The Construction Bureau is divided into two major factions, which is well-known.
One side, led by Director Lao Chenggui, had an absolute advantage. Deputy Directors Gao Xing, Sun Zhanluo and Chang Zhonglin were all capable assistants. More importantly, out of the eight deputy directors in charge of ten departments, seven were his people.
On the other hand, another faction has always been in a weak position, and the fatal thing is that they do not have a real core. The two deputy directors, Chen Wenyun and Yu Feilong, both want to be the leader, and can work together externally, but internally they are not convinced of each other and undermine each other. Meanwhile, Deputy Director Guo Hongda, who is about to step down, has an overly narrow mind and only targets La Chenggui alone.
Most of the time, as long as it is an internal struggle within the Construction Bureau, victory basically belongs to the side of Labour and Honesty, only the way of victory and the cost are different.
The situation is clear: this time in the democratic election office, two deputy directors have already voted, and the result can be predicted before voting has even begun.
In the past few years, Lao Chenggui refused to appoint a deputy director in order to help Zhang Xiuling control the office. He left this position vacant, making everyone have expectations and unable to unite. The benefits were so small that everyone wanted them, how could they unite?
Now it's good, I have to slap my own butt and leave. Under the guise of a document from the Organization Department, they started so-called democratic selection, but in essence, this is still a political farce.
Twenty-five people participated in the vote, and Lao Chenggui got four votes from the leading group, seven votes from ten middle-level cadres, and eight office staff members. Ye Nan and Xu Hengtai closely followed him, while Liu Zhengfeng returned from Dayang Village with a promise of benefits.
Simply put, Labour can be said to be unbeatable, he wants who to go up is who goes up, without his consent, whoever wants to go up cannot go up.
This is strength, when a person leaves, they can still kick you hard, Chen Wenyun will not tolerate any disobedience from the Feilong gang.
The deputy director of the office is equivalent to a deputy department level, and the province has a very strict age limit for this level. Those in office are not restricted, but new appointments absolutely cannot exceed 40 years old, with no exceptions, including relatives of the municipal party secretary, unless some minor adjustments are made to their age.
By age, Li Yajuan is 38 and Shi Zhengfeng is 37. If they don't make it this time, there won't be another chance, especially for Li Yajuan who has been receiving deputy department-level treatment seven years ago but has never held a real position. Even if Shi Zhengfeng doesn't get selected, he won't lose out either, having always had the awkward status of "replacing work with cadre". Seizing this opportunity to turn it into a regular position is a huge gain.
Chen Dabao is 33 years old, Li Xiaogang is 29 years old, and Ye Nan is 28 years old. According to the three standards, all of them are qualified to go up.
Xiang Tian Liang dares not measure himself, a newcomer wants to rise up, just like an 11 or 12-year-old boy marrying a wife, it's just a dream.
In an official organization, to win over the public, one must excel in at least one of three aspects: having a powerful backer, ability, or seniority. Otherwise, everything is blank and nothing can be expected.
Moreover, his two ears were very "well-behaved", sticking to his head without making a sound, neither reporting good news nor bad news, which fully explained that today's matter had nothing to do with him.
It is an honor for Labour to be given the right to elect a Chief Executive, or rather, it is a political gesture.
No one spoke and the atmosphere was solemn, the voting ended quickly.
Liu Zhengfeng brought a small blackboard and chalk, Xu Hengtao took on the task of singing votes again, and the task of supervising votes fell to Vice Directors Gao Xing and Chen Wenyun.
"Ye Nan got one vote, Li Yajuan got one vote."
Xu Hengtao read out the first ballot, Liu Zhengfeng held a piece of chalk and recorded it on the small blackboard, while repeating the name Xu Hengtao had read out, following the old rules.
Xiang Tianliang didn't notice other people's expressions, he stood in the corner, heard the first ballot, and couldn't help but feel a little happy, this wouldn't be his own vote, would it? He had written down the names of those two women.
"Li Yajuan got one vote, Ye Nan got one vote."
"Shi Haifeng has one vote, Chen Dabao has one vote."
"Li Xiaogang one vote, Shi Haifeng one vote."
"Li Yajuan got one vote, Xiang Tianliang got one vote."
"Ye Nan got one vote, Xiang Tianliang got one vote."
“……”
Someone actually voted for themselves, and towards Tian Liang, it's secretly delightful, this must be two women supporting each other.
When the vote was about halfway through, Liu Zhengfeng's chalk broke in his hand, and a long piece fell into the washbasin next to him.
The office immediately burst into a wave of kind laughter, and Lao Chenggui also laughed.
Liu Zhengfeng found it amusing himself.
"You laugh first, I'll go find a piece of chalk." Liu Zhengfeng chuckled and turned to look for the chalk.
The twelve songs that have been sung out already have several notable features.
Li Yajuan got 9 votes, far ahead of others who ranked third or lower in the number of votes.
What's going on? Xiang Tianliang muttered to himself, wasn't it said that Sister Li had poor relationships in the bureau, how did she suddenly get so many votes?
Ye Nang got 7 votes, ranking second, both within and beyond expectations. Before walking away, Lao Chenggui was sure to send his adopted daughter off, but she received fewer votes than Li Yajuan, which many people did not expect.
There is another feature, surprisingly, Xiang Tianliang ranked third with four votes.
In addition, Shi Haifeng has two votes, and Li Xiaogang and Chen Dabao have just broken zero. These three people basically have no hope.
Liu Zhengfeng returned with the ballot box, and the vote counting continued.
At this time, the expressions of people in the office became rich and colorful.
Lao Cheng values smoking, looking confident and composed.
He's quite pleased, Ye Nann supports him, Li Yajuan and his wife are good sisters, he doesn't oppose her taking the position.
Chen Wenyun's face turned gloomy as the clouds changed and darkened.
Yu Feilong was absent-minded and should have been thinking about something in "Qinghe City Annals".
Sun Zhanlu didn't even look at the small blackboard. His ambition was not here, and what he was thinking about in his heart was still the director's throne.
Several "parties" were also present, Li Yajuan was still as cold as ice, Ye Nan had joy written all over her face, Chen Dabao slumped in a rattan chair, Li Xiaogang leaned against the wall with a look of regret, and Shi Haifeng's face had already turned bright red.
Xiang Tianliang was still puzzled, Ye Nian's election was a foregone conclusion, but how did Li Yajuan get the most votes and come in first?
This should be a play carefully planned by Lao Chenggui, showing off the authority of the top leader while also demonstrating that even if one day he goes to the CPPCC, the Construction Bureau still has his say, who walks the tea is cool, whether the tea is cool or not depends on you, you handle it.
The vote count is over.
The office fell silent once again.
The result is clear at a glance on the blackboard.
However, it must be announced by the host, Director and Party Secretary Lao Chenggui, which is a necessary procedure.
He extinguished his cigarette butt and stood up with a smile.
