Outside the window, snowflakes floated down like cotton wool.

Huo Qinqun stood up, looked at the snow outside, and smiled and said, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year will be a good year."

Lu Zheng slowly drank the tea without saying a word.

Dong Kuan walked to Huo Qinqun and enjoyed the snow with Huo Qinqun. He also smiled and said, "The snow is quite heavy. When he goes back, Lao Zhang's young grandson should be clamoring to build a snowman again."

They all live in the Standing Committee. The one Dong Kuan mentioned Lao Zhang is Zhang Sheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee.

Ren Zhonghua rubbed his face and said, "The expressway is about to be closed again. I really don't know if it snows now. Is it good or not?"

Listening to his words, Huo Qinqun frowned. Ren Zhonghua sometimes speaks sarcastically, but he is unintentional, but he just listens to it.

Today, the secretary met with fewer questions, just the issue of the Supervision Bureau. Moreover, both the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee agreed, and the Wushan Municipal Party Committee could not sing a counter-tune.

Therefore, Huo Qinqun suggested that several deputy secretaries just meet in his office.

"Kin-Class Secretary, I want to talk about the use of Liu Tie." Lu Zheng suddenly started to speak.

After the International Mayor Forum, although Liu Tie was appointed as the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, he was idle. Lu Zheng did not speak out. Perhaps because he did not have a suitable seat, he suddenly mentioned it today, and Huo Qinqun turned around and said, "Mayor, regarding the use of Yu Ministry, no matter who it involves, let's discuss it after the New Year. The New Year is over, so that everyone can have a safe New Year."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "The New Year cannot affect work. Lao Wang, who is in the Foreign Affairs Office, is old and has recently entered the hospital for cancer. Although it is benign, it is not suitable to continue to lead the Foreign Affairs Office. I think there is no problem with putting Liu Tie on top. I believe that everyone can see clearly through the first Mayor's Forum."

Huo Qinqun nodded: "I know that Lao Wang is hospitalized, but I have a more suitable candidate. So, it's too late tonight, tomorrow we will meet alone, I'll tell you."

When leaving the meeting, Dong Kuan noticed that Lu Zheng's face was a little heavy and he smiled in his heart. The personnel appointments were firmly appointed. What can you do?

The snow fell non-stop, and under the moonlit night, the entire Wushan City became covered in silver, but in the morning, the giant composed of the steel and concrete jungle regained its vitality. In the midst of the bustling bustle, the white snow gradually disappeared.

In the conference room on the first floor of the Municipal Party Committee Office Building, Huo Qinqun presided over the last Standing Committee meeting of this year.

The main topic of the meeting was to review the implementation opinions of the Municipal Editorial Committee on the organizational setting, number of positions, etc. of the Supervision Bureau.

In fact, the Standing Committee members here know that the "Opinions" of the Municipal Organization Department has not only been approved by the secretary meeting, but also recognized by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Party Committee. Therefore, in a peaceful atmosphere, the "Opinions" have been unanimously affirmed by everyone.

However, in the "Opinions", the newly established Supervision Bureau will have 16 departments (offices), and the establishment of 89 administrative staff is still surprising, which is almost accelerating with the establishment of heavyweight departments like the Construction Committee.

After discussing the "Opinions", Lu Zheng turned sideways in Huo Qinqun's ear and whispered a few times. Huo Qinqun's face changed slightly, but he still nodded.

Some members of the Standing Committee here noticed this scene. Obviously, Lu Zheng was conducting a sudden attack. The relative secretary was reluctant, but he had to agree with Lu Zheng's speech.

Lu Zheng put down the teacup in his hand and said with a serious expression: "Comrades, I just got some news before coming to the meeting. What are the following words, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, don't record them, and don't spread them."

The Yu Bu who was present was immediately irritated by Lu Zheng, and the sleepy member of the Standing Committee also sat up straight and listened intently.

Lu Zheng continued: "The central government is preparing to clarify the administrative level of separate cities and prepare to clarify some separate cities as sub-provincial cities."

With a "buzz", the conference room immediately became a little messy, and everyone started to whisper.

Lu Zheng continued to say to himself: "We all know that although the central government has not recognized the upgrading of the party and government institutions of the municipalities with independent planning status, the notice issued a few years ago on the wage standards for several municipalities with independent planning status increased the wage starting point of eight municipalities, and listed the positions of section chiefs of bureaus and departments in the salary table. In fact, it is to raise the institutional level of the committee, office, and bureau-level work departments of these eight municipalities with independent planning status by a level, and at the same time add a new level, a department-level organization located between bureaus and departments.

Listening to Lu Zheng's words, everyone's discussion gradually became less and less.

