Chapter 498 Promotion to County Party Secretary
Chapter 498 Promotion to County Party Secretary
Because Xichun County achieved excellent results last year, many people want to work in Xichun County.
The news that Xichun County aims to become a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan has already spread, and the province and city want to set a benchmark for it.
Otherwise, where would Xichun County get billions of yuan in investment?
Based on Xichun County's investment last year and the more than 3 billion yuan invested in January and February, Xichun County's GDP this year will definitely exceed 10 billion yuan.
After all, the billions of yuan invested in Xichun County last year will also play a significant role this year.
It is inevitable that Xichun County will become the first county in Jincheng and Southwest Province to reach 10 billion yuan in GDP.
As long as I can take up a post in Xichun County, I will have a share in the credit for building a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan.
With this achievement, his future career will be smoother.
As a result, many people began to take action, pulling strings and seeking positions in Xichun County.
Many members of the Xichun County Party and government leadership began to feel insecure, worried that they would be transferred and miss out on the credit for building a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan.
However, neither the province nor the city has any intention of adjusting Xichun County.
After all, for the province and city, the most important thing right now is not adjusting Xichun County, but dealing with how to handle the issue of Shancheng being transferred to a directly administered municipality.
The decision to transfer Chongqing to a directly administered municipality has been basically finalized.
This means that the administrative divisions will be adjusted, and another provincial-level unit will be added.
For provincial leaders, especially those at the vice-ministerial level, this is a good opportunity for advancement, and they will definitely try to seize it.
The leadership team in Xichun County is very capable, and there is no need for major reshuffling for the time being.
Zhong Xiaoai's side also began to take action, compiling evidence of embezzlement and corruption by Guo Hongguang, Song Changfa, and others and reporting it to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection took the matter very seriously and sent people to Xichun County to conduct a secret investigation, which confirmed the violations of discipline and law by Guo Hongguang, Song Changfa, and others.
Then, the municipal discipline inspection commission sent people to place Guo Hongguang and Song Changfa under investigation, which immediately caused a stir in Xichun County.
After all, these two people didn't take charge of any major projects other than overseeing the reform of township enterprises.
Not long after, Liao Changyong was also placed under investigation by the municipal discipline inspection commission. This once again sparked heated discussions throughout the county.
Liao Changyong had worked in Xichun County for many years and had always been very honest and upright, so how did he end up being placed under investigation?
Soon, the disciplinary violations and illegal activities of Guo Hongguang, Song Changfa, and Liao Changyong were exposed.
Guo Hongguang and Song Changfa accepted bribes on a large scale and sold off state-owned assets at low prices during the reform of township enterprises, causing serious losses to state-owned assets.
Liao Changyong supported them during the township enterprise reform and received a large amount of benefits in return.
Their family members bought some township enterprises at extremely low prices, acquiring shares in high-value companies at low cost.
The case implicated the township enterprise bureau leadership and many township leaders, as well as Yan Hongqiao of the Public Security Bureau, Lan Qianshan, director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, Zhai Chengfeng, director of the Industry Bureau, and others.
The county discipline inspection commission immediately detained all those involved in the case and placed them under investigation.
This immediately caused a stir throughout Xichun County.
Two years ago, due to the food factory incident, a large number of people, including Deputy Secretary Pu Songlin, Executive Deputy County Head Su Yunong, Propaganda Minister Ji Jinqiang, Political and Legal Affairs Secretary Niu Wenliang, and Deputy County Head Shen Guoliang, were investigated and punished.
More than a year later, due to the reform of township enterprises, a large number of people, including County Party Secretary Liao Changyong, County Party Committee Office Director Song Changfa, and Deputy County Head Guo Hongguang, were investigated and punished again.
It seems that the city and county governments take the issue of corruption very seriously. No matter who it is or how many people are involved, once the facts are verified, they will all be removed from their posts.
This made many officials realize that they could no longer have any crooked thoughts.
Otherwise, you'll be the next one investigated and dealt with.
Those who wanted to take up positions in Xichun County were overjoyed.
They originally thought there was no chance for the time being, but unexpectedly, problems arose in Xichun County itself.
This means the province and city will have to adjust Xichun County, and their opportunity has arrived.
