Chapter 309 I'm sorry to have troubled you.
"Secretary Zhikai, are you getting used to this house?"
As soon as David came in, he looked around, felt the thickness of the mattress, and tidied up the documents on the desk.
Xiao Zhikai looked tired and loosened his sleeves as he sat in the study.
"Sit down, Dawei. Your sister-in-law will help me tidy up when she comes over."
"Hey." Dawei sat down on the sofa and started boiling water to make tea again: "Running between the city and the county, you must be exhausted."
The logistics staff are becoming increasingly careless in their work.
Look at this floor, it's obvious they didn't use warm soapy water, they can't even mop it properly.
Now, I need to talk about Old Liu from the logistics department.
If even the county party secretary's residence can't be properly arranged, what about the others?
Xiao Zhikai chuckled: "You should manage it, but not for my sake."
Otherwise, Lao Liu would think that I, the county party secretary, am difficult to get along with.
I don't really care about these little details in life.
Anyway, I usually live in the city, and my family needs my company.
There aren't many people living here, so it's good enough as it is.
David looked around the study again, frowned, and said, "I'll ask my mom to clean it up later; she's very good at it."
Dawei is adopting a humble stance, waiting for Xiao Zhikai's next words.
Xiao Zhikai's rise to power, including his decision to hold two positions at the provincial level, is shrouded in mystery.
"Don't you dare."
How could you ask your aunt to do something like this?
I know you meant well.
Outsiders would think I, Xiao Zhikai, am some kind of domineering person, hehehe…”
David deliberately feigned ignorance, awkwardly scratching his head and chuckling sheepishly: "I get confused when I'm in a hurry."
Still too hasty.
My dad pointed this out before.
Well, you've arrived.
With you overseeing things, I feel much more at ease.
I'm too young, and I'm afraid that I might make a mistake due to carelessness someday.
Xiao Zhikai looked at Dawei with amusement, raised his finger slightly and tapped Dawei, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "You...you..."
If you're impulsive, you won't find a stable person.
It's just the two of us in the house.
You can say anything, don't hold back.
Seeing Dawei nod repeatedly, Xiao Zhikai lowered his voice.
"However, you were only half right just now."
The real reason the higher-ups appointed me as the county party secretary is because of you.
But it's not to help you with the selection process.
It means putting a safety helmet on your head.
This is Xu Bu's intention.
He truly cares deeply for you.
In Xu Bu's words:
"No matter who's in charge, Dawei will have to readjust, and there's always the risk of being purged. There's also the possibility of friction between the county party committee and the county government. But with Zhikai as the county party secretary, none of these problems exist."
Xiao Zhikai told Dawei about the information he had gathered.
There are quite a few things involved here.
Xu Aiguo had previously communicated with Vice Governor Qin.
At that time, it was Vice Governor Qin who took the initiative to ask about the matter of Yuanshan County, because her good brother Wang Guozheng had inquired about it.
Logically speaking, Xu Aiguo's position should be higher than that of Vice Governor Qin.
He is the Minister of the Organization Department of the province and a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, belonging to the core members of the Provincial Party Committee leadership.
Although Vice Governor Qin Mengjuan is also at the vice-ministerial level in terms of administrative rank, she is a member of the government leadership team.
Xu Aiguo was ranked higher and held a more significant political position.
However, in private, when Xu Aiguo and Vice Governor Qin were together, Xu Aiguo always put himself in a humble position and always took the initiative to go to Vice Governor Qin's office to talk to her.
Moreover, Xu Aiguo showed exceptional respect.
This is because Qin Mengjuan has Wang Guozheng behind her.
Moreover, Qin Mengjuan is younger than him and will rise higher in the future. Xu Aiguo is also preparing for his retirement in the future, so as to have more friends in the officialdom.
There is also a hidden contract here, unknown to outsiders.
That is, Xu Aiguo also bears the responsibility of protecting Qin Mengjuan.
Therefore, in order to completely resolve the problems in Yuanshan County and give an explanation to his superiors, Xu Aiguo thought of appointing Xiao Zhikai, a key figure.
He hoped that Xiao Zhikai could, like him, secretly take on the responsibility of protecting another person.
We share both glory and shame.
Firewalls are not only set up at the front, and not only are subordinates responsible for them; they can also be managed by superiors.
But things didn't go so smoothly.
First, it was Vice Governor Zhou from the province who objected.
He felt that this arrangement was a bit excessive, and that the current situation in Yuanshan County did not warrant the appointment of a higher-ranking county party secretary.
Vice Governor Zhou listed several candidates, all of whom he believed were more suitable than Xiao Zhikai;
Secondly, there is a lack of consensus among the municipal party committees of Meihua City.
Some people feel that Xiao Zhikai has too much power and is already busy with his work, which may interfere with the work in Yuanshan County.
Chen Tiecai explicitly recommended someone else to serve as the secretary of the Yuanshan County Party Committee.
Several members of the municipal party committee standing committee unequivocally supported Chen Tiecai.
In the end, it was Ma Jinbu who made the final decision, supporting Qin Mengjuan and Xu Aiguo's proposal.
Xiao Zhikai was thus able to take up his post smoothly.
"But that doesn't mean we can live a peaceful life."
Vice Governor Zhou and Chen Tiecai see me as a thorn in their side.
I wasn't so prominent before, so the pressure was less.
The resistance is now clearly noticeable.
At the municipal party committee meeting, several people's attitudes toward me changed.
You probably don't know this yet.
The current executive vice governor of the province is about to retire.
Vice Governor Qin and Vice Governor Zhou are competing for this position.
Vice Governor Qin has always supported Yuanshan County and is backing you.
To some extent, the development of Yuanshan County also has an impact on Vice Governor Qin.
If we do something outstanding, it will be a bonus for Governor Qin.
She is a pragmatic female cadre.
The reason why people respect her and why so many people support her is precisely because Vice Governor Qin has accomplished a great deal and achieved results over the years.
After listening, David's expression turned grave.
I felt the power of my godfather once again.
Power is a truly magical thing.
At the same time, I felt a great responsibility. If I didn't make something of myself, I wouldn't have the face to face Minister Xu, Vice Governor Qin, and my godfather.
Even Xiao Zhikai couldn't get past him.
They've gone to such lengths to help; if I haven't managed to improve my political record, then it's simply unacceptable.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, brother."
Xiao Zhikai was taken aback, looked at Dawei for a few seconds, and then smiled with relief.
David knows about his efforts.
"It's not fair to say that."
I'm a little tired.
But from another perspective, your success also made me successful.
We complement each other.
Dawei reached out and squeezed Xiao Zhikai's hand tightly. The two looked at each other in silence, and finally smiled.
Xiao Zhikai remembered something and got up to get his briefcase.
"Oh, right."
When I met with Vice Governor Qin the day before yesterday, she gave me a proposal.
I think it's a good idea; it might help with agricultural development in our county. You should take a look...
