Chapter 4 two

Liu Jingfang was waiting for Xia Zhongmin's call. Tomorrow will be the deadline for the public selection examination for the organization department of the municipal party committee, counties and mayors. One of the key considerations of Dianjiang City after the thorough investigation is Xia Zhongmin, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and executive deputy mayor of Dianjiang City.Over the years, Xia Zhongmin's problem has become a persistent problem.Every motion for his promotion, every inspection of him will cause countless controversies and violent shocks.As the head of the organization at a higher level, sometimes even she herself couldn't figure out why a cadre like Xia Zhongmin couldn't be promoted!In prefecture-level cities or provincial capitals, it should not be difficult to promote an 11-year deputy director-level cadre to a director.But in Dianjiang City, it seemed to be a big hurdle.Of course, Liu Jingfang understands that it is totally different for a deputy secretary to mention an official, and a deputy secretary or deputy mayor to mention a secretary or mayor.In a county-level city, are there any government officials bigger than the county mayor, county party secretary, and city party secretary?The promotion of a mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee in a city with a population of over one million will definitely be an earth-shattering event in the local area.In today's social environment, if a leading cadre is not controversial, what kind of leading cadre is it?But Xia Zhongmin had never encountered a situation like Xia Zhongmin's in so many years.

Liu Jingfang had persuaded Xia Zhongmin many times to give him another place, but he was determined not to do it, and would rather withdraw than do it!Liu Jingfang is well aware of Xia Zhongmin's personality, if you give him a hard time, he can really do something like quitting.Liu Jingfang also knew Xia Zhongmin's purpose, he was aiming at Dianjiang, and from the day he came down, he wanted to make a career in Dengjiang.What moved Xia Zhongmin the most was that he was a person with a strong desire for power, but he did not seek to become an official.Such people are really rare in recent years, and indeed there are not many.Liu Jingfang is fully aware of this and fully understands it.So she strongly recommended Xia Zhongmin at the standing committee of the municipal party committee many times. She insisted that the arrangement for Xia Zhongmin should be done in one step, and he should be directly appointed as the secretary of the municipal party committee.If that doesn't work, get a mayor ASAP.It can't be delayed any longer, and it will be an extremely irresponsible attitude towards Cheng Jiang, Haozhou, and Xia Zhongmin himself.However, with the development of the situation, it was dragged down again and again.

Fortunately, due to the promulgation of the province's cadre system reform measures, after research by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the approval of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, Haozhou City took the lead in launching the open selection system for county (city) mayors in the province. Take out 15 department-level indicators at one time, including 5 at the county (division) level and 10 at the deputy county (division) level, and openly recruit and select county (city) mayor candidates throughout the city.All deputy county (division)-level cadres under the age of 45 and with a college degree or above are eligible to participate in the competition.Among the applicants, current county (city) cadres with outstanding political achievements, under the age of 40, and deputy county (department) level experience of more than 10 years will be given priority, and can directly apply for the examination of the mayor of the county. long candidate.

This is almost the condition set according to Xia Zhongmin's resume! Xia Zhongmin had 11 years of experience as a deputy department, two years in the Provincial Youth League Committee, four years in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, six years as Deputy Secretary of the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee, and more than half a year as the Executive Deputy Mayor. He is 38 years old and has a college degree. , are optimal conditions.Therefore, Liu Jingfang believed that this was definitely a rare opportunity for Xia Zhongmin.This public selection completely avoided man-made complicated factors, so it jumped out of the vortex of contradictions and disputes.At that time, not only experts, scholars and public representatives will participate in the assessment, but also the comprehensive situation of the selected candidates will be publicized through newspapers and TV media.That said, all operations and procedures will be as fully disclosed as possible.All of this will be extremely beneficial to Xia Zhongmin who is dominated by public opinion.At the same time, in order to ensure that there are no accidents in the public selection of county (city) mayors, the Organization Department of the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee submitted a research decision to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to conduct organizational inspections in advance of a group of outstanding cadres who are candidates for the examination. Xia Zhongmin is one of them one of.If he can stand out in the public selection and be more ideal in the organizational inspection, then for Xia Zhongmin, it will be a new level, and it will be a decisive breakthrough in his career as a cadre.Especially before Dian Jiang was about to change his term, Xia Zhongmin would naturally become the mayor's candidate. Participating in the mayor's election at the municipal people's congress was almost a double insurance.

Dianjiang City is affiliated to Haozhou City and is a municipality under the jurisdiction of Haozhou City.For Haozhou City, the location of Dianjiang City is very important.Dianjiang City is not only a key industrial area and a large tax-paying area in Haozhou, but also a key economic system reform experimental area in the entire province.Annual output value of billions, profits and taxes of 600 to 700 million, two well-known listed companies, nearly ten brand products sold all over the country, and a high-tech industry with great development potential and forward-looking, and It is also an amphibious transportation hub extending in all directions, connecting one waterway, two national highways, and four main railway lines.

