Since Chen Huai has acted as if he welcomed Zhou Qibao to Xiapu to preside over the government work, and asked Zhou Qibao to decide on the new candidate for the director of the government office, Qijingyao was unhappy and had no intention of having an opposition with Zhou Qibao at this time. He nodded and said, "County Magistrate Zhou and Secretary Chen are old acquaintances. Secretary Chen believes in County Mayor Zhou's vision of picking people, so I naturally believe it too."

After hearing Qi Jingyao mention the old things, Zhou Qibao guessed that she was unhappy because she did not win the position of county magistrate. She thought that this woman would still be difficult to deal with in the future, but she didn't say anything at the moment.

At first, Zhou Qibao only thought about taking his secretary Yang Guang and driver Ma Jianchun to Xiapu first by secondment, and staying with him to work. He heard Chen Huai agree that he would choose the new candidate for the director of the government office. He was also a little surprised. He looked up and saw that there was no falsehood in Chen Huai's eyes, and smiled and said, "Thank you Secretary Chen for your trust in me."

As long as Chen Huai nodded, it would be useless for Shan Qi Jingyao to object. However, even if he and Chen Huai were old acquaintances, they were always in their hearts. Zhou Qibao naturally would not think that Chen Huai would really love him from now on and take good care of him from now on.

Of course, Chen Huai never expected Zhou Qibao to receive his kindness. He just talked about his personal abilities and who is more suitable to preside over the government work of Xiapu County. He had no more choice between Zhou Qibao and Qi Jingyao.

Xu Pei finally agreed to Zhou Qibao come to Xiapu to work, and gave more or less warnings. The unexpected statement was nothing more than that the cooperation and support he had been consistent with the provincial party secretary Zhong Limin in the province. The Meigang Group was not qualified to ask him to compromise.

Chen Huai had no intention of insisting on working with Xu Pei at this time, just thinking that the whole county would be able to work normally and move forward smoothly, and he would be willing to cooperate without intrigue and less quarrel.

After Tan Qiping was transferred from Donghua, Zhou Qibao stayed in Tangzha District to preside over the government work and worked with Xiong Wenbin and Meng Jiansheng for two consecutive teams. Although he did not achieve many special results, his performance was quite appropriate and his ability was not weak.

Zhou Qibao initially followed Tan Qiping from the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department to the local area, and his interpersonal relationships and vision were wider than most county and department-level officials in the local area, which were factors that were conducive to the work.

These factors are all the things that Zhou Qibao is better than Qi Jingyao.

Chen Huai has worked hard for nearly a year as secretary and county magistrate. He has no intention of taking over power, but he has to bear so many responsibilities on his shoulders and can't even shirk it.

Now that Zhou Qibao is the county magistrate, Qi Jingyao is the director of the National People's Congress. In addition to the fact that a lot of responsibilities are shared by these two people, Chen Huai thought that Qi Jingyao would probably stare at Zhou Qibao more in the back. He would not have anything to do and think about rushing over and biting him, which was a little relieved.

"Except for the director of the county government office, there will be no major changes in other personnel in the county in the short term. Of course, if County Mayor Zhou finds that someone in the county is incompetent or even dereliction of duty, he can submit a replacement opinion to the county party committee and organization department at any time, and this should be the case," he said.

Chen Huai said some minor personnel adjustments, and then took a blue cover record book on his desk and told Zhou Qibao about some government work handover.

"The work on fiscal budget and final accounts has been completed in 1998, but Xiapu is in a period of rapid economic growth and has great changes in fiscal and taxation. After the Spring Festival, we will do the first and second quarter budget adjustments. County Mayor Zhou, if you take these tasks, you can also have a way to get familiar with the work in the county as soon as possible. In addition to the Finance Bureau, if you have anything unclear, Lao Du will also listen to your consultation at any time. Before the new appointment of the director of the government office, Lao Du was still the director of the government office..."

Zhou Qibao also recorded the handover of Chen Huai in a straightforward manner and said politely to Du Jian: "Then I have any unknown things in the future, and I will have to trouble Secretary-General Du more."

Du Jian smiled and said, "Serving the leader is what I should do. County Magistrate Zhou, please call me Lao Du. If you have any questions, I will be more at ease."

Zhou Qibao wondered if there was any other meaning in Du Jian's lyrics. Du Jian also said, "Deputy County Magistrate Yao, who is in charge of agriculture, is still participating in activities outside. It was decided a month earlier. It may take two days to go back to the county to meet with County Magistrate Zhou. In addition to Deputy County Magistrate Dai, Deputy County Magistrate Song and Assistant Wang are all in the county, and they can hold party group meetings at any time..."

Zhou Qibao nodded, and did not immediately say anything clearly. He looked at Chen Huai to show that he would do everything possible to keep in line with Chen Huai.

Zhou Qibao's subtle actions made Qi Jingyao feel ashamed when he saw it, but he has to say that Zhou Qibao is an official.

Chen Huai said: "The government party group meeting was slightly expanded. Several deputy directors of the government office, the finance bureau, and the heads of several important bureaus of the Public Security Bureau all called over. Secretary Qi and I also accompanied County Mayor Zhou to participate, which was considered to be a formal handing over the burden on the government to County Mayor Zhou to bear it."

After Yu Chengzhen conveyed the appointment on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Qibao mainly met with members of the county standing committee, members of the county government party group and heads of important bureaus, and Chen Huai accompanied him to meet, which was also conducive to his initial gain in Xiapu County, so he naturally would not refuse.

