Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

Chapter 70: The Tit-for-Tit Meeting at the Standing Committee

People have been paying attention to what has happened in Bohou Town recently, especially the solution to the aloe vera problem and the attraction of an investment of 10 million yuan.

These two incidents have drawn more attention to Bohou Town and Luo Zhiguo, and some people are even secretly plotting to reap the benefits.

Although many people have the desire to reap the rewards, they are still observing and waiting for the right opportunity.

So when Zhang Qiang suddenly praised the work in Bohou Town, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In particular, Cao Min, the full-time deputy secretary, has become a competitor with Zhang Qiang, as the position of county party secretary is now vacant.

So when Zhang Qiang suddenly praised Bo Houzhen's work, he frowned slightly, secretly wondering what Zhang Qiang wanted to do.

"However, although the work in Bohou Town has been good recently, there are still big problems. The villagers couldn't sell their aloe vera. It wasn't until Luo Zhiguo went down to take over as town mayor that the problem of selling aloe vera in each village was solved. This shows that the Party Secretary of Bohou Town was inactive and incompetent..."

Zhang Qiang was very satisfied with everyone's performance.

Just as Ma Teng, Chu Hao, and Cao Min had predicted, he then changed the subject.

The shift from praise to criticism surprised everyone, and Ma Teng, Cao Min, and Chu Hao all became serious.

Zhang Qiang paused, glanced around, and then continued, "Bohou Town has secured ten million in investment. This is a major event, and both Bohou Town and Shunping County must take it seriously. Therefore, an incompetent and inactive Party Secretary like Chen Hua is no longer suitable for the position. Today, let's discuss sending a capable person to take over, so that we can effectively manage that ten million in investment in Bohou Town..."

"County Head! I disagree with your proposal. As everyone knows, the aloe vera problem in the villages of Bohou Town was only resolved after Luo Zhiguo became the town head. Furthermore, he was the one who secured the ten million yuan investment, which proves that he has the ability to manage this investment effectively. If we were to remove the Party Secretary of Bohou Town now, there would be a need for the town head and the secretary to work together, which would likely be detrimental to the situation in Bohou Town..."

After understanding Zhang Qiang's intentions, Ma Teng was the first to stand up and object.

At the same time, a counterattack was launched against Zhang Qiang, shattering his constant praise of Bohou Town's work while refusing to mention Luo Zhiguo's schemes.

Zhang Qiang frowned slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he glanced at Xu Jing, the organization minister, and gestured for her to step forward and speak.

"County Chief Ma! I disagree with what you said. Although the aloe vera issue in Bohou Town was resolved after Luo Zhiguo became the town mayor, it cannot be attributed to him alone. Without the help of Deputy Secretary Fan Ming, Organization Committee Member Zhou Guan, and United Front Committee Member Li Xiumei, even if Luo Zhiguo is capable, he could not have solved such a difficult problem by himself..."

The Organization Minister's words were utterly absurd and completely contrary to the truth.

Ma Teng sneered and immediately mocked, "It seems Minister Xu doesn't understand the work in Bohou Town..."

"County Magistrate Ma! What do you mean by that?"

Xu Jing frowned slightly, staring sharply at Ma Teng, and asked in a deep voice.

Although Ma Teng was fighting alone, he was not to be outdone and looked around at everyone.

His expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "Everyone! It's no exaggeration to say that the aloe vera problem in Bohou Town was solved by Luo Zhiguo alone. The deputy secretary Fan Ming, the organization committee member Zhou Guan, and the united front committee member Li Xiumei, whom Minister Xu mentioned, not only didn't contribute anything to solving the aloe vera problem, but also created trouble at every turn. When Luo Zhiguo convened a meeting of village secretaries to discuss the allocation of aloe vera, he and Party Secretary Chen Hua led a group of committee members to question it..."

Upon hearing this, the people in the conference room began to whisper among themselves, and Xu Jing, the Minister of Organization, instantly turned very ugly.

She didn't really know much about aloe vera in Bohou Town, which is why she said those things just now.

But to her surprise, Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei didn't contribute anything to the aloe vera project, which caused her to miscalculate and get slapped hard by Ma Teng.

"I know a little about what County Chief Ma said. It's true that Mayor Luo solved the aloe vera problem in the villages under immense pressure..."

Cao Min's words were very clever, not only acknowledging Luo Zhiguo's contributions.

They also mocked Zhang Qiang for originally sending someone down to take the blame, but the other party turned the tables and even took the position of town mayor.

Zhang Qiang's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he ended up losing money, ultimately sending an adversary to the position of town mayor.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly returned to normal.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself, "Let you be arrogant for a few days now. Once I'm in the position of county party secretary, I'll see how I deal with you."

"Ahem!"

Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Meng Zhuzhuang, coughed twice, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Although Luo Zhiguo has solved the aloe vera problem in Bohou Town, he is still too young and lacks experience. Therefore, he needs an experienced person to help him grow, and Bohou Town can develop better and better..."

This statement clearly shows support for Zhang Qiang, given that everyone is discussing aloe vera.

He then directly raised the issue of Luo Zhiguo's age, helping Zhang Qiang's side get out of their current predicament.

"That's right! I also think Luo Zhiguo is too young and lacks work experience. We need someone with rich experience to take over so that the situation in Bohou Town will get better and better..."

Propaganda Minister Li Xinzhu also stood up to support Zhang Qiang.

"I also agree with County Head Zhang's suggestion. The current Party Secretary of Bohou Town is incompetent, and we must replace him with a more capable person..."

United Front Work Department Minister Wang Meng also voiced her support for Zhang Qiang. With this, four out of the ten Standing Committee members stood up to support him, demonstrating that Zhang Qiang's influence in Shunping County is truly formidable.

Upon seeing this, Cao Min's face turned extremely grim. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Luo Zhiguo is indeed a bit young, but the county actually appointed him as the mayor of Bohou Town to solve the aloe vera problem. That shows that our organization doesn't consider age or seniority when appointing people; whoever has the ability gets promoted. So, I agree with County Chief Ma that we don't agree to changing the Party Secretary at this time..."

"I also agree with County Chief Ma's suggestion. The priority for Bohou Town right now is stability, and there's no need to replace the Party Secretary at this time. It wouldn't do Bohou Town any good..."

At this moment, Chu Hao suddenly spoke up to support Ma Teng and oppose Zhang Qiang.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was taken aback and turned to look at him.

I don't know why he, who always followed County Magistrate Zhang Qiang, suddenly changed his attitude today and went to support Ma Teng and Cao Min.
