Chapter 265: Former County Party Secretary Zhang Chunsheng
At noon, the sun was slightly hot.
A luxurious manor in Jiangchang County was bustling with activity. Most of the guests who came were prominent people in Jiangchang County, either rich or noble.
Nearly two hundred banquet tables stretched from the inner courtyard to the street, stretching endlessly.
All of them demonstrate the strong strength of the Jiangchang Huang family.
In the spacious banquet hall of the villa, three tables of people were drinking and talking excitedly. They were the leaders of the Jiangchang County Party Committee that Wen Dongsheng and Qi Tongwei had been looking for.
"County Magistrate Guo, wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to just leave the newly appointed secretary there? Besides, the leaders of the municipal party committee are here too." said Chen Daming, director of the Jiangchang County Public Security Bureau.
Before County Magistrate Guo Xiangli, seated in the main seat, could speak, Zhou Dongkai, the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, who was sitting below him, interrupted: "Isn't it okay for us to celebrate the birthday of an old comrade? This is in line with our Party's tradition. What's wrong with that?"
Guo Xiangli smiled. "Right, that's the logic. It's okay to postpone the welcome ceremony for a day, but we can't postpone Mr. Huang's birthday for a day, right?"
Then he said to Zhou Dongkai, "Old Zhou, don't get upset because you didn't get the position this time. There's still a long time to go. He's just a young man, can he handle the situation? He can't escape what's yours."
A trace of indignation flashed across Zhou Dongkai's face. "County Magistrate Guo, what do you think the higher-ups mean by sending this young man here? Do they mean they don't trust us?"
Due to the special nature of the autonomous county, the position of county magistrate must be held by a minority ethnic group, while the position of secretary must be held by the Han Chinese, which means that Guo Xiangli cannot take over the position of secretary.
However, in an autonomous county, the power of the county magistrate is no weaker than that of the secretary.
Guo Xiangli narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's hard to say. Logically, when Old Zhang retires, you should take over. Suddenly parachuting in is not a good sign.
I asked someone to inquire about this, and found out that the new county magistrate comes from a political and legal background. Comrade Daming, you must be careful and don't let anyone catch you in the act."
Chen Daming said disdainfully: "If he doesn't obey, we will teach him a lesson."
Guo Xiangli looked at Chen Daming like he was a fool. "Are you crazy? He's not just a deputy, he's a provincial official. If anything happens to him, we'll all be finished."
Being publicly scolded by Guo Xiangli, Chen Daming instantly withered. Then he thought of something, stood up with his drink in hand, and walked over to Guo Xiangli, flattering his face: "Leader, look at me, I've been in this position of Public Security Bureau Director for so long. We should adjust this soon. Can we..."
Guo Xiangli drooped his eyelids, a trace of disgust flashing across his face.
In his eyes, Chen Daming is no different from a waste. He has no ability at all, but he wants to get promoted. Until now, he still has not had complete control over the Public Security Bureau.
Now, when he heard that the new secretary might focus on politics and law, he immediately wanted to desert. He had no interest in such a person at all. If it were not for other reasons, he would have replaced him long ago.
Guo Xiangli took a sip from his wine glass and said perfunctorily, "There's no rush for this. Besides, even if there's a need for adjustments, would a sinecure at the deputy division level be as popular as being the Public Security Bureau Chief?"
Chen Daming smiled, then realized what was happening and quickly tried to make amends: "It would be even better if I could be the deputy county magistrate and director of the Public Security Bureau. I think the neighboring county is also like that."
Guo Xiangli was displeased when he heard this and slammed his wine glass down on the table. "What? Do I still have to listen to you?"
Seeing Guo Xiangli getting angry, Chen Daming's smile froze on his face.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Finally, a thin old man sitting next to Guo Xiangli stepped out to smooth things over. "County Magistrate Guo, please don't be angry. Daming is just anxious for promotion, so he's a little impatient."
