(The two-in-one chapter is written smoothly. I really don’t know where to disassemble it, so I posted it together)

Chen Ping was promoted to deputy mayor. This news is not a big deal for the officialdom of Luzhuang City. Instead, it makes everyone feel that Chen Ping has finally achieved success. After all, he was already an assistant to the mayor before, and he couldn't even be a step away from the deputy mayor. He could only wait for a suitable opportunity.

Now, Chen Ping helped Concubine Xiao Shuxian completely settle their opponent Zhou Qian and laid the foundation for the future political situation in Luzhuang City. At this time, if Chen Ping is not promoted, then the entire Luzhuang officialdom will be unfair for Chen Ping.

To promote a deputy mayor, perhaps from a legal perspective, you only need to go through the election and appointment of the people's congress of the city. However, for the entire officialdom, this legal procedure is the last step. Before this, it needs to be discussed at the Standing Committee meeting of the city, and then file and submit a record and approval from the superior municipal party committee or even the provincial party committee. After all this is arranged, come back and go to the city's people's congress to go through a motion.

This is a hidden rule for the appointment of officials in the officialdom. Chen Ping's appointment of deputy mayor is naturally no exception.

Just the third day after Chen Ping was discharged from the hospital, Concubine Xiao held a meeting of the city standing committee. Since this meeting was to discuss the appointment of Chen Ping's deputy mayor, Chen Ping was also allowed to attend this meeting of the standing committee.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xiao Shufei, who presided over the meeting, took the lead in speaking out and said: "Comrades, our Luzhuang City was not calm in the previous period. Many unpleasant things happened. Many leading cadres made heartbreaking mistakes. However, in these things, our Luzhuang City also emerged with cadres worthy of the trust of the Party and the people, namely Comrade Chen Ping."

"Since Comrade Chen Ping arrived in Luzhuang City, he has been working seriously from the unknown Environmental Protection Bureau to the Audit Bureau, until now the assistant to the mayor, and his work achievements are obvious to all. In the vicious cases that occurred some time ago, he did not fear power in the face of principled issues of right and wrong, and even put his life safety aside, and must fight against all unhealthy trends. This is a spirit worthy of affirmation and learning from us."

Concubine Xiao paused for a moment, and then continued: "Everyone knows that the special position of assistant mayor was originally specially established to examine whether a cadre is suitable for being a deputy mayor. So now, I think Comrade Chen Ping's work performance in the previous stage has proved that he is fully qualified for the deputy mayor. Therefore, I propose to end the mayor's assistant period and formally appoint Comrade Chen Ping as the deputy mayor of Luzhuang City. I wonder what everyone's opinions?"

Concubine Xiao’s problem was basically just a form. By this time, Zhou Qian had already fallen, so where could anyone dare to stop Chen Ping from being promoted? So when Concubine Xiao’s proposal was proposed, it was immediately unanimously agreed by the Standing Committee members on the scene.

No matter when in the officialdom, he speaks at the level. Although it is a little relaxed at the Standing Committee, it is the same. Therefore, Liu Minghua, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, first expressed his opinion: "I fully agree with Secretary Xiao's proposal. Comrade Chen Ping is indeed a rare good cadre in our party. He joined the party in college, which shows that he has high awareness and advanced thoughts. This is the talent needed by our party and the government!"

Then the Executive Vice Mayor Ma Weiguo, who spoke, said: "I also agree with Secretary Xiao's proposal. Comrade Chen Ping was a mayor's assistant some time ago and had a lot of work intersections with me. In Comrade Chen Ping's work, I learned that many of Comrade Chen Ping's ideas are very novel and very helpful to the future development of Luzhuang City. So I think promoting Comrade Chen Ping as Deputy Mayor will help to take the development of Luzhuang City to a higher level!"

