The pursuit of a position in officialdom

Li Wujiang and Ge Jiande went there that day and returned to Binzhou the same day. The two knew that something big was going to happen in Binzhou, so they were worried and returned overnight.

"Secretary Yang, the two leaders have returned from the province."

"Okay, I know." Yang Songtao was relieved when he heard that Ge Jiande and Li Wujiang had returned.

The next day, the Municipal Party Committee Office notified the Standing Committee to hold a meeting to study economic development work, and no leave was allowed. The Standing Committee members all arrived at the meeting room on time, and everyone was waiting for Ge Jiande to preside over the meeting. However, Ge Jiande did not preside over the meeting, but comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Public Security Department.

Yang Songtao saw this situation and immediately realized that he was finished. The leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection announced on the spot that Ge Jiande would be investigated. The Standing Committee members present were all stunned, especially Pei Ruhai, who lowered his head in fear. Yang Songtao did not resist and took him away. Ge Jiande sent the investigation team away and returned to his seat, unable to calm down for a long time. Although it was Yang Songtao who was taken away, they were all colleagues after all, so this form of taking him away in person was still very shocking.

Ge Jiande came back to his senses after being reminded by Li Wujiang's cough. Seeing Li Wujiang's calm face, he really felt that this young mayor was not simple and could be as steady as a mountain in the face of any storm.

Chapter 572: Catch them all in one net and restore the weather

"Everyone, everyone has seen the scene just now. It is very sad and disappointing. It is sad that our former comrades did not stick to the bottom line and eventually violated the law. What is disappointing is that they failed the expectations of the organization. First of all, our Binzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government must resolutely uphold any decision of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and resolutely investigate corrupt elements and lawbreakers to the end. The Provincial Party Committee has decided to file a case against Comrade Yang Songtao for investigation, and all departments of our Binzhou City must do a good job of matching. During this period, leaders of various departments must remain on duty, and this matter cannot delay the future economic development of Binzhou City. In particular, the propaganda department must play a good role in guiding public opinion, and must clearly state that our Binzhou City cannot tolerate any illegal and criminal acts, and any corrupt elements. We will never protect bad elements. We need to create a good environment to safeguard the city's economic development and create good conditions for the happiness of the people of the city. "

Ge Jiande spoke, and Li Wujiang continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a critical time, and it is also a time to test everyone's political responsibility. We must not lose our composure in the face of major issues. Leaders at all levels must fulfill their responsibilities and ensure that the systems under their charge are not in chaos. I discussed with Secretary Ge. Secretary Ge personally asked about the work of the Political and Legal Committee, and the work of the Public Security Bureau was temporarily presided over by Executive Deputy Director Cheng Zhigang. After everyone goes back, tell comrades not to spread rumors or believe in rumors, and do their own jobs well. "

Yang Songtao was arrested, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau was in a panic. Everyone was guessing who would be the next unlucky one. Cheng Zhigang had received instructions from Li Wujiang to ensure the stability of the Public Security Bureau. Cheng Zhigang knew that this was his opportunity to show his ability, and he carried out a rectification within the Public Security Bureau with thunderous means.

"Li Xiaoguo, don't have any illusions. The backer you counted on has been arrested. You should tell the truth." Liu Huicheng interrogated Li Xiaoguo again.

"I know you policemen. You just scare people all day long. I don't have a backer, and I have nothing to say." Li Xiaoguo was still waiting.

"Really? Your godfather is not your backer?"

When it comes to godfather, Li Xiaoguo suddenly panicked, but quickly denied it, "I have many godfathers, do I have many backers?"

"Oh, is Yang Songtao your godfather? Is he your backer?"

Li Xiaoguo was completely confused by the question. Logically speaking, Yang Songtao was Liu Huicheng's superior. How could Liu Huicheng dare to call Yang Songtao's name directly?

"You don't have to guess. Yang Songtao has been arrested and has become a prisoner like you." Liu Huicheng didn't want to waste time with Li Xiaoguo anymore, so he threw the bomb directly.

"Impossible, you are kidding. Secretary Yang is your immediate superior, how dare you deal with him?"

"Haha, Li Xiaoguo, you haven't recognized the situation yet, right? It's not us who want to deal with him, but the provincial party committee. Don't believe it, right? Here are the case filing procedures and the newspapers in Binzhou in recent days, take a look."

When Li Xiaoguo saw the photo of Yang Songtao being arrested, he was stunned. He had always had illusions and expected Yang Songtao to save him, but he didn't expect to wait for such a result. Seeing such news, Li Xiaoguo quickly collapsed, and with Li Xiaoguo's confession. Li Dayong's diary was turned out, and people in the officialdom of Dongliang County and Binzhou City were taken away one after another, including the executive vice mayor Pei Ruhai. The Binzhou team members took two people away at once, which was also a shocking case.

