Chapter 404 There are no permanent enemies in officialdom
Seeing that Yuan Jin was very enthusiastic, Wu Zhiyuan said, "Secretary Yuan, since you asked, I'll share some preliminary thoughts. Please correct me if anything is not yet fully developed."
I believe that adjustments should first and foremost serve the overall situation and be planned and deployed around the county's next development priorities.
I've been working on industry projects and initiatives lately, and I feel there's a mismatch between manpower and capabilities in several key areas.
He paused for a moment, observing Yuan Jin's reaction. Seeing that she nodded slightly, he continued, "For example, the County Development and Reform Commission. This is the central hub of the county's economic work; planning, projects, and investments all originate from here."
However, I think the current team's strength, especially the leadership with expertise in industry and macroeconomics, can be strengthened.
Cadres like Comrade Zhou Tianwen have worked in the Development and Reform Commission for many years, are familiar with the situation in the county, and have solid professional skills. If we can give them more responsibilities, they should be able to play a greater role.
This is just one example; there are probably other similar cadres in the economic and agricultural sectors.
Yuan Jin remained calm, tapping her fingers lightly on the table, and asked, "With the National Development and Reform Commission's leadership team, it's only a year or two before Old Chen reaches the age limit. It's necessary to consider the successor in advance."
Comrade Tianwen is a suitable candidate. Are there any other considerations?
Wu Zhiyuan then mentioned some other people.
His idea was to have Wei Zhiliang, the head of the county statistics bureau, return to the county finance bureau as its head.
Wei Zhiliang was one of the three people recommended by Ding Yiyi.
Lu Xinghua also spoke highly of him.
Wu Zhiyuan had also observed Wei Zhiliang and felt that he was more suitable for the county finance bureau.
However, he also knew that Yuan Jin had previously worked in the Finance Bureau, and the County Finance Bureau was his base of operations.
Fortunately, Yuan Jin is about to be promoted.
Otherwise, this proposal has absolutely no chance of being passed.
Wu Zhiyuan planned to appoint Sun Xiuying as the director of the county's agricultural bureau.
Sun Xiuying graduated from the Tea Science major at the Provincial Agricultural University and went to the Agricultural Bureau, which was a job that matched her major.
The plan is to appoint Wang Hao, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Discipline Inspection Commission, as the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee.
The Organization Department is responsible for managing cadres, so it must have its own people.
With Liu Jingjing at the helm, Wuhe Town is seeing new progress in all aspects of its work.
He Yeshan, the mayor of Wuhe Town, is excellent in every way, and Wu Zhiyuan plans to appoint him as the director of the county transportation bureau.
In addition, we should have our own people in key positions in other county-level units and key townships.
This was a pre-arranged plan before Liang Dongming came to Qingyan.
Finally, Wu Zhiyuan mentioned the arrangements for Liu Yun and Liao Shanshan.
But this is a sensitive issue.
Because Liao Shanshan used to be Yuan Jin's lover.
Liu Yun was also Yuan Jin's lover.
If Yuan Jin were to proactively mention promoting Liao Shanshan, he would know that Liao Shanshan had sided with Wu Zhiyuan.
But if we don't promote Liao Shanshan, we'll be letting her down.
Qingyan Hotel is a state-owned enterprise with a deputy section-level administrative structure.
Liu Yun enjoys the benefits of a deputy section chief.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't mention Liao Shanshan first, but said that Liu Yun had been in charge of the hotel for several years and it was time for a change.
Yuan Jin was taken aback. Why would Wu Zhiyuan bring up Liu Yun on his own initiative?
He stared at Wu Zhiyuan and asked, "Zhiyuan, what are Liu Yun's plans?"
Wu Zhiyuan was prepared and said calmly, "Secretary Yuan, Comrade Liu Yun has been in the position of hotel manager for several years. Even if she has not made any great contributions, she has certainly worked hard."
However, as you know, the hotel's business situation in recent years has been poor, with declining profits, decreased employee income, and a decline in service quality.