Next is the Organization Minister Tang Wen, who said: "As the Organization Minister, I need to observe the work of every cadre, and Comrade Chen Ping has always been my most important observation object. Whether he is in the Environmental Protection Bureau or the Audit Bureau now, his work has always been widely praised by the people and colleagues. He has also firmly drawn a line with the ** forces. From the perspective of the Organization Department's work, I can't find any reason to oppose the appointment of Comrade Chen Ping as Deputy Mayor."

After these three Standing Committee members, the other Municipal Standing Committee members also spoke in words. Although the contents are different, there is only one central idea, that is, supporting Chen Ping's appointment of the deputy mayor and giving examples to support his own statement.

In such a one-sided situation, it would not make much sense to continue the discussion. Therefore, after the last standing committee member's speech was over, Xiao Shufei, who presided over the meeting, concluded: "It seems that everyone is very acknowledging Comrade Chen Ping's work. Although no one has raised any objections, in order to respect the democracy within the party, we still need to raise our hands to vote. If everyone agrees to appoint Comrade Chen Ping as our deputy mayor of Luzhuang City, please raise your hand."

After saying that, Concubine Xiao took the lead in raising her hand, and the other members of the city standing up their hands together.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Xiao put down her hand and said, "It seems that everyone still supports Comrade Chen Ping very much. Then I finally announced that the Municipal Party Committee Office plans to appoint Comrade Chen Ping as the Deputy Mayor of Luzhuang City and submit it to the superior Municipal Party Committee and Provincial Party Committee for inspection and approval as soon as possible."

Shen Jianling, director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, replied that he would definitely complete the task. Concubine Xiao nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Chen Ping and said, "Comrade Chen Ping, I will call you Mayor Chen in the future. You can say a few words too."

Chen Ping nodded, but Chen Ping was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, in order to express his gratitude and respect, he stood up and bowed to the audience, and then said, "Here, I am very grateful to Secretary Xiao for his cultivation. Secretary Xiao has been teaching me how to do things, and Secretary Xiao is also supporting me. I just want to say one thing, thank you Secretary Xiao!"

Chen Ping continued: "And with all the leaders, I am also very grateful for the kindness of my leaders. Actually, I am not a very smart official. I just strictly follow the party discipline and national laws when doing things, and strictly implement all the orders of Secretary Xiao and the organization. So from another perspective, I have not achieved any results. If I really have any results, it should be given to me by Secretary Xiao and all the leaders here."

No one doesn’t like to listen to good things, it has nothing to do with the level of personal level, so when they hear Chen Ping say that his achievements are good at leaders, everyone smiles with satisfaction.

"I am still too young. The position of deputy mayor is definitely a burden to me, but since Secretary Xiao and all the leaders here have handed over this burden to me, I will definitely try my best to sit down him well and never let down the organization's support and trust in me!"

After Chen Ping finished speaking, there was a warm applause from the scene. The applause was not perfunctory and polite, but was naturally driven by Chen Ping's passionate and powerful tone.

The applause then weakened, and Concubine Xiao said: "From Mayor Chen's speech, we have reason to believe that Mayor Chen's work in the future will definitely reassure the Party and the people."

Since the only issue has been passed unanimously, and Chen Ping also made an inspiring speech at the end, the Municipal Standing Committee meeting ended here. Xiao Shufei, who presided over the meeting, said in the end: "Okay, everyone expressed their opinions in today's meeting and discussed the appointment of Comrade Chen Ping's deputy mayor. There are no problems now, so I announce that this Standing Committee meeting ends here and the meeting will be terminated!"

After saying that, Concubine Xiao took the lead in leaving the conference room, and then the other members of the Standing Committee came up to greet Chen Ping intimately.

The reason for this is very simple. It depends on Xiao Shufei's posture. After Chen Ping was officially appointed as deputy mayor, he would definitely become a member of the city standing committee. Even if he ranks at the bottom, as long as he has the support of Xiao Shufei, his power should not be underestimated. Therefore, these Standing Committee members must not fail to establish a good relationship with their future colleagues in advance, regardless of whether they are in the rankings.

