Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Striving for Benefits

While speaking, a middle-aged man strode in.

Ji Yang saw it was Secretary of the Municipal Committee, Tian Jiacai, and hurriedly got up, saying, "Hello, Secretary Tian."

"Mr. Ji Yang has arrived." Tian Jiacai had seen him at the last team meeting, and although they were not very familiar, their interactions now seemed much warmer.

"Have you met Minister Meng?"

"I just met her."

"Yes, the adjustments at the provincial level have been simplified this time. She took office first, and there will be some minor personnel tweaks announced soon."

Meng Yajuan smiled and said, "The organization asked me to come here to take over the work, so I hurried over."

Ji Yang realized many things were not following procedure. He was just wondering about this matter. Normally, when members of the municipal committee take office, other team members should also attend the announcement meeting, but that hadn’t happened, which was puzzling.

Seeing Ji Yang’s expression, Tian Jiacai said, "The adjustments at the provincial level are also significant. Many people are being moved around, and the cadre adjustments below are continuously taking place. It’s intended that personnel take charge first, and then everything will be officially announced after the adjustments are complete."

Meng Yajuan laughed and said, "So, we are just acting as ministers for the time being. Whether we can remove ’acting’ will depend on our performance."

Ji Yang shook his head silently. Many things in South Dian had become interesting, and even this method of operation was unique.

After everyone sat down, Tian Jiacai said, "I know you are busy over there, and we won’t disturb you unnecessarily. The reason we asked you to come is to discuss the team adjustments in your county. The city is aware that your area is somewhat special. You are more familiar with that place, so we would like to hear your opinion first."

Seeing both of them looked at him, Ji Yang said, "I don’t have any opinions on the adjustments. However, as you are aware, the situation there is complicated. Without people who are truly familiar with the context and can get things done, it’s difficult to proceed with the work. Nobody wants problems to arise there, right?"

Tian Jiacai nodded slightly and said, "You are right. The municipal committee has taken this into account, which is why we asked you to come and discuss these matters. This time, the higher-ups will parachute several comrades into Chunshui County to form a team with you. We are concerned that they might not be familiar with the local conditions, which could inconvenience your work."

Ji Yang then realized, the parachuted individuals were probably not on the same line as them. This was an attempt to win him over.

After understanding the whole situation, Ji Yang guessed that Tian Jiacai and Meng Yajuan had likely formed an alliance. Their alliance was thinking of pulling some people to their side, and he was considered a short-term immovable member of the team; naturally, they intended to win him over with this matter.

Since there were benefits to be had, Ji Yang naturally was going to accept them and said, "Secretary Tian, Minister Meng, I do have a few candidates in mind. If placed in the right positions, they can certainly perform well."

Meng Yajuan looked at Ji Yang with wide eyes and said, "Go ahead."

Meng Yajuan found herself increasingly drawn to this handsome man, whether it was his looks or charisma. Ji Yang was truly impressive.

"Firstly, about the position of Secretary-General. Previously, the Secretary-General was part of our team, but this time not. My idea is to promote the current director of the county committee office, Liu Piaoxue, to the position of the county committee’s Secretary-General, to bring her into the team. Although she had a minor issue in a past incident, it wasn’t significant; her capabilities are adequate, and she is familiar with all the county’s tasks."

Ji Yang had also confirmed during this period that Liu Piaoxue had sided with him. Since he didn’t have many people under him, he’d help her out. If she maintained a loyal attitude towards him in her work, he would support her advancement; otherwise, there was no loss.

Tian Jiacai nodded slightly and said, "That’s possible; I agree in principle."

Meng Yajuan said, "I’ve also looked into this comrade. There really aren’t any major issues?"

"There really aren’t any significant issues; mainly, she’s familiar with various situations in the county and can get things done."

"I agree with Secretary Tian’s opinion as well."

"Also, regarding the director of the government office, Zheng Hong is very capable. The next step is to turn Xincheng into a new district of the county, and my suggestion is to let him take charge of the new district and enter the county committee team, holding a position as deputy county head."

"He feels a bit lacking in seniority," frowned Meng Yajuan.

Tian Jiacai said, "You’ll take charge of the new district. It’ll be more convenient for development. Let him get some experience first."

Ji Yang thought about it, and indeed, he was being a bit hasty. Zheng Hong was indeed lacking in seniority.

"Then let’s put Chu Zhendong in the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and concurrently the Director of Public Security. His abilities are strong in all aspects, and he has sufficient experience."

Tian Jiacai nodded and said, "I’m familiar with this comrade; indeed, he is good. I think it’s possible."

Meng Yajuan smiled and said, "That can work."

Seeing they had agreed, Ji Yang said, "I have no objections to the other positions."

Tian Jiacai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had come with a mission, as some higher-ups were worried that Ji Yang might not agree. Thus, they needed to discuss with him first. With his approval, the adjustments could be safely carried out. Now that it was settled, a lot of things would be easier to handle.

"That’s good. I’ll communicate with everyone, and these matters will be addressed soon."
