Ordinary World: Starting with a divorce from Tian Runye

Miao Kai's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

He turned to Gao Fengge on his left.

"Comrade Gao Fengge, why don't you also share your thoughts?"

Gao Fengge stopped laughing and adopted a serious demeanor.

"Comrade Dengyun is indeed a suitable candidate in terms of qualifications and experience. However..."

He paused.

I looked around the conference table.

"I've been focusing on cultural promotion in the Huangyuan area. Recently, there have been some rumors that are very unfavorable to Comrade Dengyun."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhengwen's expression instantly froze.

Has anything changed?

Before this meeting, everyone already knew that the first priority was to promote Feng Shikuan, and the second was the handling of Tian Fujun. Although Hu Zhengwen mentioned that Tian Fujun should be appointed as the director of the county revolutionary committee, he only mentioned it briefly and did not expect Miao Kai to allow it.

Miao Kai's suggestion to transfer Tian Fujun to the epidemic prevention station was indeed a bit excessive.

Logically, Li Dengyun should be the first choice next. If Miao Kai pushes Li Dengyun forward, he can't say anything and can only cooperate. But judging from Gao Fengge's reaction, something unexpected has clearly happened.

In this game, many things unfold according to a predictable path. Any unexpected variable presents either an opportunity or a risk.

Hu Zhengwen sat up straight again. He wanted to know as much information as possible. He didn't rush to speak.

Miao Kai nodded slightly, then adopted a questioning posture.

"Comrade Fengge, please elaborate."

Hu Zhengwen glanced at Miao Kai.

Before asking a question, Miao Kai nodded slightly, not out of surprise or doubt.

Hu Zhengwen can at least be certain of one thing: Miao Kai and Gao Fengge must have discussed Li Dengyun's matter before the meeting.

Did Li Dengyun offend Miao Kai? Or has he already been kicked out of Miao Kai's circle?

This is an important signal.

Gao Fengge spoke.

"Well, it's really not a big deal."

He shrugged.

"Li Dengyun's son used to be a truck driver for the Ministry of Transport. Some time ago, Li Dengyun transferred his son to the county cultural center."

Gao Fengge sighed, looking helpless.

"Somehow this matter was brought up and even published in Huangyuan Literature and Art. Cultural people, you know, have many thoughts and strong emotions. The matter itself isn't big, but its impact is significant."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhengwen frowned and pondered.

He certainly didn't believe Gao Fengge's high-sounding words.

How could Huangyuan Literature and Art Journal dare to publish such an article without the approval of the prefectural committee? This is clearly an organized attack.

It seems that Miao Kai harbors even greater resentment towards Li Dengyun than towards Tian Fujun.

Hu Zhengwen has now basically grasped the information.

How can we utilize this information?

He glanced at Miao Kai.

Miao Kai spoke up, somewhat annoyed.

"The director of the county revolutionary committee is an important position. Who doesn't have children? If everyone were like Li Dengyun, putting their own children into whichever position they wanted, wouldn't everything be in chaos? Where would organizational discipline be?"

Miao Kai's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a lot of weight.

"Although the matter is small, its impact is egregious. This incident also serves as a wake-up call for our Huangyuan Prefectural Committee. Power is meant to advance our work, not to seek personal gain."

"Promoting Li Dengyun to the position of director of the county revolutionary committee at this time is undoubtedly expanding its influence and smearing the Huangyuan Prefectural Committee. This is irresponsible towards the work of the comrades of the Huangyuan Prefectural Committee."

Miao Kai's words were very serious.

This basically set the tone for Li Dengyun's case.

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone stopped what they were doing. Some put down their teacups, others stubbed out their cigarettes.

Bai Yuan, sitting in the back row, had his head down, his pen scratching across his small notebook.

a long time.

Hu Zhengwen took the cigarette butt out of his mouth and stubbed it out in the ashtray on the table.

"The position of Director of the Revolutionary Committee of Yuanxi County is an important one. It requires coordinating the work of the entire Yuanxi County. Before Comrade Shikuan is transferred, the candidate must be determined."

Hu Zhengwen seemed to have uttered a correct but meaningless statement.

In reality, it was a probe to gauge Miao Kai's intentions.

Miao Kai didn't wait. He quickly took over the conversation.

"Yuanxi County's achievements in recent years are obvious to all. Does it mean that we can't carry out our work without Comrade Shikuan? Yuanxi County still has good comrades."

He spoke faster.

"Comrade Ma Guoxiong is quite good. He was fully in charge of receiving Elder Gao last time, and the overall work was quite effective. Elder Gao was very satisfied."

Miao Kai looked around the conference table.

"My opinion is to promote Comrade Ma Guoxiong."

Gao Fengge, who was standing to the side, immediately chimed in, nodding and smiling.

"Secretary Miao is right. Comrade Ma Guoxiong has always been in charge of cultural propaganda in Yuanxi. Haha, he's actually a bit like me."

He laughed again.

"Cultural publicity work is not easy, I know that all too well. The achievements of cultural publicity work in Huangyuan area in recent years are inseparable from the comrades in the counties below. Promoting Comrade Ma Guoxiong can also reflect the organization's emphasis on cultural publicity work."

Hu Zhengwen did not immediately express his opinion.

He took out another cigarette and lit it.

This is his habit.

The current situation was clearly unexpected. He needed to use the time while smoking to sort out his thoughts.

Miao Kai's actions, while compliant with regulations in terms of personnel arrangements, were unreasonable.

What exactly did Li Dengyun do to anger Miao Kai so much? To make Miao Kai risk losing control of the prefectural committee's personnel arrangements by promoting Ma Guoxiong?

Hu Zhengwen astutely seized upon the loopholes in Miao Kai's personnel arrangements.

He must firmly oppose this proposal.

"This is unreasonable."

Hu Zhengwen's tone was serious.

He first stated his position.

"Comrade Ma Guoxiong, if I remember correctly, you were only promoted to deputy director at the beginning of last year, right? You clearly lack experience."

Hu Zhengwen looked around and continued speaking.

"Furthermore, Comrade Ma Guoxiong is mainly responsible for cultural propaganda work. Cultural propaganda work is very important, but at the county level, cultural propaganda work is basically concentrated in the county seat and rarely overlaps with the work of the communes below. The director of the county revolutionary committee is responsible for coordinating and leading all aspects of work in the county, especially leading the commune production teams to complete revolutionary production tasks."

Hu Zhengwen stared directly at Miao Kai.

"I don't think Comrade Ma Guoxiong is competent to serve as the director of the county revolutionary committee."

The tone was firm and the attitude was clear.

Miao Kai had anticipated Hu Zhengwen's opposition, but he hadn't expected Hu Zhengwen's attitude to be so resolute.

He was somewhat displeased, but he tried to suppress it and didn't show it on his face.
