Chapter 3434

Su Xinghui's energy was now mainly focused on these impoverished mountainous areas. He would go to an impoverished mountain village at least every week to inspect, observe their natural environment, and see if there were any shortcuts to help them get rid of poverty and become rich.

In the final analysis, the work of poverty alleviation was not just giving them money. Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. Only by letting them develop on their own is the best way to alleviate poverty.

For example, in Niutouyu, they didn't directly give money to the people there, but the economy there developed, and the people in Niutouyu naturally became rich. Not to mention anything else, just opening a homestay or farmhouse at home could also earn a lot of money.

Su Xinghui had run a lot in these impoverished mountainous areas during this period and was very clear about the situation of every mountain village. He basically had a bottom line in his heart about how to carry out poverty alleviation work step by step.

However, what Su Xinghui didn't expect was that Lin Yongchang actually submitted a resignation report to the Municipal Party Committee. His reason was that he was old and in poor health, and he was no longer able to handle the heavy work of the District Party Secretary, so he hoped that the Municipal Party Committee could arrange for him to retreat to the second line and recuperate.

Lin Yongchang's resignation report made Zhao Yichen very surprised. He didn't expect Lin Yongchang to resign, because Lin Yongchang was still two or three years away from retirement age. Generally speaking, cadres at his level would not take the initiative to retire early and would definitely wait until retirement age to retire.

And Zhao Yichen had never thought of letting Lin Yongchang retire early, because Lin Yongchang still supported his work relatively well, and his work performance could be considered satisfactory. If Zhao Yichen proposed to let him retire early, he would inevitably get a bad reputation for forcing old comrades, which was unnecessary for Zhao Yichen.

Surprised, Zhao Yichen talked to Lin Yongchang, wanting to retain him. However, Lin Yongchang seemed to have made up his mind. He said that he was old, and his old-age diseases such as three highs, cervical spondylosis, and rheumatism had all come, and he was really unable to handle the current heavy work, so he hoped that Secretary Zhao could understand.

Zhao Yichen could indeed understand Lin Yongchang's reason. As a District Party Secretary, the work pressure was indeed not small. Working overtime was a common occurrence, and there were often social engagements, and drinking a lot of alcohol, which was indeed easy to suffer from those old-age diseases.

Zhao Yichen failed to retain him after repeated attempts. After asking the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for instructions, he agreed to Lin Yongchang's resignation report. The Provincial Party Committee appointed Lin Yongchang as the Vice Chairman of the Baozhou Municipal Committee of the CPPCC, which could be considered Lin Yongchang's formal retreat to the second line.

The real reason for Lin Yongchang's resignation might be known only to Su Xinghui among the leaders of the Baozhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Su Xinghui estimated that Lin Yongchang resigned voluntarily because he was afraid of his retaliation.

This was showing weakness to Su Xinghui, hoping that Su Xinghui would not pursue him in the future.

Su Xinghui didn't guess wrong. Lin Yongchang's resignation was indeed because of this reason. In Lin Yongchang's view, his daughter-in-law Xiao Qian had offended Su Xinghui quite severely. If it were him, he would definitely not let it go easily.

Especially Su Xinghui's stern refusal of the gifts he sent, which made Lin Yongchang even more terrified. In his view, refusing his gifts was a clear signal that Su Xinghui would not let him go. Lin Yongchang even felt that Su Xinghui was already about to take action.

Therefore, after Su Xinghui refused his gifts, Lin Yongchang thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any useful way. With his connections, none of them could be used, let alone fighting Su Xinghui head-on. Lin Yongchang was somewhat desperate.

Therefore, after hesitating for a few days, Lin Yongchang finally made a decision to just resign.

Lin Yongchang was still two or three years away from retirement age. Retiring early was of course a loss, but he felt that he had to retire, because he was not Zhao Yichen's confidant in the first place. It was not easy for him to work steadily until retirement, not to mention that he had offended Su Xinghui. Just resign and show weakness.

He resigned voluntarily, and perhaps Zhao Yichen could give him a good arrangement. Sure enough, after he resigned, he was arranged to serve as Vice Chairman of the Municipal Committee of the CPPCC, which was already a quite good arrangement. He could enjoy his old age there and could also inspect everywhere from time to time, which could be considered a municipal leader.

Lin Yongchang was relatively satisfied with this arrangement.

However, Su Xinghui was somewhat dumbfounded. Was Lin Yongchang so timid? He didn't look like such a timid person usually. Could his fierce reputation have reached this point? Scaring a member of the Municipal Party Standing Committee and District Party Secretary into resigning voluntarily?

Of course, Lin Yongchang's resignation was good news for some people, because this vacated a good position. The position of Baozhou District Party Secretary was already very attractive, not to mention that this District Party Secretary generally also served as a member of the Municipal Party Standing Committee.

Of course, the city was also very cautious about this candidate, because Baozhou District was a very important district for Baozhou City. This was the facade of Baozhou City, and it was impossible to easily arrange for someone to be the District Party Secretary here.

Around this position of District Party Secretary, many people who felt they were qualified began to move.

Coincidentally, by the end of this year, Baozhou Mayor Wei Ziming was also about to retire. This position of Mayor was very likely to be succeeded by Executive Deputy Mayor Xin Jing, and the position of Executive Deputy Mayor was very likely to be succeeded by Su Xinghui. No one had any certainty to compete with them.

However, if everything went smoothly, Xin Jing succeeded as Mayor and Su Xinghui succeeded as Executive Deputy Mayor, then Su Xinghui's position as Deputy Mayor and Standing Committee member would also be vacated.

Plus this position of Baozhou District Party Secretary, this time the Baozhou Municipal Party Standing Committee would suddenly vacate two spots, which led to more people's competition, plus a series of chain reactions, this time the competition around these two positions in Baozhou City would be very intense.

On this day, Xing Guodong came to Su Xinghui's office. As soon as Su Xinghui saw him, he knew that he must have come to find him for the position of Baozhou District Party Secretary.

Although Xing Guodong was the Yinshan County Party Secretary and a member of the Baozhou Municipal Party Standing Committee, the status of Yinshan County could not be compared with Baozhou District. The ranking of the Baozhou District Party Secretary on the Standing Committee was also higher than that of the Yinshan County Party Secretary, and the working environment and conditions of Baozhou District were also better than those of Yinshan County in all aspects.

It was very normal for Xing Guodong to want to get this position, and Xing Guodong had been the Yinshan County Party Secretary for several years, so it was indeed time to help him move to a position.

Xing Guodong arrived at Su Xinghui's office and sat down. He looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, he could be considered running for office, and Su Xinghui had always been very disgusted with this behavior, so Xing Guodong was somewhat uneasy.

However, he had to come, because he was not young anymore, in his forties, and he urgently needed to move forward so that he could possibly move to a higher position in the future.

Although Su Xinghui had always been good to him and would think of him when there was an opportunity, the competition this time was too fierce, so Xing Guodong also came with a hard scalp. At least at this time, let Su Xinghui see him and not forget him, so it was possible that Su Xinghui would recommend him to Zhao Yichen when recommending candidates.

Su Xinghui warmly asked Xing Guodong to sit down, and he also sat opposite Xing Guodong. He asked, "Guodong, how is your work recently? You must be very busy, right?"

Su Xinghui's enthusiasm made Xing Guodong's nervous mood much less. He said to Su Xinghui, "It's okay. My work recently is not too busy. It's still what you said, Mayor Su. When being a County Party Secretary, don't do everything yourself, but grasp the big and let go of the small, so that you can have time to rest!"
