Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Village Gossip

The meeting today ended quickly, and few departmental matters were discussed. Ji Yang secured the positions of Party Office Director, Convenience Service Center Director, and Finance and Taxation Office Director, all of which were clearly ceded by Xun Liqiang.

Everyone saw that Xun Liqiang didn’t mind, so naturally, there were no objections, and the other positions were divided among a few people.

Both Xun Liqiang and Le Jianjun were clearly distracted during the entire meeting, and it seemed no one cared what they did.

After the meeting, Zhan Yongtao immediately took action to draft the document and send it to Xun Liqiang for his signature and distribution.

The leaders all left, but Zhan Yongtao was busy, heading back to the office to start working.

Soon, everyone gathered around.

Old Zhou’s expression was complex as he asked, "Zhan, what was discussed in the meeting?"

Zhan Yongtao said, "We discussed some personnel appointments. Now, I am drafting the document."

Old Zhou’s face turned ugly. Previously, these tasks would have been his responsibility, but now, it had unexpectedly shifted to Zhan Yongtao.

"Zhan..." Someone was about to ask something when they saw Zhan Yongtao had already started typing on the computer, beginning with the decision on cadre appointments.

No one spoke. Then, they saw the first appointment content.

Zhan Yongtao was appointed as the Director of the Township Party and Government Office...

When everyone saw this first appointment, it was as if a bomb had been dropped in the Party and Government Office, stunning everyone.

It was well known that Zhan Yongtao hadn’t been involved in discussions behind closed doors, but now he was listed first.

Old Zhou’s face became even uglier. He was unwilling to believe this, knowing his actions were covert and his dealings with Guo Huaijie were secretive. He believed that Xun Liqiang wasn’t aware. Just earlier, he had confidently thought Xun Liqiang would definitely support him.

"It can’t be possible. There are still several team members in the township who didn’t attend the meeting. How could a decision have already been made?" Old Zhou spoke loudly.

Zhan Yongtao casually said, "During the meeting, we called to get the opinions of those people. They had no objections, and everything was recorded." After saying this, he continued typing.

At this point, everyone’s views on Zhan Yongtao had completely changed; the young man had suddenly become the director of the Party and Government Office.

After quickly drafting and then printing the document, Zhan Yongtao hurried to Xun Liqiang’s office.

Soon, Zhan Yongtao returned at a jog, this time to make modifications before printing again.

With a red heading attached, pages of the document were printed out. From now on, as soon as they were stamped, these appointments would become official.

People in the Party and Government Office were enthusiastic, each vying to help out, understanding that Zhan Yongtao’s position was now completely different. If they didn’t show their support, they would definitely face consequences. Of course, Old Zhou still hadn’t recovered from his dejection and sat there with a sullen expression.

Zhan Yongtao felt secretly thrilled. He knew too well the thoughts of people like Old Zhou. If someone else had been in charge, they might not have cooperated, making it impossible for him to proceed with his work. But Zhan Yongtao was different; he was too familiar with the office tasks. Even if no one cooperated, he could finish the work alone, so he wasn’t worried about their unwillingness to help.

People in the Party and Government Office also knew that much of the work was usually done by Zhan Yongtao, and these tasks were really not difficult for him.

Anyone who could make it to the Party and Government Office was cunning. After understanding this, even if they had reservations, they seriously attended to their tasks. After the documents were stamped, some people were already distributing them office by office.

The atmosphere became even more complex as those who received promotions were called in for discussions.

After Zhan Yongtao visited Ji Yang’s office, everyone knew that Zhan Yongtao had secured the promotion through his connection with Ji Yang.

Old Zhou snorted and said, "The adjustments have just begun. It’s really hard to say who can hold their position in the next step."

His words rendered everyone somewhat silent.

Indeed, as Old Zhou had said, adjustments were starting from the provincial level. After the county adjustments, the township was next, and adjustments there would definitely have a huge impact.

Based on what everyone knew, Ji Yang was also going to be adjusted. Whether he could maintain his position was really uncertain. Now that Zhan Yongtao had risen, he might be adjusted down soon.

At this time, people in various offices were quietly discussing this matter. Today, Ji Yang had indeed gained the upper hand, but what about next? Could those who had sided with Ji Yang now fall again? It was really hard to say.

Under this analysis, those who had thought about aligning with Ji Yang were now hesitating. They knew it wasn’t certain if Ji Yang could maintain his position. If they switched sides now and got taken down later, they would really have no chance to recover.
