Chapter 88 Division of Labor
The car that came to pick up Wang Haixing was the Education Bureau's No. 1 car. The previous driver followed Chen Xiaojun to Tengliang, and the current driver was temporarily arranged by the Education Bureau's office.
The Education Bureau office compound is located on Chengxiao Road, close to Longtong No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, Teachers College, and Institute of Education.
Li Shiqiang is a retired car soldier who was assigned to the Education Commission three years ago. He is also the nephew of the Discipline Inspection Secretary of the Education Bureau. However, the young man is steady, hardworking and down-to-earth. After joining the work, he quickly integrated into the office and started by managing the sanitation of the compound. In less than half a year, the office director took the initiative to recommend him to the small car team.
Then he became his uncle's full-time driver. The old secretary completed the retirement procedures on time this year, and Li Shiqiang was temporarily unemployed. He became an obedient member of the small car team, always ready to go wherever he was needed, never putting on airs, always smiling and cheerful at everyone. When on business trips to counties and villages, he sometimes even rushed to pay for meals, and took the initiative to buy cigarettes and leave them in the car for people to smoke as they pleased.
Therefore, Li Shiqiang has a very good popularity in the Education Bureau. This time, the office director specifically asked him to take over as the acting director, and his intention was also to promote him.
Li Shiqiang asked the new acting director indirectly. Although Longtong is a large area, its officialdom is not too complicated. In particular, it often interacts with people who drive cars from various units. These drivers are undoubtedly the best source of clues for any movement.
Director Wang is fat, can drink a lot, is humorous, and is a close friend of Mayor Hu who came from Nanzhao.
Now that Mayor Hu has become a member of the Standing Committee and Director Wang has been promoted, many drivers are jealous of Lao Li's car and are regretting their decision. If they had known that Mayor Hu would make progress, they would have made some efforts earlier. Perhaps they would be driving for Mayor Hu now.
Wang Haixing simply packed up his things and was about to go out with a briefcase. Li Shiqiang was already waiting outside the door. He took the bag and introduced himself, "Director Wang, my name is Li Shiqiang, and I'm the driver sent by the bureau to pick you up."
Wang Haixing nodded. This young man is not bad. Although he doesn’t look very smart, he has good eyesight and a lively mind.
Arriving at the parking lot downstairs, Wang Haixing took a look and nodded secretly again. This was a government compound, and Li Shiqiang parked the car very skillfully. It did not occupy the reserved parking spaces of several senior leaders, nor did it drive into a remote corner.
The car No. 1 that came to pick up Wang Haixing this time was an imported off-road vehicle. Although there have been regulations that the cars allocated to leaders cannot exceed the standard, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. As long as it is not too excessive, leaders at all levels will turn a blind eye.
Li Shiqiang opened the back door first, and Wang Haixing shook his head, "Sit in the front."
The traffic conditions in Longtong were really bad. Wang Haixing had experienced the severity of the traffic after running through the countryside once. After running through several counties, Wang Haixing was vomiting and his whole body was sore.
That's why he complained to Hu Jiao about losing a few pounds.
Hu Jiao didn't care about the road conditions. When he was in Tieshu Township, the road was extremely bad.
Therefore, Deputy Mayor Hu, who had long been immune to the problem, always sat in the back.
Wang Haixing got into the car and Li Shiqiang started the car skillfully. Wang Haixing flipped through the music tapes. It was about ten minutes' drive from the government compound to the Education Bureau.
There are more than a dozen tapes, including ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign music, light music, pop songs, rock music, revolutionary songs, everything you can think of.
"I call you Shiqiang, do you mind?"
Li Shiqiang smiled innocently, "Okay, that's what my family calls me too."
"How many years have you been working?"
"I am a retired car soldier. I have been assigned to the bureau for more than three years and have six years of driving experience."
"Who else is home?"
"My home is in a rural area in Longqing District, more than 30 kilometers away from the city. My parents are at home, and I have two older brothers and a sister. I am the youngest."
"Oh, are you married?"
"No, we retired soldiers are only treated as workers, no one looks down on us."
