Chapter 1302: The Big Account Is About to Get Promoted Again!

Five years ago, Du Chengfeng was still the County Magistrate of Tianling County.

Since then, he has steadily advanced, receiving promotions all the way,

eventually sitting in the position of Deputy Secretary of the Hanzhou Municipal Committee.

Du Chengfeng's age is not an advantage, but his luck has been exceptionally good.

Xia Hong dialed Li Chaoyang's phone number.

"Secretary Li, this is Xia Hong."

"Minister Xia, hello. May I ask if there is something you need?"

"Tomorrow, a working group will arrive in Hanzhou to conduct an organizational assessment of Comrade Du Chengfeng!"

Li Chaoyang was slightly stunned; his first reaction was, is Du Chengfeng getting promoted again?

"Understood. I welcome the comrades from the Organization Department and will make the necessary arrangements."

Afterward, the two communicated regarding this matter.

When the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department transfers cadres, they need to consult with the top leader.

Li Chaoyang did not expect that Du Chengfeng had actually grasped a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He had heard about the situation in Runzhou.

He Haiyang had been in Runzhou for less than half a year before being investigated by the Provincial Party Committee Inspection Office.

The government team in Runzhou would certainly see major changes.

Du Chengfeng leaving Hanzhou actually held no disadvantages for Li Chaoyang.

Du Chengfeng was a trusted aide of the former Municipal Party Secretary Zhou Chengwu; his presence was not a good thing for Li Chaoyang.

If Du Chengfeng left, the Hanzhou team could finally be completely controlled by him.

Of course, on the surface, Li Chaoyang and Du Chengfeng's relationship was good, and they cooperated tacitly.

While communicating with Xia Hong, he still had to express regret at losing such a capable general.

In reality, he was overjoyed.

After hanging up on Xia Hong, Li Chaoyang dialed Du Chengfeng's number.

"Secretary Du, do you have a moment? If it's convenient, please come to my office."

"Understood, I will be there immediately!"

Du Chengfeng quickly knocked on the door of the Municipal Party Secretary's office.

Li Chaoyang wore a smile, "Old Du, please sit!"

Seeing Li Chaoyang's expression, Du Chengfeng knew it was nothing bad.

"Tomorrow, a working group from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department is coming down to conduct an organizational assessment of you. I am genuinely happy for you from the bottom of my heart."

"An organizational assessment of me?" Du Chengfeng looked surprised.

Because this news was too sudden.

Li Chaoyang nodded slightly, "I chatted with Minister Xia for a bit; the plan is to transfer you to Runzhou to serve as Mayor. I think this is a very good opportunity. With your abilities, you will certainly use this chance to make a major breakthrough."

Du Chengfeng composed himself, "Thank you for your support, Secretary Li. I will obey the organization's arrangements."

Li Chaoyang said, "I asked you to come over, firstly, to handle the assessment by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department;

secondly, after you leave, there will be major changes to the Municipal Committee team.

Especially regarding the arrangement of cadres, there will be some fluctuations.

I hope you can offer me some suggestions."

Du Chengfeng immediately understood Li Chaoyang's intention—he wanted him to recommend a "proxy,"

so that after he left, this person could take over his work.

"I recommend Comrade Guo Zhengting. He has performed outstandingly these past few years, the economic development momentum in Tianling County has been consistently good, and his abilities are worth affirming."

Li Chaoyang nodded slightly, "Comrade Guo Zhengting is indeed excellent; he is a suitable candidate for Standing Committee Member."

Afterward, Du Chengfeng recommended several other capable cadres to Li Chaoyang.

He knew that Li Chaoyang would certainly not accept them all.

But, he still had to propose them.

Returning to his office, it took Du Chengfeng a long time to calm his emotions.

He had not expected that things would evolve into this situation.

When he first learned that his granddaughter had been born and that Shen Mingcheng had attempted to swap her, he had been absolutely furious!

But now, having calmed down, he realized that incident had actually become the fuse for his promotion.