Liu Minghua, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, said to Chen Ping: "Congratulations to Mayor Chen. You are a perfect success and you are about to become the official deputy mayor of Luzhuang City."

"Secretary Liu, don't say that. I am not the deputy mayor yet. I am just appointing an appointment. The opinions of the superior municipal party committee and the provincial party committee have not yet come out!" Chen Ping said, "And I can be appointed as deputy mayor because of the support of Secretary Xiao and Secretary Liu. If I want me to thank Secretary Liu for his support."

Liu Minghua nodded with satisfaction at Chen Ping's humble attitude, and continued: "Mayor Chen is too modest. Mayor Chen has been to Luzhuang for more than a year, and his work performance is obvious to all. If Mayor Chen cannot pass the appointment, then I am afraid that no one in Luzhuang will be qualified to be appointed."

"Secretary Liu said this so much that I was flattered, and I was a little flattered." Chen Ping said.

Liu Minghua waved his hand and said, "Mayor Chen, being too humble is pride! I hope Mayor Chen can continue to work hard in the future and contribute to the development of Luzhuang City. Don't let down the trust of the organization!"

Chen Ping cooperated and said: "Please rest assured Secretary Liu. I will work hard and will never let down the trust of Secretary Liu and the organization!"

"Mayor Chen's attitude is very good. If I have time in the future, I hope to have a meal and chat with Mayor Chen and talk about Mayor Chen's future development plan." Liu Minghua said.

"Okay, if Secretary Liu is free, I will definitely invite Secretary Liu to dinner." Chen Ping said.

After Liu Minghua left, Executive Vice Mayor Ma Weiguo came over and said to Chen Ping: "Congratulations to Mayor Chen. The government work has been completed in recent times by Mayor Chen, so I think the appointment of Mayor Chen is very timely and appropriate."

"Mayor Ma said this and made me blush," said Chen Ping. "Who doesn't know that after Zhou Qian was deprived of the mayor's power, Mayor Ma has always supported the overall situation? It can be said that this time, Mayor Ma is the real hero behind the scenes when dealing with Zhou Qian's case. Without Mayor Ma's support, it would be difficult for me to achieve any work."

Chen Ping's words made Ma Weiguo smile, and he continued to say to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen is too modest to say this. In fact, I did not do much in this matter. It was all borne by Mayor Chen. Therefore, this appointment of Mayor Chen is also an affirmation of Mayor Chen's work in the organization."

"Thank you for your praise," Chen Ping said, "But although I have passed the transition period of the mayor's assistant, I think I still lack a lot of experience since the real deputy mayor. Mayor Ma has led the municipal government for so many years, and I just hope that Mayor Ma can give more advice in the future."

"Mayor Chen is so kind," said Ma Weiguo. "In the future, everyone will be the deputy mayor and are all members of the city government leadership team. If Mayor Chen has anything to do not understand, please come and ask me."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Then I will thank Mayor Ma for his generosity first."

Chen Ping was very humble in front of Liu Minghua and Ma Weiguo, which is not surprising, because although they were just first-level cadres, they ranked second and third in the standing committee members who no longer had the mayor. Perhaps half a head lower than the city party secretary Xiao Shufei, but their influence in Luzhuang City cannot be underestimated. Chen Ping had no idea of ​​fighting with Luzhuang officialdom to the end, so it is not unacceptable to be humble to these standing committee members who are ranked high.

However, Chen Ping was humble, but he would never lower his attitude in front of everyone. Facing the members of the Standing Committee who ranked lower, he did not need to deliberately lower his attitude. On the contrary, other members of the Standing Committee need to lower their attitude towards Chen Ping. The most obvious one is Shen Jianling, the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, who ranked lower.

Originally, the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office ranked the bottom in the city standing committee member, especially Shen Jianling was also the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office promoted by the former secretary of the municipal party committee. Now Xiao Shufei has been airborne as the secretary of the municipal party committee. Although Shen Jianling has not removed his position, his presence has undoubtedly become quite weak. Facing Xiao Shufei's confidant, he has to work hard to please.

