At 9:00 a.m. on December 4, all party representatives began to vote secretly for election to the members of the municipal party committee.

At around ten o'clock, the election box was moved to a small conference room for the Standing Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. The vote monitors, vote counters and other vote counters began to count the votes.

The members of the Standing Committee of the Chamber of Commerce sat aside and had tea and chatted.

Lu Zheng and Zhang Yugong sat together. Zhang Yugong, the former chief of Wushanren, was one of the three chariots. He was the oldest comrade among the Standing Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Now he can only show his face on such occasions.

Because it was Lu Zheng's old leader, Lu Zheng promoted Lu Zheng. After returning from Lu Zheng to Wushan, more and more Wushan cadres visited Mr. Zhang during festivals.

Sitting with Lu Zheng, Mr. Zhang was also a little touched. He patted Lu Zheng's hand and said, "I didn't see the wrong person back then. You are very good, very good."

The chief supervisor approved by the Certificate was Zeng Jiang, the secretary-general of the Municipal Axe just mentioned by Lu Zheng (formerly deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee and director of the Agency Affairs Administration), and the deputy chief supervisor was Jia Heping, deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, who is the full-time secretary of Huo Qinqun.

However, as the count of votes approached, Zeng Jiang and Jia Heping's faces became strange.

When the last vote was counted, Jia Heping quickly walked to Huo Qinqun and whispered something. Zeng Jiang also came to Lu Zheng and lowered his voice and said, "Mayor, Minister Xiong's votes are particularly low, more than 50 votes lower than the 54th place."

There are 55 candidates for municipal party committee members. If two differences are removed, fifty-three will be elected. Xiong Zongwu is ranked last, and there is still a big gap between the votes from the 54th place.

"What?!" Huo Qinqun stood up there. The sudden accident made it difficult for him to remain calm.

Xiong Zongwu, who was chatting with Lin Song, asked with a smile: "Is there something unexpected happening in the Book of the Book of the Eighth Delegation?" He was the head of the Eighth Delegation, the Economic and Trade System representatives and the Propaganda System representatives. There were 61 representatives in total. He hinted early that the representatives in the Ministry would not vote for Lu Zheng, saying that he could not be elected as a member of the Municipal Party Committee without a vote. There was some gap with the Book of the Huo, which was considered embarrassing to him.

Seeing the appearance of the clerk's record, Xiong Zongwu thought to himself, is the difference between Lu Zheng and clerk's record of the clerk's record that is too big and it is difficult to explain to the above?

"The votes are correct?" Huo Qinqun asked Jia Heping with a frown.

Zeng Jiang said to Zhang Yugong who asked him: "Old Zhang, Minister Xiong Zongwu has the last vote." He estimated that the mayor's thoughts, and the voice of this sentence was quite low.

The Standing Committee members and staff in the small conference room could hear it clearly and immediately got an uproar.

This means that Xiong Zongwu was defeated in the election of members of the municipal party committee.

Xiong Zongwu never expected Huo Qinqun's "accident" to be like this. His smile froze, his formation was blue and white, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

Lin Song stood up and said, "Click it again." He walked over, arrived at the ticket box, and signaled to re-count the ticket.

Although he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, his current actions are too unruly. However, no one can say anything. However, Zeng Jiang also followed him to the ballot box and continued to perform his duties of monitoring votes.

After counting one vote after another, the result was exactly the same as before, and the votes of all candidates did not change at all.

There was a little chaos in the venue, and everyone was whispering. This was too unexpected. Xiong Zongwu was not elected as a member of the municipal party committee, so he was naturally not qualified to be a candidate for the municipal party committee standing committee and could not be appointed as a member of the municipal party committee standing committee. Should he, as the propaganda minister, be taken down? What is the reaction of the provincial and even the central government knowing such an election result?

