Chapter Nineteenth: Human Resource Research

  Cao Daifu, Zhao Yuangong and Wu Zhenquan were all familiar to the Standing Committee members, but some of them didn't know much about Lao Zheng and Ye Pingyu. Some Standing Committee members mentioned this matter after Yang Long finished speaking, and Yang Long introduced that Lao Zheng was originally a deputy department-level cadre, but had no specific duties. This adjustment was actually to let him move from a virtual position to a real job position. As for Ye Pingyu, Yang Long himself didn't know much about him either. It was Zhang Mingshun's request to nominate Ye Pingyu as the candidate for Director of Party and Government Office of Caoxian Township according to the recommendation of Caoxian Township Party Committee.

  Yang Long can only introduce Ye Pingyu's educational background and work experience to everyone, and then let everyone study.

  After Yang Long finished introducing, Zhang Ming Shun first expressed his attitude: "Cao Da Fu has been serving as the head of Cao Lingzi Township all along, and whether it is work performance or work ability, he has enough qualifications to serve as the secretary of the township party committee. This time, adjusting him to serve as the secretary of the Cao Lingzi Township Party Committee is appropriate, I agree with the suggestion of the Organization Department."

  Zhang Mingshun first made a statement about Cao Dafu's affairs, and only after confirming Cao Dafu's position could the issue of who would take over as township head be studied. Otherwise, if Cao Dafu couldn't become the township party secretary, there would be no way to adjust this position for someone else.

  Because the secretary's office meeting did not resolve everyone's differences, Guo Minghai and Chen Qili were unwilling to back down on this matter. Although they did not want to take the position of township party secretary, in order to let Zhao Yuangong become the township head, they had to use some tactics. After Zhang Mingshun finished speaking, Guo Minghai coughed and said: "I think the work of Caolingzi Township has been unsatisfactory in recent years. Although this is related to Yang Maoyu's tenure as party secretary, Cao Dafu, as township head, also bears unshirkable responsibility. If we talk about his work performance, I don't see any achievements. Letting him take the position of party secretary may not be qualified. Zhao Yuangong used to work in the county committee office and has strong abilities. Although he is now only a deputy secretary, if the county committee dares to boldly appoint people, letting him directly take the position of party secretary is also possible. This is my opinion and suggestion!"

  In order to let Zhao Yuangong become the township head, Guo Minghai deliberately vetoed Cao Dafu's promotion and then proposed that Zhao Yuangong take over as township party secretary, thereby putting pressure on Gui Qixiang and Zhang Mingshun, forcing them to give up their idea of letting Wu Zhenquan become the township head.

  After Guo Minghai finished speaking, Zhang Mingshun thought Chen Qili would definitely follow Guo's words and create trouble together. However, Chen Qili immediately spoke up and said: "I think it is appropriate to let Cao Dafu take over as the secretary of the township committee, I agree!"

  As soon as this was said, Gui Qixiang hastily looked at him a few more times, thinking that there might also be a disagreement between him and Guo Minghai. If so, it would be perfect to take advantage of the situation and push Wu Zhenquan up.

  But after Chen Qili finished speaking, Guo Minghai didn't show any expression, sitting there without making a sound, and it couldn't be seen that he was unhappy, which made Zhang Mingshun feel very strange after seeing him.

  After Chen Qili finished speaking, none of the other standing committee members expressed any opposing opinions. Zhao Linjun sat there smoking and also spat out two words: "Agree!"

  Everyone agreed on this matter, only Guo Minghai disagreed. Gui Qixiang concluded: "Cao Dafu has been the village head for many years, and it is appropriate to appoint him as the secretary of the village party committee this time. Comrade Minghai has a different opinion, which can be recorded in the file. However, based on the principle of minority obeying majority, Cao Dafu's appointment as the secretary of Caolingzi Township Party Committee is considered passed. Next, let's discuss the candidate for the village head."

  Guī Qǐxiáng made a decisive statement, and everyone else had nothing to say. They began considering who should take over as the village head. Zhāng Míngshùn spoke up first: "I think Wú Zhènquán is more suitable for the position of village head. This comrade has been serving as the deputy village head in charge of daily affairs, and having him take over as village head will make it easier to carry out future work. As for Zhào Yuángōng, he's always been working on party affairs, so it's better if he remains unchanged."

  As soon as he heard this, Guo Minghai felt discontented in his heart. Zhang Mingshun is still a county party committee deputy secretary who does party affairs, how can he think of becoming the county magistrate? Why not let the executive vice-county magistrate Gao Yusheng take over directly? This is all based on seniority, how can it be done arbitrarily!

  So, as soon as Zhang Mingshun finished speaking, Guo Minghai immediately said: "Secretary Mingshun's words are not quite right. Wu Zhenquan is only the deputy head of the township government, and his party seniority is not as deep as Zhao Yuangong's. He is not even a deputy secretary now, how can he be promoted to township head all at once? Moreover, he has no outstanding achievements in his work. Cao Dafu, the current township head, has not achieved anything, let alone Wu Zhenquan, the deputy head. Since neither of them has any outstanding achievements, we should follow seniority and let Zhao Yuangong take over as township head. As for Wu Zhenquan, since the Organization Department thinks highly of him, they can promote him further and let him serve as deputy secretary of the Township Committee!"