For Haozhou City, such a city is naturally too important.It is so important that the previous leaders of the municipal party committee and government, and even the leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, have always looked up and down and been cautious about the personnel arrangements here. Liu Jingfang is one of the cadres in the leadership of the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee who are particularly optimistic about Xia Zhongmin. Liu Jingfang is 45 years old this year. Before coming to Haozhou, she was the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee.Ten years ago, when Xia Zhongmin was working in the Youth League Provincial Committee, they had been colleagues for two years.At that time, she was the deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Youth League Committee, and Xia Zhongmin was the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Youth League Committee.Then Xia Zhongmin was transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and she was promoted to Secretary-General of the Provincial Youth League Committee not long after.Later, she was again promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Youth League Committee.Not long after, she was transferred to Haozhou City and appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of the Organization Department.

In a big city with a population of nearly 8 million, being in charge of the organizational work of two districts and 17 counties and cities is no small matter.What's more, she did a great job, and it was rumored that she would be the new deputy secretary of the Haozhou Municipal Party Committee, and she might be a strong contender for the mayor of Haozhou City. For Liu Jingfang to come to this point, Xia Zhongmin is one of the people she is grateful from the bottom of her heart. To be honest, when Xia Zhongmin was working with her, she didn't have a good impression of Xia Zhongmin.Xia Zhongmin gave her the impression that firstly, he was courageous but unreasonable, and secondly, that he had a capable style but no fun.Dry, hard, cold, and sometimes simply unreasonable.However, because they are not in the same department, there are not many opportunities to really deal with each other, so there is no major conflict between the two, it's just that the impression is a little different.According to Liu Jingfang's feeling, Xia Zhongmin's impression of her would not be much better.

Just when Xia Zhongmin was about to be transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Liu Jingfang was also faced with the opportunity to be promoted from Deputy Department to Director, that is, from the former Deputy Secretary-General of the Youth League Provincial Committee to Secretary-General.Because the secretary-general at that time, like Xia Zhongmin, would also be transferred to the provincial party committee at the same time.At that time, there was still a vacancy in the Provincial Youth League Committee, that is, the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Youth League Committee had been promoted to deputy secretary of the Provincial Youth League Committee.The vacant Minister of Organization of the Youth League Provincial Committee is also a current position.

At that time, Xia Zhongmin, the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Youth League Committee, was not only the recommender of the leaders of the department, but also the observer of these cadres who were about to be promoted.At that time, Liu Jingfang had a vague feeling that it was impossible for Xia Zhongmin to say anything good to her during this inspection.But in the end, everything was peaceful, unexpectedly peaceful.For two months before and after, nothing happened from beginning to end.She had met Xia Zhongmin several times, and both of them were very polite, and the greeting was over.Two months later, Liu Jingfang was successfully promoted to Secretary-General of the Youth League Provincial Committee.After receiving the official notice, Liu Jingfang breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that she did not encounter any major disturbances during this adjustment, at least no one spoke ill of her.However, it was not until about three or four months after Xia Zhongmin's polls were conducted that she learned by chance that Xia Zhongmin not only did not speak ill of her during that cadre inspection, but also strongly recommended her to be a member of the Organization Department of the Youth League Provincial Committee. Minister's first person!In the letter of recommendation from the inspection team, Xia Zhongmin strongly recommended her in all aspects, thinking that she has a stable personality, rigorous style of work, clear distinction between right and wrong, and strong principles. She is a rare candidate for the leadership of the organization department.

When Liu Jingfang got the news, it was like being slapped, and she stood there for a long time! She never dreamed that Xia Zhongmin would have such an evaluation of her!When I thought of all the guesses I had about Xia Zhongmin back then, I couldn't help being in a daze. After that, Xia Zhongmin was transferred to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and there was almost no communication between them.I remember one Spring Festival, she made a special call to Xia Zhongmin to express her gratitude to him by paying New Year's greetings, but he still seemed so indifferent, and even didn't remember these things.He also said that this was mainly due to organizational considerations. As for her recommendation, he said lightly that it was the consensus of everyone and had nothing to do with him directly.Putting down the phone, she felt indescribably bored.How could this person be like this!I am also really, simply asking for fun.But after thinking about it, you will soon be relieved. If you put it on someone else, you don’t know how to thank him.Xia Zhongmin has this kind of temper, why should you compete with his temper!Maybe that's what he really thought when he said this. If the organization department is full of people like Xia Zhongmin, don't you people who work below feel lucky and at ease?

