The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Li Hong privately communicated with the Party Secretary beforehand and recommended Chen Jianhua to serve as the acting Party Secretary of Qinghe Village. The Party Secretary readily agreed, but he didn't care about the position of acting Party Secretary at all; it didn't matter who was acting as the Party Secretary.

We should give face to the person recommended by Li Hong.

At the Party Committee meeting, Li Hong recommended Chen Jianhua to serve as the acting Party Secretary of Qinghe Village, which was unanimously approved.

Out of respect for Chen Shi, Li Hong personally went to Qinghe Village to announce the appointments of the Party Committee.

The meeting was held at four o'clock in the afternoon. Tian Guangming was full of pride and felt that he was the only one who could be the acting village party secretary.

Li Hong asked him to notify Chen Jianhua to come to the meeting. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling, but he also felt it was impossible. Chen Jianhua was an idiot, and Chen Shi would never push him to the top.

When Chen Jianhua received the meeting notice, his heart pounded wildly. Could it be that the appointment of the acting village party secretary had been made?

He hurried to the village committee to wait for the meeting to begin.

The town government's car pulled up and stopped at the village committee. Tian Guangming jogged over and opened the car door.

With a broad smile: "Li Zhen"

Li Hong got out of the car: "Director Tian, ​​have the meeting attendees arrived?"

"Everything has arrived."

"Meeting begins"

Sitting on the platform, Li Hong first affirmed the work of Qinghe Village, then praised the leadership team, and finally addressed the appointment of the acting village party secretary, a matter of great concern to everyone.

Tian Guangming sat up straight, thinking he had been overthinking things. He was the only one qualified to be the acting village party secretary.

Li Honglang said loudly, "The last item on the agenda is to announce the Party Committee's appointment of the acting village Party secretary."

Based on careful consideration and decision by the Party Committee, Comrade Chen Jianhua has been appointed as the acting Party Secretary of Qinghe Village.

Everyone was surprised and looked at Chen Jianhua.

Chen Jianhua was very excited. His long-held dream had come true. He had become the village party secretary and the top leader of Qinghe Village.

Everyone had the same question: How could it be him?

Tian Guangming's face turned ashen. Chen Shi had actually pushed this fool forward, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

This is outrageous! I finally outlasted the old Party Secretary, and then this guy suddenly appeared and snatched the job away.

The Tian family is a prominent clan in Qinghe Village, so why can't they produce a leader?

It's true what they say, having connections in high places makes it easier to get ahead. I've been to the town government so many times, but in the end, they still gave the position of acting village party secretary to that idiot Chen Jianhua.

Fine, fine, Chen Shi, you just wait. If this idiot manages to hold onto his position as village party secretary, I'll change my surname to Chen and take yours.

Everyone was stunned. It was too unexpected. How could Chen Jianhua be allowed to take over as acting village party secretary? He had no prestige whatsoever.

So much so that they forgot to applaud and congratulate.

Li Hong led the applause, and only then did everyone realize what was happening and quickly joined in.

Even if we were a thousand times unwilling, it was a decision made by the town's Party committee, and no one dared to oppose it.

Li Hong stood up and walked towards Chen Jianhua.

Chen Jianhua quickly stood up, took two steps forward, and grasped Li Hong's outstretched hand.

"Congratulations, Comrade Chen Jianhua! We hope you will lead the leadership team of Qinghe Village to serve the villagers well."

Chen Jianhua said excitedly, "Thank you, Mayor Li, and thank you to the town party committee for your trust in me. I will definitely work hard to repay you."

"You should repay not us, but the villagers of Qinghe Village. Serving the villagers well is more important than anything else."

"Yes"

Tian Guangming looked at Chen Jianhua with a gloomy face, then his expression turned affectionate as he revealed a bright smile, as if nothing had happened before.

Li Hong turned around and shook hands with Tian Guangming: "Comrade Guangming, you must assist Comrade Chen Jianhua well and get the work in Qinghe Village under control."