  Guo Minghai presented his own views, which were well-reasoned and not easily refutable. After finishing speaking, he sat there with a stern face, indicating that he would not back down on this issue. He did not believe that all the standing committee members would support Gui Qishan and Zhang Mingshun's opinions.

  After he finished speaking, Chen Qili stood up and looked at everyone with a serious expression: "The candidate for the position of head of Caolingzi Township should be adjusted from the perspective of maintaining stability in Caolingzi Township. Yang Maoyuan, the head of Caolingzi Township, has just had an accident, and it is said that the people inside are now panicked. If we do not promote Wu Zhenquan to take over as the township head according to seniority, it will lead to serious dissatisfaction among other deputy secretaries who have not been promoted, and the team of Caolingzi Township will not be united, which will further affect the overall stability of Caolingzi Township. This is definitely something we do not want to see. Therefore, let Cao Dafu take over as the township party secretary, and then let Zhao Yuangong take over as the township head. This approach is more stable. If we insist on letting Wu Zhenquan serve as the township head and ultimately lead to a serious disunity of the Caolingzi Township team, who will bear this responsibility? I personally do not lean towards anyone, but only consider it from a work perspective and a broader perspective. Secretary Minghai just said that if there are no outstanding achievements, we should follow seniority, and I agree with him on this point."

  Chen Qili finished speaking and leaned back in his chair, looking very objective and impartial. Earlier, he had not vetoed Cao Dafu's appointment with Guo Minghai precisely so that he could now support Zhao Yuangong's candidacy for township head and demonstrate his objectivity and impartiality, leaving the other standing committee members speechless.

  As expected, as soon as Chen Qili finished speaking, several original delegates who were on good terms with the county magistrate nodded continuously, indicating their agreement with Chen Qili's opinion. The position of township head is still better held by Zhao Yuangong, and Wu Zhenquan needs to be tempered, so he can take over as deputy secretary of the township party committee and take over from Zhao Yuangong.

  The meeting suddenly formed a one-sided situation, with only Gao Yusheng, the executive vice county magistrate, believing that Wu Zhenquan, the executive vice township head, could directly take over as township head. However, his words made Zhang Mingshun somewhat unhappy, although he supported his opinion, it gave people the feeling that he had some other meaning, whether he thought that this executive vice county magistrate could also directly succeed to the position of county magistrate?

  So in the end, even Zhang Ming Shun himself felt that if Wu Zhenquan were to become the township head, he as the deputy secretary of the county party committee would become the target of public criticism and dissatisfaction. He is currently at a critical juncture in taking over as county magistrate, so it's better for him to keep a low profile for now. After he becomes the county magistrate, it won't be too late to consider promoting Wu Zhenquan then.

  Guī Qǐxiáng himself did not intend to let Wú Zhènquán take the position of township head, all this was Zhāng Míngshùn's proposal. Now that everyone agrees that Zhào Yuángōng should take over as township head, the county party secretary also finds it inconvenient to go against public opinion, so he directly agreed with everyone's opinion and decided that the position of township head would still be taken by Zhào Yuángōng.

  After settling on Zhao Yuangong as the candidate for township head, Wu Zhenquan was mentioned to take over Zhao's position. Since Guo Minghai had already achieved his goal and it was he who proposed letting Wu Zhenquan take over as deputy secretary of the township party committee, this matter passed without any obstruction.

  Wu Zhenquan was elected, and the vacant position became everyone's research goal. Originally, Zhang Mingshun wanted to let Old Zheng take over as deputy secretary of the township committee, but now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved, so he proposed letting Old Zheng take over as executive vice mayor of the township, which would also serve to balance out Zhao Yuangong who had just become the mayor, and was a good choice.

  Lao Zheng is not very familiar to everyone, but the Organization Department has put forward, and for a while, no one can come up with other candidates. Moreover, Lao Zheng himself is already a deputy department-level cadre, so this adjustment does not count as overstepping promotion. Although some people have expressed different opinions, they were unable to stop Lao Zheng's promotion, and his position as Executive Vice Mayor was passed.

  After passing through Old Zheng's deputy head of the township, only one position was left: the director of the Party and Government Office of Cao Lingzi Township Committee. After everyone discussed this, Zhao Linjun said he wanted to relax a bit, go to the bathroom, and other committee members also stretched their waists, saying they needed a break. Then everyone took a break before coming back to continue the meeting.

  After everyone went out to rest, Gui Qixiang also went out to convenience himself. County Party Committee Propaganda Department Head, Teng Qing, sat there and asked Yang Long who was sitting next to her: "Director Yang, what's the name of that Party and Government Office Director candidate you mentioned earlier?"

  Yang Long smiled and said to her: "Call Ye Pingyu, very young, just over three months after joining the company!"

  Tong Qing opened her beautiful big eyes and said: "To be promoted as the director of the party and government office after only three months of working?"

  Yang Long smiled and said, "Although this young man is relatively young, his work has been outstanding. The Grass Ridge Township Party Committee strongly recommends him, and our Organization Department should respect the opinions of the Grass Ridge Township Party Committee."

  As soon as Teng Qing heard Yang Long say this, she thought to herself what kind of young man he was. He had achieved results shortly after joining the workforce and was even younger than when she was promoted to deputy department level!
