In addition to Wu Qiangwei's appointnt, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Lv and Song Guanchao also have new appointnts.
However, they did not receive any news about these at all.
Normally, if there are personnel appointnts, it is customary to have a small eting before the Standing Committee eting.
The purpose of the small eting is to resolve any potential disagreents in advance.
Otherwise, during the Standing Committee, it would be easy for a group of committee mbers to argue endlessly about personnel appointnts, affecting the unity of the team.
But Qu Xiangru did not do this.
They felt vaguely uneasy.
After all, apart from being the City Secretary, Qu Xiangru also holds the position of Executive Deputy Governor.
Personnel appointnts in Lingjiang City can be discussed at the city level or directly decided at the provincial level.
Qu Xiangru's actions seed to send them a signal—that she could directly decide personnel appointnts in the city through the province.
This ans that if she wants to remove or promote soone, she doesn't need the cooperation of the city's standing committee mbers at all.
The most significant power of the standing committee is the power of personnel nomination.
Whoever can unite more standing committee mbers can control the power of a city.
Originally, Lu Zhizhong lacked this power; he wanted to nominate, but the other standing committee mbers wouldn't vote, so he couldn't arrange for his people to rise.
But now, Qu Xiangru doesn't need this power.
She directly bypassed the city level, holding the power of personnel appointnts in her hands at a higher level.
In other words, she controls all the personnel appointnt rights of Lingjiang City.
Holding this power ans that she does not need to cultivate relationships between each mber of the standing committee.
Conversely, each standing committee mber needs to actively align with her.
Everyone felt sowhat uncomfortable in their hearts.
Especially Jiang Yuan.
He realized that his foundation in Lingjiang was shaken with the arrival of Qu Xiangru.
"In the Yang Lang murder case, Song Guanchao made significant contributions, so the City Committee Office decided to exceptionally promote Secretary Song to the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the Lingjiang Municipal Committee."
"The administrative level is raised from Director to Deputy Director."
After saying this, Qu Xiangru glanced over the crowd and calmly asked, "Does anyone have any objections?"
She is the City Secretary, and Wu Qiangwei is the Deputy Secretary.
Besides the two of them, only Zheng Bihui also holds the title of Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee.
But his position as Deputy Secretary exists only in na, as he has no actual power.
Wu Qiangwei felt a bit surprised and shook her head, "No objections."
Minister Zhou also nodded, "This ti, Lingjiang indeed benefited greatly from Secretary Song."
What he ant by benefiting was not the murder case, but that several hundred companies that were being relocated were kept in Lingjiang.
This statent was also ant for everyone to hear.
To avoid anyone cluelessly standing out in opposition.
Mayor Jiang and others also nodded one after another.
They had no objections to promoting Song Guanchao.
Qu Xiangru continued, "Effective imdiately, Secretary Lv of the Political and Legal Committee will step down from his position and assu the role of Second-level Researcher."
While Song Guanchao's exceptional promotion was within their expectations.
The transfer of Secretary Lv's position gave them a faint sense of a looming crisis.
The position of Second-level Researcher is basically equivalent to forcibly retiring Secretary Lv early.
This ans that from today, Secretary Lv will no longer be in charge of specific affairs but will still enjoy corresponding benefits.
While a Second-level Researcher also holds the rank of Director, outsiders would still address him as "Director."
But the head of the Political and Legal Committee is a position with real power, whereas a Second-level Researcher, frankly speaking, is nothing.
Even if one steps down from the frontline, they are usually arranged to be in the People's Congress or the Political Consultative Conference, at least maintaining so semblance of dignity.
But Qu Xiangru didn't even assign him to the People's Congress or the Political Consultative Conference, directly bestowing the title of Second-level Researcher.
It can be imagined that once this personnel order is issued, Secretary Lv will be ignored.
Qu Xiangru didn't give them much ti to think and continued, "The position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee will be concurrently held by Secretary Wu Qiangwei."
Everyone was taken aback again, and suddenly felt a sense of awareness.
