The Pinnacle of Power: Rapid Promotions Starting from the Old Cadre Bureau

Chapter 256 Openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass

Wu Maocai's words are very insightful.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Xiao Zhikai's face after hearing this.

Originally, Xiao Zhikai had high hopes for Dawei.

He was very happy to hear that Xu Aiguo wanted to transfer him to be the county party secretary and work with Dawei.

Everything was at Xu Aiguo's request.

During their meeting, Xu Aiguo hinted to Xiao Zhikai that he should take control of the situation in Yuanshan County.

On the surface, we should support Dawei's work and cooperate well;

But secretly, we also need to keep an eye on Dawei's movements.

This also made Dawei realize that he needed to stay close to Xu Aiguo in order to stay in Yuanshan County for a long time.

To put it bluntly, it means that Dawei needs to explicitly acknowledge Xu Aiguo's allegiance and take the initiative to get closer to him.

"My silly niece has had her eye on him for a long time."

I don't know what evil spirit has possessed me.

Judging from her attitude, she's going to practically throw herself at Dawei; her heart has already flown to Yuanshan County.

Dawei is a very thoughtful person.

They've been dragging their feet on this matter, not giving a clear answer.

There's nothing else to say.

That's the thing I'm not very satisfied with.

I can only feel at ease when he marries my niece.

Xu Aiguo's plan was for the long term, and his help was indeed tireless, but he did not do it without expecting anything in return.

Dawei only accepted help but didn't give a definite answer, which made Xu Aiguo uneasy.

Xu Aiguo provided a solution: controlling Wu Maocai would effectively sideline Chen Dawei.

That's why the conversation between the two of them just now took place.

"Is the person behind Dawei in Kyoto?" Xiao Zhikai suddenly asked.

Wu Maocai chuckled and remained silent.

Actually, both of them guessed who it was.

"Maocai..." Xiao Zhikai's voice softened: "I was put on the hot seat."

I was a bit impatient just now, please don't blame me.

My transfer has already been discussed with several bigwigs in the province.

I think it's highly likely.

But you said...

If I'm really transferred there, what should I do?

How can I mediate between Minister Xu and County Chief Chen?

On the surface, Yuanshan County needs to achieve political results, so I definitely need to maintain a good relationship with the county government; otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to my superiors.

Secretly, I also had to complete the task assigned by Minister Xu, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it to him.

Everyone says you're quick-witted.

I'm asking you for advice.

Xiao Zhikai actually clasped his hands in a sincere gesture of respect to Wu Maocai.

Wu Maocai was startled and quickly helped Xiao Zhikai up, saying, "No, you're making me feel terrible."

If you ask me...

Let's just use a feint to covertly advance our own territory while secretly advancing our own.

Xiao Zhikai looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"To repair Minister Xu's plank road, and secretly cross County Magistrate Chen's Chencang pass."

You'd better hold on tight.

It's impossible to do both.

Between Minister Xu and County Head Chen, who is younger, who has a brighter future, who has a stronger background, and who is more capable?

You'll understand once you do the math.

Minister Xu's request shows that he has already foreseen his future, knows that he can't go far, and will start thinking about retiring in a few years.

Why was he in such a hurry to marry his niece to County Magistrate Chen?

Isn't that all in preparation for retirement?

This further demonstrates that Minister Xu also has high hopes for County Magistrate Chen and is confident that County Magistrate Chen will be promoted in the future.

Wu Maocai leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "He's just using you as cannon fodder."

Even if County Magistrate Chen complies with your scheme, he will still harbor resentment.

Later, County Chief Chen couldn't vent his resentment. He couldn't very well bang on the table with his wife's uncle or the leader who had helped him before, could he?

In the end, they'll take you out and settle scores with you.

We both know his methods.

Can you handle it?

To protect himself and his niece, Xu Aiguo would definitely say it was your idea, that it had nothing to do with him, and would immediately sell you out, never protecting you.

You might as well just go along with him.

I'll find an opportunity to tell County Chief Chen about what happened behind the scenes.

County Chief Chen will find a way to deal with him.

We should be working for County Chief Chen, not for anyone in the provincial capital.

The younger generation is the future.

Xiao Zhikai gave a long "hmm," indicating he was persuaded.

Upon closer reflection, it's clear that Minister Xu did indeed treat him as a pawn.

Minister Xu simply misjudged Wu Maocai, thinking that Wu Maocai would definitely listen to him, Xu Aiguo, and Xiao Zhikai.

If Wu Maocai had really compromised and conspired with Xiao Zhikai to scheme against Dawei, he might have ended up being retaliated against by Dawei.

Since everyone is betting on Chen Dawei, why doesn't Xiao Zhikai follow suit?

"You mean, I'll go along with Director Xu's wishes and drag it out."

First, cook the raw rice into cooked rice, and then settle into your position.

After a while, when Director Xu was about to retire, the matter was simply dropped.

Relationships between men and women are not child's play.

Even if we try our best, it's all in vain if the two young people are unwilling.

I believe County Chief Chen will be able to handle his relationship with Tingting flexibly.

Wu Maocai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, do it this way."

"That……"

"You don't need to say anything, and I didn't hear anything either. I will coordinate this matter with County Chief Chen. You can just wait to take office with peace of mind—we must trust him, just as he trusts us."

Xiao Zhikai reached out and shook hands firmly with Wu Maocai.

They each got into their cars.

The car headed towards Meihua City.

Wu Maocai sat in the back seat, smoking incessantly.

Lin Yunxing glanced at the rearview mirror several times: "Brother Cai, it's rare for you to come out."

Should we go straight back to the county, or...?

Wu Maocai checked the time and thought about how long it had been since he had relaxed: "Where can I go if I don't go back?"

Xiaotang Town was completely wiped out.

Old Tan, the Party Secretary of Xiaotang Town, was summoned for questioning by Yao Zhan yesterday.

The town of Xiaotang is now a desolate wasteland, and the remaining young women are hiding in fear.

Let's go home...

I just wanted to have some fun, but there was nowhere to go.

When Lin Yunxing was chatting with Zheng Zhiguo, he heard that Chen Xianping, who used to work at the Xiapu branch, had been transferred to Qinghe City and was now a manager at a farm.

The farm owner is Zheng Zhiguo's former bureau chief.

There's something inside.

"We're now in Qinghe City."

I heard there's a nice, safe place.

Want to relax a bit?

Wu Maocai sat up straight, intrigued: "What kind of place is it? What's the boss's background?"

After Lin Lao Er explained the situation, Wu Mao Cai immediately laughed, punched Lin Lao Er on the shoulder and said, "Good lad."

You've become sensible.

Let's go take a look.

Captain Chen was a friend of ours before. He's been transferred to be a manager now, so there's no reason for us not to go and support him.

He rummaged through his pockets and asked, "Second brother, did you bring any money?"

My wife keeps a tight rein on me, and I'm short of money.
