Nominal: The pinnacle of power began in the sixth province of Handong.

Chapter 169 Organization Department's Brainstorming Session

"Respected Minister Xia Qing, leaders, and colleagues, I am Jiang Shulan from the office."

The first person to give a presentation was Jiang Shulan, the office director.

Jiang Shulan managed everything very well, and Xia Qing had a very good impression of her.

After the office staff finished their reports, it was the turn of the Party Committee, Policy Research Office, Cadre Department, Organization Department, and so on...

Xia Qing listened very attentively, occasionally circling and marking the materials, trying her best to remember everyone.

After the last director of the talent office finished speaking, Xia Qing led the applause.

The vice ministers sitting on either side also applauded.

After listening to all the section chiefs' reports, the next step was the annual democratic evaluation of the department.

After each cadre and employee put their evaluation ballot into the ballot box.

In the final segment, Xia Qing delivered a speech.

He first gently and slowly moved his gaze over each person, indicating that he was making a mental note of each one.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth.

Xia Qing put forward the expectation of "four-capable cadres" for every cadre and staff member of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department.

They can write well, speak fluently, respond to questions, and handle matters effectively.

He urged the cadres not only to focus on their work but also to keep an eye on the road ahead.

Finally, I offered a twelve-character expectation.

Perform duties responsibly, strive for excellence, be meticulous, and be willing to help others succeed.

Xia Qing's speech was professional yet humorous, strict yet kind, and flowed smoothly and coherently.

And he spoke entirely without notes, without even glancing at his notebook.

It won unanimous praise from the audience, and was met with thunderous applause.

Even the vice ministers sitting on either side of him couldn't help but show their sincere admiration after seeing the closed notebook in front of Xia Qing.

After Xia Qing finished speaking, Executive Director Lei Yu gave a summary and made arrangements for the next steps.

Of course, it was at Xia Qing's behest.

Each cadre department should guide provincial and municipal departments to conduct annual performance evaluations of their general staff.

All departments and offices should continue to do a good job in the village committee elections.

We are working with the Department of Human Resources and Social Security to fully support the pilot program of parallel job ranks.

Increase efforts to attract talent, especially talent in emerging fields and high-level scientific and technological talent.

There are two other tasks that Xia Qing proposed based on the current situation.

First, the cadre department took the lead in collecting information and generating a database of information on the party committees of various cities and prefectures in Handong Province. This will facilitate smooth information flow and accurate personnel selection in the subsequent work of optimizing and allocating team members.

Second, a review of the frozen cadre list will be conducted. For cadres affected by the 2015 cadre freeze, who missed the promotion deadline but were found to have no issues after evaluation, their promotion or compensation issues will be resolved at the same level as before. If the target unit does not have enough positions, their promotion will be resolved in another unit after consulting with them, or their compensation will be resolved first, and they will be promoted when positions become available.

These two measures immediately received strong support from all the organization department cadres after Lei Yu finished speaking.

The second measure, in particular, demonstrates the Organization Department's sincere dedication to providing excellent service.

It should be noted that the freeze on cadres implemented by Sha Ruijin in order to suppress the Handa clique actually affected the career paths of many people.

Those who missed the promotion deadline due to the freeze are even more frustrated and have no way to express their grievances.

We can't exactly ask the provincial party secretary for an explanation.

Now, everyone knows that the measures Lei Yu proposed were actually Xia Qing's idea.

This will resolve the accumulated contradictions and further enhance the influence of the Organization Department.

They can also give the Provincial Party Committee Office a good dressing down.

Imagine, who wouldn't want to do something that helps others achieve their goals?

Carrying out the provincial group's decisions can also bring favors and a good reputation; everyone would be eager to do such a job.

The personnel in charge of organizational work were all grateful to Xia Qing for the platform she provided and the generous mechanism for tolerating and correcting mistakes.

This kind of environment is the real stage for cadres to show their talents and shine!

Looking at the confident expressions of the officials below the stage, Xia Qing couldn't help but joke:

"Everyone is very motivated! This way, we, the members of the department committee, can save some trouble and leave it to you."

This drew laughter from the entire audience.

This meeting served as a summary and review of the work done in 2015, and a brainstorming session for the work in 2016.

It was an unprecedented success!

The Organization Department has begun a new chapter in the new year.

Everyone is ready to embrace the challenges of the new year with renewed enthusiasm!

……

These days, the investigation team in Luzhou City has also received good news.

After more than half a month of hard work, and with the help of several deputy-department-level leaders from Lüzhou City and section chiefs from key provincial departments who suddenly appeared and offered to assist in the investigation, the investigation team, under the guidance of Tian Guofu, successfully conducted a thorough investigation into cadres who, during the progress of the resort project, failed to report suspicious issues or avoided discussing potential risks.

A group of cadres were identified and, upon verification, were found to have had illegal dealings with Huilong Group and even Zhao Ruilong himself.

In advancing the eco-resort project, this group of officials either concealed the existence of the exclusive franchise rights, intentionally obscured the relevant review process, or emphasized Sha Ruijin's influence behind the project, stirring up a media frenzy.

In short, they were like soldiers on a battlefield, launching a fierce attack on the fortress of Sha Ruijin in their own ways.

The mastermind behind this group of soldiers was Zhao Ruilong.

Tian Guofu felt fortunate to have caught such a group of people.

In this way, Sha Ruijin's return to work is just around the corner.

Fortunately, Kang Le, who was transferred from the Organization Department to become the deputy director of the Land and Resources Bureau, was not implicated.

He was simply an executor who diligently carried out the decisions and plans of his superiors. In addition, every process had ledgers and meeting minutes, and all of them were subject to collective voting.

Kang Le escaped safely and naturally.

Tian Guofu was satisfied with the result. He didn't want to touch anyone in the Organization Department, nor did he want to affect Sha Ruijin.

Of course, such investigation results still cannot withstand close scrutiny.

Tian Guofu was well aware of this.

Sha Ruijin put a lot of effort into this project, and he used his influence as the provincial party secretary to open many "green channels" for it, including the investment and shareholding of his brother-in-law Ni Fugui, all of which were a done deal.

If the investigation goes to the very end, Sha Ruijin will have no way to shirk responsibility.

But who is Tian Guofu? The shrewd and calculating man had already made his judgment the moment the two leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection landed in Handong.

These two men were students of Master Ni from Beijing.

Mr. Ni is Sha Ruijin's father-in-law.

Therefore, the above-mentioned intention was not actually to deal with Sha Ruijin.

What we want is an explanation, a suitable investigation result.

The current outcome is a happy one for everyone.

Handong cannot do without Sha Ruijin, at least not now.

Otherwise, who will carry the banner of this comprehensive anti-corruption campaign?

A fleeting shadow crossed Tian Guofu's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He resumed his usual amiable smile, put the draft of the investigation results into his briefcase, and knocked on the door of the two leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection...