Comrade Liu Yun's abilities have probably reached their limit. Keeping her in the manager position any longer would not be good for her, the hotel, or the county's reception work.
My idea is to send Liu Yun to the County Government Affairs Management Center as deputy director.
Yuan Jin asked calmly, "Then who will replace the hotel manager?"
"Secretary Yuan, what do you think of Liao Shanshan?"
I've had a few interactions with Liao Shanshan and I feel that she is young, energetic, and has a broad perspective. She has some new ideas about catering services and internal management.
Most importantly, she is familiar with the hotel business, so if she takes over, the transition will be smooth and normal operations will not be affected.
Yuan Jin's mind raced.
Wu Zhiyuan took the initiative to adjust Liu Yun's position and promote Liao Shanshan. Is there any connection between these actions?
Liu Yun is his person, and Liao Shanshan is also his person.
However, in his recent interactions, he vaguely sensed that Liao Shanshan was somewhat different.
The last time they were at the resort, she used her period as an excuse to reject him, which was the first time he could recall doing so.
When a woman starts rejecting you, it's either because she's tired of you or because she's found someone new to rely on.
Wu Zhiyuan wanted to promote Liao Shanshan. Was it because Liao Shanshan took the initiative to side with Wu Zhiyuan, or did Wu Zhiyuan sense something and do it deliberately?
Is promoting Liao Shanshan a gesture of goodwill, or is it a sign of instigation?
Yuan Jin said calmly, "Zhiyuan, I agree with your suggestion in principle."
However, personnel adjustments should not only consider one or two positions, but should take a holistic approach.
Let's come up with a plan for the locations you just mentioned, along with the hotel's.
Let's have a small group meeting of five to get a heads-up first, and then discuss and approve it at the next meeting of the county party committee standing committee.
I'll have Bao Chunyan come over later and discuss it with her.
Bao Chunyan is a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the Minister of Organization.
Seeing that Yuan Jin basically agreed with the personnel adjustment suggestions, Wu Zhiyuan felt reassured.
He knew that Yuan Jin's current mindset was indeed as Lin Xue had said: on the eve of her promotion, she prioritized stability and did not want any unexpected complications at the last minute.
At this point, as long as you don't cross any lines when offering work suggestions, Yuan Jin will most likely agree.
He wanted Yuan Jin to truly serve him before leaving, to help him advance several major projects, and to make Yuan Jin feel that supporting Wu Zhiyuan's work was creating political achievements for Yuan Jin himself and paving the way for his promotion.
"Secretary Yuan, there are two more things I'd like to hear your opinion on." Wu Zhiyuan changed the subject, shifting from personnel adjustments to specific work.
Yuan Jin was in a good mood and nodded, saying, "Zhiyuan, go ahead."
"The second thing is about the wildlife park project."
The Municipal Investment Group is the main investor in this project. I have contacted Xu Enpei several times, and he supports it in principle. However, the final site selection still needs to be evaluated by the city.
Wuhe Town has both advantages and disadvantages.
Its advantages are abundant natural resources and low land costs; its disadvantages are poor transportation infrastructure.
I think if Secretary Yuan could step forward and submit a special report to the municipal party committee and government on behalf of the county party committee,
We should thoroughly explain the advantages of Wuhe Town, fully demonstrate Qingyan's sincerity, and invite the Municipal Investment Group and relevant municipal departments to conduct an on-site inspection of Qingyan.
Let them see for themselves the natural resources and transportation conditions of Wuhe Town; their chances of winning will be much greater.
Yuan Jin began to make plans in her mind.
If the wildlife park project is located in Wuhe Town, it will be a major boon to the tourism industry in Qingyan and the development of Wuhe Town.
More importantly, once this project is implemented, it will be a tangible achievement for the government.
As for Yuan Jin, the county party secretary, having such a trump card at this crucial moment when he was about to be promoted made things much easier for him when the inspection team came down.
"Zhiyuan, your idea is excellent. The wildlife park project is indeed a breakthrough for Qingyan to develop its cultural tourism industry."
