Chapter Seventy-Ninth: Summoning Wang Qiang Once Again

  During the two weeks that Ye Pingyu studied at the county party school, a major event in the development history of Qingyun area took place. After being approved by the State Council, Qingyun area was withdrawn and established as a prefecture-level city, with the original county-level Qingyun city abolished and three administrative districts directly under the leadership of Qingyun city were set up.

  Qingyun City welcomes the spring of development, and the position of the first secretary of the Qingyun Municipal Party Committee is very important. At the same time as the city was established, the provincial party committee has already made arrangements for the main leaders of Qingyun City.

  Yang Zhongsheng, the former secretary of Qingyun County Party Committee, was appointed as vice governor. Ping Yuan Chao took office as the first secretary of Qingyun Municipal Party Committee, and Liu Chunxin, the former deputy secretary of the county party committee, served as mayor.

  The provincial party committee and government sent a special team to hold a ceremony for the withdrawal of the land and the establishment of the city. Pingyuan Chao and Liu Chunxin were both beaming with joy, and the new administrative division was bound to usher in a great development boom once it was established.

  For such a major event, Ye Pingyu in the county also heard about it, and the trainees were also discussing it privately. On the one hand, they talked about the establishment of the city, and on the other hand, they mainly discussed the adjustment of the municipal party committee leadership.

  Ye Pingyu wasn't too concerned about this matter, the things that happened in the city were too far away from them, knowing was enough, and there was no need to understand it too much. The only thing he cared about a bit was whether Zhu Zishen would be transferred to the municipal party committee office along with Ping Yuan Chao?

  Although there were some concerns, they didn't take it too seriously. After studying at the county party school, they returned to the countryside. Everything was back to normal after returning to the countryside. Those so-called scandals seemed to have gradually disappeared after two weeks of settling down.

  But he is now very dissatisfied with the situation of the Party and Government Office, Zhou Wei has become a person who makes him feel disgusted, and Yao Weiguo's work is not active. If this situation continues, the Party and Government Office will inevitably have problems.

  He thought of transferring Wang Qiang to the party and government office, but he didn't have a good reason to propose this to Cao Dafu. Although Yao Weiguo was not working actively and Zhou Xue let him down, these words were not easy for him to say out loud, so how to propose this to Cao Dafu became a headache for him.

  After some thought, Ye Pingyu felt that he couldn't just rely on Cao Dafu. Although Cao Dafu supported him, he was too smooth in handling things and didn't adhere to principles much. Deep down, he wasn't very willing to get close to Cao Dafu, and he was more inclined towards Zhao Yuangong's character. If he had to choose sides again, he would stand with Zhao Yuangong.

  But Zhao Yuangong knew he was Cao Dafu's man and had his guard up against him. However, in some matters, he didn't keep much from Zhao Yuangong, as he always thought of himself as the director of the township party committee office, rather than someone else's office director.

  At this point, Zhao Yuangong is affirmative towards him. If not for the overly strong Cao Da Fu color on his body, Zhao Yuangong might have taken him as one of his own people.

  Without getting Cao Dafu's support, Ye Pingyu thought of using Zhao Yuangong's help to transfer Wang Qiang to the Party and Government Office. Zhao Yuangong was the head of the township, although he couldn't handle some things well, but he still had the power to transfer someone over, it just depended on whether he was willing to help or not. If he was willing to help, Yan Bengli would no longer obstruct, and Cao Dafu wouldn't disagree with transferring Wang Qiang.

  Taking advantage of Cao Dafu's trip to the county town for a meeting, Ye Pingyu came alone to Zhao Yuangong's room to discuss this matter with him.

  Zhao Yuangong was sitting in the room smoking, originally he didn't smoke in the county town, it wasn't until he started working in Cao Lingzi Township that he learned to smoke, now he smokes even more fiercely, there are so many things going on in the countryside and the pressure is making him anxious, how can he not worry!

  Cao Da Fu now has control over the village, as the village head he can only follow behind and do some things. The conflict between him and Cao Da Fu has always existed, although it hasn't been made too public, but everyone knows about it.

  Knock on the door, Ye Pingyu called out to Zhao Xiangzhang and went in. Zhao Yuangong saw him coming over and thought he had something to ask for instructions, so he looked up at him without indicating for him to sit down.

  Seeing Zhao Yuangong's appearance, Ye Pingyu smiled and said: "Director Zhao, are you free? I'd like to discuss some things with you."

  As soon as he heard that Ye Pingyu wanted to talk about something, Zhao Yuangong knew it wasn't what he thought, so he invited him to sit down. Usually, they didn't communicate much about some things, but now Ye Pingyu took the initiative to find him, which was also an opportunity to deepen their feelings, a good thing.

  Ye Pingyu sat down, and Zhao Yuangong handed him a cigarette. He waved his hand and said he didn't smoke. Zhao Yuangong lit one himself and started smoking, after taking a puff, he smiled and said: "Little Ye, when I was as young as you, I didn't smoke either. When I worked at the county committee office, I spent all day and night writing materials without smoking. Who would have thought that after coming here, I learned to smoke? Now if I don't take a few puffs, it feels like something's missing. Staying with me, you're passively smoking!"

  Hearing Zhao Yuangong's words, Ye Pingyu's mood relaxed a bit, and he also smiled: "The work pressure in the countryside is great. If Director Zhao were still in the county, I'm afraid he wouldn't learn to smoke yet. But once he starts smoking, it's hard to quit!"

