Chapter 545: Chapter 545: All Testing

Ji Yang had just arranged things for two people when he received a notification about a meeting.

When Ji Yang arrived at the small conference room, everyone else had also arrived, greeting each other with handshakes in a very pleasant atmosphere.

Everyone took their seats in the order of their names, and no one deviated from this protocol.

According to the order, Ji Yang was the fourth one, so he took his seat.

Shortly after Ji Yang sat down, Zhou Dacheng and Huang Song had already arrived.

Entering the conference room seemed to follow its own rules as well, based on the hierarchy of positions. With a secretary watching, everyone kept the order, and they would inform their bosses when it was time for them to enter.

After another round of handshakes and greetings, everyone settled down.

The expressions on everyone’s faces suddenly turned serious.

Once everyone was seated, Zhou Dacheng began, "We’ve called this emergency meeting because there is an issue that needs to be discussed, namely the People’s Congress meeting. We are all in place, but since the People’s Congress hasn’t approved yet, it is difficult for everyone to carry out their work."

Everyone was aware of the issue and remained silent. Actually, this matter was Zhou Dacheng’s responsibility. He was going to take on the role of the People’s Congress work next, so if he didn’t manage this meeting well, it would be difficult to explain to the higher-ups.

Huang Song said, "This is indeed a major issue. Without the meeting being held, things aren’t proper, and it’s hard for everyone to proceed with their work. I wonder when the People’s Congress plans to convene."

"The day after tomorrow, the preparations are almost complete."

Everyone nodded quietly. It seemed that Zhou Dacheng had indeed done quite a bit of work.

Suddenly, Zhou Dacheng changed the topic, "The affair with the People’s Congress is an important matter. The main purpose of today’s meeting is to update everyone on the progress. The specifics of the meeting will be announced. While handling this, I’ve also noticed some issues in the coordination between the offices of the Party Committee and the government. Thus, I suggest we discuss the candidates for the directors of the two offices to facilitate better work."

Instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn to this issue; it seemed that the discussion on the directors of the two offices was a main content of today’s meeting.

Zhou Dacheng had not discussed this with everyone beforehand and brought it up suddenly. Could it be that he had already prepared?

The main reason everyone had been inactive these past few days was because the People’s Congress hadn’t convened, and they hadn’t yet established their own influence. Now that Zhou Dacheng brought it up, he must have his strategies.

Huang Song’s eyes also flickered, clearly not anticipating this development.

Ji Yang observed everything carefully.

In fact, even without being obvious, Ji Yang could perceive the fluctuations in everyone’s expressions; it was clear they were all somewhat surprised.

However, speaking seriously, a few people didn’t seem surprised.

One was the Organization Department Head, who showed no surprise at all.

Another was Fang Shijun, who despite appearing surprised, didn’t feel surprised to Ji Yang.

With these observations, Ji Yang realized these two must be aligning with Zhou Dacheng.

Being the chief with support from these two, holding three votes was indeed a powerful force. If Zhou Dacheng were to negotiate some trades with the others later on, the situation could easily sway in his favor.

Secretary Zhou, I believe it is improper to discuss this matter now," Huang Song said. "The People’s Congress hasn’t convened, many issues are difficult to address, and we still need time to understand the situation of the cadres in the city. Bringing this up for discussion now seems too hasty."

"Yes, I also think it is a bit hasty," added Lu Mingping, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. "Right now, we haven’t completely familiarized ourselves with the cadre’s situations, and we aren’t fully aware of the conditions of our respective units. Discussing this now seems inappropriate."

Ji Yang did some probing again and noticed some connection forming between him and Huang Song, but it appeared somewhat weak.

"Everyone, please share your thoughts; I’m just putting it out there for open discussion," Zhou Dacheng said with a smile.

For a moment, everyone shared their opinions.

Zhou Dacheng kept smiling, and Ji Yang suddenly had another epiphany—Zhou Dacheng was actually using this issue to gauge everyone’s thoughts. Now, it seemed he had achieved his goal.

It looked like after today’s meeting, the balance of power was about to be disrupted.