Since the implementation of the difference election in 1986, at the Party Congress and the People's Congress, members of the Party Committee at all levels, members of the Standing Committee and even political leaders who were appointed by the Party Congress and the People's Congress often appeared sporadically, with many more influential provinces and cities, but this is the first time in Wushan.

What to do? Many people looked at Huo Qinqun.

In fact, there was no public vote count. During the period of counting, only the members of the Standing Committee of the Chamber of Commerce were present. If conditions permit, it would be possible to directly raise the ranking of the unselected members to the forefront. However, Xiong Zongwu was defeated, but Lu Zheng was present. The political structure of Wushan was relatively subtle, so it was difficult to vaguely circumvent the election results.

"I want to ask the provincial party committee for instructions." Huo Qinqun left the conference room with a calm face. Such an incident happened, and the entire Wushan team, including him, might not be able to have a good time.

Huo Qinqun just left with his hands, and the members of the Standing Committee in the conference room looked at each other.

Chen Qin, a political commissar of the Military Sub-district, frowned and said, "The representatives are waiting. You can't waste it like this. The province has to study the results, but I don't know how long it will take."

Lu Zheng looked at the watch and said, "The music will be played in the venue. Feng Rui, you are the Secretary-General. You will add a temporary draft to talk about reform and opening up, and then take a break for the time being. Have a meal first. I think the result will be announced in the afternoon."

As soon as the result of such an election comes out, the people here feel different when they look at Lu Zheng. Lao Xiong has a very poor popularity and offended many circles in Wushan, including the media circle, and he hates him the most. However, it is hard to say that without the above hint, the party representatives would abandon him in unanimous ways. Even if it was not arranged by Lu Zheng, this also means that in Wushan, if it is not the same as Lu Zheng, it would be unpopular.

Following Lu Zheng's instructions, everyone felt a little calm. It seemed that Lu Zheng was not afraid of this result angering the provincial party committee leader. There must be a way to resolve it. This would be great.

Xu Fengrui also hurried to the venue to appease the party representatives.

Xiong Zongwu occasionally stared at Lu Zheng for a few times. Now he was in a state of confusion. No matter what he thought about, it was not easy to get into trouble.

After lunch, everyone went back to the small conference room and discussed this matter, but Xiong Zongwu did not show up.

Until two o'clock, Xiong Zongwu came up and sat aside, smoking all the time, and it was hard for others to tell him anything.

It was almost three o'clock when Huo Qinqun entered the conference room, his face looked bad.

"The meaning of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Gao's meaning is to respect the choices of the party representatives, but the investigation team under the Provincial Party Committee investigates whether there are any bribery and canvassing votes." Huo Qinqun said briefly, glanced at Xiong Zongwu and said, "Let's do this, we will add Zongwu among the candidates for the alternate municipal party committee members."

Xiong Zongwu had already stood up, his face turned red, and he waved his hand hard: "I abstain!" After saying that, he strided and left the venue. With a bang, the sound of closing the door made the door frame seem to be moving.

Even if he is elected as an alternate member of the Municipal Party Committee, will he be appointed as the Minister of the Propaganda Department as an alternate member of the Municipal Party Committee? Moreover, judging from the number of votes he received, I am afraid that the alternate member of the Municipal Party Committee will be in danger. If the alternate member of the Municipal Party Committee is not elected, wouldn’t he lose all his face?

Moreover, this is not a transfer. It is impossible for the Provincial Party Committee to directly appoint you as a member of the Municipal Party Committee and Standing Committee after the Party Congress ends. Otherwise, what is the significance of the Party Congress?

Therefore, the alternate member has no value at all.

In this way, it would rather not compete for this candidate.

Everyone can think of Xiong Zongwu’s idea. If you ask yourself, if you change yourself, you will probably have the same choice.

"Okay, let's go out and announce the results." Huo Qinqun took the lead, and everyone stood up one after another and left the small conference room one after another.

The election of alternate members of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will soon end, but nothing unexpected happened.

