Chapter 610: Chapter 610: I am extremely unwilling
Often, before the authoritative news from the organisation department has even had time to wear its shoes, the \'rumours\' have already spread all over the city. And as it often turns out, these \'rumours\' are more often than not identical twins of the authoritative news, looking almost exactly the same.
Sometimes, you really can\'t blame the organisation department for not being able to keep a secret. It\'s just that there are too many experts in the private sector, and they can really deduce something from reading the newspaper, watching the TV news, and combining it with some personnel changes in the department.
So, during this first month of the lunar year, Wang Ganqing, the mayor of Wuli\'ao, was still counting up the various gains his family had made over the past Spring Festival with his wife, looking forward to this year\'s Spring Festival, when the family\'s income would continue to grow at several times the GDP growth rate, when he got the news that the organisation was going to make adjustments to the cadres in the town.
He sat there with his phone in his hand, a little dazed. His wife nagged him about who had given him the most substantial gifts and who had been the most insincere, and he refused to listen to her when she said that he should be stricter at work.
Adjusting the \'main leadership\' of the town? Main leadership? Aren\'t you talking about the secretary and me?
\'Stop nagging,\' he interrupted his wife impatiently, and immediately dialed the phone number of the county magistrate Zhao. \'Old leader, do you have time tomorrow? I want to report to you about this year\'s work arrangements,\'
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. \'Maybe later. It\'s just that things are busy now that work has resumed normally,\'
which seemed to confirm the rumours. Wang Ganqing became even more uneasy. "But, old leader, there have been some rumours in town recently, and the comrades have been distracted from their work when they hear them,\'
the county head raised his voice. "You\'re also an old party member, and you\'re distracted from your work when there are some rumours? Is this the kind of fighting spirit you have as a team?\'
However, Wang Ganqing is after all his trusted subordinate. \'You must trust the organisation. Especially in the past two years, the work in the town has been very effective, and everyone can see it. Now, you must work even more diligently to get the job done,\'
Wang Ganqing felt bitter when he heard this. Previously, he had been actively campaigning to be transferred to the county, but now, unless he was made a county leader, he really didn\'t want to leave this place, which was developing more and more.
\'I trust the old leader, it\'s just that...\' He wanted to complain a little more, but then County Head Zhao reminded him, \'Spend more time paying attention to some of the developments down there. Some of the enterprises in the town will make big moves this year,\'
Wang Ganqing understood what he was saying. The enterprises that the county head said would make big moves were obviously Jiasheng!
It must be that son of a bitch Huang Chengzhong, trying to take over himself! He made this judgment in the first moment. How long have you been deputy mayor, for fuck\'s sake? Aren\'t you being a bit too impatient?
Wang Ganqing felt angry and frustrated. He stood up angrily, but then sat back down again. Going to see Huang Chengzhong now would be useless, except for causing a scene like a shrew.
He called his driver Xiao Su to his home and gave him some instructions. The gist was to collect all sorts of information on Huang Chengzhong. If I\'m not doing well, I won\'t let you get away with it either.
As soon as Xiao Su left the house, Wang Ganqing told his wife, \'Pick me up a few of the best things,\'
\'Oh, are you going to the county again?\'
\'To Fengjiachong,\'
his wife immediately refused, \'What good things can you take to Fengjiachong?\'
\'Just do as you\'re told, you meddling old woman, why are you talking so much nonsense?\' Wang Ganqing, unable to find a place to vent his anger, picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it onto the floor.
As soon as the car pulled out onto the street, he saw Huang Jingping in front of him, carrying a basket of groceries. He had stopped the car and waited for a while, and then said gently, \'Jingping, I\'m going to Yiping\'s house now. Do you want to come along?\'
\'I just got back a few days ago, and besides, if you\'re going, it must be for something important,\' Huang Jingping said with a smile.
\'Haha, that\'s true. You should hurry and stay at your mother\'s for a few more days. But you can\'t stay at home for too long either. It\'s not good to leave Yiping alone in the capital without anyone to take care of him,\'
\'Yes, I\'ll go after the first month of the lunar year,\'
At noon, Huang Chengzhong returned home for lunch, and Huang Jingping told him about it. \'Dad, the town mayor went to see Uncle Feng. What\'s going on?\'
Huang Chengzhong thought about it for a moment and understood what was going on. \'You don\'t need to worry. It\'s not going to do any good for him to go,\'
Before going to work, Huang Chengzhong went to his wife\'s shop and sat there, smoking and not saying a word.