The city government appointed Qi Tongwei to temporarily preside over the county party committee's work to stabilize the situation in Xichun County.
Qi Tongwei immediately convened a meeting to reassure the cadres and arranged for someone to take charge of the work of the Township Enterprise Bureau, the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, and the Industry Bureau.
They also went to the countryside to carry out reassurance work and arranged for people to take charge of the work in the relevant townships.
Soon, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection released its findings regarding Liao Changyong, Guo Hongguang, and Song Changfa: all three were expelled from the Party and dismissed from their posts, and their cases were transferred to judicial authorities for further processing.
The county discipline inspection commission also quickly came up with its own recommendations for handling the officials involved in the case.
After consulting with everyone, Qi Tongwei instructed Zhong Xiaoai to handle the matter according to regulations.
Then, the Organization Department should quickly study the candidates for the vacant positions and come up with a plan as soon as possible.
Soon, Tian Qibing summoned Qi Tongwei to the city.
"Comrade Qi Tongwei, what suggestions do you have for the construction of the new leadership team in Xichun County?"
Tian Qibing asked.
Xichun County cannot do without Qi Tongwei, and his opinion should be sought when building the new leadership team.
"Secretary Tian, I hope the city can give our county's cadres more opportunities... Of course, I will personally obey the organization's arrangements!"
Qi Tongwei shared his thoughts and introduced the current leadership team.
"The city will consider your opinion. First, stabilize the situation and ensure that the development of Xichun County is not affected!"
Tian Qibing said.
It's good that Qi Tongwei didn't make any unreasonable demands.
"Yes, Secretary Tian! I will definitely live up to your and the city's expectations!"
Qi Tongwei said.
After returning from the city, a long line formed outside Qi Tongwei's office as many officials came to report to him.
With so many positions suddenly available in the county, everyone wants to try their luck.
With Qi Tongwei's current influence, anyone who gains his approval can make progress.
Instead of listening to the reports from the cadres one by one, Qi Tongwei convened a meeting and demanded that the cadres of the county party committee and county government focus their main efforts on stabilizing the situation.
They also inspected various locations to ensure no problems arose.
Soon, the provincial and municipal governments made adjustments to Xichun County.
Luo Tiegen and Wang Jianhua were promoted to the rank of bureau chief and transferred to the city.
Qian Laiyang was promoted to the rank of full-fledged division chief and transferred to Sandu County as county head; Meng Zhiqiang was transferred to Qile County, a neighboring city, as deputy secretary.
Zheng Shanhai was transferred to Haiming County in the neighboring Yucheng City to serve as the executive deputy county head, and Dong Xiyan was transferred to Wang County to serve as the propaganda minister.
Qi Tongwei was appointed as the county party secretary, and Yao Zhiyuan, who came from the municipal party committee, and Zhou Benheng, who came from the municipal government, replaced Luo Tiegen and Wang Jianhua.
Xia Deqing was appointed as the county head, Zhong Xiaoai as the deputy secretary, and Ai Yuxuan as the executive deputy county head;
Yan Zili, who came from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, was appointed as the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection; Gu Yansong, who came from the Provincial Organization Department, was appointed as the Minister of Organization; and Yang Haidong, who came from the Municipal Party Committee, was appointed as the Minister of Publicity.
The newly arrived Gu Yunfeng was appointed as the head of the People's Armed Forces Department, and Chu Tianjin was appointed as the director of the County Party Committee Office.
Liu Weijie, who came down from the Provincial Party Committee, Feng Kang, who came down from the Provincial Government, and Yu Kuisheng and Si Yongnian, who came down from the Municipal Government, were appointed as deputy county heads.
Xichun County has undergone another major reshuffle.
However, most of the elderly people have gone out and made progress.
After that, even more cadres came to Qi Tongwei to report on their work.
After all, he is now the county party secretary, and has more power over personnel matters.
Then, Qi Tongwei convened a meeting of the Standing Committee, requiring the new comrades to familiarize themselves with the situation and get started as soon as possible after handing over their work.
A week later, the Standing Committee will convene to discuss the vacant positions in county-level departments and townships.
After all, those positions can't remain vacant forever; it would affect the work.
