Chapter 1749

Hearing Su Xinghui's words, smiles appeared on the faces of Ling Anguo and Shi Ronghuai.

In officialdom, it is about mutual support. Since Shi Ronghuai was so cooperative with Su Xinghui's work and gave him so much face, Su Xinghui could not take all the benefits; he had to leave some benefits for Shi Ronghuai.

Although Su Xinghui did not directly recommend the position of Transportation Bureau Director, the candidate recommended by An Dachang was not much different from the one Su Xinghui would have recommended.

And the position of Xiongshan Town Mayor was also a very important position. Last year, the two towns that did the best in the development of animal husbandry were Matou Town and Xiongshan Town. Lü Xianghui could be considered Su Xinghui's old subordinate. Now that he was going to Xiongshan Town as Mayor, he would definitely be able to implement Su Xinghui's governing ideas very well in Xiongshan Town.

Su Xinghui could recommend both of these positions, but for the position of County Government Office Director, it would be a bit inappropriate for Su Xinghui to recommend it again, because according to convention, the candidate for this position should be decided by the County Magistrate. If Su Xinghui decided it, it would appear a bit overbearing.

Although your background is strong and your political achievements are outstanding, you cannot override the County Magistrate as the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, right? Doing so would also leave a bad impression in the minds of higher-level leaders, and at the same time, Shi Ronghuai would definitely have misgivings, which would bury hidden dangers for the cooperation between the two in the future. This would be a case of losing more than one gains.

Although Su Xinghui was upright, he was not pedantic. Although he couldn't stand some phenomena in officialdom, he didn't expect to eradicate all these phenomena by himself. He could only grasp the big and let go of the small, and he had to put his main energy into economic construction, so he couldn't sour his relationship with his colleagues.

Now, on Su Xinghui's road to rise, three deputy county magistrates had already fallen. If he couldn't get along well with other county magistrates and deputy county magistrates, then higher-level leaders would have opinions about him. How come? You can't get along well with anyone you work with; is it that you are the only good person in Changshan County?

Therefore, sometimes, necessary concessions must be made.

Of course, letting Shi Ronghuai recommend this position was not without principles; it required that the person Shi Ronghuai recommended had the ability. If there was no sufficient ability to hold this position, Ling Anguo and Su Xinghui would both oppose it.

Shi Ronghuai certainly understood this truth. He would not recommend indiscriminately, wasting this recommendation quota. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Then I will recommend Comrade Pei Weizhong, Director of the County Archives Bureau, to serve as the County Government Office Director."

Pei Weizhong was also Shi Ronghuai's old subordinate. He was in his early forties and had been the Director of the Archives Bureau for two or three years. Although the position of Director of the Archives Bureau was also a regular section-level position, on par with the County Government Office Director, the value of these two positions was worlds apart. If he could be transferred to the position of County Government Office Director, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Pei Weizhong was a low-key person with good ability, and he managed the Archives Bureau in an orderly manner. Hearing his name, Ling Anguo and Su Xinghui both nodded in agreement, and thus, the candidates for these three positions were decided.

Although it had not yet gone to the Secretary's Office Meeting and the Standing Committee, the candidates decided by the three people—the Secretary, the County Magistrate, and the Executive Deputy County Magistrate—were basically impossible to change. Moreover, these three positions were ones where the county government had a great say, and others had no room to comment.

Ling Anguo said, "Xinghui, regarding the candidate for Transportation Bureau Director, go talk to An Dachang. Let him recommend a candidate and report it to me as soon as possible. I plan to hold a Secretary's Office Meeting in a few days to discuss these three positions and other personnel adjustment issues."

Su Xinghui nodded.

After leaving Ling Anguo's office, Su Xinghui went directly to An Dachang's office. An Dachang's office was Zhao Yangang's former office. An Dachang was a pragmatic person and did not pay much attention to superficial things, so he did not ask to change to a new office, and even the furniture inside was what Zhao Yangang had used.

Su Xinghui knocked on the door, and An Dachang said from inside, "Please come in!"

Su Xinghui pushed the door and went in. An Dachang was surprised, "It's County Magistrate Su. If you were looking for me, you could have just called me and I would have gone over. Why did you come in person?"

An Dachang knew that he must have been recommended by Su Xinghui for the position of deputy county magistrate. If it were in the feudal era, Su Xinghui would be his benefactor.

Although An Dachang was not so keen on fame and wealth, he also knew that if he wanted to do more practical things, it was necessary to stand in a higher position. Therefore, he was very grateful to Su Xinghui for his promotion this time.

Su Xinghui smiled, "It doesn't matter. I just came from Secretary Ling's side, so I just came over directly."

An Dachang hurriedly poured him tea, then sat beside him and said, "Why, County Magistrate Su, do you have something to find me for?"

Su Xinghui said, "It's like this. You are now a deputy county magistrate, so the position of Transportation Bureau Director is vacant. Just now, County Magistrate Shi and I discussed the candidate for this director with Secretary Ling. I think that transportation work is now under your charge, so it is more appropriate for you to recommend this candidate. How about it? Do you have any candidates?"

An Dachang was filled with mixed feelings. He never expected that Su Xinghui would even let him recommend the candidate for Transportation Bureau Director. He already felt very lucky to be a deputy county magistrate because he had never run for office, and he had never thought about recommending a director.

In his view, this director must be recommended by Su Xinghui, which was a matter of course. Now, Su Xinghui had given this recommendation right to him, and he was a bit stunned.

Seeing An Dachang stunned, Su Xinghui smiled, "What's wrong? You seem very surprised."

An Dachang said, "For this director, you should still be the one to recommend."

Su Xinghui said, "It doesn't matter, Comrade An Dachang. You are more familiar with the internal situation of the Transportation Bureau than I am. In order for Changshan County's transportation work to have better continuity, I think it is more appropriate for you to recommend this candidate than me."

An Dachang knew that Su Xinghui would not say any polite words to him. Since he said so, it must be for the sake of work. And for this trust from Su Xinghui, An Dachang also began to consider it cautiously.

After considering for a while, An Dachang said, "I recommend Comrade Gu Tiande, Chief Engineer of the Transportation Bureau, to serve as the Transportation Bureau Director. Comrade Gu Tiande has worked in the Transportation Bureau longer than I have and is also my senior. His familiarity with transportation work is even greater than mine. He is a good comrade with both virtue and talent. It is very appropriate for him to hold this position."

Gu Tiande was two years older than An Dachang and was the current Chief Engineer of the Transportation Bureau. Su Xinghui often went to the Transportation Bureau and knew him quite well. His situation was indeed about the same as what An Dachang said.

Su Xinghui felt that Gu Tiande was quite suitable for the position of Transportation Bureau Director, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I think Old Gu is also quite suitable. You should talk to him and let him have some mental preparation."

An Dachang said, "Okay, I'll call him later and let him come over."

Su Xinghui nodded and asked with a smile, "When are you moving to the County Party Committee compound?"

An Dachang had now become a county leader and was a member of the County Party Standing Committee, so he was of course qualified to live in the Standing Committee building. The Standing Committee building in the County Party Committee compound was actually just a few unit buildings. It wasn't just the Standing Committee members who lived here; the leaders of the several major county families also lived here.

Unless the county leaders were transferred away, they would still live here even after retirement, and no one would invite them out. Therefore, there were fewer and fewer vacant houses in the Standing Committee building, and recently the county had planned to build another unit building.