Originally, with Qu Xiangru not coming, Zheng Bihui should have beco the City Secretary, and Wu Qiangwei should have gone to the City Governnt as Mayor and Deputy Secretary.
But with Qu Xiangru here, Zheng Bihui and Wu Qiangwei remained unchanged.
But evidently, the province had great expectations for Qu Xiangru.
The position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee was clearly to add prestige to her.
"The second matter."
Qu Xiangru said, "Regarding this year's developnt of Lingjiang City, the province has issued significant instructions..."
She said a bunch of high-level official rhetoric.
After finishing, she asked, "Who is currently in charge of the Fengn Building project?"
Zheng Bihui said, "I am in charge."
"How is the progress?"
"Currently seeking investnt."
"Investnt?" Qu Xiangru raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the docunts in front of her, and asked, "Why are you still seeking investnt? Haven't the contracts already been signed?"
It wasn't just her; even Mayor Jiang found it strange.
The Fengn Building project, originally intended to establish a new governnt center, was later changed to comrcial land due to a lack of financial funds.
By the end of last year, all the land had already been auctioned and contracts signed.
Why are they still seeking investnt?
Since Secretary Sun was always in charge of this project, everyone hadn't paid much attention.
Zheng Bihui nonchalantly said, "The previous year's investnt process was non-compliant, and the signed contracts have been revoked. Investnt will be restarted recently."
Qu Xiangru didn't ask further questions and continued to discuss several upcoming developnt issues of Lingjiang before adjourning the eting.
Song Guanchao was already waiting outside the conference room. When the door opened, Qu Xiangru was the first to step out and exchanged a glance with Song Guanchao.
She rarely stopped and smiled, saying, "Secretary Song, congratulations."
This congratulations ca out of nowhere, leaving him at a loss, so he just smiled and stood aside.
After Wu Qiangwei ca out, he followed her upstairs.
"Secretary, you sit first, and I'll go get the als."
He brought back the food and sat opposite Wu Qiangwei, handing her chopsticks.
Wu Qiangwei said, "The province has given a new personnel appointnt. I will concurrently serve as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee."
Song Guanchao was a little surprised but also a bit puzzled, "Wasn't it ntioned beforehand?"
Wu Qiangwei shook her head, which was also sothing that puzzled her.
"How was Secretary Lv arranged?"
"Second-level Researcher."
"Ah?" Song Guanchao was taken aback.
Second-level Researcher... this is just short of an outright demotion.
"After lunch, go to the City Committee Office and find Director Xu to handle so formalities."
"? What formalities?"
"You'll know when you get there." Wu Qiangwei deliberately kept it vague and didn't provide detailed information.
Song Guanchao felt a bit anxious inside, wondering, could it be that I'm getting a promotion too?
After the al, Wu Qiangwei said, "The Fengn Building project has started a new round of bidding."
Song Guanchao chuckled softly; Zheng Bihui indeed had a keen sense and quickly detected the issue and made a response.
Wu Qiangwei said, "Try and see if you can secure this project."
Today's personnel appointnts showed that the province has high expectations of her.
She must not let the province down either.
Song Guanchao felt it would be challenging; Secretary Sun was easy to fool, but Zheng Bihui was not.
But as a secretary, it is his duty to solve problems and alleviate burdens for his leader.
No matter whether it's possible or not, he has to give it a try.
He was about to go find Xu Xin when Xu Xin already appeared.
"Secretary Song, is Secretary Wu busy now?"
"What's the matter?"
"Yes."
"Please wait a mont."
Song Guanchao put down his lunchbox and turned back into the office, "Secretary, Director Xu is looking for you."
Xu Xin ca in, and Song Guanchao poured her a cup of tea. As he was about to leave, he heard Xu Xin's voice inside.
"Secretary Wu, Secretary Gao and Governor Hou will visit Lingjiang for inspection tomorrow."
Song Guanchao was surprised; the province was coming down for an inspection!
