Li Changping chuckled and said: "Vice Governor Song, you really know how to joke. I have no relationship with Xiao He. The organization is also thinking about the construction and development of our Chanba New District. Her work ability is very outstanding. It was urgent to transfer her up for a while, and the procedure was not completed. It just happened to catch up with the matter of Director Zheng's daughter of the Construction Committee. I was afraid that if her matter spread, it would smear the province, so I was anxious to ask you, Vice Governor Song, to help walk through this procedural problem, so as not to have long nights and many dreams."

Song Jianguo listened carefully, thought for a while, and said: "Then let's do this. I will ask the Governor and the Secretary in a while to hold this temporary standing committee meeting as soon as possible, so that you don't keep calling to annoy me!"

"Good, good, then I'll trouble you, Vice Governor Song." Li Changping immediately thanked him with a grin.

Song Jianguo said: "Alright! Let's hang up first. I'll go find the Governor and the Secretary to talk about this matter." As he spoke, Song Jianguo hung up the phone, picked up the teacup and sipped tea. After thinking about how to tell the Governor and the Secretary about this matter, he stood up and walked out of the office, went to find the Governor to talk about this matter. The Governor initially set a date and asked Song Jianguo to find the Provincial Party Secretary to negotiate again, and everything would listen to the Secretary's arrangement.

Song Jianguo arranged for the secretary to prepare the car, and went from the Provincial Government to the Provincial Party Committee to find the Provincial Party Secretary to talk about this matter, and conveyed the Governor's opinion. The Provincial Party Secretary sat behind the large desk, crossed his fingers, frowned slightly at his long and thick black eyebrows, carefully deliberated on the matter Song Jianguo said, looked up and asked him: "What position does that Xiao He hold?"

"Deputy Director of the Xijing Municipal Construction Committee." Song Jianguo immediately bowed his waist and answered respectfully.

The Secretary then frowned his thick eyebrows and asked with some confusion: "Then how could Xiao He be promoted from Deputy Director of the Xijing Municipal Construction Committee to the position of Deputy Director of the Provincial Construction Committee all of a sudden? From a deputy bureau-level cadre to a deputy department-level cadre all of a sudden, is this promotion too fast?"

Song Jianguo knew that the Secretary was relatively concerned about these major personnel transfers, and was also a leader who handled affairs impartially. Before coming, he had already thought of a countermeasure and answered respectfully: "Secretary Jia, it's like this. Didn't the State Council's approval for our Xijing Chanba New District come down at the end of last year? It is mainly considering that in order to accelerate the development and construction of the new district, the Provincial Construction Committee wants to transfer an capable deputy director up to be specifically responsible for the development and construction of the new district. Considering the overall situation of the development of Xijing City and even Hexi Province, Xiao He was transferred up. She has rich work experience, has worked in the construction committee system for more than ten years, and also started from the grassroots level. Her work is steady and serious, her work ability is particularly outstanding, and it can be considered as receiving an order in a time of crisis."

The Secretary nodded as if he understood, his thick eyebrows that were slightly frowned gradually unfolded, and said: "What you reported before was not very clear. I am busy with official business, and I didn't specifically understand it. I only knew that Xiao He was promoted to a deputy position in the Provincial Construction Committee, but the specific procedure was not completed. That's it. Since Governor Meng has already set the time for the meeting, let's do it according to what Governor Meng said. Then I will find someone from the General Office to arrange the meeting, notify all standing committee members, and prepare to hold this temporary standing committee meeting. Also, notify the organization department to prepare the materials. Since we are holding this meeting, let's be more formal and hold this meeting well."

Seeing that he had fooled Secretary Jia, Song Jianguo nodded respectfully and said: "Okay, Secretary Jia, I will hurry up and do it now, then I won't disturb your office." As he spoke, Song Jianguo withdrew from Secretary Jia's office. Coming out of the Provincial Party Committee, on the way back to the Provincial Government, Song Jianguo took out his mobile phone, found Li Changping's number, and prepared to call Li Changping to tell him about this matter. But thinking about it, it was more appropriate to tell the number one person, Su Qing, first, so he switched to Su Qing's mobile phone number and called Su Qing.

At this time, Su Qing had just called Li Changping to her office to arrange the appointment of deputy division-level cadres of the Provincial Construction Committee. The mobile phone on the table rang. She glanced at it immediately. Seeing it was a call from Executive Vice Governor Song Jianguo, she picked up the mobile phone while saying to Li Changping: "Vice Minister Li, wait a moment, I'll take Vice Governor Song's call."

Li Changping nodded with a chuckle, thinking in his heart, what is Song Jianguo calling Su Qing for?

Su Qing pressed the answer button, put the mobile phone to her ear, and said "hello" politely. Song Jianguo's laughing voice came from inside: "Minister Su, are you busy?"

