The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

He Chunsheng was appointed as the principal of No. 7 Middle School. Chen Shi did not have a suitable candidate for the principal of No. 8 Middle School, so he called Huang Ming to his office.

The two sat down in the reception room, and Chen Shi said, "I went to Mingzhou No. 1 High School for a meeting yesterday. The principal of No. 6 High School is Hu Ping, the vice principal of Mingzhou No. 1 High School. We need to arrange temporary office space for No. 6 High School and determine the members of the leadership team. The high school entrance examination is in a few days, and the enrollment work of the three high schools will begin."

"Director Chen, should we select the leadership team leader from the existing leadership teams of No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 Middle Schools?"

The closure of three high schools in rural towns raises the question of what to do with the original leadership teams.

Chen Shi lit a cigarette and took a puff: "Time is of the essence now, and there's no time to select the leadership teams for the three key high schools. Let's first determine the responsible persons and let them form their leadership teams. The original leadership teams for the three township high schools will be selected by the responsible persons of No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 High Schools. Those who are not selected will be demoted to ordinary teachers and participate in the same assessment. Those who fail the assessment will be transferred to teach at the central schools in their respective townships."

Huang Ming asked, "How to arrange the principals of the three high schools in the township is also a problem."

Chen Shi had already come up with a plan: "Yin Ping, the principal of No. 3 Middle School, will be transferred to No. 6 Middle School to serve as the vice principal and assist Comrade Hu Ping in carrying out teaching work."

Hou Weigui, the principal of No. 4 Middle School, was transferred to No. 7 Middle School to serve as vice principal; Li Fuguo, the principal of No. 2 Middle School, was transferred to No. 8 Middle School to serve as vice principal.

Huang Ming nodded: "The principals of the three high schools in the township were demoted and transferred to the three newly built high schools as vice principals, and they had no complaints."

The principals for No. 7 and No. 8 Middle Schools also need to be selected as soon as possible, and the admission process should begin after the high school entrance examination.

Chen Shi looked at Huang Ming: "Director Huang, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Huang Ming already had someone in mind: Liu Yu, the executive vice principal of No. 1 Middle School. He had a good relationship with his father-in-law, Zhao Xiongcai, and had seen Liu Yu several times at his father-in-law's house.

Liu Yu had also invited him to dinner alone. Huang Ming believed that Liu Yu was capable and could be given important responsibilities.

The main reason is that Zhao Xiongcai had already put in a good word for him; his father-in-law is a member of the Standing Committee, so they had to give him face.

"Director Chen, Liu Yu, the executive vice principal of No. 1 Middle School, is capable. He has served as a vice principal at No. 1 Middle School for many years and has rich teaching experience. He can shoulder heavy responsibilities."

Chen Shi had learned about Liu Yu from Jiang Yiqiu. He said that Liu Yu was a good person, but unfortunately he was paired with Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong was very powerful and always suppressed Liu Yu, so Liu Yu could not use his skills.

"Director Huang has high hopes for Liu Yu, so he'll give him a chance to demonstrate his talents. I don't care about the process, I only care about the result."

Let Liu Yu go to No. 8 Middle School and become its principal.

Huang Ming took out his notebook and wrote it down.

Chen Shi then asked, "Does Director Huang know He Chunsheng, the former principal of No. 4 Middle School?"

Huang Ming had no recollection of He Chunsheng. Chen Shi continued, "He Chunsheng was reported for embezzlement and bribery in 2006. The Discipline Inspection Commission intervened in the investigation but found no evidence. He was later demoted to a secondary position and did not hold any post."

He Chunsheng served as the principal of No. 4 Middle School from 2001 to 2006. At that time, No. 4 Middle School was able to compete with No. 1 Middle School.

The current No. 4 High School is consistently ranked near the bottom.

Huang Ming chimed in, "Director Chen, this kind of talent should be given important responsibilities. I suggest that He Chunsheng be appointed as the principal of No. 7 Middle School to oversee its operations."

