Chapter 309

Shan Guozhi was very angry. Bi Qingshui, the Organization Department head who had been relatively close to him in the past, was also contrary to his usual behavior this time. The proposed promotion list he put forward this time was not at all to Shan Guozhi's liking. One must know that in the past, whenever Shan Guozhi wanted to promote someone, he would tell Bi Qingshui the list directly, and he rarely gave discounts, but this time, most of Shan Guozhi's people were not on the list.

Shan Guozhi vaguely felt that in this cadre adjustment, he might suffer a crushing defeat.

However, Shi Yingjun, whom he proposed as a candidate for deputy director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, was still on the list, which made him feel slightly relieved. It seems Bi Qingshui still didn't dare to offend both him and Shi Meili at once.

Yes, in the end, Shan Guozhi still pushed Shi Yingjun's name up. He was truly afraid of this crazy woman, Shi Meili. Although he was about to reach the age limit for this term as county head, he still hoped to get off the train smoothly, rather than being thrown off a moving train.

He thought, forget it, anyway, it's only his last few years, so he would satisfy whatever demands Shi Meili had.

Hearing Shi Yingjun's name on the proposed list, Shi Meili openly threw a flirtatious glance at Shan Guozhi at the Standing Committee meeting. This glance made Shan Guozhi shiver. He would never provoke this woman again, no matter what. He straightened his face and sat upright, looking every bit the image of a dignified leading cadre.

Looking at this sanctimonious appearance, Shi Meili's mind was filled with the image of Shan Guozhi being so impatient with her, his somewhat bloated body wriggling on her. Thinking of the ugly, unknown side of such a great county head, Shi Meili felt a sense of conquest, and she even felt a wave of excitement surging in a certain part of her body.

The Standing Committee meeting proceeded in an orderly manner. The candidates for some cadre adjustments were quickly passed. The Standing Committee members all gained something. The will of Deputy County Party Committee Secretary Sun Bingcheng, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Chai Weicai, Organization Department Head Bi Qingshui, and others was implemented. Of course, Ji Tao and Zhang Kaishan also gained quite a bit.

However, when it came to discussing the candidates favored by Shan Guozhi, people raised objections one after another. It was no wonder people had opinions; these people had poor reputations, and the fact that they could be strongly supported by Shan Guozhi naturally had unknown insider deals behind it.

Shan Guozhi, of course, spared no effort to support them, but every time it came to a show of hands, the ones who firmly stood with him were always Executive Deputy County Head Qi Hesheng and Propaganda Department Head Shi Meili—just two or three small cats. The few people who would support him in the past either abstained or opposed. The Standing Committee meeting was more than half over, and Shan Guozhi had still gained nothing.

At this time, Shan Guozhi deeply realized how much Tao Yan's incident had affected him. If Tao Yan were still there, he would have at least four votes in the Standing Committee, which would already be the largest force in the Standing Committee. Then those guys who saw which way the wind was blowing wouldn't dare to openly oppose him, right?

Finally, the two candidates for deputy director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau began to be voted on. One of these candidates was Shi Yingjun, and the other was Zhang Shilin, an old subordinate of County Party Committee Deputy Secretary Sun Bingcheng.

Shan Guozhi was determined to win this position. He had to be determined; what if this crazy woman, Shi Meili, went crazy?

He was the first to raise his hand to clearly support Shi Yingjun, and he spoke at length about Shi Yingjun's strengths. While speaking, he also looked at the neutral Standing Committee members with pleading eyes, hoping they could support him for once.

However, the result of the vote was cold: Shi Yingjun received three votes of support from Shan Guozhi, Qi Hesheng, and Shi Meili, but Zhang Shilin received four votes of support from Ji Tao, Sun Bingcheng, Zhang Kaishan, and Gu Kangping. The other Standing Committee members all abstained, but this already meant that Zhang Shilin had won.

This result made Shan Guozhi both angry and terrified. He couldn't help but look at Shi Meili. Sure enough, Shi Meili also looked at him, her eyes still carrying murderous intent, which made Shan Guozhi shiver again.

After several voting results came out, it was the turn of the candidate for deputy township head of Meng Hu Ling Township. Shan Guozhi heard Su Xinghui's name. Bi Qingshui introduced, "Comrade Su Xinghui is an excellent young cadre in our county. He is a college student assigned to our county last year. He took the initiative to request to be assigned to the poorest and most remote Meng Hu Ling Township in our county..."

Listening to Bi Qingshui's introduction, Shan Guozhi only felt his chest filled with anger. It was this Su Xinghui again. In the past half year or so, he couldn't remember how many times he had heard this name. Every time he heard this name, it meant something was going to happen, and it was something very unfavorable to him.

In short, in the past half year or so, Shan Guozhi felt that everything was going against him, completely different from the smooth sailing of the past. He is a somewhat superstitious person, and he always felt that this had something to do with this Su Xinghui. The half year or so since he started working happened to be the half year or so that Shan Guozhi began to have bad luck. Could it be that he is his nemesis?

Shan Guozhi was ruthless in his heart: this kid is about to become a deputy township head? He must ruin this matter. When Shan Guozhi became a deputy township head, he was already over thirty. He wants to be a deputy township head at such a young age? There is no such cheap thing!

Shan Guozhi suppressed the anger in his heart and waited for Bi Qingshui to finish speaking.