***************************

The county party committee and government still squeezed a building to work in the old city. Previously, there were some other institutions in the courtyard. After moving out one after another in the past two years, the office space in the courtyard was more spacious. However, compared with the current financial situation of Xiapu County, the main building built in the early 1970s was only four stories high, which looked a bit out of place.

The county party committee is in the east half-pie building and the county government is in the west half-pie building. Chen Huai has been working in the east half-pie building for nearly a year. The county magistrate's office here has been empty until Zhou Qiming came to take office.

Zhou Qibao watched Du Jian leave, closed the door, turned around and watched all this quietly.

There were traces of cleaning up in the office for less than two days. It was obvious that Chen Huai or Du Jian had made some preparations for his appointment, rather than delaying it until today. No matter what the situation will be like, at least today he was relieved and he was about to finish his first day at Xiapu.

He had just signed for the documents in the dock in the bookcase. Seeing that it was dark, Zhou Qibao took the latest financial and tax information from Xiapu County and put it in his briefcase to take it home to read at night. He notified the driver to drive the car out of the parking lot and send him and his secretary Yang Guang home.

Zhou Qibao also lives in Donghua City, less than 30 kilometers away from Xiapu County, and it is quite convenient to walk Meipu Avenue. Another wife works in the newly established social security center in the city. It is impossible for ordinary cadres to get a car, and his son is also studying at No. 1 Middle School in the city, so the family naturally will not move to Xiapu to make repeated troubles.

Du Jian said that it was a residence arranged by the county, and Zhou Qibao didn't go to see it. He thought that he would ask his secretary Yang Guang to take a look another day. If the conditions were right, it would be regarded as a temporary resting place in Xiapu, and it would not be suitable.

The car was on Meipu Avenue. Zhou Qibao closed his eyes and was thinking about things. The cell phone in his pocket vibrated. He took out the phone call that mayor Guo Chengze called directly. He did not dare to neglect it, and subconsciously sat upright and connected.

"Today we arrived in Xiapu, everything went smoothly, right?" Guo Chengze asked Zhou Qibao on the phone.

What could be wrong today? Zhou Qibao thought to himself, but he also knew what Guo Chengze meant to call, and said cheerfully: "Well, it went quite smoothly. Secretary Yu went back at noon. In the afternoon, he mainly talked about work handover with Secretary Chen. He was accompanied by Secretary Shen and met with the heads of the county government party group and several key bureaus. It took a long time to pass. I just left the county now. Thank you Mayor Guo for your concern."

"It's good to go well," Guo Chengze laughed and said, "After you arrive in Xiapu, you must cooperate with Chen Huai to do a good job in government work. Not only the city but also the province have high hopes for you."

After hearing what Guo Chengze said, Zhou Qibao was still a little excited.

The meaning conveyed by Guo Chengze in the middle is not very clear, but Zhou Qibao can figure out the deeper meaning.

In the long run, Secretary Xu Pei is committed to promoting the development of the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone. In the future, the focus of Huaihai Province will also be concentrated in the Huaihai Bay and the Zhujiang area. Xu Pei does not want his influence to float on the surface. He must penetrate deeper and into the grassroots level, and can continue to maintain it after he leaves Huaihai. The personnel arrangements of Xiapu County are an extremely important part.

Zhou Qibao knew that he seemed to be transferred to Xiapu as county magistrate, but not to mention that Xiapu County is now ranked first in the province's county economy. In the future, Xiapu County and Xinpu Port will definitely be the top priority in the Huaihai Bay area and the core of the core. Everyone knows that the position of Xiapu County Mayor is not comparable to that of other ordinary districts and counties.

There are more than 100 districts and counties in the county, more than 200 district mayors, county magistrates, district party secretary, and county party secretary. How many places are there? How many people can be called to the provincial party committee leaders remember their names and impress them?

Everyone is saying that in the future, Secretary Xu Pei will not only replace Zhao Qiuhua as governor, but also replace Zhong Limin as secretary of the provincial party committee. Even if he knows that Chen Huai is difficult to deal with, how could Zhou Qibao refuse after knowing that his transfer to Xiapu was instructed by Secretary Xu Pei?

He was transferred to the position of County Mayor Xiapu today, and he saw that he had just taken a small step forward in his career, but in Secretary Xu Pei's circle, he took a big step forward. In the past, he served as deputy secretary of the district party committee and district mayor in Tangzha District, mainly in line with Meng Jiansheng, and Guo Chengze called him directly, and the difference was obvious.

Recently, after the management rights of the Huaihai Government Construction Fund were handed over to the Huaihai Bay Economic Zone Development Leading Group, Chen Huai also promised to continue to hand over to the construction fund for no less than one-quarter of the total fiscal and tax revenue of Xiapu County every year to promote infrastructure in the Huaihai Bay area.

This fund is of great significance to supplementing the current provincial finances, and it also means that Xu Pei can bypass Zhao Qiuhua and gain greater economic and fiscal power. Xu Pei naturally hopes that this agreement can be implemented without fail.

However, this agreement is a single-line agreement between the county and the province. Even if the resistance in Donghua City is not considered, it does not have much force effect.

Commitment is one thing. There are great concerns about how Xiapu County will be implemented and how to implement it to the extent. Chen Huai is obviously not a good person. As long as he finds a suitable excuse, even when facing the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, he may be able to do something back on his word. Xu Pei needs someone who is trustworthy to come to Xiapu County to supervise and implement this agreement.

If Zhou Qibao can do this well, his position in Secretary Xu Pei's mind will be even stronger.
