Chapter 1359: Ding Zhen Obtains Personnel Appointment and Removal Power!

Shi Guangrong's personnel appointment came down very quickly.

Many people were quite surprised.

Shi Guangrong is one year younger than Han Zhengyi; logically, he could still serve one more term in a core position before being adjusted to a second-line role for retirement.

Why did Shi Guangrong desperately try to socialize upward over the past two years? His idea was to first secure a real-power Division Level position, and when retiring, make one last push to reach the Deputy Department Level before stepping down.

After Shi Guangrong left the number three position, the competition for the candidate to fill it was quite intense.

Dong Zhangan and Zhao Shuli engaged in a contest, and in the end, Dong Zhangan secured the position of Deputy County Party Secretary.

The post of Minister of the County Party Committee Organization Department was filled by a cadre parachuted in from the city, named Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin had worked at the Municipal Development and Reform Commission for many years, and Ding Zhen is the Director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission.

Therefore, with this adjustment, Ding Zhen obtained the Personnel Appointment and Removal Power.

After the personnel changes settled down,

Ding Zhen overcame all opposition and passed the People's Congress's request for official vehicles.

This could be considered a quid pro quo for Yu Jing!

After the driver got the car keys, he immediately drove Yu Jing to the townships for research in a high-profile manner.

"Director Yu, the new Audi drives differently; when you step on the gas, the push-back feeling is quite strong."

Yu Jing smiled faintly, "I don't know much about cars, but sitting in it, I don't feel any bumps; it is indeed quite comfortable."

The driver said happily, "It's still you, Director Yu, who has face. The dedicated cars for the County Party Secretary and the County Magistrate are both several years old. The car you are sitting in now is the best car in all of Xiyang."

Yu Jing knew the driver was deliberately flattering him and smiled indifferently, "Whether the car is good or not is not important; what is important is that with this car, we can go to more places and help the common people handle more difficult problems."

The driver laughed, "Director Yu, many common people in Yechuan regard you as their backbone. Things that many people don't dare to manage, only you dare to handle. The current economic situation in Yechuan is excellent, all thanks to the policies you formulated back then. A cadre like you should be Mayor or Municipal Party Secretary."

Yu Jing was coaxed into hearty laughter by the driver, "Xiao Liu, you are exaggerating too much. However, you also make me feel a trace of regret. If I had encountered a suitable opportunity back then, I still had a chance to reach the city leadership. But I hesitated. Because Yechuan is my root, and I wanted to invest all my energy into this piece of land."

The driver said gratefully, "If the country had more cadres like you, our country would definitely get better and better."

……

The cell phone rang.

Yu Jing answered the phone, "Secretary Ding, hello, is there anything?"

Ding Zhen said, "An inspection delegation has come from the city. Are you free this evening? If you are free, please help receive them tonight."

Yu Jing laughed, "I'm free! You can send the address and phone number to my Liaison Officer later. I will definitely arrive on time."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Jing arrived at the inspection township.

The township arranged personnel to receive Yu Jing.

Yu Jing visited the township's enterprises and livelihood projects, and after eating lunch, continued to research the next township.

After the township reception personnel sent Yu Jing away, they felt a sense of relief.

"Why does this Director Yu always love running to the grassroots level recently? He comes several times a month in the name of research."

"Director Yu is concerned about grassroots work."

"This isn't concern for grassroots work; it's clearly just being idle and adding trouble for us."

Yu Jing did not know that the people below actually had prejudices against his frequent research.

However, he did not care!

He enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people.

Moreover, he was exercising the power of the People's Congress!

The four powers of the People's Congress: Legislative Power, Supervisory Power, Decision-making Power on Major Issues, and Personnel Appointment and Removal Power.

These people didn't like him because they were afraid of being supervised by him!

……

The inspection delegation received in the evening was a field trip organized by the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Besides the cadres from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, there was also a group of writers.

They said they were helping with local publicity, but in reality, they were just using the funds to travel and sightsee everywhere.

Yu Jing thought to himself, Ding Zhen is also trying every possible way to find a sense of presence.

When he was the top leader, he would never attend such marginal inspection delegations.

The reason Ding Zhen participated in the reception was mainly to increase his exposure, because there were media following; he felt that this reception might allow him to show his face in the media and get an exposure opportunity on the City Television Station.

After the reception activity ended, Ding Zhen invited Yu Jing to go to the hot springs to soak.

Yu Jing did not refuse and went happily.

The two stripped naked and entered the hot spring.

Ding Zhen said with a smile, "Director Yu, old comrades still have influence; the city leaders attach great importance to your suggestions."

Yu Jing wiped his body with a towel and said with a smile, "Secretary Ding, when we do things, we must go with the flow. It's not just you who wants Shi Guangrong to retreat to the second line."

Ding Zhen was stunned for a moment, "Oh? You mean, Tang Ye also hopes Shi Guangrong goes to the CPPCC?"

Yu Jing smiled slightly, "That's right. Once Shi Guangrong goes to the CPPCC, he can fully take over the political resources left behind by Han Zhengyi."

A cold look appeared in Ding Zhen's eyes, "Looking at it this way, I was actually used as a gun?"

Yu Jing shook his head, "That's not necessarily true. For you, if you want to change the status quo, you must definitely break the original balance. After Shi Guangrong leaves, the original team will definitely be indecisive. As the County Party Secretary, you have a natural advantage over Tang Ye. As long as you use it well, you definitely have hope of regaining the advantage."

Ding Zhen said with a smile, "Director Yu, I still need your guidance on which people can be used by me?"

Yu Jing smiled, "The Organization Department Minister and the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary are the two weapons of the County Party Secretary. You have now obtained the Personnel Appointment and Removal Power; next, you must also take down the Discipline Inspection Commission. Zhao Shuli was promoted by me back then; he will give me some face."

Ding Zhen nodded and sighed, "Director Yu, you are his benefactor! Only you can persuade Zhao Shuli."

Yu Jing laughed, "Benefactor is not quite the word, but he is still willing to listen to what I say."

Good birds choose the trees they perch on.

I believe they will make the right judgment.

Shi Guangrong is a very good example.

Going against the County Party Secretary is not a wise move."

The two of them had a full-body massage on the third floor and returned to the County Party Committee Residential Compound together.

Ding Zhen pushed open the door and bumped into his son Ding Tai; both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Dad, I'm going out for something." Ding Tai felt an instinctive fear toward Ding Zhen.

"Hmm, go ahead, remember to come back early." Ding Zhen's tone was not as stern as imagined.

Ding Tai smiled and said, "Alright, you get some rest early too."

The reason Ding Zhen did not glare at Ding Tai today was mainly because he was in a good mood.

After several months of planning, he had finally kicked away that foul and stubborn stone in the latrine, Shi Guangrong.

Although Yu Jing liked to act like a senior and throw his weight around, he had still provided some good suggestions.

Next, he hoped that under Yu Jing's lobbying!

More people would join his camp......