However, this storm was within Li Wujiang's expectations and did not have much impact on Binzhou's economic development. On the contrary, this incident made Binzhou citizens applaud and investors more assured, believing that the Binzhou Municipal Government was a government that dared to take responsibility and self-revolution.

"General Manager Ouyang, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Mayor Li, you are worthy of being the mayor at such a young age. You are decisive and ruthless. I admire you." Ouyang Wenjing was completely impressed by Li Wujiang this time. It took only two months from the promise to the investigation. This is hard to imagine in the officialdom of the mainland. This is a real fight.

"I am really honored to receive a compliment from Miss Ouyang. I am very excited. How is Miss Ouyang going to repay me?"

Looking at Li Wujiang looking at her with lustful eyes, Ouyang Wenjing felt a little guilty and whispered, "I'll treat you to a meal."

In a flash, winter came. Binzhou Port, the integrated gas refining project, and the Japan-Korea Industrial Park project were successively started, and Binzhou entered a stage of great development. At the same time, Binzhou's corrupt elements were almost eliminated. After this major change, Binzhou left many vacancies, and many people were eager to try.

"Mayor Li, everything is stable inside the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and criminal crimes have declined, ensuring the stability of the city's public security situation."

"Director Zhigang, thank you for your hard work this time. You have performed very well during this period. Secretary Ge and I have seen it." Li Wujiang was quite satisfied with Cheng Zhigang's work during this period, mainly because he played a key role at a critical time.

"Mayor Li, now that the work of the Municipal Public Security Bureau has entered a stable stage, should the higher authorities consider arranging suitable personnel?"

Li Wujiang knew what Cheng Zhigang wanted to ask. The position of the police chief is vacant now. According to common sense, the police chief is usually concurrently held by the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission or the deputy mayor. Although Cheng Zhigang is also interested in competing, he has been the executive deputy director for too short a time, and he is very worried.

"Director Zhigang, you just need to work hard. I have seen your efforts, and the Municipal Committee will make overall considerations. Of course, if possible, you can also report to Director Ma. After all, you have made an indelible contribution in the handling of this case."

When Cheng Zhigang heard Li Wujiang say this, his heart became lively. It seemed that Li Wujiang supported him. However, he was not sure what position he could achieve. As long as he knew that Li Wujiang supported him, it was enough.

"Mayor Wujiang, Secretary Shaobo, Minister Yanli, let's hold a secretary meeting today to discuss personnel work. Everyone knows that Binzhou has experienced major changes in the past two months. Many comrades have gone astray and have been dealt with by the organization. Many of our positions have become vacant, which has also affected the normal development of our work. Therefore, we need to fill the relevant personnel as soon as possible. Minister Yanli, can you tell me how many positions we need to fill now?"

"Leaders, after this incident and our newly established Binzhou Port Management Committee, Japan-Korea Industrial Park and other institutions, there are nine vacancies in the director-level positions and thirty vacancies in the deputy director-level positions. Our municipal party committee and government team is short of three people." Because they had discussed it in advance, Hou Yanli was well prepared.

Chapter 573 The right to speak on personnel, a harmonious atmosphere

"Has your organization department done a good job in personnel inspection? Tell me the details."

These lists were actually prepared a long time ago, but they were only discussed at the meeting. For these director-level cadres, Ge Jiande and Li Wujiang discussed it. For deputy director-level cadres, it was the leftovers from the two people, and then nominated by other standing committee members. Li Wujiang is not a greedy person. As long as the person nominated by the Organization Department has good ability, he will generally approve it.

"Dear leaders, the three team members who are missing are deputy department-level cadres. We only have the right to make suggestions, and the decision-making power lies with the provincial party committee." Hou Yanli said.

"Wujiang, you say, now is a critical period for Binzhou's development, your right to make suggestions is very important." Ge Jiande is quite satisfied with Li Wujiang. In the nomination process of these department-level cadres, Li Wujiang was very conscious and did not appoint people based on personal connections. In addition, he said that Li Wujiang's right to make suggestions to team members is very important, and this is indeed the case. No leading cadre in Binzhou has a stronger relationship with the province than Li Wujiang, which means that whoever Li Wujiang wants to promote, it may be that person. Others do not have this treatment.

"Secretary Ge, let me talk about it. There are so many missing members in the team, which actually affects our work efficiency. The sooner we fill them up, the better the work will be. Let me talk about the position of the director of the Binzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. Everyone knows that this position is very important and is related to the stability of a region. Therefore, the selection of the director of the Public Security Bureau is crucial."

"Oh, who does Wujiang think is most suitable for this position? This time the problem was triggered by the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so the selection is crucial, and this is also a standing committee position, in charge of the city's political and legal work." Ge Jiande actually also took a fancy to this position, and he also had a suitable candidate in his mind. After all, he was at ease only when the top leader was in charge of the gun.

