In the mayor's office, Chen Yang sat on a comfortable Taipan chair, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea on his right hand, and slowly sipping the fragrant tea.

If you look closely, you will find that the cup he holds in his hand is very exquisite, full of antiquity, it is a Guangxu imitation of the color of the chicken cup, this year, people like him who take antiques to use normally are estimated to have no one else except him, this cup is actually he began to use it when he was in elementary school, the origin is not very clear, in short, his mother took him to drink boiling water, and it was not regarded as an antique, not expensive, it is about hundreds of thousands. He originally used to drink tea was a pair of teacups given by his mother when he married Chen Ruonan, it is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi used, but unfortunately it was accidentally broken by Xiao Xue, although he asked someone to repair it, but it can no longer be used to drink tea, and then Xiao Xue bought an imitation teacup, but he is not used to it, and when he returned to the capital a while ago, he saw this cup at home again, so he took it to Huahai by the way, and continued to use it in the office.

It's a good thing, but what attracts him even more is the file he's holding in his left hand.

This personnel file belongs to Gao Shan, the head of the United Front Work Department, who is 43 years old this year, a native of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and on his work resume, except for three years in the mid-90s, when he had a temporary post in the Central Propaganda Department, he has been working in Huahai for the rest of the time, and he can be regarded as a cadre who grew up in Huahai.

After graduating from university, he directly entered the general office of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee at that time, and his first job was to serve as an ordinary staff member in the second secretary section, and he stayed up for about three years, and was favored by Chairman Zhang, who was then the deputy secretary of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee, and worked as a secretary for Zhang Qian for more than three years. When Chairman Zhang became secretary of the municipal party committee, he was sent to Binhai District as deputy district head, then deputy secretary, and then immediately transferred to the Central Propaganda Department for three years. After coming back, he served as the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee for two years, and then went to Jing'an District to serve as the secretary of the district party committee. He entered the Standing Committee.

In general, Gao Shan's resume is not complicated, it is a typical trajectory of a secretary's party promotion, of course, Chen Yang believes that this senior minister should have a bit of a background in his family, otherwise, after graduating from university, where would it be so easy to directly enter the work of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee at that time. It's just that. It is unknown how he was later favored by Chairman Zhang, and he should have some ability.

Chairman Zhang served two terms as secretary of the municipal party committee in Huahai, and his influence in Huahai was far-reaching. Up to now, there are even many cadres at and above the department level who were promoted by Chairman Zhang back then.

As a member of the Huahai department, after Gao Shan entered the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he immediately stood on the side of Gao Ming, or Shi Minghui, which was naturally a matter of success.

To Chen Yang's surprise, he didn't know it before. It was only after reading this material that I learned that Takayama had been married twice, and the first lady died of rectal cancer in 98. The current wife, that is, the woman named Dai Lingling from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, was newly married by him two years ago, no wonder the age gap between the two is so big, he is forty-three this year, and Dai Lingling is only twenty-six. It's almost twenty years old. But then again, at Gao Shan's current age, he has already become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. The future can be described as very bright, and it can even be said that in the domestic officialdom, except for a very small number of demon-level figures, such as Chen Yang, he can already be called a rising stride.

After reading it, Chen Yang casually threw this personnel file back on the table, took a sip of tea, and began to think about whether he could use some recent discoveries to make some articles.

Indeed, don't look at Chen Yang drinking tea leisurely now, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart that the shape he is facing now is already very severe.

Now the shape in Huahai City is not complicated, after more than two years of operation, he already has his own group of people, not to mention the city government, except for Wen Yue, the thorn, he has completely controlled the situation, and the current Huahai City Government can be described by the sentence of closely uniting around him.

In terms of middle-level cadres in the following committees and bureaus, Chen Yang's influence has also gradually increased, especially in several key middle-level leadership positions, Liao Dahai of the Finance Bureau, Zhang Yang of the Land and Resources Bureau, Wang Wanping, the incoming director of the Personnel Bureau, and the first and second leaders of Xuhui District, Changning District, Hongkou District, and so on, are also cadres who are very close to him.

In the most critical member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, it is clearly divided into several forces.

On the one hand, Zhang Li, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Li Guanping, Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, belong to the unconditional and unprincipled pro-Chen faction, although Executive Vice Mayor Zeng Aihua is a little helpless, but his abnormal performance in the last few Standing Committee meetings has made him completely cut himself off from the local faction in Huahai, and has even become a thorn in the side of Shi Minghui's faction.

