Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance Chapter 1393 - 1393

The Standing Committee etings, as everyone knows, are where major decisions are made. After all, this is an important eting, considered a grand event in Daxi City.

However, the major decisions made at the grand event were actually decided in smaller etings beforehand. Privately, the Party Secretary and Mayor had already communicated and exchanged opinions, with outcos that were more or less certain.

So, there's an unwritten rule in officialdom: real decisions are made in small etings, while grand events decide on minor issues.

For instance, upcoming adjustnts within Daxi City, which are significant matters, are all decided in small etings in advance. They just need to be ntioned and approved in the Standing Committee etings as a formality, which is also a kind of ceremonial practice.

Once personnel adjustnts are decided in advance, there are generally no changes, unless in the case of intense leadership rivalries, where the compromise reached beforehand becos renegotiated at the Standing Committee. Of course, such occurrences are relatively rare.

At today's Standing Committee eting in Daxi City, each mber gave a speech on the learning of docunts and spirit, which is also part of the ceremonial practice.

In fact, the main content of the docunts or the related spirit doesn't need to be researched or discussed—those who understand, understand.

Thus, what the committee mbers said in their speeches isn't important. What matters is that they must speak. Even if it's just reciting the content of docunts and spirit from printed materials, it counts.

Only after such ceremonial practices can the publicity office claim that the mbers enthusiastically discussed such and such docunts and spirit.

After the speeches, major matters like personnel appointnts were swiftly completed. Then, resolutions about holding Party congresses in the autumn were also quickly concluded.

Finally, as the entire eting was about to end, the Party Secretary still initiated a challenging task.

It wouldn't be called a challenging task, but calling it that wouldn't be unjustified.

Because the Party Secretary of Daxi City has quite good relationships, being only 38 years old, quite young. Without certain background and propulsion, it's impossible to beco the Party Secretary of an important county-level city at such an age and enter the Huayang Municipal Standing Committee, a high-level deputy departnt role.

This Party Secretary is nad Xiang Mingdong, and his family is quite influential in Huayang City, akin to the Zhang Family's influence in Yangzhou.

At the sa ti, Xiang Mingdong himself is also the secretary and son-in-law of the current permanent Deputy Province leader.

That's how officialdom is; to excel at a young age, you really need connections and background. Either you are born well, you marry well, or ultimately cling to the right powerful figure in officialdom.

Take Liu Zhizhong for example—purely grassroots, not born well, but married well enough, and ultimately, clung to the right powerful figure!

Xiang Mingdong directly addressed Liu Zhizhong: "Comrade Zhizhong, after the routine grassroots imrsion and inspection tours, as the city's executive vice mayor, do you have any summaries or prospects regarding our city's economic situation and its future?"

As soon as he said this, the sycophantic committee mbers chid in.

First was Mayor Guan Xun, who is a staunch lackey of Xiang Mingdong, having climbed up through flattery.

Guan Xun, at 40 years old, stayed back two grades during his studies and was a classmate of Xiang Mingdong from junior high to university.

All these years, he has been holding onto Xiang Mingdong as his patron and has done quite well!

Now, with Xiang Mingdong as the Party Secretary, he beca the Mayor, and then...