"What Secretary Ge said just now was very right. The incident happened in the Public Security Bureau this time, so this candidate is very critical. Not only must he be recognized by us, but also by the province, otherwise our recommendation will be in vain."

"Mayor Li is right. Since we have the right to make suggestions, we should use this right well and not waste it in the end." Qi Shaobo said with a smile. He is now obviously a member of the Li faction, and everyone knows that he was pushed up by Li Wujiang.

"Mayor Wujiang, please stop keeping us in suspense. Who is more suitable?" Hou Yanli urged.

"Comrade Cheng Zhigang, the current executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, has performed well recently. He made great contributions in the early stage of destroying Li Xiaoguo's gang. This time, he also performed very well in the process of presiding over the work of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, ensuring the smooth passage of the entire city."

"Director Zhigang performed well, but he was appointed as the executive deputy director not long ago, and he was suddenly promoted to the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director. Isn't it a big leap?" Li Wujiang's choice was far beyond Ge Jiande's expectations.

"Secretary Ge, this is what I think. Director Zhigang comes from the provincial department, and at least he can get recognition from above. Of course, Director Zhigang's qualifications are a little young, but we can nominate Director Zhigang as the deputy mayor and director first, which is also the case in other places."

"I think Mayor Li's idea is a good one. The public security team is relatively professional, and professionals manage professional teams. This is also in line with what is advocated above. Not serving as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee can also effectively avoid excessive concentration of power."

Ge Jiande thought for a while but couldn't find a reason to overturn this matter, and finally said, "Okay, then this candidate will be chosen as Mayor Wujiang said. Then let's continue to discuss the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. What do you think?" Let's see everyone. Without saying anything, Ge Jiande cleared his throat and said, "If you don't say anything, let me mention someone, how about the current secretary-general of the army? The current secretary-general of the army has high political awareness, is a decent man, handles things fairly, has a tough style, and has a strong political and legal system." There is a big problem, and I think this kind of leadership is needed." After speaking, Ge Jiande turned his attention to Li Wujiang.

"Secretary Ge, I think the current secretary-general of the army is a good candidate. We need leadership like him during critical periods."

The two bosses agreed, and neither Qi Shaobo nor Hou Yanli had anything to say.

"Okay, let's talk about the candidate for executive deputy mayor? What do you think?" Ge Jiande thought Li Wujiang was going to speak, but he didn't expect that when he looked, Li Wujiang had no intention of speaking. Then he turned his attention to Qi Shaobo.

Qi Shaobo knew what Li Wujiang was thinking, so he said, "Secretary Ge, let me tell you that there are more projects launched in Binzhou this year than in the entire province. This year is Binzhou's investment year, and next year will be Binzhou's construction year. Binzhou The construction task is very heavy, so we need to find someone who understands economics and construction. The deputy mayor of Haibin is good. He understands economics and has strong work ability. He is a suitable candidate. "

After a round of discussion, no one found a suitable candidate, so they agreed to recommend Qu Haibin.

After a final discussion, the positions of Secretary-General and Deputy Mayor were still vacant. In the end, Ge Jiande recommended Du Gaolou as secretary-general and Bai Yang as deputy mayor from the county party committee secretary. In the end, everyone had no objection.

However, Li Wujiang believed that the provincial party committee would not completely agree with Binzhou City's arrangements. With such a big incident in Binzhou, the provincial party committee must have opinions. It is normal to transfer cadres from outside.

The result was just as Li Wujiang expected. The provincial party committee approved the appointments of Cheng Zhigang, Qu Haibin, and Du Gaolou. The secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the deputy mayor were all transferred from other places. The deputy mayor was transferred from Suizhou. Jiang Guohua greeted Li Wujiang in advance, and Li Wujiang could only express welcome at this time.

Ge Jiande was not satisfied with this result. Although the purpose of promoting Zhang Xianjun was achieved, Zhang Xianjun was no longer in Binzhou. However, Zhang Xianjun is still very satisfied. After all, he has served as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in Suizhou, the second largest city in Jining. This is also a big improvement.

The overall situation has been decided, and Binzhou has entered a new stage.

It was almost the Chinese New Year, and it was snowing heavily. Li Wujiang was taking a car and preparing to go to the airport to fly back to the capital. At this time, a small car followed him. This person was Lin Zhijiang, the boss of the Dongliang Port smuggling gang. For more than half a year, he had been hiding in a remote place, waiting for a strike at any time to avenge Li Wujiang.

At this time, Li Wujiang didn't even notice that someone was trying to hurt him. It wasn't until he stepped out of the car and walked to the airport that gunshots rang out. But the first shot missed. Li Wujiang took cover after hearing the gunfire.

