Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 253 Appointment of Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee Members

Li Dakang heard Sha Ruijin's suggestion.

His eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he said somewhat awkwardly:

"I absolutely support Secretary Sha's arrangements, but I would like to add a point. After Ding Yizhen's escape, the situation in Guangming District has become increasingly complicated, and we need a tough secretary who can keep things under control. Director Bai... his abilities are beyond doubt, but he may be somewhat lacking in dealing with complex issues."

Sha Ruijin waved his hand and said:

"You don't need to worry about that. Jingwen has been with me for so long, he's very capable, and I trust him."

After speaking, Sha Ruijin deliberately said in a deep voice:

"Could it be that Dakang thinks Jingwen's past will become a hindrance to you?"

"Absolutely not, Secretary Sha!" Li Dakang's pupils dilated in fright as he stammered.

"I'm just thinking of Director Bai's best interests. Since you think it's okay, then I don't have a problem either."

Sha Ruijin smiled with satisfaction:

"Then it's settled. Speaking of which, Jingwen has been with me for so long, it's about time he got promoted and became a deputy director-general level official."

Li Dakang nodded repeatedly and said:

"Secretary's insight is brilliant."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Li Dakang left.

As he walked out of the secretary's office, many comrades from the provincial party committee office greeted Li Dakang, and he responded with a warm smile and concern, making everyone feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

The moment I stepped out of Building 1 and into the private car.

The smile on Li Dakang's face vanished completely.

The gloomy expression of downturned lips and drooping eyelids returned to his face.

For no other reason than that.

Sha Ruijin arranged for his personal secretary, Bai Jingwen, to come to his territory, Guangming District, to serve as the district party secretary.

No matter how nice Sha Ruijin's words are.

In Li Dakang's view, this was a blatant provocation.

Sha Ruijin wants to extend his reach into Guangming District and Jingzhou City.

It is important to know that Guangming District is directly responsible for the Guangming Peak project. The Guangming Peak project is not only important, but its contents must also be kept strictly confidential.

If Bai Jingwen were to be allowed to settle down and become the Party Secretary of Guangming District, he would gain access to the inside story of the Guangming Peak project.

That would put me in danger.

Zhao Lichun is also in danger.

Li Dakang thought about it carefully and wondered if Sha Ruijin had found out the inside story of the Guangming Peak project and was planning to find out the truth.

Sending his most trusted confidant to Jingzhou, could it be a sign of a formal declaration of war?

But things don't seem to have gotten to that point yet.

What exactly does Sha Ruijin mean?

Surely it's not that they just want Bai Jingwen to come over?

Li Dakang was somewhat worried. He didn't know how much Sha Ruijin knew about the inside story of the Guangming Peak project, and what his intentions were in sending Bai Jingwen to Guangming District.

In any case, for now we can only deal with things as they come.

However, the Guangming Peak project must not be allowed to be known by anyone.

in other words.

The position of Party Secretary of Guangming District is reserved for Li Dakang's own people.

No one else is allowed to touch it!

……

At the same time that Sha Ruijin was making his plans.

The Central Committee's appointment document for the leadership of the Handong Provincial Committee has also been issued.

Sha Ruijin made the announcement at the Standing Committee meeting.

Xia Qing was appointed as the full-time deputy secretary of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee and concurrently as the head of the Organization Department.

The announcement of this arrangement immediately caused a huge uproar within the Standing Committee!

It should be understood that the full-time deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, one of the three top officials in the province, is responsible for cooperating with the provincial party secretary in other tasks.

One very important aspect is cadre and personnel work.

This is also the origin of the practice of full-time deputy secretaries directly providing guidance and suggestions to the Organization Department.

As is customary, the deputy secretary and the organization minister should be separate individuals to prevent one person from monopolizing personnel power.

But now.

Xia Qing not only rose to the third rank in the province, but also retained his work in the Organization Department.

