Chapter 58: Choice

Jiao Fengming is indeed in a contradictory state of mind.

Frankly speaking, the Secretary of the Luhua Municipal Party Committee is not a very attractive position for him. Although he is still the mayor now, and Zhong Yuejun seems unlikely to leave the position of Secretary of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee within a year or two, once Zhong Yuejun leaves, Jiao Fengming is confident that he will be the most powerful successor. He has been working hard in Ningling for so many years. It can be said that Ningling's growth has his marks. His deep feelings for Ningling make him unwilling to leave. However, today Zhao Guodong brought him and Zhong Yuejun to talk about this issue, so he could not seriously consider it.

If you change a place, such as Tangjiang or Lanshan, and let yourself serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Jiao Fengming may be interested. After all, the foundations of Tangjiang and Lanshan are much better than those of Luhua, and it is much easier to get started with work, but it is Luhua.

Everyone knows what Lu Hua is like. Neither team can make Lu Hua improve, and there is a situation where he is getting deeper and deeper.

With chemical industry, the construction machinery industry was once very popular. The old almanac of more than ten years ago. Now, the two pillar industries of Luhua Chemical and Construction Machinery have fallen. The chemical industry has been hit by the nearest Rongshan and is almost in a slump. The Luhua Group, which was originally the largest Luhua Group in the city, has become the biggest unstable factor in Luhua. In addition, the retired employees of nearly 6,000 people are like a huge rock that has made the municipal party committee and government breathless for two consecutive terms.

Luhua Construction Machinery Factory has officially entered bankruptcy procedures. The serious insolvency has caused the company to be pushed onto the road of mergers several times and kicked down again. The Lu Workers who were turbulent in the crowd have also become another major instability cause, and even the Anyuan Provincial High Court has a headache.

Luhua's problems are not just that. Luhua cadres have always been xenophobic, but their own development is in trouble, which has made the province disappointed with the performance of local cadres. Therefore, generally speaking, the main leaders use external transfer methods to enter, which also makes the contradiction between local cadres and foreign cadres quite prominent. In addition, the two Renpiaotian literature rated it as one of the top ten cities with the worst sense of security in the country, which shows how bad the situation in this place is.

It can be said that all kinds of problems gathered together, which caused Lu Hua to fall into a vicious circle. The economy could not develop, and the people were even more dissatisfied, causing more social conflicts, and also worsened the social security situation. Therefore, on the issue of the candidate for the municipal party committee secretary, Ling Zhengyue and Zhao Guodong also thought about it over and over again and could not make a decision.

"Governor, what do you think?" The room was silent for five minutes. Both Zhao Guodong, Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming were all in a long period of contemplation. In the end, Jiao Fengming broke the silence. After all, he was the protagonist in this matter.

"Ling Zhengyue and I have considered this candidate for a long time. Almost every candidate can find some inappropriate places. We hope that this candidate must be absolutely sure to succeed. The conditions are also a bit harsh, so it has not been decided, but this matter cannot be delayed, so I considered it and wanted to ask for your opinion." Zhao Guodong pondered his words, raised his eyes, and looked at Jiao Fengming, "From the heart, I don't really want you to go, but the province can't find a suitable candidate. I think this is also a challenge and a test. It's a bit harsh for Fengming, but I think you can withstand this challenge. Of course, what I mean is that if you are willing from the heart, if you have resistance, don't force yourself. It all depends on your inner wishes."

Zhao Guodong said it quite tactfully, but Jiao Fengming knew that Zhao Guodong himself wanted to shoulder this burden. This was not only trust in himself, but also a little bit of demonstrating and showing off to Ling Zhengyue. When no one could find a suitable candidate, it was the cadres from Ningling who dared to shoulder the burden. This was an honor worth showing off.

"Governor, if so, I want to try it." Jiao Fengming took a deep breath and nodded.

Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun were both stunned. Zhao Guodong considered Jiao Fengming's acceptance, but he did not expect Jiao Fengming to agree to be so cheerful and straightforward, and did not mention any other conditions, which surprised and relieved him.

"Feng Ming, how do you say it? I'm a little relieved, but also a little worried. Well, I'm worried that you are impulsive, or the mentality of sharing the worries of the provincial party committee. So I reminded you before that you must have enough mental preparation and tolerance. Luhua's situation may be very bad. It is not only an economic problem, but may also involve cadre issues, social security issues, and even a social environment problem. You should also know the special atmosphere in Luhua. To be precise, it's very bad." Zhao Guodong pondered for a while before saying.

