Chapter 146: Speaking Without Choosing One's Words

  Li Zhexuan smiled deeply and shook his head, "Gaofeng, regarding this matter, there are some different opinions within the municipal party committee right now, and it's still under study." He paused for a moment, then suddenly turned to Liu Siyuan and asked, "Siyuan, actually you're more familiar with the team in Cheng'en County than I am. Why don't you tell me, who do you think is more suitable to take over as the county party secretary?"

  Liu Siyuan did not expect him to ask himself suddenly, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he said: "Secretary Li's question is really one that I cannot answer. Who would have thought that the selection of the county party secretary would be something for me to comment on? I'm just a rank-and-file member of the Standing Committee, my work focus is still in Beixi Town."

  Li Zhexuan saw that he was unwilling to express his opinion, but he didn't want to let him off easily. He continued to ask: "So, who do you think is more suitable for the position of Ren County Party Secretary, Jian Zhiquan or Zhao Yingfeng?"

  Liu Siyuan replied without hesitation: "I think they are all suitable."

  Hu Tian let out a loud laugh and patted Li Zhexuan on the shoulder, saying: "Zhexuan, don't make things difficult for Siyuan."

  Li Zhexuan gave up asking further questions with a somewhat reluctant tone, his eyes flickering as if thinking of something.

  Suddenly, Zheng Gaofeng interrupted again and said to Liu Siyuan: "Siyuan, have you heard that Old Zhao from our county personnel bureau has retired?"

  Liu Siyuan thought for half a day and honestly said: "Zheng Ge, I'm really sorry, I've been busy with the work in Beixi Town recently, and I'm not very clear about the county's affairs."

  Li Zhexuan suddenly interjected, smiling coldly: "Siyuan, I have to criticize you for this. Don't forget that you're not only the Party Secretary of Beixi Town, but also a Standing Committee member of the County Party Committee. You can't be too careless about big and small matters in the county, just focusing on your little plot of land in Beixi Town."

  Liu Siyuan could only force himself to say: "Secretary Li criticized me, and indeed I didn't pay enough attention to county affairs. I will definitely improve in the future." He paused for a moment and then asked Zheng Gaofeng: "Zheng Ge, why did you suddenly bring up the county personnel bureau?"

  Zheng Gaofeng burst out laughing, and with one arm around Wang Jiao's waist, his hand also took the liberty of groping her curvaceous body before saying: "Siyuan, take a look at our comrade Wang Jiao. In the county committee office, she is mainly in charge of personnel work, and her seniority is sufficient. What do you think? Is it suitable for her to replace Old Zhao as the deputy director of the Personnel Bureau?"

  Although Wang Jiao felt a bit embarrassed by his public display of affection, she was also looking at Liu Siyuan with anticipation as it involved her own important matters. Liu Siyuan's mind was racing quickly, and in fact, Zheng Gaofeng had a two-faced personality - he was not only flirtatious but also heartless and unscrupulous towards women. However, towards Liu Siyuan, he generally still had some sense of loyalty, unlike Li Zhexuan who was cold-blooded and emotionless. At work, he never bothered him either, so after thinking for a while, he decided to take a more cautious approach and said: "Brother Zheng, shouldn't we listen to the Organization Department's opinion first?"

  Zheng Gaofeng waved his hand and said, "I knew you'd say that. You little brat is now full of official language, speaking very smoothly. But I'm not buying it, brother. I've done my homework. There are three nominations within the Organization Department right now, one of which is Wang Jiao, and the other two are people from Jian Zhiqiu's faction and Liu Dayuan's faction in the Organization Department."

  Liu Siyuan deliberated for half a day, it seems that not making a statement is not feasible. Finally, he slowly said: "The head of the personnel bureau is also concurrently held by Zhu Deputy Minister of the county party committee's organization department, so the right to speak on behalf of the organization department will be slightly greater. Of course, I think Comrade Wang Jiao fully meets the requirements of this position, so if this matter is discussed at the Standing Committee meeting, I will support Comrade Wang Jiao."

  Zheng Gaofeng saw that he could talk to this point, and was somewhat satisfied. He smiled at Wang Jiao and said: "Don't you hurry up and pour Secretary Siyuan a cup?"

