Chapter 57 Leader, I Want More Responsibility
Chapter 57 Leader, I Want More Responsibility
"Tongwei, among these people from your township, which one do you think is most suitable to take on more responsibilities?"
Luo Cheng asked, "This time, the county is expanding the party and government leadership of Gushanling Township. They must be promoting one or two people from Gushanling Township."
"Minister Luo, you're putting me in a difficult position."
However, since you asked, I'll share my immature opinion.
I think that Yan Shihai, the organization committee member, and Xiao Dajun, the director of the finance office, are the most suitable to take on more responsibilities.
Agricultural technician work is the most difficult job, and the fact that Yan Shihai can do a good job at the agricultural technology station shows that his ability is not a problem at all.
Xiao Dajun is in charge of the township's finances, and our township is dirt poor, so we often have to stretch every penny. Therefore, he needs exceptional abilities.
Qi Tongwei said that Xiao Dajun, the director of the Finance Office, and Zhao Changshan, the director of the Civil Affairs Office, were both people of the township head Yan Maoqing.
As for Yan Shihai, he should be a neutral person.
Qi Tongwei originally thought he was Wan Jiaxian's man, but he offended Wan Jiaxian as soon as he reported for duty, so Yan Shihai didn't make things difficult for him.
Aside from assigning himself the most difficult villages—Qingshui, Lingxia, Ling'an, and Lingshang—he didn't make things difficult for himself.
The last time Yan Maoqing appointed Yan Shihai as the organization committee member, it was probably also to win Yan Shihai over and plant a stick in Wan Jiaxian's territory.
Qi Tongwei recommended Yan Shihai to Luo Chengcai because he wanted to bring Yan Shihai under his command.
"Minister Luo, is the county going to expand the leadership team for our township?"
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but ask, wanting to know more specific information.
"Yes, your township applied to the county to add two deputy township heads, but the county did not agree."
In order to implement national policies, the county has added a deputy township head to your township and promoted you to deputy township head.
During the last personnel changes in your township, a leader proposed expanding the township's Party committee leadership.
The county has done some research and found that your township has a large area and a large population, so it is indeed necessary to expand the leadership team for work purposes.
Not only should the Party Committee leadership be expanded, but the government leadership should also be expanded.
Specific plans for expansion are still under study.
Luo Chengcai did not hide it; the news had already spread, but many people in the county did not take any action.
I probably still don't want to go to Gushanling Township, the most underdeveloped township in the county.
Therefore, the Organization Department considered people from within Gushanling Township.
Otherwise, there would be a lot of competition for those deputy section chief positions.
"Minister Luo, I think I can take on even more responsibilities."
Qi Tongwei volunteered, saying that since the county wanted to expand the party and government leadership of Gushanling Township, he should seize this opportunity to move forward and become a member of the township party committee.
"Tongwei, you've only been promoted to deputy township head for a little over three months, so we can't give you any more responsibilities for now."
"If we give you more responsibilities so soon, your colleagues will have complaints."
Luo Cheng immediately rejected the idea, saying that Qi Tongwei was not qualified enough and that he should wait until Qi Tongwei had served as deputy township head for a full year before he could be given more responsibilities.
"Minister Luo, I think I can take on more responsibilities."
I started vegetable cultivation in our township, and we achieved good results last year.
After expanding the planting scale this year, I was also in charge of vegetable planting in the first half of the year, and I achieved good results.
After becoming the deputy township head, although I was not in charge of agriculture, I assisted the executive deputy township head in vegetable planting.
Under my guidance, the vegetables grown in our village are now being sold in the city.
Now, I've started selling local mountain products, which has helped increase the income of the villagers and boosted the township's fiscal revenue.
I'm also preparing to repair the road, and the primary and secondary school teachers in our township have undergone several training sessions to improve their teaching skills...
I think I've done a pretty good job.
Next, I plan to set up a vegetable processing plant and a mountain produce processing plant to change the situation where there are no enterprises in our township.
In addition, I am currently preparing to write an article about organizational and personnel matters.
Published in the People's Daily, Freedom Daily, Hanjiang Daily, Southern Daily, and Huacheng Morning Post.
Please help me correct it and sign your name when the time comes.
Qi Tongwei first summarized his work, and then offered the bait.
Time waits for no one, and Qi Tongwei needs to get himself into the township party committee leadership team as soon as possible.
In officialdom, there's a saying: "If you fall behind by one step, you'll fall behind by every step."
In other words, if you are promoted one step slower than others, you will always fall behind.
Promotions made outside the usual channels are rare; one needs to achieve remarkable results, make significant contributions, and receive attention from all levels of government.
At the same time, a powerful leader above you thinks this is very good.
Conversely, being one step ahead means being ahead in every step.
Promotion has specific requirements; you must meet the conditions to be eligible for further promotion.
Just like in townships, among deputy section-level cadres, ordinary deputy section-level cadres must first be transferred to become members of the township party committee.
Then, one must work for a period of time in several deputy-section-level township party committee leadership positions before being promoted to section-level.
However, a person at the level of section chief in a township is not necessarily promoted to township head; they could also be promoted to chairman of the people's congress.
It's perfectly normal to let you gain experience in the position of Chairman of the People's Congress for a few years before promoting you to Township Head.
Qi Tongwei now appears to be ahead of the positions of Organization Committee Member, Political and Legal Affairs Committee Member, Publicity Committee Member, United Front Work Committee Member, and Director of the Party and Government Office.
However, if the county wants to expand the Party Committee of Gushanling Township, these people are likely to become members of the township Party Committee, which would put them ahead of Qi Tongwei.
Therefore, if Qi Tongwei wants to stay ahead, he needs to be admitted to the Party Committee first.
As long as he gets into the Party Committee leadership team ahead of others in Gushanling Township, he will be ahead of everyone else.
Moreover, this is only a leading position in Gushanling Township; there are many competitors in the county.
In the past, county officials did not compete with officials from Gushanling Township because Gushanling Township was backward, had poor conditions, and lacked important positions.
Once the county expands the party and government leadership of Gushanling Township, there will be more powerful deputy section-level positions, and some people will compete for these newly added deputy section-level positions.
Qi Tongwei offered to add his name to the article in exchange for Luo Chengcai taking on more responsibilities.
His articles are published in prestigious newspapers; I'm sure Luo Chengcai would be tempted.
If Luo Chengcai doesn't agree, he'll go to the Party Secretary and the County Head; he believes they'll be tempted too.
"Let me look into it!"
Luo Cheng was tempted. Who wouldn't want to publish an article in a major newspaper? But it's not an easy thing.
First, you need to be able to write articles, and second, a newspaper needs to be willing to accept and publish your articles.
Otherwise, it will all be for nothing.
However, none of these are problems for Qi Tongwei. He has already published more than a dozen articles and made a name for himself.
Of course, Qi Tongwei also did a very good job. Such a capable comrade should be given important responsibilities.
"Then I'll eagerly await Minister Luo's good news. I'll write the article as soon as I get back."
Seeing that Luo Cheng had relented, Qi Tongwei immediately spoke up.
I'll write the article first, let you see it, ask you to help revise it, and then put your name on it.
As for when it will be published, that depends on whether you give me more responsibility.
After leaving Luo Chengcai's office, Qi Tongwei went to the office of the deputy county head in charge of culture, education, and industry and commerce to report and ask for their support for Gushanling Township.