This inevitably leads one to a thought.

The superiors intended to firmly place the power of personnel management in Handong in Xia Qing's hands.

Xia Qing's power will reach a new peak with this appointment.

Some members of the Standing Committee are already considering moving closer to Xia Qingjian!

Sha Ruijin was also helpless about this appointment.

The power of personnel appointments is concentrated in the hands of one person.

The subsequent personnel changes will likely have to be decided by myself, or discussed thoroughly with Xia Qing.

This is so frustrating!

Only Xia Qing knew that there was one crucial reason why the higher-ups made this arrangement.

In the short term, no new members will be appointed to the Standing Committee as full-time deputy secretaries.

Because no one is suitable.

After much thought, I considered everything from ability to achievements to reputation.

Xia Qing is the most suitable.

In this way, Xia Qing received two votes from the five-person group.

In subsequent personnel matters, they won't be at a disadvantage against two against one by Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu.

This also reflects something else.

The governor of Handong is not a suitable candidate for the position in the short term!

In the days to come, Xia Qing will have to shoulder the pressure from both Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu all by herself.

This is also a test for Xia Qing from above.

When a person holds absolute power over personnel matters.

Is it corruption and degeneration, or the pursuit of personal gain?

Or is it fairness, integrity, and diligence?

Xia Qing knew that the answer she submitted would directly determine her future trajectory.

Besides Xia Qing's appointment as full-time deputy secretary, which has attracted much attention.

The other candidate is also quite noteworthy.

The newly appointed Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

He was promoted to the position by Luo Jian, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City.

This news is undoubtedly even more significant.

Although it is already common practice for the secretary of the Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee to be included in the Standing Committee.

However, Luo Jian's work is lukewarm; he hasn't caused any problems but also hasn't achieved any outstanding results. His rapid promotion to the Standing Committee at this critical juncture makes people wonder who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Furthermore, which side does Luo Jian belong to? What is his attitude? These are all unknowns.

But Xia Qing had some guesses about this.

Crescent Lake Food City, that franchise agreement.

It was signed by Gao Yuliang and Huilong Group.

After Gao Yuliang was appointed to the Standing Committee, his successor as the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City was dismissed due to personal issues.

The next one was Luo Jian.

Luo Jian gained Gao Yuliang's trust and was put in charge of keeping the operating rights contract.

It was also with Gao Yuliang's approval and Luo Jian's cooperation.

Xia Qing was able to obtain the contract, which allowed Sha Ruijin, who had been suspended, to return to his post smoothly.

Therefore, one thing can be guaranteed.

Luo Jian and Gao Yuliang should have a good relationship.

Let's assume Luo Jian really came to inherit Gao Yuliang's will.

As the top official in the political and legal system of Handong Province, Luo Jian naturally had more room to maneuver for Qi Tongwei and Chen Hai.

This is a good thing.

No matter what.

It's better for Luo Jian to be the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission than for someone from Sha Ruijin to take the position.

As for the provincial governor.

Currently vacant.

Xia Qing was not surprised by this.

Those who are qualified to serve as provincial governors must be outstanding cadres who have been cultivated at great cost, and may even have the potential to go further and reach the pinnacle in the future.

The situation in Handong remains complex. The new governor will inevitably be involved, and if things go wrong, he may end up with a bad reputation.

It's unlikely that anyone would be willing to send their trusted generals into the murky waters of Handong at this critical juncture.

The new governor will arrive only after the situation in Handong has stabilized and he has achieved results.

in other words.

Above, they were also observing the situation in Handong and planning the future of the famous Handong.

Next step.

It is certain that the remaining members of the Zhao family must be dealt with.

That is, the Guangming Peak project in Guangming District, Jingzhou City, has commenced.

Only by finishing this task can we achieve our goals.

Only in Handong will a new provincial governor be appointed.

This is the information Xia Qing gleaned from this appointment of Standing Committee members!
