Zhang Wen's name

Meeting room of the Standing Committee of the Hantong Provincial Committee.

Sha Ruijin convened a regular meeting of the Standing Committee.

"Comrades, the economy in 2014 was very impressive. Our Handong Province's GDP exceeded 70000 trillion yuan for the first time, and Handong's fiscal revenue also exceeded 7000 billion yuan for the first time. I fully affirm the government's work and hope that GDP will reach a new high this year."

"As the top leader of the government, I am very grateful to Secretary Sha for recognizing our government's work. We will definitely work harder to serve the people."

Organization Minister Wu Chunlin said, "Secretary Sha, there are several leadership positions vacant in our Handong Province. These comrades are all getting old and have chosen to retire."

"Minister Wu, let's publish the list and discuss it together."

"Okay, Secretary Sha, the vacant positions include the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, the Chief Prosecutor of Handong Province, Wang Aiguo in charge of education, the Deputy Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, the Mayor of Changzhou, and the Secretary of the Zhenshi Municipal Party Committee, among others."

Zhang Wen and the others' eyes lit up. One Standing Committee member, two vice-provincial level officials, and three department-level officials, including Changzhou City and Zhencheng City, which were key cities in the Hannan Plan. They were curious about the Standing Committee member's position and the locations of those two cities.

Sha Ruijin thought so too; the position of Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee must be secured, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out subsequent work.” Thinking this, Sha Ruijin immediately spoke up.

"Comrades, I propose that Comrade Gao Chang be appointed as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee. Comrade Gao Chang was originally the President of the Higher People's Court, and I think he is very suitable."

At this moment, Gao Yuliang spoke up, "Secretary Sha, I think it's inappropriate to appoint a cadre in charge of political and legal affairs as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

"Comrade Yuliang, I don't think so. Although Comrade Gaochang is the president of the court, he is very fair in his work. I believe he possesses all the qualities of an outstanding party member," Secretary Sha argued.

Zhang Wen began, "I also think Comrade Gao Chang is unsuitable. After all, the position of Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee is very special; it requires the ability to coordinate the overall situation, and this is not something that can be accomplished simply by reciting a few regulations. I propose that Comrade Sun Liancheng, the Mayor of Jingzhou, take the position. You all know Comrade Sun Liancheng. He has outstanding work ability; he coordinated several major projects in Jingzhou."

Wang Chaoyang, the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City, also spoke up, saying, "I agree with Governor Zhang's proposal."

Executive Vice Governor Zhao Yang also said, "I agree with Governor Zhang's proposal."

Lin Jianhua, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City, also spoke up, saying, "I also agree with Governor Zhang's proposal."

Seeing the somewhat out-of-control Standing Committee meeting, Sha Ruijin's face darkened. He glanced at Wu Chunlin and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? Couldn't you have brought this up privately? How am I supposed to handle this situation?" But since things had come to this point, Sha Ruijin had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

"Comrades, since we have a dispute, let's vote by raising our hands. Raise your hands if you agree to appoint Comrade Gao Chang as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

Organization Minister Wu Chunlin said, "I agree with Secretary Sha's proposal."

Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Tian Guofu said, "I agree with Secretary Sha's proposal."

When Sha Ruijin saw that there were only 2 votes at the scene, and with his own votes, he only had 3, his heart sank. What was going on? What was so good about Governor Zhang? All he did was give out money and develop the economy.

Sha Ruijin spoke again, saying, "Raise your hand if you agree that Sun Liancheng should be the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

Wang Chaoyang, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, said, "I agree to Comrade Sun Liancheng serving as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

Lin Jianhua, Secretary of the Lüzhou Municipal Party Committee, said, "I agree to Comrade Sun Liancheng serving as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

The United Front Work Department Minister said, "I agree to appoint Comrade Sun Liancheng as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

Gao Yuliang: "I agree that Comrade Sun Liancheng should serve as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

Li Jun, Secretary of the Lincheng Municipal Party Committee, said, "I agree to Comrade Sun Liancheng serving as Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee."

Propaganda Minister Li Chunmei said, "I agree to let Comrade Sun Liancheng serve as Secretary-General."

Seeing this, Zhang Wen also raised his hand.

Sha Ruijin took a deep breath and then announced the appointment.

Then he immediately adjourned the meeting. He was a little flustered by the feeling that the Standing Committee was out of control. He couldn't understand why so many people were siding with the governor. Didn't they know that he was the top leader?

If Zhang Wen knew what Sha Ruijin was thinking at this moment, Zhang Wen would definitely say, "My economy is developing so well, and everyone who follows me is making progress. Look at that Governor Liu, he was promoted half a rank after retiring. Why bother following Sha Ruijin, who goes hungry nine times a day and has the risk of being blamed?"
