Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 1011 Major Personnel Changes at Hanjiang

The following day, the Hanjiang Provincial Committee.

Yu Huabei had arranged to meet with Pei Yihong well in advance.

"Old Yu, did you come to see me about the matter in Beishan City?" Pei Yihong handed Yu Huabei a cup of tea.

Yu Huabei laughed and said, "Ah, Lao Pei, if I hadn't told you you were the top leader of Hanjiang, you would have guessed it before I even opened my mouth."

Tell me, what could possibly be hidden from you about the Han River?

Pei Yihong smiled and offered his guess, "You rarely come to see me this early, so when you do, it must be something important."

There aren't many things on my mind about the Han River area lately, but the matter of Beishan is one of them.

Once you arrive, the answer becomes obvious.

Judging by the timeline, Tongwei has been back for quite some time now, and things should be coming to a conclusion by now.

Yu Huabei nodded. "That's right, we have the result. Comrade Anxia has decided to stay in Hanjiang."

Pei Yihong said, "That's good. That way, I can explain myself to Comrade Jiyun." He then asked, "Where did he choose? Pingzhou?"

"No, it's Heji City."

Pei Yihong was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Heji? Why did he choose Heji City?"

"Of course it's about investigating people, retaliating, and getting revenge," Yu Huabei thought to himself, but smiled and said, "Tongwei said he wants to start a business."

Young people are so passionate; they're determined to get back up wherever they fall.

"We can't just rush in without thinking."

"Old Pei, you're wrong about that. Comrade Anxia really did his homework."

A few years ago, Comrade Anxia served as the county party secretary in a major agricultural county in Handong, and he did a very good job.

It seems he's trying to copy this approach and replicate it on the Han River.

Pei Yihong said worriedly, "Is this appropriate? No matter what, the development potential of Heji City is always limited. If we let him waste a few more years there, how am I supposed to explain this to Comrade Jiyun?"

Agriculture is the foundation of a nation, the basis of people's livelihood, and the foundation of a country, the foundation of a tall building.

If basic industries encounter problems, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction and affect the overall situation.

Therefore, it must maintain a high degree of stability, which in itself limits its flexibility for change.

In the current wave of reforms, the restrictions on arable land mean that China is inherently at a disadvantage compared to other regions.

Yu Huabei said, "I think we can let him give it a try. You know the situation in Heji City; its economic growth is slow."

Although development is restricted by local conditions, we cannot turn a blind eye and fail to make changes.

If we can help him forge a new path, wouldn't that be a completely new form of reform?

Why not give him one or two years first? If he doesn't achieve anything, we can transfer him to the provincial level later.

Besides, he has relevant experience, and I believe he can somehow manage to produce something of value.

Pei Yihong sighed, "Now, this is all we can do."

Another question:

Have the people who submitted the whistleblower letters been found?

Yu Huabei nodded and then shook his head. "There are speculations, but no evidence."

"who is it?"

"Lin Gangjian, the chairman of the CPPCC in Beishan City, is a prime suspect in the case," Yu Huabei said, reiterating He Anxia's line of reasoning.

"The day before Mada received the whistleblower's letter, the other party was discussing work at the municipal party committee until very late."

He went to the restroom before leaving, and when he returned, the colleague who had discussed work with him said that he was covered in sweat.

In weather like ours, how could we sweat when we go to the toilet? So, based on various details, he is the most likely candidate.

However, since this is only one person's opinion and there's no substantial evidence, it's not appropriate for us to investigate.

“Since things have come to this, let’s leave it at that,” Pei Yihong said. “By the way, Lao Yu, I also have something to discuss with you.”

"You said."

Pei Yihong took a document out of the drawer and pushed it in front of Yu Huabei, saying, "Take a look."

"What is it?" Yu Huabei asked curiously, opening the document.

"Didn't I tell you a while ago that the province was going to make some personnel adjustments? This is the list of people to be adjusted."

Upon hearing that it was about personnel matters, Yu Huabei immediately became serious.

Where does the power of leading cadres come from? At its core, it comes from personnel and finance.

"Huh? Old Pei, I've never heard of these people before."

"You're right if you haven't heard of it. This was sent from above, from various ministries and commissions, as well as from other provinces and cities. They said they want to strengthen the reform efforts in our Hanjiang area."

"This...this is just nonsense. I have no problem with one or two, but a dozen or so? What are you trying to do? If we send them away, what will happen to our comrades?" Yu Huabei's tone was very unpleasant.

The list clearly shows a group of family members; once they come down, they're bound to create chaos in the Han River officialdom.

Yu Huabei wasn't questioning the abilities of this group of people; he was questioning the standards for hiring them.

If the appointment and promotion process is merely a formality, who will have the passion to do their job?

Everyone is queuing up properly, working diligently and conscientiously, but just because you have connections and status, you can cut in line, ignore the rules, and trample on fairness.

This is not only an injustice to those who work silently, but also a heavy blow to the entire Han River system.

Of course, this is also a deprivation of their rights.

If those above don't follow the rules and frequently extend their reach to the city and county levels, then what's the point of having a provincial party committee?

Pei Yihong said, "It's understandable that the higher-ups are dissatisfied because our northern industrial city has been half-dead for years."

Yu Huabei exclaimed, "Old Pei, you can't say that. The transition from a planned economy to a social economy is an inevitable growing pain."

Besides, haven't we been working hard? Building a new engine for the north is precisely to solve this problem.

They've already achieved some initial success. Now that they're back, what are they planning? Their intentions are as clear as day.

Pei Yihong interrupted, "Old Yu, watch your words."

The organization's decisions are based on overall considerations. As Party members, we must adhere to principles and bottom lines and refrain from making unwarranted comments.

What we need to do is to appease the people and maintain stability.

This is the question we should be considering.

He paused, then said meaningfully, "Old Yu, don't be angry. I didn't want this to happen either, but you should try to see things from my perspective, right?"

Yu Huabei was slightly taken aback, then looked up and gave Pei Yihong a deep look.

It seems that this secretary betrayed the interests of the Han River in exchange for his own promotion.

Yes, what a great opportunity for a benefit exchange.

Not only can it gain support from the major families above, but it can also inject new energy into the Han River.

With these people joining, a massive amount of political resources are being poured in, making it difficult for the Han River not to take off.

With these two steps, Pei Yihong will have a high chance of making further progress in a few years.

He's gone, who will take over? Does he intend to recommend himself?

Thinking of this, Yu Huabei fell silent.

In fact, isn't this a good thing for him?

The position of a high-ranking official in charge of a region is too tempting!