  Wang Jiao was also a versatile person, immediately refilling his wine glass. Then she picked up her own cup and said with a smile: "In the future, Secretary Liu should support my work more."

  Liu Siyuan hastily said politely: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Since you and Zheng Ge are friends, then that makes you my friend too."

  King Jiao patted her full chest, making it tremble slightly, and said: "Secretary Liu, rest assured, from today on, if there is any wind or grass movement in the county party committee, I will definitely report to you at the first time."

  Liu Siyuan smiled and said: "Comrade Wang Jiao, don't forget the well digger when drinking water. You must not forget Secretary Zheng."

  Zheng Gaofeng burst out laughing and said: "It's nothing, nowadays women all like Si Yuan this pretty boy face, hahaha..."

  Liu Siyuan was somewhat embarrassed by what he said, but fortunately, Li Zhexuan interrupted again and said: "Gaofeng, Siyuan, there is something that can be revealed to you. It is said that Fan Yugun proposed to Secretary Zhang that Comrade Zhong Hanyun, the director of your county party committee office, can be added as a member of the county party committee."

  Liu Siyuan thought for a moment and guessed that it was probably the condition for Old Hua's retirement, which is also a common practice in official circles. Generally, leaders will give priority to such requests, after all, they also have a day of retirement and need to arrange their future. Therefore, it seems that Zhong Hanyun's promotion has become a foregone conclusion.

  He thought to himself and understood why Li Zhexuan wanted to bring this up, he had this question which meant he was very dissatisfied with the appointment and wanted to hinder it.

  However, the current situation is pressing, and Li Secretary's power in the municipal party committee, especially in the standing committee, is still not enough. But he didn't give up in his heart, so he thought of using Liu Siyuan's energy, because he knew about the past conflicts between Liu Siyuan and Zhong Hanyun.

  Liu Siyuan was quite disdainful of Li Zhexuan in his heart, because some things, although not explicitly stated, were tacitly understood as unspoken rules. Arbitrarily breaking these unwritten rules would drive many neutral people to oppose him. Moreover, Li Zhexuan was still the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and he was so entangled in the appointment of a county party committee member who ranked last, which was somewhat petty.

  At this time, Zheng Gaofeng laughed loudly and said: "I'll tell you, Zhong Hanyun is really on the bed of Jian Zhiqiu's wife. If Old Jian can become the county party secretary, he will be the director of the county party committee office, whether he can be a standing member or not, it's already a crime."

  As soon as he said this, Liu Sanyuan was slightly surprised, because he felt that Zheng Gaofeng had gone too far. There were not only a few dead parties of Hu Tian, but also four women, especially Wang Jiao and Wu Yahui, whose background was not particularly clear. It was very inappropriate to talk about the leader's private affairs in front of them.

  As expected, the two women heard Zheng's boastful words and both showed surprised expressions, especially Wang Jiao, who was secretly excited to hear gossip news.

  At this time, Hu Tian also slightly furrowed his brow and happened to exchange a glance with Liu Siyuan. The two of them simultaneously shook their heads slightly. At this moment, Li Zhexuan said: "Gao Feng, this matter is groundless and has no basis, so it's better not to talk nonsense."

  Zheng Gaofeng saw that he was suspicious of his own news, and even more so, said: "I didn't talk nonsense, rely on it, Zhong Hanyun and Lao Jian's wife opened a room in Ziwei City, the hotel has video records, Lao Jian also knew about this early, I just wonder why he is willing to wear this green hat, until now he hasn't divorced."

  Li Zhexuan smiled and said: "Old Jian's refusal to divorce is understandable, at his age he can still continue to climb up, a stable family is very necessary."

  Zheng Gaofeng burst out laughing and said: "I don't think it's necessarily the case, maybe he originally liked watching his wife fool around with others. I'm telling you, there are actually quite a few people like that... haha."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Tianfang and Lu Xiaojun's faces changed slightly, and Liu Siyuan also felt that this fat man was indeed reckless in his speech, and if he continued like this, he would suffer a lot on his official career path.
