Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Ji Yang Decides on the Candidate

Wen Chengming smiled at Ji Yang’s expression and said, "You’re familiar with the situation in Qingyuan Village, and we all know that you did very well when you were there. You definitely have your own ideas about the development of the village. So, since no one else is familiar with it, why don’t you just decide on the candidates?"

Ji Yang hesitated for a moment before replying earnestly, "Then I’ll share my thoughts."

"Good."

Ji Yang thought for a moment and said, "The current situation in Qingyuan Village is that stability is required. We can’t afford to stir up trouble anymore. The best scenario is to avoid any more chaos, and that requires not making any rash decisions."

A smile spread across Wen Chengming’s face. This was precisely the course of action they wanted. They were not seeking outstanding achievements at the moment, as long as the affairs could be managed properly.

"When I was in Qingyuan Village, I had some people on my team. First of all, there’s Huang Yu. Even though she’s a woman, when she was the deputy secretary, the tourist attraction Peach Blossom Source was developed after she arrived in the village. She’s a comrade who gets real work done. Later, she was transferred to the organization department as a division chief, and then, because she didn’t go along with certain people, she ended up idling away at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. I think her abilities are quite good in all aspects."

Wen Chengming nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, she’s a good comrade, capable of staying true to her principles in that environment. Not bad. Old Gao, what do you think?"

Gao Dazhong also nodded slightly and said, "She has enough experience. Let her take the position of village chief. What do you all think?"

Ning Wuyu said, "We have also inspected some cadres, and this female cadre is quite good. I agree."

Wen Chengming smiled and said, "Ji is serious in recommending talent. Please continue."

"Comrade Gu Xiaogui is the director of the finance office and is also very capable. Later, like others, he was relegated to being an ordinary cadre in the county. I think since economic development is the goal, we need to find comrades who understand economics. He’s fully capable of serving as the executive deputy village chief."

Gao Dazhong nodded.

Ji Yang then said, "Comrade Zhang Feng from the police station is also competent. He can be in charge of the discipline inspection work. For the propaganda work, I suggest that Comrade Qian Huixian from the county Youth League Committee be responsible. The position of organization committee member can be held by the current deputy director of the office, Liu Yun. Additionally, I have brought a comrade with me, Comrade Zhan Yongtao, to serve as the director of the Party and Government Office and join the team. What do you think?"

Following Ji Yang’s introduction of these individuals, Wen Chengming turned to look at Gao Dazhong and asked, "Old Gao, what’s your opinion?"

Gao Dazhong said, "I think it’s feasible. The people Mr. Ji Yang has proposed have, at least during crucial moments, not joined the ranks of the corrupt but have maintained their integrity. Moreover, they have previously held leadership positions, so there should be no issue with their abilities."

Wen Chengming then looked at Ning Wuyu and asked, "What do you think?"

Ning Wuyu replied, "Since Mr. Ji Yang will be responsible for the work there and is tasked with a mission, we need to take charge of the overall work as quickly as possible. Regarding personnel matters, I think we should proceed with the nominations suggested by Mr. Ji Yang."

Wen Chengming said, "Alright, we’ll handle it that way. Qingyuan Village is essentially structured like a development zone, and the city has mentioned several times to bring it under direct city management. After the incident, that plan was put on hold. Actually, to speak seriously, the place is not bad, it’s just been ruined. After you arrive there, make sure to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible and resolve some issues. As long as you do this work well, it will count as your achievement. Of course, if it can be improved from its current state and become a city-level development zone, that’s also possible. As for personnel matters, let’s go according to your nominations."

Although they knew such an arrangement would likely give Ji Yang full say in Qingyuan Village, under the current circumstances, there was really no better solution, so that was the only option.

Wen Chengming then looked at Ning Wuyu and said, "The conversation and such will be your responsibility. Have the minister from the county party organization department work with you on this. I’ll communicate with Hu Guomin."

Gao Dazhong said to Ji Yang, "The situation in Qingyuan Village is unique. If you have unsolvable tasks, contact me directly."

This was more or less consent for Ji Yang to report beyond his level, meaning the work in Qingyuan Village would almost be managed like a city-level development zone.

Wen Chengming said, "You have autonomy there, with many matters being primarily your responsibility. Our only request is to avoid causing any trouble."

Ji Yang felt secretly pleased in his heart. If this were the case, the likelihood of interference from those at the county level would be much reduced, which favored his own work in Qingyuan Village.

"Please rest assured, organization leaders. I will certainly do the job well."

Wen Chengming said, "Mr. Ji Yang, everyone up and down is paying attention to the affairs of Qingyuan Village. Compared to the county, the matters of Qingyuan Village are indeed a bit more important."

Ji Yang understood that the other party was stressing the importance of the work there. He naturally realized it involved some families who also didn’t want to be dragged down by the troubles of Qingyuan Village, and that he was expected to resolve the issues quickly.