\'You say you don\'t care, but you can\'t let it go,\' Huang\'s mother said. \'Think about it, how much better is our life now than it was a year ago? Besides, just because you\'re put in the position of mayor, does that mean you can do a good job? Even if you do, you\'re already so old, how many years do you have left?\'
\'Yes, I know that being deputy mayor now is not a leadership position, so there is not much pressure and you don\'t have to take on too much responsibility. You are in charge of industry, which happens to take care of Yiping\'s family\'s affairs, which is pretty good. But if you say I\'m not the least bit jealous of that position, I really can\'t do it,\' Huang Chengzhong said.
\'You also have to understand Yiping and their family. Last year, you were just promoted to deputy mayor, and this year they want to make you mayor. The impact on you and on them is not good,\'
\'I understand the reasoning, but deep down, I really do hope it happens,\' Huang Chengzhong said with a bitter smile. Seeing that his wife still wanted to say something, he waved his hand, "Don\'t worry, I\'m just complaining with you, it\'s fine,\'
Feng Jiacong and Feng Zhenchang saw Wang Ganqing, who was red in the face from drinking, get into the car, and said to the factory director driving the car, "Be careful on the road,\'
\'Brother Feng,\' Wang Ganqing grabbed his hand despite the presence of others, \'if there\'s a chance, please say a few words for me,\'
\'Don\'t worry, I\'ll help if I can,\'
said Feng Zhenchang, who had been saying the same thing ever since Wang Ganqing had come to the door today with a big gift. As for actually helping Wang Ganqing keep his position as mayor, Feng Zhenchang would do it if he could, but he wouldn\'t.
Last Chinese New Year, when his son brought up the issue with him, he mentioned the saying, \'Attitude determines everything.\'
Although Wang Ganqing didn\'t cause any more trouble last year, and he would occasionally give him a call, he did it purely because the leaders above him were pressuring him to do so, and he didn\'t really want to help.
Through some things, Feng Zhenchang also understood this person. In Wang Ganqing\'s heart, these companies of theirs are just sheep that can be fleeced all the time. Now that there is an intentional adjustment from above, how could he possibly help Wang Ganqing with such a good thing?
He asked shamelessly today, but a few years ago, Feng Zhenchang, who was still carrying a hoe and farming, kept joking with him. Wang Ganqing secretly resented him.
However, he did not show it at all. He knew very clearly that, having come to this point, even if he could not use the Feng family as an ally, he must not make enemies with them.
In his heart, he was vaguely blaming County Magistrate Zhao. After serving him for so many years, with so much filial piety, he did not even pull him through at such a critical time.
However, he was equally afraid to show such resentment. After rushing back from the Feng family, the next day he drove to the county by himself.
This time, he did not go directly to County Magistrate Zhao, but first found some people to get some information from the side. However, no one knew anything for sure. Everyone knew that Wuli\'ao Town was going to be restructured, but no one knew exactly how, whether he would definitely have to go, or who would replace him.
He had spent a lot of money and made a lot of personal connections, but all he had gotten in return was useless information. Wang Ganqing felt a little annoyed, but he didn\'t have much time to be angry. Judging from the reactions of these people today, his position as a local warlord would not last much longer.
He stubbed out the cigarette on the ground and went to the bank to withdraw two stacks of cash.
\'Mayor Wang, you don\'t need to be so polite with me,\' said Xiao Yan, the secretary of County Magistrate Zhao, as he kept refusing to take the bulging envelope.
\'Take it, Yan. You\'ve helped me a lot before, and I\'ll need your help in the future,\' said Wang Ganqing.
Yan weighed the envelope in his hands, then expertly slipped it into his bag. "Wang, don\'t blame the county chief. To be honest, it\'s the town\'s development that\'s too good this time. He pointed upwards. "It\'s the higher-ups who want someone to come down here. The county chief really has no choice,\'
Someone from above has their eye on this position, isn\'t it Huang Chengzhong? However, this news did not make Wang Ganqing feel any better. \'Is there really no way?\'
\'Do you know about Jiasheng\'s plans? They plan to invest two to three hundred million yuan this year to build an industrial park. So, brother, your current position is very sought after,\' said Secretary Yan.
\'Two to three hundred million!\' Wang Ganqing was completely flabbergasted. Yesterday, Feng Zhenchang kept telling him that he really didn\'t know much about his son\'s arrangements, except that there seemed to be some new investment. He never expected it to be such a big investment.
\'Brother Wang, take my advice: seize the day, get active, and do your best to find a good position in the county,\'