In one of the small venues in the Convention and Exhibition Center, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection held a new Discipline Inspection Commission Committee meeting to discuss and deliberate and elect a new Disciple of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Deputy Disciple. The result was no surprise, and the Disciple of the Disciple was still elected by Lin Song.

Afterwards, the newly elected members of the municipal party committee entered a venue with a capacity of 100 people, preparing to hold the final stage of the conference, the first plenary meeting of the 8th Wushan Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China.

According to the original schedule, the first plenary meeting of the Municipal Party Committee will be held at 2 pm to elect the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary. Then the fourth plenary meeting of the Party Congress, that is, the closing ceremony. Through the work report of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the election results of the new Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will be announced. The newly elected Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will be delivered and the conference will be successfully concluded.

However, because Xiong Zongwu was unexpectedly defeated, not only did the time delay, but many arrangements were also disrupted.

Just as most of the newly elected municipal party committee members were waiting for the plenary meeting in the conference room, the Standing Committee of the conference heads of the conference came to the small conference room again to discuss the arrangements for the plenary meeting of the municipal party committee.

In fact, it mainly discusses candidates for members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.

According to the original arrangement, the Standing Committee of this Municipal Party Committee should be composed of twelve Standing Committee members, with one person difference, and a total of thirteen candidates for the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee will run for the election.

The original candidates were Huo Qinqun, Lu Zheng, Ren Zhonghua, Xu Fengrui, Dong Kuan, Xiong Zongwu, Lin Song, Chen Jiaqiang, Yue Dongfang, Chen Qin, Wang Yubao, He Jinxing and Wang Futing.

Among them, Chen Qin is the political commissar of the Military Sub-district, and Wang Futing, the deputy mayor, is the candidate.

But now Xiong Zongwu is out of the election, and the candidates for the Standing Committee have become twelve. If twelve other Standing Committee members are elected, it means that Wang Futing will also enter the Standing Committee.

Lu Zheng proposed to add another candidate, Gong Aiguo, Minister of the United Front Work Department.

Although Gong Aiguo joined the Standing Committee of the Congress, according to the original discussion and arrangement of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the new Standing Committee did not have the position of Gong Aiguo. His position as the Minister of United Front Work will be held by Xiong Zongwu, and he himself will be assigned to a relatively important deputy department-level position.

Now Lu Zheng proposed to add Gong Aiguo as a candidate, and Huo Qinqun directly objected. This was a situation that had never happened in previous meetings. Everyone could see that Qinqun's account was really anxious and messy.

Huo Qinqun proposed that the number of candidates for the Standing Committee remained unchanged, but the members of the new Standing Committee were reduced to eleven, and said that they had reported to the province and received support from the provincial party committee.

Obviously, when reporting on the Xiong Zongwu incident, Huo Qinqun had already considered the next thing thoroughly and prevented Lu Zheng from doing this.

If Gong Aiguo is added to the candidate, this also means that one of Wang Futing and Gong Aiguo will inevitably enter the Standing Committee. One of these two people is the deputy mayor who has worked with Lu Zheng for many years; the other is the United Front Work Minister and old subordinate when Lu Zheng served as the Secretary of the Binhai New Area. No matter who joins the Standing Committee, they are Lu Zheng's help.

Of course, I would not agree with the story of the book.

Everyone present was as clear as a mirror.

In front of Gong Aiguo, Huo Qinqun flatly refused to add him as a candidate. Although Gong Aiguo bowed his head and said nothing, he would feel dissatisfied in his heart if he had no choice.

Because the arrangements were all disrupted, the Standing Committee of the Certificate discussed his promotion in the presence of the cadres involved, which is also an extremely rare situation.

Huo Qinqun brought out the opinions of the provincial party committee leader, but Lu Zheng had nothing to say, and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep my opinions."

However, the election results of the plenary meeting were much beyond everyone's expectations. Wang Futing defeated He Jinxing by a vote and ranked eleventh.

