Chapter 1361: A Vague Sense of Crisis!

In late July, the Third Plenary Meeting of the 13th Government of Yechuan County and the Town Mayor Meeting were officially convened.

This meeting was primarily divided into two parts.

The first part was to study and implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, as well as the spirit of the economic work conferences of the Provincial Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee, and the plenary meeting of the Municipal Government.

The second part was to deploy the key tasks for the next stage.

Centering on the work requirements of the Provincial Government Inspection Team, the goal is to improve government service capabilities and promote the sustained and positive development of the county's economic work.

At the meeting, the various Deputy County Magistrates made specific arrangements and deployments regarding the work they oversee and coordinate.

Relevant leaders from the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress and the County CPPCC were invited to attend the meeting as non-voting delegates.

Tang Ye issued clear requirements at the meeting:

"Comrades, it is now August. In previous years, the assessment for everyone would not start until October.

This year, we are starting the assessment work early. Recently, everyone must focus their attention and first earnestly carry out self-screening.

Half a month from now, the county will arrange for working groups to enter units at all levels to carry out inspections.

This assessment is not only to cooperate with the research work of the Provincial Government Inspection Team but also to urge everyone. I hope all comrades can attach great importance to it."

After the meeting ended, Tang Ye attended the County Government Party Committee meeting.

Subsequently, he invited the heads of various departments directly under the county to his office to hold talks one by one.

In the following few days, the heads of various townships also arrived at the county one after another to listen to the specific work arrangements of the County Government.

This series of intensive actions was dizzying to watch...

Ding Zhen met Yu Jing in the office.

Yu Jing took the initiative to bring up the recent assessment work: "I heard that the county is currently carrying out a surprise assessment targeting the townships?"

Ding Zhen nodded and responded: "Yes, an inspection team has come from the province. In order to allow the inspection team to obtain more detailed and high-quality research data, the county is using the assessment method to fully mobilize the enthusiasm for grassroots work.

County Magistrate Tang still has a very good management approach, and he has his own unique methods for rectifying the problems of lazy and slack governance."

Yu Jing, however, was unimpressed. "There are still quite a few complaints among grassroots cadres. Some cadres are so overwhelmed by the assessment tasks that they can't breathe, and they have strong opinions. In my view, County Magistrate Tang's assessment is a pretense, and he has other intentions."

Ding Zhen looked at Yu Jing calmly and asked: "What intentions?"

Yu Jing lowered his voice to remind him: "On the surface, it is an assessment, but in reality, it is secretly evaluating a group of cadres. This time, the focus is on Section-level Cadres."

Ding Zhen suddenly realized and hurriedly said: "So there are so many tricks involved. Director Yu is the one who sees things thoroughly."

Yu Jing continued: "The adjustment work for Section-level Cadres must be put on the agenda quickly, otherwise, a long delay will lead to trouble, and it is easy for complications to arise."

Ding Zhen nodded, expressing his agreement...

On the other side, Dong Zhangan found Tang Ye,

and placed a list of cadre adjustments in front of Tang Ye.

Tang Ye had put in a great deal of effort to become the Deputy County Party Secretary.

Therefore, Dong Zhangan's stance was clear: he would keep in step with Tang Ye.

Tang Ye picked up the list, took a look, and said softly: "The scale of personnel changes in this list is not small."

Dong Zhangan explained: "Secretary Ding removed the two people recommended by the Minister of the Armed Forces Department, Chen Chen. Later, Secretary Ding found the Minister of the Propaganda Department, Chen Yanan. I don't know what the two of them discussed specifically, but they re-examined the cadres on the list, deleted a very small number of people who did not meet the requirements, and finally, Secretary Ding added several more candidates."

Tang Ye could understand Dong Zhangan's implication.

Ding Zhen was taking advantage of the major adjustment of Section-level Cadres in the county to cultivate his own power.

Section-level positions are the foundation for a cadre's growth; perhaps no changes can be seen in the short term.

However, two to three years later, the effects of the adjustments will gradually become prominent.

Ding Zhen has really made something of himself!

He has started laying the groundwork for two years from now...

That afternoon, Tang Ye received a notice from the County Party Committee Office that Ding Zhen proposed to convene a Five-Person Group Meeting.

In addition to Tang Ye and Ding Zhen, the attendees included Deputy County Party Secretary Dong Zhangan, Minister of the County Party Committee Organization Department Cheng Xin, and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhao Shuli.

The core content of this meeting was precisely to discuss that list of Section-level cadre adjustments.

After Tang Ye sat down, Ding Zhen took the lead in directing the meeting: "Everyone, you should have all seen the list. Please offer your opinions."

After speaking, his gaze slowly swept toward Tang Ye, signaling him to speak first.

Tang Ye picked up the list and carefully reviewed it again.

Although the candidates he had previously recommended were retained, the changes to the other personnel were very obvious.

Originally, Shi Guangrong occupied a dominant position in the cadre adjustment work, but following Shi Guangrong's transfer to the County CPPCC, all the personnel he recommended were removed from the list.

Tang Ye was extremely dissatisfied with Ding Zhen's approach of setting a trap to squeeze Shi Guangrong into the CPPCC.

But he knew in his heart that this list must have synthesized the opinions of all the members of the Five-Person Group.

If he forcibly overturned this list, it would inevitably make him a target of public criticism.

For Ding Zhen, as long as this list passed smoothly, he would be able to grasp the right to speak in personnel arrangements for Section-level positions;

if it did not pass, he could push the responsibility onto Tang Ye, saying that Tang Ye was obstructing it from the middle.

Tang Ye looked at Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhao Shuli and asked: "Has the Discipline Inspection Commission reviewed every candidate on the list?"

Zhao Shuli had lost to Dong Zhangan in the competition for Deputy Secretary and had always harbored dissatisfaction in his heart.

He nodded and replied in a slightly stiff tone:

"County Magistrate Tang, please rest assured. The Discipline Inspection Commission has conducted a comprehensive evaluation of every cadre on the list, and the relevant evaluation records have all been kept intact."

Tang Ye knew that Zhao Shuli was an upright and righteous cadre,

it was just that his personality was a bit stubborn and he spoke bluntly, and there was no malice intended.

He smiled indifferently and said, "Secretary Zhao, don't overthink it; I didn't mean to criticize you, I was just asking casually."

Cheng Xin added, "County Magistrate Tang, when drafting this list, the Organization Department was also exceptionally cautious and conducted repeated verifications."

Tang Ye nodded slightly and looked around at the few people present.

"Since the list has been vetted by everyone and complies with the procedures, I certainly support it."

Ding Zhen was secretly pleased, but his face remained calm as he said, "County Magistrate Tang, if you agree, I have no objections either. If you don't agree, then this list will have to be delayed again, and it won't do to drag it out for too long. Only when personnel are arranged can we better promote the development of various tasks."

Tang Ye looked around the room.

Including Dong Zhangan, the others were all avoiding his gaze.

At this moment, he finally realized.

Privately, the other four had already reached a consensus.

They had prepared the radish, green onions, and other dipping vegetables specifically for his bowl of egg sauce.

If he shook his head in opposition now, he would offend all four of them at once.

The Five-Person Group was the core of the County Party Committee Standing Committee members, and isolating himself was not a good thing.

Recently, Tang Ye had been busy cooperating with the Provincial Examination team to assess and improve the administrative capabilities of the grassroots level.

Therefore, he had not had much energy to pay attention to this list!

However, the current situation gave Tang Ye a vague sense of crisis...
