in its work.
The Standing Committee meeting was very quiet, and everyone was listening carefully to the speech of Executive Deputy County Magistrate Chen Shaoping.
But after Chen Shaoping finished his speech, County Magistrate Guo Yutang made additional explanations.
"It can be seen that County Magistrate Chen has prepared the poverty alleviation work very carefully and carefully, and the work arrangements are also scientific and reasonable. I am very satisfied with it, but there is just one thing that I feel is a little wrong!"
County Magistrate Guo Yutang said slowly, with a calm and natural expression.
Everyone's eyes turned to County Magistrate Guo Yutang.
"County Magistrate Chen, I think your thinking is a bit wrong when it comes to the staff arrangement of the Poverty Alleviation Office. Huo Zhenghua is the mayor of Dongshan Township and also the deputy secretary of the county party committee who is in charge of the daily work of Dongshan Township. You also included him in the staff arrangement. It is obviously inappropriate to be among the staff of the Poverty Alleviation Office!”
Chen Shaoping was stunned and felt doubts in his heart: "I discussed this arrangement material with you three days ago. You didn't have any opinions at that time. I just went to the Standing Committee..."
But these words obviously cannot be said here.
Later, County Magistrate Guo Yutang continued: "Dongshan Township is the frontline of our county's poverty alleviation, and it is recognized by the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. It is the model for our poverty alleviation work, and it is an important pilot place in Jiangli City. We I feel that while we are carrying out poverty alleviation work in the county, we cannot relax in Dongshan Township! Therefore, I suggest that Huo Zhenghua not join the Poverty Alleviation Office, and at the same time transfer Xu Xiaoping, a staff member of the Poverty Alleviation Office, to Dongshan Township as the Party Committee Secretary!"
If Chen Shaoping's objection to County Magistrate Guo Yutang was just confusion before, now it has turned into shock!
Huo Zhenghua and Xu Xiaoping are both staff members who have outstanding performance in poverty alleviation work in Dongshan Township. After carrying out poverty alleviation work in the county, they deserve to be reused!
Furthermore, to take a step back, these two people followed Chen Shaoping and made outstanding contributions to poverty alleviation in Dongshan Township.
The poverty alleviation work of Dongshan Township has been highly recognized by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government. They are all meritorious people, and they should continue to work hard to give them a bigger stage to display their talents...
Why were Xu Xiaoping and Huo Zhenghua locked up in Dongshan Township instead?
Not only Chen Shaoping couldn't figure it out, but deputy county magistrates You Hanlu and Qiu Shuqin who were attending the meeting also couldn't figure it out.
County Party Secretary Ma Bin is even more confused.
At the Standing Committee meeting, County Magistrate Guo Yutang partially rejected the proposal of Executive Deputy County Magistrate Chen Shaoping?
Those attending the Standing Committee meeting were all important cadres from Cangyang County: County Party Secretary Ma Bin, County Mayor (Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee) Guo Yutang, County Party Committee full-time deputy secretary Zhou Guangming, Executive Deputy County Mayor Chen Shaoping, County Party Committee Office Director Liu Guozhong, Deputy County Mayor You Hanlu , Qiu Shuqin, He Yanlai, Director of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, Luo Wenqiang, Director of the County Public Security Bureau and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, Deng Guangrong, Director of the County Propaganda Department, Sun Ye, Secretary of the County Discipline Inspection Commission, Qin Lei, Minister of the County Armed Forces Department, and Guo Yungang, Secretary of the Chengguan Town Party Committee.
Secretary of the County Party Committee and Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office Liu Zhenhua attended the meeting.
Now the county magistrate Guo Yutang and the executive deputy county magistrate have differences of opinion. The disagreement turns out to be on the power of personnel appointment and dismissal... But the person who decides the power of personnel transfer is the county party committee secretary Ma Bin...
This makes this Standing Committee meeting quite interesting.
Ma Bin is the secretary of the county party committee. He originally had absolute authority in Cangyang. However, due to the involvement of Zhou Hua, Feng Jiegang and others, Ma Bin's authority as secretary of the county party committee has plummeted, and he has gradually become the number two figure in Cangyang County.
After Chen Shaoping became the executive deputy mayor, Ma Bin's influence was further weakened: because of the city's vigorous poverty alleviation task, the leading power lies in the hands of the county government's poverty alleviation office, not the county party committee office...
Of course, Ma Bin also made concessions and decided to fully cooperate with the poverty alleviation work led by the county government office.
At today's Standing Committee meeting, Chen Shaoping reported to Ma Bin in advance his proposal for personnel adjustments in the County Government's Poverty Alleviation Office, and Ma Bin had no objections.
If the county magistrate Guo Yutang hadn't suddenly intervened, this proposal would have passed the county committee standing committee meeting very quickly.
"County Magistrate Chen, I have made adjustments to your proposal. Do you have any objections?"
Under the astonished gazes of many members of the Standing Committee, County Magistrate Guo Yutang slowly asked Chen Shaoping, Executive Deputy Magistrate.