In this way, according to the results of the plenary session, the newly elected eleven members of the Standing Committee should be Huo Qinqun, Lu Zheng, Ren Zhonghua, Xu Fengrui, Dong Kuan, Lin Song, Chen Jiaqiang, Yue Dongfang, Chen Qin, Wang Yubao and Wang Futing.

The atmosphere in the small conference room where the vote counting is located has become extremely strange.

Finally, Huo Qinqun waved, "Okay, let's announce the election results." In just a short time, he had returned to his calmness, and perhaps, he had calmly accepted the result of being beaten up.

Immediately, he said earnestly: "Comrades, there are some problems with this Party Congress. I think someone will take responsibility." When he said this, his eyes glanced at Lu Zheng intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Zheng just smoked slowly, with no expression on his face.

When the conference held its last meeting and announced the election results of the Municipal Party Committee Plenary Session to all Party representatives, most of the representatives were very calm. They were not sure what had happened. It was just that many representatives secretly felt happy for Xiong Zongwu not to enter the Standing Committee in the end.

The more important ministries, commissions, bureaus, and representatives of cadres from the municipal party committee and municipal government offices with relatively high levels were in an uproar.

Among the eleven members of the Standing Committee, not including Mayor Lu Zheng, there are three people in the mayor's system, including Chen Jiaqiang, Wang Yubao and Wang Futing.

In addition, the deputy secretary who has been getting closer and closer to the mayor recently, Ren Zhonghua, deputy director of the Ren Chalc University, and relatively neutral standing members, such as Chen Qin, a political commissar of the Military Sub-district, in the Standing Committee, the mayor system can already compete with the Cretaceous System, and may even have an advantage.

No one would have thought that the mayor's system won a great victory this time. Two of the three new members of the Standing Committee were the mayor's direct line. Another new member of the Standing Committee Yue Dongfang had a unclear position and might be closer to the relatives' records. However, Zhang Sheng, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, was transferred, was also the Record of the Record of the Record of the Record of the Chronicle. The dismissed member of the Standing Committee, heard that the General Secretary of the General Office was yelling at the Standing Committee, but his fallen attacked was not an accident.

One person in the Cretaceous Records system, one person left, and one person was dismissed; two people in the Mayor system. One person has risen and the other has declined. After the change of leadership, the situation where Huo Qinqun's Secretary's Records was covered in the Standing Committee was afraid that it would be gone forever.

The conference came to an end in this puzzled atmosphere.

After Huo Qinqun reported to the provincial party committee leader about the situation of the Party Congress and the Municipal Party Committee Plenary Session, a new meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held overnight.

At this meeting, Huo Qinqun did not talk about the election anymore, and the main thing was to arrange division of labor.

The division of labor among most members of the Standing Committee has not changed. Among the newly elected members of the Standing Committee, Yue Dongfang also served as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and Wang Futing also served as the Minister of the United Front Work Department.

Naturally, Xiong Zongwu's Minister of Propaganda Department could not be spared. Originally, Huo Qinqun asked someone to come to the meeting to attend, but Xiong Zongwu did not come in the end.

After the Standing Committee meeting ended, he left the conference room side by side with Lu Zheng. Wang Yubao was proud at this moment, but he asked with concern: "Mayor, there is no problem." This way of doing so is beyond the norm.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Let's see."

In the next few days, Wang Yubao had to admire Lu Zheng, and he was indeed very foresighted.

Just as the Wushan Municipal Party Congress was held, several provinces in the south also began to change the two sessions. The two sessions were the People's Congress and the CPPCC. The two sessions changed the two sessions, mainly changing the heads of political institutions, the National People's Political Consultative Conference, the leaders of the CPPCC system, etc.

There were two provinces in the south where there was a problem during the change of term. In these two provinces, the candidate for governor nominated by the Central Committee of the Central Committee was dismissed, and the original candidate for vice governor was elected as governor.
