Chapter 2026

Yuan Yifu was a person accustomed to playing with power. Such a person did not have the courage to fight to the death, and he was very suspicious, always suspecting this and that. The situation today would only increase his suspicion.

First, Su Xinghui suddenly proposed that proposal, then Nie Xin proposed the candidate Jiang Zhiqing, and then He Jianpeng, Yan Xiangyu, and Yin Xuewei successively agreed to this candidate Jiang Zhiqing, making the other standing committee members who were unprepared unable to react all of a sudden, and they had some hesitation.

Their hesitation fell into Yuan Yifu's eyes, and naturally he felt it was abnormal. Naturally, he began to suspect them.

This kind of suspicion would only increase the cracks between them. It could be said that the alliance between them was also in jeopardy.

Of course, the alliance on Su Xinghui's side was also temporary. He and Pan Anping only reached a tacit understanding for the time being and could not be considered true allies.

Pan Anping also did not like Yuan Yifu. Therefore, this time he helped Su Xinghui, which could be considered venting his anger. But he could not help Su Xinghui every time. After all, he also had his own interests.

Su Xinghui was also not prepared to let Pan Anping help him unconditionally every time. It was not a good thing to owe too many favors. If Pan Anping had anything he needed help with in the future, how should he repay it?

No matter what, Yuan Yifu agreed to Jiang Zhiqing serving as the Director of the Management Committee, and this proposal was passed without suspense. Jiang Zhiqing officially became the Director of the Chongjin County Economic Development Zone Management Committee.

Next, a person nominated by Yuan Yifu became the deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau. Su Xinghui did not fight with him and acquiesced to this nomination. This allowed Yuan Yifu to save some face, as if it were a deal reached between him and Su Xinghui today.

In fact, after the Standing Committee meeting, Yuan Yifu was very annoyed. Although he tried his best to cover himself up, his walking speed was still faster than before, and those who knew him could see it.

Yuan Yifu quickly returned to his office, closed the door, and leaned back in his chair, appearing a bit exhausted. He felt that he could no longer resist Su Xinghui's offensive.

Just then, his door was knocked. Yuan Yifu straightened his body and said in as soft a voice as possible: "Please come in!"

It was Wu Zhengjing who came in. Seeing Wu Zhengjing, Yuan Yifu was suddenly furious. He saw Wu Zhengjing close the door and said viciously: "Were you dumb at the meeting just now?"

Wu Zhengjing put his legs together and hung his hands down, standing in front of Yuan Yifu like a primary school student admitting a mistake: "Secretary, I was prepared to speak, but just now He Jianpeng and those people suddenly supported Su Xinghui, which shocked me all of a sudden. I hadn't had time to speak, and you had already agreed."

Yuan Yifu said: "Is it okay if I don't agree? Do you have to wait for me to make a fool of myself before you are happy?"

Wu Zhengjing said: "Secretary, it won't work like this. This Su Xinghui is too unruly. He is pressing step by step like this. Is there any way for us to survive in the future?"

Yuan Yifu said: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Wu Zhengjing said: "I think we have to find a way to cause him some trouble."

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Yifu said: "You go first."

Wu Zhengjing didn't say anything more. He gently went out the door and closed it.

That afternoon, Su Xinghui summoned Jiang Zhiqing to his office to talk to him.

Jiang Zhiqing was a young man in his thirties. He was not very tall, and his face appeared a bit honest, as if he had no edge. However, the cold light that occasionally flashed in his eyes showed that he was not that simple.

This Jiang Zhiqing was discovered by Su Xinghui when he went to the Economic Development Zone to inspect several enterprises. As the deputy director, Jiang Zhiqing personally led the team to inspect. When he found illegal emissions, he decisively issued a rectification notice and issued a fine notice to the enterprises, carrying out severe punishment.

Although the bosses of these enterprises used both soft and hard tactics, wanting Jiang Zhiqing to let them go, Jiang Zhiqing was still able to adhere to principles, neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and moderate, leaving them speechless. Originally, some people wanted to make trouble, but under Jiang Zhiqing's efforts, they finally successfully completed the forced shutdown of these enterprises without causing any trouble.

In this process, Jiang Zhiqing showed various qualities such as being brave in taking responsibility, outstanding ability, and being able to adhere to principles, which Su Xinghui appreciated very much. Therefore, Jiang Zhiqing entered his sight.

This time, taking advantage of this opportunity, he also promoted Jiang Zhiqing.

Jiang Zhiqing came to Su Xinghui's office, and Su Xinghui let him sit down. Jiang Zhiqing nodded in thanks and then sat down.

As soon as the Standing Committee meeting was over, the news that Jiang Zhiqing served as the Director of the Economic Development Zone Management Committee spread throughout the officialdom of Chongjin County. At that time, many people congratulated Jiang Zhiqing. However, at this time, Jiang Zhiqing appeared relatively calm in front of Su Xinghui and did not have that kind of ecstatic look, which made Su Xinghui's impression of him even better.

Su Xinghui said: "Comrade Jiang Zhiqing, the work in your bureau has been done quite well recently."

Su Xinghui's first sentence was not to notify Jiang Zhiqing of the news of serving as the Director of the Management Committee, which surprised Jiang Zhiqing a little.