"A little." Su Qing glanced at Li Changping and said to the phone with a smile, "Vice Governor Song, if you have any instructions, just say it."

On the phone, Song Jianguo gave two dry coughs and said: "It's like this. A standing committee meeting about the appointment of the Deputy Director of the Provincial Construction Committee is going to be held in these two days. The Secretary and the Governor asked your organization department to prepare the materials and relevant procedures. It is estimated to be in these two days. Please start preparing some materials for Xiao He, the organization department. They will be used at the standing committee meeting. I'm giving you a heads-up, Minister Su."

Su Qing said "oh", Song Jianguo smiled and said: "That's fine, Minister Su, don't forget it. I'll hang up first." As he spoke, Song Jianguo hung up the phone and called Li Changping to tell him about this matter.

Just as Su Qing was wondering about the matter Song Jianguo arranged, Li Changping's mobile phone rang at his waist. Li Changping took it out of the mobile phone case and looked at it. Seeing it was Vice Governor Song's call, he said to Su Qing: "Minister Su, I'll take a call first."

Su Qing happened to be thinking about the matter Song Jianguo arranged, so she nodded. Li Changping then stood up and walked out of Su Qing's office quickly. While walking towards his office, he pressed the answer button and called "Vice Governor Song" respectfully.

"Xiao Li, I went to find the Governor and Secretary Jia to talk about the matter you mentioned. They agreed. Now the time has been arranged. The standing committee meeting will be held the day after tomorrow to talk about this matter. You don't have to worry now, right?" On the phone, Song Jianguo said somewhat boastfully.

Hearing that this major matter had a clue, Li Changping immediately said with a grin: "Then I really trouble you, Vice Governor Song."

"Just invite me to drink another day." Song Jianguo laughed.

"Okay, no problem." Li Changping laughed.

"That's fine, I'll tell you first to let you relax. I just came out of the Provincial Party Committee and am still on the way back to the government. I'm driving, so I won't talk much with you. Let's talk another day." As he spoke, Song Jianguo hung up the phone.

Learning this news, Li Changping was happy for a while. The reason why he was so happy was that he had always been afraid that Zheng Ru's matter would cause a chain reaction and involve He Liping's matter again. Then, as the main responsible person, if there was a problem with the promotion and appointment of a deputy department-level cadre, the responsibility to be borne would not be as simple as Zheng Tulu and Director Zhu. This major matter finally had a clue. Li Changping breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in the boss chair, lit a cigarette with a relaxed face, and enjoyed it while swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

Li Changping thought about this matter, and after half a cigarette, Su Qing's secretary came to call him over. He then remembered that Su Qing was still talking to him just now, so he hurriedly stood up and went to Su Qing's office.

Seeing him enter, Su Qing glanced at him and said lightly: "Vice Minister Li, how come you disappeared after making a phone call? We haven't finished talking about our work yet."

"I just finished taking a call too." Li Changping smiled with an awkward expression, sat down on the sofa, and said while trying to make up for his fault: "Minister Su, regarding the matter of the Construction Committee you just mentioned, I think Comrade Xiao Zhao is quite suitable."

"Vice Minister Li, are you flattering me?" Su Qing asked in a joking tone.

Li Changping frowned and chuckled: "Minister Su, look at what you're saying. I'm speaking the truth. How can it be called flattering you? I also understand the situation of the Construction Committee roughly. At present, Comrade Xiao Zhao is indeed the most suitable candidate. The province handed this matter to the organization department to handle this time. Minister Su, are you thinking about your cousin Comrade Xiao Zhao? If you don't grasp this opportunity this time, it would be a pity."

"Why do you think it's a pity?" Su Qing asked with a light smile. She clearly felt that Li Changping was taking the opportunity to flatter her in order to dispel the grievances between them.

Li Changping straightened his body, counted with his fingers, and said solemnly and reasonably: "Minister Su, look, this time the Construction Committee just happened to catch up with the opportunity of the State Council's approval of the Chanba National New District, so the province decided to add a deputy division-level cadre to the Construction Committee. This opportunity was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Plus, now that old Zheng's daughter's appointment has been cancelled, isn't this a good opportunity for Comrade Xiao Zhao? If such an opportunity is missed, it would be a pity. While young and easy to be promoted, let's promote Comrade Xiao Zhao."

Su Qing laughed and said: "Now the province has intervened in this matter. Since this matter is handed over to the organization department to handle, our organization department should handle affairs according to rules and regulations. We cannot seek personal gain in these matters. As for who the Construction Committee will recommend to come up, this depends on the decision of the Construction Committee. We are only responsible for the procedures of review and appointment." Su Qing did not reveal her selfishness at all in front of Li Changping, shaping herself into an image of an honest official who did not recognize her own relatives.

The flattery didn't land in the right place, making Li Changping feel very uncomfortable. He smiled with an extremely awkward expression, and for a moment, he was speechless, not knowing what to say.
