Chapter 2269 - 2269

Faced with this noisy situation, Zhang Qidong was quite used to it.

After all, at such meetings, such arguments are very common.

When everyone had argued enough, they all looked at Zhang Qidong.

At times like this, the temporary topic he raised obviously still depended on his intentions.

If you can persuade everyone, they will pass it, and vote by majority rule.

If you can't persuade them, sorry, too many opposing votes, speaking is useless.

Alright, Zhang Qidong adjusted the black legs of his glasses, maintaining his refined scholarly aura.

Over the years, one could say that Zhang Qidong has been the most stylish of the Dongnan City's leadership.

After all, these years, the Southeast Zhang Family has always dominated the top politics of Dongnan City, with a severe trend of ad hoc groups.

Many outside officials were quickly assimilated.

But Zhang Qidong, more like a breath of fresh air, blew into Dongnan City's political echelon.

He has maintained his own style in recent years, indeed neither greedy nor corrupt, not seeking social contacts or forming factions, doing his own thing without offending anyone, which really tests political wisdom.

Generally speaking, he has lived in peace with local forces.

They were not close or distant with him, not hot or cold. No conflicts, no issues.

As for him, in terms of governance, he has some routines, not outstanding but definitely competent.

Now, Zhang Qidong speaks seriously:

"Comrades, I can fully understand everyone's ideas and views. After all, under normal thinking, these are indeed normal."

"However, Zhang Qidong did not choose sides in the Liu Zhizhong incident, but focused on the matter itself and took a practical approach."

"One of our working principles is to seek truth from facts! First, Comrade Liu Zhizhong is indeed talented, with firm political aspirations. His university professional academic ability to his student association work experience already proves this point."

"Second, in the current era, talent is rare, and if the opportunity arises, we still need to utilize talent more, which is also our work principle. Liu Zhizhong's situation is very special, and special issues require special treatment, which has always been another rule our predecessors and superiors have been following..."

"Third..."

"Fourth..."

"..."

Damn...

Zhang Qidong indeed is a scholar-type official, listing nearly ten of his points in one breath.

The on-site committee members were almost speechless and stunned.

Whether Zhang Qidong prepared in advance or improvised, his eloquence and reasoning were indeed astonishing.

Of all he said, not a single point could provoke opposition, all were hard to refute.

Only at the end, Secretary Liao Xuebin seriously said: "What Mayor Zhang said, we can all understand and accept. However, if Liu Zhizhong continues to enjoy such privileges, how does Mayor Zhang hope to arrange his work? Will he directly enter the City Government Secretariat to serve his teacher, or somewhere else?"

With his statement, it basically concluded that Liu Zhizhong's position as a selected student was settled.

Other committee members also nodded one after another, although they said nothing, their expressions already supported Liao Xuebin's view.

Even those committee members directly related to the Zhang Family, including the Mayor, Propaganda Minister, Public Security Bureau Director, understood the situation.

After all, Zhang Qidong mentioned the grievances between Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Xiaoyang, suggesting the Zhang Family should be more generous and give the young man some opportunities, since Liu Zhizhong lost his lover, and the Zhang Family gained a beautiful daughter-in-law, Gu Man.

Such words made the Zhang Family's cronies feel they shouldn't be too ruthless.

Now, Zhang Qidong knew the matter was basically settled.

Therefore, he said: "Secretary Liao, colleagues, I certainly won't utilize the teacher-student relationship to request Liu Zhizhong be assigned to my side. Regarding his appointment, I personally have the least say, avoiding suspicion is necessary. At that time, let's see how the organization considers it, and if you have better arrangements suggested today, discussing together would be fine."

Since the matter was discussed this far, no one had any objections.

Thus, under Liao Xuebin's presiding, they first voted, unanimously passing: continuing to retain Liu Zhizhong's selected student status.

Next, a small-scale discussion ensued, and finally Liu Zhizhong's position was decided.

In this position, people related to the Zhang Family still exerted some subtle influence, causing minor trouble.

Under such circumstances, they had to consider Zhang Xiaoyang's feelings.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhong's appointment must not be in a prominent department, nor in a position with obvious advancement potential.

Based on this consideration, it was decided Liu Zhizhong could only stay in a relatively cold office.

And this office is the Dongnan City Meteorological Bureau Comprehensive Section.

Damn...

Meteorological Bureau...

Cold enough, right?

Comprehensive Section, well, it can be considered an important department.

However, the Meteorological Bureau is really cold and quite idle, requiring little specialized knowledge, with many just idly spending time in connections.

Assigning Liu Zhizhong there, although according to special regulations, he was directly given a deputy section chief role, and at the end of the year, he could be promoted to deputy section chief. Considering his peculiar situation as a vegetative state for nearly three years, the organizational department decided to supplement his working tenure and such, so being promoted to deputy section chief was possible.

Although Zhang Qidong was somewhat displeased with this appointment, he did not oppose it.

Thus, Liu Zhizhong's appointment was settled, and the vote passed with raised hands.

After the meeting officially ended, Zhang Qidong returned to the City Government office and directly called Liu Zhizhong to explain the situation.

"Zhizhong, this decision has been made, it will be broadcasted in tonight's news, and all relevant Party and government news platforms will also publish it. Initially, when this decision came out, I opposed it, but I didn't cast a dissenting vote, I hope you can understand!"

Although Liu Zhizhong was a bit disappointed, he remained optimistic, saying: "Teacher, I am already very satisfied, you made an effort, you achieved it. Although the department isn't ideal, it's preserved my political life, making the future possible, I am already very satisfied."

"Hmm, secure your livelihood first, then inquire about the future, that's correct. Next, I look forward to my best student's best performance!"