In addition, although Zeng Chunming, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and president of the party school, had a disengaged attitude and did not want to offend both sides, at the critical moment, I believe that even if he was reluctant in his heart, he could only make a choice in favor of Chen Yang.

As for Fang Yi, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, he belongs to the real wandering faction, and people on both sides want to win it, but it is difficult to gain his support. And Chen Yang knew in his heart that Fang Yi also had his own abacus, but it was not yet time for him to show his dew.

The rest of the other Standing Committee members were naturally led by Gao Ming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but under Gao Ming's single-minded pursuit of stability and began to find a balance in dealing with things, the cadres of the local faction in Huahai no longer had much confidence in him, and now they gathered around Shi Minghui, and everyone knew very well that in the case that Gao Ming was about to leave, the competition for the vacated number one position was the key.

For Chen Yang, the same is true, and even more than the other party, he can't afford to lose this increasingly fierce competition. After all, he is now the mayor of the government, the second-in-command in the city, and it is natural to win, but once Shi Minghui is finally put in power, or the high-level above will come up with a plan to balance the interests of all parties after the struggle and weighing, for example, in the end, the competition is too fierce and affected, and the central government will parachute down a new number one if it is not good.

It's not impossible, it's very possible. After all, even if you remove the factor that Chen Yang is too young, in fact, it has only been a little more than two years since he arrived in Huahaiman, and in such a short period of time, he immediately turned positive and took the position of the number one, and the conditions in all aspects are very immature. What's more, in the two years he has been mayor, he has not really made achievements that are truly recognized by the above, and even strictly speaking, under his leadership, Huahai's overall economic development rate has regressed slightly compared with the previous two years, which is undoubtedly a weapon that the other party can use to attack him at any time.

All in all, apart from the fact that he took over the clever class, no matter what other outcome occurred, the damage to him was enormous. Even now, it can be foreseen that once he finally loses this competition, it will inevitably make the high-level re-examine his ability to control the overall situation, and his position at the core level of the group will be immediately lost, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make another breakthrough in his career.

Let's put it this way, although Chen Yang's previous career has also encountered a lot of twists and turns, but on the whole, it is relatively smooth, of course, his opportunity luck is also good, the occasion coincides with the principal's ascension, but his predecessor Xue Rui has just been squeezed out by the Huahai department, otherwise, he would not have been able to take such an important position as the mayor of Huahai so quickly.

It's just that, as the saying goes, Cheng also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, he came early, but it may not be coincidental, if you give him a little more time, Gao Ming will work for another two or three years, I believe that he will definitely be able to come up with outstanding achievements to plug the mouths of the bigwigs of other factions above, plus his term of office has also expired, as soon as Gao Ming leaves, he will take over the post of secretary of the municipal party committee, I believe that no one can pick out the slightest thorn.

In fact, when Yu Qiang talked to him and said that the organization was going to arrange for him to work in Huahai, he had hesitated and repeated for a period of time to come to Huahai to go to this troubled water, first, he had no foundation in Huahai, and it was impossible to establish his own influence in three or five years, and secondly, he also knew that he had offended many people and forces in the past few years, and he was too young, the best choice was to take a break for a few years and then come out to work, otherwise his age would be too smooth, but it would be not good, but it would be easy to be honest. But in the end, he still felt that the opportunities outweighed the risks, and gladly accepted the organization's arrangement.

But looking back now, Gao Ming left at this juncture, which made him even a little suspicious, this was very likely to be a trap set by someone else. After all, he has become one of the few rising political stars in the domestic political arena, and some factions with the strength to win the championship may also see the countless possibilities in themselves, so they began to want to attack themselves early. And when he became the mayor of Huahai, I am afraid that for them, it was also a dangerous move with both risks and opportunities.

If they let themselves stay in Huahai for five years, complete a term as mayor, and make a lot of achievements, and then naturally become the leader, they will naturally miscalculate, but if there are variables in the middle of the way, and the central government sends someone down to take over the smart class, then they will inevitably be pressed for one term, or even two terms, then, my future will probably be marked with a big question mark, or maybe it will be a big full stop.

And this is obviously the situation that the bigwigs of these factions are happy to see. After all, their own existence has posed a huge threat to their favorite successor. Isn't it? Now in the upper echelons, who doesn't know that they are the person favored by the principal?

Now let's look at Gao Ming's seemingly expected transfer, who dares to say that there is no hand behind these bigwigs behind it?