Regarding the invitation to the Municipal Investment Group to conduct an inspection, I personally took the lead and formally sent a letter in the name of the County Party Committee and the County Government.
If necessary, I can go to the city government to report to Secretary Wu Bao and seek his support.
Wu Zhiyuan was secretly delighted.
Yuan Jin took the initiative to report to Wu Bao, which was unexpected.
Wu Bao is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and the Municipal Party Secretary, so his support carries significant weight.
"Secretary Yuan, with you involved, this matter will be much easier to handle."
I was worried that running alone wouldn't provide enough power.
Yuan Jin waved her hand: "Zhiyuan, you are the county head, and you are in charge of economic work, but I am the secretary, and I am responsible for the work of the entire county."
You're running around for projects and attracting investment, which is helping me out. How could I not support you?
"Don't worry, I will do my best for anything that benefits the development of Qingyan."
That was a well-chosen statement; it both expressed their stance and gave Wu Zhiyuan face.
Wu Zhiyuan naturally understood.
"Secretary Yuan, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you," Wu Zhiyuan said tentatively.
"What is it?"
"I would like to ask Secretary Yuan to take some time to go with me to Xunfeng Motors to visit Zhou Qiming in person."
Your personal visit represents the county committee's attitude, which is more effective than me going ten times.
Moreover, if we can persuade Zhou Qiming to bring Xunfeng Automobile's parts industrial park here, the long-term development of Qingyan will be of immeasurable significance.
Yuan Jin remained silent for a few seconds, her mind racing.
If we can get Zhou Qiming to return to his hometown to invest, that would be a huge achievement.
Zhou Qiming is a nationally renowned entrepreneur. When he returns to his hometown to invest, the provincial media will report on it, and provincial leaders will also pay attention.
This will only benefit him, and not harm him.
Yuan Jin agreed: "Okay, you arrange the time, and we'll go together."
However, you need to do your homework before you go.
We went there to investigate and visit some fellow villagers who are working hard in other places.
Let's not talk about investment promotion or projects; we can just make a picture album about the development and changes in Qingyan County over the past few years and bring it with us.
Then compile a separate document detailing the current situation of Zhoujia Village, especially the before-and-after photos of the renovation of his parents' graves and the preservation of the old house.
When we met, instead of inviting Mr. Zhou to invest in his hometown, we asked him to visit his hometown, take a look around, and offer some suggestions for its development.
We wanted him to feel that we weren't there for the money or investment, but for him as a person and for his connection to his hometown.
Wu Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly: "Secretary Yuan, this is a good idea. I originally thought the same thing, but it carries more weight because it was proposed by you."
I've instructed the publicity department and the media convergence center to expedite the process of creating the brochure and produce a draft as soon as possible.
The photos of Zhoujia Village have been taken. We'll add some aerial footage and make a short video, which we'll bring on a tablet to play on-site for a more intuitive experience.
Yuan Jin nodded in satisfaction: "Okay. I trust you to handle things. You set the time, just let me know in advance. But it can't be too late."
In the past few days, we have first held a five-person group meeting and a meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.
Seeing that the time was right, Wu Zhiyuan stood up and said, "Secretary Yuan, I have learned a lot working under you."
No matter what position you hold in the future, you will always be my former boss.
Yuan Jin was pleased to hear this and smiled, saying, "Zhiyuan, we are comrades in the same team, so it is only right that we support and help each other."
Go ahead and do it; I'll protect you and ensure your success.
As Wu Zhiyuan walked out of Yuan Jin's office, a weight was lifted from his heart.
He knew that Yuan Jin agreed so readily not because she had suddenly changed her mind, but because their interests aligned.
He wanted political achievements, and so did Yuan Jin; he wanted to advance his work, and Yuan Jin needed to accumulate more political capital before leaving. Each got what they needed, and they quickly reached an agreement.
That's how politics is: there are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only permanent interests.
All he could do was make the most of the available resources and push forward the work during this window of opportunity before Yuan Jin left.