Wang Haixing laughed, "I'll introduce you to someone if I have a chance. But you're living alone in the city? Isn't that inconvenient?"
Li Shiqiang's expression was very sincere. "To be honest with you, Director Wang, my uncle is Li Weimin, the discipline inspection secretary of the bureau. He just retired this year. If it weren't for his care, I wouldn't be able to get in. I live in my uncle's house now. There is only one brother in my uncle's family. He works in Fufeng after graduating from university."
Wang Haixing admired Li Shiqiang's sincerity and was very satisfied with his attitude. He had already begun to accept Li Shiqiang in his heart.
The car entered the Education Bureau, and all the cadres lined up to welcome them again. The Organization Minister had brought Wang Haixing here yesterday and held a meeting of mid-level cadres and above to announce the appointment of the Municipal Party Committee.
Afterwards, Wang Haixing did not stay in the Education Bureau. He hurried back because of some urgent matters in the municipal government.
So today is the day when Wang Haixing officially takes office, and the leadership team of the Education Bureau headed by Deputy Director Tu Guangcheng is the first to come forward to welcome him.
Wang Haixing moved the fat on his face, stretched out his chubby hands, and shook hands warmly with everyone one by one.
Although Tu Guangcheng did not succeed in getting promoted this time, his mentality was still positive and he did not develop any negative resistance because of this. He grabbed Wang Haixing's hand and said, "Director Wang, if you don't come today, we will be in chaos."
Wang Haixing laughed up to the sky , "Director Tu is too modest. The Education Bureau can do without Wang Haixing, but it can never do without you, Tu Guangcheng. Everyone remember what I said, I have no intention of being sarcastic or pretentious! The work of the bureau in the future will rely on all of you present! I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to have a heart-to-heart talk with you all. Today, I want to consult with you one by one, seek your understanding and support, and strive to reach a common will as soon as possible. Let's think and work together to promote the education reform as soon as possible, open up the situation, and strive to achieve results within three months!"
There was a round of applause at the scene. Under the guidance of Tu Guangcheng, people from the Education Bureau gathered in the conference room and held the first cadre meeting after Wang Haixing took office, which opened the curtain for the education reform in Longtong City. It was also the first big drama of Wang Haixing's official appearance in the political arena of Longtong.
At this time, when Hu Jiao faced Quan Deyou's sincere report, he couldn't help feeling mixed emotions. Thinking about the scene when he first arrived in Longtong three months ago, he felt a lot of emotion. If he was an ordinary cadre without any background, if according to the previous agreement, he would have broken out of the situation single-handedly.
Hu Jiao was sure that he would definitely disappear from the position of deputy mayor and eventually become one of the deputy directors.
Why was he appointed as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission?
Because Hu Jiao has never had any experience in political and legal work, political and legal work is undoubtedly an important part of the Party Committee and the government. From the central government to the local governments, no one dares to ignore its role and influence.
Accumulating sufficient experience in political and legal work will not only add a strong stroke to your resume, but also provide you with an additional option for future leadership positions.
Entering the Standing Committee and focusing on the division of labor between politics and law is undoubtedly a signal to Hu Jiao that he should familiarize himself with the work as soon as possible, cultivate his own people as soon as possible, and firmly grasp the political and legal aspects. This is tantamount to controlling the power that most people are wary of. Who dares to ignore it?
Hu Jiao did not interfere in the public security work. Judging from the sincerity shown by Quan De, Hu Jiao can be completely assured of the management of public security.
Hu Jiao also showed full trust in return, and the two reached a preliminary understanding. Now the two deputy secretaries of the Political and Legal Committee are the president of the court and the chief prosecutor. Moreover, the president of the court, Wang Daocheng, has reached the age of retirement. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely retire at the beginning of next year.
When the time comes, the ones who will participate in the competition will still be Quan Deyou and Wu Lixin.
Before Quan Deyou came to report on his work, Hu Jiao never thought that he would take the initiative to surrender. In his further expectation, Wu Lixin was the cadre he had the greatest hope of winning over.
Considering that the president of the court will retire next year, if Wu Lixin is indeed as Jiang Yifan said, he doesn't mind talking to Zhao Mingfang.