He pointed at Chen Daming again and said, "Comrade Daming, quickly apologize to County Magistrate Guo."
Chen Daming had no choice but to continue to flatter and bring the wine glass closer, "Yes, yes, Mr. Huang.
Leader, I said something wrong, please bear with me."
As he said this, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Guo Xiangli waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, go back to your seat. I'll take care of the county's personnel arrangements. I won't treat you unfairly. Don't make irrelevant remarks regardless of the occasion."
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Daming smiled apologetically.
...
In the county party committee compound, Qi Tongwei was also busy. When he learned that the old county magistrate Zhang Chunsheng did not go to the Huang family mansion to celebrate his birthday, Qi Tongwei keenly realized that there was something to be done.
If we talk about the department with the most information, the security guards definitely occupy a seat.
Qi Tongwei returned to the communication room in the county party committee compound, found an old security guard who had been working for a few dozen years, and handed him a cigarette.
The old security guard had learned today that Qi Tongwei was the new secretary who was about to take office. He immediately took the cigarette with excitement and his favorable impression of Qi Tongwei doubled.
Naturally, Qi Tongwei signed in smoothly.
The old security guard happened to be surnamed Zhang, and was somewhat related to the former secretary Zhang Chunsheng.
He told everything he knew and revealed a lot of news about the compound.
It turned out that Zhang Chunsheng was from Xiushui County, Haizhou City. The Zhang family was considered a big family in the local area and was quite powerful in Haizhou.
No wonder they ignored Qi Tongwei and the Huang family.
After asking for the address, Qi Tongwei prepared the gifts and went to Zhang Chunsheng's home.
Zhang Chunsheng's residence is an ordinary small villa about ten minutes away from the county party committee compound.
When they arrived, Qi Tongwei saw that the door to the outer courtyard was not closed, so he walked in.
The small courtyard is quiet, and what catches the eye is a large grape rack. It is the peak season now, and the red and green grapes hanging on it are particularly pleasing to the eye.
Qi Tongwei was about to knock on the door and shout when a voice suddenly came, "Hey, hey, hey, young man, who are you looking for?"
Only then did Qi Tongwei notice that there was a large coffee table between the grape arbor, and behind the coffee table an old man poked his head out from a recliner.
Qi Tongwei stepped forward and stated his purpose, "Uncle, I'm here to see Secretary Zhang."
The old man looked Qi Tongwei up and down, "Who are you? What do you want to see Secretary Zhang for?"
"I'm a staff member of the county party committee, and I'm here to report to Secretary Zhang."
"From the county committee?" The old man's eyes were filled with vigilance. "I know everyone in the county committee, but I've never seen anyone like you before."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "I just came to report today. I heard that Secretary Zhang is about to retire, so I came to visit him specially."
"Visit?" The old man chuckled and pointed at the gift in Qi Tongwei's hand, "I think you want to come here to build connections.
I advise you not to waste your energy. Secretary Zhang is about to retire. How could he care less about your little thing?
Qi Tongwei stopped talking nonsense and directly used a skill.

[Blue] Zhang Chunsheng, Status: Opposition
Background: Zhang Xiangyang, former chairman of the Haizhou Municipal CPPCC.
It turned out that the old man in front of me was Zhang Chunsheng. He was in a conflicting situation and couldn't sign in. I don't know if it was because he didn't reveal his identity or for other reasons.
Since the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity, Qi Tongwei did not expose it, "Master, your words are too discouraging to a young man who admires you.
I heard that he has worked diligently for our county for so many years and is now about to retire. I wanted to come and see him and ask for his advice and pointers for our generation.
If you're talking about connections, look at your place, it's completely deserted, who would go to such great lengths to warm up a cold stove?"
Zhang Chunsheng was not convinced by Qi Tongwei's words. "So this is why you think you are smart. Others think that people are forgotten when they leave, but no matter how unimportant a county party secretary is, he still has a lot of power. At least it can make you far superior to ordinary people in this county."
