Chapter 2432 Pragmatic Leadership

Qin Feng pressed his hand.

"Sit down, don't be so restrained." Qin Feng said lightly.

Peng Zhimin sat down obediently. At this time, Zhang Xinming came over with tea after cleaning the table. After making tea for the two of them, Zhang Xinming prepared to go out as usual.

A secretary should have the awareness of a secretary. If the leader does not specifically ask you to stay when discussing something, you have to leave on your own, otherwise it would be considered immature.

"Xinming, please sit down and have some tea with us." Qin Feng called Zhang Xinming.

Zhang Xinming nodded gratefully and sat down at the other end of the sofa.

For a secretary, the leader’s willingness to let him sit down and listen to these “secrets” is the greatest trust he places on his boss.

"You don't have to thank me so quickly. This matter is still in the preliminary stage of planning. A five-member group meeting will be held in two days. We will make a preliminary decision on whether to recommend you or not at that time. Moreover, whether this matter can be finally implemented depends on the opinion of the province." Qin Feng said slowly.

Of course Peng Zhimin knew this process, but it was only in theory.

First of all, although this matter has not even been brought up at the five-member group meeting, that is to say, it has not even gone through the process of selecting candidates, but as long as Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng both agree, there will be no problem whether it is at the five-member group meeting or at the Standing Committee meeting. What kind of accident can go wrong if the top two leaders both agree?

No matter how powerful Shao Hongli is, he cannot influence the Standing Committee. He relies mainly on Tang Zeyan to influence the Standing Committee to interfere in personnel matters. However, when Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng both agree, Tang Zeyan's opinion is basically unimportant.

Secondly, the power to appoint county party secretaries does lie with the province, but it is generally based on recommendations from the municipality. Otherwise, how can the municipality manage the county party committee?

There are cases where the provincial party committee directly appoints county party secretaries without going through the municipal party committee, but it is not common, and the provincial party committee will also inform the municipal government in advance, usually before the municipal government studies and recommends candidates.

This incident has happened for such a long time, and there has been no movement from the province, which means that the province has no intention of directly appointing the secretary of the Pingnan County Party Committee.

Of course, the province will evaluate the candidates recommended by the municipal party committee, but as long as there are no major issues of principle, the province will generally not reject them.

Therefore, it is basically certain that Peng Zhimin will serve as the secretary of the Pingnan County Party Committee. This is why Peng Zhimin is very excited and why Qin Feng called Peng Zhimin over for a talk.

"Mayor, no matter whether this matter can be accomplished in the end, I, Peng Zhimin, will never forget your kindness." Peng Zhimin said "seriously".

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. You and I are both party members and cadres. We cannot engage in personality cults or pull in small factions. I recommended you because I think you have the ability to manage the affairs of Pingnan County, not because I want you to thank me personally."

"Yes, Mayor, if I can really work in Pingnan County, I will work with all my passion and energy, and will never embarrass you."

Peng Zhimin is a very smart person. He knows how to act according to Qin Feng's expression. Even if he is flattering him, he will not flatter him too much, because he can see that Qin Feng is not a leader who likes to listen to flattery, but a person who likes to get things done.

"You should be aware of the chemical plant explosion that just happened in Pingnan County? The former Pingnan County Party Committee Secretary and County Mayor were both dismissed, and I was also given a serious punishment." Qin Feng said slowly.

"I heard about this, Mayor. I have to say something that cannot be shared with the public. Dai Zhiming and Sun Xuekun deserved to be removed from their posts and investigated. But what does this have to do with you? No matter how we hold them accountable, you will never be held responsible!"

"I strongly disagree with the province's disciplinary decision..." Peng Zhimin was filled with indignation.

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's best not to say these things even behind closed doors. As the mayor, I am certainly responsible for such a major production safety accident. The province naturally has its own considerations when punishing me. These are not the points I want to discuss with you today."

"Comrade Zhimin, the situation in Pingnan County is very urgent. Currently, both the county party secretary and the county magistrate are vacant, and there are also many important leadership vacancies. In addition, the aftermath of the chemical plant explosion has not yet been fully launched, and there are huge contradictions."

"Therefore, under this situation, it is urgent to fill in the positions as soon as possible, especially the county party secretary and county magistrate. Therefore, the personnel adjustment of the Pingnan County Party Committee secretary and county magistrate will be handled specially and the process will be completed as quickly as possible."

"I called you here today because I wanted to sit down and talk with you before confirming this matter." Qin Feng said while smoking.

When Qin Feng said this, Peng Zhimin nodded quickly, and sat sideways very seriously and respectfully to ensure that he was always facing Qin Feng.

"I am a pragmatic person. I don't like to engage in pretentious things, including when I speak. I like to be straightforward and get to the point."

"I asked you to go to Pingnan County for several reasons."

"First, I need you to completely control the overall situation in Pingnan County." Qin Feng really spoke directly and straightforwardly as he said. Few leaders can speak so bluntly.

"I can tell you the truth. Secretary Jiang and I have a huge disagreement about your appointment. In order to allow you to serve as the county party secretary of Pingnan County, I paid a relatively large political price."

"Why must I let you be the county party secretary instead of the county governor?"

"The current situation in Pingnan County can be said to be riddled with holes. This is a bad thing, but also a good thing. The riddled situation means that it will take more effort for you to rebuild stability, but it will also make it easier for you to build your own team."

"In short, my first request to you is that you must completely control the situation in Pingnan County. I understand. Complete control."

"During this process, you don't need to have any concerns. Just do whatever you want. Do it boldly. As long as you don't make big mistakes in principle, and as long as I am still the mayor, no one can touch you."

Every word Qin Feng spoke was very sharp, leaving Peng Zhimin no room for negotiation.

"Second, we must ensure that the aftermath of the chemical plant explosion is resolved smoothly and orderly. In order to get you to serve as the county party secretary of Pingnan County, I promised Secretary Jiang that the chemical plant explosion will be perfectly resolved in your hands. This is a military order I wrote for you. If there is any mistake in the aftermath of the chemical plant explosion, I can't protect you, and I won't protect you."

"Of course, I will ask the municipal government to provide you with some financial assistance during the process, but it mainly depends on you." Qin Feng smoked heavily.