This is what is called fortune and misfortune being interdependent.

……

The next day, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department working group arrived in Hanzhou.

The working group conducted democratic evaluations and individual interviews with Du Chengfeng.

Subsequently, news of Du Chengfeng's promotion spread through the Hanzhou officialdom.

However, there was no definite news regarding where Du Chengfeng was going.

Tang Ye received a call from Guo Zhengting.

"County Magistrate Tang, I heard that Secretary Du is getting a promotion?"

Tang Ye knew that Guo Zhengting had heard the rumors.

"I'm not sure either; Secretary Du hasn't told me."

Guo Zhengting sighed with emotion, "I am truly happy for Secretary Du. If there is any news, remember to notify me as soon as possible."

Tang Ye laughed, "Keep an eye on the public notices! Given Secretary Du's character, he absolutely won't let a single whisper leak out before it's a done deal."

Guo Zhengting laughed heartily, "That is true!"

Two weeks later, the pre-appointment public notice was released, and Du Chengfeng's destination finally came to light.

When the notice was released, there were also some surprises!

He had originally thought that Du Chengfeng would be transferred to Qiongjin, resolve his Department Level status with the help of Zhou Chengwu, and after settling down for a period of time, take on a position with real power in a prefecture-level city!

He did not expect that Du Chengfeng would actually reach the goal in one step, and even take the position that originally belonged to He Haiyang.

He Haiyang was now in a rather awkward position.

Tang Ye took the initiative to dial Du Chengfeng's office phone.

"Dad, I saw the public notice materials. Congratulations!"

Du Chengfeng laughed, "Thank you. You played a part in this."

Tang Ye smiled modestly, "It has nothing to do with me. The organization recognizes your ability, which is inseparable from your decades of hard work."

Du Chengfeng was also filled with emotion, "If the case of the misappropriation of three hundred million in special funds in Qiongjin hadn't caused such a stir, this opportunity wouldn't have fallen to me. You put in a great deal of effort behind the scenes; I am well aware of that."

Du Chengfeng now also saw the game Tang Ye was playing.

Arresting Shen Mingcheng was not Tang Ye's true goal!

What Tang Ye was actually dealing with was He Haiyang...

Tang Ye's forbearance and shrewdness made Du Chengfeng feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Fortunately, Tang Ye was his son-in-law; if he were an opponent, he would likely be in for a rough time.

When experts clash, it depends on whose layout is a cut above.

Tang Ye had long been planning in secret with Wan Ming, and only now had he won the final victory.

The office phone rang again.

It was a call from his brother-in-law, Xiao Guangyi.

"Chengfeng, I saw the public notice document, congratulations!"

"Thank you, brother. It is still in the public notice stage and hasn't been finalized yet." Du Chengfeng's tone was humble and polite, yet he always maintained a distance from Xiao Guangyi.

Xiao Guangyi said with a smile, "To put it bluntly, the public notice is just a formality. Let's get together once the official appointment comes down!"

Du Chengfeng did not respond directly to Xiao Guangyi, "I have a meeting, I'll contact you later."

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy!" Xiao Guangyi felt Du Chengfeng's coldness, and naturally felt a bit depressed inside.

In his view, although Du Chengfeng had developed well in recent years, he was getting on in age, and it would be very difficult for him to advance further.

As for his son-in-law Tang Ye, he was indeed a talent with potential.

It was just unexpected that Du Chengfeng's speed of advancement in these few years had not been slow at all.

In five years, rising from County Magistrate to Mayor...

It was truly too unexpected, and even, somewhat outrageous...

Xiao Guangyi felt some regret in his heart, because he had said many excessive things to Du Chengfeng in the past.

For example, mocking the marriage between Du Chengfeng and Xiao Qin, saying that Du Chengfeng wanted to cling to the power of the Xiao Family.

But now, Du Chengfeng had proven with his actual actions that even without the help of the Xiao Family, he could still rise step by step...