This is a reminder to him that if you have grievances, keep them to yourself and don't show them at work. If you don't do your job well, you will also bear responsibility.

Tian Guangming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Li Zhen, I will cooperate well with Comrade Chen Jianhua and do the job well."

Li Hong nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, I have something to do and need to go back to town. You guys have a meeting to discuss the specific work."

Everyone followed him out and saw Li Hong off.

Tian Guangming felt terrible that his prize had slipped through his fingers. He thought to himself, "Dream on, I'll cooperate with Chen Jianhua!"

Chen Shi, you've got guts. Holding onto the village party secretary position isn't something the town party committee can just appoint you to.

Seeing Li Hong leave, Chen Jianhua shouted, "Start a meeting!"

He swaggered to the center of the stage and sat down, feeling like he was ascending to the throne for the first time, finally having waited for this day.

The group looked at each other and expressed their dissatisfaction that such a person should be the village party secretary.

Tian Guangming gave the group a look, implying that they had no choice but to submit, given the powerful connections the other party had.

A wise person knows when to yield; when it's time to lie low, lie low and wait for the right opportunity to strike decisively.

To deal with that idiot Chen Jianhua, I can easily flatter him and make him think he's invincible. He'll become arrogant and soon hand over his weaknesses to me.

The people below were whispering among themselves when Chen Jianhua shouted, "Didn't you hear me? I said it's a meeting. Anyone talking, get out!"

Tian Guangming sneered inwardly. With this level of competence, he still wanted to be the top leader. He coughed lightly, and the conference room fell silent.

Chen Jianhua shouted, "From now on, all village work must be done after I give the order. No one is allowed to do anything without my instructions."

Tian Guangming remained expressionless. "You're trying to sideline me as soon as you take office. You need to give me all the orders. What's the point of having me as the village chief?"

Chen Jianhua looked at Tian Guangming beside him and said arrogantly, "Director Tian, ​​give me the village party secretary's seal, and also hand over the work you were in charge of a while ago to me after the meeting."

Tian Guangming said with a forced smile, "Okay, Secretary Chen, I'll get it for you in a bit."

Chen Jianhua was delighted that Tian Guangming was so cooperative. He thought to himself, "The top leader is different; everyone has to give him face."

Next, Chen Jianhua assigned tasks to each member of the village committee, emphasizing that they should strictly follow his instructions, complete the assigned tasks, and serve the villagers well.

He talked until his throat was dry, but none of the people below listened attentively; they just went through the motions.

Meeting adjourned.

Tian Guangming stood up, went to the office, and handed the village party secretary's seal to Chen Jianhua.

Chen Jianhua took the seal and carefully checked it to see if it had been touched.

"Director Tian, ​​search the old Party Secretary's office. I need to start working."

"The old Party Secretary's belongings are still here. His family is busy and hasn't had time to take them yet. We'll have to wait."

Chen Jianhua waved his hand: "Wait until when? What are you waiting for? The village committee has so much work to do. Where am I supposed to work?"

They moved all his belongings to the doorway and called his family to come and collect them. They said if they didn't come today, they'd throw them all away tomorrow. It's been so long, and they still haven't taken them.

Tian Guangming sneered inwardly. What a big official's arrogance! The old Party Secretary was highly respected and served as Party Secretary for twenty years. If you're so capable, then throw away all his belongings.

"I have some things to take care of at home, I need to go back and check on things." He took out the key to the village secretary's office and handed it to Chen Jianhua: "Here's the key."

Chen Jianhua certainly didn't dare to directly order Tian Guangming around. After taking the keys, Tian Guangming turned and left.

The village committee doesn't have the money to hire cleaners, so they have to clean their own offices. Only the village head's office has someone else to help clean it.

As the top leader, Chen Jianhua has no one to help him clean up; he has to do it himself.

He opened the village party secretary's office and saw the old party secretary's belongings. Feeling it was bad luck, he moved them all to the door and told the old party secretary's family to come and collect them. He spoke in a harsh tone, saying that if they didn't come, he would throw them all away the next day. In doing so, he offended the old party secretary's family.