"Secretary Hu, I didn't expect that I would be working under your leadership so soon. Things are unpredictable, and fate brings people together. Do you have any instructions or requests for public security work?"
Quan Deyou was very humble and sincere.
Hu Jiao shook his head and took the initiative to help Quan De light a cigarette. "Overall, haha, look at your title, overall, overall, the overall work of the public security depends on the overall. As for me, I don't know anything. You are an old comrade, an old leader. You also have to take care of the Political and Legal Committee. Dean Wang and Chief Prosecutor Shi are too busy. They are here in name only. Someone has to do the actual work."
Quan Deyou hurriedly expressed his obedience to the leadership and his determination to carry out the order.
At night, Wang Haixing got a group of Education Bureau officials drunk and they were dizzy. Hu Jiaoze and Quan De felt like they had met too late and they became closer and closer.
During the dinner, Quan Deyou boldly invited a female host from Longtong TV Station to come and toast.
He did not shy away from Hu Jiao and frankly admitted his relationship with the woman named Zhao Xiaoli. Hu Jiao did not care and laughed.
Quan Deyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost spent all his money to seek refuge with Hu Jiao, and if he still couldn't remove Hu Jiao's vigilance, then he would be a failure as a human being.
Why is the whole of Germany so anxious?
Some secrets in the officialdom are not really secrets. Quan Deyou believes that when some people come to their senses after Hu Jiao's appointment, they will surely show their own abilities, and Hu Jiao's origins will soon surface.
By that time, the value and significance of joining Hu Jiao would certainly be much less than it is now.
Instead of competing with others to show goodwill, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and follow his style of solving cases, grasp the clues and go all out.
With Quan Deyou's deliberate actions, Hu Jiao got to know the director's personality very well. He was generous, magnanimous, and slightly overbearing, but it was obvious that once he identified someone, he would treat them with his whole heart and seemed very righteous.
Hu Jiao also let go of his reserve and drank a lot. In the evening, the two moved from the restaurant to Zhao Xiaoli's home. Hu Jiao finally couldn't hold on any longer, but Quan Deyou acted as if nothing had happened and was able to drive to take Hu Jiao back to the municipal recruitment office.
The next day, Zhou Shengling presided over a mayor's office meeting. After soliciting opinions from the municipal party committee, he discussed with the deputy mayors and re-divided the work.
In fact, this time the mayor's division of labor was mainly an exchange between Hu Jiao and Wen Kaigui, who was previously in charge of political and legal affairs.
Hu Jiao had no objection. He adjusted the legal work in charge, including the judiciary, public security, procuratorial and judicial departments, and contacted the Municipal People's Congress for legislation and supervision.
Executive Vice Mayor Wu Jinshan assists the mayor in his work and is in charge of the city government's affairs, including the economy, poverty alleviation and development, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy and hydropower, transportation, construction, environmental protection, post and telecommunications, etc.
Deputy Mayor Liu Mengjie, member of the Standing Committee, assists the mayor in his work and is in charge of industry, trade, finance, insurance, statistics, auditing, industry and commerce, technical supervision, taxation, land, etc.
Deputy Mayor Wen Kaigui assists the mayor in his work and is in charge of cultural affairs, education, science and technology, culture, press and publishing, radio and television, archives, health, and sports.
Deputy Mayor Zuo Yonggang assists the mayor in his work and is in charge of social work, family planning, labor wages, ethnic and religious affairs, civil affairs and welfare, overseas Chinese affairs, and work related to the elderly.
After the division of labor was completed, Zhou Shengling changed the subject and said, "Hu Jiao, now that the division of labor has been adjusted, you are in charge of the same matters in the Municipal Party Committee and the government. Are you focusing more on the Political and Legal Affairs Commission?"
Hu Jiao nodded, "I will obey Mayor Zhou's arrangements."
Zhou Shengling waved his hand, "It's not an arrangement! This is just my personal suggestion. Party and government, you are now the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and the position of Secretary comes first. There is one more thing, I almost forgot! We have been talking about tourism development for several years, but due to traffic problems, it has always been in name only. Hu Jiao is from Nanzhao. As we all know, Nanzhao is a famous tourist destination in the country, and he has rich experience in this area. Hu Jiao, do you think we should take charge of this work?"
