Cheng Wenyong glanced at everyone present and said slowly: "I have a very fair assessment: Zhao Wenlong has a very strong working ability and is definitely a talent worth cultivating!"
Cheng Wenyong personally evaluated Zhao Wenlong, and Li Ming and others could not say anything more.
"Now we have proposed a total of two candidates, one is Zhou Yanxiang, deputy director of the Personnel Bureau, and one is my secretary Zhao Wenlong... Apart from these two, do you have any other candidates?" Cheng Wenyong asked calmly.
Everyone sat quietly on their chairs and no one spoke.
Cheng Wenyong asked three times in succession, but no one spoke. Cheng Wenyong nodded slightly: "Since no one has any other candidates, let's move to the next step and raise our hands to vote for the final candidate for the director of the county party committee office.
There are currently two backup candidates, one is Zhou Yanxiang, deputy director of the Personnel Bureau, and the other is my secretary Zhao Wenlong. Now...those who support Zhou Yanxiang, please raise your hands."
As soon as Cheng Wenyong finished speaking, Li Ming took the lead in raising his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Propaganda Minister Yan Mingli, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Ye Xiaotian, Armed Forces Minister Zhao Zilong, and Deputy County Magistrate Luo Chuan raised their hands one after another.
Li Ming stared directly at Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Changshan, with a fierce glare in his eyes. He was extremely angry at Zhao Changshan's betrayal, and he wanted to slap Zhao Changshan to death.
Yan Mingli, Ye Xiaotian and others also stared at Zhao Changshan with angry faces, and they were also full of opinions about Zhao Changshan.
Zhao Changshan lowered his head, turning a blind eye to the looks from Li Ming, Yan Mingli and others, and just smoked quietly.
"There are five people supporting Zhou Yanxiang." Cheng Wenyong announced the result: "Okay, everyone can put down their hands." After Li Ming and others put down their hands, Cheng Wenyong continued: "Those who support Zhao Wenlong, please raise your hands." After that,
Cheng Wenyong took the lead in raising his right hand.
Ma Xiaoyao was the second to raise his hand, followed closely by Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee Hua Dekai, and Organization Director Zhuang Hu also raised their hands.
Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Changshan put out the cigarette butt in his hand and slowly raised his right hand.
"Whoa!"
Li Ming's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes looking at Zhao Changshan were full of anger!
Just when Cheng Wenyong was about to announce the results, a scene that surprised everyone happened. Luo Mingzhang, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission who had been sitting quietly drinking tea, slowly raised his hand.
Li Ming was immediately stunned. It took him a long time to come to his senses. What was going on? Hasn't Luo Mingzhang always remained neutral? Why did he suddenly support Cheng Wenyong today? Could it be that... Luo Mingzhang has been recruited by Cheng Wenyong?
Not only Li Ming was surprised, but Cheng Wenyong, Ma Xiaoyao and others were also surprised. They did not expect that Luo Mingzhang would actually raise his hand to support Zhao Wenlong. This is really incredible.
Ever since Luo Mingzhang became the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he has always remained neutral and never participated in other people's disputes. It has been several years. Today, for some reason, Luo Mingzhang, who has always remained neutral, actually expressed his support for Cheng Wenyong. This... This is really disappointing.
People were surprised.
In the end, Ma Xiaoyao came to his senses first and glanced at Cheng Wenyong: "Secretary Cheng, you can announce the results."
"Oh...ah..." Cheng Wenyong came back to his senses, took a deep look at Luo Mingzhang, and then said: "There are six people supporting Zhao Wenlong. Okay... everyone put down their hands." When everyone put down their hands, Cheng Wenyong
Said: "Now that the results have come out, it is obvious that more people support Zhao Wenlong, so... I announce: From now on, Zhao Wenlong will serve as the director of the County Party Committee Office."
Li Ming lost... he lost completely. He sat on a chair with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Today Luo Mingzhang suddenly expressed his support for Cheng Wenyong, killing Li Ming by surprise. It took Li Ming a long time to recover. At this moment, Li Ming hated Luo Mingzhang in his heart, and also hated Cheng Wenyong and Ma Xiaoyao even more.
Li Ming felt uncomfortable, but Ma Xiaoyao was happy. Seeing Li Ming's extremely gloomy face, Ma Xiaoyao didn't know how happy he was. If he hadn't been concerned about the occasion, Ma Xiaoyao would have said something sarcastic to Li Ming.
In fact, even if Luo Mingzhang did not support Cheng Wenyong, Li Ming would still lose, because even without Luo Mingzhang, Li Ming and Cheng Wenyong would only be tied. According to previous regulations, if the county committee standing committee meeting did not reach a result after deliberation, the county committee
The secretary has the final say, so even without Luo Mingzhang's support, Cheng Wenyong can still defeat Li Ming.
From the day Zhao Changshan betrayed Li Ming, it was destined that Li Ming would lose today.
"Okay, that's all for today's meeting. Let's adjourn." After Cheng Wenyong finished speaking, he stood up and left the meeting room.
Ma Xiaoyao followed closely and left the conference room. Others also got up and left one after another.
After a while, only Li Ming, Yan Mingli and others were left in the conference room.
"County Magistrate Li...today..." Yan Mingli was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Ming.