Chen Shi nodded: "It's settled then. The main leaders of the three newly built high schools, No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8, have been determined. Let them form their leadership teams as soon as possible so as not to affect the subsequent enrollment work."

The Party Committee meeting will be held tomorrow morning to finalize this.

Huang Ming returned to his office and called Zhao Xiongcai.

"dad"

"Huang Ming, what's the matter?"

"Director Chen spoke with me earlier, and I recommended Liu Yu to him. He agreed to let Liu Yu go to No. 8 Middle School to serve as the principal. The bureau's party committee will hold a meeting tomorrow morning to go through the procedures and officially issue the appointment document."

"Liu Yu was suppressed by Yang Xiong at No. 1 Middle School. Your Education Bureau leadership team has a keen eye for talent. Liu Yu will not let you down."

Xiaoman and I came over for dinner tonight; it's been a long time since we've gotten together.

"Okay, I'll tell Xiaoman we'll come over after get off work."

Chen Shi spoke separately with Li Zhe and Yang Xiaobo, and the main leaders of the three newly built high schools were determined.

The next day, a Party Committee meeting was held, which was just a formality. After the meeting, the official appointment documents were issued.

Chen Shi called Xu Mengmeng to his office: "Director Xu, the leaders of the three newly built high schools have been confirmed. You need to arrange temporary office space for them."

Xu Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "Director Chen, I think the temporary office space for the three newly built high schools can be set up at No. 1 High School for two months. When school starts in September, they can move back to their new schools."

You handle this.

"it is good"

Xu Mengmeng came out of Chen Shi's office and called the driver to take her to No. 1 Middle School. She wanted to find Yang Xiong to discuss this matter.

Upon arriving at No. 1 Middle School and entering Yang Xiong's office, Yang Xiong immediately stood up to greet Xu Mengmeng, saying, "Director Xu, if you need anything, just give me a call, and I'll come right over."

"Principal Yang, I wouldn't dare trouble you. I've come to discuss something with you."

Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Director Xu, don't stand, sit down and let's talk."

He poured Xu Mengmeng a glass of warm water, and Xu Mengmeng took a sip: "Principal Yang, the leaders of No. 6 Middle School, No. 7 Middle School, and No. 8 Middle School have been decided. The high school entrance examination is tomorrow, and the enrollment work will begin after the examination. Time is tight. The three key high schools are not yet renovated and cannot be used for office work. I would like to ask you to think of a way to borrow a few offices from No. 1 Middle School as temporary office space for the three high schools."

Yang Xiong asked, "How many offices do you need?"

"A middle school needs two offices, one for the principal and one for other staff. Three key high schools would need six offices."

"Director Xu, when do you need it? I'll have someone prepare it."

"Have them tidy up tomorrow, then they'll need to start working."

"Okay," Yang Xiong readily agreed.

Xu Mengmeng stood up: "Principal Yang, thank you. I won't disturb your work any longer, I'll be going now."

Yang Xiong stood up to see Xu Mengmeng off: "Director Xu, please take care."

After Xu Mengmeng left, Yang Xiong called Tian Guangliang and asked him to come to his office.

Tian Guangliang arrived at the office: "Principal, you wanted to see me?"

"Go down and arrange for six offices to be set up for No. 6 Middle School, No. 7 Middle School, and No. 8 Middle School to use temporarily. Choose larger offices so they don't think No. 1 Middle School is stingy. Go down and coordinate, and they need to be ready by tomorrow."

Tian Guangliang quickly replied, "Okay, Principal, I'll make the arrangements right away."

Yang Xiong watched Tian Guangliang's departing figure. That lackey was so convenient to use.

He was in a good mood. Of the four high school principals, he was the only one who kept his position. The other three principals were demoted to deputy positions.

Yang Xiong didn't want to be a deputy; the deputy position was too stifling. He had ideas, but he couldn't put them into practice.

No matter how high your position is, within your own sphere of influence, what you say must carry weight and be as good as gold.