Hu Jiao nodded again with a wry smile on his face, "Mayor Zhou is right. Unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Alas... Travel, travel, see the mountains and rivers, increase your knowledge, relax and have fun, and adjust your body and mind. It's just that the road in Longtong is really..."
Hu Jiao didn't say anything further and shook his head. He didn't need to say anything, everyone present knew it.
Zhou Shengling sighed and looked at Wu Jinshan, "Jinshan, have you made any new moves recently?"
Wu Jinshan is in charge of transportation. Since taking office, he has not made much achievement and he himself is helpless. Longtong's economic development is lagging behind and it all depends on provincial funding, but the whole province is like a chessboard. Longtong has no regional advantages and no resource advantages.
"The mayor should be aware that the province's development direction is now leaning towards the east and south. For a mountainous area like Longtong in the west, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer."
Zhou Shengling nodded. "Alas, economic development is not easy without solving the traffic problem. Lao Wen, you have taken over Hu Jiao's responsibility now, and you must start the work as soon as possible. The aftermath of Teng Liang's incident is still unresolved. The tone of education reform has been set, and the efforts must be intensified. I unconditionally support your work."
Wen Kaigui nodded. At the age of 51, he is currently serving as deputy mayor, but he is not very interested in the position and does not have much ambition. He will finish this term, achieve success, move to the National People's Congress or the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and wait for retirement.
Not long after Zhou Shengling announced the adjournment of the meeting, Hu Weiliang, secretary general of the municipal party committee, called and said that the office of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was ready, and at the same time, the residence of the Standing Committee behind the Municipal Party Committee had also been vacated.
Hu Jiao pursed his lips. He didn't want to leave the municipal government from the bottom of his heart. He could feel more at ease doing practical things here. Besides, in the ranking of standing committee members, he was only higher than Hu Weiliang. The two of them had the same surname, Hu, and were the last two in the ranking, which made them seem closer.
After packing up a few documents, Jiang Yifan told Wen Kaigui's secretary to come get the information. All the cultural and health information was handed over, and then Jiang Yifan took over the legal information from Wen Kaigui, completing the division of labor .
Entering the municipal party committee compound, Hu Jiao sighed softly. At today's mayor's meeting, Zhou Shengling would not adjust the division of labor without reason, especially at the end, wanting to transfer the tourism work to him.
Then, turning to the issue of traffic from the unfavorable tourism development, Hu Jiao linked it to Wu Jinshan's support for Yao Qisheng at the Standing Committee meeting, and estimated that a rift had appeared between the two.
For Zhou Shengling, this was definitely a double whammy. Originally, he and Zhao Mingfang could barely fight it out, but with Yao Qisheng's emergence, the situation has now become a three-way battle. And the old fox Zhao Mingfang seemed to have anticipated this and pulled over the new Standing Committee member Hu Jiao first.
As a result, the current situation of the regular meeting is that Zhou Shengling and Yao Qisheng are both defeated, and Zhou Shengling's advantage has expanded again.
In the next step, it is estimated that Zhou Shengling will choose to remain neutral. From today's division of labor, it can be seen that the three major departments of finance, taxation, and industry and commerce that were originally under the name of Wujinshan have been transferred to Liu Mengjie again. This is obviously a gesture of goodwill to Zhao Mingfang.
Now , with eleven standing committee members, not counting the vote of Wang Xiongwei from the military sub-district, Zhao Mingfang has firm control over the situation.
The Political and Legal Affairs Commission is located in the north of the Municipal Party Committee compound, adjacent to the Discipline Inspection Commission. It consists of an office, a political work department, an office of the Comprehensive Governance Committee, an office for maintaining stability, and an office for law enforcement supervision. It is referred to as the Four Offices and One Office.
The office director was named Lin Shangyun, a middle-aged man in his forties who wore square black-framed glasses. His facial expression was very stiff, and he seemed extremely unnatural when he addressed Hu Jiao.
