The Pinnacle of Power: Rapid Promotions Starting from the Old Cadre Bureau

Chapter 34 Stability Overrides All

David quickly organized his thoughts; in this office, there was no such thing as "casual conversation."

The leader said that to appear approachable.

"My supervisor asked me to talk, so I'll talk about the facts."

Yuanshan County is now shrouded in a thick fog.

Both the political environment and the economic environment are terrible.

Politically, Yuanshan County has been plagued by a system of one-man rule for many years;

Economically, Yuanshan County's economic data has indeed improved in recent years, but the cost has been overlooked.

Now that we've discussed the problem, let's talk about the solution.

"County Chief Qiao's earlier proposal to boldly promote young cadres has refreshed the political ecology of Yuanshan County;"

We will vigorously promote investment attraction and improve the business environment to advance economic transformation and development.

We must grasp both politics and economics.

This is a very good solution in itself, and it is theoretically entirely feasible.

It's a pity... County Magistrate Qiao's grand plan was cut short before it could even be fully implemented.

When Qiao Yong was mentioned, Xu Aiguo from the Provincial Organization Department's expression turned serious. He held his cup, looked out the window, and slowly began to speak.

"I also bear responsibility for what happened to Qiao Yong."

At that time, I was the one who approved of him becoming the county magistrate of Yuanshan County.

Someone mentioned to me that Qiao Yong is somewhat idealistic, lacks experience in grassroots work, and is somewhat bookish.

That day, right here in this office.

He was sitting in the same spot as you, talking to me at length about his ideals and ambitions, as well as his insights on the governance of Yuanshan County.

But he underestimated the complexity of Yuanshan County.

Ultimately, he couldn't withstand the pressure.

Perhaps he would have done better in another position.

Such a talent would excel at theoretical research.

"Fighting is not acceptable."

Unexpectedly, Minister Xu would make such a comment about his former leader.

Dawei had always regarded Qiao Yong as his benefactor, and he felt a little awkward after hearing this.

"County Chief Qiao was framed."

"You were also taken away by Lin Wangyou. Why was it that you held on while he couldn't?"

"..." David was speechless when asked the question.

Xu Aiguo raised his hand and tapped it forcefully towards the floor, his voice rising considerably.

"Choosing to end one's life in this way is to bow down to evil forces."

He has given up his faith, why are you still speaking up for him?

How will the local people view our Party?

Aren't those who are oppressed even more desperate?

David lowered his head; he hadn't thought about it from that perspective.

The leader's perspective is indeed much higher.

However, he still couldn't accept it emotionally.

"Minister Xu, the situation in Yuanshan County is rather unique, those people..."

"I know what you're going to say." A hint of disdain flashed in Xu Aiguo's eyes: "It's just that his daughter was framed and harmed."

Wasn't your mother also injured and hospitalized?

How come you're still alive?

It was still a problem with his mental fortitude; at crucial moments, he didn't believe the organization would eventually give him justice.

You probably also want to say that those people are bad and ruthless, right?

That's what you saw.

Before you went to work in Yuanshan County, you didn't see it, so you wouldn't have thought this way.

I believe that before you took office, you were just as excited as Qiao Yong, right?

I imagine Yuanshan County to be incredibly wonderful, and I envision you achieving great things.

Let me put it this way for you.

You see, many places that are not very big have big problems, even bigger than those in Yuanshan County.

What should we do then?

Are they all going to jump into the river?

Xu Aiguo's words were already very harsh.

David's palms were sweating profusely when he heard this.

This is a criticism of Qiao Yong, and also a warning to him, Qiao Yong's former subordinate.

Xu Aiguo picked up his cup, took another sip of tea, and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Dawei."

The commander asked me to show you around.

Don't think I'm being long-winded, and don't blame me for being strict.

I'm saying these things to you because I consider you one of my own.

I don't want you to follow in Qiao Yong's footsteps, understand?

David nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your consideration, leader. I understand your good intentions."

"Politics, when you get down to it, is just a fancy robe, but it's full of lice inside."

Only by putting aside idealism and being down-to-earth can we connect with reality and take root.

I and some colleagues from the province have heard about the situation in Yuanshan County.

Could we carry out a large-scale cleanup?

of course can.

When thunder roars in fury, nothing can stop it.

But what should we do next?

If we arrest all the bad guys, leave no one alive, and replace them all with new people, will all the problems be solved?

That's not how you fight.

While ensuring their own survival, they must proceed gradually and maintain stability.

Stability is paramount.

Xu Aiguo's approach to struggle greatly inspired Chen Dawei.

Following Minister Xu's words, Dawei boldly asked a question.

"You mean I should carry out reforms step by step while ensuring stability, gradually resolving problems and smoothly achieving a transformation of the political environment and economic landscape?"

"That's right. Without stability, you'll become the target of everyone's attacks. Even if your opponents don't target you, your superiors will."

David's eyes shone brightly: "I understand, Minister Xu. Your perspective is indeed profound. I admire you. Before, my vision was too narrow. Hatred clouded my mind, and I lacked macro-level thinking."

Xu Aiguo did not give Dawei any specific instructions.

Speaking in roundabout ways is standard practice for people at their level.

Too many people are watching them from this position.

The character for "official" has two mouths.

They want to protect their own interests while also achieving their goals, so they always speak in roundabout ways.

It seems like she's deliberately making people guess, but she's actually protecting herself.

After he finished speaking, if his subordinates did a good job, it was his credit; if they messed it up, he would say that he hadn't said anything and that his subordinates had acted on their own.

Fortunately, David wasn't a greenhorn and was able to grasp the meaning behind his leader's words.

"Since he is someone your leader strongly recommends, then we are on the same side, so there's no need for flattery."

Comrade Dawei.

The organization is preparing to give you more responsibilities and wants to place you in the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee and county head of Yuanshan County.

So, are you confident?

coming.

Finally, she said it.

Skipping the deputy director level, he was directly promoted from section chief to director level.

A promotion that skips a level!

My godfather is powerful!

If these words came from other people, they wouldn't be considered anything special, and there's a possibility of misunderstanding.

When Xu Aiguo says it, it must be true.

David slowly stood up, his face solemn, his voice loud and clear.

"Replying to the Minister, I have full confidence that I will not fail in my mission. Please let the organization test me!"

Xu Aiguo smiled and gestured for Dawei to sit down.

Although he had high hopes for Dawei, the more he liked him, the more he needed to keep him in check, especially when Dawei was still developing.

He was once David's age too.

Young people are prone to impulsiveness, emotional outbursts, and being taken advantage of.

Xu Aiguo took on this task from his former leader, and he was to take good care of Chen Dawei.

Having confidence is a good thing.

However, we cannot be careless.

I ask you, do you have any friends in the leadership of Yuanshan County?