  Zhao Yuankong chuckled and said: "You're right, I've become an old smoker now. When I get home, my wife scolds me, but there's no way around it, if I don't smoke, I won't be able to cope!"

  The two of them chatted about this topic for a while to get closer, Zhao Yuangong was very good at this kind of communication. After finishing talking about this matter, Ye Pingyu thought for a moment and then said to him: "Director Zhao, do you think there are any problems with the work of the Party and Government Office? I have been serving as the director of the Party and Government Office for some time now, but I don't know if my work has met your expectations. I'd like to hear your instructions!"

  It was unexpected that Ye Pingyu would bring up this topic with him, Zhao Yuangong took a look at him and suddenly thought of it, after all, Ye Pingyu was Cao Dafu's man, now taking the initiative to discuss this matter, couldn't help but make him suspicious. Although from the normal working relationship, Ye Pingyu wanted to listen to his instructions, promote the work of the party and government office is also very normal, but sometimes people will think more, making the problem complicated.

  After listening to Ye Pingyu's words, Zhao Yuangong thought for a moment and smiled: "Xiao Ye, your work is not bad, I'm satisfied. What's wrong? Has someone raised an opinion about your party and government office?"

  Ye Pingyu furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying, "It's not that someone has raised objections, but personally I feel there are still some problems. Mainly, the personnel strength of the party and government offices is still somewhat weak. If time goes on like this, it's hard to guarantee that no problems will arise."

  Ye Pingyu tactfully raised the issue he wanted to mention, and Zhao Yuankong was also a clever person. As soon as he heard Ye say this, he felt that Ye might be dissatisfied with someone in the Party and government office, otherwise why would he say that the personnel strength is weak? Moreover, he had also heard some things about Zhou Lei, who seemed to be particularly active now. Seeing Zhou like this, Ye Pingyu must have been unhappy, so he thought of mentioning this matter.

  However, Zhou Wei is someone that Cao Da Fu appreciates. Now he didn't come to find Cao Da Fu but instead came to find himself, which makes people feel strange. If he wanted to get help from him to get rid of Zhou Wei, he probably wouldn't be able to do it, with Cao Da Fu around, there's no way he can do it.

  "There are quite a few people in your party's general office, do you still want to take someone?" Zhao Yuangong said with a smile to Ye Pingyu, unexpectedly hitting the nail on the head of what Ye Pingyu was thinking.

  Ye Pingyu immediately smiled and continued: "Director Zhao, you really understand people's intentions. Our party and government office actually wanted to transfer another person over. Compared to before, our party and government office is still short one person. Last time I reported to Secretary Cao, but the transfer didn't happen, so we were thinking of asking Director Zhao to think of a way to help our party and government office transfer another person over, in order to better promote the work of our party and government office."

  Zhao Yuangong listened to Ye Pingyu's words, and his mind became even more contemplative. Ye Pingyu didn't go find Cao Dafu about this matter, but instead came to find him - what did that mean? If Cao Dafu found out, wouldn't he criticize him?

  Zhao Yuangong thought about it and looked up at Ye Pingyu, feeling that Ye Pingyu's approach was sincere and didn't have any ulterior motives. Thinking back to Ye Pingyu's usual behavior, he felt that there was a possibility of him drawing closer to himself. If he helped him out this time, who knows, maybe in the future he would be able to stand on his side.

  If Ye Pingyu didn't stand on his side after helping him, but as long as he did so, it would also make Cao Dafu suspicious. Since there was such an opportunity, why not take the initiative to help him?

  With this idea in mind, Zhao Yuankong immediately smiled and said: "Xiaoye, who did you want to transfer last time, but Secretary Cao didn't agree?"

  Ye Pingyu heard Zhao Yuangong say this and felt a glimmer of hope, so he said directly: "Last time I wanted to transfer Wang Qiang from the Water Conservancy Station over here, but in the end I transferred Xiao Zhou over instead. Actually, Wang Qiang is a more down-to-earth person who is suitable for working in the Party and government office. It would be better to transfer him over. Besides, there isn't much work at the Water Conservancy Station, so it's okay if he comes over to help out."

  Zhao Yuangong understood his meaning. The last time he adjusted Zhou Yue, it was entirely Cao Dafu's intention. No wonder Cao Dafu trusted him more now, while Ye Pingyu disliked Zhou Yue but wanted to adjust Wang Qiang, which was the main reason Ye Pingyu came to find him.

  Wang Qiang is a person from the water conservancy station. Last time Cao Dafu didn't agree, now he wants to transfer him over, but there must be a reason for it. But what kind of reason should I look for?

  After some thought, Zhao Yuangong said: "I have seen Wang Qiang, he is indeed a good person, but he is from the Water Conservancy Station. What if Yan Bingli disagrees with him being transferred over?"

  Zhao Yuangong indeed lived up to his reputation as a village head, hitting the nail on the head with one sentence, and couldn't help but make Ye Pingyu feel a little admiration. But he had long been prepared and said: "Our party committee is just borrowing him for a while, usually when there's nothing going on at the water conservancy station, if it gets busy, we can let him go back to work again, and it won't delay the work of the water conservancy station. Director Yan wouldn't be so irresponsible, would he?"

  Although he knew that Yan Bingli disagreed with Wang Qiang going to the party and government office for work, he now had to give Yan Bingli a high hat, so that Zhao Yuangong would actively do this thing.

  Friends, can you vote after watching?