Three years later, Liu Jingfang was successfully promoted to deputy secretary of the Youth League Provincial Committee.After serving as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Provincial Committee for one year, she was transferred to Haozhou City, where she served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee and Minister of Organization. What made Liu Jingfang feel lucky and at ease was that Xia Zhongmin was actually one of the main members of the inspection team in the two pre-promotion organizational inspections!Of course, the results of the inspection did not say anything. Although there were resistance and objections, Liu Jingfang was very pleased that because Xia Zhongmin understood the situation, the interference was eliminated one by one. It can be said that there was no danger. Liu Jingfang was really moved.Especially when I heard that Xia Zhongmin had argued for her many times when he was summarizing the results of the investigation and reporting to the organization department, and even overturned the opinions of higher-level leaders more than once, which made her secretly cry more than once. This kind of touching is unforgettable and has been with her for such a long time.Since she came down to the grassroots level, over the years, whenever she came across cadres for inspections, she couldn't help but think of the touch that came from Xia Zhongmin back then. The issue of cadres has become an increasingly sensitive topic over the years. As an organization minister, pressure and resistance come from all directions.Especially in the past few years, once there is a vacancy, a large number of people will immediately feel that they are about to face opportunities for promotion, and the ensuing competition will become more and more cruel and fierce.No matter who it is, on the one hand, there will always be a force behind him shouting and shouting, circling around, united to push him up; Get him down!It's like a war!Often before the war started, the gunpowder was already filled with smoke and the sound of artillery was rumbling. Liu Jingfang, who has a deep understanding of this aspect, has called for this aspect more than once on various occasions: the cadre system must be reformed as soon as possible, especially the cadre selection mechanism has reached the point where it must be changed.Openness, fairness and fairness are indispensable!The foundation of cadre management is transparency first, transparency second, and transparency third!If there is no transparency, openness, fairness, and fairness in the promotion of cadres, and blindly operate in secret, the final result will only lead to the marketization of cadre promotion and the marketization of cadre relations!However, the marketization of cadre promotion and the marketization of cadre relations will inevitably become the source of corruption and the first of all evils! Liu Jingfang wholeheartedly agrees that the municipal party committee can come up with 15 county (department)-level indicators and openly select county (city) mayors within the city.Although this kind of public examination selection is still a kind of exploration and trial, but in any case, this is a big step forward.For Liu Jingfang, who has been in charge of the organization work for so many years, it is really necessary to introduce policies in this area.Otherwise, she really won't be able to hold on any longer, because no matter how determined you are, you can't stand this kind of overwhelming shaking for years and months.Dripping water wears away rocks, even if you are really a copper pea, how long can you survive under the endless blows from all directions?Without a perfect system, even the best cadres will slowly collapse.Conversely, a good mechanism is the greatest protection for cadres. As of today, in the whole city, the total number of registrations has exceeded 200, and the number of direct registrations at the county (city) level is also close to 100! On the one hand, the number of applicants is so spectacular, on the other hand, all kinds of gossip rumors are pouring in, overwhelming.Some people even spread the news that at least half of these 15 indicators have already been determined by default, and the candidates for the five county (city) mayors have already been determined. The five people even have names and surnames. The candidate for the mayor of Gucheng City is the current executive deputy secretary Wu Bin, and the candidate for the mayor of Dianjiang City is naturally the current deputy secretary and executive deputy mayor Xia Zhongmin!As one of the main judges of this public selection examination, Liu Jingfang could only laugh at such gossip and didn't take it seriously at all.In fact, she had heard too many rumors like this one after working as an organization minister for many years.This seems to have become a rule, the more critical the juncture, the more such rumors, and the more you care about it, the more troublesome it will be, so that it will make a lot of trouble in the city, make a fuss, and even make you waste all your previous efforts and have to end it hastily .However, Liu Jingfang felt completely different this time. No matter how noisy people were, she had been paying close attention to the registration status of this open selection with seriousness, urgency, and sensitivity.In her mind, there were a few people who absolutely had to report, and Xia Zhongmin was one of them!If cadres like Xia Zhongmin did not apply for this public selection, then this public selection test would almost be meaningless! Tomorrow before 12:00 noon is the deadline for registration. However, until now, it is almost 8:00 pm. Liu Jingfang has checked the registration registers, even the registration registers of cadres who are registered in Haozhou and work outside the province. Xia Zhongmin's name was nowhere to be seen. Not only did Xia Zhongmin fail to sign up, but until now, she, the head of the organization who was in charge of signing up, hadn't even been able to find Xia Zhongmin's shadow.Those half-hearted applicants, asking one another to ask another, interceded almost one after another, but Xia Zhongmin, the most qualified, powerful, and most deserving applicant, has not shown up until now!If Xia Zhongmin hadn't signed up, in her eyes, the public selection exam would have been more than half a failure, at least in Haozhou City. For a whole afternoon, no, almost a whole day, she made countless phone calls to the Dianjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, asking them to find Xia Zhongmin no matter what, and once they found Xia Zhongmin, they must ask him to call her back immediately. However, until now, not only had she not waited for Xia Zhongmin's call, but she hadn't even been able to find out where Xia Zhongmin had gone. The most irritating thing was Xia Zhongmin's driver. Not only did he not know where Xia Zhongmin was going, but he also said something to her in a daze. Our Mayor Xia said that he never thought about the examiner at all. Nonsense!Liu Jingfang was furious immediately, you have to be responsible for saying such things, do you understand?Pay attention to your identity, is there anyone like you as a driver? The driver said very aggrieved, I haven't seen him for almost a day, everyone scolded me, my mobile phone was blown up, but I really don't know where he went... Before the driver finished speaking, she couldn't stop yelling, "Listen carefully!"You have been waiting for me to hear from him!When he comes back, let him call me back immediately!You tell him, even if it is 3 o'clock in the morning, I will wait for him!
