Ouyang Haitiang was quite surprised by Chu Haifeng's sudden call.
"What do you want to see for?"
"Let's talk in person; it's hard to explain clearly over the phone."
Actually, Ouyang Haitang didn't really want to et Chu Haifeng, but she was curious about what he wanted to say.
After so thought, she finally agreed.
After eting, the two went to a nearby upscale restaurant.
After ordering in the private room, Chu Haifeng spoke directly.
"Miss Ouyang, the reason I ca to see you this ti is that I have a big favor to ask."
Ouyang Haitang curiously asked, "What is it?"
"Lian Lushan from the united front departnt of the city committee has been transferred to the provincial level, and I want to take his position, so I would like to ask Miss Ouyang to put in a good word for with Secretary Chen."
Looking at Chu Haifeng's pleading eyes, Ouyang Haitang felt a bit helpless for a mont.
She herself hadn't even settled things with Chen Bin, and now soone was already asking her for favors.
Just as Ouyang Haitang was about to refuse, Chu Haifeng continued.
"Miss Ouyang, Secretary Chen's purpose in coming to Tianhe is to develop the economy. We have Lion King Mountain in ihe County which can be used as a tourist site. If you're willing to help, I can sell you good land in the county at a low price."
Hearing this, Ouyang Haitang's eyes lit up.
Since her mother's death, she had always been thinking about how to break away from Ouyang Tianxiong.
Now with a money-making opportunity right in front of her, she naturally didn't want to miss it.
"Selling land is a big deal, will it work?"
Chu Haifeng patted his chest and assured, "It will definitely work! Leave it to , and if anything goes wrong, it's on ."
After the al, thinking about buying land in ihe County, Ouyang Haitang was filled with excitent.
But she didn't know how to persuade Chen Bin.
After thinking it over, she decided to take the inheritance her mother left and head to ihe County the next day.
Whether or not things work out later, the land still needed to be bought.
Just when both Gan Qiuyu and Chu Haifeng were vying for Lian Lushan's vacancy, the provincial committee issued an appointnt letter.
They decided to appoint Gu Huifeng as a mber of the Tianhe City Committee, a standing committee mber, and minister of united front work.
The news shocked the entire Tianhe political scene once again.
The most disappointed person was naturally Chu Haifeng.
He never expected that even after asking Ouyang Haitang for help, he still couldn't secure that position.
However, he had already sold the land, and since Ouyang Haitang was the City Party Secretary's girlfriend, he didn't dare to get angry.
He could only swallow this bitter pill.
Gan Qiu at this mont also gradually realized that Gu Huifeng had already turned against him.
Lian Lushan's sudden departure was probably also secretly maneuvered by Chen Bin.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he beca, and he called Bao Kanglu directly.
"Secretary Bao, whose idea was it for the province to directly appoint Gu Huifeng?"
"Of course, it's Cheng Liusha's idea. Why? Could this Gu Huifeng be Chen Bin's man?"
"Yes, his entry into the standing committee is sowhat disadvantageous to ."
"What do you an by that? Can't you control the situation?"
"Not really, I just feel that with more help, Chen Bin's influence will grow. I hope in the future regarding the appointnt and removal of Tianhe's cadres, Secretary Bao can lend more assistance."
In Gan Qiu's view, initially, Chen Bin only had Shan Liqiang, but now there was also Gu Huifeng.
Although they couldn't stir up much trouble, more people were never a good thing.
Bao Kanglu at this point could basically determine that both Cheng Liusha and Liao Jiangming were supporters of Chen Bin.
He indeed didn't want to see this happening, but there's no denying that to manage both the province's top leaders simultaneously, Chen Bin indeed had so skills.
"With Cheng Liusha and Liao Jiangming backing Chen Bin, you must take the initiative if you want to replace him. Otherwise, he will gradually replace each of the committee mbers under your control, and by then, you'll just have to fend for yourself."
"Okay, I know what I should do."
Hanging up, Gan Qiu felt extrely worried.
With those two giants backing Chen Bin, could he really beat him?
In the evening after work, the private room in Tianhe Hotel was filled with delicious dishes on the table.
Gu Huifeng, extrely excited, said to Chen Bin, "Secretary Chen, thank you! Thank you for your support! From now on, whatever you ask of , I will do, and I will never go against your will."
When Lian Lushan was transferred, Gu Huifeng felt no emotion.
But he never expected the position of the united front minister would fall onto him.
He was both shocked and joyous, feeling extrely emotional.
Chen Bin smiled and asked, "How do you know I helped?"
"Because apart from Secretary Chen, no one else would be willing to help ."
Since falling out with Gan Qiu, Gu Huifeng's situation in Tianhe was very awkward.
Additionally, without connections at the provincial level, his career in the officialdom was practically over.
Now that Chen Bin and Gan Qiu were fiercely competing, being able to get promoted must have been Chen Bin's idea.
Even if Chen Bin had other motives for helping, Gu Huifeng was still filled with gratitude.
After all, there were so many officials in Tianhe, and the fact that he was chosen spoke volus.
Chen Bin smiled lightly, "I hope you don't disappoint my expectations."
Gu Huifeng nodded vigorously, his expression very resolute.
"Please rest assured, Secretary Chen, I will do my best!"
The next morning, just as Chen Bin arrived at the office, he received a call from Gan Qiu.
This was also the first ti Gan Qiu had actively called since he started working in Tianhe.
"Mayor Gan, what's so urgent that you had to call ?"
"When will those missing departnt officials get filled? It's already affecting normal operations."
Having had the position of united front minister snatched by Chen Bin, Gan Qiu felt extrely displeased.
To stabilize morale, he needed to have all those below him replaced with his own people.
Let everyone know that even if Chen Bin snagged one position, Tianhe still carries the Gan na!
Chen Bin answered, "I've completed the modification of the new cadre selection standards, do you want another office eting?"
"No need, let's go directly to a committee vote."
"Okay, then we'll have the committee eting this afternoon."
Hanging up, Gan Qiu contacted all the committee mbers except Chen Bin, Shan Liqiang, and Gu Huifeng.
He had them all unite to resist Chen Bin when the ti cos.
The weather in Tianhe recently has been very bad, giving off an ominous feeling.
Even for afternoon etings, lights had to be turned on.
Once all committee mbers were in place, Chen Bin instructed Bao Shanshan to print out the new staffing standards and distribute them to all committee mbers.
After seeing it, Gan Qiu noticed it was identical to the previous version, not even a punctuation mark changed.
Exchanging a glance with Ran Qizhi, his heart was full of disdain.
After dragging on for so long, it was still the sa outco, was this all Chen Bin had?
About five minutes later, seeing everyone put the papers down, Chen Bin spoke directly.
"Since everyone has read it, let's proceed with a show of hands for the vote…"