Shen Jianling said to Chen Ping: "Congratulations to Mayor Chen for his promotion! It is said that the municipal party committee and the municipal government are inseparable, so I dare to predict that with Mayor Chen's extremely strong ability to do things, even the mayor is absolutely no problem!"

"Director Shen has been awarded, but I am still self-aware. The pressure on the deputy mayor is already very high. If I give the mayor position, I will really hand in the letter of resignation." Chen Ping said.

Shen Jianling gave Chen Ping a thumbs up and said, "From Mayor Chen's words, I know that Mayor Chen is a leader with a strong sense of responsibility. This is a blessing for the future development of our Luzhuang City!"

"Then I can only say that I have to work hard to meet Director Shen's expectations." Chen Ping said, "In addition, we have to trouble Director Shen to worry about the materials submitted to the superior municipal party committee and even the provincial party committee."

In response, Shen Jianling patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured that Mayor Chen. When I go back, I must ask the Municipal Party Committee Office to work overtime to make a perfect piece of materials for Mayor Chen as soon as possible."

The politeness in the officialdom often tells each other a lot of complimentary nonsense, but it is these nonsense that outlines the fullness of the officialdom.

Chen Ping and Shen Jianling chatted for a while before walking out of the conference room. After they parted, Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. Although he praised each other with a bunch of standing committee members, it sounded very awesome, but it was also very tiring to maintain a mechanical smile. Chen Ping now felt that the muscles on his face were almost cramping.

Chen Ping gave a massage on his face with his hands, but at this moment, a woman suddenly appeared in front of him. Chen Ping said in surprise: "Jiang Nan?"

Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Director Chen, no, now he should be called Mayor Chen. Isn't it very much to chat with the Standing Committee members who symbolize the highest power of Luzhuang City in the conference room?"

"You spare me. When chatting with those bureaucrats, you must not only keep a smile at all times, but also beware of yourself not saying anything wrong. You are tired!" Chen Ping complained, "It's better to be your true self."

Jiang Nan deliberately said, "I said Mayor Chen, didn't you always say that you were particularly eager for power because of your family environment? Now Secretary Xiao has been promoted to your position, and you also have the opportunity to truly sit in the conference room of the Municipal Standing Committee and give guidance to the city's development policies. Isn't this exactly what you desire?"

"I said to Secretary Jiang, you came to me specifically. You are planning to ridicule and mock me like this, right?" Chen Ping said.

"Who told you, a bastard, to bully people all day long. Occasionally ridiculing and mocking you is considered as a way for heaven," Jiang Nan said proudly.

Chen Ping spread his hands: "Okay, female hero, what are you going to do next? Do you want to kill or cut off?"

"I want you to treat me to a meal!" Jiang Nan said.

Chen Ping exclaimed and widened his eyes. Seeing Chen Ping's surprise look, Jiang Nan couldn't help but feel so angry that she tickled. She stamped her feet and said, "Chen Ping, you bastard, agreed to ask you for a while and asked Secretary Xiao's plan. You just treat me to dinner. You guys won't forget you now, want to pay the debt, right?"

It is definitely impossible for Chen Ping to refuse the debt. Chen Ping has a lot of money in his pocket and he can't afford a meal. However, Chen Ping forgot it was true. But there was nothing he could do. After all, Chen Ping didn't take it seriously if he asked Jiang Nan to help inquire about the news. Then, he naturally didn't care much about the treat. Now that Jiang Nan raised it, Chen Ping suddenly reacted.

Of course, Chen Ping could not tell Jiang Nan about this, so he said, "How could he be a debtor? But I didn't expect you to go there for this matter. Then tell me, when will you be going to kill me?"

"It's Saturday noon. As for the location, I'll pick you up then. Are there any problems?" Jiang Nan asked.

"No problem." Chen Ping replied.