"Governor, I know all these situations. Although Luhua is not adjacent to our Ningling, I also understand the situation there. A classmate of my Provincial Party School has always had a good relationship. He is now the executive vice minister of the Organization Department there. I have learned a lot about Luhua from him, but I never thought that I might go to Luhua to serve." Jiao Fengming smiled bitterly, and then he was excited, "But Governor, did you come to Ningling in the past? This is a challenge. I want to have your support, and I still have some confidence, but I want to know what the provincial party committee thinks about Luhua this time? Is it just a change to a municipal party secretary?"

"Of course it's not that simple. Lu Hua can't be a new person by changing the secretary of the municipal party committee. Superman is not good either. Many of them are deeply rooted structural problems. So Lao Ling and I have the same view that Lu Hua wants to undergo major surgery, and both the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor must be replaced. In addition, there may be considerable adjustments in the team configuration. However, first of all, the candidate for the secretary of the municipal party committee can be determined in order to discuss other aspects. The key to whether the team is strong or not lies in the leader." Zhao Guodong replied with certainty: "Fengming, if you really decide, you need to be mentally prepared."

"I decided, Governor, don't you often say how many times you can fight in life? I'm not young anymore and I don't have a chance to fight a few times. Let's fight this time." Jiao Fengming seemed to have thrown away some of the heavy weight that he had before, and his tone became refreshing.

"Okay, the provincial party committee will soon hold a standing committee meeting for this round of personnel adjustments, that is, once it is determined, then the personnel adjustments before the 10th National People's Congress must be in place." Zhao Guodong breathed out, "Yuejun, let you come here, that is, considering who will take over if Feng Ming leaves?"

From Jiao Fengming's words "I want to give it a try", Zhong Yuejun is already considering what Jiao Fengming will bring to the relatively stable Ningling team once he leaves. A stable team is the prerequisite for local economic development. Zhong Yuejun and Jiao Fengming cooperate very well, just like Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun's partner at the time. Now that Jiao Fengming leaves, who will take over the position of mayor is very important. This is also the reason why Zhao Guodong was hesitant at the beginning. He did not want Jiao Fengming's departure to affect the development of Ningling.

"Is there any suitable candidate in the province?" Zhong Yuejun asked after pondering for a while.

This is equivalent to a disguised veto of Ningling's current team. Ningling's current deputy secretary Hui Wanli was originally the most likely candidate to replace, but Hui Wanli did not seem to be very suitable for Ling Zhengyue's appetite. Zhao Guodong is not familiar with the role of serving as deputy secretary from the Provincial Party Committee Political and Legal Committee. It is estimated that it is unlikely that he will replace Jiao Fengming. Executive Vice Mayor Gu Yongbin is familiar with it, but Zhong Yuejun is not optimistic about the executive vice mayor. The executive vice mayor also has some work views and is not very consistent with Zhong Jiao. This is also the reason why Zhong Yuejun does not want this person to take over.

"I can't say this yet, because no one has considered Feng Ming's issue before. I think even Ling Zhengyue and Chen Yinglu have considered it, but Feng Ming has not been included as the candidate." Zhao Guodong shook his head, as if thinking about something, "Once Feng Ming is about to move, I'm afraid it will have to touch a lot. Alas, this is also a troublesome thing. My bottom line is that it cannot affect Ningling's established development plan."

Zhong Yuejun's heart moved slightly, "Then Governor, how about let Wenkui come back?"

"Wenkui?" Zhao Guodong also felt aroused in his heart. Although his previous consideration was to let Zhu Wenkui go to Andu City to serve as deputy mayor, it was just an option. If Zhu Wenkui goes to Ningling as mayor, although the span is a little larger, if he strongly recommends it, the possibility is still very high. Ling Zhengyue needs to consider his own feelings, which is not a shameful thing, just to ensure that Ningling's development strategy is not interrupted. However, if this is the case, then Gu Yongbin is afraid that he will not be suitable to stay in Ningling again.

"Yes, Governor, if Wenkui can come back, I think Ningling's impact can be minimized." Zhong Yuejun's tone was very serious, "Others not only need to be familiar with the adaptation process, but they may not be able to truly integrate into our Ningling development model."

Zhao Guodong frowned. He needed to evaluate the series of impacts brought by Zhu Wenkui's return to Ningling. However, as Zhong Yuejun said, for the development of Ningling, these efforts are worth it.
