In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

What is the wrath of thunder?

That's it.

Who is Zhao Mingyuan?

That's the Party Secretary of Linchuan County!

He served as both the county magistrate and the county party secretary in Linchuan County for eight years!

Over the past eight years, his authority in Linchuan County has reached its zenith.

Someone once said that a county party secretary is someone who, within their jurisdiction, can have a dream at night and have it come true the next day.

Is that an exaggeration?

For ordinary people, this might seem a bit exaggerated.

But what is the reality? The more you understand officialdom and the more you understand people within the system, the clearer you become about what a county party secretary really represents within the county!

That means they are omnipotent!

He represented that all public officials in the county, and even all ordinary people, and even every flower, blade of grass, and tree, could change the fate of everything if he wanted to.

He can quickly transform an ordinary employee into a powerful bureau chief, secretary, or even deputy division chief.

It can also marginalize a powerful section chief, making him feel invisible.

He can make an ordinary businessman quickly become rich and prominent in the county, or he can make a wealthy man suffer greatly.

If he wanted, he could point to any spot and say, "The scenery here is nice; we should build a park here." Then, before long, all the people in that place would move away, and a beautiful park would appear.

A county party secretary can do far too many things.

In this county, it's no exaggeration to say that the county party secretary is like a god.

At this very moment, the heavens of Linchuan County were enraged!

Liu Qingshi's face turned visibly pale, and his clothes were instantly soaked with sweat.

Everyone in the county committee office on the third floor, whether in the office or in the corridor, held their breath, afraid of upsetting Secretary Zhao.

It's not that they're afraid; anyone would be afraid in their place.

Zhao Mingyuan had lost his temper before, but he had never told a section-level bureau chief to get lost in front of everyone, let alone utter the word "useless".

Moreover, this bureau chief, who is at the level of a section chief, has already been selected by the Standing Committee as a candidate for deputy division chief.

However, at this moment, Secretary Zhao Mingyuan did not care about his image or what rumors would circulate about him. He unleashed his fury in a fit of rage.

The office door was slammed shut.

At this moment, Liu Qingshi's body was trembling violently.

He didn't understand what was going on.

Didn't they say that their appointment had been approved?

Just then, Deputy Secretary Wang Yanming sighed, gently patted Liu Qingshi's shoulder, and whispered, "Go back first, don't get yourself into trouble."

"You'll find out exactly what happened when you get back."

At this moment, Liu Qingshi swallowed hard, not daring to mention anything about trying to become the county bureau chief. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and fled from the third floor as if he were running away.

Wang Yanming glanced at Secretary Zhao's office, initially intending to knock and enter, but ultimately shook his head and returned to his own office.

After Wang Yanming returned to his office, Liu Xing, the deputy director of the county party committee office, came to Wang's office immediately. He was mainly responsible for serving Wang Yanming, so it was more normal for him to enter the office than for anyone else.

At this moment, Liu Xing was also completely bewildered, and at the same time, he was quite frightened by Secretary Zhao's appearance just now.

That's a bit scary.

Upon entering Wang Yanming's office, Liu Xing immediately whispered, "Secretary Wang, what happened?"

"Why is Secretary Zhao so angry?"

"Wasn't Liu Qingshi's appointment approved?"

After saying these words, Liu Xing noticed Wang Yanming standing by the window, his face equally ashen.

Wang Yanming said in a deep voice, "That's right, Liu Qingshi's appointment has been approved."

"But do you know what the voting results were at this Standing Committee meeting?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing, though unaware of the outcome, had already guessed that the fact that Secretary Zhao was so furious, and that Deputy Secretary Wang's face had turned ashen, meant that there was a problem with the vote count at the Standing Committee meeting.

Someone openly expressed their support for Li Feitu in front of Secretary Zhao!

Moreover, he must be a very important person; only someone like that could have made Secretary Zhao so angry.

"Secretary Wang, the Standing Committee has eleven votes. Li Feitu has one vote, and Li Guangming is the executive deputy county head. He had previously shown a tendency to align himself with Li Feitu, so he might also have one vote."

"Besides those two votes, did anyone else vote for Li Feitu?"

Liu Xing lowered his head and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure out who could be so willing to oppose Secretary Zhao and support Li Feitu, even when Li Feitu was in such a disadvantageous situation.

Deputy Secretary Wang didn't keep him in suspense; looking at Liu Xing, he said directly, "Li Shanshan!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing's expression changed instantly.

"Li Shanshan?"

"Disciplinary Inspection Commission Secretary Li Shanshan?"

Why did she do that?!

However, before Liu Xing could finish his questioning, Wang Yanming continued to utter names.

"Strong!"

At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on Liu Xing's forehead.

The addition of Li Shanshan, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was already shocking enough, but I never expected that Wu Qiang would also be involved!

"Four votes!"

"It's unbelievable that Li Feitu actually got four votes at this Standing Committee meeting."

"If Li Shanshan can understand, then why is Wu Qiang like this?"

"He's in the military, the political commissar of the armed forces department. He doesn't participate in local affairs at all. Secretary Zhao is the county party secretary, the top official of Linchuan County. What's he after?"

"At a time like this, he couldn't possibly be unaware that he was making an enemy of Secretary Zhao."

"Four votes? I never expected that Li Feitu would get four votes so quietly. No wonder Secretary Zhao is so angry."

Four votes?

Wang Yanming was somewhat dazed at this moment. Four votes were enough to shock everyone. Whether Li Feitu lost or Secretary Zhao won, it wasn't a complete loss. It was enough for Li Feitu to establish his authority and gain a foothold in Linchuan County.

The problem now is that Li Feitu didn't just get four votes, but five!

"Five votes!"

"And Wang Shanhai!"

At this moment, Liu Xing completely broke down, and sweat immediately streamed down his face. Five votes!

How could it be five votes? It should be five votes!

What do five votes represent? People who aren't politically sensitive might not realize how serious it is, but who is Liu Xing? Liu Xing is the deputy director of the county party committee office, someone who works directly with the county party committee leaders. How could he not be politically sensitive?

Not to mention him, all the party and government leaders in all units and townships of Linchuan County, including some perceptive people, would understand what this vote count means.

Five votes!

Li Feitu, representing the Party, is already capable of standing up to Secretary Zhao.

As a representative in Linchuan County, Li Feitu's words must be heeded by everyone!

He could be considered the deputy secretary of the county party committee, a subordinate of Secretary Zhao, but from now on, he is also the county magistrate! And the kind of county magistrate who is extremely powerful and can rival the county party secretary!

"My God, Linchuan County has changed completely!"

"Li Feitu, how did he do that?"

"He's only been here for a little over a month!"

"If we can understand the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Li Shanshan and the Armed Forces Department Political Commissar Wu Qiang, then why would Wang Shanhai also stand on Li Feitu's side?"

"He's a close confidant of Secretary Zhao, handpicked by him; he's a member of the county party committee standing committee and secretary of the political and legal affairs committee!"

"Why is he on Li Feitu's side?"

"A conspiracy, there's definitely a conspiracy."

Whether there was a conspiracy or not, we don't know, but the results of today's Standing Committee meeting will spread throughout the officialdom of Linchuan County at an extremely fast pace, and even to other counties and cities.

Everyone will understand one thing.

Linchuan County has undergone a dramatic transformation!