Lin Zhijiang's gunfire also alerted the airport security personnel, and he was restrained just as he was about to escape.

Lin Zhijiang's gunfire shocked the entire Jining Province. Li Weiguo, Chen Baojia, Liu Huairen, and Cao Minglou immediately sent their condolences to Li Wujiang. However, Li Wujiang had returned to the capital at this time, and the matter of dealing with Lin Zhijiang was left to the Provincial Public Security Department.

Chapter 574 In troubled times, heavy hammers are needed

"Husband, Ji Ning, you can't go. Where is this place and why is there a shooting?" Fang Shuxin was frightened after knowing that Li Wujiang was almost shot.

"Honey, this is a small probability event. There is no need to worry about me. Now that this guy has been caught, I will be safer in the future." Although Li Wujiang said this, he still had lingering fears.

"You can say nice things. I think work is your life now. For the sake of work, you will soon give up our mother and son."

"Honey, I don't want anyone, and I won't want you. Look, I'm just coming back to be with you this New Year."

"Honey, should we go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year this year, or should we celebrate the New Year in the capital?"

"The old man has just been away this year, so let's stay with your parents in the capital."

"How about I send someone to bring your parents from your hometown, and we can celebrate the New Year together."

"Okay then. Thank you so much, wife, you are so thoughtful."

This year, Li Wujiang and his family happily spent a reunion year in the capital.

A new year, a new beginning, Binzhou's development has entered a full sprint. With the foundation laid in the early stage of attracting investment, Binzhou has formed a siphon effect, with investors from all over the country flocking in. The construction sites of various projects are in full swing and have entered a busy period.

"Mayor Li, this is a report submitted by the Health Bureau, saying that there have been many cases of unexplained influenza in our city." Ji Zhongyuhui reported.

At this time, Li Wujiang suddenly thought that this year would be the year of the epidemic. Once it is not controlled, it will bring disaster to the country. Ji Zhongyu went out, and Li Wujiang was thinking about how to report to the superiors. If he behaved too abruptly, it would inevitably arouse others' suspicion. The top priority now is to do a good job in Binzhou's epidemic prevention work.

Speaking of action, Li Wujiang took action immediately and convened a city-wide health system work meeting and asked the top leaders of all counties and districts to attend. At the meeting, Li Wujiang made a general mobilization and required the city to pay attention to the work of this influenza epidemic. On the one hand, we must strengthen publicity to make everyone fully aware of the harmfulness of this influenza, and wear masks when going out, and stop and persuade those who do not wear masks. On the other hand, we must do a good job in material reserves, especially reserve medical supplies, masks, etc., and distribute relevant materials free of charge to some people in need. In addition, we must issue epidemic prevention guidelines and provide Chinese medicine treatment methods for this epidemic.

Li Wujiang also emphasized at the conference that the municipal government will set up an inspection team to conduct inspections, report weekly, and severely hold those who do not obey the arrangements accountable.

Li Wujiang's arrangement caused an uproar.

"Secretary Ai, Mayor Li is not in charge of economic work, why is he suddenly paying attention to health work?" Zhang Jiang, secretary of the Fengcheng County Party Committee, asked.

"Who knows if there has been influenza A recently. Mayor Li is now focusing on the economy and people's livelihood. We just need to do it." Ai Chunsheng, secretary of the Siping County Party Committee, said.

"Your Siping County is personally managed by Mayor Li. You have projects, good economic benefits, and money. It's not the case in Fengcheng. The finance can't even pay salaries, so how can we have money to do this? Whoever wants to do it can do it." Zhang Jiang decided not to follow Li Wujiang's deployment.

"Secretary Ge, I heard that Mayor Li's current focus is on health and epidemic prevention. The comrades below are a little worried about whether it will affect economic development?" The biggest difference between Du Gaolou and Secretary General is that Du Gaolou likes to add his own ideas.

"Really? This is the government's work. Mayor Li must have his own ideas about this work."

"Secretary Ge, the key is that this is being done in a big way now. Not only does the government reserve medical supplies, but also hospitals are required to establish closed areas. For newly discovered influenza medical records, they must be isolated and treated." Du Gaolou continued to explain because he was worried that Ge Jiande didn't understand.

"Gaolou, as Secretary General, you are responsible for coordinating the work in the middle. As for how the leaders arrange and do it, it is not your concern." Ge Jiande had heard the news a long time ago. Now Binzhou City has arranged many staff to distribute masks on the street and dissuade passers-by from wearing masks when going out. He saw all of this. To be honest, he didn't understand what Li Wujiang wanted to do. But he and Li Wujiang have a relatively harmonious relationship now, and he is very relieved to leave the government work to Li Wujiang. Since he wants to do epidemic prevention, then do it, it won't affect anything.

"Yes, Secretary Ge, I understand."
