Chapter 4135

Given Cao Yuanhao's current situation, he was indeed no longer suitable to continue serving as the standing vice mayor of Linshan City. Su Xinghui was not surprised at all that the Provincial Party Committee decided to transfer Cao Yuanhao to the provincial level.

As for what Fang Zhonglin said about transferring Cao Yuanhao to the provincial level and arranging a suitable position for him, that was naturally just talk. What position was Cao Yuanhao suitable for now? It would likely just be an idle position to give him a place to collect a salary; it wouldn't matter whether he went to work or not.

In other words, Cao Yuanhao's political career had basically come to an end.

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "I support the Provincial Party Committee's decision."

Fang Zhonglin said, "I won't beat around the bush with you. After Comrade Cao Yuanhao leaves his current post, the position of standing vice mayor in your Linshan City cannot be left vacant. Since this is the person who will be working with you, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Su Xinghui was not surprised. Since Fang Zhonglin had called him here today, he naturally wanted to seek his opinion on this matter. However, this moved Su Xinghui; Fang Zhonglin's support for him was truly tireless.

When selecting leaders for Linshan City, Fang Zhonglin valued Su Xinghui's opinion highly and cared very much about whether the person could cooperate well with Su Xinghui, basically using the ability to cooperate well with Su Xinghui as the standard.

For example, Qian Jian'an. When Fang Zhonglin transferred him to Linshan City to serve as Municipal Party Secretary, he valued the fact that he had a good personal relationship with Su Xinghui. However, Qian Jian'an later clashed with Su Xinghui because of his own desire for power, which was something Fang Zhonglin couldn't control.

But later, Fang Zhonglin transferred away Nie Xingde, who didn't get along with Su Xinghui but was close to Qian Jian'an. Gu Fanghua, who was transferred in, cooperated very well with Su Xinghui; this was a warning to Qian Jian'an.

Now, on the Linshan Municipal Standing Committee, the standing committee members who supported Su Xinghui's work held an absolute majority, which made Su Xinghui's work in Linshan City much smoother. Su Xinghui knew in his heart that this was the result of Fang Zhonglin's strong support for him.

If it weren't for Fang Zhonglin's strong support, even if Su Xinghui could still control the situation, it would definitely be much more strenuous.

Now that Cao Yuanhao was to be transferred, Fang Zhonglin still wanted to seek Su Xinghui's opinion for the new standing vice mayor of Linshan. This level of support was truly significant, and Su Xinghui naturally knew it.

Su Xinghui said to Fang Zhonglin, "Secretary Fang, thank you!"

Fang Zhonglin waved his hand and said, "No need to say such things. I am also proceeding from the perspective of work, and the candidate you recommend might not necessarily be finalized. I just need to understand from various aspects to choose the person most suitable for this position."

Su Xinghui nodded and said without hesitation, "Secretary Fang, I think Comrade Xing Guodong is very suitable to serve as the standing vice mayor of Linshan City!"

Fang Zhonglin didn't even blink and said, "Reason?!"

Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Fang, Comrade Xing Guodong has been working in Linshan City for three years. During these three years, he has served as a member of the Linshan Municipal Standing Committee and Vice Mayor of Linshan City, mainly in charge of economy, urban construction, and transportation. Over these three years, Linshan City's work achievements in these areas are obvious to all. In addition..."

Su Xinghui paused and said, "After Comrade Cao Yuanhao took office in Linshan, he was away from Linshan for a long time. Comrade Xing Guodong took over a part of the work he was in charge of and also completed it excellently. It can be said that he has actually fulfilled the duties of the standing vice mayor of the Linshan Municipal Government and has done so very well. Therefore, I think he is very suitable for this position."

After Su Xinghui finished speaking, Fang Zhonglin nodded slightly and said, "I think the candidate you recommended is quite good. I also have some understanding of Comrade Xing Guodong; this comrade has relatively strong ability and quite outstanding work achievements. Alright, the Provincial Party Committee will carefully consider the candidate you recommended."

Su Xinghui said, "If Comrade Xing Guodong can serve as the standing vice mayor of Linshan City, I believe it will be a great promotion for the work of Linshan City."

Fang Zhonglin laughed, "Comrade Xinghui, you are truly tireless in recommending someone!"

Su Xinghui also laughed, "Secretary Fang, I am also proceeding from the perspective of work. Comrade Xing Guodong has indeed helped me a lot in recent years; he has done a lot of concrete work and shouldered a lot of pressure for me. Otherwise, even if I were made of iron, I wouldn't be able to drive many nails!"

Fang Zhonglin nodded and said, "Yes, a good team is very necessary. Even if the team members are all very capable, if they are not united, they won't be able to do their work well. There is a story that illustrates this point well: several horses pull a cart together; these horses are all very strong, but each horse walks in a different direction. Can the cart move?"

Fang Zhonglin's words were filled with emotion. He must have encountered such situations many times. If the horses pulling the cart each go their own way, how can they pull the cart? It would be quite good if they didn't pull the cart apart.

The reason Fang Zhonglin supported Su Xinghui so strongly was because he didn't want too many people holding Su Xinghui back in Linshan. Su Xinghui had brought him too much honor. In the few years he was in Baozhou, Baozhou became the leader in Yanbei. Now that he was in Linshan, Fang Zhonglin hoped he could carve out a new world again.