"But among these eight separate cities where the salary standards are adjusted, there is no Wushan. Our Wushan, like Chuncheng, decided to add this level to our municipal departments between the commission, bureau and department. However, as we all know, our Wushan's administrative status has not been recognized in the central government."

"Now, the central government is preparing to clarify the concept of sub-provincial cities. For our Wushan, we will face a very serious problem. What if the first batch of sub-provincial cities are not without our Wushan? We all know that in fact, among the current independent planned cities, our Wushan's economic strength ranks at the forefront. To be honest, according to the comprehensive assessment of development potential, urban humanistic environment, etc., we should rank at the top."

"There is a question. If our Wushan is excluded from the first sub-provincial cities, what impact will it have on our Wushan?"

Lu Zheng picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, and continued: "Fighting for the proper administrative status for Wushan is by no means that our Wushan team is fighting for its own selfish interests, but for a greater development space for Wushan. If you don't advance against the current, you will retreat. If you don't go up Wushan this time, I think the status of our special economic zone will be in name only, and the development of urban functions will be greatly restricted. Compared with other provincial cities, there will be no advantages, and in the end, it will inevitably become the most popular."

Ren Zhonghua interrupted: "Mayor, is this news reliable?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "If I were not sure, I wouldn't say it now. Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. It may be next year or the year after, but the central government has made a clear decision to make the sub-provincial city clear. "

Ren Zhonghua immediately became enthusiastic. If Wushan is clearly defined as a sub-provincial city, then everyone here will easily raise the situation. Today, it is as difficult as climbing Qianren Peak to climb another situation if you can sit in this conference room. However, if you are in the city administrative level, everyone here can easily rise.

Ren Zhonghua frowned: "This time we can't lose our hooves anymore. Brothers City will also get news soon. I think we need to prepare early."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Lu Zheng said: "I have been thinking about what unique advantages does a city have in terms of economics to environment to humanities, and in all aspects, specifically, in Wushan? If you just play the economic card, I think it cannot reflect our overall development concept of Wushan. So, I have an idea. We just let the world know Wushan through the mayor's forum, and our goal is to become an international metropolis. In the future, Wushan should contact the Western world with a more open-minded attitude. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, we are also facing tremendous pressure. Breaking Western sanctions is our top priority. Our Wushan can completely serve as a bridge and link for domestic and external contacts."

"So, in the Foreign Affairs Office, I want to highlight its functions. The former director Wang Hengyun is old and in poor health. I think it is not good enough to add burden to him. Therefore, I want to transfer Liu Tie to take on the role of assistant mayor, so he will have real voice in coordinating cooperation between the city's external liaison departments and in overall arrangements. I will not introduce the comrade Liu Tie's abilities. I believe everyone can see clearly. I believe that if he is in charge of foreign affairs, we can take a new level regardless of investment promotion, foreign exchange, or learning excellent foreign urban management experience."

As he said that, Lu Zheng looked at Ren Zhonghua, "Secretary Zhonghua, what do you think of me?"

Ren Zhonghua hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Then Lu Zheng asked the deputy secretary and the Organization Department Minister Xu Fengrui, who also agreed.

After Executive Vice Mayor Chen Jiaqiang took the initiative to speak up for Lu Zheng, several other members of the Standing Committee expressed their opinions, all supporting Lu Zheng's opinions.

No wonder, seeing that two deputy secretaries took the lead in voting for votes, more people agreed, because this not only involves Wushan's struggle for the status of a sub-provincial city, but also involves everyone's own interests. At this time, many people were thinking, let alone, if Wushan wants to be rated as a sub-provincial level this time, he will be more sure of it with Lu Zheng. You have to admit that Lu Zheng can really make trouble, and as long as he wants to make trouble, he rarely makes mistakes.

Just what Lu Zheng has done over the years is actually nothing. Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about Qinglong’s Dawangzhuang. Although it finally became a typical example set by Lao Huo, you should know that if you understand the history of Wushan, you should know that this is the foundation laid by Lu Zheng.

I also heard that Changming Group was introduced by Lu Zheng. It can be said that without Changming Group, there would be no central government’s plan to decide to build China’s Silicon Valley in Wushan, and Wushan would not become a special economic zone, nor would it be as vigorous as it is now.

Sometimes when I think about it, I really have meat to eat with Lu Zheng.

After most of the Standing Committee members made their statements, Lu Zheng looked at Huo Qinqun and asked, "Secretary of Qinqun, what about your opinion?"

Huo Qinqun smiled and said, "Okay, that's it." The finger joints holding the handle of the teacup were already slightly white due to the force.

Chen Jiaqiang sat far away from Huo Qinqun and Lu Zheng, but he could feel Huo Qinqun's anger faintly and laughed in his heart. This is the first time that Old Huo has experienced Lu Zheng's power.