"We are in trouble today." Li Ming said in a deep voice, "But don't worry, it won't take long before I will make Cheng Wenyong, Ma Xiaoyao and others pay a heavy price!" At the end of the sentence, Li Ming's eyes flashed.
A hint of murderous intent.
Yan Mingli, Ye Xiaotian and others couldn't help but shudder. They felt a bone-chilling chill from Li Ming.
…
In the corridor.
Ma Xiaoyao took a few steps and caught up with Cheng Wenyong: "Secretary Cheng...today...how could Luo Mingzhang suddenly support us?"
Cheng Wenyong shook his head: "I'm also very puzzled. This Luo Mingzhang has always remained neutral and has never publicly supported anyone. Today he suddenly supports us... It's really strange."
"Secretary Cheng, why don't you ask Luo Mingzhang?" Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and said.
Cheng Wenyong nodded: "I want to go find Luo Mingzhang and ask him carefully. If he can be brought into our camp, it will be a great help to us. It will be much more difficult for Li Ming to fight with us in the future."
"Yes, we must find a way to bring Luo Mingzhang into our camp." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
The two said a few words and then separated. Cheng Wenyong went downstairs to talk to Luo Mingzhang, while Ma Xiaoyao returned directly to his office.
Ma Xiaoyao leaned back on the chair, lit a cigarette in his hand, and slowly smoked it. While smoking, he secretly thought about Luo Mingzhang. In Ma Xiaoyao's impression, Luo Mingzhang was an old-fashioned, very principled person with a very bad temper.
He is weird and not easy to get along with. It is very suitable for a principled person like Luo Mingzhang to be the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. As long as a cadre violates the rules and disciplines, Luo Mingzhang will deal with it in accordance with the law and will never show mercy.
It is not an exaggeration to use the word "selfless" to describe Luo Mingzhang.
In Dongcheng County, many cadres were afraid of Luo Mingzhang and secretly gave him many nicknames. I won't list these nicknames one by one. Anyway, they are not very nice.
"Luo Mingzhang..." Ma Xiaoyao muttered softly: "Why did Luo Mingzhang suddenly support me and Secretary Cheng today... What is the reason?" Ma Xiaoyao tapped his forehead lightly. He thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out.
Why did Luo Mingzhang suddenly support Cheng Wenyong...
"Jingle Bell……"
Just as Ma Xiaoyao was deep in thought, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
Ma Xiaoyao reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello?"
"Xiaoyao, I've asked clearly." Cheng Wenyong's voice came from the microphone: "Today in the conference room, Luo Mingzhang supported us because he admired Zhao Wenlong. So, Luo Mingzhang supported not us today, but Zhao Wenlong.
, In other words, if we did not propose Zhao Wenlong to be the director of the county party committee office, Luo Mingzhang would not express his support for us."
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment: "Luo Mingzhang admires Zhao Wenlong? What? Are Luo Mingzhang and Zhao Wenlong familiar with each other?"
"I just asked Zhao Wenlong, guess what? Zhao Wenlong's father and Luo Mingzhang are classmates. The relationship between the two families is very good. During the holidays, the two families often get together to eat together, so Luo Mingzhang knows Zhao Wenlong and admires Zhao Wenlong very much.
I almost recognized Zhao Wenlong as my godson." Cheng Wenyong explained.
"There is such a thing!" Ma Xiaoyao grinned.
"I really underestimated Zhao Wenlong before, but I didn't expect that he would have such a close relationship with Luo Mingzhang..." Cheng Wenyong sighed.
Ma Xiaoyao rolled his eyes: "Secretary Cheng, this is a good opportunity."
"What good opportunity?" Cheng Wenyong didn't understand.
"With Zhao Wenlong's relationship, we can try to win over Luo Mingzhang." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"You don't know Luo Mingzhang. He has a very weird temper. Even if Zhao Wenlong is in the middle, Luo Mingzhang probably won't join our camp." Cheng Wenyong said.
"Secretary Cheng, don't jump to conclusions so quickly." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "No matter if it works or not, you have to give it a try. What if it succeeds? Luo Mingzhang's status in Dongcheng County is very high. If he joins us
If we are in our camp, then our strength will soar. To put it in perspective, even if Luo Mingzhang does not join our camp in the end, with Zhao Wenlong's relationship, Luo Mingzhang will definitely have a good impression of us. What problems will we encounter in the future?
When the time comes, Luo Mingzhang is very likely to come forward to support us." Ma Xiaoyao's meaning is very simple, it is to play the emotional card.
"Well..." Cheng Wenyong pondered for a moment: "Okay, let's try it as you said and hope it will succeed." Cheng Wenyong also wanted to bring Luo Mingzhang into his camp.
The two chatted for a few more words and then ended the call.
Ma Xiaoyao put down the phone and touched his chin: "I really didn't expect that Luo Mingzhang was a classmate of Zhao Wenlong's father, and the relationship between the two families is very close... With Zhao Wenlong, it will be better to have a closer relationship with Luo Mingzhang in the future.
Easy."
In the next few days, Cheng Wenyong asked Zhao Wenlong to mediate and invited Luo Mingzhang to have two meals. After some contact, the relationship between Cheng Wenyong and Luo Mingzhang became slightly closer.
